Episode 2351 CWSA 01/12/24

good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization it's called gy with Scott Adams and I don't think there's better been a better time in your entire life if you'd like this experience to go up the levels that well can't even believe all you need for that would be a what do you need for that you know a copper muger a glass a tanker shells a sty a canteen Jugger flask a v of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee and join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dope of me here the day thing that makes everything better it's called It's called The simultaneous Sip and it happens now go ah looks like we got good sound on all platforms everything's working today yay how about that news huh so according to the news Sam mman uh just got married and uh imagine his year so Sam mman launches the the greatest new technology in our lifetime which is uh open Ai and chat GPT then he gets fired or or whatever it was and then it's a big drama and he comes back and AI is changing the world and the thing that we didn't know during all of that drama he was planning a wedding do have any of you ever planned a wedding do you have any idea how much trouble that is can you imagine his year this is like the year that nobody could even understand how in the world do you do all those things in one year so congratulations to Sam mman uh there's an app that I thought was very cool I'm going to tell you about it's called hero and it uses AI of course but all you do is you point your phone to any object you own and it will tell you how much you can sell it for is that cool I feel like that's what I've been waiting for my whole life I I just want to point my phone at like you know my coffee cup and have it come up with the price I don't think it quite connects you you know the buyer and the seller so there's another step there that could be cool but uh oh e.

Bay has something similar you say I haven't seen that now that's some AI I could use just pointed as something that tells you what it's worth well here's some really good news from Germany so Germany has managed to reduce their emissions so their emissions are low this year and you're probably wondering how did they do it how did Germany lower its admissions emissions well checking the fine print uh Germany lowered their emissions by substantially lowering their quality of life and killing their economic engine of growth so big success in Germany good good luck Germany congratulations on reducing your quality of life to the level that K clous Schwab requires so big winner CLA Schwab all right uh Jerry Nadler was quoted as saying that uh one of the reasons well two of the reasons really that we need uh immigration and even he says illegal immigration so at least he's being very honest about this in transparent and nler says uh our vegetables would rot in the ground if they weren't being picked by many immigrants many illegal immigrants yeah so when it comes to National security Jerry nater is most interested in checking notes again his food his food yeah Jerry Jerry wants to make sure we got lots of illegal immigrants because uh he's a he's a hungry and he needs lots of vegetables lots of vegetables so he needs more illegal immigrants to get to get his calary count up now the one thing I should warn the immigrants about is if we run out of vegetables Jerry nedler will you you you get that right you know if if it's up to Jerry dler first he would eat the vegetables the first choice but if there are no vegetables Jerry still needs to eat he's going to be eating the illegal immigrants I don't know I just think that could happen I'm not guaranteeing it I'm just saying it could happen all I'm saying is he's very hungry that's all I'm saying well you'll be delighted to know that uh there's been a big breakthrough in AI writing jokes and this is this is quite exciting you know I told you that AI would never be able to be good at humor well I guess I'm eating my words more than Jerry Nadler is eating illegal immigrants because somebody made uh a George Carlin that doesn't sound at all like George Carlin and tells jokes that don't sound anything like George Carlin would tell but they've been deemed funny do you know what the joke was uh something about a fart uh that was trying to escape an so that's the joke that AI came up with now in my experience uh AI a i thinks that all humor is word play and the reason I know that is I've asked AI to tell me jokes and I can say it specifically tell me a joke but don't use word play and then it will tell me a joke with word play and then I'll say okay but try it again but I want no word play can be no puns no clever wording no nothing with word play just a joke and it will give you another joke with word play because it actually can't do anything else now this is this is probably a quiz that you can all do well on are fart jokes funny in the comments tell me are fart jokes funny to to a segment of the population 100% of fart jokes are funny you know that right you might not be in that segment but I think it's 25% of the public that's just a guess it feels like it would be 25% uh thinks all far jokes are funny my my uh beloved late father was in that 25% if you wanted dad to laugh I wouldn't go too clever no no but if you could make a good f j f joke dad would be laughing I'll tell you that's funny stuff um so here's what I need to tell as a professional humorist what is the lowest form of humor go what is the lowest considered the least capable easiest lowest form of humor some people would say word play and puns other people would say bathroom humor and farts but AI apparently has risen all the way to the level of the lowest humor you could ever write word play about a fart and somebody was bragging about how AI had finally broken through into the humor domain no it hasn't no it hasn't if your best joke is a fart joke with a word play you have not entered the world of humor you have not you're knocking on the door but you're not inside you're definitely outside the door you so no uh AI is not about toh take your job now can you imagine the AI would ever be good enough to do a Dave Chappelle like humor where he's weaving together you know whole tapestry and you don't know where it's heading until the surprise ending that ties it all together and makes you question your your convictions and you know makes you see things from the other side for the first time it can't do that will it ever be able to do that well I don't think so though um well let me be specific I don't think that the large language models will ever produce humor that would be Chappelle quality humor or Seinfeld or you know most of the greats and the reason is that um AI is designed to stay safe that's the first problem because Chappelle never works safe he doesn't work dirty but he's never safe an AI only has to be safe it's designed that way and more importantly AI has to be boring and inoffensive and it's just I just can't see it doing it and and the other thing is that a human is sort of Surfing the Zeitgeist you know so Chappelle knows what you're feeling and thinking and then he crafts his work around it and he would change it a month from now if you're feeling and thinking differently HEI can't do that not even close all right all right uh Microsoft has overtaken apple as the world's largest or most valuable company so Microsoft is the most valuable company um I told you a while ago that I was selling on my Apple stock this is not Financial advice not not not Financial advice because I don't give Financial advice I'm not good at it really um but I did sell my Apple stock because I was worried about the risk of AI because they seem behind and I did buy a bunch of Microsoft stock before it had its run so God I got lucky man you know the the most important part of investing is pure luck pure luck the the the Apple part I may have guessed right but as soon as they if Apple introduces their own Ai and is great then I really up right if Ai and apple work well together and it probably will probably will um then holding Apple would be the best betat but there's no way to know so it introduced some risk um dementia Hitler um is coming out with some uh New Lies he said today's data shows that we ended 2023 with inflation down by nearly 2third from its peak and core inflation at its lowest level blah blah blah blah what was the last time Joe Biden tweeted TW did something that was true have you noticed that it it's almost 100% false when he tweets now I think in this case he's just playing the game of you know what base do you start measuring you know if you start at this base inflation is up if you start at this base it looks like it's down so he's obviously just playing you know numbers games here and which I would consider a lie um I don't know I feel like I feel like Trump lied way less in tweets am I wrong about that see that a typical Trump tweet would be a joke which is not a lie he could he could simply say what the numbers are you know inflation is 2% or whatever it is and that wouldn't be a lie because he'd just be telling you what the statistic is and then he gives you opinions which are not lies you might not like them but the an opinion is not a lie and then there are insults about his his enemies which might be hyperbole but you would recognize it obviously as Hyperbole and you would judge as so I I would say I don't know if this is purely me being a team player I guess you can judge me on this I want you all to judge me all right th this is a category where I can't judge my own performance I'm not sure you could either but judge me on this am I being just biased and blind when I say in my opinion the social media posting of Biden is far more factually inaccurate than Trump and I'm not saying that Trump passes the factchecking I'm just saying he doesn't post a bunch of Lies it's not that he hasn't I'm just saying that he's more likely to go with Hyperbole and opinion and what's important in America First and they're not exactly Li you know most of it but I feel like when Biden says anything it's it's just a flat lie that's what it feels like but am I wrong is that am my way off base I'm just biased because I might be I'm open to the fact that that's a false pattern but I can tell you that this tweet proves that dementia Hitler doesn't know the difference between up and down when it comes to inflation anyway maybe other things too all right my minor theme for today's show is everything you suspected is true now that's sort of a continuing theme in a sense because we've all been saying that it seems like all the conspiracy theories are coming true now that's of course not actually true not all the conspiracy theories but a lot of the fun ones so let's look at a few um apparently the uh passports the US passports have been redesigned and the Biden Administration has removed uh the eagle and the flag in other words the American imagery has been removed from the passport and now it's just a document why would you do that like what what conversation went into that and what it looks like is something that I kind of resisted you know probably I don't know how many years ago did the crazy people on the right start saying I think the Democrats and the marxists especially the marxists are trying to destroy the imagery and sort of the culture of America so that they can you know slot in their their belief systems better and I remember thinking to myself well that's really giving them a lot of credit for a long-term planning that feels like too much credit so I was kind of on the of well I see what you're saying but I feel like it's just a bunch of things that are coincidentally heading in that direction but then you see the passport and I honestly can't think of any reason you would remove American imagery from a passport maybe there's some reason is a an international standard and we're just trying to be more International is that why do other countries not put uh National imagery on their passport were we just trying to be standardized whatever the reason it probably wasn't good enough um yeah so everything from right the standard the family to what is a man what is a woman um all the CI and diversity and all that uh it all seems like uh it it does feel like it's designed to destroy the core of America values that made America what it is or was maybe was is a better word so yeah it looks it looks coordinated it it actually looks you maybe maybe not in the sense that they held a meeting and talked about it but it there does seem to be some general Sense on the Democrat side to destroy all that binds Us Together As Americans it's is starting to be hard to ignore you know I'm not so big on you know just images and stuff but it does seem comprehensive it would be hard to imagine that it's all coincidence at this point but can't rule out coincidence all right so Texas uh has is at war with the federal government the uh end wokeness one of my favorite accounts uh Reports say that Texas National Guard just seized control of Shelby Park and Eagle Pass that's the place the illegals were coming through the fence and they banned federal agencies from access in the area do you understand the the magnitude of that the military of the state is militarily acting against the federal government because the federal government is putting them at too much risk thank you thank you Governor abbit absolutely and they're putting the razor wire back and in my opinion this is a civil war is it not if the state uses uh Military Arms to take control back from the federal government what is that that is a Civil War I mean not big and official but if the state is militarily moving against the feds it it doesn't matter that the fed's back down that's a civil war so I I would say that it started this is the beginning of the Civil War now I hope that it stays small you know maybe it'll just be some more Rumblings like this probably you know the the most likely outcome is you know more conversations and the Supreme Court will get involved and you know people will back down and stuff I don't think this is going to blow into you know Civil War too but this is literally a civil war Am I Wrong it am I being too hyperbolic if your state is moving militarily against the federal government what else is that that's only a civil war there is no other way to label that he mind everything yeah okay uh well let's talk about Yemen um now many of you have made the following joke that the hoties the name of the people firing missiles at the ships in the Red Sea that it sounds like hoodie and the Blowfish that's almost clever that would be AI level cleverness right so if you were an AI you could come up with that joke oh it's like Hoody and the Blowfish it's word play word play but if you're going to do word play you have to take it another level no it's not hoodie and the uh and the Blowfish it's hoodies and the blow ships that's right hoodie hoodies and the blow ships much better that's called an upgrade let's see your AI do that now if I could uh maybe tie this in with a fart joke let's see blow ships hoodies we got your missiles fart joke uh I'm gonna have to work on this I I'll work on this and get back to you tuty okay you beat me 2D in the blow ships it's a far joke all right okay you win um did you know that uh Joe Biden in 2020 railed against Trump for starting a military action without getting congress's approval yeah that really happened now what is uh Joe Biden doing he he's uh attacking a foreign country without Congressional approval and Thomas Massie um is quickly getting into the hey you can't do that game and Rana Democrat is joining them or they're joining each other in uh opposing the military action without congress's approval I saw Nancy May Swang in the same so we do have a little bit of bipartisanship in terms of Congress should be in charge but I have a technical question my understanding and I I guess I don't have an understanding of how the uh Congress interacts with the president for military stuff uh can you do me give me a fact check on this is it true that the president can instigate military action without asking Congress um but he has to inform them within 48 hours is that is that correct so Biden 90 days oh 90 days to get their approval or or cut it out right but he has to inform the government within 48 hour hours which I believe has happened so does that mean he's got 90 days and he's totally within his legal bounds right you keep yelling War Powers Act Like that's telling me something I'm asking you what's in it not the name of it so stop yelling War Powers Act tell me what what the rules are you that that's what I'm asking um here's what I don't know what the the law does say but here's what it should say I think it is it should say that the president can do things without getting approval in the short run because that's what you want you know you don't want your uh Secretary of Defense to be unconscious you you want to be able to act fast because these are you know existential risks um so I don't know that anybody has yet violated a laws I don't think Biden's violated the War Powers Act has he I mean he could if he doesn't get the approval and he keeps going all right so I I don't have a complaint with how Biden is handling Yemen in terms of his dealing with Congress but if we stay there you know if it's not just a a punch and go then yeah Congress has to has to get on board with that that's the only way this can work all right and we will all be reminded today that uh Trump designated the hoodis in Yemen as a terrorist organization and then one day after taking office Joe Biden resented it and said you're not terrorists and now he's bombing the hell out of them the people are not terrorists so I don't know how many more times people can say this but if the Democratic party's policies is to do whatever Trump didn't do that's not even governing why is that that's not even trying yeah that's ridiculous it's absurd it's incompetent you can't even say enough bad about it I mean that you couldn't you could not design a system that was more incompetent than doing the opposite of what the other guy did you could not even come up with any idea worse than that um let's see so um yeah Benny Benny Johnson reported that uh that Trump said let's be clear Donald Trump does not have the authority to take us into war that was in 2020 war with Iran he was talking about well Mike covich weighed in with some classic satire and he says uh America can't win the war against hoodies without diversifying and inclusion diversity and inclusion uh Institute the draft for underrepresented groups immediately this is a matter of both National Security and social justice so jokingly Mike is saying that if diversity and inclusion are so important we better build the military around those principles so we have a strong enough military because you don't want a bunch of weak white people running your military with all their white supremacy that's just a big mistake so here's what I say uh I say white males should avoid every organization that is decentric in other words if any organization whether it's the military any other part of the government private Corporation if they tell you and they're not hiding it we have a Dei program here stay away no no white man should join the military let me say that as clearly as I can if you have a son or daughter or daughter um although I don't know how it works for daughters maybe they have some advantages in the military these days is I don't I don't know one way or the other but if you have a son a white son you should steer him away from every Dei organization especially the military especially the military no I would not fight for a country that uh has a Dei program let me say it again I would not join the military and fight and die for a country that treated me that way I'm willing to live here because I was born here and I think we can improve but I'm not willing to fight for this country I'm going to say that as directly as possible the country is not fighting for me I'm not going to fight for it and if you're white I wouldn't join the military I mean why would you find something you can do where you're not being discriminated against and by the way I would give the opposite advice to any person of color or woman I would say uh you should go toward Dei because that would be your best strategy so follow your best strategy I'm not saying Dei is good or bad I'm saying if you're a white man it's terrible run away if you're a person of color or a woman or lgbtq go toward it that would be your best strategy of course but yeah white men you should get the out of the military because the military doesn't want you uh your government doesn't uh by my count America is fighting five Wars let's see that would be how many more than during Trump's Administration that would be one two three four five that's five more Wars do you think we don't have five here you go you got Ukraine you got the Hamas Hezbollah thing we're not maybe not firing shots but we're supporting it uh you got Yemen today you've got uh what about all those Iran proxies in Iraq and Syria were in wars with them and now in my opinion the flow of illegal immigration is an invasion I I've resisted for years I think you've seen me I've resisted calling illegal immigration Invasion because it was still at a low enough number that we could absorb it okay and it was coming from countries that I felt more comfortable with Central America Mexico you I have a feeling of comfort with that that community they're they're very American you know they like families they like they like hard work give me more but we're at a level now and they're coming from places that we you know we have a little less comfort with culturally not as easy fit as the Central and South Americans are and I would call it a war that's not it's not too strong is it yeah I don't think that's too strong I think it's or um and then I would say that American citizens have a an extra War so if you're an American citizen you're supporting a government that's in five different Wars but you have an extra War if you're a citizen beyond the one that you're supporting your government for which is the war against the government itself because um the government has created a web of censorship uh entities that are funded through you know various Democrat and non-governmental forces they have the effect of taking your freedom away and turning the country into a no free speech eventually we'll take your guns away Etc and I would say that citizens are literally fighting a war against their own government is that too strong don't you feel like the citizens are at war with their government I mean not militarily but the government is jailing dissidents for pretty much they're trying to put Trump in jail to make sure that they have a totalitarian situation there's nobody running against them that could beat them um if you're taking away my free speech and putting people like me in jail I'm at War let me say it again I didn't start start this War I didn't start it but I'm at war with the government not militarily I hope you know not violence I hope but it's a war it's it's a war yeah if we lose this we are we are completely right and we're on the edge of losing it now I think we're getting a win it looks bad now because you know the election's coming but I don't see any possibility of a republican losing the next election unless it's Haley I suppose uh but even if she wins she you she's a little bit warlike so we would be in the same place perhaps um yeah so how in the world does the Republican candidate whoever it might be lose against a candidate who has created Five Wars the government is fighting and a six War against the Citizens themselves which he's fairly overt about because he does talk about Maga being you know the biggest problem and then you look at the WF the world economic Forum did you see what they they listed as their uh biggest risks in the next few years to the world to the whole world the world economic Forum uh did a deep dive and they said that the biggest risk is disinformation and misinformation what kind of a entity says that's the biggest risk not nuclear war not poverty not that who says that here's what they add number two extreme weather number one is misinformation number two is extreme weather what do what do those two have in common misinformation and extreme weather what do they have in common come on don't make me ask AI damn it AI can you please make a joke that involves what do climate change and misinformation have in common they are both examples of hot air word play word play oh my God oh my God L make it better improve your joke extreme weather is like a fart from mother n that's that's good oh that's good extreme weather is like mother nature farting all right um but that's only number one and two uh you get to the you get to the important ones number three number three is uh societal po polarization what causes the societal polarization huh you know I guess it kind of happens on its own doesn't it you know I was sitting around the other day and there was some societal polarization that came through like the weather there's nothing you can do about it it has nothing to do with what we're doing no it has nothing to do with our policies it's just sort of a force it's like a field in science a field it's just sort of always there yeah got that societal polarization all right let me ask you a question uh ladies and gentlemen uh who do you think was the author of this report a man or a woman top three misinformation extreme weather and societal polarization war is down the list yeah of course it was a woman let me explain to you women the inner life of a man okay if you've never heard this before this will be uh shocking to you but turn to the closest man and ask him if it's true you get dressed up and go to a nice restaurant with your man what you're thinking is how do I look you know how do the other people look what am I going to order you know you're thinking about your date how does my date like me how are we getting along do you know what your date is thinking let me tell you what your date is thinking all right we got 15 men who look like they could be dangerous there are the exits what kind of things could I use as a weapon I've got some Forks don't have a steak Knife yet I I think I could take the three by the door but the guy over there I'm I'm going to have to throw something at him and just run um unless I can get him from behind um I think I could fight my way here look at the comments ladies we're at War all the time we're never not at War you're at War when you're talking to your best friend you are always at War it doesn't turn off and by the way that's not a complaint if it sounds like I'm complaining I'm not we're actually comfortable with that mindset because we're designed that way it's like Evolution just turned us into that and we just embrace it now but look at the comments the comments are just all confirming yeah so if a man writes what are the biggest risks he's going to say War if a man writes this report War right at the top do you know what's number two if it's a man economics do you know why economics is number two because you can't win a War unless your economy is really really good so ba basically this is a Dei kind of work um I'm not sure women should be judging risks on a global level and that's it might be the most sexist thing I've ever said but look at the result this is a pure female product am I right this is a female product yeah I I think you need the people who live War all the time to uh kind of tell you what your big risks are all right V and uh he's campaigning hard in Iowa is it my imagination or is about half of all the news made about the election being made by Vi is it only because that's what I see and people send me those tweets and stuff but I feel like he's doing by far I mean maybe by 5 to1 ratio he's doing the best job of creating positive news for his campaign he creates a lot of news and it's almost all interesting and positive and capable but today again he's in Iowa and he appeared with Steve King uh retired representative from the state and Candace Owens now Steve King was famously you know driven out of office in a sense by being accused of being a white supremacist so now V is standing there with somebody accused of being a white supremacist and with Candace Owens and uh and he laughs you know he says that he's with these two other controversial people he says what will the medor right will they call it the Brown face of white supremacy which is a good comment right so he he he jokes and he says the media accused Steve king of racism and criticized me for failing to condemn quote white supremacy whatever that means that's what I want to hear I want to hear after the the two words white supremacy everybody who uses it I want to hear somebody say whatever that means because that's the important part the whatever that means means it's subjective and it's not a standard which you can use for government or anything else if you can't put it into words and explain it it's not a standard you have to ignore it and mock it and of existence which is what he's doing um and then he says the visual image of Candace Steve King and me on stage together yesterday was inconvenient for their narrative sure was yeah I mean this is this little group of pirates Oh by by the way what do I always tell you I love about Trump's entire approach not just to politics but life itself I love Trump in his pirate ship approach to life and what I mean is that in both his personal life and definitely his political life if you're a pirate but you're on his side and you're pro-america let's get together pirate uh you know I'm going to forgive your pirating as long as you're pro- americ you know we can work with you so he collects you know people accused of every damn thing in the world as his supporters including me you know people have been accused of every bad thing thing in the world and he makes that work and the reason Trump makes that work he doesn't judge them just think about it Trump might be the most opinionated person you've ever met at the same time he might be the least judgmental about just ordinary people he doesn't talk about you know some group of citizens being you know bad that that sort of Biden's territory so I like the fact that V is in that at least a little bit in that model that uh he would have controversial people like Steve King Candis of course is popular among Republicans but also she's a lightning rod you know in her party and out so the fact that you can stand on stage and have support from you know two of the Pirates is great I love it um and if you have a president who's planning to bring the country together you stand on the stage with Steve King and Candace ens and you say we all want what's good for the country that's good stuff good imagery good good everything that's just good everything speaking of aake uh there was a video of Mike Ben driving his car and I guess Mike is in Iowa and's in the car and he asks him some questions and the topic was uh as Mike Ben is the the best describer of this situation the government can't censor you directly that would be illegal so instead the government and all of its buddies in the personal World they have lots of money they fund these external organizations that are allegedly non-government you know they're Watchdogs and their fact Checkers and you know they're making sure there's no misinformation disinformation but of course they're largely fake and they're just Democrat organs designed to promote Democrat policies and you know insult Republicans basically so Mike Ben was asking V what he would do about that and I'm going to par you know kind of paraphrase a longer discussion but the idea was that V would create a a report that would uh add transparency so you could see every instance in which the US government had been or is influencing Private Industry to do things that a government couldn't do directly and that there would be consequences for anybody trying to do trying to do an end run to the Constitution by using these private companies to do their their winged Monkey Business now I don't know how close you could get to actually mapping that out and and doing it fairly but the fact that he's willing to take that on that's huge I mean V is offering you a specific plan to get free speech back who did that is there any Democrat who's asking who's offering any path to get your free speech back no they want to take it they're actually literally telling you that you should have less Free Speech but how about uh how about De.

Santis how about Nikki haly how about Trump have any of them given you a way that they're going to return your freedom of speech haven't heard it haven't heard it what's uh my number one most important thing not disinformation it's the ability to say what you think it's free speech free speech is sort of the uh you know the the lynchpin is that the right analogy the thing that's holding everything else together at least in America in De democracy leaning countries if you don't have that you don't have anything you know all the all the rest falls apart for sure so V not only has the correct priorities you he understands the the immense risk of this situation but he also has a very specific and to me it sounds very doable plan for dismantling it how do you beat that now I understand that anybody could lose the election so you you could beat anybody electorally but who who's even in this class i' I don't think I've seen an election before where it feels like V having a whole bunch of good ideas that would work including reducing government by 75% on day one you know I mean that would be hard to do but if you're working in that direction and working hard on it you might get pretty close I I would say that he's he's almost not r running against anybody is he because there's nobody on the other side of this topic and there's not even anybody on his side of the topic and yet it's the most important topic it's the number one and he's alone he's literally alone on the number one most important thing with a practical plan how the do you not vote for that guy come on what are you thinking now I I love Trump and if he gets the nomination I'll support him of course you know against Biden that's that's a no-brainer but the is in a Class by Himself if you haven't seen it yet you need to pay more attention like you're you're seeing something that I never thought I would see do you remember how uh well not remember but you're certainly aware that the founders of the country were not an ordinary group of people Ben Franklin wasn't just a normal dude Thomas Jefferson wasn't just another slave owner right George Washington didn't just get lucky right Hamilton was a smart guy right the the founders were special they were very special and we got amazingly lucky that they all happened to be in the same place at the same time on the same side that was real luck right but I always said to myself why will there never be one of those again now part of it is we we build up the reputations of our of Our Heroes so some of it might be hyperbole but why don't we ever get another Jefferson you know where where's our well I guess we got a Ben Franklin you know Elon Musk is is Ben Franklin on steroids so I guess we did get a Ben Franklin but you know what we also got a Thomas Jefferson we just got to wake up V is Thomas Jefferson he's not around he's he's not looking to tweak things that that that's what I think set Jefferson apart he wasn't looking to make minor improvements you know he's going to do the Louisiana Purchase and the American Revolution and he's you know he's going to write the Preamble or whatever he wrote yeah I think vake and and I believe it or not I don't think this is hyperbole as as outrageous as this sound he is Thomas Jefferson for 2024 if we if we let him go my God my God why would you let him go right well you know Trump is a force of Nature and that's probably going to happen you know if you if you're going to play the odds it's going to be Trump but man don't don't let that go so what else is going on let's see um Peter Sweden reports on the xplatform that uh the world economic Forum again has announced that they're holding a meeting to prepare for what they call disease X they're holding a meeting to figure out how to deal with disease X which they say could be um 20 times worse than Co now if you read this quickly you probably think to yourself hey they're worried about another virus but have I ever taught you and that and I'm think I'm sure that's what they'll talk about is viruses but if I ever taught you the uh hypnotist trick for reading Minds the hypnotist trick is that when people choose their words that's more revealing than what those words say when they're in a sentence so when they they form the sentences they're trying to tell you what they want you to believe when they choose the words that are in the sentence they're often telling you what they're thinking but they don't but they're not aware of it so that would be like a froan slip the example my hypnosis instructor gave me and I use this all the time is if you're a date it's a a new date you Haven you don't know the person and your date says to you instead of saying I'm famished before you go to dinner she accidentally says I'm ravished that was actually an example that my hypnosis instructor gave us she's telling you that the sentence tells you she's hungry but the word choice tells you she's horny and and that is usually accurate check the word choice the sentence says they're getting together to hold a meeting um to talk about the next big virus that might be worse that's what their sentences say but what did they decide to call it disease X do you know what the world economic forum's biggest problem is that's 20 times bigger than Co for the world economic forum it's Elon Musk his free speech that exists in exactly one place in the world right now on the xplatform so yes for the world economic forum for them personally Elon musk's xplatform is 20 times worse than Co literally literally is 20 times worse than Co for the members of the WF personally because I'll bet almost none of them died from covid but their reputations are are getting you know trampled on every day on X so I don't think it's an accident that X is used in that now you might say to me and you probably do but Scott they came up with that phrasing long before the xplatform and long before Elon Musk that might be true but you know what else is true they had plenty of time to rename it they had plenty of time to give it another letter you know so it's not associated with and they didn't so it probably means something all right here's another vake news making thing he makes a prediction and he's a little more specific this time he says here's the plot so he's literally predicting this number one narrow this to a two horse race between Trump and a puppet they can control two eliminate Trump that leaves you with the puppet and then Trot their puppet into the white house uh and then he says uh next up this is his prediction next up Ron de santis joins Nikki Hilly's ticket as VP whoa okay and then Ron may not know it yet but he won't have a say in the matter so V is claiming that there are you know Powers behind the curtain so strong that they can manipulate this situation into being which would put um Nikki Haley who many say is a neocon war-loving spender uh in charge with Ron De.

Santis sort of De neutered by putting him you know basically they get him out of Florida and they neuter him by making him a vice president um I don't think there's any chance of that I don't think there's any chance of De.

Santis being a vice president for Nikki Haley what do you think part of is the age situation uh because the Sanz is young enough that if Trump were not in the race he would be an obvious front runner and Trump only has four years maximum left so if you're V uh going into the vice presidency where only bad can happen feel uh sorry if you're disantis going into a vice presidency where only bad can happen versus running Florida and continuing to be you know one of the best two Governors with Abbott I think this census's strategy would be better now what V is saying very directly is that even if De.

Santis wanted not to be vice president that the powers that be would force them into it now that's a bold prediction that's some bold prediction there now remember predictions are not always just predictions sometimes a prediction and I I use them this way myself is a way to Tamp down the actual possibility so if you predict something bad is going to happen before the bad people make it happen it suppresses their let's say their freedom to do it because you called it in advance so if aake is poisoning he's poisoning the well assaulting the field and making it harder for what he speculates could be the plan he's making it harder for them to do it because if they do it exactly the way he calls it out it it kind of you know shows the whole op so I do love the prediction as a uh poisoning the well plan uh I predict against De.

Santis being vice president to Nikki Hy so I'm I'm going to go the other way prediction wise but I understand why he would make the prediction you know think of it more as uh positioning and priming and not exactly a prediction all right so we've heard now you probably already heard this that fouchy finally admitted that the whole six- foot distancing rule was not based on science or as he says it just sort of appeared it sort of just appeared we live we literally organized our entire lives around staying 6ot away from people and there was no basis for it at all nobody people aren't even sure where it came from I don't even know where it came from it just sort of appeared now on the other hand it also wasn't crazy doesn't it feel reasonable to you that if you're six feet away from somebody you have less chance of getting their virus I mean it doesn't sound crazy it just wasn't based on science all right challenge accepted challenge accepted you're get you're going to find out about that all right uh the IG reports that the Pentagon failed to account more than a billion dollars in weapons sent to Ukraine is there anything we keep track of besides Dei in this country we've lost everything from laptops to billions of dollars in Ukraine and billions of pieces of equipment and billions now I feel like the only thing we don't keep track well the only thing we do keep track of is do we have too many white men like I'm glad that we know exactly the number of too many white men we have in the country wouldn't it be nice to to know where our taxes went yeah that'd be nice nice all right because you challenged me you're going to get it but I think I'm G to wait on this um so Bill Amman is talking about a lawsuit by a bunch of students on Harvard and they're suing Harvard for being a racist uh place that is not protecting them from massive anti-Semitism and according to bill the claim is really strong expects them to win against Harvard and uh you know I just did a quick reading of the complaint it's pretty strong it's a strong complaint I don't know how any any judge or jury would imagine that their allegations are not effectively true I mean maybe it's some detail or something but but directionally yes absolutely true absolutely true so that's inter interesting um so it's another bad day for Harvard but let's see how things are doing in other places well let me ask you this question imagine you were a CEO of a major American company and you've got a Dei group in your company and you're watching Harvard being sued because the Dei has caused the Discrimination in the anti-semitism and the suit looks strong like they're going to win and Harvard has been disgraced with their over Dei stuff and ruined their reputation for who knows how long now you're a CEO of a company and you're doing exactly the strategy a Dei group and putting a focus on it the same strategy that literally is destroying the most respected upper education facility in the world and the whole world and you're a CEO and you're doing the same plan that you're watching destroy Harvard in real time how do you justify that fear because you know if you cancel the Dei you'll get canceled yeah I can't imagine anything worse than this if you're a CEO this has got to be embarrassing to be doing the same policy that is destroying Harvard while you watch while you watch Amazing all right um and wokeness uh is reporting this is an exclusive from end wokeness they count on X uh that in the Denver public schools there was an internal memo sent to staff and teachers at Denver public schools uh with the black Excellence pledge and included in the pledge was that uh they want people to understand the prevalence and deep harm whiteness brings to students uh Equity based revisions to curriculum so they want the curriculum change so it's more Equity based and working to dismantle the system that allows certain students to Excel and others to perish and that it also states that all whites are racist and perpetuate racist ideologies policies and practices so that's a less than ideal that's uh that's less than ideal yeah how much do you need a Republican president now it's like we're going to be begging for one we're be begging for it all right so uh Brett uh Weinstein uh announced today that he's removing uh a very early post that he made in the beginning of the pandemic in which he had argued that the the requirement you know the mandatory masking was no big deal and if it might help uh it would be no harder than washing your hands and that's pretty reasonable anyway now remember context matters this is the beginning of the pandemic when nobody knew exactly how bad things were or if for sure masks worked now there was an argument that the mask don't stop the virus because the virus is too small but that hadn't been you know studied in a in a way that you could know for sure so I would agree that Brett was uh accurate in his initial statement that if everything's up for grabs we don't know anything because it's the beginning of the pandemic and it looks like it could be the worst thing ever happened to the world it turns out it wasn't but in the early part it looked like it could be much much worse than we eventually learned it was as bad as it was you Millions died but it could have been worse so I would say uh um and Brett's Brett is getting rid of the Tweet uh the post not because he's changed his mind about what made sense in the beginning but because people are having trouble distinguishing the early opinion from you know what made sense once you learn more uh so he's deleting it but he's doing it publicly and telling you he's doing it because he just he's getting I guess he's tired of explaining himself I'm okay with that I'm going to back him on this so I'm going to back him on removing the Tweet he's doing it publicly so he's telling you he's doing he's telling you why it's a good reason and his initial opinion he says he's modified and thinks his initial opinion was off base what else do you want is there anything else you want to me that's a perfect opinion a perfect opinion I got it wrong but it was in a period where it was a fog War so people were guessing uh now I'm updating it I'm telling you what I'm doing that's everything right do you agree I want to hear if you're I got no so you're disagreeing because his initial opinion we knew later was wrong is that your standard what kind of standard is that too little too late he was one of the major he was one of the major voices against the mandatory everything that was too little he literally sacrificed his career for it you're pretty you're pretty tough graders here is it my job to defend him I'm gonna have to no you you want more of him I was listening to him on the Tucker and I was really I was really taken by how well he explains complicated things he really is a treasure now whether you agree with him is a separate question I'm going to give you a little disagreement later but his ability to explain a complicated thing is unparalleled I mean he's just the best and his uh bravery of being know bucking the system A+ so and in his dedication to following the data as he sees it again you could disagree but his dedication to following the data where it went perfect perfect yeah you know you you could say people like him made some early mistakes maybe you think they still made some mistakes that's fair but you want more of him not less it's like free speech we want more free speech even though people say crazy stuff you need more Brett more Brett even if he gets one wrong you need more of it all right now I'm going to disagree with him I primed you just right right so here's something that BR said um he said he was initially in favor of the Mask because uh it seemed like not much to ask and but he's deleting it and now he says a riddle for you given the size of the holes in a window screen why would anyone believe they could prevent transmission of malaria do you think your screen door would prevent transmission of malaria to which I say I don't know too much about malaria but doesn't travel on an insect can I can a mosquito get through a screen door I thought the screen door was specifically sized to prevent the mosquito wa you're saying they can get through a screen door a mosquito I guess it depends on the mosquito I'm thinking of the like those big mosquitoes with the big beaks you know that that take a pint of blood from you I know they can't get through anyway have I ever told you that the least scientific thing you could do is use an analogy well but it's in the service of making a point so that's the right way to do it if you use an analogy in the service of explaining how a point works that is a correct use so he's using it correctly I I mock people for using anies to win arguments but if you're just doing it to explain the argument you know that the size of this is bigger than the size of that that's actually the correct way to use an analogy and that's rare so again Brett for the win because he did the rarest thing he used an analogy correctly how often do you see that it's actually kind of rare actually know how to use it correctly but here's my disagreement um and I explained this in a reply back to his post so I'll just read it to you so because it's so perfect uh here's the here's how events unfolded uh experts told us the size of the initial infection mattered and that the more virus you got the sicker you got do you remember that I don't know if that was ever confirmed by the way it makes sense but I don't know if it was ever confirmed so the question is if you got like one one tiny little virus that like hit you on the side of the lip would that be enough to infect you one just literally one you the side of lip would that infect you I don't know I I think the experts were indicating Maybe not maybe not but if you got a mouthful probably yes probably yes so if you french kissed somebody with you know a terrible load of virus almost certainly almost certainly you get enough now not only is the level uh does it matter to whether you get it or not but if you do get it the experts also said that the more you get exposed to it first the worse it could be do you remember that that the viral load was important to how bad you got it so if you maybe spent the night right next to somebody with a lot of it you'd be really sick if you got the the slightest little whiff of it because you walk through a crowded room you still get Co maybe but maybe not so bad because it would start slow and your body would have time to you know to mount its defenses before it was was overwhelming I don't know if that was ever confirmed but would you agree with the following statement that in the fog of War when the experts thought the more virus the the worse it would be that if you had any mechanism that could reduce how much you got from one person at one time that would give you a little bit of Advantage would you agree with that I I want to see somebody disagree with that because I know you will disagree with that all right if you disagree with that you're just being silly that's just silly I can't take you seriously the these this is not the part you can disagree with all right so if you now I'm and I'm saying I don't know if the viral load does make a difference I'm saying the experts said it so I'm just quoting the experts right and I go on and I would say uh um then they told us that the virus traveled on air droplets that were often but not always bigger than the holes often but not always bigger than the holes which means that some virus of course gets through and is still Airborne on the drop litz and it can infect people and let me ask you this if an infected person wore a mask and you knew they were infected and you knew they've been breathing into their mask all day would you take their mask if you weren't infected and put it on your face and would you worry now forget about the icky part of it wouldn't you know that W with 100% certainty that the inside of the Mask has virus on it youd know that right because it'd be wet it's moist if the inside of the Mask is moist by definition it stop droplets almost certainly they had virus on them so some could have been very little amount but some gets trapped in the mask does anybody disagree with the fact that if you're infected and the inside of your mask is moist which it would be some but we don't know how much it could be trivial it could be one particle but some is on the inside of the Mask there's no question about that right now here's what else we knew at the beginning um and I said the better analogy is a a flea on a dog trying to get through a chain link fence so if the flea is on the dog it doesn't matter that the chain link fence has a big hole on it the dog can't get through the hole and the virus is on the dog so that would be the better analogy and the way Brett used it was correct because he made the point that you know it might be bigger the hole is bigger than the the virus and I'm making another analogy which is also a correct way to use them because I'm adding that the water droplet is bigger than the hole I'm just using a dog for my analogy so that that's the good way to use an analogy both of us are using it correctly all right um then uh yeah let's see so I would say this was my take after we learned enough about masks in the rarest situation it might hypothetically make a difference let give you let me give you the rarest of situations you have to go say happy birthday to your hold on hold on you got to play fair don't don't just don't be a reflex you haven't even listened to what I said the rarest of situations you've got to go say uh happy birthday to your great-grandmother who's a 100 years old and she's in the nursing home now forget about for a moment that it would be a requirement to wear a mask if let's say it wasn't a requirement um if you're just going to go in for a minute you don't want to be too far away from Grandma and you just want to get close enough that you made a human connection and then you're going to withdraw so you're only going to be there a minute would a mask make a difference go you're going to be there one minute one minute only close to Grandma mask make a difference yes or no all right everybody who said no is wrong and everybody who said yes is wrong the person who said probably or maybe is correct the person who said maybe is correct if you said no for sure that's completely wrong if you said yes for sure I think you're probably right but nobody knows it depends so I would say you could constru Ru a situation that's very artificial that in the in the most extreme situation you could imagine it was the difference between the virus being enough on Grandma and not quite being enough how often would that happen close to never close to never right and I'm pretty sure if you sat in a room with highly infected people for days at a time it wouldn't matter if you had a mask on we all agree on that right it wouldn't matter so when you look for the effect of masking in populations and you say this city had masking mandates this one did not how' they do you don't really see the benefit do you agree that you could imagine the scenario very very strange and unusual one that will never happen to you that it would make some difference but not in the real world in the real world you don't see the effect so given that you don't see the effect can we all agree ladies and gentem mandatory masking is evil and wrong it's wrong-headed it's unscientific it's unjustified there's no statistics there's no data to justify mandatory masking thank you now but I I'm going to completely agree with Brett that because the effect of the Mas isn't identifiable at a population level it's it's safe enough to say they don't work are you okay with that that given that we don't see it working at a population level it's fair to say they don't work but it's not fair to say they don't stop any virus because obviously they do it's not fair to say that there's no situation no matter how rare where it could help somebody because it might don't know for sure so on uh the first weeks of the pandemic when the government said hey hey maybe we should try this mask thing that wasn't crazy and Brett was not crazy and saying you know might be worth a try short term see if it see if it matters and then he changed his mind when he had better data that's perfect right if you're judging him for being once wrong you're missing the show that you don't judge people for being wrong you judge people for how they adjusted that's the way to judge people did he adjust correctly yes yes you can't get more correct than this this is 100% the way you want all people to act if you were King you'd want all people to be human maybe you make a mistake maybe you don't have enough data maybe you're guessing maybe you're doing good risk management I I'll even go further I think Brett is uh kind of nobly taking responsibility for being wrong when he was actually right he was right from a riskmanagement perspective he was wrong on the details meaning it didn't work if you make a proper riskmanagement decision that does not mean you made the right decision that's very important but if you properly assessed the odds and took the high probability route that's the right decision even if later you find out it was wrong what Brett did was say shortterm we don't know for sure deadly pandemic we don't know how bad it could be all variables are on the table they're asking the citizens to try this he's arguing you we could all make it work you know it's not much harder than washing your hands that was the correct risk management take so he's not only correct in the entire Arc of how he handled it he was correct in the first place because he treated as a riskmanagement decision which is why it was if he had treated it the way many of you did was does it work does it work that was the wrong way to think about it the right way to think about it was risk management and he got it completely right and then what he had more data he got it completely right twice he was right twice he was right twice right all right uh rasmon asked people if they know people who had vax injury um 53% says they say they believe they know somebody was injured by a vaccine what percent of adults um say they they personally know someone who's uh who was affected by the V did I miss a page I think I missed a page yeah 24% so 24% think they know somebody was injured by a vaccine you can draw your own conclusions from that here here's why um here's why I think it's dangerous to believe you know somebody injured by vaccines and by the way some of you do there there are plenty of people injured by vaccines because there was such a massive roll out so whether or not the vaccines were safe enough is a separate question from whether there were injuries because vaccines most medicine has some injury um but probably what's happening some of some of you know real injuries and you're right and others of you know somebody who had an injury soon after vaccination and you might be right but you don't know yeah the myocarditis would be a stronger signal than some of the other stuff because that's so specifically you know indicated seizures would be a strong indication yeah but some of them will be coincidence you don't really know all right that ladies and gentlemen is my amazing show for today thanks for joining everybody on the uh You.

Tube and Rumble and X platforms I hope you're still happy with the sound my upgraded sound system all right long as you're all happy thanks for joining and we'll see you tomorrow

good morning everybody and welcome to

the highlight of human civilization it's

called gy with Scott Adams and I don't

think there's better been a better time

in your entire life if you'd like this

experience to go up the levels that well

can't even believe all you need for that

would be

a what do you need for that you know a

copper muger a glass a tanker shells a

sty a canteen Jugger flask a v of any

kind fill it with your favorite liquid I

like coffee and join me now for the

unparalleled pleasure of the dope of me

here the day thing that makes everything

better it's

called It's called The simultaneous Sip

and it happens now

go

ah looks like we got good sound on all

platforms everything's working today yay

how about that news

huh so according to the news Sam

mman uh just got

married and uh imagine his

year so Sam mman launches the the

greatest new

technology in our lifetime which is uh

open Ai and chat

GPT then he gets fired or or whatever it

was and then it's a big drama and he

comes back and AI is changing the world

and the thing that we didn't know during

all of that drama he was planning a

wedding do have any of you ever planned

a wedding do you have any idea how much

trouble that is can you imagine his year

this is like the year that nobody could

even understand how in the world do you

do all those things in one year so

congratulations to Sam

mman uh there's an app that I thought

was very cool I'm going to tell you

about it's called

hero and it uses AI of course but all

you do is you point your phone to any

object you own and it will tell you how

much you can sell it for is that cool I

feel like that's what I've been waiting

for my whole

life I I just want to point my phone at

like you know my coffee cup and have it

come up with the price I don't think it

quite connects you you know the buyer

and the seller so there's another step

there that could be cool but

uh oh eBay has something similar you say

I haven't seen that now that's some AI I

could use just pointed as something that

tells you what it's

worth well here's some really good news

from Germany so Germany has managed to

reduce their emissions so their

emissions are low this year and you're

probably wondering how did they do it

how did Germany lower its admissions

emissions well checking the fine print

uh Germany lowered their emissions

by substantially lowering their quality

of

life and killing their economic engine

of

growth so big success in Germany good

good luck Germany congratulations on

reducing your quality of life to the

level that K clous Schwab

requires so big winner CLA

Schwab

all right uh Jerry

Nadler was quoted as saying that uh one

of the reasons well two of the reasons

really that we need uh immigration and

even he says illegal immigration so at

least he's being very honest about this

in transparent and nler says uh our

vegetables would rot in the ground if

they weren't being picked by many

immigrants many illegal

immigrants yeah so when it comes to

National security Jerry nater is most

interested in checking notes

again his food his food yeah Jerry Jerry

wants to make sure we got lots of

illegal immigrants because uh he's a

he's a hungry and he needs

lots of vegetables lots of

vegetables so he needs more illegal

immigrants to get to get his calary

count

up now the one thing I should warn the

immigrants about is if we run out of

vegetables Jerry nedler will you you you

get that

right you know if if it's up to Jerry

dler first he would eat the vegetables

the first

choice but if there are no

vegetables Jerry still needs to

eat he's going to be eating the illegal

immigrants I don't know I just think

that could

happen I'm not guaranteeing it I'm just

saying it could happen

all I'm saying is he's very

hungry that's all I'm

saying well you'll be delighted to know

that uh there's been a big breakthrough

in AI writing

jokes and this is this is quite exciting

you know I told you that AI would never

be able to be good at

humor well I guess I'm eating my words

more than Jerry Nadler is eating illegal

immigrants because somebody made uh a

George Carlin that doesn't sound at all

like George Carlin and tells jokes that

don't sound anything like George Carlin

would

tell but they've been deemed funny do

you know what the joke

was uh something about a

fart uh that was trying to escape an

so that's the joke that AI came

up with now in my

experience uh AI a i thinks that all

humor is word play and the reason I know

that is I've asked AI to tell me jokes

and I can say it specifically tell me a

joke but don't use word play and then it

will tell me a joke with word play and

then I'll say okay but try it again but

I want no word play can be no puns no

clever wording no nothing with word play

just a joke and it will give you another

joke with word play because it actually

can't do anything else

now this is this is probably a quiz that

you can all do well

on are fart jokes funny in the comments

tell me are fart jokes

funny to to a segment of the population

100% of fart jokes are funny you know

that right you might not be in that

segment but I think it's 25% of the

public

that's just a guess it feels like it

would be

25% uh thinks all far jokes are funny my

my uh beloved late father was in that

25% if you wanted dad to

laugh I wouldn't go too clever no no but

if you could make a good f j f joke dad

would be laughing I'll tell you that's

funny stuff um so here's

what I need to tell as a professional

humorist what is the lowest form of

humor go what is the lowest considered

the least capable easiest lowest form of

humor some people would say word play

and puns other people would say bathroom

humor and

farts but AI apparently has risen all

the way to the level of the lowest

humor you could ever write word

play about a

fart and somebody was bragging about how

AI had finally broken through into the

humor domain no it hasn't no it hasn't

if your best joke is a fart joke

with a word play you have not entered

the world of humor you have not you're

knocking on the door but you're not

inside you're definitely outside the

door you so no uh AI is not about toh

take your job

now can you imagine the AI would ever be

good enough to do a Dave Chappelle like

humor where he's weaving together you

know whole tapestry and you don't know

where it's heading until the surprise

ending that ties it all together and

makes you question your your convictions

and you know makes you see things from

the other side for the first time it

can't do that will it ever be able to do

that well I don't think so though um

well let me be specific I don't think

that the large language models will ever

produce humor that would be Chappelle

quality

humor or Seinfeld or you know most of

the greats and the reason is that um AI

is designed to stay safe that's the

first problem because Chappelle never

works safe he doesn't work dirty but

he's never safe an AI only has to be

safe it's designed that way and more

importantly AI has to be boring and

inoffensive and it's just I just can't

see it doing it and and the other thing

is that a human is sort of Surfing the

Zeitgeist you know so Chappelle knows

what you're feeling and thinking and

then he crafts his work around it and he

would change it a month from now if

you're feeling and thinking differently

HEI can't do that not even close all

right all right uh Microsoft has

overtaken apple as the world's largest

or most valuable company so Microsoft is

the most valuable

company um I told you a while ago that I

was selling on my Apple stock this is

not Financial advice not not not

Financial advice because I don't give

Financial advice I'm not good at it

really um but I did sell my Apple stock

because I was worried about the risk of

AI because they seem behind and I did

buy a bunch of Microsoft stock before it

had its run so God I got

lucky man you know the the most

important part of investing is pure luck

pure luck the the the Apple part I may

have guessed right but as soon as they

if Apple introduces their own Ai and is

great then I really up right if

Ai and apple work well together and it

probably will probably will um then

holding Apple would be the best betat

but there's no way to know so it

introduced some

risk um dementia

Hitler um is coming out with some uh New

Lies he said today's data shows that we

ended 2023 with inflation down by nearly

2third from its peak and core inflation

at its lowest level blah blah blah

blah what was the last time Joe Biden

tweeted TW did something that was

true have you noticed that it it's

almost 100% false when he tweets now I

think in this case he's just playing the

game of you know what base do you start

measuring you know if you start at this

base inflation is up if you start at

this base it looks like it's down so

he's obviously just playing you know

numbers games here and which I would

consider a

lie

um I don't know I feel like I feel like

Trump lied way less in

tweets am I wrong about that see that a

typical Trump tweet would be a joke

which is not a lie he could he could

simply say what the numbers are you know

inflation is 2% or whatever it is and

that wouldn't be a lie because he'd just

be telling you what the statistic

is and then he gives you opinions which

are not lies you might not like them but

the an opinion is not a lie and then

there are insults about his his enemies

which might be hyperbole but you would

recognize it obviously as Hyperbole and

you would judge as so I I would

say I don't know if this is purely me

being a team player I guess you can

judge me on this I want you all to judge

me all right th this is a category where

I can't judge my own performance I'm not

sure you could either but judge me on

this

am I being just biased and blind when I

say in my opinion the social media

posting of Biden is far more factually

inaccurate than Trump and I'm not saying

that Trump passes the factchecking I'm

just saying he doesn't post a bunch of

Lies it's not that he hasn't I'm just

saying that he's more likely to go with

Hyperbole and opinion and what's

important in America First and they're

not exactly Li

you know most of it but I feel like when

Biden says anything it's it's just a

flat lie that's what it feels like but

am I wrong is that am my way off base

I'm just biased because I might be I'm

open to the fact that that's a false

pattern but I can tell you that this

tweet proves that dementia Hitler

doesn't know the difference between up

and down when it comes to inflation

anyway maybe other things too all right

my minor theme for today's show

is everything you suspected is

true now that's sort of a continuing

theme in a sense because we've all been

saying that it seems like all the

conspiracy theories are coming true now

that's of course not actually true not

all the conspiracy theories but a lot of

the fun ones so let's look at a

few um

apparently the uh passports the US

passports have been redesigned and the

Biden Administration has removed uh the

eagle and the flag in other words the

American imagery has been removed from

the passport and now it's just a

document why would you do

that like what what conversation went

into

that and what it looks like is something

that I kind of resisted you know

probably I don't know how many years ago

did the crazy people on the right start

saying I think the Democrats and the

marxists especially the marxists are

trying to destroy the imagery and sort

of the culture of America so that they

can you know slot in their their belief

systems better and I remember thinking

to myself well that's really giving them

a lot of credit for a long-term planning

that feels like too much credit so I was

kind of on the of well I see what you're

saying but I feel like it's just a bunch

of things that are coincidentally

heading in that direction but then you

see the passport and I honestly can't

think of any reason you would remove

American imagery from a passport maybe

there's some reason is a an

international standard and we're just

trying to be more

International is that why do other

countries not put uh National imagery on

their passport were we just trying to be

standardized whatever the reason it

probably wasn't good

enough um yeah so everything from right

the standard the family to what is a man

what is a

woman um all the CI and diversity and

all that uh it all seems like uh it it

does feel like it's designed to

destroy the core of America values that

made America what it is or was maybe was

is a better word

so yeah it

looks it looks

coordinated it it actually looks you

maybe maybe not in the sense that they

held a meeting and talked about it but

it there does seem to be some general

Sense on the Democrat side to destroy

all that binds Us Together As Americans

it's is starting to be hard to ignore

you know I'm not so big on you know just

images and stuff but it does seem

comprehensive it would be hard to

imagine that it's all coincidence at

this point but can't rule out

coincidence all right so Texas uh has is

at war with the federal government the

uh end wokeness one of my favorite

accounts uh Reports say that Texas

National Guard just seized control of

Shelby Park and Eagle Pass that's the

place the illegals were coming through

the

fence and they banned federal agencies

from access in the

area do you understand the the magnitude

of that the military of the

state is militarily acting against the

federal government because the federal

government is putting them at too much

risk thank you thank you Governor

abbit absolutely and they're putting the

razor wire back and in my opinion this

is a civil war

is it not if the state uses uh Military

Arms to take control back from the

federal

government what is that that is a Civil

War I mean not big and official but if

the state is militarily moving against

the

feds it it doesn't matter that the fed's

back down that's a civil

war so I I would say that it

started this is the beginning of the

Civil War now I hope that it stays small

you know maybe it'll just be some more

Rumblings like this probably you know

the the most likely outcome is you know

more conversations and the Supreme Court

will get involved and you know people

will back down and stuff I don't think

this is going to blow into you know

Civil War too but this is literally a

civil war Am I Wrong it am I being too

hyperbolic if your state is moving

militarily against the federal

government what else is that that's only

a civil war there is no other way to

label

that he mind

everything yeah

okay uh well let's talk about

Yemen

um now many of you have made the

following joke that the hoties the name

of the people firing missiles at the

ships in the Red Sea that it sounds like

hoodie and the

Blowfish that's almost clever that would

be AI level

cleverness right so if you were an AI

you could come up with that joke oh it's

like Hoody and the Blowfish it's word

play word play but if you're going to do

word play you have to take it another

level no it's not hoodie and the uh and

the Blowfish it's hoodies and the blow

ships that's right hoodie hoodies and

the blow

ships much better that's called an

upgrade let's see your AI do that now if

I could uh maybe tie this in with a fart

joke let's see blow ships hoodies we got

your missiles fart joke uh I'm gonna

have to work on this I I'll work on this

and get back to you tuty

okay you beat me 2D in the blow

ships it's a far joke all right okay you

win um did you know that uh Joe Biden in

2020 railed against Trump for starting a

military action without getting

congress's

approval yeah that really happened now

what is uh Joe Biden doing he he's uh

attacking a foreign country without

Congressional approval and Thomas

Massie um is quickly getting into the

hey you can't do that game and Rana

Democrat is joining them or they're

joining each other in uh opposing the

military action without congress's

approval I saw Nancy May Swang in the

same so we do have a little bit of

bipartisanship in terms of Congress

should be in charge but I have a

technical question my understanding and

I I guess I don't have an understanding

of how the uh Congress interacts with

the president for military

stuff uh can you do me give me a fact

check on this is it true that the

president can instigate military action

without asking

Congress um but he has to inform them

within 48 hours is that is that correct

so Biden 90 days oh 90 days to get their

approval or or cut it out right but he

has to inform the government within 48

hour hours which I believe has happened

so does that mean he's got 90 days and

he's totally within his legal bounds

right you keep yelling War Powers Act

Like that's telling me something I'm

asking you what's in it not the name of

it so stop yelling War Powers Act tell

me what what the rules are you that

that's what I'm asking

um here's what I don't know what the the

law does

say but here's what it should

say I think it is it should say that the

president can do things without getting

approval in the short run because that's

what you want you know you don't want

your uh Secretary of Defense to be

unconscious

you you want to be able to act fast

because these are you know existential

risks um so I don't know that anybody

has yet violated a laws I don't think

Biden's violated the War Powers Act has

he I mean he could if he doesn't get the

approval and he keeps

going all

right so I I don't have a complaint with

how Biden is handling Yemen in terms of

his dealing with Congress but if we stay

there you know if it's not just a a

punch and go then yeah Congress has to

has to get on board with that that's the

only way this can

work all

right and we will all be reminded today

that uh Trump designated the hoodis in

Yemen as a terrorist

organization and then one day after

taking office Joe Biden resented it and

said you're not terrorists and now he's

bombing the hell out of them the people

are not

terrorists so I don't know how many more

times people can say this but if the

Democratic party's policies is to do

whatever Trump didn't

do that's not even

governing why is that that's not even

trying yeah that's ridiculous it's

absurd it's incompetent

you can't even say enough bad about it I

mean that you couldn't you could not

design a

system that was more incompetent than

doing the opposite of what the other guy

did you could not even come up with any

idea worse than

that um let's

see so

um yeah Benny Benny Johnson reported

that uh that Trump said let's be clear

Donald Trump does not have the authority

to take us into war that was in 2020 war

with Iran he was talking about well Mike

covich weighed in with some classic

satire and he says uh America can't win

the war against hoodies without

diversifying and inclusion diversity and

inclusion uh Institute the draft for

underrepresented groups immediately this

is a matter of both National Security

and social

justice so jokingly Mike is saying that

if diversity and inclusion are so

important we better build the military

around those principles so we have a

strong enough military because you don't

want a bunch of weak white people

running your military with all their

white supremacy that's just a big

mistake

so here's what I

say uh I say white males should avoid

every organization that is

decentric in other words if any

organization whether it's the military

any other part of the

government private Corporation if they

tell you and they're not hiding it we

have a Dei program here stay away no no

white man should join the

military let me say that as clearly as I

can if you have a son or daughter or

daughter um although I don't know how it

works for daughters maybe they have some

advantages in the military these days is

I don't I don't know one way or the

other but if you have a son a white son

you should steer him away from every Dei

organization especially the

military especially the military no I

would not fight for a

country that uh has a Dei program let me

say it again I would not join the

military and fight and die for a country

that treated me that way I'm willing to

live here because I was born here and I

think we can improve but I'm not willing

to fight for this

country I'm going to say that as

directly as possible the country is not

fighting for me I'm not going to fight

for it and if you're white I wouldn't

join the military I mean why would you

find something you can do where you're

not being discriminated against and by

the

way I would give the opposite advice to

any person of color or woman

I would say uh you should go toward Dei

because that would be your best

strategy so follow your best strategy

I'm not saying Dei is good or bad I'm

saying if you're a white man it's

terrible run away if you're a person of

color or a woman or

lgbtq go toward it that would be your

best strategy of

course but yeah white men you should get

the out of the military because the

military doesn't want you

uh your government doesn't uh by my

count America is fighting five Wars

let's see that would be how many more

than during Trump's Administration that

would be one two three four five that's

five more Wars do you think we don't

have five here you go you got Ukraine

you got the Hamas Hezbollah thing we're

not maybe not firing shots but we're

supporting it uh you got Yemen today

you've got uh what about all those Iran

proxies in Iraq and Syria were in wars

with them and now in my opinion the flow

of illegal immigration is an

invasion I I've resisted for years I

think you've seen me I've resisted

calling illegal immigration Invasion

because it was still at a low enough

number that we could absorb it okay and

it was coming from countries that I felt

more comfortable with Central America

Mexico you I have a feeling of comfort

with that that community

they're they're very American you know

they like families they like they like

hard work give me more but we're at a

level now and they're coming from places

that we you know we have a little less

comfort with

culturally not as easy fit as the

Central and South Americans are and I

would call it a

war that's not it's not too strong is

it yeah I don't think that's too strong

I think it's or

um and then I would say that American

citizens have a an extra War so if

you're an American citizen you're

supporting a government that's in five

different

Wars but you have an extra War if you're

a citizen beyond the one that you're

supporting your government for which is

the war against the government

itself

because

um the government has created a web of

censorship uh entities that are funded

through you know various Democrat and

non-governmental forces they have the

effect of taking your freedom away and

turning the country into a no free

speech eventually we'll take your guns

away Etc and I would say that citizens

are literally fighting a war against

their own

government is that too strong don't you

feel like the citizens are at war with

their

government I mean not militarily but the

government is jailing dissidents for

pretty much they're trying to

put Trump in

jail to make sure that they have a

totalitarian situation there's nobody

running against them that could beat

them

um if you're taking away my free speech

and putting people like me in jail I'm

at

War let me say it again I didn't start

start this War I didn't start it but I'm

at war with the government not

militarily I hope you know not violence

I hope but it's a

war it's it's a war yeah if we lose this

we are

we are completely

right and we're on the edge of

losing it now I think we're getting a

win it looks bad now because you know

the election's coming but I don't see

any possibility of a republican losing

the next

election unless it's Haley I

suppose uh but even if she wins she you

she's a little bit warlike so we would

be in the same place

perhaps um yeah so how in the world does

the Republican candidate whoever it

might

be lose against a candidate who has

created Five Wars the government is

fighting and a six War against the

Citizens themselves which he's fairly

overt about because he does talk about

Maga being you know the biggest

problem and then you look at the WF the

world economic Forum did you see what

they they listed as their uh biggest

risks in the next few years to the

world to the whole world the world

economic Forum uh did a deep dive and

they said that the biggest risk is

disinformation and

misinformation what kind of a entity

says that's the biggest risk not nuclear

war not poverty not that who says

that here's what they add number two

extreme

weather number one is

misinformation number two is extreme

weather what do what do those two have

in

common misinformation and extreme

weather what do they have in

common come on don't make me ask AI damn

it AI can you please make a joke that

involves what do climate change and

misinformation have in

common they are both examples of hot

air word play word play

oh my God oh my God L make it better

improve your

joke extreme weather is like a fart from

mother n that's that's good oh that's

good extreme weather is like mother

nature

farting all right um

but that's only number one and two uh

you get to the you get to the important

ones number three number three is uh

societal po

polarization what causes the societal

polarization huh you know I guess it

kind of happens on its own doesn't it

you know I was sitting around the other

day and there was some societal

polarization that came through like the

weather there's nothing you can do about

it it has nothing to do with what we're

doing no it has nothing to do with our

policies it's just sort of a force it's

like a field in science a field it's

just sort of always there yeah got that

societal

polarization all right let me ask you a

question uh ladies and gentlemen uh who

do you think was the author of this

report a man or a woman top three

misinformation extreme weather and

societal polarization

war is down the list yeah of course it

was a

woman let me explain to you

women the inner life of a man okay if

you've never heard this before this will

be uh shocking to you but turn to the

closest man and ask him if it's true you

get dressed up and go to a nice

restaurant with your

man

what you're thinking is how do I look

you know how do the other people look

what am I going to order you know you're

thinking about your date how does my

date like me how are we getting along do

you know what your date is

thinking let me tell you what your date

is

thinking all right we got 15 men who

look like they could be dangerous there

are the exits what kind of things could

I use as a weapon I've got some Forks

don't have a steak Knife yet I I think I

could take the three by the door but the

guy over there I'm I'm going to have to

throw something at him and just run um

unless I can get him from behind um I

think I could fight my way

here look at the comments

ladies we're at

War all the

time we're never not at

War you're at War when you're talking to

your best

friend you are always at War it doesn't

turn off

and by the way that's not a complaint if

it sounds like I'm complaining I'm not

we're actually comfortable with that

mindset because we're designed that way

it's like Evolution just turned us into

that and we just embrace it now but look

at the comments the comments are just

all confirming

yeah so if a man writes what are the

biggest risks he's going to say

War if a man writes this report War

right at the top do you know what's

number two if it's a

man economics do you know why economics

is number two because you can't win a

War unless your economy is

really really

good so ba basically this is a Dei kind

of

work um I'm not sure women should be

judging

risks on a global

level and that's it might be the most

sexist thing I've ever said but look at

the result this is a pure female

product am I right this is a female

product yeah I I think you need the

people who live War all the time to uh

kind of tell you what your big risks

are all right V and uh he's campaigning

hard in Iowa is it my imagination or is

about half of all the news made about

the election being made by

Vi is it only because that's what I see

and people send me those tweets and

stuff but I feel like he's doing by far

I mean maybe by 5 to1 ratio he's doing

the best job of creating positive news

for his campaign he creates a lot of

news and it's almost all interesting and

positive and capable

but today again he's in Iowa and he

appeared with Steve King uh retired

representative from the state and

Candace

Owens now Steve King was famously you

know driven out of office in a sense by

being accused of being a white

supremacist so now V is standing there

with somebody accused of being a white

supremacist and with Candace Owens and

uh and he laughs you know he says that

he's with these two other controversial

people he says what will the medor right

will they call it the Brown face of

white

supremacy which is a good comment right

so he he he jokes and he says the media

accused Steve king of racism and

criticized me for failing to condemn

quote white supremacy whatever that

means that's what I want to hear

I want to hear after the the two words

white

supremacy everybody who uses it I want

to hear somebody say whatever that means

because that's the important part the

whatever that means means it's

subjective and it's not a standard which

you can use for government or anything

else if you can't put it into words and

explain it it's not a standard you have

to ignore it and mock it and of

existence which is what he's

doing um and then he says the visual

image of Candace Steve King and me on

stage together yesterday was

inconvenient for their

narrative sure

was yeah I mean this is this little

group of pirates Oh by by the way what

do I always tell you I love about

Trump's entire approach not just to

politics but life

itself I love

Trump in his pirate ship approach to

life and what I mean is that in both his

personal life and definitely his

political life if you're a

pirate but you're on his side and you're

pro-america let's get together pirate uh

you know I'm going to forgive your

pirating as long as you're pro- americ

you know we can work with you so he

collects you know people accused of

every damn thing in the world as his

supporters including me you know people

have been accused of every bad thing

thing in the world and he makes that

work and the reason Trump makes that

work he doesn't judge

them just think about it Trump might be

the most opinionated person you've ever

met at the same time he might be the

least

judgmental about just ordinary people he

doesn't talk about you know some group

of citizens being you know bad that that

sort of Biden's

territory so I like the fact that V is

in that at least a little bit in that

model that uh he would have

controversial people like Steve King

Candis of course is popular among

Republicans but also she's a lightning

rod you know in her party and out so the

fact that you can stand on stage and

have support from you know two of the

Pirates is great I love

it um

and if you have a president who's

planning to bring the country together

you stand on the stage with Steve King

and Candace

ens and you say we all want what's good

for the

country that's good stuff good imagery

good good everything that's just good

everything speaking of aake uh there was

a video of Mike Ben driving his car and

I guess Mike is in Iowa and's in the car

and he asks him some questions and the

topic was uh as Mike Ben is the the best

describer of this

situation the government can't censor

you directly that would be illegal so

instead the government and all of its

buddies in the personal World they have

lots of money they fund these external

organizations that are allegedly

non-government you know they're

Watchdogs and their fact Checkers and

you know they're making sure there's no

misinformation disinformation but of

course they're

largely fake and they're just Democrat

organs designed to promote Democrat

policies and you know insult Republicans

basically so Mike Ben was asking V what

he would do about that and I'm going to

par you know kind of

paraphrase a longer discussion but the

idea was that V would create a a report

that would uh add

transparency so you could see every

instance in which the US government had

been or is influencing Private Industry

to do things that a government couldn't

do

directly and that there would be

consequences for anybody trying to do

trying to do an end run to the

Constitution by using these private

companies to do their their winged

Monkey

Business now I don't know how close you

could get to actually mapping that out

and and doing it fairly but the fact

that he's willing to take that

on that's huge I mean V is offering you

a specific plan to get free speech back

who did

that is there any Democrat who's asking

who's offering any path to get your free

speech back no they want to take it

they're actually literally telling you

that you should have less Free Speech

but how about uh how about

DeSantis how about Nikki haly

how about

Trump have any of them given you a way

that they're going to return your

freedom of speech haven't heard it

haven't heard it what's uh my number one

most important thing not

disinformation it's the ability to say

what you think it's free speech free

speech is sort of the uh you know the

the lynchpin is that the right analogy

the thing that's holding everything else

together at least in America in De

democracy leaning countries if you don't

have that you don't have anything you

know all the all the rest falls apart

for sure so V not only has the correct

priorities you he understands the the

immense risk of this situation but he

also has a very specific and to me it

sounds very doable plan for dismantling

it how do you beat

that now I understand that anybody could

lose the election so you you could beat

anybody electorally but who who's even

in this

class i' I don't think I've seen an

election before where it feels like V

having a whole bunch of good ideas that

would work including reducing government

by 75% on day

one you know I mean that would be hard

to do but if you're working in that

direction and working hard on it you

might get pretty

close I I would say that he's he's

almost not r running against

anybody is he because there's nobody on

the other side of this

topic and there's not even anybody on

his side of the topic and yet it's the

most important topic it's the number one

and he's alone he's literally alone on

the number one most important thing with

a practical plan how the do you not

vote for that

guy come

on what are you thinking

now I I love Trump and if he gets the

nomination I'll support him of course

you know against Biden that's that's a

no-brainer

but the is in a Class by

Himself if you haven't seen it yet you

need to pay more

attention like you're you're seeing

something that I never thought I would

see do you remember how uh well not

remember but you're certainly aware that

the founders of the country were not an

ordinary group of

people Ben Franklin wasn't just a normal

dude Thomas Jefferson wasn't just

another slave

owner right George

Washington didn't just get

lucky right

Hamilton was a smart

guy right the the founders were special

they were very special and we got

amazingly lucky that they all happened

to be in the same place at the same time

on the same side that was real luck

right but I always said to myself why

will there never be one of those again

now part of it is we we build up the

reputations of our of Our Heroes so some

of it might be hyperbole but why don't

we ever get another

Jefferson you know where where's our

well I guess we got a Ben Franklin you

know Elon Musk is is Ben Franklin on

steroids so I guess we did get a Ben

Franklin but you know what we also got a

Thomas

Jefferson we just got to wake

up V is Thomas

Jefferson he's not

around he's he's not looking to tweak

things that that that's what I think set

Jefferson apart he wasn't looking to

make minor

improvements you know he's going to do

the Louisiana Purchase and the American

Revolution and he's you know he's going

to write the Preamble or whatever he

wrote yeah I think

vake and and I believe it or not I don't

think this is

hyperbole as as outrageous as this

sound he is Thomas Jefferson for

2024 if we if we let him go my

God my

God why would you let him

go right well you know Trump is a force

of Nature and that's probably going to

happen you know if you if you're going

to play the odds it's going to be Trump

but man don't don't let that

go so what else is going on let's see um

Peter Sweden reports on the xplatform

that uh the world economic Forum again

has announced that they're holding a

meeting to prepare for what they call

disease

X they're holding a meeting to figure

out how to deal with disease X which

they say could be um 20 times worse than

Co now if you read this quickly you

probably think to yourself hey they're

worried about another

virus but have I ever taught you and

that and I'm think I'm sure that's what

they'll talk about is viruses but if I

ever taught you the uh hypnotist trick

for reading

Minds the hypnotist trick is that when

people choose their words

that's more revealing than what those

words say when they're in a sentence so

when they they form the

sentences they're trying to tell you

what they want you to believe when they

choose the words that are in the

sentence they're often telling you what

they're thinking but they don't but

they're not aware of it so that would be

like a froan slip the example my

hypnosis instructor gave me and I use

this all the time is if you're a date

it's a a new date you Haven you don't

know the person and your date says to

you instead of saying I'm famished

before you go to dinner she accidentally

says I'm

ravished that was actually an example

that my hypnosis instructor gave us

she's telling you that the sentence

tells you she's hungry but the word

choice tells you she's

horny and and that is usually

accurate check the word choice the

sentence says they're getting together

to hold a

meeting um to talk about the next big

virus that might be

worse that's what their sentences say

but what did they decide to call

it disease

X do you know what the world economic

forum's biggest problem is that's 20

times bigger than Co for the world

economic

forum it's Elon Musk his free

speech that exists in exactly one place

in the world right now on the

xplatform so yes for the world economic

forum for them

personally Elon musk's xplatform is 20

times worse than

Co

literally literally is 20 times worse

than Co for the members of the

WF

personally because I'll bet almost none

of them died from

covid but their reputations are are

getting you know trampled on every day

on

X so I don't think it's an accident that

X is used in that now you might say to

me and you probably do but Scott they

came up with that phrasing long before

the xplatform and long before Elon Musk

that might be true but you know what

else is true they had plenty of time to

rename

it they had plenty of time to give it

another letter you know so it's not

associated with and they didn't so it

probably means something all right

here's another vake news making thing he

makes a prediction and he's a little

more specific this time he says here's

the plot so he's literally predicting

this number one narrow this to a two

horse race between Trump and a puppet

they can control

two eliminate Trump that leaves you with

the puppet and then Trot their puppet

into the white

house uh and then he says uh next up

this is his prediction next up Ron de

santis joins Nikki Hilly's ticket as VP

whoa okay and then Ron may not know it

yet but he won't have a say in the

matter so V is claiming that there are

you know Powers behind the curtain so

strong that they can manipulate this

situation into being which would put um

Nikki

Haley who many say is a neocon

war-loving

spender uh in charge with Ron

DeSantis sort of De neutered by putting

him you know basically they get him out

of Florida and they neuter him by making

him a vice

president um I don't think there's any

chance of that I don't think there's any

chance of DeSantis being a vice

president for Nikki Haley what do you

think part of is the age

situation uh because the Sanz is young

enough that if Trump were not in the

race he would be an obvious front runner

and Trump only has four years maximum

left so if you're

V uh going into the vice presidency

where only bad can happen feel uh sorry

if you're disantis going into a vice

presidency where only bad can

happen versus running Florida and

continuing to be you know one of the

best two Governors with

Abbott I think this census's strategy

would be better now what V is saying

very directly is that even if DeSantis

wanted not to be vice president that the

powers that be would force them into

it now that's a bold prediction that's

some bold prediction

there now remember predictions are not

always just

predictions sometimes a prediction and I

I use them this way myself is a way to

Tamp down the actual possibility so if

you predict something bad is going to

happen before the bad people make it

happen it suppresses their let's say

their freedom to do it because you

called it in advance so if aake is

poisoning he's poisoning the well

assaulting the field and making it

harder for what he speculates could be

the plan he's making it harder for them

to do it because if they do it exactly

the way he calls it out it it kind of

you know shows the whole

op so I do love the prediction as a uh

poisoning the

well plan uh I predict against DeSantis

being vice president to Nikki Hy

so I'm I'm going to go the other way

prediction wise but I understand why he

would make the prediction you know think

of it more as uh positioning and priming

and not exactly a

prediction all right so we've heard now

you probably already heard this that

fouchy finally admitted that the whole

six- foot distancing rule was not based

on science or as he says it just sort of

appeared it sort of just

appeared we live we literally organized

our entire lives around staying 6ot away

from people and there was no basis for

it at all nobody people aren't even sure

where it came from I don't even know

where it came from it just sort of

appeared now on the other hand it also

wasn't

crazy doesn't it feel reasonable to you

that if you're six feet away from

somebody you have less chance of getting

their

virus I mean it doesn't sound crazy it

just wasn't based on science

all right challenge accepted challenge

accepted you're get you're going to find

out about

that all right uh the IG reports that

the Pentagon failed to account more than

a billion dollars in weapons sent to

Ukraine is there anything we keep track

of besides

Dei in this country

we've lost everything from laptops to

billions of dollars in Ukraine and

billions of pieces of equipment and

billions

now I feel like the only thing we don't

keep track well the only thing we do

keep track of is do we have too many

white

men like I'm glad that we know exactly

the number of too many white men we have

in the country wouldn't it be nice to to

know where our taxes went yeah that'd be

nice

nice all right because you challenged me

you're going to get

it but I think I'm G to wait on this

um so Bill

Amman is talking about a lawsuit by a

bunch of students on Harvard and they're

suing Harvard for being a racist uh

place that is not protecting them from

massive anti-Semitism and according to

bill the claim is really strong expects

them to win against Harvard and uh you

know I just did a quick reading of the

complaint it's pretty strong it's a

strong complaint I don't know how any

any judge or jury would imagine that

their allegations are not effectively

true I mean maybe it's some detail or

something but but directionally yes

absolutely true absolutely true so

that's inter

interesting

um so it's another bad day for Harvard

but let's see how things are doing in

other

places well let me ask you this question

imagine you were a CEO of a major

American

company and you've got a Dei group in

your company and you're watching Harvard

being

sued because the Dei has caused the

Discrimination in the anti-semitism

and the suit looks strong like they're

going to win and Harvard has been

disgraced with their over Dei stuff and

ruined their reputation for who knows

how long now you're a CEO of a company

and you're doing exactly the strategy a

Dei group and putting a focus on it the

same strategy that literally is

destroying the most respected upper

education

facility in the world and the whole

world and you're a CEO and you're doing

the same plan that you're watching

destroy Harvard in real time how do you

justify

that fear because you know if you cancel

the Dei you'll get canceled yeah I can't

imagine anything worse than this if

you're a CEO this has got to be

embarrassing to be doing the same policy

that is destroying Harvard while you

watch

while you

watch

Amazing all right um and wokeness uh is

reporting this is an exclusive from end

wokeness they count on

X uh that in the Denver public schools

there was an internal memo sent to staff

and teachers at Denver public schools uh

with the black Excellence pledge and

included in the

pledge was that uh they want people to

understand the prevalence and deep harm

whiteness brings to

students uh Equity based revisions to

curriculum so they want the curriculum

change so it's more Equity based and

working to dismantle the system that

allows certain students to Excel and

others to

perish and that it also states that all

whites are racist and perpetuate racist

ideologies policies and

practices

so that's a less than ideal that's uh

that's less than

ideal yeah how much do you need a

Republican president

now it's like we're going to be begging

for one we're be begging for it all

right so uh Brett uh Weinstein uh

announced today that he's removing uh a

very early post that he made in the

beginning of the pandemic in which he

had argued that the the requirement you

know the mandatory masking was no big

deal and if it might help uh it would be

no harder than washing your hands and

that's pretty reasonable

anyway now remember context matters this

is the beginning of the pandemic when

nobody knew exactly how bad things were

or if for sure masks worked now there

was an argument that the mask don't stop

the virus because the virus is too small

but that hadn't been you know studied in

a in a way that you could know for sure

so I would agree that Brett was uh

accurate in his initial statement that

if everything's up for grabs we don't

know anything because it's the beginning

of the pandemic and it looks like it

could be the worst thing ever happened

to the world it turns out it wasn't but

in the early part it looked like it

could be much much worse than we

eventually learned it was as bad as it

was you Millions died but it could have

been

worse so I would say uh um and Brett's

Brett is getting rid of the Tweet uh the

post not because he's changed his mind

about what made sense in the beginning

but because people are having trouble

distinguishing the early opinion from

you know what made sense once you learn

more uh so he's deleting it but he's

doing it publicly and telling you he's

doing it because he just he's getting I

guess he's tired of explaining himself

I'm okay with that I'm going to back him

on this so I'm going to back him on

removing the Tweet he's doing it

publicly so he's telling you he's doing

he's telling you why it's a good reason

and his initial opinion he says he's

modified and thinks his initial opinion

was off base what else do you

want is there anything else you

want to me that's a perfect

opinion a perfect opinion I got it wrong

but it was in a period where it was a

fog War so people were guessing uh now

I'm updating it I'm telling you what I'm

doing that's everything right do you

agree I want to hear if you're I got no

so you're disagreeing because his

initial

opinion we knew later was wrong is that

your standard what kind of standard is

that too little too late he was one of

the major he was one of the major voices

against the mandatory everything that

was too little he literally sacrificed

his career for

it you're pretty you're pretty tough

graders here is it my job to defend

him I'm gonna have

to no you you want more of him I was

listening to him on the Tucker and I was

really I was really

taken by how well he explains

complicated things he really is a

treasure now whether you agree with him

is a separate question I'm going to give

you a little disagreement later but his

ability to explain a complicated thing

is unparalleled I mean he's just the

best and his uh

bravery of being know bucking the system

A+ so and in his dedication to following

the data as he sees it again you could

disagree but his dedication to following

the data where it

went perfect perfect yeah you know you

you could say people like him made some

early mistakes maybe you think they

still made some mistakes that's fair but

you want more of him not less it's like

free speech we want more free speech

even though people say crazy stuff you

need more Brett more Brett even if he

gets one wrong you need more of it all

right now I'm going to disagree with him

I primed you just right right so here's

something that BR

said um he said he was initially in

favor of the Mask because uh it seemed

like not much to ask and but he's

deleting it and now he says a riddle for

you given the size of the holes in a

window screen why would anyone believe

they could prevent transmission of

malaria do you think your screen door

would prevent transmission of

malaria to which I

say I don't know too much about malaria

but doesn't travel on an

insect can I can a mosquito get through

a screen

door I thought the screen door was

specifically sized to prevent the

mosquito wa you're saying they can get

through a screen door a mosquito I guess

it depends on the mosquito I'm thinking

of the like those big mosquitoes with

the big beaks you know that that take a

pint of blood from you I know they can't

get through

anyway have I ever told you that the

least scientific thing you could do is

use an analogy well but it's in the

service of making a point so that's the

right way to do it if you use an analogy

in the service of explaining how a point

works that is a correct use so he's

using it correctly I I mock people for

using anies to win arguments but if

you're just doing it to explain the

argument you know that the size of this

is bigger than the size of that that's

actually the correct way to use an

analogy and that's rare so

again Brett for the win because he did

the rarest thing he used an analogy

correctly how often do you see that it's

actually kind of

rare actually know how to use it

correctly but here's my

disagreement

um and I explained this in a reply back

to his post so I'll just read it to you

so because it's so perfect uh here's the

here's how events

unfolded uh experts told us the size of

the initial infection mattered and that

the more virus you got the sicker you

got do you remember

that I don't know if that was ever

confirmed by the way it makes sense but

I don't know if it was ever confirmed so

the question is if you got like one one

tiny little virus that like hit you on

the side of the lip would that be enough

to infect you one just literally one you

the side of lip would that infect you I

don't know I I think the experts were

indicating Maybe not maybe not but if

you got a

mouthful probably yes probably yes so if

you french kissed somebody with you know

a terrible load of virus almost

certainly

almost certainly you get enough now not

only is the level uh does it matter to

whether you get it or not but if you do

get it the experts also said that the

more you get exposed to it first the

worse it could be do you remember that

that the viral load was important to how

bad you got it so if you maybe spent the

night right next to somebody with a lot

of it you'd be really sick if you got

the the slightest little whiff of it

because you walk through a crowded room

you still get Co maybe but maybe not so

bad because it would start slow and your

body would have time to you know to

mount its defenses before it was was

overwhelming I don't know if that was

ever confirmed but would you agree with

the following statement that in the fog

of War when the experts thought the more

virus the the worse it would be that if

you had any mechanism that could reduce

how much you got from one person at one

time that would give you a little bit of

Advantage would you agree with that I I

want to see somebody disagree with that

because I know you will disagree with

that all right if you disagree with that

you're just being

silly that's just silly I can't take you

seriously the these this is not the part

you can disagree

with all right so if you now I'm and I'm

saying I don't know if the viral load

does make a difference I'm saying the

experts said it so I'm just quoting the

experts right and I go on and I would

say

uh um then they told us that the virus

traveled on air droplets that were often

but not always bigger than the

holes often but not always bigger than

the holes which means that some virus of

course gets through and is still

Airborne on the drop litz and it can

infect people and let me ask you this if

an infected person wore a mask

and you knew they were infected and you

knew they've been breathing into their

mask all day would you take their mask

if you weren't infected and put it on

your face and would you worry now forget

about the icky part of it wouldn't you

know that W with 100% certainty that the

inside of the Mask has virus on it youd

know that right because it'd be wet it's

moist if the inside of the Mask is moist

by definition it stop droplets

almost certainly they had virus on them

so some could have been very little

amount but some gets trapped in the mask

does anybody disagree with the fact that

if you're infected and the inside of

your mask is moist which it would be

some but we don't know how much it could

be trivial it could be one particle but

some is on the inside of the Mask

there's no question about that right

now here's what else we knew at the

beginning um and I said the better

analogy is a a flea on a dog trying to

get through a chain link fence so if the

flea is on the dog it doesn't matter

that the chain link fence has a big hole

on it the dog can't get through the hole

and the virus is on the dog so that

would be the better analogy and the way

Brett used it was correct because he

made the point that you know it might be

bigger the hole is bigger than the the

virus and I'm making another analogy

which is also a correct way to use them

because I'm adding that the water

droplet is bigger than the hole I'm just

using a dog for my analogy so that

that's the good way to use an analogy

both of us are using it

correctly all right

um then uh yeah let's see so I would say

this was my take after we learned enough

about masks in the rarest situation

it might

hypothetically make a difference let

give you let me give you the rarest of

situations you have to go say happy

birthday to your hold on hold

on you got to play fair don't don't just

don't be a reflex you haven't even

listened to what I said the rarest of

situations you've got to go say uh happy

birthday to your great-grandmother who's

a 100 years old and she's in the nursing

home now forget about for a moment that

it would be a requirement to wear a mask

if let's say it wasn't a requirement um

if you're just going to go in for a

minute you don't want to be too far away

from Grandma and you just want to get

close enough that you made a human

connection and then you're going to

withdraw so you're only going to be

there a

minute would a mask make a difference go

you're going to be there one minute one

minute only close to Grandma mask make a

difference yes or no

all right everybody who said no is

wrong and everybody who said yes is

wrong the person who said probably or

maybe is

correct the person who said maybe is

correct if you said no for sure that's

completely wrong if you said yes for

sure I think you're probably right but

nobody knows it depends so I would say

you could constru Ru a situation that's

very

artificial that in the in the most

extreme situation you could imagine it

was the difference between the virus

being enough on Grandma and not quite

being

enough how often would that happen close

to never close to never right and I'm

pretty sure if you sat in a room with

highly infected people for days at a

time it wouldn't matter if you had a

mask on we all agree on that right it

wouldn't matter so when you look for the

effect of masking in populations and you

say this city had masking mandates this

one did not how' they do you don't

really see the benefit do you

agree that you could imagine the

scenario very very strange and unusual

one that will never happen to you that

it would make some difference but not in

the real world in the real world you

don't see the effect so given that you

don't see the effect can we all agree

ladies and gentem

mandatory masking is evil and wrong it's

wrong-headed it's unscientific it's

unjustified there's no statistics

there's no data to justify mandatory

masking thank

you now but I I'm going to completely

agree with Brett that because the effect

of the Mas isn't identifiable at a

population level it's it's safe enough

to say they don't work

are you okay with that that given that

we don't see it working at a population

level it's fair to say they don't work

but it's not fair to say they don't stop

any virus because obviously they do it's

not fair to say that there's no

situation no matter how rare where it

could help somebody

because it might don't know for

sure so on uh the first weeks of the

pandemic when the government said hey

hey maybe we should try this mask thing

that wasn't crazy and Brett was not

crazy and saying you know might be worth

a try short term see if it see if it

matters and then he changed his mind

when he had better data that's

perfect right if you're judging him for

being once wrong you're missing the

show that you don't judge people for

being wrong you judge people for how

they

adjusted that's the way to judge people

did he adjust correctly

yes yes you can't get more correct than

this this is

100% the way you want all people to act

if you were King you'd want all people

to be human maybe you make a mistake

maybe you don't have enough data maybe

you're guessing maybe you're doing good

risk management I I'll even go further I

think Brett is uh kind of nobly taking

responsibility for being wrong when he

was actually right

he was right from a riskmanagement

perspective he was wrong on the details

meaning it didn't work if you make a

proper riskmanagement decision that does

not mean you made the right

decision that's very important but if

you properly assessed the odds and took

the high probability route that's the

right decision even if later you find

out it was wrong what Brett did was

say shortterm we don't know for sure

deadly pandemic we don't know how bad it

could be all variables are on the table

they're asking the citizens to try this

he's arguing you we could all make it

work you know it's not much harder than

washing your

hands that was the correct risk

management

take so he's not only correct in the

entire Arc of how he handled it he was

correct in the first place because he

treated as a riskmanagement decision

which is why it was if he had treated it

the way many of you did was does it

work does it work that was the wrong way

to think about

it the right way to think about it was

risk management and he got it completely

right and then what he had more data he

got it completely right twice he was

right

twice he was right

twice right all right uh rasmon asked

people if they know people who had vax

injury um 53% says they say they believe

they know somebody was injured by a

vaccine what percent of

adults um say

they they personally know someone who's

uh who was affected by the

V did I miss a page I think I missed a

page yeah

24% so 24% think they know somebody was

injured by a

vaccine you can draw your own

conclusions from

that here here's why

um here's why I think it's dangerous to

believe you know somebody injured by

vaccines and by the way some of you do

there there are plenty of people injured

by vaccines because there was such a

massive roll out so whether or not the

vaccines were safe enough is a separate

question from whether there were

injuries because vaccines most medicine

has some

injury um but probably what's happening

some of some of you know real injuries

and you're right and others of you know

somebody who had an injury soon after

vaccination and you might be right but

you don't

know yeah the myocarditis would be a

stronger signal than some of the other

stuff because that's so

specifically you know indicated seizures

would be a strong indication yeah but

some of them will be coincidence you

don't really know

all right that ladies and

gentlemen is my amazing show for today

thanks for joining everybody on the uh

YouTube and Rumble and X platforms I

hope you're still happy with the sound

my upgraded sound

system all right long as you're all

happy thanks for joining and we'll see
