Episode 2669 CWSA 11/24/24

showing you once again that some live streamers don't take days off no sometimes you just have to power through it and just make sure my comments are working here yes they are and that means an incredible show is ahead of you good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization probably the best day you'll ever have in your life but if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny shiny human brains all you need for that is a cuper muger glass a tanker CH Stein a canteen Jugger flask a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid ey like coffee and join me now for the unparallel pleasure the dopamine end of the day the thing makes everything better it's called the simultaneous Sip and it happens now oh perfect yeah it's just perfect well good news researchers from China and Brazil have finally given us the invention we need it's a robot dog that can search for fire ants so if you have a big problem with fire ants you've got a robot dog Solution that's coming that can recognize fire ants and do what with them I don't know just spot them I guess so you can go kill them now what I want is a robo dog that can pick weeds and also pick vegetables and stuff from a garden so what I want to have is uh on the side of my house want to have a little uh little hot house you know Greenhouse kind of thing and I want to have two or three little robots that have access to everything that can climb up and pick stuff and get rid of weeds and water things and check for problems and it'd be smarter than I am right if I looked at the leaf and it was dying I wouldn't know why but AI would know why and then it could go fix it so in theory I could have my own little mini garden with a little mini Gardener and every day I'd just go in there and there'd be a basket of whatever the latest Harvest was and then I give it to my robot chef and my robot Chef would cook it up for me and I would just have the best food from robots that's the future well meanwhile uh at the MIT according to Adam zi he has an article on that that MIT has developed some noise cancelling silk so it's a sort of a fabric material that has two different elements to it at least two there are two different aspects to it both of them will reduce sound and I'm thinking to myself if you could make a piece of silk that people could stick in their ears and not hear their partner snoring now you've got something I don't know if that's ever going to happen but if this silk can cancel noise um it sure seems like you could make some mirror plugs out of it and that would change everything do you know the one of the biggest secrets in America and I'm guessing it's the same in other countries is the number of married people who can't sleep in the same room it just isn't possible because one of them snores you really can't sleep with a snorer I learned that the hard way by being the snorer yeah nobody wants to sleep with a snore anyway here's a funny story according to uh the Atlantic Daniel engber is writing that um there's this business school scandal that just keeps getting bigger and the Scandal is professors at the business school uh writing academic papers that are fraudulent let's see uh what what terrible business school has that I mean I'd sure hate to have a degree can you imagine can you imagine having a degree for one of these gray business schools that you find out the professors are all a bunch of uh see what business school was it it was uh it was oh was the UC B uh oh the UC Berkeley H School of Business okay that's where I have my MBA but the jokes on them because also I disown them um for being racist already so I don't have to disown them for also being having professors who are who are big Liars I I I already disavowed them for being racist oh poor hos business school anyway there was one professor in particular who's uh just racking up the fake the fake studies and got caught uh according to the New York Post um G gun ownership has soared among Republican women uh but it's declined among Democrat men so so there are fewer Democrat men with guns and there are more Republican women with guns than there were recently I by surprised by that I I actually thought everybody would have more guns but apparently the the men have decided they don't need them but the Republican women are strapped so since 2019 33% of GOP ladies have been packing heat is that true is that true that onethird of Republican women uh are gun owners that's way more than I thought I would guess 10% it's pretty impressive that's up from 22% uh you know a few years earlier than that pretty impressive meanwhile in cost the creepiest of all scientific studies are you ready for the creepiest of all scientific studies I I almost wasn't even going to talk about it but I I I think I can do it without going to jail uh so there was a study Eric Dolan is writing about this in cost so as a study published in complimentary therapies and clinical practices which of course you all read that uh children who have ADHD uh can be benefited by massage so they made sure they had very professional this is key professional massage therapists and it didn't say so in the study but I'm going to like to think that they were closely monitored by observers because I hate to think that they were putting a bunch of children behind a closed door with a massage therapist I hope that didn't happen but assuming that they were properly supervised and there was nothing Inky about the experiment itself what they believe they found is that the kids who got regular massage therapy slept better and concentrated and did better in school now do you know who would have guessed that without a study I would do you know why I think this worked because here here's just a speculation I feel like there's something about ADHD that we don't fully understand well I guess that's an understatement I think everybody would agree with that but if you're distracted and maybe I'm just speaking for myself it's because there's something you're looking for that you need that you don't have now that's my take that's this is not agreeing with any scientists or anything I I have no idea what the scientists say but my take whenever I'm distracted is not so much that there's just too much in my head it's that I'm aware that there's something I need that I don't have and I'm looking for it but I don't know what it is so I don't know if I have it yet so I'm just sort of looking all the time but what I've discovered is and I told you this before that if I get like a good exercise and it it fulfills my I don't know my body's chemical needs then my brain is fine then my brain calms down so are you surprised that a massage which would have similar benefits to getting some good exercise would also calm the brain it should but I would also add this second thing in my own experience that when I've got a good dose of oxytocin which you can only get from physical contact with other humans that I don't need much else so if you give me oxytocin I'm not immediately thinking about working harder or exercising or solving a problem I actually have everything I want I just sit there thinking oh it's a good day I've got everything I want glass of water it's all I need so what I'm wondering is did the massage therapy give the youngsters some oxytocin that feel good I've got everything I need chem chemistry and that's all it was so that's my hypothesis is that it wasn't the physical manipulation uh or the relaxing although that should have helped because it pretty much helps with with everything so if it didn't help I'd be surprised but maybe the bigger thing is that people don't have enough oxytocin so here's what I would study to find out I take a bunch of kids who have ADHD and then I would ask them questions like when was the last time you got hugged huh cuz I'll bet you'll find that the kids with ADHD probably get hugged less and they they had less oxytocin just a gas it's speculation pure speculation all right I see a weird meme going by with oh Dilbert and a Tesla okay anyway um uh there's a topic I don't know if I want to talk about but I might yeah I'm going to just going to go for it so I wasn't going to talk about this but I will so somebody that I don't know who is uh says they fans of Dill bird and fans of mine have created a crypto uh that I guess is called a Dilbert and they've asked me to promote it I'm not doing that I'm asking them to take it down and dismantle it if there's any way to do that I don't know if you can reverse it here's why well on one hand I take it as a great compliment that somebody wanted to you know boost dilbur somehow and boost me and their fans you can't create a sketchy Financial product and Associate it with my name and my brand and then push me to to boost it do you understand that you put me at great financial and other risk because if other people see the Dilbert name on it they're going to say well that's probably endorsed by Scott and therefore it's probably safe he probably looked into it I did not look into it and I have no idea that it is safe and I'm not even sure who's behind it so uh so no I do not endorse it and I need it to be taken down and dismantled immediately because I don't want to be in a position where my reputation in my brand is writing on the good work and honesty of people I've never met in in the in the sketchiest of all Realms the you know the shitcoin crypto area so if you would please stop spamming my uh all of my comments on X and on my live streams trying to get people to buy this token I I will advise everybody who's listening do not buy this token and if you did I'm sorry but I had nothing to do with it and it would be a huge mistake to be involved with it in any way now if it turned out that it's completely unthe legit and somebody was just just doing me a favor it doesn't change my response because you don't get to decide what I'm associated with right it's not your decision that I'm associated with this financial product my decision is I'm going to sue the out of you if you don't take it down because I I can't I can't abide with that being up right so you need to dismantle it and if if you're just fans then no hard feelings if you didn't know I will I will accept I will accept a I didn't know that was going to be a problem that would be perfectly acceptable I just can't have it exist so you need to get rid of it got that all right so I didn't even want to talk about it but um stay away from that thing all right um pursue here's a study from Gilmore Health news pursuing happiness as a goal often fails to make people happier here's why I think that makes sense the reason you can't pursue happiness is it's not a thing you can't pursue happiness you could pursue a wild animal you could pursue a ball that's rolling down a hill you could pursue a car you could pursue a dog because those are all real but happiness you can't pursue you could end up happy but you can't pursue happiness there are two things you can pursue that'll get there you can pursue meaning meaning so you're doing something that's helpful to other people usually it's usually being useful you're either having children and you're doing a good job of being a parent or you're doing a job that's important to the world or you inventing something or you doing what Elon Musk is doing trying to save the world from debt and or at least the country and those could give you meaning but if the only thing you did were hard work it wouldn't make you very happy either because you'd just be burned out and wouldn't be much left of you so here's the Scott formula for happiness you can't chase it don't chase it but you can let it happen by doing other things that are right so I would say you want to spend about 80% of your time chasing meaning now that could include the time it takes you to tie your shoes and put your clothes on and shave in the morning or put your hair together because that's all important to getting anything done but the 80% should be making sure that it's directed at some kind of useful something now if you're young um you don't have as many opportunities so I would say if you're if you're on a dating app and you're trying to date and you know your your ambition is to someday have a family that's great then dating dating is exactly what you should be doing even if it doesn't look like this specific data is working out you're chasing meaning that's still good if you're chasing meaning 80% of the time and then 20% of the time you're chasing pleasure you're going to be fine if you chased pleasure 80% of the time you're going to be Dan B Bilzerian and eventually say you know what turns out that sleeping with five women A Day Made Me a lot of pleasure but not a lot of Happiness so he's trying to figure out the happiness part now so 8020 is your is your best Target 80% trying to either be part of creating more people you know which is good for the world or doing something something useful and 20% Pure Pleasure now if you don't get your 20% pure pleasure you won't you just will fall apart we just require some pleasure every day if you get too much you won't be happy if you get too little you won't be happy happy 8020 is a good mix adjust accordingly well apparently according Mario n is reporting on this there's a some according to Science Daily there are ancient hot springs on Mars that reveal that the planet might have been once habitable wouldn't it be cool to find out that there was a whole civilization on Mars and that they built the pyramids here's my here's my hypothesis on the pyramids you ready for this um everything about the pyramids is just recreational belief I don't know what happened I don't know why it seemed like all these ancient civilizations could build these giant structures and others couldn't but here's one possibility that the aliens from Mars or somewhere else who were very Advanced um got stranded on Earth so they didn't have the technology to get off of Earth and get home but they thought that someday they'd like to be found so they used the technology they had to build the pyramids because the pyramids are the uh the proof that high intelligence existed on earth a long time ago and you could see are from a very long distance so if they wanted to say well if somebody can find me someday I will arrange these pyramids in the shape of the star system I came from and then if somebody looks and go say hey wait there's three artificial things oh hold on they're in the shape of the star system from us there's no way these must be our people let's go get them so it could be that this that the pyramids are a uh a help signal you know just just something that can be seen from a very far distance from a very Advanced civilization to say whoa we better go pick those guys up of course they're long dead so it's too late just speculation all right uh here's something I liked hearing from VI ramaswami um he's saying that healthc care is a critical Frontier for Doge the department of government efficiency and he met with some of the other incoming appointees from in the Trump Administration he says they're serious about reducing cost and here's the important part he said they understand Innovation is a key part of the solution Innovation is a key part of the solution that's what I want to hear because if you tell me you're just going to cut my costs I don't want to hear that because you probably can't do it if you tell me you can restructure it re-engineer it you know rethink it in a way that you could almost you know make your assumptions from from scratch and build it up and that you could do it at a far lower cost I think you could I'll bet you could you know I spend a lot of time just way too much time thinking about ways you could lower health care costs and it turns out that the hard part is that 90% of the healthare costs come in your your last year of life and if you don't fix that you can't really fix health care costs and I don't know if anybody has any great idea for that except for you know doctor assistant suicide and I don't think we're going to go big for that so I don't have any ideas but I hope somebody does um here's a question question in the publication in Red State Ward Clark is writing about how there are these Soros back Charities that are really working hard to help illegal immigrants get into the United States and here's my question how could it be that there are public entities that are backed by Soros that are not hiding you know there's no secret about it that are aiding and beding illegal acts in the United States specifically illegal entry um as a non-citizen now my first question is is there not some normal mechanism by which this could be shut down how is it not illegal to Aid in the bed in a crime is there some kind of crime you can help somebody do and you're not in trouble does does operating from another soil make you safe if you're doing it from another country is that enough to not be illegal and and if it's legal why why is our CIA not having them assassinated because isn't that what we pay them to do if there was some entity that was not in the United States or even if they were and they were trying to do something that was terribly damaging to the United States and we couldn't do anything legally wouldn't we be sell sending our worst people off to kill those people because that's how you protect the United States I mean if you look at all the horrible things the United States has done under the umbrella of self-defense this would be the smallest thing we've ever done to stop people from sending criminals into our country criminals in the sense that you know they're not going through the legal system I'm not I'm not trying to say anything bad about the immigrants the immigrants I completely understand uh and I'll say this I guess I'll say this as plainly as I can if I were in their position I would try to get into the United States illegally so in that same position I would break the law I wouldn't feel I wouldn't feel any I wouldn't feel any guilt about it because I'm just trying to make things better for myself and my family so yeah but it's still legal doesn't mean we can be for it Scott this just makes you sound uninformed well you you could use some of those letters to say what it was I was missing or you could just be one of those dicks who just say you sound uninformed which helps nobody so while you're being useless and rude and disruptive great job there so you know that 80% of the time where you're trying working toward meaning you're not in the 80% you're not being useful so how about we stop ever saying oh there's something you need to be educated about if only you were as smart as me different words would be coming out of your mouth no how about you shut the up unless you have something useful to say is that okay now I'm completely open to what it is that I don't know and I think you've watched the show enough to watch me change on the fly when a comment comes in and says oh you forgot this or you you're not looking at this so do some of that and I'll I'll actually be happy for it but this you're so you're making yourself look ignorant I just figure you're a idiot that's the only that's the only impression I get when I see that comment it doesn't matter who it's coming from from anybody somebody here is saying that this is because I didn't get enough sleep last night you're so right you're so right I was telling the locals people I didn't get enough sleep last night that's mostly what this is about but it's still it's still bad form just just don't do it anyway so I think there should be some way to stop the uh illegal thing now if what you're going to say is Scott Scott you don't understand that the CIA and the government wants them to come in was that what you were waiting for did you think I didn't know that the government wants them to come in you oh you're probably just waiting for the second issue to drop no I know that there's way more than this of course I know that it must be your first day here anyway um have you seen the video I don't know how old it is I feel like it maybe has been around a while but um one of the hosts of The View Sunny H um was on that show where you find out who your relatives were your DNA gets checked and then they check your background and she found out that she was completely wrong about her own background she thought she was Puerto Rican or half Puerto Rican but turns out that might have been a Spanish part of the family from Spain and there were slave owners that's right Sunny Hosten of the view comes from a family of slave owners and watching her learn that she's from a family of slave owners was something I had to watch 20 times in a row I just kept playing it and replaying it because there was a part where she tried to laugh about it but but the smile and the laugh was so fake that it was just the hilariously uncomfortable you have to see it it's in my X feed if you're looking for it um so that was fun but uh even more fun than that uh apparently so they're now that I think there now have been three separate times in the last week I'll take a fact check on this three separate times in the last week when um when the view had to read a legal a legal disclaimer so apparently they had to do it four times in in yet in Friday's episode is that true Did did she have to stop four times and read uh a legal clarification I think she did it it's telling me that the lawyers for the uh the view just hate the hosts because the lawyers are probably trying to figure out how can we stop them saying things that are clearly going to get us in trouble and the host can't stop lying because their entire show is built around lying about what people did basically it's a show about lying about Republicans basically so if they can't lie about Republicans they don't have content because that's all they have so the lawyers like you can't just lie about their legal situation you maybe you could lie about reading their minds but you can't lie about whether they were convicted Ed of a crime you can't lie about that so uh so it looks like the the legal the legal staff is trying to put the view on a business like actually literally it looks like they're trying to force some am of business which might be what's happening um The New York Times has a article by Samuel Moon who's a lawyer now what's interesting is that this article is in the New York Times And as others have pointed out it seems like they're admitting that the lawfare against Trump was not based on the law but was lawfare so here's a sentence in the New York Times by Samuel Moon a lawyer he said it wasn't bad luck they did not put Trump in jail well I'm paraphrasing that part he said quote the more uncomfortable truth is that our search for political salvation primarily through the law has backfired let me read that again the more uncomfortable truth is that our search for political salvation primarily through the law has backfired is that admitting that they were using laware because they didn't have another way to stop Trump that's how I read it and others are reading it the same way and so I I appreciate that I I appreciate the the complete sincerity of that H now Mike Davis um you might know him as a republican with some legal background um he says even the liberal New York Times is admitting the Democrats rant lawfare and election interference against President Trump because I guess it would be election interference wouldn't it and he says uh now the uh Trump justice department should open a criminal probe under and he gives the the law and apparently there's some law that would be a conspiracy against rights a conspiracy against rights that sounds exactly like the right law doesn't it does it seem like there was a conspiracy of various elements in the government to prevent Trump from having the right to certain first of all be a free free Citizen and second of all to run for office I mean without being a lawyer if you tell me that there is a law that says you can't have a conspiracy to deny somebody their rights guaranteed under the Constitution the first thing I'd say is okay that seems like that should be a law shouldn't it I mean it should be a law so if it is a law how could you possibly imagine it doesn't apply here it would clearly apply and here's here's a Democrat lawyer who's saying well looks like the lawfare didn't work I feel like what happens after that has to be criminal indictments because if everybody can see it as plainly as we can you you got to at least dig around there and see if there's a case I think there might be but again I don't want to see any law fair and revenge it better be a better be a good case because we don't want to lawfare the law farers I know some of you want to but I don't think that's a good place to go um apparently uh there's a study that says 86% of us Asylum Seekers are not legitimate so I guess the federal government did a review of that now does that surprise you I thought it was higher actually I would have guessed 90 to 95% but um it's interesting that that we know about it and we just still keep this program Open The Way It Is it's I mean I think this gets back to that that earlier comment that it's super obvious that the government wants to just let in as many people as they can like to imagine that this is a mistake that would be imagining a lot it's not a mistake they're using a technical Le loophole to open the Border that's all that is um did you know that uh California is still counting the votes for 18 days we're still counting the votes and believe it or not uh Nancy Pelosi's daughter is involved in that and it's called curing ballots now I think that what what that means is if you have a ballot that looks like it filled out wrong or something's missing you have the option of calling the person and saying you know did you mean this is this a real vote Etc and then you can count it if you can confirm it's a real person with a real vote so they've been doing that for 18 days and it looks like they might flip two seats in Congress from red to blue because of 18 days of curing the votes you're going to feel comfortable with that 18 days of curing the votes yeah I see there's some kind of a fight going on on the comments here let's see what that that's all about I just want to take a look at what the what all the fightings about all right I can't see never mind well um Elon Musk is having a great time on X he seems quite addicted to it which he's admitted today and he asked this question he said how how old were you when you realized others couldn't see the Matrix so I'll ask that question to you how old were you when you realize others couldn't see the Matrix now the way the way I interpret that is that others how old were you when you realize that basically everything's a lie uh I went with 11 have I ever told you my story at age 11 I've written this in my book so some of you have seen you've heard this now I will start I'll start by saying that I'm pro- religion now I think you've heard me say that before I'm very Pro religion I think Christianity and not not to pick a favorite but just to pick one as an example um Christianity and others Judaism Etc they they have a a lot of um benefits for the people who practice it Islam if it's the you know if it's not if it's not related to any terrorists or anything if you just practicing it happily and minding your own business probably great so I'm very pro- religion I just don't have one because I don't think you can make yourself a Believer I I just don't have an ability to enter that space so when I was 11 years old and um my parents would send us to uh Sunday school it was called it was a Methodist church and we would go there and we'd learn all our little Sunday lessons and one day when I was about 11 the lesson was about um uh Jonah being uh swallowed by a whale or a giant fish I guess and he lived in the whale's stomach for a while but he prayed and and God saved him and the whale spit him up and he was none the worse for being in the whale or the big fish's stomach and uh I remember I called a with my mother cuz that's when I realized I was in The Matrix and I said um Mom now I'm paraphrasing because obviously I don't remember my exact words at 11 but it was something like um today I learned that a giant fish ate a guy and uh apparently the stomach acids of the fish weren't operating and this particular guy got out cuz he prayed to God and um and then I said Mom are you aware that this is all made up and she never answered me and I think I tried a few few times like but you know you know that these couldn't possibly be true stories right you you know that I read comic books you've seen it you you see me watching reading comic books what would be the evidence that Spider-Man exists that would be different from the EV you know so that's sort of the direction I went to her credit and then and then I said um I'm resigning from religion and at 11: I told my mother I wouldn't be participating anymore and to her credit to her Everlasting credit one of the greatest things she ever did she said okay and we never spoke about it again because I tried it if I never tried it then we would have had a longer conversation but the rule was you don't get to be a quitter no don't get to be a quitter if we put you in baseball you know if put you in little league and you don't like it the first two weeks you don't get to quit if you play for three years and decide you don't want to play a fourth year yeah yeah then you've tried it so the fact that I'd already gone to Sunday school for now what I five years or something and that i' had worked it through and I had an argument and I had a position and I called the meeting and I st down my position and she said okay never talked about it again and by the way I never even learned what my parents religious beliefs were still don't they never talked about it I mean they attended a little bit of the church activities but they weren't regulars or anything anyway anyway so so I call that the Matrix now of course it was a very long trip to find out that all of the news is fake and most of the science is fake too and that everything we learn about history is made up now that took a longer but once I realize there something kind of basic could be just a story that people tell now if you prefer and say but Scott you're wrong because the Christian religion is all correct you would certainly agree that all the other religions are wrong so it ends up being kind of the same point if you you know you just might think you got the right one anyway here's a matrix example um in The Matrix uh do you remember why Tulsi gabard is was being called a Russian asset and still is by some of the Democrats that came from Hillary Clinton Hillary Clinton also of course tried to make make uh Trump the Russian asset I I think Hillary's calling card is she always tries to get a twofer so Hillary hates Russia and Putin and often she'll hate somebody else so if she hates somebody else she'll just say that they're a Putin puppet so that you can take out the person that you hate but also keep the pressure on Putin so apparently she did that trick the same trick that she did on Trump she tried on Tulsi gabard and that's part of the Matrix so if if you're a Democrat and you think that the news is real and somebody like Hillary Clinton says honest things then you think oh I guess I know what's going on now look at all these Russian puppets but if you know you're in The Matrix and you know that nothing that public figures say should be taken as true then you go oh that's just Hillary Clinton doing what Hillary Clinton always does oh Hillary Clinton always says somebody's a a Putin puppet so no I wouldn't worry about telsy gabard um I saw a conversation on X in which people were saying uh were disagreeing with somebody who said we should vet people and make sure that we're letting in immigrants who are you know not criminals and can add something it turns out there are a number of people who in the comments said very clearly that all immigration is bad and the reason is that they're coming in from other countries and other races and cultures and they're going to you know outnumber the people who are here eventually and then put pressure on the people are here who will become I think it's mostly white people who are worried about being minorities and I was saying that uh economists should decide who comes in and what kind of people come in and what numbers and I I still believe that but a number of people disagreed with me and said that all that all of the uh immigration is bad and then somebody said oh look at how much I'm being dunked on in the comments so I looked at the comments and I thought how would anybody dunk on that to the best of my knowledge 100% of economists from both sides are on the same page which is that there is some number of immigrants that's good for the country and there's some number that would be too much am I wrong about that that 100% of economists would agree they might they might disagree on the number and even the type but they would all agree with the concept that there's something as something that would be called too few especially since we're not reproducing at the rate of replacement and there is something that would be too much I don't think that's even controversial but other people were saying no it's basically just race they just don't want to be outnumbered by High qualified people or low-qualified people and there was a disagreement because I said everybody's better off if the economy is good because we brought in people who could do good things now I'm going to double down on my comment if we didn't have immigration you wouldn't have Elon Musk you wouldn't have aake I mean I I think maybe his parents um right you you wouldn't have most of Silicon Valley do you know how many how many uh unicorns were made by uh people who were not born in the United States maybe it's more obvious when you live where I live because I'm you know sort of Silicon Valley adjacent so I'm mired in that population but immigration is really really important to America keeping its economic lead and if you think that you could take a hit on the economy and you'd still be okay I don't think you're thinking this through there's a reason that every Economist thinks that some amount of immigration is good every everyone so uh I think some people think that they specifically would have some negative outcome but again that has to do with the rate if you suddenly said let's bring in uh uh a 100 million people for from India without checking him out that would be too much too much if you said can we skim the smartest brightest people from their you know their best institutions who want to work in America yes please let's let's let's see if we can get as many of those as we can you know let's see if we can get as many German scientists after World War II as we can we really do need the best we need that pretty badly so I'll agree with you that there's some amount of anything that's too much but no you can't you can't not have immigration and expect the country to remain prosperous uh well Elon Musk also making news because he said that even Mayors will be arrested for stopping Mass deportations because he said that anybody who's trying to you know Aid and ab bet the illegal immigrants is going to have some some questions to answer and he says that even Mayors could be arrested and I think the was it the mayor of Denver who almost immediately said well I probably wouldn't try to stop it I didn't see that story too closely but there's some mayor who did a little backtracking but I agree with this I agree that mayor should be put in jail if they try to stop the federal government from doing what is legally authorized and I would argue is mandated by the election so yes I think a mayor should go to jail if they get in the way now I don't know if they should stay in jail but you know maybe you need to put them in there overnight while you do your deportations or something but you know I I I'm not I'm not in favor of law fair no lawfare but we have to get the job done anyway um Patrick Bet David was having a good time uh mocking CNN and MSNBC um apparently the Hallmark Channel beat them both in in uh in viewership recently and uh Patrick B David says quote imagine you wake up one day and your producer comes to you says guys Hallmark just beat us to which I say well being the third best of fiction isn't that bad is it see because Hallmark is fiction and CNN and MSNBC or fake news so they really are direct comp competition what would happen if they had real news and then Hallmark continueed doing fiction although Hallmark does some real stories sometimes don't they well I think it's pretty funny now I do think that their viewership will rise again when Trump takes power because they'll have something to attack and people who want to hear it at the moment I think everybody's weepy because they found out they were on the losing side and their team all lied to them but they'll get over it and uh I think they'll get back at least half of what they lost in audience in the last few months it'll be after the holidays maybe everything's slower over the holidays anyway um so Glennon Greenwald is always good at reminding us which networks are associated with the CIA and he he says uh how Cor corporate media like CNN is nothing but a blind mouthpiece for the CIA and he gives this example that CNN's Katie bis she was going after Tulsi gabard because Tulsi had once supported limits on NSA domestic spying and uh about something about Edward Snowden so and then uh Greenwald points out that uh Katy boellis Bolis uh repeat ly slips in quote intelligent sources tell us to maintain the facade of neutrality if you hear the if you hear intelligent sources tell us what should you do with that story not believe it intelligent sources are they're the professional Liars if you're an intelligent Source you're allowed to lie it's actually right there in your job description it's not even you know it's not even immoral or unethical it's their job it's their job to lie to anybody they need to lie to to get the job done so yes it does look like CNN's got a little little influence there from the quote intelligent sources I don't believe any any non-name sources um I'm seeing it was an article saying progressives need a new leader how in the world are they going to do that um so this is one one spokesperson in the uh Democrat Party um they think that the was at least one thinks that the uh Progressive left is better without a dominant figurehead so the so the Democrats don't have an obvious leader now it seems like Obama will still emerge at some point but at the moment he's quiet because he he's on the losing team um and then there's another view that instead of having no dominant leader which by the way is a losing proposition if you're ever if you're ever involved in a organization who says well I don't think we need a dominant figurehead we probably need to you know just share the power you should quit immediately because literally nothing works if you don't have a you know a powerful leader now the powerful leader should certainly be taking you know lots of Clues from the people being led that's what Trump does but you still need the powerful figure ad to get anything done you can't share power that's never going to work um and then somebody else saying that uh this is my favorite one um the Democrats need an opposite and equal force in terms of celebrity somebody named Turner said so imagine them saying okay we figured out what we did wrong Trump was such a good candidate such a powerful strong you know almost like a cult leader persuasion capabilities that if they could come up with their own celebrity powerful charismatic person that they could win elections too so two other theories are we should not have anybody like that and then the other theory is w we need somebody just like that so when I say that the Democrats are lost oh wow are they lost they are so lost that it's almost like the people who know how anything Works already became Republicans so there's nobody left who can figure out easy stuff you know just basic easy strategy stuff and anyway I'm starting to think that there are no Democrats who have the skill to fix this and if they're trying to figure out why does it work for the Republicans but not us do you think I should tell them do do you know why the Republicans got a bigger tent and they gained in every single category does anybody know why uh I'm going to give away the secret because Republicans focused on the Constitution the law the religion in many cases and an emphasis on family if you know those things which category of uh human beings don't like it none every category of human beings likes that oh you've got a very clear set of rules that were made by people they lasted hundreds of years oh let's just follow these rules and then everybody will be good so the Republicans have created probably by accident as much as anything well obviously the Constitution is intentional but even when the Constitution was written it wasn't wasn't exactly an egalitarian document uh but it became one over time and it seems to me that the Republicans have created a a big tent vacuum cleaner meaning that if you get anywhere near the big tent you hear this noise you know a vacuum cleaner coming on and you just you get sucked in and then when you're on the inside all those people you thought were horrible racists they're offering hey how can I help you you know can I can I uh remove the snow from your driveway I got a few minutes and you learned that everything that you knew about the Republicans was wrong and that as long as you follow the rul rules that they follow they love you they love you you just have to follow the same rules that's it it's easy but the progressives are over there trying to decide huh should we be progressives should we be more Dei and and really identity politics or should we be more like Bernie or or what those are all they're not even the right questions if if they're they're talking about personnel Republicans are talking about process one is system one is goal the system is going to beat the goal every time so if the if the Democrats don't figure out how to create a system which they don't have they can't beat the system so here's what I mean um republ so Democrats have a goal of having power and everybody gets this Equity stuff yeah everybody does well that's a goal it's a pretty good goal right of course they want Power they think they're the good guys they want everybody to do well good goals then you look at the Republicans they have systems hey we got to make sure we're following this Constitution and that's why we got to make sure that the Supreme Court is filled with what we call the originalists the people who are going to follow the Constitution The Way It Was Written not make up stuff that's the system that system among other things caused uh the the abortion question to be sent to the states how' that work out well it worked out really well for Republicans because it kind of took it off the table for the federal election which was a better system and at the same time the local people in the states have you know majority female voters in almost every state so they can kind of get what they want over time that's a system the goal was for them to get all the abortion rights they wanted right away they will get all the abortion rights they want in each state eventually the system will work through it and they'll get exactly what they want but um the system of just making sure you're picking meritocracy you're following the law you're following the Constitution um and that you're actually doing a primary that's another system mistake right so the Republicans said we're going to have a competitive primary and they did the Democrats said um we'll just push this dying guy through uh no we'll replace him uh no you know there's no system so the system people are going to just absolutely dominate the goal people I think forever I mean unless one of them changes completely this is a this is a permanent dominant situation and the fun part is that the Democrats can't figure it out because they're locked in an identity world you know they're they're locked in their own form of the Matrix in their Matrix there's identity and that matters and then there's bad Republicans if that's how they frame the world they can't ever get a solution so I would expect it to be kind of a bad time to be a Democrat for a few few years um former Obama speech writer Roso Keefe according to Washington examiner uh says that the celebrity endorsements are good for Democrats and but is careful to say and here's where I respect this opinion because at first I thought that's dumb but then when I read that Nuance the Nuance is that nobody really changes their opinion because of the celebrities but you might get people more interested in showing up to vote you if if it if it improves Your Enthusiasm okay maybe but nobody changed their vote because Beyonce so I agree with the Democrat um speech writer okay yeah the the celebrities are not changing votes but maybe they give you some energy however I would note that both sides use celebrities right so they both used every celebrity they could get um Trump did it too but what was different about the way what was different about the way that Trump did it Trump used celebrities too but what was different here's what I think was different Trump's celebrities were often people that look like Democrats so when you see Joe Rogan who's got a long history of progressive Democrat looking opinions sayou know what I'm going Trump you've got uh professional athletes especially professional male black athletes putting on the hat and saying you know what I I've listened to both arguments going Trump uh you watch the um you know all the UFC fighter types uh every different race and religion and you see how much they love Trump and you say to yourself huh that's a lot of people who like Trump all different kinds here's how Trump did it when I look at Trump's celebrity endorsements here's what I say big tent Big Tent hey it's a big tent and uh you're welcome everybody's welcome when the when the democ rats put a celebrity on they're going to tell you that the uh Republicans are and you should try to crush them stay away from and basically that you're the good people and the other people are and and people are like well I'm not so sure because my neighbor is a Republican and he just mowed my lawn for free like but you telling me he's bad like how's that work so I think that Trump quietly just quietly doing what makes sense Common Sense uh attracted people from every domain who appreciate Common Sense such as having border control so so you get some Joe Rogan you get your RFK Juniors you get you know you get your uh your Tulsi and suddenly it's hard not to notice that everybody who likes Common Sense Solutions seems to be moving toward Trump and it doesn't matter what their color or race or religion is and I think that Trump did it the right way so he used the celebrity endorsements as evidence that it's safe his biggest problem was making it safe to say that you're on his team and that's what the celebrity endorsements did and by the way that wasn't that wasn't Trump making it happen that I I've said this before that I think the I think the public dragged Trump across the winning line the Finish Line I don't think he pushed himself over I mean he did a great job so not taking nothing away from Trump's performance it was amazing one of the best you've ever seen but still it took people taking big risks in their personal and professional lives to say you know what I'm putting this hat on and you know musk was the biggest one the biggest risk maybe will'll be the biggest winner but uh when you watch other people take a big risk like that it's it's very inspiring so I think Trump used it the right way by kind of ignoring it and letting it happen on its own and then it formed on its own and then it helped drag him across the the winning Finish Line anyway um so um the DNC Vice chair according to the hill uh Ken Martin he criticized the party for losing and he said quote we don't know how or why we lost now that's the most honest person like he's he's the one I'd listen to because he goes on I think he was on uh might have been news Nation no he was on CNN with Jake Tapper and he said this directly this is a direct quote we don't know how or why we lost now that is exactly right because I'm observing that everybody's speculating like maybe we should have done this maybe we should have done that but when you put all that speculation together the summary is we don't know how or why and I don't think that they can find it because think of the irony of this so this is the DNC Vice chair and he's appearing on CNN and he's talking to Jake Tapper and he's saying we don't know how or why we lost he's on CNN he's talking to Jake Tapper people get the news from CNN and Jake Tapper the CNN decided what people saw and MSNBC decided what people saw so it almost didn't matter what the Democrats were doing if there's somebody else who decides what people see so I don't think that he was quite realizing the irony that he was talking to the problem Jake Tapper now not specifically Jake Tapper but CNN so if you appear on CNN you say I don't know why we lost and CNN is you know one of the primary formers of your message I think maybe you should turn a little bit of that scrutiny on the media and say maybe it's the person I'm talking to maybe if you had not pushed the um fine people hoax which Jake Tapper did maybe people wouldn't be leaving for that reason some of the most important people who left the party say directly it was and they say it out loud is because when I found out the fine people hoax was a hoax that's when the whole Matrix opened up and you know I could see that the Democrats were just lying so Jake Tapper was part of a big part of pushing that and other hoaxes if you can't recognize that the media is the ones causing them the Democrats to fail how could they possibly recover and they can't tell the media that the media is the problem because then the media won't invite them to be on anymore it's an unsolvable problem yeah I I can't see any system or tweak or or anything the the only way you could solve this problem is replacing all of the people at the same time and of course there isn't any way to do that all right um Colin rug had a little uh video and a post on X about uh Washington Post is Jennifer Rubin she was mocking trumps because his nominations were too white and she said when they looked at the the page of the nominations there were a thousand shades of white haa um she said I have I have to comment when he put up all those faces it was a thousand shades of white have you noticed that well um I'd like to do a call out to one of my followers Mike Bert Mike Bert what are you going to say about that that's sort of an inside joke right we we have a uh uh within locals I've authorized uh one person to be inappropriate as much as he wants you know not too bad but so we we have one Court Jester who's allowed to say the things you really shouldn't be saying but we've allowed one person to do it because it's actually fascinating if you cut yourself off from the opinions that differ from you you're not going to understand the Nuance but um this was funny for reasons that you won't totally understand but um I would note that uh they're not entirely white uh I think there are some asian-americans there are some other flavors and there's some Hispanic Americans I think there's at least one um some Middle Eastern American type um and Scott Turner was selected for head of Hud so HUD has a a black guy who was U part of the executive team over there I guess and he's got a good resume now what do you think do do you think that the HUD appointment was a Dei appointment just so he could just so Trump could say Well they're not 100% white well I don't know I don't know I also don't know if HUD needs to exist can anybody tell me why HUD exists is there anything the HUD does that couldn't be replaced by something far more efficient I think they have tens of billions of dollars of funding that they um that they kind of allocate but couldn't that be allocated more locally so here here's my take on what's wrong with um every Urban Development problem so somebody says if only there were a big bunch of money and then somebody says all right here's your here's your big bunch of money from the government and then it's allocated to people who apparently just steal most of it how do you stop that so if you have a system that's good at producing money and delivering it but then once it gets delivered it's stolen somewhat reliably or it's given to the wrong vendors who can't can't get the job done you're never really going to fix it so it seems like that what we need is to fix the funding oversight uh I feel like the decision of how to spend money locally should be not in the hands of the elected representatives and I know that sounds opposite of what makes sense but if if a small City can elect a mayor who then can you know make sure that the contracts go to their brother-in-law and anybody else who's going to give them a kickback we don't have a workable system see that's system problem again so what I like to see is V and Elon coming up with maybe some ideas collectively for how we can make sure that if money is sent to an urban place for urban development that it just doesn't get stolen because if you don't fix that there's no point in giving anybody any money for anything and I also worry that um Republicans maybe have written off the inner cities because they're not getting many votes there and I don't think you can fix it it doesn't look fixable to me see the trouble is if you put too many people who have too many problems in one place I don't know that you can ever fix it you would have to move the people which would be illegal and if they don't want to move then how's that going to work mean I I think you could take if you took let's say a teenager who's in this bad environment there's gangs and there's crime and there's you know the schools are bad and everything if you took that one teenager and say all right let's see let's see what happens if we put this one teenager in a safe place with a good school and no gangs probably you'd get a good pretty good outcome but if they're if but if everybody is in this one place and they all have the similar problems they're not going to feel like they have to escape because they're just sort of living the same life as everybody around them and I don't know that that's flexible I mean you almost have to distribute the people who are in the same bad situation so they don't reinforce each other's bad habits yeah you you've heard you've heard the thing you are the average of your five closest friends right what happens if you live where your five closest friends are gang members do you really have a do you have a chance not really so how much money could you send into that situation to fix it there's no amount there there's no amount that fixes that in fact the more money the worse it would get so you going have to fix the five friends problem first and I don't know how the only thing I could think of would be a massive Improvement in mobility and the mobility would have to include can you go some somewhere can you afford to move can you get a job if you go there and can you and do you have enough school choice that you can you move at least the school so if you could move the options for any one person to say you know what I need to get where I can get five good friends around my teenage kid and maybe those friends will influence them now that would be a real solution but sending money no I mean I if if Trump decided that HUD didn't really have a future I wouldn't be surprised anyway um I saw chamoth talking about uh on the all-in Pod chth I think I say his name wrong it's chth right and then I never try to say his last name because I'll just embarrass myself but it's like pelipa Jason are you watching if Jason is watching you're laughing at me right now there's some names that I really try hard like every time I read his name jamaat's last name I read it and I sound it out and then I try to memorize the order of the letters and stuff never works it doesn't last a day anyway but chamal said can you imagine if these guys you talking about the people working on Doge can you imagine if these guys basically use Doge as a mechanism to shrink the the tax code create a flat tax potentially uh the idea of just cutting this all the way down and finding through that the process of what they actually need and he says I think America could uh could get 100 to 200 basis points of GDP growth it could be an economic Renaissance I agree um now I don't think flat tax school ever work in America there's just no way because it's good for rich people it's bad for poor people no way you're never going to get a flat tax so just forget about it right I mean it's great to talk about but you're never going to get a fla tax um however if you could reduce your taxes and you know make make sure the taxes have the right incentive and you get it down to a minimum and you cut the cost of the government so you don't need as much taxes could you get 100 to 200 basis points meaning that instead of growing by 3.5 you would grow at 5.5 which would be incredible yes yes I think you could do that is it hard oh my God it's hard is it possible I think it is and so I have the same intuition as jth uh less uh less Faith than a flat tax could ever even be you know within a mile of being uh viable and I just think that's because our the way our brains work we wouldn't we just couldn't handle it flat tax would just make everybody complain too much good for rich people um so now we know much more about the January 6 and that the National Guard was delayed 3 hours and 19 minutes when everybody knew that there was going to be a problem and uh it looks like we got real problem so Chief Steven Sun um who who was at I guess who was in Char of the capital police and uh he's noting that we now know that there was this three over three-hour delay and if they had sent the reinforcements it would have looked completely different does it look to you like the delay was intentional to make the Optics as bad as possible maybe you know you can't rule out incompetence but it certainly has the look of an OP and you can't ignore that so certainly the January 6 committee are the uh at the top of my list of people we need to be looked at to see if there was a crime there now I don't believe in law fair has to be a real crime but if they were hiding evidence and lying under oath or any of that stuff these are really bad consequences I mean what happened to the country people in jail for it um if there's nobody on the January 6 committee that ends up in jail I feel like I'd be disappointed but if they didn't create if they didn't break a law that's the way it's got to be uh anyway California is making it harder to produce gas in California so we're we're all dead forget about that um so the story about Biden doing this last ditch effort to send all the money they have to Ukraine was it Anthony blinkin said President Biden has committed to make sure that every dollar we have at our disposal will be pushed out the door between now and January 20th so that really doesn't sound like somebody who's taking care of America does it we're going to make sure that we push every one of your dollars out the door before the government changes that doesn't sound like they're on our side it really doesn't so I mean there's a tone problem there but the way it's Being Framed is that these moves are designed to make sure that Ukraine is in the strongest possible negotiating position when Trump takes over really really is that why they're pushing all that money through right now it's to it's to help Trump get a get a good outcome is that why I don't think so I don't think so no I think that there's a massive money laundering operation and they're put pushing as much money through it so they can suck as much out of it as they can and basically robbing Ukraine and robbing the United States while they leave office that's what it looks like that's what it feels like I don't have any proof but sure looks and feels like it's a money laundering money stealing operation but nonetheless it could be true that it would keep Ukraine strong enough to negotiate well as well so that's good all right that's all I got for you for my prepared remarks today I'm going to go talk to the to the people on locals who haven't yet banned me and uh I will see the rest of you on U on Rumble and You.

Tube and X tomorrow same time same place and we'll have fun again thanks for joining and locals coming at you privately in 30 seconds e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e for

showing you once again that some live

streamers don't take days off

no

sometimes you just have to power through

it and just make sure my comments are

working

here yes they

are and that means an incredible show is

ahead of you

[Music]

good morning everybody and welcome to

the highlight of human

civilization probably the best day

you'll ever have in your life but if

you'd like to take this experience up to

levels that nobody can even understand

with their tiny shiny human brains all

you need for that is a cuper muger glass

a tanker CH Stein a canteen Jugger flask

a vessel of any kind fill it with your

favorite liquid ey like coffee and join

me now for the unparallel pleasure the

dopamine end of the day the thing makes

everything better it's called the

simultaneous Sip and it happens

now oh

perfect yeah it's just

perfect well good news researchers from

China and Brazil have finally given us

the invention we need it's a robot dog

that can search for fire

ants so if you have a big problem with

fire

ants you've got a robot dog Solution

that's coming that can recognize fire

ants and do what with them I don't know

just spot them I guess so you can go

kill them now what I want is a robo dog

that can pick

weeds and also pick vegetables and stuff

from a

garden so what I want to have is uh on

the side of my house want to have a

little uh little hot house you know

Greenhouse kind of thing and I want to

have two or three little robots that

have access to everything that can climb

up and pick stuff and get rid of weeds

and water things and check for problems

and it'd be smarter than I am right if I

looked at the leaf and it was dying I

wouldn't know why but AI would know why

and then it could go fix it so in theory

I could have my own little mini garden

with a little mini Gardener and every

day I'd just go in there and there'd be

a basket of whatever the latest Harvest

was and then I give it to my robot chef

and my robot Chef would cook it up for

me and I would just have the best food

from

robots that's the future well meanwhile

uh at the

MIT according to Adam zi he has an

article on that that MIT has developed

some noise cancelling

silk so it's a sort of a fabric material

that has two different elements to it at

least two there are two different

aspects to it both of them will reduce

sound and I'm thinking to myself if you

could make a piece of silk that people

could stick in their ears and not hear

their partner

snoring now you've got something I don't

know if that's ever going to happen but

if this silk

can cancel

noise um it sure seems like you could

make some mirror plugs out of it and

that would change

everything do you know the one of the

biggest secrets in America and I'm

guessing it's the same in other

countries is the number of married

people who can't sleep in the same room

it just isn't possible because one of

them snores you really can't sleep with

a

snorer I learned that the hard way by

being the snorer yeah nobody wants to

sleep with a

snore anyway here's a funny story

according to uh the Atlantic Daniel

engber is writing that um there's this

business school scandal that just keeps

getting bigger and the Scandal is

professors at the business school uh

writing academic papers that are

fraudulent let's see uh what what

terrible business school has that I mean

I'd sure hate to have a degree can you

imagine can you imagine having a degree

for one of these gray business schools

that you find out the professors are all

a bunch of

uh see what business school was it it

was uh it was oh was the UC B uh oh the

UC Berkeley H School of

Business okay that's where I have my MBA

but the jokes on them because also I

disown them um for being racist already

so I don't have to disown them for also

being having professors who

are who are big

Liars I I I already disavowed them for

being

racist oh poor hos business

school anyway there was one professor in

particular who's uh just racking up the

fake the fake studies and got

caught uh according to the New York

Post um G gun ownership has soared among

Republican

women uh but it's declined among

Democrat

men so so there are fewer Democrat men

with guns and there are more Republican

women with guns than there were

recently I by surprised by that I I

actually thought everybody would have

more guns but apparently the the men

have decided they don't need them but

the Republican women are

strapped so since 2019 33% of GOP ladies

have been packing heat is that

true is that true that onethird of

Republican women uh are gun

owners that's way more than I thought I

would guess

10% it's pretty impressive that's up

from

22% uh you know a few years earlier than

that pretty

impressive meanwhile in cost the

creepiest of all scientific

studies are you ready for the creepiest

of all scientific studies I I almost

wasn't even going to talk about it but I

I I think I can do it without going to

jail

uh so there was a

study Eric Dolan is writing about this

in cost so as a study published in

complimentary therapies and clinical

practices which of course you all read

that uh children who have

ADHD uh can be benefited by

massage so they made sure they had very

professional this is key professional

massage therapists and it didn't say so

in the study but I'm going to like to

think that they were closely monitored

by

observers because I hate to think that

they were putting a bunch of children

behind a closed door with a massage

therapist I hope that didn't happen but

assuming that they were properly

supervised and there was nothing Inky

about the experiment itself what they

believe they found is that the kids who

got regular massage therapy slept better

and concentrated and did better in

school now do you know who would have

guessed that without a

study I would do you know why I think

this

worked

because here here's just a

speculation I feel like there's

something about ADHD that we don't fully

understand well I guess that's an

understatement I think everybody would

agree with that but

if you're

distracted and maybe I'm just speaking

for

myself it's because there's something

you're looking for that you need that

you don't

have now that's my take that's this is

not agreeing with any scientists or

anything I I have no idea what the

scientists say but my take whenever I'm

distracted is not so much that there's

just too much in my head it's that I'm

aware that there's something I need that

I don't have and I'm looking for it but

I don't know what it is so I don't know

if I have it yet so I'm just sort of

looking all the time but what I've

discovered is and I told you this before

that if I get like a good exercise and

it it fulfills my I don't know my body's

chemical needs then my brain is fine

then my brain calms down so are you

surprised that a massage which would

have similar benefits to getting some

good exercise would also calm the brain

it should

but I would also add this second thing

in my own

experience that when I've got a good

dose of oxytocin which you can only get

from physical contact with other humans

that I don't need much

else so if you give me oxytocin I'm not

immediately thinking about working

harder or exercising or solving a

problem I actually have everything I

want I just sit there thinking oh it's a

good day I've got everything I want

glass of water it's all I need so what

I'm wondering is did the massage therapy

give the youngsters some oxytocin that

feel good I've got everything I need

chem chemistry and that's all it was so

that's my hypothesis is that it wasn't

the physical

manipulation uh or the relaxing although

that should have helped because it

pretty much helps with with everything

so if it didn't help I'd be surprised

but maybe the bigger thing is that

people don't have enough

oxytocin so here's what I would study to

find out I take a bunch of kids who have

ADHD and then I would ask them questions

like when was the last time you got

hugged huh cuz I'll bet you'll find that

the kids with ADHD probably get hugged

less and they they had less oxytocin

just a gas it's speculation pure

speculation all right I see a weird meme

going by with oh Dilbert and a Tesla

okay anyway

um uh there's a topic I don't know if I

want to talk

about but I might

yeah I'm going to just going to go for

it so I wasn't going to talk about this

but I will so somebody that I don't know

who is uh says they fans of Dill bird

and fans of mine have created a

crypto uh that I guess is called a

Dilbert and they've asked me to promote

it I'm not doing that I'm asking them to

take it down and dismantle it if there's

any way to do that I don't know if you

can reverse it here's why well on one

hand I take it as a great compliment

that somebody wanted to you know boost

dilbur somehow and boost me and their

fans you can't create a sketchy

Financial product and Associate it with

my name and my brand and then push me to

to boost

it do you understand that you put me at

great financial and other risk because

if other people see the Dilbert name on

it they're going to say well that's

probably endorsed by Scott and therefore

it's probably safe he probably looked

into it I did not look into it and I

have no idea that it is safe and I'm not

even sure who's behind it so uh so no I

do not endorse it and I need it to be

taken down and dismantled immediately

because I don't want to be in a position

where my reputation in my brand is

writing on the good work and honesty of

people I've never met in in the in the

sketchiest of all Realms the you know

the shitcoin crypto area so if you would

please stop spamming my uh all of my

comments on X and on my live streams

trying to get people to buy this token I

I will advise everybody who's listening

do not buy this token and if you did I'm

sorry but I had nothing to do with it

and it would be a huge mistake to be

involved with it in any way now if it

turned out that it's completely unthe

legit and somebody was just just doing

me a favor it doesn't change my

response because you don't get to decide

what I'm associated with right it's not

your decision that I'm associated with

this financial product my decision is

I'm going to sue the out of you if

you don't take it down because I I can't

I can't abide with that being up right

so you need to dismantle it and if if

you're just fans then no hard feelings

if you didn't know I will I will accept

I will accept a I didn't know that was

going to be a problem that would be

perfectly acceptable I just can't have

it exist so you need to get rid of it

got

that all right so I didn't even want to

talk about it but um stay away from that

thing all right

um pursue here's a study from Gilmore

Health

news pursuing happiness as a goal often

fails to make people happier here's why

I think that makes

sense the reason you can't pursue

happiness

is it's not a thing you can't pursue

happiness you could pursue a wild animal

you could pursue a ball that's rolling

down a hill you could pursue a car you

could pursue a dog because those are all

real but happiness you can't pursue you

could end up

happy but you can't pursue

happiness there are two things you can

pursue that'll get there you can pursue

meaning meaning so you're doing

something that's helpful to other people

usually it's usually being useful you're

either having children and you're doing

a good job of being a parent or you're

doing a job that's important to the

world or you inventing something or you

doing what Elon Musk is doing trying to

save the world from debt and or at least

the country and those could give you

meaning but if the only thing you did

were hard work

it wouldn't make you very happy either

because you'd just be burned out and

wouldn't be much left of you

so here's the Scott formula for

happiness you can't chase it don't chase

it but you can let it happen by doing

other things that are right so I would

say you want to spend about 80% of your

time chasing meaning now that could

include the time it takes you to tie

your shoes and put your clothes on and

shave in the morning or put your hair

together because that's all important to

getting anything done but the 80% should

be making sure that it's directed at

some kind of useful something now if

you're

young um you don't have as many

opportunities so I would say if you're

if you're on a dating app and you're

trying to date and you know your your

ambition is to someday have a family

that's great then dating dating is

exactly what you should be doing even if

it doesn't look like this specific data

is working out you're chasing meaning

that's still

good if you're chasing meaning 80% of

the time and then 20% of the time you're

chasing

pleasure you're going to be

fine if you chased pleasure 80% of the

time you're going to be Dan B Bilzerian

and eventually say you know what turns

out that sleeping with five women A Day

Made Me a lot of pleasure but not a lot

of Happiness so he's trying to figure

out the happiness part now so 8020 is

your is your best Target

80% trying to either be part of creating

more people you know which is good for

the world or doing something something

useful and 20% Pure Pleasure now if you

don't get your 20% pure pleasure you

won't you just will fall apart we just

require some pleasure every day if you

get too much you won't be happy if you

get too little you won't be happy happy

8020 is a good mix adjust

accordingly well apparently according

Mario n is reporting on this there's a

some according to Science Daily there

are ancient hot springs on Mars that

reveal that the planet might have been

once

habitable wouldn't it be cool to find

out that there was a whole civilization

on

Mars and that they built the

pyramids here's my here's my hypothesis

on the pyramids you ready for

this um everything about the pyramids is

just recreational belief I don't know

what happened I don't know why it seemed

like all these ancient civilizations

could build these giant structures and

others couldn't but here's one

possibility that the aliens from Mars or

somewhere else who were very Advanced um

got stranded on Earth so they didn't

have the technology to get off of Earth

and get home but they thought that

someday they'd like to be found so they

used the technology they had to build

the pyramids because the pyramids are

the uh the proof that high intelligence

existed on earth a long time ago and you

could see are from a very long distance

so if they wanted to say well if

somebody can find me someday I will

arrange these pyramids in the shape of

the star system I came from and then if

somebody looks and go say hey wait

there's three artificial things oh hold

on they're in the shape of the star

system from us there's no way these must

be our people let's go get them so it

could be that this that the pyramids are

a uh a help

signal you know just just something that

can be seen from a very far distance

from a very Advanced civilization to say

whoa we better go pick those guys up of

course they're long dead so it's too

late just speculation

all right uh here's something I liked

hearing from VI

ramaswami um he's saying that healthc

care is a critical Frontier for Doge the

department of government efficiency and

he met with some of the other incoming

appointees from in the Trump

Administration he says they're serious

about reducing cost and here's the

important part he said they understand

Innovation is a key part of the

solution Innovation is a key part of the

solution

that's what I want to hear because if

you tell me you're just going to cut my

costs I don't want to hear that because

you probably can't do it if you tell me

you can restructure it re-engineer it

you know rethink it in a way that you

could almost you know make your

assumptions from from scratch and build

it up and that you could do it at a far

lower cost I think you

could I'll bet you could you know I

spend a lot of time just way too much

time thinking about ways you could lower

health care

costs and it turns out that the hard

part is that 90% of the healthare costs

come in your your last year of

life

and if you don't fix that you can't

really fix health care costs and I don't

know if anybody has any great idea for

that except for you know doctor

assistant suicide and I don't think

we're going to go big for that so I

don't have any ideas but I hope somebody

does um here's a question question in

the publication in Red State Ward Clark

is writing about how there are these

Soros back

Charities that are really working hard

to help illegal immigrants get into the

United

States and here's my

question how could it be that there are

public

entities that are backed by Soros that

are not hiding you know there's no

secret about it that are aiding and

beding illegal acts in the United States

specifically illegal entry um as a

non-citizen

now my first question is is there not

some

normal mechanism by which this could be

shut down how is it not illegal to Aid

in the bed in a

crime is there some kind of crime you

can help somebody do and you're not in

trouble does does operating from another

soil make you safe if you're doing it

from another country is that enough to

not be illegal and and if it's

legal why why is our CIA not having them

assassinated because isn't that what we

pay them to

do if there was some entity that was not

in the United States or even if they

were and they were trying to do

something that was terribly damaging to

the United States and we couldn't do

anything

legally wouldn't we be sell sending our

worst people off to kill those people

because that's how you protect the

United States I mean if you look at all

the horrible things the United States

has done under the umbrella of

self-defense this would be the smallest

thing we've ever done to stop people

from sending criminals into our country

criminals in the sense that you know

they're not going through the legal

system I'm not I'm not trying to say

anything bad about the immigrants the

immigrants I completely understand uh

and I'll say this I guess I'll say this

as plainly as I can if I were in their

position I would try to get into the

United States

illegally so in that same position I

would break the law I wouldn't feel I

wouldn't feel

any I wouldn't feel any guilt about it

because I'm just trying to make things

better for myself and my family so yeah

but it's still legal doesn't mean we can

be for

it Scott this just makes you sound

uninformed well you you

could use some of those letters to say

what it was I was missing or you could

just be one of those dicks who just say

you sound uninformed which helps

nobody so while you're being useless and

rude

and

disruptive great job there so you know

that 80% of the time where you're trying

working toward meaning you're not in the

80% you're not being useful so how about

we stop ever saying oh there's something

you need to be educated about if only

you were as smart as me different words

would be coming out of your

mouth no how about you shut the up

unless you have something useful to

say is that okay now I'm completely open

to what it is that I don't know and I

think you've watched the show enough to

watch me change on the fly when a

comment comes in and says oh you forgot

this or you you're not looking at this

so do some of that and I'll I'll

actually be happy for it but this you're

so you're making yourself look ignorant

I just figure you're a idiot

that's the only that's the only

impression I get when I see that comment

it doesn't matter who it's coming from

from

anybody somebody here is saying that

this is because I didn't get enough

sleep last night you're so

right you're so right I was telling the

locals people I didn't get enough sleep

last

night that's mostly what this is

about but it's still it's still bad

form just just don't do

it anyway so I think there should be

some way to stop the uh illegal thing

now if what you're going to say is Scott

Scott you don't understand that the CIA

and the government wants them to come in

was that what you were waiting for did

you think I didn't know that the

government wants them to come in you oh

you're probably just waiting for the

second issue to drop no I know that

there's way more than this of course I

know that it must be your first day

here anyway um have you seen the video I

don't know how old it is I feel like it

maybe has been around a while but um one

of the hosts of The View Sunny

H um was on that show where you find out

who your relatives were your DNA gets

checked and then they check your

background and she found out that she

was completely wrong about her own

background she thought she was Puerto

Rican or half Puerto Rican but turns out

that might have been a Spanish part of

the family from Spain and there were

slave

owners that's right Sunny Hosten of the

view comes from a family of slave

owners and watching her learn that she's

from a family of slave

owners was something I had to watch 20

times in a row I just kept playing it

and replaying it because there was a

part where she tried to laugh about

it but but the smile and the laugh was

so fake that it was just the hilariously

uncomfortable you have to see it

it's in my X feed if you're looking for

it

um so that was

fun but uh even more fun than that uh

apparently so they're now that I think

there now have been three separate times

in the last week I'll take a fact check

on this three separate times in the last

week when um when the view had to read a

legal a legal disclaimer

so apparently they had to do

it four times in in yet in Friday's

episode is that true Did did she have to

stop four times and

read uh a legal

clarification I think she did it it's

telling me that the lawyers for the uh

the view just hate the hosts because the

lawyers are probably trying to figure

out how can we stop them saying things

that are clearly going to get us in

trouble

and the host can't stop

lying because their entire show is built

around lying about what people did

basically it's a show about lying about

Republicans basically so if they can't

lie about Republicans they don't have

content because that's all they have so

the lawyers like you can't just lie

about their legal

situation you maybe you could lie about

reading their minds but you can't lie

about whether they were convicted Ed of

a

crime you can't lie about that

so uh so it looks like the the legal the

legal staff is trying to put the view on

a business like actually literally it

looks like they're trying to force some

am of business which might be what's

happening

um The New York Times has a article by

Samuel Moon who's a lawyer now what's

interesting is that this article is in

the New York Times And as others have

pointed out it seems like they're

admitting that the lawfare against Trump

was not based on the law but was lawfare

so here's a sentence in the New York

Times by Samuel Moon a lawyer he said it

wasn't bad luck they did not put Trump

in jail well I'm paraphrasing that part

he said quote the more uncomfortable

truth is that our search for political

salvation primarily through the law has

backfired

let me read that again the more

uncomfortable truth is that our search

for political salvation primarily

through the law has

backfired is that admitting that they

were using laware because they didn't

have another way to stop Trump that's

how I read it and others are reading it

the same way and so I I appreciate that

I I appreciate

the the complete sincerity of that H now

Mike Davis um you might know him as a

republican with some legal background um

he says even the liberal New York Times

is admitting the Democrats rant lawfare

and election interference against

President Trump because I guess it would

be election interference wouldn't it and

he says uh now the uh Trump justice

department should open a criminal probe

under and he gives the the law and

apparently there's some law that would

be a conspiracy against

rights a conspiracy against

rights that sounds exactly like the

right law doesn't it does it seem like

there was a

conspiracy of various elements in the

government to prevent Trump from having

the right to certain first of all be a

free free Citizen and second of all to

run for

office I mean without being a lawyer if

you tell me that there is a law that

says you can't have a conspiracy to deny

somebody their rights guaranteed under

the Constitution the first thing I'd say

is okay that seems like that should be a

law shouldn't

it I mean it should be a law so if it is

a

law how could you possibly imagine it

doesn't apply

here it would clearly apply and here's

here's a Democrat lawyer who's saying

well looks like the lawfare didn't work

I feel like what happens after that has

to be criminal

indictments because if everybody can see

it as plainly as we can you you got to

at least dig around there and see if

there's a case I think there might

be but

again I don't want to see any law fair

and revenge it better be a better be a

good case because we don't want to

lawfare the law farers I know some of

you want to but I don't think that's a

good place to

go

um apparently uh there's a study that

says 86% of us Asylum Seekers are not

legitimate so I guess the federal

government did a review of that now does

that surprise you I thought it was

higher actually I would have guessed 90

to

95% but um it's interesting that that we

know about it and we just still keep

this program Open The Way It Is

it's I mean I think this gets back to

that that earlier

comment that it's super obvious that the

government wants to just let in as many

people as they can like to imagine that

this is a

mistake that would be imagining a lot

it's not a mistake they're using a

technical Le loophole to open the Border

that's all that

is um did you know that uh California is

still counting the

votes for 18 days we're still counting

the votes and believe it or not uh Nancy

Pelosi's daughter is involved in that

and it's called curing ballots now I

think that what what that means is if

you have a ballot that looks like it

filled out wrong or something's missing

you have the option of calling the

person and saying you know did you mean

this is this a real vote Etc and then

you can count it if you can confirm it's

a real person with a real vote so

they've been doing that for 18 days and

it looks like they might flip two seats

in Congress from red to blue because of

18 days of curing the

votes you're going to feel comfortable

with

that 18 days of curing the

votes

yeah I see there's some kind of a fight

going on on the comments here let's see

what that that's all

about I just want to take a look at what

the what all the fightings

about all right I can't

see never

mind well um Elon Musk is having a great

time on X he seems quite addicted to it

which he's admitted today and he asked

this question he said how how old were

you when you realized others couldn't

see the

Matrix so I'll ask that question to you

how old were you when you realize others

couldn't see the

Matrix now the way the way I interpret

that is that others how old were you

when you realize that basically

everything's a

lie uh I went with

11 have I ever told you my story at age

11 I've written this in my book so some

of you have seen you've heard this now I

will start I'll start by saying that I'm

pro-

religion now I think you've heard me say

that before I'm very Pro religion I

think

Christianity and not not to pick a

favorite but just to pick one as an

example um Christianity and others

Judaism Etc they they have a a lot of um

benefits for the people who practice it

Islam if it's the you know if it's not

if it's not related to any terrorists or

anything if you just practicing it

happily and minding your own business

probably great so I'm very pro- religion

I just don't have one because I don't

think you can make yourself a

Believer I I just don't have an ability

to enter that space so when I was 11

years old and um my parents would send

us to uh Sunday school it was called it

was a Methodist church and we would go

there and we'd learn all our little

Sunday lessons and one day when I was

about 11 the lesson was about um uh

Jonah being uh swallowed by a whale or a

giant fish I guess and he lived in the

whale's stomach for a while but he

prayed and and God saved him and the

whale spit him up and he was none the

worse for being in the whale or the big

fish's stomach and uh I remember I

called a with my

mother cuz that's when I realized I was

in The

Matrix and I said um

Mom now I'm paraphrasing because

obviously I don't remember my exact

words at 11 but it was something like um

today I learned that a giant fish ate a

guy and uh apparently the stomach acids

of the

fish weren't operating and this

particular guy got out cuz he prayed to

God and um and then I said

Mom are you aware that this is all made

up and she never answered

me and I think I tried a few few times

like but you know you know that these

couldn't possibly be true stories right

you you know that I read comic books

you've seen it you you see me watching

reading comic books what would be the

evidence that Spider-Man exists that

would be different from the EV you know

so that's sort of the direction I went

to her credit and then and then I said

um I'm resigning from

religion and at 11: I told my mother I

wouldn't be participating

anymore and to her credit to her

Everlasting credit one of the greatest

things she ever did she said

okay and we never spoke about it again

because I tried it if I never tried it

then we would have had a longer

conversation but the rule was you don't

get to be a quitter no don't get to be a

quitter if we put you in baseball you

know if put you in little league and you

don't like it the first two weeks you

don't get to quit if you play for three

years and decide you don't want to play

a fourth year yeah yeah then you've

tried it so the fact that I'd already

gone to Sunday school for now what I

five years or something and that i' had

worked it through and I had an argument

and I had a position and I called the

meeting and I st down my position and

she said okay never talked about it

again and by the way I never even

learned what my parents religious

beliefs were still don't they never

talked about it I mean they attended a

little bit of the church activities but

they weren't regulars or

anything anyway anyway

so so I call that the Matrix now of

course it was a very long trip to find

out that all of the news is fake and

most of the science is fake too and that

everything we learn about history is

made up now that took a longer but once

I realize there something kind of

basic could be just a story that people

tell now if you prefer and say but Scott

you're wrong because the Christian

religion is all correct

you would certainly agree that all the

other religions are wrong so it ends up

being kind of the same point if you you

know you just might think you got the

right

one anyway here's a matrix

example um in The Matrix uh do you

remember why Tulsi gabard is was being

called a Russian asset and still is by

some of the Democrats that came from

Hillary

Clinton Hillary

Clinton also of course tried to make

make uh Trump the Russian asset I I

think Hillary's calling card is she

always tries to get a twofer so Hillary

hates Russia and

Putin and often she'll hate somebody

else so if she hates somebody else

she'll just say that they're a Putin

puppet so that you can take out the

person that you hate but also keep the

pressure on Putin so apparently she did

that trick the same trick that she did

on Trump she tried on Tulsi gabard and

that's part of the

Matrix so if if you're a Democrat and

you think that the news is real and

somebody like Hillary Clinton says

honest things then you think oh I guess

I know what's going on now look at all

these Russian puppets but if you know

you're in The Matrix and you know that

nothing that public figures say should

be taken as true then you go oh that's

just Hillary Clinton doing what Hillary

Clinton always does oh Hillary Clinton

always says

somebody's a a Putin

puppet so no I wouldn't worry about

telsy

gabard um I saw a conversation on X in

which people were saying uh were

disagreeing with somebody who said we

should vet people and make sure that

we're letting in immigrants who are you

know not criminals and can add something

it turns out there are a number of

people who in the comments said very

clearly that all immigration is

bad and the reason is that they're

coming in from other countries and other

races and cultures and they're going to

you know outnumber the people who are

here eventually and then put pressure on

the people are here who will become I

think it's mostly white people who are

worried about being

minorities and I was saying that uh

economists should

decide who comes in and what kind of

people come in and what numbers and I I

still believe that but a number of

people disagreed with me and said that

all that all of the uh immigration is

bad and then somebody said oh look at

how much I'm being dunked on in the

comments so I looked at the comments and

I thought how would anybody dunk on

that to the best of my knowledge 100% of

economists from both sides are on the

same page which is that there is some

number of immigrants that's good for the

country and there's some number that

would be too much am I wrong about that

that 100% of economists would agree they

might they might disagree on the number

and even the type but they would all

agree with the concept that there's

something as something that would be

called too few especially since we're

not reproducing at the rate of

replacement and there is something that

would be too much I don't think that's

even

controversial but other people were

saying no it's basically just race they

just don't want to be outnumbered by

High qualified people or low-qualified

people and there was a disagreement

because I said everybody's better off if

the economy is good because we brought

in people who could do good things now

I'm going to double down on my

comment if we didn't have immigration

you wouldn't have Elon

Musk you wouldn't have

aake I mean I I think maybe his parents

um right you you wouldn't have most of

Silicon

Valley do you know how many how many uh

unicorns were made by uh people who were

not born in the United

States maybe it's more obvious when you

live where I live because I'm you know

sort of Silicon Valley adjacent so I'm

mired in that population

but immigration

is really really important to America

keeping its economic lead and if you

think that you could take a hit on the

economy and you'd still be okay I don't

think you're thinking this through

there's a reason that every Economist

thinks that some amount of immigration

is good every

everyone so uh I think some people think

that they specifically would have some

negative outcome but again that has to

do with the

rate if you suddenly said let's bring in

uh uh a 100 million people for from

India without checking him out that

would be too

much too much if you said can we skim

the smartest brightest people from their

you know their best institutions who

want to work in America yes please let's

let's let's see if we can get as many of

those as we can you know let's see if we

can get as many German scientists after

World War II as we can we really do need

the best we need that pretty badly so

I'll agree with you that there's some

amount of anything that's too much but

no you can't you can't not have

immigration and expect the country to

remain

prosperous uh well Elon Musk also making

news because he said that even Mayors

will be arrested for stopping Mass

deportations because he said that

anybody who's trying to you know Aid and

ab bet the illegal immigrants is going

to have some some questions to answer

and he says that even Mayors could be

arrested and I think the was it the

mayor of Denver who almost immediately

said well I probably wouldn't try to

stop

it I didn't see that story too closely

but there's some mayor who did a little

backtracking but I agree with

this I agree that mayor should be put in

jail if they try to stop the federal

government from doing what is legally

authorized and I would argue is mandated

by the election so yes I think a mayor

should go to jail if they get in the way

now I don't know if they should stay in

jail but you know maybe you need to put

them in there overnight while you do

your deportations or something but you

know I I I'm not I'm not in favor of law

fair no lawfare but we have to get the

job

done anyway um Patrick Bet David was

having a good time uh mocking CNN and

MSNBC um apparently the Hallmark Channel

beat them both in in uh in viewership

recently and uh Patrick B David says

quote imagine you wake up one day and

your producer comes to you says guys

Hallmark just beat

us to which I

say well being the third best of fiction

isn't that bad is

it see because Hallmark is

fiction and CNN and MSNBC or fake news

so they really are direct comp

competition what would happen if they

had real

news and then Hallmark continueed doing

fiction although Hallmark does some real

stories sometimes don't they well I

think it's pretty funny now I do think

that their viewership will rise again

when Trump takes

power because they'll have something to

attack and people who want to hear it at

the moment I think everybody's weepy

because they found out they were on the

losing side and their team all lied to

them but they'll get over it and uh I

think they'll get back at least half of

what they lost in audience in the last

few months it'll be after the holidays

maybe everything's slower over the

holidays

anyway um so Glennon Greenwald is always

good at reminding us which networks are

associated with the CIA and he he says

uh how Cor corporate media like CNN is

nothing but a blind mouthpiece for the

CIA and he gives this example that CNN's

Katie

bis she was going after Tulsi gabard

because Tulsi had once supported limits

on NSA domestic spying and uh about

something about Edward

Snowden so and then uh Greenwald points

out that uh Katy

boellis Bolis uh repeat ly slips in

quote intelligent sources tell us to

maintain the facade of

neutrality if you hear the if you hear

intelligent sources tell us what should

you do with that

story not believe

it intelligent sources are they're the

professional

Liars if you're an intelligent Source

you're allowed to lie it's actually

right there in your job description

it's not even you know it's not even

immoral or unethical it's their job it's

their job to lie to anybody they need to

lie to to get the job done

so yes it does look like CNN's got a

little little influence there from the

quote intelligent

sources I don't believe any any non-name

sources um I'm seeing it was an article

saying progressives need a new

leader how in the world are they going

to do

that

um so this is one one spokesperson in

the uh Democrat Party um they think that

the was at least one thinks that the uh

Progressive left is better without a

dominant

figurehead so the so the Democrats don't

have an obvious leader now it seems like

Obama will still emerge at some point

but at the moment he's quiet because he

he's on the losing

team um and then there's another view

that instead of having no dominant

leader which by the way is a losing

proposition if you're ever if you're

ever involved in a organization who says

well I don't think we need a dominant

figurehead we probably need to you know

just share the power you should quit

immediately because literally nothing

works if you don't have a you know a

powerful leader now the powerful leader

should certainly be taking you know lots

of Clues from the people being led

that's what Trump

does but you still need the powerful

figure ad to get anything done you can't

share power that's never going to work

um and then somebody else saying that uh

this is my favorite one um the Democrats

need an opposite and equal force in

terms of

celebrity somebody named Turner said so

imagine them saying okay we figured out

what we did wrong Trump was such a good

candidate such a powerful strong you

know almost like a cult leader

persuasion capabilities that if they

could come up with their own celebrity

powerful charismatic person that they

could win elections too so two other

theories are we should not have anybody

like that and then the other theory is w

we need somebody just like

that so when I say that the Democrats

are lost oh wow are they

lost they are so

lost that it's almost like the people

who know how anything Works already

became Republicans so there's nobody

left who can figure out easy stuff you

know just basic easy strategy

stuff and anyway I'm starting to think

that there are no Democrats who have the

skill to fix

this and if they're trying to figure out

why does it work for the

Republicans but not

us do you think I should tell

them do do you know why the Republicans

got a bigger tent and they gained in

every single

category does anybody know

why uh I'm going to give away the secret

because Republicans focused on the

Constitution the

law the religion in many cases and an

emphasis on

family if you know those things which

category of uh human

beings don't like it none every category

of human beings likes that oh you've got

a very clear set of rules that were made

by people they lasted hundreds of years

oh let's just follow these rules and

then everybody will be good so the

Republicans have created probably by

accident as much as anything well

obviously the Constitution is

intentional but even when the

Constitution was written it wasn't

wasn't exactly an egalitarian document

uh but it became one over

time and it seems to me that the

Republicans have created a a big tent

vacuum cleaner

meaning that if you get anywhere near

the big tent you hear this

noise you know a vacuum cleaner coming

on and you just you get sucked in and

then when you're on the

inside all those people you thought were

horrible racists they're offering hey

how can I help

you you know can I can I uh remove the

snow from your driveway I got a few

minutes and you learned that everything

that you knew about the Republicans was

wrong and that as long as you follow the

rul rules that they follow they love you

they love you you just have to follow

the same rules that's it it's easy but

the progressives are over there trying

to decide huh should we be

progressives should we be more Dei and

and really identity politics or should

we be more like

Bernie or or what those are all they're

not even the right

questions if if they're they're talking

about

personnel Republicans are talking about

process one is system one is goal the

system is going to beat the goal every

time so if the if the Democrats don't

figure out how to create a system which

they don't have they can't beat the

system so here's what I mean um republ

so Democrats have a goal of having power

and everybody gets this Equity stuff

yeah everybody does well that's a goal

it's a pretty good goal right of course

they want Power they think they're the

good guys they want everybody to do well

good

goals then you look at the

Republicans they have systems hey we got

to make sure we're following this

Constitution and that's why we got to

make sure that the Supreme Court is

filled with what we call the

originalists the people who are going to

follow the Constitution The Way It Was

Written not make up stuff that's the

system that system among other things

caused uh the the abortion question to

be sent to the

states how' that work out well it worked

out really well for Republicans because

it kind of took it off the table for the

federal election which was a better

system and at the same time the local

people in the states have you know

majority female voters in almost every

state so they can kind of get what they

want over time that's a system

the goal was for them to get all the

abortion rights they wanted right away

they will get all the abortion rights

they want in each

state eventually the system will work

through it and they'll get exactly what

they want but um the system of just

making sure you're picking meritocracy

you're following the law you're

following the

Constitution um and that you're actually

doing a

primary that's another system mistake

right so the Republicans said we're

going to have a competitive primary and

they did the Democrats said um we'll

just push this dying guy through uh no

we'll replace him uh no you know there's

no

system so the system people are going to

just absolutely dominate the goal

people I think forever I mean unless one

of them changes completely this is a

this is a permanent dominant situation

and the fun part is that the Democrats

can't figure it out because they're

locked in an identity world you know

they're they're locked in their own form

of the Matrix in their Matrix there's

identity and that matters and then

there's bad

Republicans if that's how they frame the

world they can't ever get a

solution so I would expect it to be kind

of a bad time to be a Democrat for a few

few

years

um former Obama speech writer Roso Keefe

according to Washington examiner uh says

that the celebrity endorsements are good

for

Democrats and but is careful to say and

here's where I respect this opinion

because at first I thought that's dumb

but then when I read that Nuance the

Nuance is that nobody really changes

their opinion because of the celebrities

but you might get people more interested

in showing up to vote you if if it if it

improves Your

Enthusiasm okay maybe but nobody changed

their vote because Beyonce so I agree

with the Democrat um speech writer okay

yeah the the celebrities are not

changing votes but maybe they give you

some energy however I would

note that both sides use celebrities

right so they both used every celebrity

they could get um Trump did it too but

what was different about the

way what was different about the way

that Trump did

it Trump used celebrities too but what

was

different here's what I think was

different Trump's celebrities were often

people that look like Democrats

so when you see Joe Rogan who's got a

long history of progressive Democrat

looking opinions sayou know what I'm

going Trump you've got uh professional

athletes especially professional male

black athletes putting on the hat and

saying you know what I I've listened to

both arguments going

Trump uh you watch the um you know all

the UFC fighter types uh every different

race and religion and you see how much

they love Trump and you say to yourself

huh that's a lot of people who like

Trump all different kinds here's how

Trump did

it when I look at Trump's celebrity

endorsements here's what I

say big

tent Big Tent hey it's a big tent and uh

you're welcome everybody's

welcome when

the when the democ rats put a celebrity

on they're going to tell you that the uh

Republicans are and you should try

to crush them stay away from and

basically that you're the good people

and the other people are

and and people are like well I'm

not so sure because my neighbor is a

Republican and he just mowed my lawn for

free like but you telling me he's bad

like how's that work so I think that

Trump quietly

just quietly doing what makes sense

Common Sense uh attracted people from

every domain who appreciate Common Sense

such as having border control so so you

get some Joe Rogan you get your RFK

Juniors you get you know you get your uh

your

Tulsi and suddenly it's hard not to

notice that everybody who likes Common

Sense Solutions seems to be moving

toward Trump and it doesn't matter what

their color or race or religion is and I

think that Trump did it the right way so

he used the celebrity endorsements as

evidence that it's

safe his biggest problem was making it

safe to say that you're on his team and

that's what the celebrity endorsements

did and by the way that wasn't that

wasn't Trump making it happen that I

I've said this before that I think the I

think the public dragged Trump across

the winning line the Finish Line I don't

think he pushed himself over I mean he

did a great job so not taking nothing

away from Trump's performance it was

amazing one of the best you've ever seen

but still it took people taking big

risks in their personal and professional

lives to say you know what I'm putting

this hat on and you know musk was the

biggest one the biggest risk maybe

will'll be the biggest winner

but uh when you watch other people take

a big risk like that it's it's very

inspiring so I think Trump used it the

right way by kind of ignoring it and

letting it happen on its own and then it

formed on its own and then it helped

drag him across the the winning Finish

Line

anyway

um

so um the DNC Vice chair according to

the

hill uh Ken Martin he criticized the

party for losing and he said quote we

don't know how or why we

lost now that's the most honest person

like he's he's the one I'd listen to

because he goes on I think he was on uh

might have been news Nation no he was on

CNN with Jake Tapper and he said this

directly this is a direct quote we don't

know how or why

we

lost now that is exactly right because

I'm observing that everybody's

speculating like maybe we should have

done this maybe we should have done that

but when you put all that speculation

together the summary is we don't know

how or

why and I don't think that they can find

it

because think of the irony of this so

this is the DNC Vice chair and he's

appearing on CNN and he's talking to

Jake Tapper and he's saying we don't

know how or why we

lost he's on CNN he's talking to Jake

Tapper people get the news from CNN and

Jake

Tapper the CNN decided what people saw

and MSNBC decided what people saw so it

almost didn't matter what the Democrats

were doing if there's somebody else who

decides what people

see so I don't think that he was quite

realizing the irony that he was talking

to the

problem Jake

Tapper now not specifically Jake Tapper

but CNN so if you appear on CNN you say

I don't know why we lost and CNN is you

know one of the primary formers of your

message I think maybe you should turn a

little bit of that scrutiny on the media

and say maybe it's the person I'm

talking to maybe if you had not pushed

the um fine people hoax which Jake

Tapper did maybe people wouldn't be

leaving for that reason some of the most

important people who left the

party say directly it was and they say

it out loud is because when I found out

the fine people hoax was a hoax that's

when the whole Matrix opened up and you

know I could see that the Democrats were

just

lying so Jake Tapper was part of a big

part of pushing that and other hoaxes if

you can't recognize that the media is

the ones causing them the Democrats to

fail how could they possibly

recover and they can't tell the media

that the media is the problem because

then the media won't invite them to be

on anymore it's an unsolvable

problem yeah I I can't see any system or

tweak or or anything the the only way

you could solve this problem is

replacing all of the people at the same

time and of course there isn't any way

to do

that all right

um Colin rug had a little uh video and a

post on X about uh Washington Post is

Jennifer Rubin she was mocking trumps

because his nominations were too white

and she said when they looked at the the

page of the nominations there were a

thousand shades of white

haa um she said I have I have to comment

when he put up all those faces it was a

thousand shades of white have you

noticed

that

well um I'd like to do a call out to one

of my followers Mike Bert Mike Bert what

are you going to say about

that that's sort of an inside joke right

we we have a uh uh within locals I've

authorized uh one person to be

inappropriate as much as he wants you

know not too bad but so we we have one

Court

Jester who's allowed to say the things

you really shouldn't be saying but we've

allowed one person to do it because it's

actually fascinating if you cut yourself

off from the opinions that differ from

you you're not going to understand the

Nuance but um this was funny for reasons

that you won't totally understand but um

I would note that uh they're not

entirely white uh I think there are some

asian-americans there are some other

flavors and there's some Hispanic

Americans I think there's at least one

um some Middle Eastern American type um

and Scott Turner was selected for head

of Hud so HUD has a a black guy who was

U part of the executive team over there

I guess and he's got a good

resume

now what do you

think do do you think that the HUD

appointment was a Dei appointment just

so he could just so Trump could say Well

they're not 100%

white well I don't know I don't know I

also don't know if HUD needs to exist

can anybody tell me why HUD exists is

there anything the HUD does that

couldn't be replaced by something far

more efficient I think they have tens of

billions of dollars of funding that

they um that they kind of allocate but

couldn't that be allocated more

locally so here here's my take on what's

wrong with um every Urban Development

problem so somebody says if only there

were a big bunch of money and then

somebody says all right here's your

here's your big bunch of money from the

government and then it's allocated to

people who apparently just steal most of

it how do you stop that so if you have a

system that's good at producing money

and delivering it but then once it gets

delivered it's stolen somewhat reliably

or it's given to the wrong vendors who

can't can't get the job done you're

never really going to fix

it so it seems like that what we need is

to fix the funding

oversight uh I feel like the decision of

how to spend money locally should be not

in the hands of the elected

representatives and I know that sounds

opposite of what makes sense but if if a

small City can elect a mayor who then

can you know make sure that the

contracts go to their brother-in-law and

anybody else who's going to give them a

kickback we don't have a workable system

see that's system problem again so what

I like to see is V and Elon coming up

with maybe some ideas collectively for

how we can make sure that if money is

sent to an urban place for urban

development that it just doesn't get

stolen because if you don't fix that

there's no point in giving anybody any

money for

anything and I also

worry that um Republicans maybe have

written off the inner cities

because they're not getting many votes

there and I don't think you can fix

it it doesn't look fixable to me see the

trouble is if you put too many people

who have too many problems in one place

I don't know that you can ever fix it

you would have to move the people which

would be illegal and if they don't want

to move then how's that going to work

mean I I think you could take if you

took let's say a teenager who's in this

bad environment there's gangs and

there's crime and there's you know the

schools are bad and everything if you

took that one teenager and say all right

let's see let's see what happens if we

put this one teenager in a safe place

with a good school and no gangs probably

you'd get a good pretty good

outcome but if they're if but if

everybody is in this one place and they

all have the similar problems they're

not going to feel like they have to

escape because they're just sort of

living the same life as everybody around

them and I don't know that that's

flexible I mean you almost have to

distribute the people who are in the

same bad situation so they don't

reinforce each other's bad habits yeah

you you've heard you've heard the thing

you are the average of your five closest

friends right what happens if you live

where your five closest friends are gang

members do you really have a do you have

a chance not really so how much money

could you send into that situation to

fix it there's no amount there there's

no amount that fixes that in fact the

more money the worse it would get so you

going have to fix the five friends

problem

first and I don't know how the only

thing I could think of would be a

massive Improvement in

mobility and the mobility would have to

include can you go some somewhere can

you afford to move can you get a job if

you go there and can you and do you have

enough school choice that you can you

move at least the school so if you could

move the options for any one person to

say you know what I need to get where I

can get five good friends around my

teenage kid and maybe those friends will

influence them now that would be a real

solution but sending money no I mean I

if if Trump decided that HUD didn't

really have a

future I wouldn't be

surprised anyway

um I saw chamoth talking about uh on the

all-in Pod chth I think I say his name

wrong it's chth right and then I never

try to say his last name because I'll

just embarrass myself but it's

like

pelipa Jason are you watching

if Jason is watching you're laughing at

me right

now there's some names that I really try

hard like every time I read his name

jamaat's last name I read it and I sound

it out and then I try to memorize the

order of the letters and stuff never

works it doesn't last a day anyway but

chamal said can you imagine if these

guys you talking about the people

working on Doge can you imagine if these

guys basically use Doge as a mechanism

to shrink the the tax code create a flat

tax

potentially uh the idea of just cutting

this all the way down and finding

through that the process of what they

actually need and he says I think

America could uh could get 100 to 200

basis points of GDP growth it could be

an economic

Renaissance I

agree um now I don't think flat tax

school ever work in

America there's just no way because it's

good for rich people it's bad for poor

people no way you're never going to get

a flat tax so just forget about it right

I mean it's great to talk about but

you're never going to get a fla tax um

however if you could reduce your taxes

and you know make make sure the taxes

have the right incentive and you get it

down to a minimum and you cut the cost

of the government so you don't need as

much taxes could you get 100 to 200

basis points meaning that instead of

growing by 3.5 you would grow at 5.5

which would be

incredible yes yes I think you could do

that is it hard oh my God it's hard is

it possible I think it is and so I have

the same intuition as jth uh

less uh less Faith than a flat tax could

ever even be you know within a mile of

being uh viable and I just think that's

because our the way our brains work we

wouldn't we just couldn't handle it flat

tax would just make everybody complain

too

much good for rich

people um so now we know much more about

the January 6 and that the National

Guard was delayed 3 hours and 19 minutes

when everybody knew that there was going

to be a problem and uh it looks

like we got real problem so Chief Steven

Sun um who who was at I guess who was in

Char of the capital police and uh he's

noting that we now know that there was

this three over three-hour

delay and if they had sent the

reinforcements it would have looked

completely

different does it look to

you like the delay was intentional to

make the Optics as bad as

possible

maybe you know you can't rule out

incompetence but it certainly has the

look of an OP

and you can't ignore that so certainly

the January 6 committee are the uh at

the top of my list of people we need to

be looked at to see if there was a crime

there now I don't believe in law fair

has to be a real crime but if they were

hiding evidence and lying under oath or

any of that stuff these are really bad

consequences I mean what happened to the

country people in jail for it um if

there's nobody on the January 6

committee that ends up in jail

I feel like I'd be

disappointed but if they didn't create

if they didn't break a law that's the

way it's got to

be uh anyway California is making it

harder to produce gas in California so

we're we're all dead forget about that

um so the story about Biden doing this

last ditch effort to send all the money

they have to Ukraine was it Anthony

blinkin said President Biden has

committed to make sure that every dollar

we have at our disposal will be pushed

out the door between now and January

20th so that really doesn't sound like

somebody who's taking care of America

does it we're going to make sure that we

push every one of your dollars out the

door before the government changes that

doesn't sound like they're on our side

it really doesn't so I mean there's a

tone problem

there but the way it's Being Framed is

that these moves are designed to make

sure that Ukraine is in the strongest

possible negotiating position when Trump

takes

over

really really is that why they're

pushing all that money through right now

it's to it's to help Trump get a get a

good

outcome is that

why I don't think

so I don't think so no I think that

there's a massive money laundering

operation and they're put pushing as

much money through it so they can suck

as much out of it as they can and

basically robbing Ukraine and robbing

the United States while they leave

office that's what it looks like that's

what it feels like I don't have any

proof but sure looks and feels like it's

a money laundering money stealing

operation but nonetheless it could be

true that it would keep Ukraine strong

enough to negotiate well as well so

that's good

all right that's all I got for you for

my prepared remarks today I'm going to

go talk to the to the people on locals

who haven't yet banned me and uh I will

see the rest of you on U on Rumble and

YouTube and X tomorrow same time same
