All right, there you are. How many of you saw my video I live streamed yesterday of the tour of the Dilbert Museum? Did y'all see that? All right, I'm pinning it right now. It's pinned on my profile if you want to see a tour of the Dilbert museum at my house. And now I'm going to open up your locals comments for the show of all shows. It's going to be amazing. All right, you just hold on. It's going to be incredible.

Good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization and also possibly cat civilization, but we'll get to that later. If you'd like to take this experience up to levels that nobody can understand with their tiny shiny human brains, all you need for that is a coffee mug or glass, a tankard, a stein, a canteen, jug, a flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip and it happens now.

Go. Ah. Sublime.

Well I'd like to do a demonstration now of my powers. Now this is something that I demonstrated privately on a live stream just before I went live here with the people in locals. And what I'm going to do is I'm borrowing from a meme that's on the internet now that you can tell your cat to come to you if you use the proper cat language. So there's actually a phrase or a word that apparently will call your house cat to you. So I'm going to do this now. So turn up your speaker if you have a cat in the house and watch what happens. You ready for this? This is real by the way. So turn up your speaker if you have a cat and watch what happens.

Now if it's the same as the live stream I did just before this one you can have your cats running from all your rooms toward you. Now tell me in the comments as we go so other people can see if it's working out. But while you're waiting for your cats to attack you and jump on your laps, which they're doing right now. Yeah, some are coming, some are not. The comments are coming in now. Cats are coming. Some are coming, some are not. All right, well keep an eye on that.

So according to the University of Bristol, they've created the world's first carbon-14 diamond battery. Diamond battery. Yeah, so now you can keep your spouse powered up at all times. So I was looking for a diamond battery. This one could last thousands of years. So what makes it special is how long it lasts and it could last in terrible environments like space. So you could send in a space probe and have a diamond battery and it would stay powered for I don't know, hundreds or thousands of years. So I don't think this will be in common usage but if you need anything that needs power for a few thousand years you got an option. Diamond battery.

Well did you know that if you eat ultra processed food you have a higher risk of depressive symptoms? According to a post. Of course you did, or you could have just asked me. Yes, if you eat crap food your mental state will decline. If you eat healthy food your mental state will be better. How many times do we need to test this? Would this be the millionth research study that showed that if you eat right your brain works better and you're happier? I don't think it's ever going in any other direction. Has it? Has there ever been a scientific study that said we took these people and we made them eat right for a month and everything went off the rails, they couldn't concentrate when they were eating right? Not once. One hundred percent of the science is all in the same direction. Your body is your brain.

Good news. Trump has introduced a Trump fragrance. Okay, there's a theme today. So the theme for the show is that I can't tell what's true today. There's a lot of news today but unlike most days where you go oh that's probably true, I don't know about that one, yeah that looks true, today almost every story I looked at I thought I don't know if that's true.

So is this true? Is it true that Trump has introduced a Trump fragrance called Fight Fight Fight or is that just an internet meme? Does anybody know if that's true? Because the funniest part about it is even if you like Trump a lot as a politician do you really want to smell like him? I've never once, never once have I awakened in the morning and it's like oh if only, if only I could find a way to smell like President Trump. Now I'm not saying it smells bad. I'm just saying it never really occurred to me to try to match his fragrance. So I can't tell if it's even real. Is that real? I'm looking in the comments. I'm not seeing anybody say it's not real. I don't know. There's just something wonderful about it, the whole story.

Meanwhile here's the second story I can't tell if it's real. There is an alleged video which I watched that seems to show Kamala Harris at what they say is her home residence and some kind of a holiday party. And if it's a real video she is really drunk. But it's a grainy video and it's in the age of AI fakes so I don't know. I have no idea if that's real. And that's going to be my theme for today as I told you. Like I know, is the Trump fragrance real? I have no idea. Is that video of Kamala Harris that looks drunk but also could easily be AI, is that real? I don't know. I mean I really genuinely don't. I'm not even leaning in one direction. I don't know if that's real. But it would be easier to fake a video if it were a grainy video where you couldn't see the lips syncing to the AI. That would be the tell. So I don't trust that one but it could be real. It might be real. I don't know.

Meanwhile Kamala Harris's campaign manager Quentin Fulks, who some say he's the one who fucked everything up, Quentin Fulks, but he was talking about why they didn't have a Democrat primary and he said quote, to open up a Democrat primary you would have had black women be highly upset if it was not Kamala Harris. Really? We're saying this out loud now that it had to be a black woman, it had to be Kamala Harris and that was basically all they could live with?

Well here's what I think. Now I've said this a few times but every time there's more evidence for it I'll remind you. I don't think the Democrat Party can recover normally. You expect somebody loses a major election, you know they're actually come back stronger the next time because they know what they did wrong, they get a better candidate, they improve their game and they come back stronger. But I don't think you can come back from the identity politics because once you've convinced all your people in your grab bag of a party that their identity needs to win then they're going to play that way. They're going to play for their identity to win but not just nationally. They're going to play for a win within the Democrat Party too which should destroy it because if they can't think like a party and they can only think like their identity you can't really make a movement out of that.

Have you noticed that the MAGA people all are on the same page? Hey, hey MAGA person randomly tap you on the shoulder. Hey, hey do you support Trump? Yes I do. And what, give me an idea what your sort of philosophy is. That's part of this. And they would say something like America First. Are you also for America First? Oh you're on my team. That's it. It's simple. So Trump put together a pirate ship of common sense people who if you ask them what it is that binds them together it would be something that could bind you together forever. America. And there would be no conflict there and you know exactly what you're all trying to get. Okay I get it, you're all America. So what is it that you want to achieve? Oh the Constitution. Right, you want the Constitution and free markets. Got it. Very easy.

But no I think that the identity politics is a one-way trip. I can't even come up with a creative thought in my mind about how they could ever dig their way out because as long as you've got big pockets that can turn on them at any moment they've got to keep all the pockets happy and then they can't really have a winning group of people because it just won't be enough. So I don't know. I think the Democrats may have found the one and only way that they could make themselves uncompetitive for the rest of history at national level. They'll be fine at a local level but nationally it looks like they can never win again.

Now I'm saying this partly recreationally and partly with a little hyperbole of course. If they got a really strong candidate that's probably all it would take. All either side really needs is a candidate that doesn't act drunk and say stupid stuff and they've got a chance. So one good candidate they'd be back in action. But I don't know who that would be. They don't seem to have anybody who's an obvious candidate to be that one strong candidate.

And have you noticed that Obama went from chocolate Jesus to irrelevant and kind of stupid and maybe a little bit racist? I've never seen anybody's reputation just sink like that so quickly. Because even if you hated his policies you would have said well he's certainly good at what he's doing, you know speaking and communicating and persuading and you know just basically acting like a president. But the last few times we've seen Obama it almost looked comically incompetent. Why is that? Did he always have other people writing his stuff so he looked more capable than he was when he was president? Has he lost a step? Maybe he's not reading as much. I don't know. Is there some reason he looks to me like not the same person he was five years ago and he's not that old so it's not just age right? So I don't know. So I think it might be a little bit psychological meaning that if my opinions about the world have shifted then my opinion about him maybe gets shifted at the same time. But I've never seen anybody go from so capable to so incompetent apparently. And again it could be just a psychological phenomenon that's happening in my head but it sure looks like he turned incompetent. I wasn't really expecting that because I've always said that even if you don't like his politics or anything about his personality he's just really good at his job. But not lately. It's not his job but he's a public communicator.

Meanwhile Tim Walz has his newest explanation of why they lost. He says quote I think we're going to have to understand what type of leadership do they want talking about the country. He said we were pledging to be inclusive, we were pledging to bring people in. Donald Trump has said that isn't what he wants and so that's what America is leaning towards. I guess for me it's to understand and learn more about America because I thought they were going to probably move towards a more positive message.

Oh my God he's lost. They are so lost. They think that discriminating against white men is inclusive. They don't know that they were the bad guys. They don't know that the reason that MAGA grew is because it wasn't racist. There was nothing stopping anybody from joining MAGA because there was no identity politics. But on the Democrat side they were literally overtly discriminating against white men forever and they call that inclusive.

All right let me ask you a question. Did you hear the story about the highly qualified black American man? He was an engineer and he went to the best schools and he had really good experience and he couldn't get a job in corporate America. Did you hear that story? Highly qualified and he just couldn't get a job because he was a black man in America. No you haven't heard that story because that isn't anything that can happen in America. There's probably never one case where a qualified black man, let's say an engineer just to pick an example, couldn't get a good job in corporate America. I'll bet there's not one in the whole country. Let me say it again. I don't think there's even one. Not even one. Literally one. I'm not exaggerating. I don't think there's one qualified black engineer who can't get a job right away anywhere.

Now have you ever heard of a qualified white man who couldn't get a job because of DEI? Yes every one of you have heard that. How do you live in this country and think that black men can't get a job in corporate America? That's not a thing. Everybody who has qualifications has a job in America pretty much everybody except white men who get taken out by DEI.

All right so DEI is racism and the Democrats and Tim Walz have not figured out. And Tim Walz, all right why was Tim Walz even selected the VP candidate? Does he not know that he was not qualified to be the top of his own ticket? Did Tim Walz know that he couldn't have been the top of the ticket? It wasn't an option if he's a Democrat. Does he literally genuinely in the real world not know that he couldn't have been the top of the ticket because he's a white man? Like how lost is he? Like I'm genuinely curious. Is he stupid or am I stupid because I can't figure this out? Like why he can't figure it out. There's some mystery here. I don't know what it is. Maybe the problem's on my end.

Well anyway yes I told you MSNBC I use it as the comedy channel because all you have to do is simply report what they did and it makes you laugh. You don't even need any commentary. Are you ready? Ready for this? All right I saw some couple of posts from Johnny Mega on X reporting what shows a video of Joy Reid on MSNBC and this is what Joy Reid said about Tulsi Gabbard. She said that Tulsi Gabbard will be feeding Trump quote conspiracies from Russian state media in her job as Director of National Intelligence. Quote she's going to come in there and whatever RT, that's Russia Today publication, has fed in her life she can then feed that to Donald Trump.

Now I don't need any commentary on that right? That's just funny. There's nothing to say about it. It's just funny that this person has a TV show and people watch it. I mean not many but few. But that's not all of it. She also implied that the January prisoners, the overwhelming majority of them of course not having any kind of legal problems in the past before that, she said that when they get released she goes quote God knows what that is like when those people are showing up in the Walmarts or the Home Depots. We're in for a wild ride. Joy Reid thinks that when you unlock the lifetime of law-abiding white guys, mostly white guys, that they're going to run into Walmart and Home Depot yelling and trying to shoot stuff. What are they gonna do? Yeah I'm really worried about the ruckus at my local Home Depot when all the January Sixers get out and go to buy some improvement tools to fix up their house. What is wrong with her?

All right so yeah most of the news today is about videos and photos that I think might be fake and of course overt racism against white men in pretty much every story. Meanwhile New York City mayor Eric Adams who we alternately like to love and hate because he seems to be like half a Republican and half a Democrat so if you want a reason to dislike him you just pick whichever side you don't like and you're like ah I don't like that half. I didn't realize he used to be a Republican so that would explain why he's not like a crazy leftist Democrat. He's just sort of a standard middle-of-the-road Democrat. But he's teasing that he might be open to switching parties. He doesn't say it but the way he answered questions about that question made you think that maybe he's not wed to his political party.

Now it's interesting because he's in legal jeopardy and I wonder first of all I don't know if the corruption charges are real. We live in a world where it could be lawfare you never know. But I wonder if he thinks, no I guess those wouldn't be probably wouldn't be federal charges anyway so he's not playing for a pardon. He's not hoping to change parties and get a pardon because it's state charges right, the allegations against him. So we'll keep an eye on him but at least we understand why he seems a little bit one foot in each of those worlds because he's had one foot in each of those worlds.

There's terrible data coming out of Texas A&M Corpus Christi. Colin Rugg is reporting this on X that apparently there's an alarming number of bottlenose dolphins that are showing up with traces of fentanyl in their systems and they said that more than a third of the dolphins tested were positive for drugs. Now of course the story is that they think maybe the fentanyl is getting into the waste system and then gets into the ocean then the bottlenose dolphins get into it. But I've got a different theory. The reason they're called bottlenose dolphins is because they're famous as being alcoholics. That's why they call them bottlenose. It's like oh can you get that bottle out of your nose for just a second. So the regular dolphins they don't have much of an addiction problem but the bottlenose, well they're partiers. They're partiers. So maybe it's because of the wastewater system. Maybe they're just getting it directly from Mexico and snorting it. I don't know. I don't know what's real. I'm just saying I don't know much about dolphins is what I'm saying. But the only thing I know for sure is they didn't do it on purpose.

Meanwhile according to Fox News the feds have been using banks to surveil Americans and they've asked banks to search for terms like Trump, MAGA, Bass Pro Shops, Cabela's I guess that's some kind of store that we don't have around here, and Dick's Sporting Goods. So apparently the subcommittee on the weaponization of the federal government has looked into this and found out that banks have been a little too cooperative with government requests and maybe crossed the line constitutionally. That's what they're looking at. But I used to work for a bank and I have this advice for you. There's no such thing as a confidential financial transaction unless you pay cash and then murder the person you transacted with. If you're doing anything financially of course the government can get at it.

Let me explain banker mentality to you. You ready? Hi I'm from the government. I would like you to bend over and shove your own head all the way up your own ass. Now I'll do the banker. Okay that that's the relationship of the government and the banks because the bank can't tell the government no. The banks are really really dependent on the laws being just the way they are to protect the banks. I'm not even sure why we have banks. I mean the only thing that protects the entire banking industry is that they somehow have cooperated with the government to the point where they've got basically a legal monopoly. Because don't you think that Elon Musk could build a better bank on an app in about an afternoon? Yes right. Modern technology would allow you to build a bank on an app and have every feature you ever wanted without any of the banking structure. So they pretty much have to do whatever the government tells them. They would be afraid of getting on the bad side of any of that government stuff. So yeah you never were safe. Your bank was never going to stand between you and the government snooping into your stuff. Bank won't do that. It's bad for business. So no surprise there.

Well you probably heard that the Daniel Penny case has taken a turn. So apparently the jury said that they were hung on the first count of second degree manslaughter. So the first count is the highest degree of risk and would be the most jail sentence. There's a lower level charge but the top level charge the judge said well if you can't agree on this we'll basically dismiss it. Now go back think about the lower charge. I guess that'll happen on Monday.

So here's what the people who know way more than I do about the law and the courts are telling me. So I'm listening to people like Mike Cernovich and people have legal backgrounds and Jonathan Turley is writing about it. So let me just tell you what Jonathan Turley says because having me interpret legal stuff is a bad idea. So it's better to hear from people who know what they're talking about. So Turley says so now the judge has dismissed the first count on second degree manslaughter and is allowing the jury to consider the second count after the weekend. This is precisely what Bragg was hoping for in setting up a possible compromise verdict.

Now what you need to know about that phrase a compromise verdict if I understand it correctly is that the judge is trying to get people on the jury to think not so much about guilty or innocent but rather how they can be done with this process. And the way they can be done with the process is to be unanimous about something and if they're closer to being unanimous on guilty then he's going to say go back in on the lower charge and you don't get to go home you know until I say so. So you could imagine that the indirect pressure on the jurors would be to first of all do what the other jurors want them to do, conform so they can go home, and it would kind of bias you toward well you know if we were nice enough to let them off on the top charge but we don't want to be so nice that we let them completely free because then we have to live in the world and answer to all of our neighbors and we can't. So wouldn't it be better for the jury to find him guilty on a lesser charge but still goes to jail but is not as bad as the top one? So that's a terrible situation to put the jury in. You're really causing the jury to think about themselves instead of the facts of the case. That's how I understand the compromise situation.

So if that's the case I think the whole thing should be thrown out. I mean I think the judge probably should go to jail don't you? I don't think that's a thing. I mean I don't think that for this behavior anybody ever goes to jail. But if I look at what crimes were committed and I look at the videos of Daniel Penny I say to myself huh I do not see Daniel Penny intending to do anything wrong or doing anything wrong. There's no intention and I didn't see anything wrong. There's a tragedy but I didn't see him act wrong. But what about the judge? The judge is signaling an intention to be wrong meaning creating a situation that no judge should create. It's got to be intentional and pushing them toward the wrong decision to find what I think is an innocent man guilty and sending him to jail so that the jurors themselves can have a nicer week. That is evil on a level that's almost hard to comprehend. It's just such a casual evil that this would be a judge who just wakes up and goes to work and says some stuff in the context of his job. So it's not like you know the gas chamber or something where the visual of it and the thought of it is overwhelmingly horrible but this is pretty overwhelmingly horrible. The fact that you can casually just go up and go to your job and send some innocent guy to jail intentionally and then the next day you just wake up and go to your job again.

Now this judge if we lived in a world that was fair according to me because I get to decide what's fair it's my live stream I think the judge probably should be in jail already and I think Bragg and anybody involved in this because as Turley tells us he says the prosecutors hope to pressure the jury into voting on the low standard of criminal negligence. So that's essentially what I'm saying. And then Turley says outside of New York or a few other cities this case would likely either have not been brought or would have collapsed quickly before the jury. Now Turley knows more than I do about the legal stuff obviously and he says this wouldn't even be charged in most places in America. No I believe that's true.

So I would say that if New York is going to play with a set of rules that's so different from what you and I think is realistic we should definitely not do business with New York. I wouldn't take my business there. I wouldn't travel there. I would just stay away from that. Just stay away from New York. So I think if Penny goes down because of this and it's not corrected immediately in some way I think we have to take the whole state down because New York State, the citizens which includes some of my family members so sorry about that who might be listening at the moment, I think the state has to pay. I think there's got to be a price and it's got to be a lot and I think if the GDP of New York State went down 20 percent the next year that might be about right. I mean it should be really expensive because if this is the lowest level of social and American behavior you could ever even imagine this is so bad.

And there's another theme for today's show and I'm going to say this as carefully as possible. I never am in favor of violence of course and I would never promote it or endorse it or you know glamorize it but it's certainly getting harder every day. Every time I read the news I think huh I wonder if there's somebody who's going to become violent over this because it certainly looks like it's inviting it but I don't favor that so don't do that. But you can't not think about it because there's just so many ways that the news is so horrible you think.

Speaking of which let's talk about the healthcare hitman. Now I was watching Jesse Watters show yesterday and apparently they've already given the hitman a nickname the healthcare hitman. I think CNN had a different branding for it. I may have this wrong but it might have been the CEO killer or something. So the news is trying to brand it like they always do so that they've got an ongoing story because they love the ongoing stories especially the criminal ones.

So the first thing you need to know is that let me this is going to be hard because I need to say this as delicately as possible to keep myself out of trouble. Do you think that if this had not been a healthcare executive and a white guy do you think that they would have called him the healthcare hitman, the person who did the murder? Because it's almost like you're giving him a clever little nickname. I don't know it makes me wonder if we're having too much fun with the story and we wouldn't do it if it were George Floyd right? If George Floyd got murdered we wouldn't be giving a clever nickname to Derek Chauvin right? Chauvin never got like a clever nickname. It's almost as if this is revealing that there's sort of an undercurrent in America where people are not so sad about this right? And I'm not saying that's good so don't get me wrong. I'm just saying that in a number of ways I'm getting this subtle suggestion that people don't feel bad about this crime partly because it's a white man. Let's be honest it was a wealthy white guy and the country just doesn't have the same kind of empathy for wealthy older white guys. We just don't. And so that's part of it but there's also lots of mystery to it.

And the alleged shooter if you believe at least one of the photos which I don't believe by the way would be a really handsome young guy. So now you've got this you know apparently a very smart killer who's got his own clever nickname the healthcare hitman and the one picture of him that they're trying to sell us on which I don't believe by the way he's really good looking like really good looking like movie star good looking. I don't know there there's something terribly wrong about how movie perfect this is and that we're treating it as entertainment and I am too so I'm as guilty as the people I'm talking about. So the effect that I'm seeing in other people which is what I'm describing I feel it too. I feel like my own sense of empathy has been hijacked into some kind of recreational mode. So I apologize for that. But there are a lot of interesting things about the story.

For example the fact that he got out of New York. So apparently he left on foot, got a bike, took a bike into the park. They say he left a backpack there. His backpack. We'll talk about that. I don't believe that either. And took a little known bus station that's lesser used so fewer witnesses and got out of the state. They think they also think that he used a veterinarian gun. Now this is not everybody but there's some thought that he used a veterinarian gun which is apparently I never knew there was one but because there might be other animals in the neighborhood when you're putting down an animal such as let's say cattle or something you don't want to scare the other animals so you have this thing that works at very close range literally you're supposed to put it up to the skull of the animal you're going to put down. So it's not even meant to shoot 20 feet. I don't believe it's meant for one shot in the head close up. I think that's all it's for. Now that's only if it's truly a veterinarian gun which I never even heard of before.

So here are the things that I think I know for sure. His quick use of the gun whether he was putting in a new shell or clearing it there's a little disagreement on that. He certainly knew what he was doing so he seemed to understand the weapon well enough to know that he had to do a thing after every shot whatever the thing was and then he did it. But if he were a professional he would have used the veterinarian gun the way the veterinarians use it which is he would have run up because the guy was just walking. He was only what 10 or 15 feet in front of him. All he had to do is take a few running steps, bang, and then drop the gun if there was no DNA on it. But he didn't.

So here's the thing. You've all seen now probably the face where they claim it's another picture of the shooter but this time he pulled his mask down to flirt with somebody at a hostel and you can clearly see his face. Now I'm going to tell you something that I haven't seen in the news yet but have any of you ever experienced the facial recognition apps that are currently available now? I don't know if they're available to the public. Maybe they're only available to law enforcement at this point. But I'm going to tell you something that maybe you didn't know about them. They would identify this guy 100 percent of the time. There is plenty of his face showing. A facial recognition app would pick him up 100 percent of the time. There's no way he's not on social media which is how the facial recognition finds you. There's no way he's not on social media. He has a very distinctive face and you can see the whole face. There is no chance that if that's a real picture of the shooter that law enforcement doesn't already know who he is. It would be about five seconds. In fact if you have the facial recognition app you could probably recognize. I bet you could get an ID just from the photo that's on social media. Does anybody have access to one? If you have one of the facial recognition that just put it on the phone it'll tell you who that guy is. So I don't think there's any chance that if you show that picture to the whole world that he's not been identified by now. Do you think that's real? Do you think there's any chance that that picture is clearly as you can see his face and he's so distinctive and it's been on every TV show everywhere and you think that a guy who looks like that and at that age doesn't have families and friends and people who would recognize him immediately? Everything about this story is off.

First of all the story where you see his face clearly it's obviously not the shooter. He's wearing different clothes, has different backpack. It's obviously not him because if it were him we would already have him. We'd know who he is because his face is completely recognizable. If the public hadn't done it the facial recognition software would do it literally in a second. In one second you just go. In fact you if you have it on your phone just call up the picture and just put your phone next to it. If you've got one of those apps click on it and in one second it'll tell you who it is if he's a real person. Now some have said it might be like a Hollywood mask or something maybe but that was a pretty big smile for a mask. I don't know it's hard to pull off that smile. I think if you had a mask you would maybe try to prevent smiling because that would be one place you could spot there was something wrong. Yeah he doesn't have the same jacket and then the police say they found the backpack in the park and then the backpack doesn't even look like the backpack he was wearing say some people. So none of the colors are right. The person isn't right. It's all wrong. It's all wrong.

Now I'm going to tell you a story from my real life that matches this story. You won't believe that there's any story that matches this story but there is. My first job in corporate America was a bank teller and I got robbed twice at gunpoint during my job as a teller. One of those times the guy who robbed me was this older man. I thought he was maybe late 60s, kind of disheveled, gray hair losing most of it, kind of smallish about my size. And so when the FBI came they said all right can you describe the guy who robbed you. I described him that way. This old guy with a little bit of gray hair blah blah blah. And then they came back and they said are you sure you pulled the alarm on time because there's a secret way that tellers pull the alarm so the cameras will capture the crime. And I said yeah I'm positive. Like as soon as he asked for the money I did the thing where you activate the camera. And they said because there's nobody on the film that looks anything like what you described. So they said we're going to take you down to the secret FBI headquarters and we're going to show you the video and you tell me that's the guy who robbed you. I'm like sure easy because the guy he was very distinctive and he had a long long coat on. I mean I had perfect memory of him. And my boss soon as the robber left I alerted my boss and my boss followed him down the street like from a distance but just to get a ID. And when my boss was asked to describe him he described him the same way I did. Older guy gray hair got a small long jacket. So we had the same description.

And then the FBI shows me the video of the moment and they say all right is this guy standing in front of the teller window is that the one that robbed you. I was like no that's not even close. So they showed me this video of a guy who looked like a young Clint Eastwood with a big mustache you know solid dark hair probably mid-30s yeah and had a sport coat on didn't have a long jacket like the guy I saw. And I said no obviously not. So they said watch this. And then manually they could rewind the video and I watched that guy rob me on video. So a guy who looked like Clint Eastwood on video was the actual guy who robbed me. The guy I saw very clearly and described within seconds I mean minutes I guess of the actual robbery and my boss independently who did not talk to me before that we described him as a completely different person. Explain that. And it's even weirder. Once I saw the person on video that looked like that young Clint Eastwood I said first of all I've never seen that guy in person but I've definitely seen him a lot because he's got a picture right on the wall where I worked saying that he was a bank robber who was you know he was a known bank robber. He was literally on the wall as a known bank robber and he looked just like the video. I recognized him immediately when I saw the video but I didn't recognize him in person. You look like an old man. So you tell me what happened. It's been one of the great mysteries of my life.

Now I got robbed twice. The other one I picked out of a lineup easily as did all the other people. Easy. He looked exactly like I described him. Picked them out of a lineup no problem. But sometimes people don't look like they look on video. That's all I can tell you. All I can tell you is that sometimes the video doesn't match what you thought you saw in person. So I don't know.

CNN said that the bullet casings did have some inscription in them something engraved that would suggest it was a healthcare related problem meaning that he somebody maybe got denied some coverage because it had that deny delay title of the book on it. Now I had predicted that in the fog of crime you would ultimately find out that there is not the inscription on the bullets. I'm going to stick with that. I'm going to stick with it even though CNN just confirmed that there is something on the bullets and they even gave details and I'm still going to stick with there's nothing on the bullets. Now you might say to me but Scott that's a very bad bet because everybody's reporting there's something on the bullets. I'm not there yet. I'm not there. I'm going to need to see a picture of those bullets. I'm going to need to see a picture because I think there's a problem that maybe people are hearing it from other news sources and you know maybe it's just one fake story that got amplified. I'm going to wait but maybe I'm not going to rule out that it's on there but not quite buying it yet. Everything about this story looks hinky anyway so we'll wait on that.

As one of the January Sixers said and I'm paraphrasing I stood outside the Capitol on January 6 and had no criminal record did not post anything on social media and the FBI found me in two weeks. Okay now hold that in your head. They found that guy in two weeks. Now there were other videos there so of course they could pick them up. You think that they don't know who this guy is? I'm having real trouble believing that they don't know who at least the one with his face showing is. So there's something very deeply wrong about this.

Meanwhile over in El Salvador I don't know how this is real either. So the president Bukele he just says El Salvador has discovered they have a three trillion dollar unmined gold field and now he's moving to decriminalize some of the mining laws or get rid of some regulations I guess so that they can mine it. Three trillion dollars of unmined gold. They also found according to the president gallium, thallium, tin and other materials needed for you know the future. So this young guy this young good looking guy comes in becomes the president of El Salvador brings in didn't he bring in Bitcoin as their legal currency which turned out to be a genius move apparently and then he solves all of crime in the country by locking up just basically everybody who even looked a little criminal and now he just by luck he happens to be in charge when they find three trillion dollars of extra money that would turn El Salvador from you know a wannabe I don't know what would you say it a not a third world country but it would basically put him right at the top tier of economic powers in the world. And this just happened by coincidence the same time the guy who did all the other good stuff is in power. This is weird. Like it just seems too simulation or too many coincidences. I don't know.

Meanwhile over in Syria Iranian assets are pulling out. So the Iranians of course were supporting Assad as were the Russians but the rebels are making such progress and Assad's forces are not putting up much resistance so the reporting is that the Iranian assets the generals and the advisers and whatever are just running because they know they can't do it themselves and they're not getting help from the military so they're just abandoning. So it looks like Assad is going to maybe retreat his forces to the most important defensible part which is the part that's the Russian port. So the area around the Russian port because if they don't protect that then Russia doesn't have any reason to protect them. So what if Russia doesn't protect them and what if they lose that port and the rebels take over that changes a lot of things doesn't it? And again I'll say that I think that what's happening in Syria has to be seen as part of all the variables for war from you know Hezbollah to Hamas to Ukraine. I think it's all related because it's all the same players. So this gives them lots of variables to say all right if you give us a little relief on Syria I could do a little more on Gaza but if you pull back on this we could maybe let Iran do a little more trade. So I think it's going to be something where all those variables are in play. We might not know it. In other words there could be some secret components of the negotiation that are not public because you know maybe Iran can do things secretly that they don't want to tell their public they're doing you know something like that. So I feel like the Syria situation makes the odds of a larger deal you know with Russia and Ukraine and United States and Iran more possible not less. So it feels to me like a positive situation that it's moving in a direction that's let's say destabilizing for Iran and for Russia and also showing their weaknesses to the world because neither Iran nor Russia can seemingly protect Assad at the moment from rebels. It's not even the strongest military anyway.

The other biggest story is that all over social media there are all these videos of drones or possibly UAPs or UFOs or secret technology and I had been ignoring it largely up until now because I thought oh it's just somebody's balloon or it's just somebody's drone they're flying around. But today I wake up and there's like videos from the East Coast, videos from the West Coast, videos from Argentina I think a few other places in which there were these glowing orbs doing things in sequence. In one case they seem to be going into the ocean. And remember my main theme for today is that all of the news is either overtly racist against white men and that's what the story is in one form or another or it's video or photos that I can't tell are real. So we got the Kamala Harris drunk video I don't know if that's real. We got the healthcare hitman full facial that somehow they can't identify him from the full facial picture. I don't know that that's real. And then we've got what looks to be dozens of videos of these anomalous flying things and I don't know if any of them are real because it seems like the easiest thing you could fake would be to do some AI take a regular video and then add some glowing orbs. How hard would it be to add some glowing orbs? That literally the easiest thing you could ever add to an existing video would be a point of glowing orb moving around. So are the videos real? There are now a lot of them. There are now a lot of them.

So here's something that somebody said on social media that just put all of it to rest for me. If these UAPs which are over a lot of them are over American bases or over American assets if they were really a threat you would see American military trying like hell to shoot them down even if they didn't know what they were. You know the American military would be all over it. You know that you'd see the drones but then you would immediately see helicopters and jets and stuff trying to figure out what they are and you don't see that. The only explanation is it's our stuff. Am I wrong about that? If the American military is not reacting to flying objects they can't identify routinely over their bases it's got to come from the base or it's got to be an American military asset right? Well you're saying no how could it be anything except ours if we're not responding to it. I don't see any possibility that it could be a real threat or even a real unknown at least to the military people who directly below it. There's no scenario in which they're not lighting up the sky if they can't identify flying risks above a military facility. I mean even if they didn't think it was a military risk they'd still shoot the thing down because it's over a military base. Yeah it doesn't matter who it is. If you're over a military base and you're hovering and you're looking dangerous am I wrong? They're going to shoot it down or at least they're going to try. So the fact that you don't even see any attempted interaction is pretty confirmatory that either the pictures are fake or the military knows exactly what they are but they can't say because it's private. But that wouldn't explain the ones in other countries. I think the other countries probably just drones you know people have drones and some of them are operating in some kind of coordinated way etc. But the other possibility that's more exciting is that there might be some Chinese tanker ship you know off the coast of America and they're doing testing. You know every once in a while they'll release a dozen drones and watch the response from America and then maybe America knows that's what's happening or suspects that's what's happening and they don't want to give away the response so maybe they're letting them do it to think that we don't have a response but maybe we do. I don't know. I'm not buying that. So I think that's a little too much to accept. So I'm going to go with the ones that are over American bases are just our own technology because of course we're doing advanced drone coordinated attacks. Of course we are. Every modern country is working on that right now. So obviously there should be a whole bunch of American drones practicing military stuff above bases. It's the most obvious thing I would expect to see if everything is working the way it should. But the ones in other countries and the other videos they might be just fake videos. So I think it might be a combo of American stuff that's perfectly safe to Americans and some fake videos from other places and other times and stuff like that. That's my best guess but I don't know.

So Taylor Lorenz continues to get in trouble. I've tried every day to not do a story about her because she's always in the news and it's always some ridiculous story about something she said or believes and other people want to mock her and it never felt like there was enough meat to it for me to talk about her. She was just sort of a character in social media and the news that people like talking about. Wasn't really enough for me. But I'm going to talk about her today because she made a little news and I'm just going to read the quote because the exact wording matters.

So TMZ was talking to her and TMZ challenged and said you said people wonder why we want these executives dead. Now the interpretation of that is that Taylor Lorenz understands why somebody would want to kill a healthcare insurance executive which would be too far for a public figure. That would be too far because if you say you understand it that's just one step from condoning it. So that's too much for a public figure. So TMZ I think by the way I always have respect for TMZ. I've told you the story but once there was fake news about me some years ago TMZ was the only ones who called to ask me if it was true and I said no it's not true here's the context and then they didn't run a story about it. They were the only ones who fact checked a rumor about me by calling me and saying is that true? Oh no that's not true. So I like TMZ and I like that they're pushing back.

So here's what Taylor Lorenz said. She said I'm with the people. It is natural to wish that the people who run those systems would suffer the same fate as your loved one. Am I going to shed tears or have a lot of empathy for somebody who has facilitated the deaths of thousands of innocent Americans? Yikes. Yikes.

Now if this were just her weird little Taylor Lorenz opinion then I wouldn't be talking about it because that's what I've ignored up till now. It's just her opinion so I ignore it. But this isn't just her opinion. I think in this case she's doing something useful meaning that she's telling you how she feels which is different from how she would act or how her sense of reason would guide her and she is basically saying that it's not that unusual to expect people to have that kind of mental processing toward what we're seeing. And I gotta say I'm not going to endorse her words but you all feel that too right? Right? Is she completely wrong? I don't think she's wrong about how some portion of America feels about it. Now of course it's a big country so people have opinions all over the place as they always do. But is it true that a substantial number of Americans are so mad about what has happened to them and maybe people they know or love in terms of healthcare being denied or any other bad behavior is it weird that people are let's say more forgiving of a tragic murder than you'd expect if it were some other situation? You know I think she's sort of a canary in the coal mine here in the sense that it's useful for her to have said this out loud. It's useful. So I'm actually going to give her credit for this. She's taking a lot of heat but she put it out there and I think it's worth talking about.

But I'm going to add this context. When I read the news which I do every day every other story makes me want to kill somebody. Have you had that experience? That you know I don't recommend it and I'm not going to give you any examples but just think about the stories I've told you just in the news you know not just today but in the past. Just pick any period past week or so. How many of those stories have at least one person in the story that privately I'm thinking to myself you know if something happened to them it might be a better world. A lot. A lot. And I asked myself is this what social media is doing to me? Is social media turning me into somebody who immediately thinks of violence when I'm just reading the news and it's not about war. I mean if it's about war of course but when I read about let's say all right I'm going to give you an example. I'm probably going to get canceled for this. No I'm not going to give you example. It's too easy. I don't want to give my enemies such an easy path of attack. But let's just say there are a lot of things in let's say the justice domain. The justice domain I won't be more particular than that. Aren't there a lot of things in the justice domain where you're saying at the very least I feel like the people in charge should be the ones in jail right? And this is very different from how I've seen the news in the past. There are a whole bunch of stories where my first instinct is oh those people need to be in jail. And I'll say jail because I don't want to say anything violent but you know jail so that we're within the legal process. There's something about social media but maybe there's something about the nature of the stories which is causing me to immediately go to thoughts of violence for every other story in the news. It's the weirdest thing. So I think we should be really aware of what's happening to us psychologically just the fact that we so quickly go to the violent solution. You know if you're smart you're not going to say it out loud you're not going to act on it you're not going to incentivize anybody to do it but boy you can't stop thinking it can you? It's hard not to think it.

All right here's another great mystery of the world. If you spend time on social media as I do at least in the siloed corner of social media that I find myself every single day with no exceptions every single day there'll be a new story about a new study that says the COVID vaccination caused all manner of healthcare problems and that it was way worse than if you just let people get sick. Now I'm not saying that's true. I'm saying that my corner of social media reports it as true with new data new research there's a new person who's talking about it every day. So sometimes the claims are that it's causing major deaths people dropping dead. Sometimes the claims are you know more heart attacks sometimes more cancer. Today on the Vigilant Fox account on X there's another study. Epidemiologist Nicolas Hulscher reported that the vaccinated have way higher depression and way higher anxiety and way higher sleep disorders. And I don't know what's true.

So my take on all COVID related data is that none of it is credible. Not the stuff that says you're safe and not the stuff that says you're not. Now one of them is true. It's either safe or it's not. And when I say safe I mean safe for a shot right. So every kind of medical procedure tends to be bad for at least a few people so not completely safe but I have no idea. So here's a little experiment for you. Find your favorite AI and ask your AI if there are any problems with people who are vaccinated in terms of more cancer more heart disease more mental illness or anything whatever you want. Just ask your favorite AI. So I asked Perplexity because Perplexity is like really good and you know what it said? It said there are no known health problems from the vaccination beyond you know there's always a few people who have a bad reaction to everything. No unusual bad reaction. Do you believe that? It's from a search engine yeah. I'm pretty sure that no matter which search engine you asked it would say that the vaccination was as safe as anything else we do in the medical world. Now I'm not saying that's true. I'm saying that the AI will tell you it's true. And at the same time I will wake up and every single day there's another expert telling me that it's like just killed millions of people and they're dropping like flies and they're going crazy and they're getting early onset of everything in the world. Which of these is true?

Let me just say this. If you're sure you know which one of those is true you shouldn't be. You shouldn't be because there's really no way to know. I don't believe there's any way to know. You might be guessing right because one of them is right. Right it's either perfectly safe or it's way more dangerous than we thought it was. It can't both be true. So somebody who's watching this is completely correct but not because you could know. It's just it's a 50/50. So some of you are going to guess right. I'm genuinely genuinely confused. I cannot tell if there's even any way to know right. So in the comments I'm saying is there even any way to know. And the trouble is that everybody who studies it seems to have some motivation. They're either starting at looking for trouble and oh they found it or they're starting at making sure that there is no trouble. Oh we didn't find any trouble. So I think everybody in that domain is motivated one way or another even if they're not aware of it.

I'm seeing somebody yell in all capitals it has random effects because it goes to random parts of your body. Now if that were true and it might be then you would see that everything would be increased in terms of bad health. Now when I asked Perplexity after it said you know there's no indication that the shots have any problems at all I said but is it true that there's a big increase in health problems and it said yes there is in just the last few years there's a major increase in a whole range of health problems. And so then I asked why what's causing this major change in health problems. Do you know what it said? Lifestyle. It said that in just the last few years there's been enough of a lifestyle and demographic change and demographic that explains what we're seeing. Do you believe that? Now part of it is in any five year period America gets a lot older because we're not replacing with young people as fast so it should be that if everything was working properly that every year from now on there will be much greater health problems than usual because we're older right. So if I were to predict will next year have more health problems more heart attacks more diabetes than last year almost certainly right. There's no way it's going to be less next year because we don't have cures for it and there will be more old people eating junk food and our food is probably getting worse and you know social media's turning us into couch potatoes anyway. So I don't know. I have no idea.

And that ladies and gentlemen concludes my prepared thoughts for today and I think you can see the problem. I can't trust any data. I can't trust any video and everything's racist against white people white men mostly. So that's your world and I don't know what any of those UAPs are but I'm not worried about it. I've decided not to worry about the UAPs and just not worried about it.

All right the answer to your question is yes but I don't want to tell you what the question was. This is BS. I like the all capitals people so I can mock them. This is BS. You people are letting him not look at the data and call it bad. Okay you sound drunk. Are you drunk? The all capitals people I just assume are elderly and drunk.

All right just taking a look at your comments. Not trusting data is the same as not looking. No if you don't trust it there's no point looking at it. There's no point looking at what you don't trust. If you came to me today and said I am the greatest epidemiologist in the world my reputation is spotless here is my randomized control study do you know what I would say? I'm not even going to look at it because we're not in a world where anybody's randomized controlled study has any credibility at all in that domain. Maybe some other domain it might but in the domain of COVID nope. There is no data that you can trust. Some of it's right some of it's right but you'll never have any way to know. Maybe in 20 years.

All right I'm going to talk to the locals subscribers privately. Thanks for joining if you're on X or YouTube or Rumble. I will talk to you guys tomorrow but locals I'm coming at you privately in 30 seconds.

all right there you are how many of you saw my video I Live streamed yesterday of the tour of the Dilbert Museum did y all see that all right I'm pinning it right now it's pinned on my profile if you want to see a tour of the Dilbert museum at my house and now I'm going to open up your locals comments for the show of all shows it's going to be amazing all right you just hold on it's going to be incredible good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization and also possibly cat civilization but we'll get to that later if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that nobody can understand with their tiny shiny human brains all you need for that is a copper marker glass a tanker gels a Stein a canteen jug a flask a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee and join me now for the unparallel pleasure the dopamine hit of the day the thing that makes everything better it's called the simultaneous Sip and it happens now go ah Sublime well I'd like to do a demonstration now of my um Powers now this is something that I I demonstrated privately on a live stream just before I went live here with the people in locals and what I'm going to do is uh I'm borrowing from a um a meme that's on the internet now that you can you can tell your cat to come to you if you use the proper cat language so there's actually a a phrase or a word that apparently will call your house cat to you so I'm going to do this now so turn up your speaker if you have a cat in the house and watch what happens you ready for this this this is real by the way so turn up your speaker if you have a cat and Watch What Happens now if it's the same as the live stream I did just before this one you can have your cats running from all your rooms toward you now tell me in the comments as we go so other people can see if it if it's working out but while you're waiting for your cats to attack you and jump on your laps which they're doing right now yeah they some are coming some are not the comments are coming in now cats are coming some are coming some are not all right well keep an eye on that so scientist according to the University of Bristol they've uh well that's where it is actually the the research the University of Bristol and uh they've created the world's first carbon 14 Diamond battery Diamond battery yeah so now you can keep your spouse uh powered up at all times so I was I was looking for a diamond battery this one uh could last uh thousands of years so what makes it special is how long it lasts and it could last in terrible environments like space so you could send in a space probe and have a diamond battery and it would stay powered for I don't know hundreds or thousands of years so I don't think this will be in common usage but if you need anything that needs power for a few thousand years you got an option Diamond battery well did you know that if you eat ultr processed food you have a higher risk of depressive symptoms according to S poost of course you did or you could have just asked me yes if you eat crap food your mental state will decline if you eat healthy food your mental state will be better how many times do we need to test this would this be the millionth research study that showed that if you eat right your brain works better and you're happier I don't think it's ever going in any other direction has it has there ever been a a scientific study that said H we we took these people and we made them eat right for a month and everything went off the rails they couldn't concentrate when they were eating right not once 100% of the science is all in the same direction your body is your brain good news uh Trump has introduced a trump fragrance okay there's a there's a theme today so the theme for the show is that I can't tell what's true today there's a lot of news today but unlike most days where you go oh that's probably true I don't know about that one yeah that looks true today almost every story I looked at I thought I don't know if that's true so is this true is it true that Trump has a introduced a trump fragrance called fight fight fight or is that just an internet meme does anybody know if that's true because the funniest part about it is even even if you like Trump a lot as a politician do you really want to smell like him I've never once never once have I you know awakened in the morning it's like oh if only if only I could find a way to smell like President Trump now I'm not saying it smells bad I'm just saying it never really occurred to me to to try to match his fragrance so I can't tell if it's even real is that real I'm looking in the comments I'm not seeing anybody say it's not real I don't know there's just something wonderful about it the the whole story meanwhile here's the Second Story I can't tell if it's real there is a an alleged video which I watched that seems to show K Harris what they say is her home residence and some kind of a holiday party and if it's a real video she is really drunk but it's a grainy video and it's in the age of AI fakes so I don't know I have no idea if that's real and that's going to be my theme for today as I told you like I know is is the Trump fragrance real uh I have no idea is that video of comml Harris that looks drunk but also could easily be AI Is that real I don't know I mean I really genuinely don't I'm not even leaning in One Direction I don't know if that's real but it would be easier to fake a video if it were a grainy video where you couldn't see the lips sinking to the AI that would be the at the moment that would be the tell so I don't trust that one but it could be real it might be real I don't know meanwhile K Harris's campaign manager Quenton fols who some some say he's the one who folked everything up Quenton folks um but uh he was talking about why they didn't have a Democrat primary and he said quote to open up a Democrat primary you would have had black women be highly upset if it was not KLA Harris um really we're we're saying this out loud now that that it had to be a black woman it had to be Comm Harris and that was basically the that's all they could live with well here's what I think now I've said this a few times but every time there's more evidence for it I'll remind you I don't think the Democrat Party can recover normally you expect somebody loses a major election you know they're actually come back stronger the next time because they know what they did wrong they get a better candidate they they improve their game and they come back stronger but I don't think you can come back from the identity politics because once you've convinced all your people in your grab bag of of a party that uh their identity needs to win then they're going to play that way they're going to play for their identity to win but not just nationally they're going to play for a win within the Democrat Party too which should destroy it because if they can't think like a party and they can only think like their identity you can't really make a movement out of that have you noticed that the magga people all are on the same page hey hey Maga person randomly tap you on the shoulder hey hey do you do you support Trump yes I do and what give me an idea what your sort of philosophy is that's that's part of this and they would say something like America First are are you also for America First oh you're on my team that's it it's simple so so Trump put together a you know a pirate ship of Common Sense people who if you ask them what it is that binds them together it would be something that could bind you together forever America and there would be no conflict there and you know exactly what you're all trying to get okay I get it you're all America so what is it that you want to achieve oh oh the Constitution right you want the Constitution and free markets got it very easy but no I think that the the identity politics is a one-way trip I I can't even come up with a creative thought in my mind about how they could ever dig their way out because as long as you've got big Pockets that can you know can turn on them at any moment they've got to keep all the pockets happy and then they can't really have a winning winning group of people because it just won't be enough so I don't know I I think the Democrats may have found the one and only way that they could make themselves uncompetitive for the rest of history at National level they'll be fine at a local level but nationally it looks like they can never win again now I'm saying this partly recreationally and partly with a little hyperbole of course if they got a really strong candidate that's probably all would take all either side really needs is a candidate that doesn't act drunk and say stupid stuff and they've got a chance so one good candidate they'd be back in action but I don't know who that would be they don't seem to have anybody who's an obvious candidate to be that one strong candidate and have you noticed that um Obama went from chocolate Jesus to irrelevant and kind of stupid and maybe a little bit racist I've never seen anybody's reputation just just sink like that so quickly because even if you hated his policies you would have said well he's he's certainly good at what he's doing you know speaking and communicating and persuading and you know just basically acting like a president but the last few times we've seen Obama it almost looked comically incompetent why is that did he did he always have other people writing his stuff so he looked more capable than than he was when he was president has he lost a step maybe he's not maybe he's not reading as much I don't know is is there some reason he he looks to me like not the same person he was five years ago and he's not that old so it's not just age right so I don't know so I think it might be a little bit psychological meaning that if my opinions about the world have shifted then my opinion about him maybe gets shifted at the same time but I've never seen anybody go from so capable to so incompetent apparently and again it could be just a psychological phenomenon that's happening in my head but it sure looks like he turned incompetent I wasn't really expecting that because I've always I've always said that even if you don't like his politics or anything about his personality he's just really good at his job but not lately it's not his job but he's a public Communicator meanwhile Tim wal has his uh his newest explanation of why they lost he says quote uh I think we're we're going to have to understand what type of leadership do they want talking about the country he said we were pledging to be inclusive we were pledging to bring people in uh Donald Trump has said that isn't what he wants and so that's what America is leaning towards I guess for me it's to understand and learn more about America because I thought they were going to probably move towards a more positive message oh my God he's lost they are so lost they think that discriminating against white men is inclusive they don't know that they were the bad guys they don't know that the reason that magga grew is because it wasn't racist there was there was nothing stopping anybody from joining magga because it there was no identity politics but on the Democrat side they were literally overtly discriminating against white men forever and and they call that inclusive all right let me ask you a question did you hear the story about the highly qualified uh Black American man he was a he was an engineer and he went to the best schools and he had really good experience and he he couldn't get a job in Corporate America did you hear that story highly qualified and uh he just couldn't get a job because he was a black man in America no you haven't heard that story because that isn't anything that can happen in America there's probably never one case where a qualified black man let's say an engineer just to pick an example couldn't get a good job in Corporate America I'll bet there's not one you in the whole country let me say it again I don't think there's even one not even one literally one I'm not I'm not exaggerating I don't think there's one qualified black engineer who can't get a job right away anywhere now have you ever heard of a qualified white man who couldn't get a job because of Dei yes every one of you have heard that how do you you live in this country and think that black men can't get a job in Corporate America that's not a thing everybody who has qualifications has a job in America pretty much everybody except white men who get taken out by Dei all right um so Dei is racism and the the Democrats and Tim wals have not figured out and and Tim Walls all right why was Tim Walls even selected the VP candidate does he not know that he was not qualified to be the top of his own ticket did Tim Walls know that he couldn't have been the top of the ticket it wasn't an option if he's a Democrat did does he literally genuinely in the real world not know that he couldn't have been the top of the ticket because he's a white man like how lost is he like I'm genuinely curious I is he stupid or am I stupid because I can't figure this out like why he can't figure it out there's some mystery here I don't know what it is maybe maybe the problem's on my end well anyway yes I told you MSNBC I use it as the comedy channel um because all you have to do is simply report what they did and and it makes you laugh you don't even need any commentary are you ready ready for this all right I saw some couple of posts from Johnny Mega on X reporting what uh shows a video of Joy Reid on MSNBC and this is what Joy Reed said about Tulsi gabard she said that Tulsi gabard will be feeding Trump quote conspiracies from Russian State media uh in her job as Director of National Intelligence quote she's going to come in there and whatever RT that's Russia Today publication has fed in her life she can then feed feed that to Donald Trump now I don't need any commentary on that right that's just funny there's nothing to say about it it's just funny that this person has a TV show and people watch it I mean not many but few but that's not all of it uh she also implied um that the January Prisoners the overwhelming majority of them of course not having any kind of legal problems in the past before that um she said that when they get released she goes quote God knows what that is like when those people are showing up in the Walmarts of the Home Depot we're in for a wild ride Joy Reed thinks that when you unlock the lifetime of law- abiding white guys mostly white guys that they're going to run into Walmart and Home Depot yelling W and trying to shoot stuff what are they gonna do yeah I'm really I'm really worried about the the Ruckus at my local Home Depot when when all the January Sixers get out and and go to buy some Improvement tools to fix up their house what is wrong with her all right so yeah most of the most of the news today is about videos and photos that I think might be fake and of course over racism against white men in pretty much every story uh meanwhile New York city mayor Eric Adams who we alternately like to love and and hate because he seems to be like half a Republican and and half a Democrat so if you want a reason to dislike him you just pick whichever side you don't like and you're like ah I don't like that half I didn't realize he used to be a republican so that that would explain why you know he's he's not like a crazy leftist Democrat he's just sort of a standard middle- of the road Democrat but uh he's teasing that he might be open to switching parties he doesn't say it but but the way he answered questions about that question made you think that maybe he's not wed to his political party now it's interesting because he's an legal Jeopardy um and I wonder first of all I don't know if the corruption charges are real we live in a world where it could be lawfare you never know but I wonder if he thinks no I guess those wouldn't be probably wouldn't be federal charges anyway so he's not playing for a pardon he's not hoping to change parties and get a pardon because it's state charges right the allegations against him so we'll keep an eye on him but uh but at least we understand why he he seems a little bit one foot in each of those worlds because he's had one foot in each of those worlds there's a uh terrible data coming out of the Texas A&M Corpus Christie Colin rug is reporting this on X that apparently there's an alarming number of bottlenosed dolphins that are showing up with traces of fentanyl in their systems and they said that more than a third of the Dolphins tested uh were positive for drugs now of course the story is that that they think maybe the fenel is getting into the waste system and then gets into the ocean then the then the bottle knows Dolphins get into it but um I've got a different Theory the reason they're called called bottlenose dolphins is uh because they're they're famous as being alcoholics uh that's why they call them Bottlenose it's like oh can you get that bottle out of your nose for just a second so the regular Dolphins they don't have much of an addiction problem but the Bottle Nose well they're partyers they're partyers so maybe it's because of the Wastewater system maybe they're just getting it directly from Mexico and snorting it I don't know I don't know what's real I'm just saying I don't know much about dolphins is what I'm saying but the only thing I know for sure is they didn't do it on purpose meanwhile according to Fox News the feds have been using Banks to surveil Americans and they've asked Banks to search for terms like um like uh Trump Mega bass proops Cabellas I guess that's some kind of store that we don't have around here and Dick Sporting Goods so so apparently the uh the which group is it uh the committee uh one of the uh government committees called the uh subcommittee on the weaponization of the federal government so it's looked into this and found out that banks have been a little too Cooperative with government requests um and maybe cross the line constitutionally that's what they're looking at but I used to work for a bank and I have this advice for you there's no such thing as a confidential financial transaction unless you pay cash and then murder the person you you transacted with it if if you're doing anything financially of course the government can get at it do let let me explain uh Bank an ER mentality to you you ready hi I'm from the government I would like you to bend over and shove your own ass or shove your own head all the way up your own ass now I'll do the banker okay that that's the relationship of the government and the banks because the bank can't tell the government no the the banks are really really dependent on the laws being just the way they are to protect the banks I'm not even sure why we have Banks I mean the only thing that protects the entire banking industry is that they they somehow have you know cooperated with with the government to the point where they've got basically a legal Monopoly because don't you think that Elon Musk Could Build a Better Bank on an app in about an afternoon yes right modern technology would allow you to build a bank on an app and have every feature you ever wanted without any of the banking structure so they pretty much have to do whatever the government tells them they would be afraid of getting on the bad side of any of that government stuff so yeah you never you never you were never safe your bank was never going to stand between you and the government snooping into your stuff Bank won't do that it's bad for business so no surprise there well you probably heard that the uh Daniel penny case has taken a turn so apparently the jury said that they were hung on the first count of second degree manslaughter so the first count is the highest degree of of risk and would be the most jail sentenced there there's a lower level charge um but the top level charge the judge said well if you can't agree on this we'll basically dismiss it now go back think about the lower charge I guess that'll happen on Monday so here's what the people who know way more than I do about the law and the courts are telling me so I'm listening to people like Mike cernovich and people have legal backgrounds and uh Jonathan Turley um is writing about it so let me just tell you what Jonathan Turley says because uh having me interpret legal stuff is a bad idea so it's better to hear from people who know what they're talking about so toly says so now the judge has dismissed the first count on second degree manslaughter and is allowing the jury to consider the second count after the weekend this is precisely what brag was hoping for in setting up a possible compromise verdict now what you need to know about that phrase a compromise verdict if I understand it correctly is that the judge is trying to get people on the jury to think not so much about guilty or Innocent but rather how they can be done with this process and the way they can be done with the process is to be unanimous about something and if they're closer to being unanimous we don't know this but if they're closer to being unanimous unguilty then he's going to say go back in on the lower charge and you don't get to go home you know until I say so so you could imagine that the the indirect pressure on the jurists would be to first of all do what the other jurist want them to do conform so they can go home and uh it would kind of bias you toward well you know if we were nice enough to let them off on the top charge but we don't want to be so nice that we let them completely free because then we have to live in the world and answer to all of our neighbors and we can't so wouldn't it be better for for the jury wouldn't it be better for the jury to find him guilty on a lesser charge but still goes to jail but is not as bad as the top one so that's a terrible situation to put the jury in you're you're really causing the jury to think about themselves instead of The Facts of the case that's how I understand the compromise situation so if that's the case I think the whole thing should be thrown out I mean I think the Judge probably should go to jail don't you I don't think that's a thing I mean I don't I don't think that for this Behavior anybody ever goes to jail but if I look at what crimes were committed and I look at the videos of Daniel peny I say to myself huh I do not see Daniel Penny intending to do anything wrong or doing anything wrong there's no intention and I didn't see anything wrong uh there's a tragedy but I didn't see him act wrong but what about the judge the judge is signaling an intention to be wrong meaning creating a situation that no judge should create it's got to be intentional and pushing them toward the wrong decision to find what I think is an innocent man guilty and sending him to jail so that the jurors themselves can have a nicer week that is evil on a level that's almost hard to comprehend it's just such a casual evil that this would be a judge who just wakes up and goes to work and says some stuff in the context of his job so it so it's not like you know the gas chamber or something where where the visual of it and the thought of it is you overwhelmingly horrible but this is pretty overwhelmingly horrible the fact that you can casually just go up and go to your job and send some innocent guy to jail intentionally and and then the next day you just wake up and go to your job again now this judge if we lived in a world that was fair according to me because I get to decide what's fair it's my my live stream uh I think the Judge probably should be in jail already and I think Bragg and and anybody involved in this because as uh as Turley tells us um he says um the prosecutors hope to pressure the jury into voting on the low standard of criminal negligence so that's essentially what I'm saying and then toly says outside of New York or a few other cities this case would likely either have not been brought or would have collapsed quickly before the jury now Charlie knows more than I do about the legal stuff obviously and he says this wouldn't even be charged in most places in America no I believe that's true so um I would say that if New York is going to play with a a set of rules that's so different from what you and I think is realistic um we should definitely not do business with New York I wouldn't I wouldn't take my business there I wouldn't travel there I would just stay away from that just stay away from New York so I think if if Penny goes down because of this and it's not corrected immediately in some way I think we have to take the whole State down because New York State the citizens which includes some of my family members so sorry about that who who might be listening at at the moment uh I think the state has to pay I I think there's got to be a price and it's got to be a lot and I I think if the GDP of New York State went down 20% the next year that might be about right I mean it should be really expensive because if this is the lowest level of Social and American Behavior you could ever even imagine this is so bad and uh there's another theme for today's show and I'm going to say this as carefully as possible I never am in favor of violence of course and I would never promote it or endorse it or you know glamorize it but it's certainly getting harder every day every time I read the news I think huh I I wonder if there's somebody who's going to become violent over this because it certainly looks like it's inviting it but I don't I don't favor that so don't do that but it but you can't not think about it because there's just so many so many ways that the news is so horrible you think H speaking of which Let's uh talk about the healthc care Hitman now uh I was watching Jesse water show yesterday and uh apparently they've already given the The Hitman a a nickname the healthc care Hitman I think uh CNN had a different branding for it I may have this wrong but it might have been the the uh the CEO killer or something so the news is trying to Brand it like they always do so that they've got an ongoing story because they love the ongoing stories especially the criminal ones and so the the first thing you need to know is that let me let me this is going to be hard because I need to say this is delicately as possible to keep myself out in trouble do you think that this if this had not been a healthc care executive and a white guy do you think that they would have called him the healthc care Hitman the the person who did the murder because it's almost like you're you're giving him a clever little nickname I don't know it makes makes me wonder if there's if we're if we're having too much fun with the story and we wouldn't do it if it were George Floyd right if George Floyd got murdered we we wouldn't be we wouldn't be giving a clever nickname to um you know Derek schauen right Chauvin never got like a clever nickname it it's almost as if this is revealing that there's sort of an undercurrent in America where people are not so sad about this right and I'm not saying that's good so don't get me wrong I'm just saying that in in a number of ways I'm getting this subtle suggestion that people don't feel bad about this crime partly because it's a white man let's be honest it was a wealthy white guy and the country just doesn't have the same kind of empathy for wealthy older white guys we just don't and so that's part of it but there's also Lots a mystery to it and the uh alleged shooter if you believe at least one of the photos which I don't believe by the way would be a really handsome young guy so now you've got this you know apparently a very smart killer who's got his own clever nickname the healthcare Hitman and and the one picture of him that they're trying to sell us on which I don't believe by the way uh he's really goodlooking like really good looking like movie star good-look I don't know there there there's something terribly wrong about how movie perfect this is and that we're treating it as entertainment and I am too so I'm I'm I'm as guilty as the people I'm talking about so the the the effect that I'm seeing in other people which is what I'm describing I feel it too I I feel like my own sense of empathy has been and hijacked into some kind of recreational mode so so I apologize for that uh but there are a lot of interesting things about the story for example uh the fact that he got out of New York so apparently he left on foot got a bike took a bike into the park they say he left a backpack there his backpack we'll talk about that I don't believe that either and uh took a little known bus station that's lesser used so the fewer Witnesses and got out of the state they think they also think that he used a veterinarian gun now this is not everybody but there's some thought that he used a veterinarian gun which is apparently I never I never knew there was one but because there might be other animals in the neighborhood of when you're putting down an animal such as let's say cattle or something um you don't want to scare the other animals so you have this thing that works at very close range literally you're supposed to put it up to the skull of the animal you're going to put down is so it's not even meant to shoot 20 feet I don't believe it's meant for one shot in the head close up I think that's all it's for now that's only if it's truly a veterinarian gun which I never even heard of before um so here are the things that I think I know for sure his his quick use of the gun whether he was putting in a new shell or clearing it there's a little uh little disagreement on that he certainly knew what he was doing so he seemed to understand the weapon well enough to know that he had to do a thing after every shot whatever the thing was and then he did it but if he were if he were a professional he would have used the veterinarian gun the way the veterinarians use it which is he would have run up cuz the guy was just walking he was only what 10 or 15 ft in front of him all he had to do is take a few few running steps bang and then drop the gun if there was no DNA on it but he didn't so so here's the thing you've all seen now probably the the face where they claim it's another picture of the shooter but this time he pulled his mask down to flirt with somebody at at a hostel and you can clearly see his face now I'm going to tell you something that I haven't seen in the news yet but have any of you ever experienced the facial recognition apps that are currently available now I I don't know if they're available to the public maybe they're only available to law enforcement at this point but um I'm going to tell you something that maybe you didn't know about them they would identify this guy 100% of the time there is plenty of his face showing a facial recognition app would pick him up 100% of the time there's no way he's not on social media which is how the facial recognition finds you there's no way he's not on social media he he has a very distinctive face and you can see the whole face there is no chance that if that's a real picture of the shooter that law enforcement doesn't already know who he is it would be about 5 SE in fact if if you have the facial recognition app you could probably recognize I bet you could get an ID just from the photo that's on social media does anybody have access to one if you have one of the facial recognition that just put it on the phone it'll tell you who that guy is so I don't think there's any chance that if you show that picture to the whole world that he's not been identified by now do you think that's real do you think there's any chance that that picture is clearly as you can see his face and he's so distinctive and it's been on every TV show everywhere and you think that a guy who looks like that and at that age doesn't have a you know families and friends and people who would recognize him immediately everything about this story is off first of all the story where you see is is his face clearly it's obviously not the shooter he's wearing different clothes as different backpack it's obviously not him because if it were him we would already have him we'd know who he is because his face is completely recognizable if the public hadn't done it the facial recognition software would do it literally in a second in one second you just go in fact you if you have it on your phone just call up the picture and just put your phone next to it if you've got one of those apps click on it and in one second it'll tell you who it is if he's a real person now some have said it might be like a Hollywood mask or something maybe but that was a pretty big smile for a mask I don't know it's hard to pull off that smile I think if you had a mask you would maybe try to prevent smiling because that would be one place you could spot there was something wrong uh yeah he doesn't have the same jacket and then the police say they found the backpack in the park and then the backpack doesn't even look like the backpack he was wearing say some people so none of the colors are right the person isn't right it's all wrong it's all wrong now I'm going to tell you a story from my real life that that matches this story you won't believe that there's any story that matches this story but there is my first job in Corporate America was a bank teller and I got robbed twice at gunpoint during my job as a teller one of those times uh the guy who robbed me was this uh older man I thought he was maybe late 60s um kind of disheveled gray hair losing Most of It kind of smallish about my size and so when the FBI came they said all right can you describe the guy who robbed you I described him that way this old guy with a little bit of gray hair blah blah blah and then they came back and they said um are you sure you pulled the alarm on time because there's a secret way that tellers pulled the alarm so the cameras will capture the the crime and I said yeah I'm positive like as soon as he asked for the money I did the thing where you activate the camera and they said because there's nobody on the film that looks anything like what you described so they said we're going to take you down to the secret FBI headquarters and we're going to show you the video and you tell me that's the guy who who robbed you I'm like sure easy because the guy he was very distinctive and he had a long long coat on I mean I I had Perfect Memory of him and my boss um soon as the the robber left I alerted my boss and my boss followed him down the street like from a distance but just to get a ID and when my boss was asked to describe him he described him the same way I did older guy gray hair got a small Long Jacket so we had the same description and then the FBI shows me the video uh of the moment and they say all right is this guy standing in front of the teller window is that the one that robbed you I was like no that's not even close so they showed me this video of a guy who looked like a young Clint Eastwood with a big mustache you know solid dark air probably mid-30s yeah and had a sport coat on didn't have a long like you know jacket like the guy I saw and I was said no obviously not so they said watch this and then manually they could um they could uh rewind the video and I watched that guy rob me on video so a guy who looked like Clint Eastwood on video was the actual guy who robbed me the guy I saw very clearly and described within seconds I mean minutes I guess of the actual robbery and my boss independently who did not talk to me before that we described him as a completely different person explain that and it's even weirder once I saw the person on video that looked like that young Clint Eastwood I said first of all I've never seen that guy in person but I've definitely seen him a lot because he's got a picture right on the wall where I worked saying that he was a bank rubber who was you know he was a known Bank rubber he was literally on the wall as a known bank robber and he looked just like the video I I recognized him immediately when I saw the video but I didn't recognize him in person you look like an old man so you tell me what happened it's been one of the great mysteries of my life now I got robbed twice the other one I picked out of a lineup easily as did all the other people easy he he looked exactly like I described him picked them out of a lineup no problem but sometimes people don't look like look like they look on video that's all I can tell you all I can tell you is that sometimes the video doesn't match what you thought you saw in person so I don't know um CNN said that the bullet casings did have some inscription in them something engraved that would suggest it was a healthcare related um problem meaning that he somebody maybe got denied some coverage because had that deny delay title of the book on it now I had predicted that in the fog of crime you would ultimately find out that there is not the inscription on the bullets I'm going to stick with that I'm going to stick with it even though CNN just confirmed that there is something on the bullets and they even gave details and I'm still going to stick with there's nothing on the bullets now you might say to me but Scott that's a very bad bet because everybody's reporting there's something on the bullets I'm not there yet I'm not there I'm going to need to see a picture of those bullets I'm going to need to see a picture because I think I think there's a problem that maybe people are hearing it from other news sources and you know maybe you maybe it's just one fake story that got Amplified I'm going to wait but maybe I I'm not going to rule out that it's on there but not quite buying it yet everything about this story looks hinky anyway so we'll we'll wait on that um as one of the January Sixers said uh and I'm paraphrasing uh I stood outside the capital on January 6 and had no criminal record did not post anything on social media and the FBI found me in two weeks okay now hold that in your head they they found that guy in two weeks now there were other videos there so of course they could pick them up you think that they don't know who this guy is I'm having real trouble believing that they don't know who at least the one with his face showing is so there's something very deeply wrong about this meanwhile over in El Salvador I don't know how this is real either so the president uh buelli he just says El Salvador has discovered they have a$3 trillion doll unmined gold fields and now he's moving to decriminalize um some of the mining laws or get rid of some regulations I guess so that they can mine it $3 trillion doll of unmined gold they also found according to the president gallium talium tin and other materials needed for you know the future so so this young guy this young good-looking guy comes in becomes the president of El Salvador brings in didn't he bring in Bitcoin as as their legal currency which turned out to be a genius move apparently and uh then he solves all of crime in the country by locking up just basically everybody who even looked a little criminal and now he just by luck he happens to be in charge when they find $3 trillion do of extra money that would turn El Salvador from you know a wannabe I don't know what would you say it a uh not a third world country but it would basically put him right right at the top tier of economic powers in the world and this just happened by coincidence the same time the guy who did all the other good stuff is in power this is weird like it just seems too simulation or too too many coincidences I don't know meanwhile over in Syria um Iranian assets are pulling out so the Iranians of course were supporting Assad as were the Russians but the rebels are making such progress and the um I guess Assad's forces are not putting up much resistance so the reporting is that the Iranian assets the generals and the advisers and whatever are just running because they know they can't do it themselves and they're not getting help from the military so they're just abandoning so it looks like Assad is going to maybe Retreat his forces to the most important defensible part which is the part that's Russian Port so the area around the Russian Port because if they don't protect that then Russia doesn't have any reason to protect them so what if Russia doesn't protect them and what if they lose that port and the rebels take over that changes a lot of things doesn't it it and again I'll say that I think that what's happening in Syria has to be seen as part of all the variables for war from you know Hezbollah to Hamas to Ukraine I think it's all related because it's all the same players so this gives them lots of variables to say all right if you give us a little relief on Syria I could do a little more on Gaza but if you pull back on ESB we could maybe let Iran do a little more trade so I think it's going to be something where all those variables are in play we might not know it in other words there could be some secret components of the negotiation that are not public because you know maybe Iran can do things secretly that they don't want to tell their public they're doing you know something like that so I feel like the Syria situation makes the odds of a larger deal you know with Russia and Ukraine and United States and Iran more Poss not less so it feels to me like a positive situation that it's moving in in a Direction that's let's say destabilizing for Iran and for Russia and also showing their weaknesses to the world because neither Iran nor Russia can seemingly can protect Assad at the moment from Rebels it's not even the strongest military anyway the other biggest story is that all over social media there are all these videos of drones or possibly uaps or UFOs or secret technology and I had been ignoring it largely up until now um because I thought oh it's just it's just somebody's balloon or it's just you know it's just somebody's uh drone they're flying around but today I wake up and there's like videos from the East Coast videos from the West Coast videos from Argentina I think a few other places in which there were these glowing orbs doing things in sequence in one case they seem to be going into the ocean and remember my main theme for today is that all of the news is either overtly racist against white men and and that's what the story is in one form or another or it's video or photos that I can't tell are real so so we got the KLA Harris drunk video I don't know if that's real we got the healthc care Hitman full facial that somehow they can't they can't identify him from the full facial picture I don't know that that's real and then we've got what looks to be dozens of videos of these anomalous flying things and I don't know if any of them are real because it seems like the easiest thing you could fake would be to do some AI take a regular video and then add some glowing orbs how hard would it be to add some glowing orbs that literally the easiest thing you could ever add to an existing video would be a point of glowing orb moving around so are the videos real there there are now a lot of them there are now a lot of them so here's something that somebody said on social media that just put all of it to rest for me if these uaps which are over a lot of them are over American bases or over American assets if they were really a threat you would see American Military trying like hell to shoot him down even if they didn't know what they were you know the American Military would be all over over it you know that you'd see the drones but then you would immediately see you know helicopters and jets and stuff trying to figure out what they are and you don't see that the only explanation is it's it's our stuff am I wrong about that it if if the American Military is not reacting to flying objects they can't identify routinely over their bases it's got to come from the base or it's Got To Be An American Military asset right well you're saying no how could it be anything except ours if we're not responding to it I I don't see any possibility that it could be a real threat or even a real unknown at least to the military people who directly below it there's no scenario in which they're not lighting up the sky if they can't identify flying risks above a military facility I mean even if they didn't think it was a military risk they'd still shoot the thing down because it's over a military base yeah it doesn't matter who it is if you're over a military base and you're hovering and you're you know you're looking dangerous Am I Wrong they're going to shoot it down or at least they're going to try so the fact that you don't even see any attempted interaction it's is pretty confirmatory that either the pictures are fake or the military knows exactly what they are but they can't say because it's you know private but that wouldn't explain the ones in other countries I think the other countries probably just drones you know people have drones and some of them are operating in some kind of coordinated way Etc but the other possibility that's more exciting is that uh there might be some Chinese tanker ship you know off the coast of America and they're doing testing you know every once in a while they'll release a dozen drones and watch watch the response from America and then maybe maybe America knows that's what's happening or suspects that's what's happening and they don't want to give away the response so maybe they're letting them you know do it to think that we don't have a response but maybe we do I don't know I'm not buying that so I think that's that's a little too too much to accept so I'm going to go with the ones that are over American bases are just our own technology because of course we're doing um Advanced drone coordinated attacks of course we are every every modern country is working on that right now so obviously there should be a whole bunch of American um drones practicing military stuff above bases it's the most obvious thing I would expect to see if everything is working the way it should but the ones in other countries and the other videos they might be just fake videos so I think it might be a combo of American stuff that's perfectly safe to Americans and some fake videos from other places and other times and stuff like that that's my best guess but I don't know um so Taylor Loren continues to get in trouble I I've tried every day to not do a story about her cuz she's always in the news and it's always some ridiculous story about something she said or believes and other people want to mock her and it never it never felt like there was enough meat to it for me to talk about her she was just sort of a a character in social media and the news that people like talking about wasn't really enough for me but uh I'm going to talk about her today because she made a little news um and I'm just going to read the quote because the exact wording matters so TMZ was talking to her and TMZ challenged and said you said people wonder why we want these Executives dead now the interpretation of that is that Taylor Len understands why somebody would want to kill a health care insurance executive which would be too far for a public figure that would be too far because if you say you understand it that's H that's just one step from condoning it so that's that's too much for a public figure so TMZ I think um by the way I I always have respect for TMZ I always I've told you the story but once there was fake news about me some years ago TMZ was the only ones who called to ask me if it was true and I said no it's not true here's the context and then they didn't run a story about it they were the only ones who fact jacked a rumor about me by calling me and saying is that true oh no that's not true so uh so I like TMZ and I like that they're pushing back um so here's what Taylor Len said she said uh I'm with the people it is natural to wish that the people who run those systems would suffer the same fate as your loved one am I going to shed tears or have a lot of empathy for somebody who has facilitated the deaths of thousand of innocent Americans yikes yikes now if this were just her weird little um Taylor Loren's opinion then I wouldn't be talking about it because that that's what I've ignored up till now it's just her opinion so I ignore it but this isn't just her opinion I I think in this case she's doing something useful meaning that she's telling you how feels which is different from how she would act or or how her sense of reason would would guide her and she is basically saying that it's not that unusual to expect people to have that kind of mental mental processing toward what we're seeing and I gotta say um I'm not going to endorse her words but you all feel that too right right is she completely wrong I don't think she's wrong about how some portion of America feels about it now of course it's a big country so people have opinions all over the place as they always do but is it true that a substantial number of Americans are so mad about what has happened to them and maybe people they know or love uh in terms of healthcare being denied or any other bad behavior is it weird that people are let's say more uh forgiving of a of a tragic murder than you'd expect if it were some other situation you know I I think she's sort of a canary in the coal mine here in the sense that it's useful for her to have said this out loud it's useful so I'm actually going to give her credit for this um she's taking a lot of heat but she put it out there and I think it's worth talking about um but I'm going to add this context when I read the news which I do every day every other story wants me uh makes me want to kill somebody have you had that experience that you know I don't recommend it and I and I'm not going to give you any examples but just think about the stories I've told you just in the news you know not just today but in the past just pick any period past week or so how many of those stories have at least one person in the story that privately I'm thinking to myself you know if something happened to them it might be a better world a lot a lot and I asked myself is this what social media is doing to me is social media turning me into somebody who immediately thinks of violence when I'm just reading the news and it's not about War I mean if it's about war of course but when I when I read about let's say all right I'm going to give you an example I'm probably going to get canceled for this no I'm not going to give you example it's too easy I don't want to give my enemies such an easy an easy path of attack but let's just say there are a lot of things in let's say the Justice domain the Justice domain I won't be more particular than that aren't there a lot of things in the Justice domain where you're saying at the very least I feel like the people in charge should be the ones in jail right and this is very different from how I've seen the news in the past I there are a whole bunch of stories where my first instinct is oh those people need to be in jail and I'll say jail because I don't want to say anything violent but you know jail so that we're within the legal process there's something that's there's something about social media but maybe there's something about the nature of the stories which is causing me to immediately go to thoughts of violence for every other story in the news it's the weirdest thing so I think we should be really aware of what's happening to us psychologically just the fact that we so quickly go to the the violent solution you know if you're smart you're not going to say it out loud you're not going to act on it you're not going to incentivize anybody to do it but boy you can't stop thinking it can you it's hard not to think it all right here's uh another great mystery of the world if you spend time on social media uh as I do at least in the siloed corner of social media that I find myself every single day with no exceptions every single day there'll be a new story about a new study that says the uh covid vaccination caused all manner of Health Care problems and that it was way worse than if you just let people get sick now I'm not saying that's true I'm saying that my corner of social media reports it as true with new data new research there's a new person who's talking about it every day so sometimes the claims are um that uh it's causing major deaths people dropping dead um sometimes the claims are you know more heart attacks sometimes more cancer today um on the vigil and fox um account on X there's another study uh epid epidemiologist Nicholas holer reported that uh the vaccinated have you know way higher depression and way higher anxiety and way higher Sleep disorders and I don't know what's true so my take on all covid related data is that none of it is credible not the stuff that says you're safe and not the stuff that says you're not now one of them is true it's either safe or it's not and when I say safe I mean safe for a shot right so every kind of medical procedure tends to be bad for at least a few people so not completely safe but but uh I have no idea so here's a little experiment for you find your favorite Ai and ask your AI if there are any um any problems with people who are vaccinated in terms of more cancer more heart disease more mental illness or anything whatever you want just ask your favorite AI so I asked perplexity because perplexity is like really good and you know what I said he said there are no known health problems from the vaccination Beyond you know there's always a few people who who have a bad reaction to everything no unusual bad reaction do you believe that it's from a search engine yeah I I'm pretty sure that no matter which search engine you asked it would say that the vaccination was as safe as anything else we do in the medical world now I'm not saying that's true I'm saying that the AI will tell you it's true and at the same time I will wake up and every single day there's another expert telling me that it's like just killed millions of people and they're dropping like flies and they're going crazy and they're getting you know early onet of every thing in the world which of these is true let let me just say this if you're sure you know which one of those is true you shouldn't be you shouldn't be because there's really no way to know I I don't believe there's any way to know you could you might be guessing right because one of them is right right it's either perfectly safe or it's way more dangerous than we we thought it was it can't both true so somebody who's watching this is completely correct but not because you could know it's just it's a 5050 so some of you are going to guess right um I'm genuinely genuinely confused I cannot tell if there's even any way to know right so in the comments I'm saying is there even any way to know and the trouble is that everybody who studies it seems to have some motivation they're either starting at looking for trouble and oh they found it or they're starting it making sure that there is no trouble oh we didn't find any trouble so I think everybody in that domain is motivated one way or another even if they're not aware of it um I'm seeing somebody yell in all capitals it has random effects because it goes to random parts of your body now if that were true and it might be then you would see that um everything would be increased in terms of um bad Health now when I asked perplexity after it said you know there's no indication that the shots have any problems at all I said but is it true that there's a big increase in health problems and he said yes there is in just the last few years there's a major increase in a whole range of health problems and so then I asked why what's causing this major change in health problems do you know what it said lifestyle is said that in just the last few years there's been enough of a lifestyle and demographic change and demographic that uh explains what we're seeing do you believe that now part of it is in any 5-year period uh America gets a lot older because we're not replacing with young people as as fast so it should be that if everything was working properly that every year from now on there will be much greater health problems than usual because we're older right so if I were to predict will next year have more health problems more more heart attacks more diabetes than last year almost certainly right there's no way it's going to be less next year cuz we don't have cures for it and there will be more old people eating junk food and our our food is probably getting worse and you know social media's turning us into the couch potatoes anyway so um I don't know I have no idea and that ladies and gentlemen concludes my prepared thoughts for today and I think you can see the problem I can't trust any data I can't trust any video and everything's racist against white people white men mostly so that that's your world and I don't know what any of those U uaps are but I'm not worried about it I've decided not to worry about the uaps and just not worried about all right uh the answer to your question is yes but I don't want to tell you what the question was this is BS I like the all capitals people so I can mock them uh This is BS you people are letting him not look at the data and call it bad okay you sound drunk are you drunk the the all capitals people I just assume are are elderly and drunk um all right just taking a look at your comments not trusting data is the same as not looking no if you don't trust it there's no point looking at it there's no point looking at what you don't trust if you came to me today and said I am the greatest epidemiologist in the world my reputation is spotless here is my randomized control study do you know what I would say I'm not even going to look at it because we're not in a world where anybody's randomized controlled study has any credibility at all in that domain maybe some other domain it might but in the domain of Co nope there is no data that you can trust some of it's right some of it's right but you'll never have any way to know maybe in 20 years all right um I'm going to uh talk to the uh locals subscribers privately thanks for joining if you're on xor You.

Tube or Rumble um I will uh talk to you guys tomorrow but uh locals I'm coming at you privately in 30 seconds e e e e e e e e e for

all right there you

are how many of you saw my video I Live

streamed yesterday of the tour of the

Dilbert

Museum did y all see

that all right I'm pinning it right now

it's pinned on my profile if you want to

see a tour of the Dilbert museum at my

house

and

now I'm going to open up your locals

comments for the show of all shows

it's going to be

amazing all right you just hold on it's

going to be

[Music]

incredible good morning everybody and

welcome to the highlight of human

civilization and also possibly cat

civilization but we'll get to that later

if you'd like to take this experience up

to levels that nobody can understand

with their tiny shiny human brains all

you need for that is a copper marker

glass a tanker gels a Stein a canteen

jug a flask a vessel of any kind fill it

with your favorite liquid I like coffee

and join me now for the unparallel

pleasure the dopamine hit of the day the

thing that makes everything better it's

called the simultaneous Sip and it

happens now

go ah

Sublime well I'd like to do a

demonstration now of my um Powers now

this is something that I I demonstrated

privately on a live stream just before I

went live here with the people in

locals and what I'm going to do is uh

I'm borrowing from a um a meme that's on

the internet now that you can you can

tell your cat to come to you if you use

the proper cat language so there's

actually a a phrase or a word that

apparently will call your house cat to

you so I'm going to do this now so turn

up your speaker if you have a cat in the

house and watch what happens you ready

for this this this is real by the way so

turn up your speaker if you have a cat

and Watch What Happens

now if it's the same as the live stream

I did just before this one you can have

your cats running from all your rooms

toward you now tell me in the comments

as we go so other people can see if it

if it's working

out but while you're waiting for your

cats to attack you and jump on your laps

which they're doing right

now yeah they

some are coming some are

not the comments are coming in now cats

are coming some are coming some are not

all right well keep an eye on that so

scientist according to the University of

Bristol they've uh well that's where it

is actually the the research the

University of Bristol and uh they've

created the world's first carbon 14

Diamond battery Diamond battery yeah so

now you can keep your spouse uh powered

up at all times so I was I was looking

for a diamond

battery this one uh could last uh

thousands of years so what makes it

special is how long it lasts and it

could last in terrible environments like

space so you could send in a space probe

and have a diamond battery and it would

stay powered for

I don't know hundreds or thousands of

years so I don't think this will be in

common usage but if you need anything

that needs power for a few thousand

years you got an option Diamond

battery well did you know that if you

eat ultr processed food you have a

higher risk of depressive symptoms

according to S

poost of course you did or you could

have just asked me yes if you eat crap

food your mental state will decline if

you eat healthy food your mental state

will be better how many times do we need

to test this would this be the millionth

research study that showed that if you

eat right your brain works better and

you're

happier I don't think it's ever going in

any other direction has it has there

ever been a a scientific study that said

H we we took these people and we made

them eat right for a month and

everything went off the rails they

couldn't concentrate when they were

eating right not once 100% of the

science is all in the same

direction your body is your

brain good news uh Trump has introduced

a trump

fragrance okay there's a there's a theme

today so the theme for the show is that

I can't tell what's true today there's a

lot of news today but unlike most days

where you go oh that's probably true I

don't know about that one yeah that

looks true today almost every story I

looked at I

thought I don't know if that's true so

is this true is it true that Trump has a

introduced a trump fragrance called

fight fight fight or is that just an

internet meme does anybody know if

that's true

because the funniest part about it

is even even if you like Trump a lot as

a

politician do you really want to smell

like

him I've never once never once have I

you know awakened in the morning it's

like oh if

only if only I could find a way to smell

like President

Trump now I'm not saying it smells bad

I'm just saying it never really occurred

to me to to try to match his

fragrance so I can't tell if it's even

real is that

real I'm looking in the comments I'm not

seeing anybody say it's not

real I don't know there's just something

wonderful about it the the whole story

meanwhile here's the Second Story I

can't tell if it's real there is a an

alleged video which I watched that seems

to show K Harris what they say is her

home residence and some kind of a

holiday

party and if it's a real video she is

really

drunk but it's a grainy video and it's

in the age of AI fakes so I don't know I

have no idea if that's real and that's

going to be my theme for today as I told

you like I know is is the Trump

fragrance

real uh I have no idea is that video of

comml Harris that looks drunk but also

could easily be AI Is that

real I don't know I mean I really

genuinely don't I'm not even leaning in

One Direction I don't know if that's

real but it would be easier to fake a

video if it were a grainy video where

you couldn't see the lips sinking to the

AI that would be the at the moment that

would be the tell so I don't trust that

one but it could be real it might be

real I don't

know meanwhile K Harris's campaign

manager Quenton

fols who some some say he's the one who

folked everything up Quenton

folks um but uh he was talking about why

they didn't have a Democrat

primary and he said quote to open up a

Democrat primary you would have had

black women be highly upset if it was

not KLA

Harris

um

really we're we're saying this out loud

now that that it had to be a black woman

it had to be Comm Harris and that was

basically the that's all they could live

with well here's what I think now I've

said this a few times but every time

there's more evidence for it I'll remind

you I don't think the Democrat Party can

recover normally you expect somebody

loses a major election you know they're

actually come back stronger the next

time because they know what they did

wrong they get a better candidate they

they improve their game and they come

back stronger but I don't think you can

come back from the identity

politics because once you've convinced

all your people in your grab bag of of a

party that uh their identity needs to

win then they're going to play that way

they're going to play for their identity

to win but not just nationally they're

going to play for a win within the

Democrat Party too which should destroy

it because if they can't think like a

party and they can only think like their

identity you can't really make a

movement out of that have you noticed

that the magga people all are on the

same page hey hey Maga person randomly

tap you on the shoulder hey hey do you

do you support Trump yes I do and what

give me an idea what your sort of

philosophy is that's that's part of this

and they would say something like

America

First are are you also for America First

oh you're on my team that's it it's

simple so so Trump put together a you

know a pirate ship of Common Sense

people who if you ask them what it is

that binds them together it would be

something that could bind you together

forever America and there would be no

conflict there and you know exactly what

you're all trying to get okay I get it

you're all America so what is it that

you want to achieve oh oh the

Constitution right you want the

Constitution and free markets got it

very

easy but no I think that the the

identity politics is a one-way

trip I I can't even come up with a

creative thought in my mind about how

they could ever dig their way out

because as long as you've got big

Pockets that can you know can turn on

them at any moment they've got to keep

all the pockets happy and then they

can't really have a winning winning

group of people because it just won't be

enough so I don't know I I think the

Democrats may have found the one and

only way that they could make themselves

uncompetitive for the rest of history at

National level they'll be fine at a

local level but nationally it looks like

they can never win

again now I'm saying this partly

recreationally and partly with a little

hyperbole of course if they got a really

strong candidate that's probably all

would take all either side really needs

is a candidate that doesn't act drunk

and say stupid stuff and they've got a

chance so one good candidate they'd be

back in action but I don't know who that

would be

they don't seem to have anybody who's an

obvious candidate to be that one strong

candidate and have you noticed

that um Obama went from chocolate Jesus

to irrelevant and kind of stupid and

maybe a little bit

racist I've never seen anybody's

reputation just just sink like that so

quickly because even if you hated his

policies you would have said well he's

he's certainly good at what he's doing

you know speaking and communicating and

persuading and you know just basically

acting like a president but the last few

times we've seen

Obama it almost looked comically

incompetent why is that did he did he

always have other people writing his

stuff so he looked more capable than

than he was when he was president has he

lost a step maybe he's

not maybe he's not reading as much I

don't know is is there some reason he he

looks to me like not the same person he

was five years

ago and he's not that old so it's not

just age right so I don't know so I

think it might be a little bit

psychological meaning that if my

opinions about the world have shifted

then my opinion about him maybe gets

shifted at the same time

but I've never seen anybody go from so

capable to so

incompetent apparently and again it

could be just a psychological phenomenon

that's happening in my head but it sure

looks like he turned

incompetent I wasn't really expecting

that because I've always I've always

said that even if you don't like his

politics or anything about his

personality he's just really good at his

job but not lately it's not his job but

he's a public

Communicator meanwhile Tim wal

has his uh his newest explanation of why

they lost he says quote uh I think we're

we're going to have to understand what

type of leadership do they want talking

about the country he said we were

pledging to be inclusive we were

pledging to bring people in uh Donald

Trump has said that isn't what he wants

and so that's what America is leaning

towards I guess for me it's to

understand and learn more about America

because I thought they were going to

probably move towards a more positive

message oh my God he's

lost they are so lost they think that

discriminating against white men is

inclusive they don't know that they were

the bad guys they don't know that the

reason that magga grew is because it

wasn't

racist there was there was nothing

stopping anybody from joining magga

because it there was no identity

politics but on the Democrat side they

were literally overtly discriminating

against white men

forever and and they call that

inclusive all right let me ask you a

question did you hear the story about

the highly qualified uh Black American

man he was a he was an

engineer and he went to the best schools

and he had really good experience and he

he couldn't get a job in Corporate

America did you hear that story highly

qualified and uh he just couldn't get a

job because he was a black man in

America no you haven't heard that story

because that isn't anything that can

happen in

America there's probably never one case

where a qualified black man let's say an

engineer just to pick an example

couldn't get a good job in Corporate

America I'll bet there's not one you in

the whole country let me say it again I

don't think there's even one not even

one literally one I'm not I'm not

exaggerating I don't think there's

one qualified black engineer who can't

get a job right away

anywhere now have you ever heard of a

qualified white man who couldn't get a

job because of

Dei yes every one of you have heard

that how do you you live in this country

and think that black men can't get a job

in Corporate America that's not a thing

everybody who has qualifications has a

job in America pretty much everybody

except white men who get taken out by

Dei all right um so Dei is racism and

the the Democrats and Tim wals have not

figured out and and Tim

Walls all right why was Tim Walls even

selected the VP

candidate does he not know that he was

not qualified to be the top of his own

ticket did Tim Walls know that he

couldn't have been the top of the ticket

it wasn't an option if he's a Democrat

did does he literally genuinely in the

real world not know that he couldn't

have been the top of the ticket because

he's a white

man like how lost is he like I'm

genuinely curious

I is he

stupid or am I stupid because I can't

figure this out like why he can't figure

it

out there's some mystery here I don't

know what it is maybe maybe the

problem's on my

end well anyway yes I told you MSNBC I

use it as the comedy

channel um because all you have to do is

simply report what they did and and it

makes you laugh you don't even need any

commentary are you ready ready for this

all right I saw some couple of posts

from Johnny Mega on X reporting what uh

shows a video of Joy Reid on

MSNBC and this is what Joy Reed said

about Tulsi gabard she said that Tulsi

gabard will be feeding Trump quote

conspiracies from Russian State media uh

in her job as Director of National

Intelligence quote she's going to come

in there and whatever RT that's Russia

Today publication has fed in her life

she can then feed feed that to Donald

Trump

now I don't need any commentary on that

right that's just

funny there's nothing to say about it

it's just funny that this person has a

TV show and people watch it I mean not

many but few but that's not all of

it uh she also implied um that the

January

Prisoners the overwhelming majority of

them of course not having any kind of

legal problems in the past before that

um she said that when they get released

she goes quote God knows what that is

like when those people are showing up in

the Walmarts of the Home Depot we're in

for a wild

ride Joy Reed thinks that when you

unlock the lifetime of law- abiding

white guys mostly white guys that

they're going to run into

Walmart and Home Depot yelling

W and trying to shoot stuff what are

they gonna

do yeah I'm really I'm really worried

about the the Ruckus at my local Home

Depot when when all the January Sixers

get out and and go to buy some

Improvement tools to fix up their

house what is wrong with her all

right so yeah most of the most of the

news today is about videos and photos

that I think might be fake and of course

over racism against white men in pretty

much every

story uh meanwhile New York city mayor

Eric

Adams who we alternately like to love

and and hate because he seems to be like

half a

Republican and and half a Democrat so if

you want a reason to dislike him you

just pick whichever side you don't like

and you're like ah I don't like that

half I didn't realize he used to be a

republican so that that would explain

why you know he's he's not like a crazy

leftist Democrat he's just sort of a

standard middle- of the road Democrat

but uh he's teasing that he might be

open to switching parties he doesn't say

it but but the way he answered questions

about that

question made you think that maybe he's

not wed to his political party now it's

interesting because he's an legal

Jeopardy um and I wonder first of all I

don't know if the corruption charges are

real we live in a world where it could

be lawfare you never know but I wonder

if he thinks no I guess those wouldn't

be probably wouldn't be federal charges

anyway so he's not playing for a pardon

he's not hoping to change parties and

get a pardon because it's state charges

right the allegations against him so

we'll keep an eye on

him but uh but at least we understand

why he he seems a little bit one foot in

each of those worlds because he's had

one foot in each of those

worlds there's a

uh terrible data coming out of the Texas

A&M Corpus Christie Colin rug is

reporting this on X that

apparently there's an alarming number of

bottlenosed

dolphins that are showing up with traces

of fentanyl in their

systems and they said that more than a

third of the Dolphins tested uh were

positive for

drugs now of course the story is that

that they think maybe the fenel is

getting into the waste system and then

gets into the ocean then the then the

bottle knows Dolphins get into it but um

I've got a different Theory the reason

they're called called bottlenose

dolphins is uh because they're they're

famous as being alcoholics uh that's why

they call them Bottlenose it's like oh

can you get that bottle out of your nose

for just a second so the regular

Dolphins they don't have much of an

addiction problem but the Bottle

Nose well they're partyers they're

partyers so maybe it's because of the

Wastewater

system maybe they're just getting it

directly from Mexico and snorting it I

don't know I don't know what's real I'm

just saying I don't know much about

dolphins is what I'm saying but the only

thing I know for sure

is they didn't do it on

purpose meanwhile according to Fox News

the feds have been using Banks to

surveil Americans and they've asked

Banks to search for terms like um like

uh Trump Mega bass proops Cabellas I

guess that's some kind of store that we

don't have around here and Dick Sporting

Goods

so so apparently the

uh the which group is it uh the

committee uh one of the uh government

committees called the uh subcommittee on

the weaponization of the federal

government so it's looked into this and

found out that banks have been a little

too Cooperative with government

requests um and maybe cross the line

constitutionally that's what they're

looking at but I used to work for a

bank and I have this advice for

you there's no such thing as a

confidential financial transaction

unless you pay cash and then murder the

person you you transacted

with it if if you're doing anything

financially of course the government can

get at it do let let me explain uh Bank

an ER mentality to you you ready hi I'm

from the government I would like you to

bend over and shove your own ass or

shove your own head all the way up your

own ass now I'll do the

banker

okay that that's the relationship of the

government and the banks

because the bank can't tell the

government

no the the banks are really really

dependent on the laws being just the way

they are to protect the banks I'm not

even sure why we have Banks I mean the

only thing that protects the entire

banking industry is that they they

somehow have you know cooperated with

with the government to the point where

they've got basically a legal Monopoly

because don't you think that Elon Musk

Could Build a Better Bank on an app in

about an

afternoon yes right modern technology

would allow you to build a bank on an

app and have every feature you ever

wanted

without any of the banking

structure so they pretty much have to do

whatever the government tells them they

would be afraid of getting on the bad

side of any of that government stuff so

yeah you never you never you were never

safe your bank was never going to stand

between you and the government snooping

into your stuff Bank won't do that it's

bad for business so no surprise there

well you probably heard that the uh

Daniel penny case has taken a turn so

apparently the jury said that they were

hung on the first count of second degree

manslaughter so the first count is the

highest degree of of risk and would be

the most jail sentenced

there there's a lower level

charge um but the top level charge the

judge said well if you can't agree on

this we'll basically dismiss it now go

back think about the lower charge I

guess that'll happen on Monday

so here's what the people who know way

more than I do about the law and the

courts are telling me so I'm listening

to people like Mike cernovich and people

have legal backgrounds and uh Jonathan

Turley um is writing about it so let me

just tell you what Jonathan Turley says

because uh having me interpret legal

stuff is a bad idea so it's better to

hear from people who know what they're

talking

about so toly says so now the judge has

dismissed the first count on second

degree manslaughter and is allowing the

jury to consider the second count after

the weekend this is precisely what brag

was hoping for in setting up a possible

compromise

verdict now what you need to know about

that phrase a compromise verdict if I

understand it correctly is that the

judge is trying to get people on the

jury to think not so much about guilty

or Innocent but rather how they can be

done with this

process and the way they can be done

with the process is to be unanimous

about something and if they're closer to

being unanimous we don't know this but

if they're closer to being unanimous

unguilty then he's going to say go back

in on the lower charge and you don't get

to go home you know until I say so so

you could imagine that the the indirect

pressure on the jurists would be to

first of all do what the other jurist

want them to do conform so they can go

home and uh it would kind of bias you

toward well you know if we were nice

enough to let them off on the top

charge but we don't want to be so nice

that we let them completely free because

then we have to live in the world and

answer to all of our neighbors and we

can't so wouldn't it be better for for

the jury wouldn't it be better for the

jury to find him guilty on a lesser

charge but still goes to jail but is not

as bad as the top one so that's a

terrible situation to put the jury in

you're you're really causing the jury to

think about themselves instead of The

Facts of the case that's how I

understand the compromise situation so

if that's the case I think the whole

thing should be thrown out I mean I

think the Judge probably should go to

jail

don't

you I don't think that's a thing I mean

I don't I don't think that for this

Behavior anybody ever goes to jail but

if I look at what crimes were committed

and I look at the videos of Daniel peny

I say to myself huh I do not see Daniel

Penny intending to do anything

wrong or doing anything wrong there's no

intention and I didn't see anything

wrong uh there's a tragedy but I didn't

see him act wrong but what about the

judge the judge is signaling an

intention to be wrong meaning creating a

situation that no judge should create

it's got to be intentional and pushing

them toward the wrong decision to find

what I think is an innocent man guilty

and sending him to jail so that the

jurors themselves can have a nicer

week that is evil on a level that's

almost hard to

comprehend it's just such a casual evil

that this would be a judge who just

wakes up and goes to work and says some

stuff in the context of his job so it so

it's not like you know the gas chamber

or something where where the visual of

it and the thought of it is you

overwhelmingly

horrible but this is pretty

overwhelmingly horrible the fact that

you can casually just go up and go to

your job and send some innocent

guy to jail intentionally and and then

the next day you just wake up and go to

your job again now this

judge if we lived in a world that was

fair according to

me because I get to decide what's fair

it's my my live stream uh I think the

Judge probably should be in jail already

and I think Bragg and and anybody

involved in this because as

uh as Turley tells us um he says um the

prosecutors hope to pressure the jury

into voting on the low standard of

criminal negligence so that's

essentially what I'm saying and then

toly says outside of New York or a few

other cities this case would likely

either have not been brought or would

have collapsed quickly before the

jury now Charlie knows more than I do

about the legal stuff obviously and he

says this wouldn't even be charged in

most places in America no I believe

that's

true

so um I would say that if New York is

going to play with a a set of rules

that's so different from what you and I

think is

realistic um we should definitely not do

business with New York I wouldn't I

wouldn't take my business there I

wouldn't travel there I would just stay

away from that just stay away from New

York so I think if if Penny goes down

because of this and it's not corrected

immediately in some

way I think we have to take the whole

State down because New York

State the citizens which includes some

of my family members so sorry about that

who who might be listening at at the

moment uh I think the state has to pay I

I think there's got to be a price and

it's got to be a lot and I I think if

the GDP of New York State went down 20%

the next year that might be about right

I mean it should be really expensive

because if this is the lowest level

of Social and American Behavior you

could ever even imagine this is so bad

and uh there's another theme for today's

show and I'm going to say this as

carefully as

possible I never am in favor of violence

of course and I would never promote it

or endorse it or you know glamorize

it but it's certainly getting harder

every day every time I read the news I

think

huh I I wonder if there's somebody who's

going to become violent over this

because it certainly looks like it's

inviting it but I don't I don't favor

that so don't do that but it but you

can't not think about it because there's

just so many so many ways that the news

is so horrible you think

H speaking of

which Let's uh talk about the healthc

care Hitman now uh I was watching Jesse

water show yesterday and uh apparently

they've already given the The Hitman a a

nickname the healthc care

Hitman I think uh CNN had a different

branding for it I may have this wrong

but it might have been the the uh

the CEO killer or something so the news

is trying to Brand it like they always

do so that they've got an ongoing story

because they love the ongoing stories

especially the criminal ones and so the

the first thing you need to know is

that let me let me this is going to be

hard because I need to say this is

delicately as possible to keep myself

out in

trouble do you think that this if this

had not been a healthc care

executive and a white guy do you think

that they would have called him the

healthc care

Hitman the the person who did the

murder because it's almost like you're

you're giving him a clever little

nickname I don't know it makes makes me

wonder if there's if

we're if we're having too much fun with

the story and we wouldn't do it if it

were George Floyd right if George Floyd

got murdered we we wouldn't

be we wouldn't be giving a clever

nickname

to um you know Derek schauen right

Chauvin never got like a clever nickname

it it's almost as if this is

revealing that there's sort of an

undercurrent in

America where people are not so sad

about

this right and I'm not saying that's

good

so don't get me wrong I'm just saying

that in in a number of ways I'm getting

this subtle

suggestion that people don't feel bad

about this

crime partly because it's a white man

let's be honest it was a wealthy white

guy and the country just doesn't have

the same kind of empathy for wealthy

older white guys we just don't and so

that's part of

it but there's also Lots a mystery to it

and the uh alleged shooter if you

believe at least one of the photos which

I don't believe by the way would be a

really handsome young guy so now you've

got this you know apparently a very

smart killer who's got his own clever

nickname the healthcare Hitman

and and the one picture of him that

they're trying to sell us on which I

don't believe by the way uh he's really

goodlooking like really good looking

like movie star

good-look I don't know there there

there's something

terribly wrong about how movie perfect

this is and that we're treating it as

entertainment and I am too so I'm I'm

I'm as guilty as the people I'm talking

about so the the the effect that I'm

seeing in other people which is what I'm

describing I feel it too I I feel like

my own sense of empathy has been and

hijacked into some kind of recreational

mode so so I apologize for that uh but

there are a lot of interesting things

about the story for

example uh the fact that he got out of

New

York so apparently he left on foot got a

bike took a bike into the park they say

he left a backpack there his backpack

we'll talk about that I don't believe

that either and uh took a little known

bus station that's lesser used so the

fewer Witnesses and got out of the state

they think they also think that he used

a veterinarian gun now this is not

everybody but there's some thought that

he used a veterinarian

gun which is apparently I never I never

knew there was one but because there

might be other animals in the

neighborhood of when you're putting down

an animal such as let's say cattle or

something um you don't want to scare the

other animals so you have this thing

that works at very close range literally

you're supposed to put it up to the

skull of the animal you're going to put

down is so it's not even meant to shoot

20 feet I don't believe it's meant for

one shot in the head close up I think

that's all it's for now that's only if

it's truly a veterinarian gun which I

never even heard of before um so here

are the things that I think I know for

sure

his his quick use of the gun whether he

was putting in a new shell or clearing

it there's a little uh little

disagreement on that he certainly knew

what he was

doing so he seemed to understand the

weapon well enough to know that he had

to do a thing after every shot whatever

the thing was and then he did

it but if he were if he were a

professional he would have used the

veterinarian gun the way the

veterinarians use it which is he would

have run up cuz the guy was just walking

he was only what 10 or 15 ft in front of

him all he had to do is take a few few

running

steps bang and then drop the gun if

there was no DNA on

it but he didn't

so so here's the thing you've all seen

now probably the the face where they

claim it's another picture of the

shooter but this time he pulled his mask

down to flirt with somebody at at a

hostel and you can clearly see his face

now I'm going to tell you something that

I haven't seen in the news

yet but have any of you ever experienced

the facial recognition apps that are

currently available now I I don't know

if they're available to the public maybe

they're only available to law

enforcement at this point

but um I'm going to tell you something

that maybe you didn't know about them

they would identify this guy 100% of the

time there is plenty of his face

showing a facial recognition app would

pick him up 100% of the time there's no

way he's not on social media which is

how the facial recognition finds you

there's no way he's not on social media

he he has a very distinctive face and

you can see the whole face there is no

chance that if that's a real picture of

the shooter that law enforcement doesn't

already know who he is it would be about

5 SE in fact if if you have the facial

recognition app you could probably

recognize I bet you could get an ID just

from the photo that's on social media

does anybody have access to one if you

have one of the facial recognition that

just put it on the phone it'll tell you

who that guy is so I don't think there's

any

chance that if you show that picture to

the whole world that he's not been

identified by

now do you think that's real do you

think there's any

chance that that picture is clearly as

you can see his face and he's so

distinctive and it's been on every TV

show everywhere and you think that a guy

who looks like that and at that age

doesn't have a you know families and

friends and people who would recognize

him

immediately everything about this story

is

off first of all the story where you see

is is his face

clearly it's obviously not the shooter

he's wearing different clothes as

different

backpack it's obviously not him because

if it were him we would already have him

we'd know who he is because his face is

completely recognizable if the public

hadn't done it the facial recognition

software would do it literally in a

second in one second you just go in fact

you if you have it on your phone just

call up the picture and just put your

phone next to it if you've got one of

those apps click on it and in one second

it'll tell you who it is if he's a real

person now some have said it might be

like a Hollywood mask or something maybe

but that was a pretty big smile for a

mask I don't know it's hard to pull off

that smile I think if you had a mask you

would maybe try to prevent smiling

because that would be one place you

could spot there was something

wrong uh yeah he doesn't have the same

jacket and then the police say they

found the backpack in the park and then

the backpack doesn't even look like the

backpack he was wearing say some people

so none of the colors are right the

person isn't right it's all wrong it's

all wrong now I'm going to tell you a

story from my real

life that that matches this story you

won't believe that there's any story

that matches this story but there is my

first job in Corporate America was a

bank teller and I got robbed twice at

gunpoint during my job as a teller one

of those times uh the guy who robbed me

was this uh older man I thought he was

maybe late 60s um kind of disheveled

gray hair losing Most of It kind of

smallish about my

size and so when the FBI came they said

all right can you describe the guy who

robbed you I described him that way this

old guy with a little bit of gray hair

blah blah blah

and then they came back and they said um

are you sure you pulled the alarm on

time because there's a secret way that

tellers pulled the alarm so the cameras

will capture the the crime and I said

yeah I'm positive like as soon as he

asked for the money I did the thing

where you activate the camera and they

said because there's nobody on the film

that looks anything like what you

described so they said we're going to

take you down to the secret FBI

headquarters and we're going to show you

the video and you tell me that's the guy

who who robbed you I'm like sure easy

because the guy he was very distinctive

and he had a long long coat on I mean I

I had Perfect Memory of him and my boss

um soon as the the robber left I alerted

my boss and my boss followed him down

the street like from a distance but just

to get a ID and when my boss was asked

to describe him he described him the

same way I did older guy gray hair got a

small Long Jacket so we had the same

description and then the FBI shows me

the video uh of the moment and they say

all right is this guy standing in front

of the teller window is that the one

that robbed you I was like

no that's not even close so they showed

me this video of a guy who looked like a

young Clint Eastwood with a big mustache

you know solid dark air probably mid-30s

yeah and had a sport coat on didn't have

a long like you know jacket like the guy

I saw and I was said no obviously not so

they said watch this and then manually

they could um they could uh rewind the

video and I watched that guy rob me on

video so a guy who looked like Clint

Eastwood on video

was the actual guy who robbed me the guy

I saw very clearly and described within

seconds I mean minutes I guess of the

actual robbery and my boss independently

who did not talk to me before that we

described him as a completely different

person explain that and it's even

weirder once I saw the person on video

that looked like that young Clint

Eastwood I said first of all I've never

seen that guy in

person but I've definitely seen him a

lot because he's got a picture right on

the wall where I worked saying that he

was a bank rubber who was you know he

was a known Bank rubber he was literally

on the wall as a known bank robber and

he looked just like the video I I

recognized him immediately when I saw

the video but I didn't recognize him in

person you look like an old man so you

tell me what happened it's been one of

the great mysteries of my

life now I got robbed twice the other

one I picked out of a lineup easily as

did all the other people easy he he

looked exactly like I described him

picked them out of a lineup no

problem but

sometimes people don't look like look

like they look on video that's all I can

tell you all I can tell you is that

sometimes the video doesn't match what

you thought you saw in

person so I don't know um CNN said that

the bullet casings did have some

inscription in them something engraved

that would suggest it was a healthcare

related um problem meaning that he

somebody maybe got denied some coverage

because had that deny delay title of the

book on it now I had predicted that in

the fog of crime you would ultimately

find out that there is not the

inscription on the

bullets I'm going to stick with that I'm

going to stick with it even though CNN

just

confirmed that there is something on the

bullets and they even gave details and

I'm still going to stick with there's

nothing on the

bullets now you might say to me but

Scott that's a very bad bet because

everybody's reporting there's something

on the

bullets I'm not there yet I'm not there

I'm going to need to see a picture of

those

bullets I'm going to need to see a

picture because I think I think there's

a problem that maybe people are hearing

it from other news sources and you know

maybe you maybe it's just one fake story

that got Amplified I'm going to wait but

maybe I I'm not going to rule out that

it's on there but not quite buying it

yet everything about this story looks

hinky anyway so we'll we'll wait on that

um as one of the January Sixers said uh

and I'm

paraphrasing uh I stood outside the

capital on January

6 and had no criminal record did not

post anything on social media and the

FBI found me in two

weeks okay now hold that in your

head they they found that guy in two

weeks now there were other videos there

so of course they could pick them up you

think that they don't know who this guy

is I'm having real trouble

believing that they don't know who at

least the one with his face showing is

so there's something very deeply wrong

about

this meanwhile over in El Salvador I

don't know how this is real either so

the president uh buelli he just says El

Salvador has discovered they have a$3

trillion doll unmined gold

fields and now he's moving to

decriminalize um some of the mining laws

or get rid of some regulations I guess

so that they can mine it $3 trillion

doll of unmined gold they also found

according to the president gallium

talium tin and other materials needed

for you know the future so so this young

guy this young good-looking guy comes in

becomes the president of El Salvador

brings in didn't he bring in Bitcoin as

as their legal currency which turned out

to be a genius move apparently

and uh then he solves all of crime in

the country by locking up just basically

everybody who even looked a little

criminal and now he just by luck he

happens to be in charge when they find

$3 trillion do of extra money that would

turn El Salvador from you know a wannabe

I don't know what would you say it a uh

not a third world country but it would

basically put him right right at the top

tier of economic powers in the world

and this just happened by coincidence

the same time the guy who did all the

other good stuff is in power this is

weird like it just seems too simulation

or too too many coincidences I don't

know meanwhile over in

Syria um Iranian assets are pulling out

so the Iranians of course were

supporting Assad as were the Russians

but the rebels are making such progress

and the

um I guess Assad's forces are not

putting up much resistance so the

reporting is that the Iranian assets the

generals and the advisers and whatever

are just running because they know they

can't do it themselves and they're not

getting help from the military so

they're just abandoning so it looks like

Assad is going to maybe Retreat his

forces to the most important defensible

part which is the part that's

Russian Port so the area around the

Russian Port because if they don't

protect

that then Russia doesn't have any reason

to protect

them so what if Russia doesn't protect

them and what if they lose that port and

the rebels take

over that changes a lot of things

doesn't it it and again I'll say that I

think that what's happening in Syria has

to be seen as part of all the variables

for war from you know Hezbollah to Hamas

to

Ukraine I think it's all related because

it's all the same players so this gives

them lots of variables to say all right

if you give us a little relief on

Syria I could do a little more on

Gaza but if you pull back on ESB we

could maybe let Iran do a little more

trade so I think it's going to be

something where all those variables are

in play we might not know

it in other words there could be some

secret components of the negotiation

that are not public because you know

maybe Iran can do things secretly that

they don't want to tell their public

they're doing you know something like

that so I feel like the Syria situation

makes the odds of a larger

deal you know with Russia and Ukraine

and United States and

Iran more Poss not

less so it feels to me like a positive

situation that it's moving in in a

Direction that's let's say destabilizing

for Iran and for Russia and also showing

their weaknesses to the world because

neither Iran nor Russia can seemingly

can protect Assad at the moment from

Rebels it's not even the strongest

military anyway the other biggest story

is that all over social media there are

all these videos of drones or possibly

uaps or UFOs or secret

technology

and I had been ignoring

it largely up until

now um because I thought oh it's just

it's just somebody's balloon or it's

just you know it's just somebody's uh

drone they're flying around but today I

wake up and there's like videos from the

East Coast videos from the West Coast

videos from

Argentina I think a few other places in

which there were these glowing orbs

doing things in sequence in one case

they seem to be going into the ocean and

remember my main theme for today is that

all of the news is either overtly racist

against white men and and that's what

the story is in one form or another or

it's video or photos that I can't tell

are real so so we got the KLA Harris

drunk video I don't know if that's real

we got the healthc care Hitman full

facial that somehow they can't they

can't identify him from the full facial

picture I don't know that that's real

and then we've got what looks to be

dozens of videos of these anomalous

flying things and I don't know if any of

them are real

because it seems like the easiest thing

you could fake would be to do some AI

take a regular video and then add some

glowing orbs how hard would it be to add

some glowing orbs that literally the

easiest thing you could ever add to an

existing video would be a point of

glowing orb moving around so are the

videos

real there there are now a lot of them

there are now a lot of them

so here's something that somebody said

on social media that just put all of it

to rest for

me if these uaps which are over a lot of

them are over American bases or over

American

assets if they were really a

threat you would see American Military

trying like hell to shoot him down even

if they didn't know what they were you

know the American Military would be all

over over it you know that you'd see the

drones but then you would immediately

see you know helicopters and jets and

stuff trying to figure out what they are

and you don't see

that the only explanation is it's it's

our

stuff am I wrong about

that it if if the American Military is

not reacting to flying objects they

can't identify routinely over their

bases it's got to come from the base or

it's Got To Be An American Military

asset

right well you're saying

no how could it be anything except ours

if we're not responding to

it I I don't see any possibility that it

could be a real threat or even a real

unknown at least to the military people

who directly below it there's no

scenario in which they're not lighting

up the sky if they can't identify flying

risks above a military facility I mean

even if they didn't think it was a

military risk they'd still shoot the

thing down because it's over a

military

base yeah it doesn't matter who it is if

you're over a military base and you're

hovering and you're you know you're

looking

dangerous Am I Wrong they're going to

shoot it down or at least they're going

to try so the fact that you don't even

see any attempted interaction it's is

pretty confirmatory that either the

pictures are

fake or the military knows exactly what

they are but they can't say because it's

you know private but that wouldn't

explain the ones in other countries I

think the other countries probably just

drones you know people have drones and

some of them are operating in some kind

of coordinated way Etc but the other

possibility that's more exciting is that

uh there might be some Chinese tanker

ship you know off the coast of America

and they're doing testing you know every

once in a while they'll release a dozen

drones and watch watch the response from

America and then maybe maybe America

knows that's what's happening or

suspects that's what's happening and

they don't want to give away the

response so maybe they're letting them

you know do it to think that we don't

have a response but maybe we do I don't

know I'm not buying that so I think

that's that's a little too too much to

accept so I'm going to go with the ones

that are over American bases are just

our own technology because of course

we're doing um Advanced drone

coordinated attacks of course we are

every every modern country is working on

that right now so obviously there should

be a whole bunch of

American um drones practicing military

stuff above bases it's the most obvious

thing I would expect to see if

everything is working the way it

should but the ones in other countries

and the other videos they might be just

fake videos so I think it might be a

combo of American stuff that's perfectly

safe to Americans and some fake videos

from other places and other times and

stuff like that that's my best guess but

I don't

know

um so Taylor Loren continues to get in

trouble I I've tried every day to not do

a story about her cuz she's always in

the news and it's always some ridiculous

story about something she said or

believes and other people want to mock

her and it never it never felt like

there was enough meat to it for me to

talk about her she was just sort of a a

character in social media and the news

that people like talking about wasn't

really enough for

me but uh I'm going to talk about her

today because she made a little news um

and I'm just going to read the quote

because the exact wording matters so TMZ

was talking to her and TMZ challenged

and said you said people wonder why we

want these Executives dead now the

interpretation of that is that Taylor

Len understands why somebody would want

to kill a health care insurance

executive which would be too far for a

public figure that would be too far

because if you say you understand it

that's H that's just one step from

condoning it so that's that's too much

for a public figure so TMZ I think um by

the way I I always have respect for TMZ

I always I've told you the story but

once there was fake news about me some

years ago TMZ was the only ones who

called to ask me if it was true and I

said no it's not true here's the context

and then they didn't run a story about

it they were the only ones who fact

jacked a rumor about me by calling me

and saying is that true oh no that's not

true so uh so I like TMZ and I like that

they're pushing

back um so here's what Taylor Len said

she said uh I'm with the people it is

natural to wish that the people who run

those systems would suffer the same fate

as your loved one am I going to shed

tears or have a lot of empathy for

somebody who has facilitated the deaths

of thousand of innocent

Americans

yikes yikes now if this were just her

weird little um Taylor Loren's opinion

then I wouldn't be talking about it

because that that's what I've ignored up

till now it's just her opinion so I

ignore it but this isn't just her

opinion I I think in this case she's

doing something

useful meaning that she's telling you

how

feels which is different from how she

would act or or how her sense of reason

would would guide

her and she is basically saying that

it's not that unusual to expect people

to have that kind of

mental mental

processing toward what we're seeing and

I gotta

say um I'm not going to endorse her

words but you all feel that too right

right is she completely wrong I don't

think she's wrong about how some portion

of America feels about it now of course

it's a big country so people have

opinions all over the place as they

always do but is it true that a

substantial number of Americans are so

mad about what has happened to them and

maybe people they know or love uh in

terms of healthcare being denied or any

other bad

behavior is it

weird that people are let's say more uh

forgiving of a of a tragic

murder than you'd expect if it were some

other situation you know I I think she's

sort of a canary in the coal mine here

in the sense that it's useful for her to

have said this out

loud it's

useful so I'm actually going to give her

credit for

this um she's taking a lot of heat but

she put it out there and I think it's

worth talking

about um but I'm going to add this

context when I read the news which I do

every day every other story wants me uh

makes me want to kill

[Laughter]

somebody have you had that experience

that you know I don't recommend it and I

and I'm not going to give you any

examples but just think about the

stories I've told you just in the news

you know not just today but in the past

just pick any period past week or so how

many of those stories have at least one

person in the story that privately I'm

thinking to myself you know if something

happened to them it might be a better

world a lot a lot and I asked myself is

this what social media is doing to me

is social media turning me into somebody

who immediately thinks of violence when

I'm just reading the news and it's not

about War I mean if it's about war of

course

but when I when I read about let's say

all right I'm going to give you an

example I'm probably going to get

canceled for

this no I'm not going to give you

example it's too easy I don't want to

give my enemies such an easy an easy

path of attack but let's just say there

are a lot of things in let's say the

Justice domain the Justice domain I

won't be more particular than that

aren't there a lot of things in the

Justice domain where you're saying at

the very

least I feel like the people in charge

should be the ones in

jail right and this is very different

from how I've seen the news in the past

I there are a whole bunch of stories

where my first instinct is oh those

people need to be in jail and I'll say

jail because I don't want to say

anything violent but you know jail so

that we're within the legal

process there's something that's there's

something about social media but maybe

there's something about the nature of

the

stories which is causing me to

immediately go to thoughts of

violence for every other story in the

news it's the weirdest thing so I think

we should be really aware of what's

happening to us psychologically just the

fact that we so quickly go to the the

violent solution you know if you're

smart you're not going to say it out

loud you're not going to act on it

you're not going to incentivize anybody

to do it but boy you can't stop thinking

it can you it's hard not to think

it all right here's uh another great

mystery of the world if you spend time

on social media uh as I do at least in

the siloed corner of social media that I

find myself every single day with no

exceptions every single day there'll be

a new story about a new study that says

the uh covid vaccination

caused all manner of Health Care

problems and that it was way worse than

if you just let people get sick now I'm

not saying that's true I'm saying that

my corner of social media reports it as

true with new data new research there's

a new person who's talking about it

every day so sometimes the claims are um

that uh it's causing major deaths people

dropping dead um sometimes the claims

are you know more heart attacks

sometimes more cancer today um on the

vigil and fox um account on X there's

another study uh epid epidemiologist

Nicholas holer reported that uh the

vaccinated have you know way higher

depression and way higher anxiety and

way higher Sleep

disorders and I don't know what's

true so my take on all covid related

data is that none of it is

credible not the stuff that says you're

safe and not the stuff that says you're

not now one of them is

true it's either safe or it's not and

when I say safe I mean safe for a shot

right so every kind of medical procedure

tends to be bad for at least a few

people so not completely safe but but uh

I have no

idea so here's a little experiment for

you find your favorite

Ai and ask your AI if there are any um

any problems with people who are

vaccinated in terms of more cancer more

heart disease more mental illness or

anything whatever you want just ask your

favorite AI so I asked perplexity

because perplexity is like really good

and you know what I said he said there

are no known health problems from the

vaccination Beyond you know there's

always a few people who who have a bad

reaction to everything no unusual bad

reaction do you believe that it's from a

search

engine yeah I I'm pretty sure that no

matter which search engine you asked it

would say that the vaccination was as

safe as anything else we do in the

medical

world now I'm not saying that's true I'm

saying that the AI will tell you it's

true and at the same time I will wake up

and every single day there's another

expert telling me that it's like just

killed millions of people and they're

dropping like flies and they're going

crazy and they're getting you know early

onet of every thing in the world

which of these is

true let let me just say this if you're

sure you know which one of those is

true you shouldn't

be you shouldn't be because there's

really no way to know I I don't believe

there's any way to know you could you

might be guessing right because one of

them is right right it's either

perfectly safe or it's way more

dangerous than we we thought it was it

can't both true so somebody who's

watching this is completely correct but

not because you could know it's just

it's a 5050 so some of you are going to

guess

right um I'm

genuinely genuinely confused I cannot

tell if there's even any way to know

right so in the comments I'm saying is

there even any way to know and the

trouble is that everybody who studies it

seems to have some motivation

they're either starting at looking for

trouble and oh they found it or they're

starting it making sure that there is no

trouble oh we didn't find any trouble so

I think everybody in that domain is

motivated one way or another even if

they're not aware of

it um I'm seeing somebody yell in all

capitals it has random effects because

it goes to random parts of your body now

if that were true and it might be then

you would see that um everything would

be increased in terms of um bad Health

now when I asked perplexity after it

said you know there's no indication that

the shots have any problems at all I

said but is it true that there's a big

increase in health problems and he said

yes there is in just the last few years

there's a major increase in a whole

range of health problems and so then I

asked

why what's causing this major change in

health problems do you know what it

said

lifestyle is said that in just the last

few years there's been enough of a

lifestyle and demographic change and

demographic that uh explains what we're

seeing do you believe that now part of

it is in any 5-year period uh America

gets a lot older because we're not

replacing with young people as as fast

so it should be that if everything was

working properly that every year from

now on there will be much greater health

problems than

usual because we're

older right so if I were to predict will

next year have more health problems more

more heart attacks more diabetes than

last year almost

certainly right there's no way it's

going to be less next year cuz we don't

have cures for it and there will be more

old people eating junk food and our our

food is probably getting worse and you

know social media's turning us into the

couch

potatoes anyway so um I don't know I

have no

idea and that ladies and

gentlemen concludes my prepared thoughts

for today and I think you can see the

problem I can't trust any data I can't

trust any

video and everything's racist against

white people white men

mostly so that that's your world and I

don't know what any of those U uaps are

but I'm not worried about it I've

decided not to worry about the

uaps and just not worried

about all

right uh the answer to your question is

yes but I don't want to tell you what

the question

was this is

BS I like the all capitals people so I

can mock

them uh This is BS you people are

letting him not look at the

data and call it bad okay you sound

drunk are you

drunk the the all capitals people I just

assume are are elderly and

drunk

um all right just taking a look at your

comments not trusting data is the same

as not looking no if you don't trust it

there's no point looking at it there's

no point looking at what you don't

trust if you came to me today and said I

am the greatest epidemiologist in the

world my reputation is spotless here is

my randomized control study do you know

what I would say I'm not even going to

look at it because we're not in a world

where anybody's randomized controlled

study has any credibility at all in that

domain maybe some other domain it might

but in the domain of Co nope there is no

data that you can trust some of it's

right some of it's right but you'll

never have any way to

know maybe in 20 years

all right um I'm going to uh talk to the

uh locals subscribers privately thanks

for joining if you're on xor YouTube or

Rumble um I will uh talk to you guys

tomorrow but uh locals I'm coming at you
