Episode 2710 CWSA 01/04/25

happy cat day everybody let me make sure my comments are working uh oh I spelled the title wrong darn it tyo I assure you I really do know how to spell conspiracy but you wouldn't know it from the title I put on the show good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization I mean at least until we get our gravitic propulsion systems can't wait um but if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that nobody can even comprehend with their tiny shiny human brains all you need is a cuper marer glass of tanker chelin a canteen suer flask a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee and join me now for the imper pleasure the dopamine end of the day the thing that makes everything better it's called that's right the simultaneous sip yeah incredible best thing they happened to me today well the news is all fun and interesting so I'm going to zip through it and Delight you number one oh first of all uh Owen is going to do a spaces which he's been been doing on Saturdays so you could look for that I don't know if it will become a long-term tradition but at least for today uh Owen Gregorian will be doing a spaces after this show where you can talk about what we talked about or I suppose anything else all right so look for that so yesterday I opened up my chat GPT app which I haven't looked at recently because I I've been using other apps and I didn't realize that uh that my app had already been upgraded so that you can do the thing where you open the camera on your phone you could just point your camera at stuff and the AI will have a conversation with you about what you're looking at now I didn't really know how cool that was until yesterday where I'm standing outside my driveway at night and the the moon is out nice little crescent but really near the Moon is this very bright presumably a planet and I said to myself huh which planet is that it's so bright and so I turned on the chat GPT camera and I just aimed it at the sky and I said what planet do you think that is and Chad GPT said well it could be you know this bright Planet could be this or it could be that but it's probably Venus because that's the brightest one that would be in in that part of the sky and so I said to it because it's it chats with you you don't have to touch another button you can just keep the conversation going so I said to it are you saying that Venus is the shiny one and does that mean that the other planets would be experiencing Venus envy and it laughed at my joke and complimented me it actually reacted to the joke positively now that just that just freaked me out because if you're a person who likes to get credit for telling jokes which is literally my profession I worry that I would get hooked on that you know just having AI tell me I did a good joke like yeah yeah artificial intelligence right there if you think it's funny it must be funny but then I remembered that AI can only do dad jokes and that that was basically just a PG13 dad joke like H okay more work to go anyway there's a study uh written written about in study finds the success could come down to luck more than Merit according to research H research was there a faster way to find out if luck is a component of success what uh if they didn't want to spend the time and the money on a whole research project is there any other way oh yeah they could have asked Scott hey Scott we're thinking of spending a bunch of time and money to find out if luck influences success and I'd be like hm H yeah it does it does but I would add the following which I think they didn't discover that you can make more luck for yourself you can make more luck for yourself how do you do that well get out of your chair if you're just sitting at home in a chair you're not going to have much luck but maybe if you go meet some people apply for some jobs that are you know above your level try to build something in your garage just to see if it works take a few classes to build your talent stack move to a place where there's more opportunity get involved with an industry that's growing quickly instead of shrinking yeah you can change your luck you can absolutely change your luck now not in any moment and not a specific way but you can go where there's more luck that was exactly my strategy when I graduated college in upstate New York and I looked around and said if I stay in Upstate New York what kind of luck would I have well I might get lucky with a cow and that's about it because that's what there were in Upstate New York we had cows and then there were people who had low-income jobs cows and low-income jobs middle class basically so I said to myself where could I go where basically there would be luck all over the place and the answer was California and then specifically the Bay Area if you plop yourself in the Bay Area and you've got talents you're going to do okay doesn't matter who you are you just have to go where the luck is but you also have to be prepared right you need some education that's relevant to to that all right so go find your luck that's your advice for today I guess apple is settling a lawsuit that uh has them admitting that their their digital assistant SI I don't want to say it to trigger all your phones but uh it was in fact listening to you even when you didn't notice and even when you didn't know it was listening it was doing exactly what you worried about is my phone sometimes just listening to me on its own yes it was doing exactly that now if you're worried you know what's the risk in that allegedly I believe that all it was doing is somewhat you know somewhat useful task of doing a better job of knowing what commercials you would want to look at so if the only thing it was doing and I'm not saying it's the only thing but if it was the only thing it was doing is it is served me up better ads I'd say well that's good I'd like to see ads that are more relevant to my experience of course but of course none of us trust that that's all it's going to do you kind of assume that they could just replay those those audios if they wanted to if if the machine is listening when you don't want it to are you telling me that there's no human being who could just play at any time they want or just listening live listening in real time now there's no claim of that but as long as the technology allows it well somebody's going to do it you know anything as possible gets done in our world so yeah yeah your privacy was completely compromised maybe not yet but it certainly was a system that guaranteed it if they didn't stop it and I I don't think anything actually I don't think the lawsuit would make any difference I think your devices are all going to be listening to you no matter what I just think they'll just keep doing it that's my guess meanwhile Thomas messie handed out to everybody in the new Congress their debt badge so he invented a little lapel badge that's got a digital readout that increases as the debt increases so you can see our $36 trillion do of debt zooming up now here's what I love about this um it was one thing when he had one for himself and he would hand them out to some people but giving them to everybody um is a powerful play because you want everybody to wear The Scarlet Letter of what what problems they caused so if you think that the the debt clock is so that they can tell you the public that the debt is bad well it kind of does that but the far more clever thing it does is it makes you wear it like a Scarlet Letter it's the Scarlet Debt Clock if you're if you're an elected politician and you're wearing uh literally a digital thing that shows the extent of your failure as a politician look at this you can't you can't Fail Harder Than This have you seen this 36 trillion and now it's 37 37 trillion that's how badly I failed now you could say that the new members of Congress haven't failed yet but it's still funny to make them wear it because they're going to fail you it's not like they're going to get rid of $ 36 trillion of debt very quickly so this is very CL ever I like I like everybody having one and I like the fact that it's an insult to them but they'll probably still use them or or even if they don't wear it and all they do is leave it at home they're probably going to leave it somewhere where they see it all the time and it's going to be like on top of their dresser and they're going to see it every time they get dressed but they're like ah I don't want to wear it but there it is so rule number one for persuasion the most important starting rule for persuasion you have to make people focus on your thing more than they were that's it that that's your rule number one so Massie is turning this concept of debt into a physical device that your eyes are looking at makes you think about it more than you were thinking about it that is really good persuasion so you know it looks like it's a clever toy and people want one because other people have one and but it's way more than that it it's just really really smart persuasion meanwhile uh we got a new speaker of the house there was no no real drama there took one vote and uh Mike Johnson's back at it and he's already saying that uh the house of Republicans will investigate the disbanded house select committee those are the those are the bad people who did the January 6 show trial what is not specified is whether the Republicans will run it as a show trial which would be kind of perfect you know to do to do back to the select committee what they did to the January Sixers why not do it in public now I'm sure that no matter what they do they'll be you know they'll have to testify in public but wouldn't it be funny if they did what the j6 committee did which was hire a a TV producer and really really make it watchable so that when you watch it you're like wow this is interesting because I'm not sure everybody watches the you know the clips of somebody testifying for three hours but you would definitely watch it if they Entertainer entertain atiz it making up a word so I don't know that Republicans do that but under the Trump Administration I feel like that might be the kind of thing that Trump could add to the process meaning you know you don't have to do this the boring way well Mr.

President we we don't want to be like the Democrats we we just want to get to the bottom of it and find out the truth yeah yeah I get that but you don't have to be boring so I feel like there's a conversation that's going to happen where Trump is going to take his reality TV experience which is nomenal and see if he can apply it to this situation we'll see see how it goes I think I'd be happy either way honestly but it'd be fun to see it as a uh as a show just to pay him back well meanwhile the Biden Administration has uh determined that the chemical for mahide which it turns out is in all kinds of products and in your environment all over the place um is an unre unreasonable risk to Human human health and should be regulated so you're basically surrounded by this thing that the administration just told you is deadly and it's everywhere and you're not going to get rid of it huh but I wonder if there is a counter argument yes turns out the American chemistry Council and they're of course a lobbying group for the chemical industry uh stressed the importance of firm alide and said that the determination that it was on reasonably risky was based on quote a flawed assessment so here's your choice uh I want to see which way you think the credibility is so on one hand you've got the government the Biden Administration so they've got a scientific take on the other hand you've got the scientists who are really lobbyists for the industry which one of those do you trust your government to get the science right and when was the last time they did that uh versus a lobbying group whose job really is to lie to you for all practical purposes that's that's how it works out um so if I told you hey trust the science do you have any access to the science no you don't you would have to trust either your government or a lobbyist group that's all you have so they're telling us that you're going to die if you get too close to this stuff but you have only an uncredible Source telling you and that it's being imposed by another non-credible source and that's what we call science and when the idiots who tell me you should trust the science and believe the science and don't be a science denier these are people who are seriously on inexperienced I feel like everybody who has like real world experience and has paid attention they don't trust the science so quickly you know what I mean by the way well I can't tell you yet but there there's some science that is really bad that I I've had a preview to I don't know if I could ever go public with it but oh my god um so Biden is going to award the presidential medal of freedom one of the country's greatest honors on a number of people but it includes George Soros and Hillary Clinton and you might be saying wait what I I probably heard that wrong it it couldn't possibly be true that Biden's giving our highest medal of freedom to Soros who has done the most to destroy the country and is the most closely associated with evil incarnate he's getting an award the high highest award meanwhile Hillary Clinton is also getting the award huh what do Hillary Clinton and George Soros have in common commonality oh ha abedine so she was longtime Confidant and assistant to Hillary Clinton and now is married to George soros's um son Alex who's taking over the business huh seems to me that wherever who epine is is the real power doesn't it she seems she's like a a moth to the flame so where she goes tells you where the real power is what do you make of the fact that Biden is doing something that's so remarkably obscene in giving these two characters the highest award in the country here's what I think is happening this is a flex this is how George Soros and Alex Soros tell you that they're still in control because if you can make Biden do this you are always in control th this is basically telling the Democrats hey the these are the ones are in control that's what I see I'm surprised they didn't throw Obama in there but I do wonder what's the dynamic between the Clinton power um Power Island versus the Obama power Island because I don't think the Democrats have you know one leader who's pulling all the strings I I think they probably have a Game of Thrones kind of few power sources vying for dominance but it seems to me that Obama has been taken completely off the field because I mean he just did such a bad job promoting Biden and he's the one who picked Biden and seems to have been behind the uh Russia collusion hoax and he's he's he didn't have a good year Obama didn't so I suspect that the sorer thing probably came from Soros Andor Hillary and that his real purpose is to establish them as legitimate rulers of the party albeit behind the scenes so that's a very artificial persuasion play this is to tell you that these are not uh the biggest criminals in the world world but rather should be respected meanwhile Greenland throw throws us a curve you know Trump wanted to maybe take control or buy Greenland and uh the the Danes who own it Denmark controls Greenland and the Dan said no way no way are we going to sell you Greenland it's valuable and we're going to keep it and now Greenland itself says you know what we don't like being owned by this colonizing Denmark we should be an independent country now here are some things you need to know about Greenland so first of all you probably know that it's strategically vital in a way that it didn't used to be because as the the ice melts in the Arctic it's going to be a fight for dominance among the superpowers and Greenland is sort of right there on the you know right in the mix so whoever controls the land mass of Greenland is going to be in a much more dominant position to you know control the nor what's north of the northern hemisphere I guess that's still the Northern Hemisphere but what happens when you get to the top of the planet that's nobody's hemisphere all right so there are 56,000 residents of Greenland approximately the whole country the entire country 56,000 for contact the small town that I live in has 7 75,000 people 75,000 people but that's my town and I don't live in a city I mean it's maybe a small City but it's more like a town there's one like one little Main Street the whole town and uh we're much bigger than all of Greenland Greenland has a GDP that's apparently Hard to measure for some reason but probably between three and for a billion dollars a year so it's not a big place and my question would be how in the world could Greenland as an independent country protect itself and a bigger question would be how could Denmark ever protect Greenland of course they couldn't not even close the only the only country that could protect Greenland you know properly would be the United States but they're not asking for that you know they would of course if they were independent they would make their own their own treaties and stuff maybe they could work out some kind of deal but here's what I think it seems to me that if I were in the CIA and my job was to secure America using you know every little clever trick I could the first thing I would do is convince Greenland that they really need to be independent so first you got to get them away from Denmark why because I'm guess in this is just speculation but I'm guessing that the CIA would not want to use dirty tricks against you know a European you know Ally you know it's not something we would do to Great Britain it's not something we would do to France it's it's not something we do to Denmark I think I mean it's not like it's not like all the countries are not spying and messing with each other a little bit but I don't think the United States would try to steal a land M Mass from Denmark like the other allies I I don't see how that could possibly happen but the moment this little 56,000 people um giant country becomes independent they're going to be helpless and completely vulnerable to CIA Bri bribery blackmail complete puppet control which is what we want we we might not want to own the country so much as have functional control over it and put our military that bases there and and maybe get some approval for mining of I guess they have a lot of rare earth minerals so there is there is a way to make a deal where they're independent but not really you know 56,000 people population could not stand up to the you know the power of our intelligence people if we wanted to have control of it so that's what I think is happening I think Greenland might be getting a little boost to say why don't you make us independent and then Denmark is going to say uh because because uh we own you then Greenland will say why do you own us you're on the other side of the world like what what rule says you should be ruling over us your colonizers so Denmark is going to have a hard time explaining it and apparently they also subsidize Greenland so if you're a if you're a voter in Denmark how much do you care that you're paying Greenland to exist like what and Greenland might drag you into a war might drag you into a war in the Arctic how much do the Danes want that they get no economic benefit because they're subsidizing I think that's true I'd need a fact check on that I don't think they have economic benefit I think it's just a cost and nothing there's nothing to gain from it it's just it is literally just Prestige maybe because it's something they own but now the prestige will turn into you evil colonizers you're preventing us from pursuing our destiny as a greenlander so it's an interesting interesting thing I just wonder if we're involved in this or it's happening organically if we're not involved and trying to make it happen I'd be disappointed and surprised meanwhile Justice Juan Muran he's the judge who is presiding over the case of trump getting those loans and misrepresenting the uh value of his properties said the courts now what we know is that um that case never would have come to fruition if it had been anybody but Trump we know there's no victim we know the bank said no we always check the values ourselves it doesn't matter what he said it's routine that we check the value ourselves and they did and they made a nice loan they got their money back no victims and it wasn't even outside the realm of ordinary business was it technically illegal well that's what that's what the jury found in the most biased place on Earth the jury found that so here's what's happening I was watching CNN yesterday and so it looks like the the bad guys the Democrats are going to use this to paint Trump as a felon who shouldn't be in office even though he is and what they're doing you have to be alerted to it is they're making you think past the sale which is persuasion and in this case propaganda what is the sale the sale is not whether he was found guilty or not because that's just something everybody agrees with that factually the court found him guilty but they're going past the sale that there should not have been any court case at all when the jury gets it the jury is just deciding facts based on the structure that the court gave to them they said here's what's here's what the uh guidelines are now you have to decide if this guideline in other words if you're if if a crime has been committed based on the guidelines we've given you and the facts we've presented you so the CNN um folks are trying to make you think that he must be guilty of felonies because the court found him so technically that's true but they're making you think past the part which was complete evil lawfare and should never have happened and everybody agrees it shouldn't have happened really except the most partisan so be aware of that don't let them make you think past the sale um so Trump humorously announced the appointment of Morgan Ortegas as a deputy special presidential Envoy and in his uh in his announcement he made it clear that uh quote early on Morgan fought me for three years but hopefully has learned her lesson so I wasn't aware of this but I guess Morgan oras at one point was an anti-trumper but because other people uh told Trump that she was the right one for this job and she has since of course become Pro Trump uh the other people said she should be in the job Trump says directly basically it's not his choice but he's going to let other people's opinion on this Rule and so he's going to go go ahead and do it now the fact that he said completely honestly it looks to me at least transparently he said that uh he's just not crazy better but he thinks under the circumstance it's worth a try I love that I love that and it is so sticky and persuasive because if you hear him talk like that and and you know he didn't care what anybody thought about it he just said well this is what I think this is what I thought of her before this is what I think of her now and here's why I'm going to do something that doesn't make sense to you because other people have a different opinion I'm going to let them I'm going to let them uh play that out everything about that I love now it must have been a bad day for Morgan Ortegas because she had she unlike other people who have been nominated uh she did not repost the truth social endorsement from Trump she just wrote her own so that's got to be kind of kind of embarrassing and humiliating but Trump as always done this the the persuasion play where he makes sure that if you're against him you pay a price and he makes sure that if you're with them you get like more benefits than you were expecting so I've often told you that's the the Pinnacle of good persuasion is that everybody knows there's a really big difference between making you happy and making you not happy oh if you make me not happy I'm going to make you twice as unhappy if you make me happy you might get a great job I might sing your praise I might retweet you something like that so he's really good at that making sure there's a giant difference and this was this was more of that well you may have been following the um drama that I stirred up yesterday on social media on X um because I noticed that Amazon had many of my calendars for 2025 listed except that I'm not selling a calendar on Amazon they were all counterfeits all of them and there were several now if you look you'll see that they've been removed because I made a very big deal about it yesterday and it got a lot of attention and um I was talking to their support trying to trying to get me to their legal team so I could talk about it as a legal problem but the more I thought about it I was like well yeah at first I thought well this is just sort of a ordinary business problem just have to be faster in reporting things but their system is such that you could report all day long but the the time it takes for them to react and sometimes they'll even require you to buy the product like if it's a book if it's a book you have to buy the product and then prove that the insides of the the book match the insides of your book that's their system and and there new ones coming on faster than you can do that because it you might take two weeks to get that done so there are some people who think that process works uh I think 100% of the people who wrote to me and said they tried it confirmed it doesn't work and apparently if you try to fix this no matter what kind of a seller you are whether you're whether you're selling Goods or books uh well anything that's not a book um apparently you hit glitches and problems and push back and eventually you get put out of business so the real model of Amazon for practical purposes is that it's a way to steal the good work of American businesses small businesses and hand it off to China so Amazon has become a weapon of mass destruction that China can use to suck all the vitality and Innovation out of our economy at the small business level which would be enough to destroy it now if they're doing that that's not just a legal IP question if it's massive it's a homeland security problem would we ever you know agree to a situation in which the entire business model of Amazon is to effectively hand over the IP to a Chinese company that will make your product and while you watch it and there's nothing you can do about it so a number of people wrote to me and said you know we we tried making a business online China stole all of our property knocked it off immediately we couldn't get couldn't get Amazon to take them down even though we tried sure there's a system it just doesn't work so then I thought to myself I wonder if I'm sort of imagining that Amazon could do more but they're intentionally not and uh I heard from an Insider so this is Mark Atwood on X this is public so he said this on X he said here's some inside from a former Amazonian roughly every three years this gets into the press and then retail I guess the part of Amazon that does the retail stuff put together a program they put together program and a team to fix it and they start fixing it right up until it starts reducing revenue and quote diversity of suppliers and then it's yanked up short and then the program is starved until it rots away because it doesn't actually generate revenue and there it sits until it shows up in the news again I watched it happened twice and found the remains of at least two previous cycles does that sound like it's accidental no so there's an Insider telling you that they intentionally starve the process because they make more money if they let it go and it's really that simple so they're allowing the complete rape of American businesses just wild wildly inappropriate theft and they the primary movers of it let me ask you this question we've all heard that China massively steals the intellectual property of companies that operate in China we're all aware of that right it's a well-known phenomenon who do you think is stolen more intellectual property Amazon or China because Amazon probably has you know essentially given China more opportunity to steal things than all of the companies that are just doing business in China itself so um I did ask uh I sent a DM to Senator Holly to ask if he can bring Bezos in and ask him what he's going to do about the fact that he's the primary agent for the destruction of the American economy because he is and I don't think that Bezos is a bad guy I think he wants what's best for America he might not be complet filled in on how bad it is he might have been told that they have a process so it's fine oh don't worry Jeff we have a process they can just report it and then we take it down but do they tell him that that process doesn't work for anybody do do you think he knows that well he probably knows it now because I made such a big stink about it millions of people viewed it I think I got three million views on one of them one of the views came from Thomas Massie who weighed in on this and said quote us inventors get ripped off on Amazon too oh it's worse than I thought Amazon makes money on The Fakes and knockoffs so they have no incentive to fix it yeah that tracks that tracks uh it's clear to me they should be legally liable for the fraud they help perpetuate on the public the authors and the inventors right however Thomas Massie this is not just a fraud case this is a homeland security issue we're literally we've created a pipeline to export our entire small business economy that sells things through the mail to China so yes I'm very happy that you wait in and he's he's right on top of it but I'd love to get it out of the frame that it's a fraud problem it is a fraud problem it is a fraud problem but that's not the thing I need fixed what I need fixed is stop throwing away the country stop transferring the intellectual weight of America to China that's that's what I need to stop anyway Mark cubin weighed in productively and he had a fairly long list of suggested fixes um I won't go into those because I don't know enough to know if they're exactly on point but they look it they look at so here's a here's one of those cases where I always talk about the internet dads when the election was on of course people took sides and Mark cubin was on a side that many of you were not on so we didn't like that part but we also understand politics as politics that's not the real world when it comes to the real world yes you want to Mark Cuban to say how do you fix this thing and to also observe that it needs fixing and to get the conversation going at a at a higher level so thank you Mark cu for a very productive um contribution to the conversation now one of the things I were I wondered about is uh why can't they fix it by just making the legitimate seller have the authority to take down the FES and if I take down a real one and the real one complains and Amazon Amazon says wait a minute this was real you took down a real one it's just your competitor well then I should be removed from the system forever right I never be allowed to sell on Amazon if even once I report my competitor when in fact the competitor is doing nothing wrong so I would put that I would put the um the ability to take down a copyright or just other violation I would put that on the the vendor and then you could say you know all Amazon is doing is is uh following instructions they're not part of the wholesale destruction of America now there were number of other things that Mark suggested they all worth seeing if you want to check it out on X um here's an update on the terrorists boy did this get I don't want to say fun because these are horrible events and people lost their lives but well you'll you'll see you'll see um here's what we know so as of today and I'm going to tell you what you know the official story is um I'm still open to every other theory of what's really happening so if you think you know the FBI is really behind it or you know whatever it is you think I'm okay with that I'm not going to rule it out but I do think the official story to me is sounding like it it all works there there's to me there's nothing missing in the official story so far that tells me oh this is this is an outside plot but let's talk about those things see if you disagree so some of the things we know is a Christopher Ray head of the FBI he warned us months ago that there would be lone wolves inspired by ISIS and it turns out that as far as the FBI can tell the New Orleans guy was a lone wolf and there's no indication yet that he was somewhat you know directly an Isis fighter or something he just seems inspired by now and so so so far there's no real mystery there Ry told us would happen it looks like it happened it's exactly like he called it it's inspired by not planned by um but there are coincidences such as they seem to have spent time at the same base army base but they weren't there at the same time and it's such a big army base that some like onethird of all soldiers go through it so there really is no coincidence to the the base thing it just means they were both in the military now is somebody who is in the military more likely to Stage a violent attack I would think so if if you've ever been involved in violently attacking people I feel like it would be an easier transition to violently attack some more people if that's what your philosophy said you do so I don't think it's a big coincidence they're both military so was Timothy Mc.

Vey um I don't think it's coincidence they were at the same base and I also don't think it was a coincidence that happened on the same day because if you did a survey and you said all right if you were a if you were a terrorist and you were looking for a big crowd to take out and you wanted to get a lot of attention where everybody's paying attention what day of the year would you pick I think you'd find I know 40% of the people who answered the question would say well the cameras are rolling and everybody's watching on New Year's Eve and you know that's the first day of 2025 and we plan to kick things up in 2025 so the one guaranteed time that it's going to work is the first day and I will go further and say if you had planned a 2025 attack or or maybe you were just trying to avoid Christmas it could be that they both would have done it whenever they were ready but they didn't want to ruin Christmas because literally they I think they both had families they didn't want to ruin Christmas so there's nothing really too coincidental about January 1st if it had been a random day like you know March 13th a random day well that would be a big coincidence but January 1 is probably the most likely Place anybody would have picked if they had bad intentions and wanted a big crowd and a lot of attention so no no real coin and also the use of the same rental company um as Tyrus pointed out on the five the other day and I told you uh I think I'm the first one to point it out you you could fact check me on this but I think I'm the first one in the country to say that's not a coincidence they're probably less monitored by authorities so if you want to get a big truck and you're in the military and maybe you said some things online about Isis probably if you go to Herz or Avis Homeland Security is already in the back door and probably they hear about you in the truck immediately I'm guessing and by the way I'd be disappointed if that's not true can you imagine if the CIA doesn't have access to the rental companies so they can tell who's getting the panel truck and also has you know some some issues with their online accounts they better be looking for that you know if they're in all of our other stuff and we've lost our privacy if they're not looking for the rental companies as the the first place to look for trouble they're not doing their job they need to be looking at that so I assume they are and I assume that if you planned something that required a truck you would use an app because it's less likely that anybody's in it and and the the automobiles in this case are private people's cars so the app hooks you up with a private person who has a car that they want to rent and you just pick it up wherever you meet that private person so none of those strike me as coincidences um then there's also the issue of oh okay so in my in my view the the Las Vegas guy was a mental case but I know you're going to point out Bo way Scot he's a py you know he's made to look like a mental case but really you know he was set up now the evidence from being set up um I haven't seen I haven't seen evidence he was set up you can't rule it out right can't rule it out but why would the CIA want to do the worst or somebody else why why would anybody want to do the most pathetic attack involving a cyber truck that's the wrong tool and fireworks that are the wrong tool and it didn't hurt anybody and the Las Vegas Trump Tower is not even owned by Trump as far as I know I think that's a licensed property I don't think Trump owns that you by the way I could take a fact check on that but I don't think he even owns the building I think they that it's a licensed property I think um so here's the oh then other things that are suspicious is that he loved Tesla and he loved Trump because he loved the Cyber Tru he was bragging to his girlfriend about it now do people try to hook up with a girlfriend and call them and say the cybert Trek is awesome and say they're going to Mexico and then all of a sudden they kill themselves in Vegas well here's what I think I think he was heading to Vegas not Mexico uh at the very least he was going through Vegas to get to Mexico because he stopped accidentally it looks like at a place called Las Vegas New Mexico like he just told his told his truck to drive there and then he didn't realize that he was on the wrong route and then he went to The Real Las Vegas so there's two points that say he was really trying to go to Las Vegas because he did it twice once the wrong Las Vegas so he at least wanted to Las Vegas anyway so there's and then allegedly used a 50 caliber gun to kill himself uh which left no dental records is that what happened did did he shoot himself with such an aggressive weapon that his teeth were destroyed I I just saw an indication of that but that doesn't exactly make sense to me because I thought the I thought the wound was on the top of his head I don't know so I don't understand the dental records part maybe you can fill me in but if you were mentally ill and planning to kill yourself would you try to hook up with your ex before you died because that's being treated as suspicious H you know if you're bent on dying are you going to try to hook up with your ex well let me answer this as a male yes yes you would absolutely try to hook up with your ex before you died if you're healthy and you're male and you're horny why wouldn't you so that's not weird that that's what a mentally ill guy would do as long as he was also healthy and he had the knowledge to create a better bomb but you just used fireworks and gasoline which doesn't look like a professional act however um fellow Named Sam shoemate was on the Shan Ryan podcast and I think I got this right that so so Sam shate runs an account where people give him tips on stuff a lot of military stuff because his background is military and he was apparently contacted ahead of the event but he didn't know the event was coming and allegedly sorry allegedly the Las Vegas um SL terrorist wrote to him and told him that he was trying to get attention for the fact that the drones over New Jersey are really exotic um gravitic propulsion devices that only China and the United States have and China now has it and these and these super Flying Saucer drones are coming from offshore from Chinese vessels and that's what's over New Jersey and they have unlimited power and they can destroy the entire East Coast or any part of it without without being harmed because they're their magical technology and that uh it's game over and China has complete control over destroying the country and he wanted to use fireworks so that it made a big show of things but clearly wasn't trying to destroy the building so does that make sense does that sound real to you well I definitely don't believe there's any such thing as gravitic propulsion devices um somebody said are you kidding Scott here here's a here's the patent so there's going on the internet there's a patent for the something like the graphitic graphitic propulsion device I don't believe that's a real patent you just have to look at it and say all right if you know a little bit about patents you know that you're not going to get a patent unless it's either already built and you could demonstrate that it works or it's something that a person who is skilled in the field could build somewhat EAS so you don't have to have a prototype if what you're describing is something that anybody anybody could build if they were in that field um I don't see a way you could get exotic propulsion device uh patented unless you could show you could build it or that somebody who knew this field could build it and there's nothing like that so now I'm not going to do the research to find out that that's a fake patent page it's clearly fake and and even if it did get patented which I suppose is possible it's not real couldn't possibly be real so um I'm not buying that Laura Laura Lan was pointing out that the email is filled with media talking points and smacks of a staged coverup well that's true it it did seem to be that he he had a lot of Kraken like talking points so so the that we could get the public talking about gravitic propulsion devices in China instead of maybe something else we should be paying attention to you know we're always worried about the distractions um Erica our New Jersey uh let's say uh journalist independent journalist at least in this case says the drones are still out in New Jersey so they were quiet over the holidays but oh okay well the so the photograph that um Erica just included in the uh the locals feed you can't see it if you're not on locals um showed clearly an aircraft because it's got the it's got the aircraft lights um so that would suggest it's at least legally operating um Scott you should see the anti-gravity patents you don't have to build it get a patent no I just said that you don't have to build it to get a patent as long as it's obvious that somebody in that field could build it that's the part that doesn't that's not real if somebody in that field could build it somebody would have already built one you'd be riding in it right now it couldn't possibly be real anyway um and I guess he repeatedly talked about making it to Mexico which does not track with the fact that he presumably had plans to end himself before he got to Mexico but I wonder if maybe the plan shifted it could be that maybe he thought I'll just blow up this car and then escape to Mexico that wouldn't make sense because he wouldn't have a vehicle so we don't know the Mexico part and as Laura Logan points out that would kind of suggest that he was set up um she also points out that there were two paper letters this survived the fire and explosion of the car however I don't think that's unusual uh because the the vehicle was not completely destroyed right so depending on where the letters were let's say if they were in the glove Department the glove compartment would they have been burned up I don't know so yes it's a head scratcher how two pieces of paper could survive a carire but it's not impossible because the Cyber truck had you know good walls of protection um and then there's also the claim from n NBC news that he used an exotic explosive compound wait is this the same guy no this is the other guy um so the New Orleans guy used an exotic compounds that makes it look like hey where do he learn that but uh I keep conflating the two attacks but that's a separate one anyway here's a so so my take so far I'll give you my tentative take uh the coincidences are largely explained Away by ordinary life they don't seem to be coordinated with each other one of them appears to have been mentally ill from PTSD uh that seems well I think pretty well likely and the other one seems inspired by ISIS but not maybe part of a larger wave of attacks so remember when every one of us were we were so sure when the attacks happened that this is the beginning of al-qaeda's wave of attacks because we saw Shan Ryan interview Sarah Adams which by the way because we live in a simulation is the name of my old cat I had a cat named Sarah who I called Sarah Adams so but they're different people this is actually a human so the human has high credibility people are saying very high credibility um I've confirmed that her credibility is impeccable because it turns out she follows me on X and I'm like that's really all you need to know that's impeccable impeccable logic and she's definitely on the right path anyway so her take was that uh there's going to be a massive wave of attacks in the United States and we all thought that that was the beginning of it it doesn't look like it it it looks like these were two random attacks that just naturally fell on the same day because it was a good day to attack so um now if you're just joining the stream let me remind you I do not have certainty about any of it I don't have certainty on any of the facts have that have so far been reported and I definitely don't have a certainty that there's not some larger clever plot and he's he's a py or any of that stuff I don't I don't know but so far these look like ordinary cases ordinary meaning somebody was inspired by ISIS you know he had he had the name he had the background and the other one he just had PTSD and maybe he changed his plans in the middle and maybe he was half decided whether he was going to kill himself versus whether he was going to try to get away and then maybe at the last minute you said you know I'm never going to get away with it I might as well just do it now now people asked how do you shoot yourself after the explosion because he set off the explosives but still managed to shoot himself like how do you get the timing right and my answer is you just do them at the same time I imagine the explosive took a moment to you know to detonate there's probably a fuse there some he probably threw some you know threw a flame back there and maybe the gap qu on First and the fireworks are second so he probably had at least one second to pull the trigger KN you think if you did them simultaneously there's probably a little bit of delay before the fire turns into an explosion plenty of time I don't think that's I don't think that's weird at all and it's also possible yeah no it it may be that he was just going to do the gun in case he got burned and didn't die and then he thought you know I might as well just not feel any pain so we'll see Joy Reed over at MSNBC and her her guest Charles blow yeah that's his actual name um there they're talking about the real danger of being a white man and they think think that things are overblown because it because one of them was brown uh but she wants to know the the really big problem is uh young white men in America we need to look at our domestic terrorism well I don't disagree that there have been you know white American men who did some you know mass shootings that certainly happened but I don't see it as the same level of risk because you're really assuming you're really Imagining the future if you're talking about risk you're not talking about the past because that's done the past it might have been true there were periods where the you know somebody who called himself a a white supremacist did more damage than a terrorist for any given six-month period or a year whatever but there's no way these are the same level of risk you know whatever happens from individuals is going to be you know one terrible act that probably had multiple deaths but if you're being attacked with waves of attack you know maybe a, or 1500 terrorists who were in the country who are going to die trying that's a whole different deal I mean that's really different so so MSNBC continues to be a joke um if you're not following on X the account of Shan Ono Lenin I recommend it he's very interesting now what's interesting is that you really can't tell if he's democrat or republican by watching his account and I love that because he weighs it on a lot of topics that are in the news but you really can't tell and the reason you can't tell is because he just takes a common sense approach to things that we normally just take the hyper partisan approach to so he is very good at just being interesting and not giving away bias just telling you what the thing looks like so he had this comment today he said I think overall people are less easily fooled now than they were in the past part of the disintegration of cohesive Society is a result of this Awakening I really hope it leads somewhere good I worry that it won't so he's noticing that people are learning to be less easily fooled do you agree with that people are learning to be less easily fooled he's half right it's only happening on one side and the people who make an effort to see what the other side is saying so somebody like Elon Musk is watching both arguments and so he decided to kind of change teams because he saw both both arguments and he he's the kind of person who can you know figure out what the fake stuff is I would argue that something happened on the conservative side of politics that did not happen or even close on the Democrat side and that is that there were people like me and I could name 10 other people who are going out of their way to debunk fake news on the other side but also to teach you the tools for doing it yourself which is what I do I try to teach you all right for example I say if the news only has one um One Source and it's an anonymous source you should treat that as zero credibility now that's not what people would have done automatically most people would said well it's not proven but they got that one source and of course they want to be anonymous why wouldn't they so yeah that's pretty credible no the answer is nothing there has no credibility it's almost it's almost impossible that that's going to be true so that's the sort of thing that you have to learn because because it's opposite of Common Sense your common sense says well you know they wouldn't report it if it wasn't at least possibly true so you have to get past they wouldn't say it if it were fake and you have to get past well I think some of the news is real no no not any of the political news it's all framed you know it might be true facts but it's usually framed in a way that's misleading um so in my opinion the Democrats were the hoax and fake news creating entity and in response because there's always a response the the conservatives built up a resource that the left doesn't have and that resource is a bunch of people that you can immediately go to to find out what's true all right let me ask you this how many of you have seen a headline story and one of the first questions you asked about it was what does Adam say about this but not just me you probably said okay what does cernovich say about this if it's it's a legal thing I say what does durood say about it what do what does turle say about it I know exactly where to go to find the fake news if if it's a technology thing like I I'll look I'll look for the smartest technology people I'll look for Mark Andre if it's a technology thing to find out if it's true I'll look for bellagi sh nasan I'll look for uh nval ravikant so and of course Elon Musk so we've veloped we collectively have developed on the right this this BS snipping system which is quite wild I don't it's never existed before as far as I know and that's different and they can't match it if they matched it they would disintegrate because then their base would realize that the main things are being told are fake so if they teach their base how to spot fakes the the entire operation falls apart because it's mostly ba built on fake news so that's funny so again Sean Ono lennin good follow I recommend it highly and uh I like that he noticed I like that he noticed that people are less easily fooled but I think that's because He follows both sides see if you follow both sides then you learn how to spot the fakes so he's probably picked it up just from people he follows on the right um at the let's see this is John no who's reporting that the 2024 domestic box office is down um 24% since five years ago now there's a comparison thing I'm not sure how the pandemic Works in there but it's even down this year a little bit just a few percent from what it was last year and I just want to weigh in on this now a lot the smart people said it's not the pandemic it's it's not anything it's just the movies are bad that's what I think I think just the movies are bad but on top of that I don't even think of movies as something that people watch anymore what there are very few movies that you're going to want to W spend two hours on very rarely so when I think of things I would want to spend spend time on I just don't even think of a movie anymore because I know I'm not going to like it and my attention span like yours is so shorten now that I like uh I can go through a thousand reals you know the little Quick videos and every one of them will entertain me because they you know the algorithm makes sure that and I'm absolutely totally entertained and I can stop whenever I want to go do something else I don't have to drive somewhere and buy bad popcorn and sit there for 2 and a half hours and wish I were closer to a restroom yeah so I don't see how movies really survive in the future speaking of surviving um Ukraine now has these miniature missiles to knock down drones I guess they were made in Estonia if you didn't know this Estonia is a wildly successful little country did you know that I I have a a friend who's Estonian who I think at one point he was probably the richest person in Estonia because he he uh was one of the adventures of uh uh what is the before Zoom there was the thing before Zoom um so Estonia the estonians are really high-tech uh they've got they've got a a real good little high-tech situation going there one of the things they do in Estonia is that you can vote by app Don't how many times have you said to yourself why why can't we vote by an app like why seems like that would be obvious the most obvious thing especially if your app does a a face recognition if I if I vote on my phone and I use facial recognition to make my app take the vote I'm going to feel pretty good that that vote got registered properly so Estonia is already doing it so you don't have to wonder if it works they seem happy with it but they've also made this little miniature rocket and I think it uses AI which is what's new and interesting about it but it goes really high uh so it can so we can get even the high drones so it looks like the the missil is maybe just a foot tall and not very wide and I need one of those for home is there any way I can get an AI anti-d drone missile for home I'll put it on my roof no all right well speaking of the algorithm uh yanas says that the X algorithm is going to be tweaked soon um to promote more informational entertaining content and he says I like how he puts this this is a great framing for the the objective our goal is to maximize that is the most human friendly way to say what you're doing what I would hate is to say he's just trying to get his you know usage minutes up um or I would hate if he said we're trying to tell the truth you know we only tell the truth you know nobody nobody thinks the truth is coming through social media but he says it in the the most perfect way he wants to maximize have you ever spent a bunch of time on social media and said ah God I wish I didn't do that like it just gave me a headache and I feel bad now I'm scared of everything you have right those are regretted minutes he's trying to maximize unregrettably what it is and this is such a good frame um there's a report in axios that Biden and his and his uh advisers had a meeting not too long ago about uh possibility of striking Iran's nuclear sites before January 20th and Trump is sworn in now here's what you need to know about this kind of story if the government is doing its job and the military is doing its job they should always be talking about this kind of stuff it doesn't mean it's going to happen but yes I want my president meeting with the military and I want the military to say it's not the only thing we can do but if you decided to go this way this is what we could do yeah I want I want that meeting every week it it shouldn't be news that they had a meeting and they discussed one of the most obvious paths and apparently there's there's no energy to do it so they had the meeting they heard the Alternatives they decided collectively apparently with not a lot of disagreement I I would guess that they're not going to do it I I I feel like that article was written as sort of a a dis on Biden that's not a diss TR every time this story is about Trump trump held a meeting to see if he can I don't know nuke a hurricane and then people said oh no no it's crazy no I want that meeting I don't think was a meeting I think it was just an offhand comment you made once but I want that I I want him to ask the question well do we have the technology to Nuke it and it's fine if the answer is no that's crazy there's no way that could work we couldn't control the there's no way you could control the radiation okay but do I like that he ask the question yes yes I want I want my leader to be asking the question not just of the obvious stuff but I want him to ask the non-obvious stuff that was a non-obvious question I like it and and if if the only thing it does is make you think deeper about other possibilities that are possible so suppose suppose the answer was no that's crazy we're not going to use a nuke to stop a hurricane but what if then the person you asked said but I do have an idea suppose you did this here's an idea that would actually work to reduce hurricanes you would uh you you greenify Northern Africa which can't be done so basically you just let your animals essentially the way you green a desert area is you have animals in the part that's still got enough green that they can eat and then the the cows will or whatever livestock they eat what's there and then sometimes they wander to the edge of the area and poop and then that creates collectively some place where more things are going to grow and then just the cows wandering around and eating and pooping will make your Greenery just extend into the into the desert so suppose that Trump ask the question that's completely impractical nuking a hurricane but the person asks is you know uh I've heard this other idea and then you have the conversation well is that practical is there any way we could in a coste effective way reduce hurricanes just by you know emphasizing The Greening because The Greening here's why that works the Northern Africa is where it gets super hot and then that heat is what drives the Hurricanes you have the heat differential basically so if you reduce the differential Heat by making just the desert less hot it should take some steam off the hurricanes and that's maybe doable so I'm always in favor of asking the bad question should we nuke a hurricane cuz then every then that opens up everybody to all the other possibilities and maybe there's one you hadn't talked about yet that's good technique I like it in Biden and I like it in Trump so that's two a pluses um and I think that's everything I wanted to say today so I remind you that Owen gregorian's going to do a spaces after we're done so he's been doing that on Saturdays after the show people seem to like it it was well attended so look for that uh probably just a few minutes after we're done it's on Spaces on X um and you watched three movies in three days you had nothing better to do than that did you also exercise because if you watch movies and you didn't exercise that day you need to rethink that all the AI invasion is coordinated with a writer strike interesting um all right let me just look at your comments here for a moment uh Dilbert assumption SC Not About best idea of the year uh LA Times oh I could probably get I could get Dilbert back in some newspapers yeah I just don't want Dilbert in newspapers anymore because newspapers are just a dying industry there's no point I could get a few newspapers but they don't pay much individually it wouldn't make any difference to my income so even if I got a few big papers like hypothetically that what was mentioned was the LA Times so even if the LA Times said you know we're trying to be different than we were and we'll take you back that would be like $100 a month did you know that that That's how little they pay for cartoons it's like a $100 a month so uh if you have 2,000 of them and they all pay different rates depending on the size um then you're making real money but to get one or two papers to take dilbra back wouldn't make any difference at all it's there's no income involved with that yeah I'd have to start censoring myself again don't want that all right um since Owen's going to do as spaces you'll have some time to chat with each other um I think I'll end this and maybe just say hi quickly to the locals people but everybody on X and Rumble and You.

Tube thanks for joining and You.

Tube is going to probably demonetize me because they do every once in a while and we don't know why I think twice recently for no obvious reason um so just know that all right locals coming at you privately e e e e

happy cat day

everybody let me make sure my comments

are

working uh oh I spelled the title wrong

darn

it

[Music]

tyo I assure you I really do know how to

spell conspiracy but you wouldn't know

it from the title I put on the show

good morning everybody and welcome to

the highlight of human

civilization I mean at least until we

get our gravitic propulsion systems

can't

wait um but if you'd like to take this

experience up to levels that nobody can

even comprehend with their tiny shiny

human brains all you need is a cuper

marer glass of tanker chelin a canteen

suer flask a vessel of any kind fill it

with your favorite liquid I like coffee

and join me now for the imper pleasure

the dopamine end of the day the thing

that makes everything better it's called

that's right the simultaneous sip

yeah

incredible best thing they happened to

me

today well the news is all fun and

interesting so I'm going to zip through

it and Delight you number one oh first

of all uh Owen is going to do a

spaces which he's been been doing on

Saturdays so you could look for that I

don't know if it will become a long-term

tradition but at least for today uh Owen

Gregorian will be doing a spaces after

this show where you can talk about what

we talked about or I suppose anything

else all right so look for that so

yesterday I opened up my chat GPT app

which I haven't looked at recently

because I I've been using other

apps and I didn't realize that uh that

my app had already been upgraded

so that you can do the thing where you

open the camera on your phone you could

just point your camera at stuff and the

AI will have a conversation with you

about what you're looking at now I

didn't really know how cool that was

until

yesterday where I'm standing outside my

driveway at night and the the moon is

out nice little crescent but really near

the Moon is this very bright presumably

a planet and I said to myself huh which

planet is that it's so bright and so I

turned on the chat GPT camera and I just

aimed it at the sky and I said what

planet do you think that is and Chad GPT

said well it could be you know this

bright Planet could be this or it could

be that but it's probably Venus because

that's the brightest one that would be

in in that part of the sky and so I said

to it because it's it chats with you you

don't have to touch another button you

can just keep the conversation going so

I said to it are you saying that Venus

is the shiny one and does that mean that

the other planets would be experiencing

Venus

envy and it laughed at my joke and

complimented

me it actually reacted to the joke

positively now that just that just

freaked me out because if you're a

person who likes to get credit for

telling jokes which is literally my

profession I worry that I would get

hooked on that you know just having AI

tell me I did a good joke like yeah yeah

artificial intelligence right there if

you think it's funny it must be funny

but then I remembered that AI can only

do dad jokes and that that was basically

just a PG13 dad joke like H okay more

work to go anyway there's a study uh

written written about in study finds

the success could come down to luck more

than Merit according to research H

research was there a faster way to find

out if luck is a component of success

what uh if they didn't want to spend the

time and the money on a whole research

project is there any other way oh yeah

they could have asked Scott hey Scott

we're thinking of spending a bunch of

time and money to find out if luck

influences success and I'd be like hm

H yeah it does it does but I would add

the following which I think they didn't

discover that you can make more luck for

yourself you can make more luck for

yourself how do you do that well get out

of your

chair if you're just sitting at home in

a chair you're not going to have much

luck but maybe if you go meet some

people apply for some jobs that are you

know above your level try to build

something in your garage just to see if

it works take a few classes to build

your talent stack move to a place where

there's more opportunity get involved

with an industry that's growing quickly

instead of shrinking yeah you can change

your luck you can absolutely change your

luck now not in any moment and not a

specific way but you can go where

there's more luck that was exactly my

strategy when I graduated college in

upstate New York and I looked around and

said if I stay in Upstate New

York what kind of luck would I have well

I might get lucky with a

cow and that's about it because that's

what there were in Upstate New York we

had cows and then there were people who

had low-income

jobs cows and low-income jobs middle

class

basically so I said to myself where

could I go where basically there would

be luck all over the place and the

answer was California and then

specifically the Bay Area if you plop

yourself in the Bay Area and you've got

talents you're going to do okay doesn't

matter who you are you just have to go

where the luck is but you also have to

be prepared right you need some

education that's relevant to to that all

right so go find your luck that's your

advice for today I guess apple is

settling a lawsuit

that uh has them admitting

that their their digital assistant SI I

don't want to say it to trigger all your

phones but uh it was in fact listening

to you even when you didn't notice and

even when you didn't know it was

listening it was doing exactly what you

worried about is my phone sometimes just

listening to me on its own yes it was

doing exactly that now if you're worried

you know what's the risk in that

allegedly I believe that all it was

doing is somewhat you know somewhat

useful task of doing a better job of

knowing what commercials you would want

to look at so if the only thing it was

doing and I'm not saying it's the only

thing but if it was the only thing it

was doing is it is served me up better

ads I'd say well that's

good I'd like to see ads that are more

relevant to my experience of course but

of course none of us trust that that's

all it's going to do you kind of assume

that they could just replay those those

audios if they wanted to if if the

machine is listening when you don't want

it to are you telling me that there's no

human being who could just play at any

time they want or just listening live

listening in real time now there's no

claim of that but as long as the

technology allows it well somebody's

going to do it you know anything as

possible gets done in our world so yeah

yeah your privacy was completely

compromised maybe not yet but it

certainly was a system that guaranteed

it if they didn't stop it and I I don't

think anything actually I don't think

the lawsuit would make any difference I

think your devices are all going to be

listening to you no matter what I just

think they'll just keep doing it that's

my guess meanwhile Thomas messie handed

out to everybody in the new Congress

their debt badge so he invented a little

lapel badge that's got a digital readout

that increases as the debt increases so

you can see our $36 trillion do of debt

zooming up now here's what I love about

this um it was one thing when he had one

for himself and he would hand them out

to some people but giving them to

everybody um is a powerful play because

you want everybody to wear The Scarlet

Letter of what what problems they caused

so if you think that the the debt clock

is so that they can tell you the public

that the debt is bad well it kind of

does that but the far more clever thing

it does is it makes you wear it like a

Scarlet

Letter it's the Scarlet Debt Clock if

you're if you're an elected politician

and you're wearing uh literally a

digital thing that shows the extent of

your failure as a

politician look at this you can't you

can't Fail Harder Than This have you

seen this 36 trillion and now it's 37 37

trillion that's how badly I failed now

you could say that the new members of

Congress haven't failed yet but it's

still funny to make them wear it because

they're going to fail you it's not like

they're going to get rid of $ 36

trillion of debt very quickly so this is

very CL ever I like I like everybody

having one and I like the fact that it's

an insult to them but they'll probably

still use them or or even if they don't

wear it and all they do is leave it at

home they're probably going to leave it

somewhere where they see it all the time

and it's going to be like on top of

their dresser and they're going to see

it every time they get dressed but

they're like ah I don't want to wear it

but there it is so rule number one for

persuasion the most important starting

rule for persuasion you have to make

people focus on your thing more than

they were that's it that that's your

rule number one so Massie is turning

this concept of debt into a physical

device that your eyes are looking at

makes you think about it more than you

were thinking about it that is really

good persuasion so you know it looks

like it's a clever toy and people want

one because other people have one and

but it's way more than that it it's just

really really smart

persuasion meanwhile

uh we got a new speaker of the house

there was no no real drama there took

one vote and uh Mike Johnson's back at

it and he's already saying that uh the

house of Republicans will investigate

the disbanded house select committee

those are the those are the bad people

who did the January 6 show

trial what is not

specified is whether the Republicans

will run it as a show

trial which would be kind of perfect you

know to do to do back to the select

committee what they did to the January

Sixers why not do it in public now I'm

sure that no matter what they do they'll

be you know they'll have to testify in

public but wouldn't it be funny if they

did what the j6 committee did which was

hire a a TV producer and really really

make it watchable so that when you watch

it you're like wow this is interesting

because I'm not sure everybody watches

the you know the clips of somebody

testifying for three hours but you would

definitely watch it if they Entertainer

entertain atiz it making up a word so I

don't know that Republicans do that but

under the Trump

Administration I feel like that might be

the kind of thing that Trump could add

to the process meaning you know you

don't have to do this the boring

way well Mr President we we don't want

to be like the Democrats we we just want

to get to the bottom of it and find out

the truth yeah yeah I get that but you

don't have to be

boring so I feel like there's a

conversation that's going to happen

where Trump is going to take his reality

TV experience which is nomenal and see

if he can apply it to this situation

we'll see see how it goes I think I'd be

happy either way honestly but it'd be

fun to see it as a uh as a show just to

pay him

back well meanwhile the Biden

Administration has uh determined that

the chemical for mahide which it turns

out is in all kinds of products and in

your environment all over the place um

is an unre unreasonable risk to Human

human health and should be

regulated so you're basically surrounded

by this thing that the administration

just told you is deadly and it's

everywhere and you're not going to get

rid of it huh but I wonder if there is a

counter argument yes turns out the

American chemistry Council and they're

of course a lobbying group for the

chemical industry uh stressed the

importance of firm alide and said that

the determination that it was on

reasonably risky was based on quote a

flawed

assessment so here's your choice uh I

want to see which way you think the

credibility is so on one hand you've got

the government the Biden

Administration so they've got a

scientific take on the other hand you've

got the scientists who are really

lobbyists for the industry which one of

those do you trust your government to

get the science right

and when was the last time they did that

uh versus a lobbying group whose job

really is to lie to you for all

practical purposes that's that's how it

works

out

um so if I told you hey trust the

science do you have any access to the

science no you don't you would have to

trust either your government or a

lobbyist group that's all you have

so they're telling us that you're going

to die if you get too close to this

stuff but you have only an uncredible

Source telling you and that it's being

imposed by another non-credible source

and that's what we call science and when

the idiots who tell me you should trust

the science and believe the science and

don't be a science denier these are

people who are

seriously on

inexperienced I feel like everybody who

has like real world experience and has

paid attention

they don't trust the science so quickly

you know what I

mean by the way well I can't tell you

yet but there there's some science

that is really bad that I I've had a

preview to I don't know if I could ever

go public with it but oh my god

um so Biden is going to award the

presidential medal of freedom one of the

country's greatest honors

on a number of people but it includes

George Soros and Hillary

Clinton and you might be saying wait

what I I probably heard that wrong it it

couldn't possibly be true that Biden's

giving our highest medal of freedom to

Soros who has done the most to destroy

the country and is the most closely

associated with evil

incarnate he's getting an award the high

highest award meanwhile Hillary Clinton

is also getting the award huh what do

Hillary Clinton and George Soros have in

common commonality oh ha

abedine so she was longtime Confidant

and assistant to Hillary Clinton and now

is married to George

soros's um son Alex who's taking over

the business huh seems to me that

wherever

who epine is is the real power doesn't

it she seems she's like a a moth to the

flame so where she goes tells you where

the real power

is what do you make of the fact that

Biden is doing something that's so

remarkably

obscene in giving these two characters

the highest award in the country here's

what I think is

happening this is a

flex this is how George Soros and Alex

Soros tell you that they're still in

control because if you can make Biden do

this you are always in

control th this is basically telling the

Democrats

hey the these are the ones are in

control that's what I see I'm surprised

they didn't throw Obama in there but I

do wonder what's the dynamic between the

Clinton

power um Power Island

versus the Obama power Island because I

don't think the Democrats have you know

one leader who's pulling all the strings

I I think they probably have a Game of

Thrones kind of few power sources vying

for dominance but it seems to me that

Obama has been taken completely off the

field because I mean he just did such a

bad job promoting Biden and he's the one

who picked Biden and seems to have been

behind the uh Russia collusion hoax and

he's he's he didn't have a good year

Obama didn't so I suspect that the sorer

thing probably came from Soros Andor

Hillary and that his real purpose is to

establish them as

legitimate rulers of the party albeit

behind the

scenes so that's a very artificial

persuasion play this is to tell you that

these are not uh the biggest criminals

in the world world but rather should be

respected meanwhile Greenland throw

throws us a curve you know Trump wanted

to maybe take control or buy Greenland

and uh the the Danes who own it Denmark

controls Greenland and the Dan said no

way no way are we going to sell you

Greenland it's valuable and we're going

to keep it and now Greenland itself says

you know what we don't like being owned

by this colonizing Denmark we should be

an independent

country now here are some things you

need to know about Greenland so first of

all you probably know that it's

strategically vital in a way that it

didn't used to be because as the the ice

melts in the Arctic it's going to be a

fight for dominance among the

superpowers and Greenland is sort of

right there on the you know right in the

mix so whoever controls the land mass of

Greenland is going to be in a much more

dominant position to you know control

the nor what's north of the northern

hemisphere I guess that's still the

Northern Hemisphere but what happens

when you get to the top of the planet

that's nobody's hemisphere all right so

there are

56,000 residents of Greenland

approximately the whole

country the entire country

56,000 for contact

the small town that I live in has 7

75,000

people 75,000 people but that's my town

and I don't live in a city I mean it's

maybe a small City but it's more like a

town there's one like one little Main

Street the whole town and uh we're much

bigger than all of Greenland Greenland

has a GDP that's apparently Hard to

measure for some reason but probably

between three and for a billion dollars

a year so it's not a big place and my

question would be how in the world could

Greenland as an independent country

protect

itself and a bigger question would be

how could Denmark ever protect Greenland

of course they couldn't not even

close the only the only country that

could protect Greenland you know

properly would be the United States but

they're not asking for that you know

they would of course if they were

independent they would make their own

their own treaties and stuff maybe they

could work out some kind of deal but

here's what I

think it seems to me that if I were in

the

CIA and my job was to secure America

using you know every little clever trick

I could the first thing I would do is

convince Greenland that they really need

to be independent so first you got to

get them away from Denmark why because

I'm guess in this is just speculation

but I'm guessing that the CIA would not

want to use dirty tricks against you

know a European you know Ally you know

it's not something we would do to Great

Britain it's not something we would do

to France it's it's not something we do

to Denmark I think I mean it's not like

it's not like all the countries are not

spying and messing with each other a

little bit but I don't think the United

States would try to steal a land M Mass

from Denmark

like the other allies I I don't see how

that could possibly happen but the

moment this little

56,000

people um giant country becomes

independent they're going to be

helpless and completely vulnerable to

CIA Bri bribery blackmail complete

puppet control which is what we want we

we might not want to own the country so

much as have functional control over it

and put our military that bases there

and and maybe get some approval for

mining of I guess they have a lot of

rare earth minerals so there is there is

a way to make a deal where they're

independent but not really you know

56,000 people population could not stand

up to the you know the power of our

intelligence people if we wanted to have

control of it

so that's what I think is happening I

think Greenland might be getting a

little boost to say why don't you make

us independent and then Denmark is going

to say uh because because uh we own you

then Greenland will say why do you own

us you're on the other side of the world

like what what rule says you should be

ruling over us your colonizers so

Denmark is going to have a hard time

explaining it and apparently they also

subsidize

Greenland so if you're a if you're a

voter in Denmark how much do you care

that you're paying Greenland to

exist like

what and Greenland might drag you into a

war might drag you into a war in the

Arctic how much do the Danes want that

they get no economic benefit because

they're subsidizing I think that's true

I'd need a fact check on that I don't

think they have economic

benefit I think it's just a cost and

nothing there's nothing to gain from it

it's just it is literally just Prestige

maybe because it's something they own

but now the prestige will turn into you

evil colonizers you're preventing us

from pursuing our destiny as a

greenlander so it's an interesting

interesting thing I just wonder if we're

involved in this or it's happening

organically if we're not involved and

trying to make it happen I'd be

disappointed and surprised

meanwhile Justice Juan

Muran he's the judge who is presiding

over the case of trump getting those

loans and misrepresenting the uh value

of his properties said the courts now

what we know is that um that case never

would have come to fruition if it had

been anybody but Trump we know there's

no victim we know the bank said no we

always check the values ourselves it

doesn't matter what he said it's routine

that we check the value ourselves and

they did and they made a nice loan they

got their money back no victims and it

wasn't even outside the realm of

ordinary business was it technically

illegal well that's what that's what the

jury found in the most biased place on

Earth the jury found that

so here's what's happening I was

watching CNN yesterday and so it looks

like the the bad guys the Democrats are

going to use this to paint Trump as a

felon who shouldn't be in office even

though he

is and what they're doing you have to be

alerted to it is they're making you

think past the sale which is persuasion

and in this case

propaganda what is the sale the sale is

not whether he was found guilty or

not because that's just something

everybody agrees with that factually the

court found him guilty but they're going

past the sale that there should not have

been any court case at all when the jury

gets it the jury is just deciding facts

based on the structure that the court

gave to them they said here's what's

here's what the uh guidelines are now

you have to decide if this guideline in

other words if you're if if a crime has

been

committed based on the guidelines we've

given you and the facts we've presented

you

so the CNN um folks are trying to make

you think that he must be guilty of

felonies because the court found him so

technically that's true but they're

making you think past the part which was

complete evil lawfare and should never

have happened and everybody agrees it

shouldn't have happened really except

the most partisan so be aware of that

don't let them make you think past the

sale

um so Trump humorously announced the

appointment of Morgan Ortegas as a

deputy special presidential Envoy and in

his uh in his announcement he made it

clear that uh quote early on Morgan

fought me for three years but hopefully

has learned her

lesson so I wasn't aware of this but I

guess Morgan oras at one point was an

anti-trumper but because other people

uh told Trump that she was the right one

for this job and she has since of course

become Pro Trump uh the other people

said she should be in the job Trump says

directly basically it's not his choice

but he's going to let other people's

opinion on this Rule and so he's going

to go go ahead and do it now the fact

that he said completely honestly it

looks to me at least transparently he

said that uh he's just not crazy better

but he thinks under the circumstance

it's worth a

try I love

that I love that and it is so sticky and

persuasive because if you hear him talk

like that and and you know he didn't

care what anybody thought about it he

just said well this is what I think this

is what I thought of her before this is

what I think of her now and here's why

I'm going to do something that doesn't

make sense to you because other people

have a different opinion I'm going to

let them I'm going to let them uh play

that

out everything about that I love now it

must have been a bad day for Morgan

Ortegas because she had she unlike other

people who have been nominated uh she

did not repost the truth

social endorsement from Trump she just

wrote her

own so that's got to be kind of kind of

embarrassing and humiliating but Trump

as always done this the the persuasion

play where he makes sure that if you're

against him you pay a price and he makes

sure that if you're with them you get

like more benefits than you were

expecting so I've often told you that's

the the Pinnacle of good persuasion is

that everybody knows there's a really

big difference between making you happy

and making you not happy oh if you make

me not happy I'm going to make you twice

as unhappy if you make me happy you

might get a great job I might sing your

praise I might retweet you something

like that so he's really good at that

making sure there's a giant difference

and this was this was more of

that well you may have been following

the um drama that I stirred up yesterday

on social media on X um because I

noticed that Amazon had many of my

calendars for 2025 listed except that

I'm not selling a calendar on Amazon

they were all counterfeits all of them

and there were several now if you look

you'll see that they've been removed

because I made a very big deal about it

yesterday and it got a lot of attention

and um I was talking to their support

trying to trying to get me to their

legal team so I could talk about it as a

legal problem but the more I thought

about it I was like well yeah at first I

thought well this is just sort of a

ordinary business problem just have to

be faster in reporting things but their

system is such that you could report all

day long but the the time it takes for

them to react and sometimes they'll even

require you to buy the

product like if it's a book if it's a

book you have to buy the product and

then prove that the insides of the the

book match the insides of your book

that's their system and and there new

ones coming on faster than you can do

that because it you might take two weeks

to get that done

so there are some people who think that

process works uh I think 100% of the

people who wrote to me and said they

tried it confirmed it doesn't work and

apparently if you try to fix this no

matter what kind of a seller you are

whether you're whether you're selling

Goods or books uh well anything that's

not a book um apparently you hit

glitches and problems and push back and

eventually you get put out of business

so the real model of Amazon for

practical purposes is that it's a way to

steal the good work of American

businesses small businesses and hand it

off to China so Amazon has become a

weapon of mass destruction that China

can use to suck all the vitality and

Innovation out of our economy at the

small business level which would be

enough to destroy it

now if they're doing that that's not

just a legal IP question

if it's

massive it's a homeland security

problem would we ever you know agree to

a situation in which the entire business

model of Amazon is to effectively hand

over the IP to a Chinese company that

will make your product and while you

watch it and there's nothing you can do

about it so a number of people wrote to

me and said you know we we tried making

a business online China stole all of our

property knocked it off immediately we

couldn't get couldn't get Amazon to take

them down even though we tried sure

there's a system it just doesn't

work so then I thought to myself I

wonder if I'm sort of

imagining that Amazon could do more but

they're intentionally not and uh I heard

from an Insider so this is Mark Atwood

on X this is public so he said this on X

he said here's some inside from a former

Amazonian roughly every three years this

gets into the press and then retail I

guess the part of Amazon that does the

retail stuff put together a program they

put together program and a team to fix

it and they start fixing it right up

until it starts reducing revenue and

quote diversity of suppliers and then

it's yanked up short and then the

program is starved until it rots away

because it doesn't actually generate

revenue and there it sits until it shows

up in the news again I watched it

happened twice and found the remains of

at least two previous

cycles does that sound like it's

accidental no so there's an Insider

telling you that they intentionally

starve the process because they make

more money if they let it go and it's

really that simple so they're allowing

the complete rape of American businesses

just wild

wildly inappropriate theft and they the

primary movers of it let me ask you this

question we've all heard that China

massively steals the intellectual

property of companies that operate in

China we're all aware of that right it's

a well-known phenomenon who do you think

is stolen more intellectual property

Amazon or China because Amazon probably

has you know essentially given China

more opportunity to steal things than

all of the companies that are just doing

business in China

itself so um I did ask uh I sent a DM to

Senator Holly to ask if he can bring

Bezos in and ask him what he's going to

do about the fact that he's the primary

agent for the destruction of the

American

economy because he is and I don't think

that Bezos is a bad guy I think he wants

what's best for America he might not be

complet filled in on how bad it is he

might have been told that they have a

process so it's fine oh don't worry Jeff

we have a process they can just report

it and then we take it down but do they

tell him that that process doesn't work

for anybody do do you think he knows

that well he probably knows it now

because I made such a big stink about it

millions of people viewed it I think I

got three million views on one of them

one of the views came from Thomas Massie

who weighed in on this and said quote us

inventors get ripped off on Amazon too

oh it's worse than I thought Amazon

makes money on The Fakes and knockoffs

so they have no incentive to fix it yeah

that tracks that tracks uh it's clear to

me they should be legally liable for the

fraud they help perpetuate on the public

the authors and the

inventors right

however Thomas Massie this is not just a

fraud

case this is a homeland security issue

we're literally we've created a pipeline

to export our

entire small business economy that sells

things through the mail to

China so yes I'm very happy that you

wait in and he's he's right on top of it

but I'd love to get it out of the frame

that it's a fraud problem it is a fraud

problem it is a fraud problem but that's

not the thing I need fixed what I need

fixed is stop throwing away the

country stop transferring the

intellectual weight of America to

China that's that's what I need to

stop anyway Mark cubin weighed in

productively and he had a fairly long

list of suggested

fixes um I won't go into those because I

don't know enough to know if they're

exactly on point but they look it they

look at so here's a here's one of those

cases

where I always talk about the internet

dads when the election was on of course

people took sides and Mark cubin was on

a side that many of you were not on so

we didn't like that part but we also

understand politics as politics that's

not the real world when it comes to the

real world yes you want to Mark Cuban to

say how do you fix this thing and to

also observe that it needs

fixing and to get the conversation going

at a at a higher level so thank you Mark

cu

for a very productive um contribution to

the conversation now one of the things I

were I wondered about

is uh why can't they fix it by just

making the legitimate seller have the

authority to take down the

FES and if I take down a real one and

the real one complains and Amazon Amazon

says wait a minute this was real you

took down a real one it's just your

competitor well then I should be removed

from the system forever right I never be

allowed to sell on Amazon if even once I

report my competitor when in fact the

competitor is doing nothing wrong so I

would put that I would put the um the

ability to take

down a copyright or just other violation

I would put that on the the vendor and

then you could say you know all Amazon

is doing is is uh following instructions

they're not part of the wholesale

destruction of America

now there were number of other things

that Mark suggested they all worth

seeing if you want to check it out on X

um here's an update on the terrorists

boy did this

get I don't want to say

fun because these are horrible events

and people lost their lives

but well you'll you'll

see you'll see um here's what we know so

as of today and I'm going to tell you

what you know the official story is um

I'm still open to every other theory of

what's really happening so if you think

you know the FBI is really behind it or

you know whatever it is you think I'm

okay with that I'm not going to rule it

out but I do think the official story to

me is sounding like it it all works

there there's to me there's nothing

missing in the official story so far

that tells me oh this is this is an

outside plot but let's talk about those

things see if you disagree so some of

the things we know is a Christopher Ray

head of the FBI he warned us months ago

that there would be lone wolves inspired

by

ISIS and it turns out that as far as the

FBI can tell the New Orleans guy was a

lone wolf and there's no indication yet

that he was somewhat you know directly

an Isis fighter or something he just

seems inspired

by

now and so so so far there's no real

mystery there Ry told us would happen it

looks like it happened it's exactly like

he called it it's inspired by not

planned

by um but there are coincidences such as

they seem to have spent time at the same

base army base but they weren't there at

the same time and it's such a big army

base that some like onethird of all

soldiers go through it so there really

is no coincidence to the the base thing

it just means they were both in the

military now is somebody who is in the

military more likely to Stage a violent

attack I would think so if if you've

ever been involved in violently

attacking people I feel like it would be

an easier transition to violently attack

some more people if that's what your

philosophy said you do so I don't think

it's a big coincidence they're both

military so was Timothy

McVey um I don't think it's coincidence

they were at the same base and I also

don't think it was a coincidence that

happened on the same day because if you

did a survey and you said all right if

you were a if you were a terrorist and

you were looking for a big crowd to take

out and you wanted to get a lot of

attention where everybody's paying

attention what day of the year would you

pick I think you'd find

I know 40% of the people who answered

the question would say well the cameras

are rolling and everybody's watching on

New Year's Eve and you know that's the

first day of 2025 and we plan to kick

things up in

2025 so the one guaranteed time that

it's going to work is the first day and

I will go further and say if you had

planned a 2025

attack or or maybe you were just trying

to avoid Christmas it could be that they

both would have done it whenever they

were ready but they didn't want to ruin

Christmas because literally they I think

they both had families they didn't want

to ruin Christmas so there's nothing

really too coincidental about January

1st if it had been a random day like you

know March 13th a random day well that

would be a big coincidence but January 1

is probably the most likely Place

anybody would have picked if they had

bad intentions and wanted a big crowd

and a lot of attention so no no real

coin

and also the use of the same rental

company um as Tyrus pointed out on the

five the other day and I told you uh I

think I'm the first one to point it

out you you could fact check me on this

but I think I'm the first one in the

country to say that's not a

coincidence they're probably less

monitored by authorities so if you want

to get a big truck and you're in the

military and maybe you said some things

online about

Isis probably if you go to Herz or Avis

Homeland Security is already in the back

door and probably they hear about you in

the truck immediately I'm guessing and

by the way I'd be disappointed if that's

not true can you imagine if the CIA

doesn't have access to the rental

companies so they can tell who's getting

the panel truck and also has you know

some some issues with their online

accounts they better be looking for that

you know if they're in all of our other

stuff and we've lost our privacy if

they're not looking for the rental

companies as the the first place to look

for trouble they're not doing their job

they need to be looking at

that so I assume they are and I assume

that if you planned something that

required a truck you would use an app

because it's less likely that anybody's

in it and and the the automobiles in

this case are private people's cars so

the app hooks you up with a private

person who has a car that they want to

rent and you just pick it up wherever

you meet that private person

so none of those strike me as

coincidences

um then there's also the issue of oh

okay so in my in my view the the Las

Vegas guy was a mental

case but I know you're going to point

out Bo way Scot he's a py you know he's

made to look like a mental case but

really you know he was set up now the

evidence from being set

up um I haven't seen I haven't seen

evidence he was set up you can't rule it

out right can't rule it out but why

would the CIA want to do the worst or

somebody else why why would anybody want

to do the most pathetic

attack involving a cyber truck that's

the wrong tool and fireworks that are

the wrong

tool and it didn't hurt anybody and the

Las Vegas Trump Tower is not even owned

by Trump as far as I know I think that's

a licensed property I don't think Trump

owns that you by the way I could take a

fact check on that but I don't think he

even owns the building I think they that

it's a licensed property I

think

um

so here's the oh then other things that

are suspicious is that he loved Tesla

and he loved Trump because he loved the

Cyber Tru he was bragging to his

girlfriend about it now do people try to

hook up with a girlfriend and call them

and say the cybert Trek is awesome and

say they're going to Mexico and then all

of a sudden they kill themselves in

Vegas well here's what I think I think

he was heading to

Vegas not

Mexico uh at the very least he was going

through Vegas to get to Mexico because

he stopped accidentally it looks like at

a place called Las Vegas New Mexico like

he just told his told his truck to drive

there and then he didn't realize that he

was on the wrong route and then he went

to The Real Las Vegas so there's two

points that say he was really trying to

go to Las Vegas because he did it twice

once the wrong Las Vegas so he at least

wanted to Las

Vegas anyway so there's and then

allegedly used a 50 caliber gun to kill

himself uh which left no dental records

is that what happened did did he shoot

himself with such an aggressive weapon

that his teeth were

destroyed I I just saw an indication of

that but that doesn't exactly make sense

to me because I thought the I thought

the wound was on the top of his head I

don't know so I don't understand the

dental records part maybe you can fill

me in but if you were mentally ill and

planning to kill yourself would you try

to hook up with your ex before you died

because that's being treated as

suspicious H you know if you're bent on

dying are you going to try to hook up

with your ex well let me answer this as

a male yes yes you would absolutely try

to hook up with your ex before you died

if you're healthy and you're male and

you're horny why wouldn't

you so that's not weird that that's what

a mentally ill guy would do as long as

he was also

healthy and he had the knowledge to

create a better bomb but you just used

fireworks and gasoline which doesn't

look like a professional

act

however um fellow Named Sam shoemate was

on the Shan Ryan

podcast and I think I got this right

that so so Sam

shate runs an account where people give

him tips on stuff a lot of military

stuff because his background is

military and he was apparently contacted

ahead of the

event but he didn't know the event was

coming and

allegedly sorry allegedly the Las

Vegas um SL

terrorist wrote to him and told him that

he was trying to get attention for the

fact that the drones over New Jersey are

really

exotic um gravitic propulsion devices

that only China and the United States

have and China now has it and these and

these super Flying Saucer drones are

coming from offshore from Chinese

vessels and that's what's over New

Jersey and they have unlimited power and

they can destroy the entire East Coast

or any part of it without without being

harmed because they're their magical

technology and that uh it's game over

and China has complete control over

destroying the

country and he wanted to use

fireworks so that it made a big show of

things but clearly wasn't trying to

destroy the

building so does that make

sense does that sound real to

you well I definitely don't believe

there's any such thing as gravitic

propulsion

devices um somebody said are you kidding

Scott here here's a here's the patent so

there's going on the internet there's a

patent for the something like the

graphitic graphitic propulsion device I

don't believe that's a real

patent you just have to look at it and

say all right if you know a little bit

about patents you know that you're not

going to get a patent unless it's either

already built and you could demonstrate

that it works or it's something that a

person who is skilled in the field could

build somewhat EAS

so you don't have to have a

prototype if what you're describing is

something that anybody anybody could

build if they were in that

field um I don't see a way you could get

exotic propulsion

device uh patented unless you could show

you could build it or that somebody who

knew this field could build it and

there's nothing like that so now I'm not

going to do the research to find out

that that's a fake patent page it's

clearly

fake and and even if it did get patented

which I suppose is possible it's not

real couldn't possibly be

real so um I'm not buying that Laura

Laura Lan was pointing out that the

email is filled with media talking

points and smacks of a staged coverup

well that's true it it did seem to be

that he he had a lot of Kraken like

talking points so so the that we could

get the public talking about gravitic

propulsion devices in China instead of

maybe something else we should be paying

attention to you know we're always

worried about the

distractions um Erica our New

Jersey uh let's say uh journalist

independent journalist at least in this

case says the drones are still out in

New

Jersey so they were quiet over the

holidays but oh okay well the so the

photograph that um Erica just included

in the uh the locals feed you can't see

it if you're not on locals um showed

clearly an

aircraft because it's got the it's got

the aircraft

lights um so that would suggest it's at

least legally

operating um Scott you should see the

anti-gravity patents you don't have to

build it get a patent no I just said

that you don't have to build it to get a

patent as long as it's obvious that

somebody in that field could build it

that's the part that doesn't that's not

real if somebody in that field could

build it somebody would have already

built one you'd be riding in it right

now it couldn't possibly be

real anyway

um and I guess he repeatedly talked

about making it to Mexico which does not

track with the fact that he presumably

had plans to end himself before he got

to

Mexico but I wonder if maybe the plan

shifted it could be that maybe he

thought I'll just blow up this car and

then escape to Mexico that wouldn't make

sense because he wouldn't have a vehicle

so we don't know the Mexico part and as

Laura Logan points out that would kind

of suggest that he was set up um she

also points out that there were two

paper letters this survived the fire and

explosion of the car however I don't

think that's

unusual uh because the the vehicle was

not completely destroyed right so

depending on where the letters were

let's say if they were in the glove

Department the glove

compartment would they have been burned

up I don't know so yes it's a head

scratcher how two pieces of paper could

survive a

carire but

it's not impossible because the Cyber

truck had you know good walls of

protection

um and then there's also the claim from

n NBC news that he used an exotic

explosive

compound wait is this the same guy no

this is the other

guy um so the New Orleans guy used an

exotic compounds that makes it look like

hey where do he learn that but uh I keep

conflating the two attacks but that's a

separate

one anyway here's

a so so my take so far I'll give you my

tentative take uh the coincidences are

largely explained Away by ordinary

life they don't seem to be coordinated

with each other one of them appears to

have been mentally ill from

PTSD uh that seems well I think pretty

well likely and the other one seems

inspired by ISIS but not maybe part of a

larger wave of attacks so remember when

every one of us were we were so sure

when the attacks happened that this is

the beginning of al-qaeda's wave of

attacks because we saw Shan Ryan

interview Sarah Adams which by the way

because we live in a simulation is the

name of my old cat I had a cat named

Sarah who I called Sarah Adams so but

they're different people this is

actually a human so the human has high

credibility people are saying very high

credibility um I've confirmed that her

credibility is impeccable because it

turns out she follows me on X and I'm

like that's really all you need to know

that's impeccable impeccable logic and

she's definitely on the right path

anyway so her take was that uh there's

going to be a massive wave of attacks in

the United States and we all thought

that that was the beginning of it it

doesn't look like it it it looks like

these were two random attacks that just

naturally fell on the same day because

it was a good day to

attack so um now if you're just joining

the stream let me remind you I do not

have certainty about any of it I don't

have certainty on any of the facts have

that have so far been reported and I

definitely don't have a certainty that

there's not some larger clever plot and

he's he's a py or any of that stuff I

don't I don't know but so far these look

like ordinary cases ordinary

meaning somebody was inspired by ISIS

you know he had he had the name he had

the

background and the other one he just had

PTSD and maybe he changed his plans in

the middle and maybe he was half decided

whether he was going to kill himself

versus whether he was going to try to

get away and then maybe at the last

minute you said you know I'm never going

to get away with it I might as well just

do it now now people asked how do you

shoot

yourself after the explosion because he

set off the

explosives but still managed to shoot

himself like how do you get the timing

right and my answer is you just do them

at the same time I imagine the explosive

took a

moment to you know to detonate there's

probably a

fuse there some he probably threw some

you know threw a flame back there and

maybe the gap qu on First and the

fireworks are second so he probably had

at least one second to pull the trigger

KN you think if you did them

simultaneously there's probably a little

bit of delay before the fire turns into

an explosion plenty of time I don't

think that's I don't think that's weird

at

all

and it's also

possible yeah no

it it may be that he was just going to

do the gun in case he got burned and

didn't die and then he thought you know

I might as well just not feel any pain

so we'll see Joy Reed over at

MSNBC and her her guest Charles

blow yeah that's his actual name um

there they're talking about the real

danger of being a white

man and they think think that things are

overblown because it because one of them

was

brown uh but she wants to know the the

really big problem is uh young white men

in America we need to look at our

domestic

terrorism

well I don't

disagree that there have been you know

white American men who did some you know

mass shootings that certainly happened

but I don't see it as the same level of

risk because you're really assuming

you're really Imagining the future if

you're talking about risk you're not

talking about the past because that's

done the past it might have been true

there were periods where the you know

somebody who called himself a a white

supremacist did more damage than a

terrorist for any given six-month period

or a year whatever but there's no way

these are the same level of

risk you know whatever happens from

individuals is going to be you know one

terrible act that probably had multiple

deaths but if you're being attacked with

waves of attack you know maybe a, or

1500 terrorists who were in the country

who are going to die trying that's a

whole different deal I mean that's

really different so so MSNBC continues

to be a

joke um if you're not following on X the

account of Shan Ono Lenin I recommend it

he's very interesting now what's

interesting is that you really can't

tell if he's democrat or

republican by watching his account and I

love that because he weighs it on a lot

of topics that are in the news but you

really can't tell and the reason you

can't tell is because he just takes a

common sense approach to things that we

normally just take the hyper partisan

approach to so he is very good at just

being

interesting and not giving away bias

just telling you what the thing looks

like so he had this comment today he

said I think overall people are less

easily fooled now than they were in the

past part of the disintegration of

cohesive Society is a result of this

Awakening I really hope it leads

somewhere good I worry that it won't so

he's

noticing that people are learning to be

less easily fooled do you agree with

that people are learning to be less

easily

fooled he's half right it's only

happening on one side and the people who

make an effort to see what the other

side is saying so somebody like Elon

Musk is watching both

arguments and so he decided to kind of

change teams because he saw both both

arguments and he he's the kind of person

who can you know figure out what the

fake stuff is I would argue that

something happened on the conservative

side of politics that did not happen or

even close on the Democrat side

and that is that there were people like

me and I could name 10 other people who

are going out of their way to debunk

fake news on the other side but also to

teach you the tools for doing it

yourself which is what I do I try to

teach you all right for example I say if

the news only has one um One Source and

it's an anonymous source you should

treat that as zero credibility now

that's not what people would have done

automatically most people would said

well it's not proven but they got that

one source and of course they want to be

anonymous why wouldn't they so yeah

that's pretty credible no the answer is

nothing there has no credibility it's

almost it's almost impossible that

that's going to be true so that's the

sort of thing that you have to learn

because because it's opposite of Common

Sense your common sense says well you

know they wouldn't report it if it

wasn't at least possibly true

so you have to get past they wouldn't

say it if it were fake and you have to

get past well I think some of the news

is real no no not any of the political

news it's all framed you know it might

be true facts but it's usually framed in

a way that's

misleading um so in my opinion the

Democrats were the hoax and fake news

creating entity and in response

because there's always a response the

the conservatives built up a resource

that the left doesn't have and that

resource is a bunch of people that you

can immediately go to to find out what's

true all right let me ask you this how

many of you have seen a headline story

and one of the first questions you asked

about it was what does Adam say about

this but not just me you probably said

okay what does cernovich say about this

if it's it's a legal thing I say what

does durood say about it what do what

does turle say about it I know exactly

where to go to find the fake news if if

it's a technology

thing like I I'll look I'll look for the

smartest technology people I'll look for

Mark Andre if it's a technology thing to

find out if it's true I'll look for

bellagi sh nasan I'll look for uh nval

ravikant so and of course Elon Musk so

we've veloped we collectively have

developed on the right this this BS

snipping system which is quite wild I

don't it's never existed before as far

as I know and that's different and they

can't match it if they matched it they

would disintegrate because then their

base would realize that the main things

are being told are fake so if they teach

their base how to spot

fakes the the entire operation falls

apart because it's mostly ba built on

fake

news so that's

funny so again Sean Ono lennin good

follow I recommend it highly and uh I

like that he noticed I like that he

noticed that people are less easily

fooled but I think that's because He

follows both sides see if you follow

both sides then you learn how to spot

the fakes so he's probably picked it up

just from people he follows on the

right

um at the let's see this is John no

who's reporting that the 2024 domestic

box office is

down um 24% since five years ago now

there's a comparison thing I'm not sure

how the pandemic Works in there but it's

even down this year a little bit just a

few percent from what it was last year

and

I just want to weigh in on this now a

lot the smart people said it's not the

pandemic it's it's not anything it's

just the movies are bad that's what I

think I think just the movies are bad

but on top of

that I don't even think of movies as

something that people watch

anymore what there are very few movies

that you're going to want to W spend two

hours on very rarely so when I think of

things I would want to spend spend time

on I just don't even think of a movie

anymore because I know I'm not going to

like it and my attention span like yours

is so shorten now that I like uh I can

go through a thousand reals you know the

little Quick videos and every one of

them will entertain me because they you

know the algorithm makes sure that and

I'm absolutely totally entertained and I

can stop whenever I want to go do

something else I don't have to drive

somewhere and buy bad popcorn and sit

there for 2 and a half hours and wish I

were closer to a

restroom yeah so I don't see how movies

really survive in the

future speaking of

surviving um Ukraine now has these

miniature missiles to knock down drones

I guess they were made in Estonia if you

didn't know this Estonia is a wildly

successful little country did you know

that I I have a a friend who's Estonian

who I think at one point he was probably

the richest person in Estonia because he

he uh was one of the adventures of uh

uh what is the before Zoom there

was the thing before Zoom

um so Estonia the estonians are really

high-tech uh they've got they've got a a

real good little high-tech situation

going there one of the things they do in

Estonia is that you can vote by

app Don't how many times have you said

to yourself why why can't we vote by an

app like why seems like that would be

obvious the most obvious thing

especially if your app does a a face

recognition if I if I vote on my phone

and I use facial recognition to make my

app take the vote I'm going to feel

pretty good that that vote got

registered properly so Estonia is

already doing it so you don't have to

wonder if it works they seem happy with

it but they've also made this little

miniature rocket and I think it uses AI

which is what's new and interesting

about it but it goes really high uh so

it can so we can get even the high

drones so it looks like the the missil

is maybe just a foot tall and not very

wide and I need one of those for home is

there any way I can get an AI anti-d

drone missile for home I'll put it on my

roof no all right well speaking of the

algorithm uh yanas says that the X

algorithm is going to be tweaked

soon um to promote more informational

entertaining content and he says I like

how he puts this this is a great framing

for the the objective our goal is to

maximize

that is the most human friendly way to

say what you're

doing what I would hate is to say he's

just trying to get his you know usage

minutes

up um or I would hate if he said we're

trying to tell the truth you know we

only tell the truth you know nobody

nobody thinks the truth is coming

through social

media but he says it in the the most

perfect way he wants to maximize

have you ever spent a bunch of time on

social media and said ah God I wish I

didn't do that like it just gave me a

headache and I feel bad now I'm scared

of everything you have right those are

regretted minutes he's trying to

maximize

unregrettably what it is and this is

such a good frame

um there's a report in axios that Biden

and his and his uh advisers had a

meeting not too long ago about uh

possibility of striking Iran's nuclear

sites before January 20th and Trump is

sworn

in now here's what you need to know

about this kind of

story if the government is doing its job

and the military is doing its job they

should always be talking about this kind

of stuff it doesn't mean it's going to

happen

but yes I want my president meeting with

the military and I want the military to

say it's not the only thing we can do

but if you decided to go this way this

is what we could do yeah I want I want

that meeting every week it it shouldn't

be news that they had a meeting and they

discussed one of the most obvious paths

and apparently there's there's no energy

to do it so they had the meeting they

heard the

Alternatives they decided collectively

apparently with not a lot of

disagreement I I would guess that

they're not going to do

it I I I feel like that article was

written as sort of a a dis on Biden

that's not a diss TR every time this

story is about Trump trump held a

meeting to see if he can I don't know

nuke a hurricane and then people said oh

no no it's crazy no I want that meeting

I don't think was a meeting I think it

was just an offhand comment you made

once but I want that I I want him to ask

the question well do we have the

technology to Nuke it and it's fine if

the answer is no that's crazy there's no

way that could work we couldn't control

the there's no way you could control the

radiation okay but do I like that he ask

the question yes yes I want I want my

leader to be asking the question not

just of the obvious stuff but I want him

to ask the non-obvious stuff that was a

non-obvious question I like it and and

if if the only thing it does is make you

think deeper about other possibilities

that are possible so suppose suppose the

answer was no that's crazy we're not

going to use a nuke to stop a hurricane

but what if then the person you asked

said but I do have an

idea suppose you did this here's an idea

that would actually work to reduce

hurricanes you would uh you you greenify

Northern Africa which can't be done so

basically you just let your animals

essentially the way you green a desert

area is you have animals in the part

that's still got enough green that they

can eat and then the the cows will or

whatever livestock they eat what's there

and then sometimes they wander to the

edge of the area and poop and then that

creates collectively some place where

more things are going to grow and then

just the cows wandering around and

eating and pooping will make your

Greenery just extend into the into the

desert so suppose that Trump ask the

question that's completely impractical

nuking a hurricane but the person asks

is you know uh I've heard this other

idea and then you have the conversation

well is that

practical is there any way we could in a

coste effective way reduce hurricanes

just by

you know emphasizing The Greening

because The Greening here's why that

works the Northern Africa is where it

gets super hot and then that heat is

what drives the Hurricanes you have the

heat differential basically so if you

reduce the differential

Heat by making just the desert less hot

it should take some steam off the

hurricanes and that's maybe doable so

I'm always in favor of asking the bad

question should we nuke a hurricane cuz

then every then that opens up everybody

to all the other possibilities and maybe

there's one you hadn't talked about yet

that's good technique I like it in Biden

and I like it in Trump so that's two a

pluses

um and I think that's everything I

wanted to say today so I remind you that

Owen gregorian's going to do a spaces

after we're done so he's been doing that

on Saturdays after the show people seem

to like it it was well attended so look

for that uh probably just a few minutes

after we're done it's on Spaces on

X

um and you watched three movies in three

days you had nothing better to do than

that did you also

exercise because if you watch movies and

you didn't exercise that

day you need to rethink that

all the AI invasion is coordinated with

a writer strike

interesting

um all right let me just look at your

comments here for a

moment uh Dilbert

assumption SC Not About best idea of the

year uh LA

Times oh I could probably get I could

get Dilbert back in some newspapers yeah

I just don't want Dilbert in newspapers

anymore because newspapers are just a

dying industry there's no point I could

get a few newspapers but they don't pay

much individually it wouldn't make any

difference to my

income so even if I got a few big papers

like hypothetically that what was

mentioned was the LA Times so even if

the LA Times said you know we're trying

to be different than we were and we'll

take you back that would be

like $100 a month did you know that that

That's how little they pay for cartoons

it's like a $100 a month so uh if you

have 2,000 of

them and they all pay different rates

depending on the size um then you're

making real money but to get one or two

papers to take dilbra back wouldn't make

any difference at all it's there's no

income involved with

that yeah I'd have to start censoring

myself again don't want

that all right um since Owen's going to

do as spaces you'll have some time to

chat with each other um I think I'll end

this and maybe just say hi quickly to

the locals people but everybody on X and

Rumble and YouTube thanks for joining

and YouTube is going to probably

demonetize me because they do every once

in a while and we don't know why I think

twice recently for no obvious reason

um so just know that all right locals

coming at you

privately
