View segment →Good morning. Hold on. All right. All right.
I've got a few minutes here to say good morning and have a quick simultaneous sip of whatever it is you're sipping. I thought I would try checking the news while you're joining me. Come on in. Join me.
Looks like the Locals people are here first, as they should be. Damn it. I didn't check my voice before I started talking. Top 50. Good morning.
No, no brown shoes are identified. That is a weird story, isn't it? So we don't know what's going on there, do we? I usually don't do the stories about individual murders.
No hospital coffee. Well, I will have some beverages in half an hour. When you're in the hospital and you have nothing to do except sleep, I just take naps, you know, hour naps all day. And then I play on my computer or my phone.
So happy to see me. Oh, good. Things aren't going so well here medically. I have to be honest, but you never know. Could be a miracle. Yeah. Yeah.
And it was that nuclear physicist. You're praying for me. Thank you. I've got one more radiation treatment today, but so far it doesn't look like it's making any difference. But I do enjoy the ambulance ride to the radiation center, and after that I'll do some Pluvicto treatments. But it looks like the odds are against me.
So what I thought I would do is catch up on the news while you're coming in and joining me. You want to do that? Let's see. We've got a thousand people here. So I'm using my laptop now, which frees up my phone. So I can check some stories on my phone, see if there's something to talk about.
Did you know that Trump put a blockade on the Venezuelan oil tankers? And apparently he has some kind of justification for that. Did you know that Venezuela nationalized a bunch of U.S. assets back in the past? And so I think that's Trump's rationalization. It's like, you nationalized our assets, we're going to take them back. But I guess Chevron has some kind of special deal where they can still do oil.
So I'm definitely wondering what is the real story about Venezuela. I don't feel like we know. Do you? I mean, it's a little bit about drugs, but not completely. It's a little bit about the Monroe Doctrine. Maybe that's more of it. Maybe it's about just somebody making money, but it might be a combination of all those things.
Hey, Sergio. Good morning. Well, yeah, they obviously would like regime change, but to what end? Because the current regime has already said we'll give you whatever you want basically. It's not like we're negotiating with them. So yeah, they definitely want regime change, but we don't know to what end because probably there's a lot of countries we'd like to regime change.
You think it's a Kraken? That's entirely possible. It's entirely possible that the only way Trump can prove that 2024 was stolen or 2020 was stolen is by getting control of the Venezuelan government. Maybe it's to move China, Russia, and Iran out. Well, that would be the obvious reason. That would be the Monroe Doctrine reason. But it does seem like he could get that through negotiating. What do you think?
Will SpaceX be bigger than Tesla? Yes. The thing with SpaceX is there's no limit to how big that can get.
Says he stole the election. Maybe.
All right. Is anybody following the Candace and Erica story? So I've been trying to ignore the Candace story because it felt a little gossipy and didn't really seem like big news. But the part that caught my attention just sort of in a gossipy way is apparently Candace has a hypothesis that the Egyptian government has two of its official state planes that have somehow intersected with the travels of Erica Kirk like 70 times, and that it would be statistically impossible for that to be an accident.
Now, she doesn't go beyond that to say what it is that Egypt or Erica were up to, but she does say, well, isn't that interesting? Isn't that interesting? Yeah, we presume it would be about Israel just because the Middle East is involved. But so Ian Carroll has also been covering the plane paths. Well, I saw this morning somebody say that the data was fake and I don't know. There's no way to know.
I'm going to say I don't think there's anything to that one because even if Egypt had some kind of interest in Erica, I don't think that they would use their presidential planes and intersect with her 70 times. Now Megyn Kelly got in the middle of it. Oh, they're registered as Egyptian. That might be different.
Well, I'm going to go on record as saying I doubt there's anything to it. The Egypt planes are a scam. Yeah, I suspect there's nothing there. That's my guess.
So let's catch up with the Rob Reiner story. Are you sick of that yet? That one is kind of deeper than I thought it would be. Tucker said it's true. What part is true? The planes. Kiko the Great has a story about that. Do you really think that this one's worth digging into the airplane story?
We're just super chats. No, they're using her Candace to make us all look crazy. Maybe. Maybe.
So I think I've given you my opinion, but here's some things that I've recently realized. So now we hear that the Reiners were planning to have dinner with the Obamas that very night. Do you believe that? Do you believe that by coincidence the Reiners were going to have dinner with the Obamas that very night, the night they were killed? Well, they do have a lot of famous friends, so that that's possible.
But now that you know that they were that close with the Obamas, did you know that they were, at least Rob Reiner was close with I think five different heads of the CIA? So there was, or at least intelligence people. So he did a piece about the Russia collusion in which he was trying to sell Russia collusion to the public, and he did that with a Brennan and Clapper high-production thing.
Now, do you think that when Rob Reiner did that video with Brennan and Clapper accusing Trump of being a Russian puppet, do you think he knew that wasn't true? Because there's some possibility he didn't know and that he put all that effort and personal capital into it without knowing.
He was also very good friends with Norm Eisen, and if you don't know who Norm Eisen is then you don't know what happened in our country for the last several years. So Norm Eisen is the architect of all the lawfare against Trump. Pretty much all of it, you know, from the Russia collusion. So you got the Obamas, good friends. You got Norm Eisen, good friends. You've got Stephen King, who he worked with for years and made many movies together. Yeah, Larry David. I always wondered why Larry David was so weird about Trump, but maybe that's part of it, that connection. And who else was he? Yeah.
So basically Rob Reiner was connected with the power apparatus in the Democratic Party. So that explains a lot. I don't know about George Clooney. Was there any connection between Clooney and Reiner aside from the fact that they're both famous and they probably knew each other? Yeah.
So I posted this morning a video of Rob Reiner and his wife in some interview talking about Trump. Yeah. Stephen King, they were good friends that worked together. And look at Rob Reiner when he's talking about Trump. When he's saying things that we all know to be true, his eyes are open. But when he goes into fiction, you know, the part where Trump is Hitler and he's working with Putin and all that, he closes his eyes like he's imagining it and then talking about what he's imagining. You have to watch it. Once you see it, you can't unsee it.
So here's a question I have. Why did Rob Reiner treat the anti-Trump stuff like it was his job? I don't think he was doing it for money, but he didn't do it like he was just a concerned citizen. Would you agree? The amount of organization and effort, and he was part of a club and they were all after him. It very much looked like something bigger than just his political opinion. And it's hard for me to believe that he believed the stuff he was saying. You think it was his job? Well, he didn't need the money. He was probably worth hundreds of millions.
Well, anyway, I saw the video where his wife Michelle was literally calling MAGA supporters essentially the same as Hitler's supporters. So if somebody has that much political power as the Reiners did, because it wasn't just what they said in public, it was their work behind the scenes and organizing the anti-Trump stuff, if you have that much political power and you demonize a group of people of which I am a part, at what point can I say bad things about my mortal enemy? Because the Reiners would have been very, let's say, not happy with me.
Do you think that they had a completely innocent opinion of Trump supporters? No. No. They had a very negative opinion of people like me. Not me personally. He never mentioned me personally. But if somebody goes on TV and they're a prominent person and they accuse you of being essentially no better than a Hitler supporter, how polite are you supposed to be when something bad happens to them?
I feel like this whole theatrical thing where you have to say, "Oh my God, even though they disagree with you, it's the worst thing in the world because of the family and all that." To which I say, you wouldn't say that if Ben Laden got shot. He would also be my mortal enemy.
I did see James Woods say that he was pro-Reiner because he helped him with his career and he was a nice guy. And that's fine. If Reiner had helped me in my career when I needed it the most and he had been my good friend for years, I'd say the same thing that James Woods did.
But here's the thing that I summarize that with. Don't you think everybody has the right to their own opinion about him? Don't you think that if you're James Woods and even though Reiner disagreed with him, they had a very close relationship in person, don't you think it's fine for James Woods to have a positive opinion? Of course. Why would I disagree with that?
But likewise, if Reiner had tried to get you kicked out of the presidency, overthrow the country, and put you in jail, literally put you in jail, which is what he was trying to do with Trump, don't you think Trump has an absolute right to have any opinion he wants about that? And do you and I have any obligation to agree with James Woods' perfectly reasonable opinion or to agree with Trump's perfectly reasonable opinion?
Now, some would say, but it's not his opinion that's the problem. They would say it's the fact that he said it when the situation was fresh. Again, that's up to Trump. It is his personal opinion and he can say it anytime he wants, and I would rather know his actual opinion than some fake opinion that controls the past. Yeah.
So I am completely supportive of anybody who had a pro or negative opinion and whenever they expressed it. I think that Reiner made himself a public figure on this topic. So if the public talks about this topic, that would be fair.
You know what I haven't missed? Yeah. Weirdly, because they give me such good painkillers and stuff that I've not once thought, I wish I had some weed. Isn't that weird? You'd think I would.
So this morning I will be going back to get the last of my five planned radiation treatments. So far there's no positive benefit coming from it and we're not actually expecting any. But I've got two doctors who disagree. So one doctor says if it's gotten worse, which it has, while you're doing the radiation, the radiation won't work. And one says, well, you have to wait a couple weeks. And the scans show that you still had some function before we started the radiation. So there's a 50% chance that there'll be some benefit. Not a complete recovery or anything like that, but 50% chance I might get feeling back in my legs because right now I don't have any feeling below the waist.
So I am completely at their mercy. If possible, put on protective gear. Here's your radioactive. No, but if they were pregnant, I believe they could not be around me. I think that's true. And I might go home maybe tomorrow, but I can't go home unless I have a full set of like hospital gear to move me around and I've got some people to take care of me when I need basically everything. All I really have is my upper body. So I'm like half a person right now. The bottom half has to be managed by other people with all that implies. The pain is not so bad because they're good at managing it.
So this morning I woke up in intense pain in my shoulder area, which is not unusual, but they had the painkiller in me in two minutes and then I was fine.
What reframe am I using? Well, I think I need to work harder on a reframe. Is it affecting me financially? Yes and no. Yes and no. I'm going to see if later today or maybe tomorrow I can start posting comics again. But interestingly, my Locals subscribers have stayed loyal and my streaming revenue is probably, I might even be up. I don't know. So but it will affect me. Yeah. Yeah.
There's a Bill Hader story. How would you like to meet Bill Hader who was apparently a celebrity at Conan O'Brien's party where that Nick Reiner was, and I guess something weird happened between Hader and Nick Reiner and caused, I think Nick was kicked out of the party. But how would you like to be the last person to talk to him before he went crazy? I guess he was crazy.
No rush. They say cancer affects every patient financially. Well, yeah. I mean, if I stayed alive and stayed with cancer that would stop me from working, but I had to spend a million dollars a year just paying somebody to take care of me. That would affect me financially.
But I will say again about the Reiners, as far as I can tell, they did everything you can do as a parent of an addicted, mentally ill kid. So I do not fault them for their parenting. However, if we were to find out that there was something else weird going on there, I would immediately revise my opinion. There are some disturbing hints of what that must have been like to be in the Reiner family, but they're not any kind of confirmed anything. It just sounds like Hollywood stuff.
Like one of the things is that Rob Reiner would kiss his son on the lips. Well, that might be more of a Hollywood thing than it is any other kind of thing. I'm not sure I would judge that. That's not the most unusual thing. It is unusual, but by itself it doesn't prove anything. Yeah, it definitely not something I would have experienced. Yeah.
So Trump has designated fentanyl a weapon of mass destruction. I hope I was maybe part of that, but I don't really think he needed to do that. I think it's just part of the overall squeezing of Venezuela.
All right, I'm going to look at some, I'm going to go to X and look at my own feed or maybe at, you know what, I'm going to look at Owen's feed. I've got weird hiccups I get all the time now. All right, if you want to follow along, I'm going to Owen Gregorian's feed. And the reason I do that is every morning before I do my thing, Owen finds some interesting stories that I might be interested in talking about. He does a really good job of finding interesting stories.
So 17 hours ago Owen says that his own retired mother is on a list of people who donated almost every week to politics, I assume to a Democrat, but of course that's not real. So it looks like his own mother is in that fake donation Democrat scam thing. I should invite you over for bocce.
All right. Then Owen says, so this is Owen Gregorian's feed on X. And the reason I'm, if you're just joining, the reason I'm reading his is he intentionally picks stories that he thinks I would like or this audience would like. So it's not random.
Well, apparently there's some data that the payroll rose by 64,000 in November after falling 105,000 in October. But if you have been following the jobs numbers, I would say we don't really know what's happening with jobs. Do you believe any data on jobs? I would say wait on that. I don't believe that. I don't think anybody's lying. I think that we just don't have good data on jobs.
Well, then there's some data on tariff revenue and the CBP says it collected over 200 billion in tariff revenue so far and that would be only a partial, well it was almost end of the year. 200 billion. Do you think that's real? And is that really just another form of taxation? You decide. But it's a big number.
Did you know that the GOP is poised to overtake the Democrats on voter rolls? So it looks like it already happened in the key swing states after years of Democrat dominance. This is according to Alec Schmel and Fox News. Democrats are now a minority in apparently a number of swing states, which would be the whole game unless the election is rigged. How many of you think the election will be rigged? I don't know. I think the Republicans are now wise enough that they know where to check. So they're definitely going to be looking at the voting machines.
In Chicago, there's a Hispanic restaurant owner who is suing because he was told he can't have a restaurant unless he's black. So he couldn't renew his license and they told him it's because he's not black. Do you believe that in Chicago? There might be more to that story. I'd have to hear the other side of that, but it'd be pretty bad if it's true.
Marco Rubio is ruling out a 2028 run if JD Vance decides to run. Oh, I guess he said it directly. If JD Vance runs, he's going to be the nominee. Huh. That's interesting.
I guess troops have been fired over Biden's COVID vaccine. Oh, the ones that were fired over the Biden mandate are going to get an honorable discharge. They must have not gotten honorable discharges before. All right. Well, that's a good move by Hegseth.
Some European geopolitical analysts were sanctioned for claiming Ukraine and NATO triggered the Russian reaction and the war. Well, yeah, I can see why they get in trouble for that. Rubio continues to impress. I would agree. I think Rubio's done a solid job. Yep.
And you talk to Susie while you know I haven't seen what Susie Wiles is accused of saying. I keep seeing stories that like CNN where they say stuff like we can't believe what Susie Wiles said, but I don't know what the story is. Let me see if I can find it. Susie Wiles.
So shares a candid view. All right, let's see. Whoa, there's no way she said that. So according to Grok, Wiles, the first woman in a role as a veteran Trump campaign manager, described President Trump as having quote "an alcoholic's personality, overconfident, and fearless, like her late father, Pat Summerall." What? Susie Wiles' late father was Pat Summerall? I didn't know that.
Although Trump doesn't drink, she labeled Vance a former conspiracy theorist. She called Elon Musk an odd duck who sleeps in a sleeping bag at work and pointed critiques of big policy debates on tariffs, Spartans and Venezuela.
Now, you have to know that this isn't Vanity Fair. Why in the world would she do an interview for Vanity Fair? You know, Vanity Fair is where you avoid interviews, right? That's not some place you go to give an interview, but apparently there's a big extended thing. So it sounds like they did the embed. I've told you this trick before. If you're ever in a situation where a major publication says, we want a reporter to spend the day with you, you know, spend the whole day and we're going to do a big feature piece, that's always a hit piece. Always a hit piece. They do not spend the day with you to find out all the cool good things you do. That is not the point. They're looking for mistakes. They're looking for you to let your guard down so they can really hit you. Yeah.
I would consider Vanity Fair a trash publication. So I don't know what she did or did not say, but I would say for sure you should not trust it.
So Elon Musk is going to fund GOP candidates for the midterms. That sounds positive. Europe is praising Trump's truly remarkable Ukrainian peace efforts according to the European Conservative. Well, it's not getting anything. So I would agree it's a nice try.
Okay. Let's see. Zelensky plays down hopes of peace by Christmas. Yeah, I think you can play down hopes of peace by Christmas. Yeah, I don't think that's going to happen.
All right. Oh my God. Is there a question that Kamala Harris wants to run for president again? Is that real? This is unbelievable. According to what publication is this? The Blaze. So according to The Blaze, Harris wants to run for president again. Maybe. Oh, do some Democrats believe she's taking steps in that direction? That could be just for attention. She was signaling to competitors that she may run again. I'm not buying it yet. Yeah, she might be teasing it to sell her book. We don't know it all.
Boy, is Tim Walz the weirdest, weakest candidate you've ever seen in your life? That guy just seems corrupt from top to bottom. Somebody wrote an article about in the Guardian I spent a month trying to smile like Zelensky and Meloni. That's funny.
I'm going to have to close down pretty soon because the lunch or the breakfast will be coming and then I won't be able to livestream. The mood-enhancing benefits of caffeine are strongest right after waking up. Recent study shows. Doesn't surprise me at all.
And I haven't been following the Tina Peters story, but it does sound like she got locked up for exposing rigging in the election. Is that the story? Did Tina Peters get locked up under sort of trumped-up charges, no pun intended, because she tried to expose the rigging of the election? And now Trump is going hard trying to get her out, I guess. Wants or did he want to transfer to a federal place so he'd have more control? I haven't been following that enough.
Something about mitochondria. Let's see. The MRC. Wikipedia has been converted into one of the left. Yeah. While we know Wikipedia is a left-leaning entity, there's a mindset that's now proven to slow aging. Really, I assume it's positivity. Let me see what that mindset is. The topic has been studied for decades. Lighting the touch paper. Wow, this I hate it when they tease something and then you have to read like 50 pages to get to what it is they're teasing. Someone's beliefs could predict their overall risk of death. But yeah, so yeah, people who have a rosier view of aging live longer. Come on, everybody knew that. Apparently positivity makes you live longer. Not in my case.
Apple News shows only one right-leaning outlet out of 560 articles throughout November. Only one. There was only one right-leaning article on Apple News.
How do women detect deception in dating? Well, that's not hard. What concerned women for America think that Netflix is grooming young kids? Well, I don't know about that, but I always think they don't know intention versus outcome. It might be the outcome, but I doubt they woke up with that intention. Maybe. What do you think? Do you think that executives at Netflix had an intention of grooming children? That's quite a claim. I'm no mind reader.
All right. Minnesota completely corrupt, of course. All right. More criticism of the news. A Chinese billionaire has over a hundred American citizen children. What? There's a Chinese billionaire who has over 100 American citizen children. He fathers over 100 U.S. and they're raised legally. Oh, raising legal and security concerns. What? So there's a billionaire Chinese video game executive, Zubo, who has fathered over a hundred children in the U.S. Huh. Wow. Wow. Really? Several of his kids were raised by nannies. Wow.
You know, I always wondered about that. If you were a billionaire, why would you ever stop having children? You know, as long as they had a good support system. You had 43 kids by 10 women. Your son-in-law's grandfather. Wow. Neuralink trip. Yeah, I might need one any day now.
All right, what else we got going on here? There are fewer online trolls than people think. According to Pew, so Americans overestimate online toxicity, believing 43% of Reddit users when only 3% are the toxic ones. Well, I don't know. I always wondered about that. I don't think that my online experience looks like 43% trolls. Looks more like 3%.
Stem cell treatment in Ukraine. You make trolls block you. Yeah. How do you define toxic? Toxic would be disagrees with me.
The Clintons missed their deposition. So can they be arrested now? Is that how it works? I think the Clintons are just never going to agree with anything. By the way, one of the more interesting, got company.
All right, people. I've got company. Come in. Come in. This should be my breakfast being delivered. So I won't eat in front of you. And I'm going to say bye for now. I will check back in. But everybody, hope you have a great day and it was a pleasure spending time with you again. I think they're here. Yeah.
All right, I'm going to end the stream. Bye for now.
test.
I'll try talking.
Let's see if that works.
Good morning.
Hold on.
All right.
All right.
I got a few minutes here to say good morning and have a quick simultaneous sip of whatever it is you're sipping.
I thought I would uh try checking the news while you're joining me.
Come on in.
Join me.
Looks like the uh locals people are here first and should be.
Damn it.
I didn't check my voice before I started talking.
Top 50.
Good morning.
No, no brown shoes are identified.
That is a weird story, isn't it?
So, we don't know what's going on there, do we?
I usually don't do the uh the stories about individual murders.
No hospital coffee.
Well, I will have some beverages in half an hour.
Well, when you're in the hospital and you have nothing to do except um sleep, I I just take naps, you know, hour naps all day.
And then I play on my computer or my phone.
So happy to see me.
Oh, good.
Things aren't going so well here medically.
I have to be honest, but you never know.
Could be a miracle.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And it was that nuclear physicist.
Mhm.
You're praying for me.
Thank you.
I've got one more radiation treatment today, but so far it doesn't look like it's making any difference.
So, but I do enjoy the uh the ambulance ride to the radiation center and after that I'll do some radiation rides to the pluicto center.
But looks like the odds are against me.
So, what I thought I would do is uh catch up on the news while you're coming in and joining me.
You want to do that?
Let's see.
We've got uh got a thousand people here.
So, I'm using my laptop now, which frees up my phone.
So, I can uh check some stories on my phone, see if there's something to talk about.
Did you know that Trump uh put a blockade on the Venezuelan oil tankers?
And apparently he has some kind of justification for that.
Did you know that Venezuela um nationalized a bunch of US assets back in the past?
And so I think that's Trump's uh rationalization.
It's like, oh, you took our you nationalized our assets.
We're going to take them back.
But I guess uh Chevron has some kind of special deal where they can still do oil.
So, I'm definitely wondering what is the real story about Venezuela?
I don't feel like we know.
Do you?
I mean, it's a little bit about drugs, but not completely.
It's a little bit about the Monroe Doctrine.
Maybe that's more more of it.
Maybe it's about just somebody making money, but it might be a combination of all those things.
Hey, Sergio.
Good morning.
Well, yeah, they obviously would like regime change, but to what end?
because the current regime has already said we'll give you whatever you want basically.
It's not like we're negotiating with them.
So yeah, they definitely want regime change, but we don't know to what end because probably there's a lot of countries we'd like to regime change.
You think it's a Kraken?
That's entirely possible.
It's entirely possible that the only way Trump can prove that 2024 was stolen or 2020 was stolen is by getting control of the Venezuelan government.
Maybe it's for move China, Russia, and Iran.
Well, that would be the Yeah, that would be the obvious reason.
That would be the Monroe Doctrine reason.
But it does seem like he could get that through negotiating.
What do you think?
Will Tesla Will Space X be bigger than Tesla?
Yes.
The The thing with SpaceX is there's no limit how big that can get.
Says he stole the election.
Maybe.
All right.
Is anybody following the uh Candace and uh Erica and Erica story?
So, I've been trying to ignore the Candace story because it felt Yeah.
a little gossipy and didn't really seem like big news.
But the part that caught my attention just sort of in a gossipy way is apparently uh apparently Candace has a hypothesis uh that the Egyptian government has as two of its official state planes have somehow intersected with the travels of Erica Kirk uh like 70 times and that it would statistically impossible for that to be an accident.
Now, she doesn't go beyond that uh to say what it is that uh what it is that Egypt Egypt or Erica were up to, but she does the Well, isn't that interesting?
Isn't that interesting?
Yeah, we presume it would be about Israel just because the Middle East is involved.
But so Ian Carol has also been covering the plane paths.
Well, I saw this morning somebody say that the data was fake and I don't know.
There's no way to know.
I'm going to say I don't think there's anything to that one because even if uh even if Egypt had some kind of interest in in Erica, I don't think that they would use their presidential planes and intersect with her 70 times.
Yeah.
Now Megan Kelly got in the middle of it.
Oh, they're registered as Egyptian register.
That might be different.
Well, I'm going to go on record of saying I doubt there's anything to it.
Um, the Egypt planes are a scam.
Yeah, I suspect there's nothing there.
That's my guess.
So, let's catch up with the Rob Reiner story.
Are you sick of that yet?
That one is kind of deeper than I thought it would be.
Takar said it's true.
What part is true?
The planes.
Kico the Great has a story about that.
Do you really think that this one's worth digging into the airplane story?
We're just super chats.
No, they're using her Candace to make us all look crazy.
Maybe.
Maybe.
So, I think I've given you my opinion, but here's some things that I've recently realized.
So, now now we hear that the Riners were planning to have dinner with the Obamas that very night.
Do you believe that?
>> Do you believe that by coincidence the Rhiners were going to have dinner with the Obamas that very night, the night they were killed?
Well, they do have they do have a lot of famous friends where they did so that that's possible.
But now that you know that they were that close with the Obamas, did you know that they were um at least Rob Reiner was close with I think five different heads of the CIA.
So there was or at least intelligence people.
Um, so he did a he did a piece about the Russia collusion in which he was trying to sell Russia collusion to the public and he did that with a Brennan and Clapper, you know, high production thing.
Now, do you think that when Rob Reiner did that video with Brennan and Clapper accusing Trump of being a a Russian puppet, do you think he knew that wasn't true?
because there's there's some possibility he didn't know and that he put all that effort and you know personal capital into it without knowing.
He was also very good friends with Norm Eisen and if you don't know who Norm Eisen is then you don't know what happened in our country for the last several years.
So Norm Eisen is the the architect of all the lawfare against Trump.
Pretty much all of it, you know, from the Russia collusion.
So you got the Obamas, good friends.
You got Norm Eisen, good friends.
You've got uh Stephen King, who we worked with for years and made many movies together.
Yeah, Larry David.
I always wondered why Larry David was so so weird about Trump, but maybe that's part of it, that connection.
Um, and who else was he?
Yeah.
So, basically Rob Reiner was connected with the the power assets in the Democratic party.
So that that explains a lot.
I don't know about George Clooney.
Was there any connection between Clooney and Robin?
Aside from the fact that they're both famous and they probably knew each other.
Yeah.
So, I posted this morning a uh video of Rob Reiner um and his wife in some interview talking about Trump.
Yeah.
Stephen King, they were good friends that work together.
And look at Rob Reiner when he's talking about Trump.
When he's saying things that we all know to be true, his eyes are open.
But when he goes into fiction, you know, the part where Trump is Hitler and he's working with Putin and all that, he closes his eyes like he's imagining it and then talking about what he's imagining.
You have to watch it.
Once you see it, you can't unsee it.
So, here's a question I have.
Why did Rob Reiner treat the anti-Trump stuff like it was his job?
I don't think he was doing it for money, but he didn't do it like he was just a concerned citizen.
Would you agree?
The the amount of uh organization and effort and you know, he he was part of a club and they were all after him.
It very much it very much looked like something bigger than just his political opinion.
And it's hard for me to believe that he believed the stuff he was saying.
You think it was his job?
Well, he didn't need the money.
He was probably worth hundreds of billions.
Well, anyway, um I saw the the video where his wife Michelle was literally literally calling MAGA supporters essentially the same as Hitler's supporters.
So if somebody has that much uh political power as the Rhiners did because it wasn't just what they said in public, it was their their work behind the scenes and organizing the anti-Trump stuff.
If you have that much political power and you demonize a group of people of which I am a part of, at what point can I say bad things about my mortal enemy because the rhiners were would have been very uh let's say not happy with me.
Do you do you think that do you think that they had a completely uh innocent opinion of uh Trump supporters?
No.
No.
They they had a very negative opinion of people like me.
Not me.
Not me personally.
He never mentioned me personally.
But if somebody goes on TV and they and they're a prominent person and they accuse you of being essentially no better than a Hitler supporter, how polite are you supposed to be when something bad happens to them?
I I feel like this whole theatrical thing where you have to say, "Oh my god, even though they disagree with you, even though they disagree, it's the worst thing in the world because of the family and all that." To which I say, "You wouldn't say that Ben loved and got shot.
He would also be my mortal enemy." I did see uh uh what's his name?
Woods.
Uh, I forget what's the name of the guy, the the actor whose last James Woods.
I did see James Woods say that he was uh pro- Reiner because he helped him with his career and he was a nice guy.
And that's fine.
Yeah.
If if uh if Reiner had helped me in my career when I needed it the most and he had been my good friend for years, I' I'd say the same thing that James Wood did.
But here's the thing that I summarize that with.
Don't you think everybody has the right to their own opinion about him?
Don't you think that if you're James Woods and even though he Reiner disagreed with them, they had a very close relationship in person, don't you think it's fine for James Wood to have a positive opinion?
Of course.
Why would I disagree with that?
But likewise, if if uh Reiner had tried to get you kicked out of the presidency, overthrow the country, and put you in jail, literally put you in jail, which is what he was trying to do with Trump, don't you think Trump has an absolute right to have any opinion he wants about that?
And do we do you and I have any obligation to agree with James Woods?
perfectly reasonable opinion or to agree with Trump perfectly reasonable opinion.
Now, some would say, but it's not his opinion that's the problem.
Trump's they would say it's the fact that he said it, you know, when when the situation was fresh.
Again, that's up to Trump.
It is his personal opinion and he can say it anytime he wants and I would rather know his actual opinion than some fake you know some opinion who controls the past.
Yeah.
So I am uh completely supportive of anybody who had a pro or negative opinion and whenever they expressed it.
I think that uh Reiner made himself a public figure on this topic.
So if the public talks about this topic that would be fair.
You know what I haven't missed?
Yeah.
Weirdly, um, because they give me such good painkillers and stuff that, uh, I've not once thought I wish I had some weed.
Isn't that weird?
You'd think I would.
So, this morning, I am uh I'll be going back to get the last of my five planned radiation treatments.
So far, there's no um no positive benefit coming from it and we're not actually expecting any.
But I've got two doctors who disagree.
So, one doctor says if it's gotten worse, which it has, while you're doing the radiation, the radiation won't work.
And one says, well, you have to wait a couple weeks.
And uh the scans show that you know you still had some function before we started the radiation.
So there's 50% chance that there'll be some benefit.
Not a complete recovery or anything like that, but 50% chance I might get feeling back in my legs because right now I don't have any feeling below the waist.
So I am completely at their mercy.
Yeah.
If possible, put on protective gear.
Here's your radioactive.
No, but if they were pregnant, I believe they could not be around me.
I think that's true.
And I when I I might go home maybe tomorrow, but I can't go home unless I have a full set of like hospital gear to move me around and uh I've got some people to take care of me when when I need basically everything.
All I really have is my upper body.
So I'm like half a person right now.
The bottom half half has to be managed by other people with all that implies the pain is not so bad because they're good at managing it.
So this mo this morning I woke up in int intense pain my shoulder area which is not unusual and uh but they had the painkiller in me in two minutes and then I was fine.
What reframe am I using?
Well, I think I need to work harder on a reframe.
Uh, is it affecting me financially?
Uh, yes and no.
Yes and no.
Um, I'm going to see if later today or maybe tomorrow I can start posting comics again.
But interestingly, my locals local subscribers have stayed loyal and my streaming revenue is probably I might even be up.
I don't know.
So, but it it will affect me.
Uh yeah.
Yeah.
There's a Bill Hater story.
How would you like to meet Bill her who was apparently a celebrity at Conan O'Brien's party where that Nick Reiner was and I guess something weird happened between hater and Nick Reiner and caused I think Nick was kicked out of the party.
But how would you like to be the last person to talk to him before he went crazy?
I guess he was crazy.
No rush.
They say cancer affects every patient financially.
Well, yeah.
I mean, if if I stayed alive and stayed with cancer that would stop me from working, but I had to spend, you know, a million dollars a year just paying somebody to take care of me.
That would affect me financially.
But I will say again about uh the Riners, as far as I can tell, they did everything you can do uh as a parent of an addicted, mentally ill kid.
So I don't I do not fault them for their parenting.
However, if we were to find out that there was something else weird going on there, I would immediately revise my opinion.
There are some um there are some disturbing hints of what that must have been like to be in the Reiner family, but they're not any kind of confirmed anything.
It just sounds like Hollywood stuff.
like like one of the things is that uh Rob Reiner would kiss his son on the lips.
Well, that might be more of a Hollywood thing than it is any other kind of thing.
I'm not sure I would judge that.
That's that's not the it's not the most unusual thing.
It is unusual, but it's not, you know, by itself it doesn't prove anything.
Yeah, it uh definitely not something I would have experienced.
Yeah.
So, Trump has designated fentinel a weapon of mass destruction.
Uh I hope I was maybe part of that, but I don't really think he needed to do that.
Um, I think it's just part of the overall squeezing of Venezuela.
All right, I'm going to look at some I'm going to go to X and look at my own feed or maybe at You know what?
I'm going look at Owen's feed.
I've got weird hiccups I get all the time now.
All right, if you want to follow along, I'm going to Owen Gregorian's feed.
And the reason I do that is every morning before before I do my thing, uh Owen finds some uh interesting stories that I might be interested in talking about.
He does a really good job of finding interesting stories.
So 17 hours ago, uh Owen says that his uh his own retired mother uh is on a list of people who donated almost every week to to politics, I assume, to a Democrat, but of course that's not real.
So, it looks like his own mother is in that fake donation Democrat scam thing.
Uh, I should invite you over for botchi.
All right.
Then Owen says, so this is Owen Gregorian's feed on X.
And the re the reason I'm if you're just joining the reason I'm reading his is he uh intentionally picks stories that he thinks I would like or or this audience would like.
So it's not random.
Well, apparently there's some data that the payroll rose by 64,000 in November after falling 105,000 in October.
But if you have been following the jobs numbers, I would say we don't really know what's happening with jobs.
Do you believe any data on jobs?
I I would say wait on that.
I don't believe that.
I don't think anybody's lying.
I think that we just don't have good data on jobs.
Well, then there's some data on tariff revenue and the CBP says it collected over 200 billion in tariff revenue so far and that would be only a partial well it was almost end of the year.
200 billion.
Do you think that's real?
And is that really just another form of taxation?
You decide.
But it's a big number.
Uh did you know that the GOP is poised to overtake the Democrats on voter roles?
So there will it looks like uh it already happened the key swing states after years of Democrat dominance.
This is according to Alec Shamel and Fox News.
Democrats are now a minority in apparently a number of swing states, which would be the whole game unless unless the uh election is rigged.
How many of you think the election will be rigged?
I don't know.
I I think the Republicans are now wise enough that they know where to check.
So, they're definitely going to be looking at the voting machines.
In Chicago, there's an Hispanic restaurant owner who is suing because he was told he can't have a restaurant unless he's black.
So, he couldn't renew his license and they told him it's because he's not black.
Do you believe that in Chicago?
There might be more to that story.
I'd have to hear the other side of that, but it'd be pretty bad if it's true.
Um, Marco Rubio is ruling out a 2028 run if JD Vance decides to run.
Oh, I guess he said it directly.
If JD Vance runs, he's he's going to be the nominee.
Huh.
That's interesting.
Um, I guess shoops have been fired over Biden's COVID vacate.
Oh, the ones that were fired over the Biden mandate are going to get an honorable discharge.
They must have not gotten honorable discharges before.
All right.
Well, that's a good move by Hex Seth.
Some European geopolitical analysts were sanctioned for claiming Ukraine and NATO triggered the Russian reaction and the war.
Well, yeah, I can see why they get in trouble for that.
Rubio continues to impress.
I would agree.
I think Rubio's done a solid job.
Yep.
And you talk to Susie while you know I haven't seen what Susie Wilds is accused of saying.
I keep seeing stories that um like CNN where they say stuff like we can't believe what Susie Wild said, but I don't know what the story is.
Let me see if I can find it.
Susie Wilds.
So, um um shares a candid view.
All right, let's see.
Whoa, there's no way she said that.
So, according to Grock, uh, Wilds, the first woman in a role as a veteran Trump campaign manager, described President Trump as having quote, "An alcoholics's personality, overconfident, and fearless, like her late father, Pat Summerall." What?
Susie Wild's late father was Pat Summerall?
I didn't know that.
Uh although Trump doesn't drink, uh she labeled Vance a former conspiracy theorist.
She called Elon Musk an odd duck who sleeps in a sleeping bag at work and pointed critiques of big policy debates on Terra Spartans and Venezuela.
Now, you have to know that this isn't Vanity Fair.
Why in the world would she do an interview for Vanity Fair?
You know, Vanity Fair is where you avoid interviews, right?
That's not some place you go to give an interview, but apparently there's a big extended thing.
So, it sounds like they did the embed the uh I've told you this trick before.
If you're ever in a situation where a major publication says, "Uh, we want to we want a reporter to spend the day with you, you know, spend the whole day and we're going to do a big feature piece." That's always a hit piece.
Always a hit piece.
They do not spend the day with you to find out all the cool good things you do.
That is not the point.
They're looking for mistakes.
They're looking for you to let your guard down so they can really hit you.
Yeah.
I would consider Vanity Fairy a trash publication.
So, I don't know what she did or did not say, but I would say for sure you should not trust it.
So, Elon Musk is going to fund uh GOP candidates for the midterms.
That sounds positive.
Um, Europe is praising Trump's truly remarkable Ukrainian peace efforts according to the European Conservative.
Well, it's not getting anything.
So, I would agree it's a nice try.
Um, okay.
Let's see.
Zalinski plays down hopes of peace by Christmas.
Yeah, I think you can play down hopes of peace by Christmas.
Yeah, I don't think that's going to happen.
All right.
Uh oh my god.
Is there a question that Kla Harris wants to run for president again?
Is that real?
She This is unbelievable.
Uh, according to what publication is this?
The Blaze.
So, according to The Blaze, Harris wants to run for president again.
Maybe.
Oh, does some Democrats believe she's taking steps in that direction?
That could be just for attention.
She was signaling to competitors that she may run again.
I'm not buying it yet.
Yeah, she might be teasing it to sell her book.
We don't know it all.
Boy, is Tim Walsh the weirdest, weakest candidate you've ever seen in your life?
I That guy just seems corrupt from top to bottom.
Uh, somebody wrote an article about in the Guardian I spent a month trying to smile like Zora and Mom Donnie.
That's funny.
>> >> Uh, I'm going to have to close down pretty soon because the the lunch or the breakfast will be coming and uh then I won't be able to I won't be able to uh live stream.
The mood enhancing benefits of caffeine are strongest right after waking up.
Recent study shows doesn't surprise me at all.
And I haven't been following the Teen Peters story, but it does sound like she got locked up for exposing rigging in the election.
Is that the story?
Did Ted Peters get locked up under sort of trumped up charges, no pun intended, because she she uh tried to expose the rigging of the election?
And now Trump is going hard trying to uh trying to get her own, I guess.
wants or did he want to transfer to a federal place so he'd have more control?
I haven't been following that enough.
Uh something about mitochondria.
Let's see the MC.
The MRC uh Wikipedia has been converted into one of the left.
Yeah.
While we know Wikipedia is a left-leaning entity, there's a mindset that's now proven to slow aging.
Really, I assume it's positivity.
Let me see what that mindset is.
Uh the topic has been studied for decades.
lighting the touch paper.
Wow, this I hate it when they tease something and then you have to read like 50 pages to get to what it is they're teasing.
Someone's beliefs could predict their overall risk of death.
But yeah, so yeah, people have a rosier view of aging live longer.
Come on, everybody knew that.
Apparently, positivity makes you live longer.
Not in my case.
Uh, Apple News shows only one rightle leading outlet out of 560 articles throughout November.
Only one.
There was only one rightle leading article on Apple News.
How do women detect um deception and dating?
Well, that's not hard.
What uh concerned women for America think that Netflix is grooming young kids?
Well, I don't know about that, but I I always I always think they don't know intention versus outcome.
It might be the outcome, but I doubt they woke up with that intention.
Maybe.
What do you think?
Do you think Do you think that executives at Netflix had an intention of grooming children?
That's quite a claim.
I'm no mind readader.
All right.
Minnesota completely corrupt, of course.
Uh, all right.
More criticism of the news.
A Chinese billionaire has over a hundred American citizen children.
What?
There's a Chinese billionaire who has over a 100 American citizen children.
He fathers over 100 US and they're raised legally.
Oh, raising legal and security concerns.
What?
So, there's a billionaire Chinese video game executive, Zubo, who has fathered over a hundred children in the US.
Huh.
Wow.
Wow.
Really?
Several of his kids were raised by nannies.
Wow.
You know, I always wondered about that.
If you were a billionaire, why would you ever stop having children?
You know, as long as they had uh a good support system.
You had 43 kids by 10 women.
Your son-in-law's grandfather.
Wow.
Neuralink trip.
Yeah, I might need one any day now.
All right, what else we got going on here?
There are fewer online trolls than people think.
According to Penas Nexus, so Americans overestimate online toxicity, believing 43% of Reddit users when only 3% are the toxic ones.
Well, I don't know.
I always wondered about that.
I I don't think that that my online experience um looks like 43% trolls.
Looks more like 3%.
Stem cell treatment in Ukraine.
You make trolls block you.
Yeah.
How do you define toxic?
Toxic would be disagrees with me.
The Clintons missed their deposition.
So, can they be arrested now?
Is that how it works?
I think the Clintons are just never going to agree with anything.
By the way, by the way, one of the more interesting got company.
All right, people.
I've got company.
Come in.
Come in.
This uh this should be my breakfast being delivered.
So, I won't eat in front of you.
And I'm going to say bye for now.
I will uh check back in.
But everybody, hope you have a great day and uh it was a pleasure spending time with you again.
I think they're here.
Yeah.
All right, I'm going to end the stream.
Bye for now.
test.
I'll try talking. Let's see if that
works.
Good morning.
Hold on.
All right.
All right. I got a few minutes here to
say good morning and have a quick
simultaneous sip of whatever it is
you're sipping.
I thought I would uh try checking the
news
while you're joining me.
Come on in. Join me.
Looks like the uh locals people are here
first and should be.
Damn it.
I didn't check my voice before I started
talking.
Top 50.
Good morning.
No, no brown shoes are identified.
That is a weird story, isn't it?
So, we don't know what's going on there,
do we?
I usually don't do the uh the stories
about individual murders.
No hospital coffee. Well, I will have
some beverages in half an hour.
Well, when you're in the hospital and
you have nothing to do except
um sleep,
I I just take naps, you know, hour naps
all day.
And then I play on my computer or my
phone.
So happy to see me. Oh, good.
Things aren't going so well here
medically.
I have to be honest,
but you never know. Could be a miracle.
Yeah. Yeah. And it was that nuclear
physicist.
Mhm. You're praying for me. Thank you.
I've got one more radiation treatment
today, but so far it doesn't look like
it's making any difference.
So,
but I do enjoy the uh the ambulance ride
to the radiation center
and after that I'll do some radiation
rides to the pluicto center.
But
looks like the odds are against me.
So, what I thought I would do
is uh catch up on the news while you're
coming in and joining me. You want to do
that?
Let's see. We've got uh
got a thousand people here.
So, I'm using my laptop now,
which frees up my phone.
So, I can uh check some stories on my
phone, see if there's something to talk
about.
Did you know
that Trump uh put a blockade on the
Venezuelan oil tankers?
And apparently he has some kind of
justification for that. Did you know
that Venezuela
um nationalized a bunch of US assets
back in the past? And so I think that's
Trump's uh rationalization.
It's like, oh, you took our you
nationalized our assets. We're going to
take them back. But I guess uh Chevron
has some kind of special deal where they
can still do oil.
So, I'm definitely wondering what is the
real story about Venezuela?
I don't feel like we know. Do you? I
mean, it's a little bit about drugs,
but not completely.
It's a little bit about the Monroe
Doctrine.
Maybe that's more more of it. Maybe it's
about just somebody making money,
but it might be a combination of all
those things. Hey, Sergio.
Good morning.
Well, yeah, they obviously would like
regime change, but to what end?
because the current regime has already
said
we'll give you whatever you want
basically. It's not like we're
negotiating with them.
So
yeah, they definitely want regime
change, but we don't know to what end
because probably there's a lot of
countries we'd like to regime change.
You think it's a Kraken?
That's entirely possible. It's entirely
possible that the only way Trump can
prove that 2024 was stolen or 2020 was
stolen
is by getting control of the Venezuelan
government.
Maybe it's for move China, Russia, and
Iran. Well, that would be the
Yeah, that would be the obvious reason.
That would be the Monroe Doctrine
reason.
But it does seem like he could get that
through negotiating.
What do you think?
Will Tesla Will Space X be bigger than
Tesla?
Yes.
The The thing with SpaceX is there's no
limit how big that can get.
Says he stole the election. Maybe.
All right. Is anybody following the uh
Candace
and uh Erica
and Erica story?
So, I've been trying to ignore the
Candace story because it felt Yeah. a
little gossipy and didn't really seem
like big news.
But the part that caught my attention
just sort of in a gossipy
[clears throat] way is apparently uh
apparently Candace has a hypothesis
uh that the Egyptian government
has as two of its official state planes
have somehow intersected with the
travels of Erica Kirk uh like 70 times
and that it would
statistically impossible for that to be
an accident.
Now, she doesn't go beyond that
uh to say what it is that uh what it is
that Egypt Egypt or Erica were up to,
but she does the Well, isn't that
interesting?
Isn't that interesting?
Yeah, we presume it would be about
Israel
just because the Middle East is
involved. But
so Ian Carol has also been covering the
plane paths. Well, I saw this morning
somebody say that the data was fake
and I don't know. There's no way to
know. I'm going to say I don't think
there's anything to that one because
even if
uh even if Egypt had some kind of
interest in in Erica, I don't think that
they would use their presidential planes
and intersect with her 70 times.
Yeah. Now Megan Kelly got in the middle
of it.
Oh, they're registered as Egyptian
register. That might be different.
Well, I'm going to go on record of
saying I doubt there's anything to it.
Um,
the Egypt planes are a scam.
Yeah, I suspect there's nothing there.
That's my guess.
So, let's catch up with
the Rob Reiner story.
Are you sick of that yet?
That one is kind of deeper than I
thought it would be.
Takar said it's true. What part is true?
The planes.
Kico the Great has a story about that.
Do you really think that this one's
worth digging into
the airplane story?
We're just super chats. [laughter]
No,
they're using her Candace to make us all
look crazy.
Maybe.
Maybe. So, I think I've given you my
opinion, but here's some things that
I've recently realized. So, now now we
hear that the Riners were planning to
have dinner with the Obamas that very
night.
Do you believe that?
>> Do you believe that by coincidence the
Rhiners were going to have dinner with
the Obamas that very night, the night
they were killed?
Well, they do have they do have a lot of
famous friends where they did
so that that's possible. But now that
you know that they were that close with
the Obamas,
did you know that they were um at least
Rob Reiner was close with I think five
different heads of the CIA.
So there was or at least intelligence
people. Um,
so he did a he did a piece about the
Russia collusion in which he was trying
to sell Russia collusion to the public
and he did that with a Brennan and
Clapper, you know, high production
thing. Now, do you think that when Rob
Reiner did that video with Brennan and
Clapper accusing Trump of being a a
Russian puppet, do you think he knew
that wasn't true?
because there's there's some possibility
he didn't know and that he put all that
effort and you know personal capital
into it without knowing.
He was also
very good friends with Norm Eisen
and if you don't know who Norm Eisen is
then you don't know what happened in our
country for the last several years. So
Norm Eisen is the the architect of all
the lawfare against Trump. Pretty much
all of it, you know, from the Russia
collusion. So you got the Obamas,
good friends. You got Norm Eisen, good
friends. You've got uh Stephen King, who
we worked with for years and made many
movies together. Yeah, Larry David. I
always wondered why Larry David was so
so weird about Trump, but maybe that's
part of it, that connection.
Um, and who else was he? Yeah. So,
basically
Rob Reiner was connected with the the
power assets in the Democratic party.
So
that that explains a lot. I don't know
about George Clooney.
Was there any connection between Clooney
and Robin?
Aside from the fact that they're both
famous and they probably knew each
other.
Yeah. So, I posted this morning
a uh video of Rob Reiner um and his wife
in some interview talking about Trump.
Yeah. Stephen King, they were good
friends that work together.
And look at Rob Reiner when he's talking
about Trump. When he's saying things
that we all know to be true, his eyes
are open. But when he goes into fiction,
you know, the part where Trump is Hitler
and he's working with Putin and all
that, he closes his eyes
like he's imagining it and then talking
about what he's imagining.
You have to watch it. Once you see it,
you can't unsee it.
So, here's a question I have.
Why did Rob Reiner treat the anti-Trump
stuff like it was his job? I don't think
he was doing it for money, but he didn't
do it like he was just a concerned
citizen. Would you agree? The the amount
of uh organization and effort and you
know, he he was part of a club and they
were all after him. It very much
it very much looked like something
bigger than just his political opinion.
And it's hard for me to believe that he
believed the stuff he was saying.
You think it was his job? Well, he
didn't need the money.
He was probably worth hundreds of
billions.
Well, anyway,
um I saw the the video where his wife
Michelle was literally literally
calling MAGA supporters essentially the
same as Hitler's supporters.
So if somebody has that much uh
political power as the Rhiners did
because it wasn't just what they said in
public, it was their their work behind
the scenes and organizing the anti-Trump
stuff. If you have that much political
power
and you demonize a group of people
of which I am a part of,
at what point can I say bad things about
my mortal enemy
because
the rhiners were would have been very uh
let's say not happy with me. Do you do
you think that
do you think that they had a completely
uh innocent opinion of uh Trump
supporters? No.
No. They they had a very negative
opinion of people like me. Not me. Not
me personally. He never mentioned me
personally. But
if somebody goes on TV
and they and they're a prominent person
and they accuse you of being essentially
no better than a Hitler supporter,
how polite are you supposed to be when
something bad happens to them?
I I feel like this whole theatrical
thing where you have to say, "Oh my god,
even though they disagree with you, even
though they disagree,
it's the worst thing in the world
because of the family and all that." To
which I say, "You wouldn't say that Ben
loved and got shot. He would also be my
mortal enemy."
I did see uh uh what's his name? Woods.
Uh,
I forget what's the name of the guy, the
the actor whose last James Woods.
I did see James Woods
say that he was uh pro- Reiner because
he helped him with his career and he was
a nice guy. And that's fine.
Yeah. If if uh if Reiner had helped me
in my career when I needed it the most
and he had been my good friend for
years, I' I'd say the same thing that
James Wood did. But here's the thing
that I summarize that with. Don't you
think everybody has the right to their
own opinion about him?
Don't you think that if you're James
Woods and even though he Reiner
disagreed with them, they had a very
close relationship in person, don't you
think it's fine for James Wood to have a
positive opinion? Of course. Why would I
disagree with that? But likewise,
if if uh Reiner had tried to get you
kicked out of the presidency, overthrow
the country, and put you in jail,
literally put you in jail, which is what
he was trying to do with Trump, don't
you think Trump has an absolute right to
have any opinion he wants about that?
And do we do you and I have any
obligation to agree with James Woods?
perfectly reasonable opinion or to agree
with Trump perfectly reasonable opinion.
Now, some would say, but it's not his
opinion that's the problem. Trump's they
would say it's the fact that he said it,
you know, when when the situation was
fresh.
Again, that's up to Trump. It is his
personal opinion and he can say it
anytime he wants and I would rather know
his actual opinion than some fake
you know
some opinion
who controls the past.
Yeah. So
I am uh completely supportive of anybody
who had a pro or negative opinion and
whenever they expressed it. I think that
uh Reiner made himself a public figure
on this topic. So if the public talks
about this topic that would be fair.
You know what I haven't missed?
Yeah. Weirdly,
um, because they give me such good
painkillers and stuff
that, uh, I've not once thought I wish I
had some weed. Isn't that weird?
You'd think I would.
So, this morning, I am uh I'll be going
back to get the last of my five planned
radiation treatments. So far, there's no
um no positive benefit coming from it
and we're not actually expecting any.
But I've got two doctors who disagree.
So, one doctor says
if it's gotten worse, which it has,
while you're doing the radiation,
the radiation won't work.
And one says, well, you have to wait a
couple weeks. And uh the scans show that
you know you still had some function
before we started the radiation. So
there's 50% chance that there'll be some
benefit. Not a complete recovery or
anything like that, but 50% chance I
might get feeling back in my legs
because right now I don't have any
feeling below the waist.
So I am completely at their mercy.
Yeah. If possible, put on protective
gear. Here's your radioactive.
No, but if they were pregnant, I believe
they could not be around me. I think
that's true.
And I when I I might go home
maybe tomorrow,
but I can't go home unless I have a full
set of like hospital gear to move me
around and uh I've got some people to
take care of me when
when I need basically everything.
All I really have is my upper body. So
I'm like half a person right now. The
bottom half half has to be managed by
other people with all that implies
the pain is not so bad because they're
good at managing it. So this mo this
morning I woke up in int intense pain my
shoulder area which is not unusual and
uh but they had the painkiller in me in
two minutes
and then I was fine.
What reframe am I using? Well,
I think I need to work harder on a
reframe.
Uh, is it affecting me financially? Uh,
yes and no.
Yes and no. Um, I'm going to see if
later today or maybe tomorrow I can
start posting comics again. But
interestingly, my locals
local subscribers have stayed loyal
and my streaming revenue is probably I
might even be up. I don't know.
So, but it it will affect me. Uh
yeah. Yeah. There's a Bill Hater story.
How would you like to meet Bill her who
was apparently a celebrity at Conan
O'Brien's party
where that Nick Reiner was and I guess
something weird happened between hater
and Nick Reiner and caused I think Nick
was kicked out of the party. But how
would you like to be the last person to
talk to him before he went crazy?
I guess he was crazy.
No rush.
They say cancer affects every patient
financially. Well, yeah. I mean, if if I
stayed alive and stayed with cancer that
would stop me from working, but I had to
spend, you know, a million dollars a
year just paying somebody to take care
of me. That would affect me financially.
But I will say again about uh the
Riners,
as far as I can tell, they did
everything you can do uh as a parent of
an addicted, mentally ill kid.
So I don't I do not fault them for their
parenting. However,
if we were to find out that there was
something else weird going on there, I
would immediately revise my opinion.
There are some um there are some
disturbing
hints of what that must have been like
to be in the Reiner family, but they're
not any kind of confirmed anything.
It just sounds like Hollywood stuff.
like like one of the things is that uh
Rob Reiner would kiss his son on the
lips.
Well, that might be more of a Hollywood
thing than it is any other kind of
thing. I'm not sure I would judge that.
That's that's not the it's not the most
unusual thing. It is unusual,
but it's not, you know, by itself it
doesn't prove anything.
Yeah,
it uh definitely not something I would
have experienced.
Yeah. So, Trump has designated fentinel
a weapon of mass destruction.
Uh I hope I was maybe part of that, but
I don't really think he needed to do
that.
Um, I think it's just part of the
overall squeezing of Venezuela.
All right, I'm going to look at some I'm
going to go to X and look at my own feed
or maybe at You know what? I'm going
look at Owen's feed.
I've got weird hiccups I get all the
time now.
All right, if you want to follow along,
I'm going to Owen Gregorian's feed. And
the reason I do that is every morning
before
before I do my thing,
uh Owen finds some uh interesting
stories that I might be interested in
talking about. He does a really good job
of finding interesting stories.
So
17 hours ago,
uh Owen says that his uh his own retired
mother
uh is on a list of people who donated
almost every week to to politics, I
assume, to a Democrat, but of course
that's not real. So, it looks like his
own mother is in that fake donation
Democrat scam thing.
Uh, I should invite you over for botchi.
All right.
Then Owen says, so this is Owen
Gregorian's feed on X. And the re the
reason I'm if you're just joining the
reason I'm reading his is he uh
intentionally picks stories that he
thinks I would like or or this audience
would like. So it's not random.
Well, apparently there's some data that
the payroll rose by 64,000 in November
after falling 105,000 in October.
But if you have been following the jobs
numbers, I would say we don't really
know what's happening with jobs.
Do you believe any data on jobs?
I I would say wait on that. I don't
believe that. I don't think anybody's
lying. I think that we just don't have
good data on jobs.
Well, then there's some data on tariff
revenue and the CBP says it collected
over 200 billion in tariff revenue so
far and that would be only a partial
well it was almost end of the year. 200
billion.
Do you think that's real?
And is that really just another form of
taxation? You decide. But it's a big
number.
Uh did you know that the GOP is poised
to overtake the Democrats
on voter roles? So there will it looks
like uh
it already happened the key swing states
after years of Democrat dominance. This
is according to Alec Shamel and Fox
News. Democrats are now a minority in
apparently a number of swing states,
which would be the whole game unless
unless
the uh election is rigged.
How many of you think the election will
be rigged?
I don't know. I I think the Republicans
are now wise enough that they know where
to check.
So, they're definitely going to be
looking at the voting machines.
In Chicago, there's an Hispanic
restaurant owner who is suing because he
was told he can't have a restaurant
unless he's black.
So, he couldn't renew his license
and they told him it's because he's not
black. Do you believe that
in Chicago? There might be more to that
story. I'd have to hear the other side
of that, but it'd be pretty bad if it's
true.
Um,
Marco Rubio is ruling out a 2028 run if
JD Vance decides to run. Oh,
I guess he said it directly. If JD Vance
runs, he's he's going to be the nominee.
Huh.
That's interesting.
Um, I guess shoops have been fired over
Biden's COVID vacate.
Oh, the ones that were fired over the
Biden mandate are going to get an
honorable discharge.
They must have not gotten honorable
discharges before. All right. Well,
that's a good move by Hex Seth.
Some European geopolitical analysts were
sanctioned for claiming Ukraine and NATO
triggered the Russian
reaction and the war. Well,
yeah, I can see why they get in trouble
for that.
Rubio continues to impress. I would
agree. I think Rubio's done a solid job.
Yep. And you talk to Susie while you
know I haven't seen what Susie Wilds is
accused of saying. I keep seeing stories
that um like CNN
where they say stuff like we can't
believe what Susie Wild said,
but I don't know what the story is. Let
me see if I can find it.
Susie
Wilds.
So, um um shares a candid view.
All right, let's see.
Whoa, there's no way she said that. So,
according to Grock, [clears throat]
uh, Wilds, the first woman in a role as
a veteran Trump campaign manager,
described President Trump as having
quote, "An alcoholics's personality,
overconfident, and fearless,
like her late father, Pat Summerall."
What? Susie Wild's late father was Pat
Summerall? I didn't know that.
Uh although Trump doesn't drink,
uh she labeled Vance a former conspiracy
theorist. She called Elon Musk an odd
duck who sleeps in a sleeping bag at
work
and pointed critiques of big policy
debates on Terra Spartans and Venezuela.
Now, you have to know that this isn't
Vanity Fair.
Why in the world would she do an
interview for Vanity Fair?
You know, Vanity Fair is where you avoid
interviews, right? That's not some place
you go to give an interview,
but apparently there's a big extended
thing. So, it sounds like they did the
embed the uh I've told you this trick
before.
If you're ever in a situation where a
major publication says, "Uh, we want to
we want a reporter to spend the day with
you, you know, spend the whole day and
we're going to do a big feature piece."
That's always a hit piece.
Always a hit piece. They do not spend
the day with you to find out all the
cool good things you do. That is not the
point. [gasps] They're looking for
mistakes. They're looking for you to let
your guard down so they can really hit
you.
Yeah. I would consider Vanity Fairy a
trash publication. So, I don't know what
she did or did not say, but I would say
for sure you should not trust it.
So, Elon Musk is going to fund
uh GOP candidates for the midterms.
That sounds positive.
Um, Europe is praising Trump's truly
remarkable Ukrainian peace efforts
according to the European Conservative.
Well, it's not getting anything.
So, I would agree it's a nice try.
Um,
[sighs]
okay.
Let's see. Zalinski plays down hopes of
peace by Christmas. Yeah, I think you
can play down hopes of peace by
Christmas.
Yeah, I don't think that's going to
happen.
All right. Uh oh my god. Is there a
question that Kla Harris wants to run
for president again?
Is that real? She This is unbelievable.
Uh, according to
what publication is this? The Blaze.
So, according to The Blaze, Harris wants
to run for president again. Maybe.
Oh, does some Democrats believe she's
taking steps in that direction?
That could be just for attention.
She was signaling to competitors that
she may run again.
I'm not buying it yet.
Yeah, she might be teasing it to sell
her book.
We don't know it all.
Boy, is Tim Walsh the weirdest, weakest
candidate you've ever seen in your life?
I That guy just seems corrupt from top
to bottom.
Uh, somebody wrote an article about in
the Guardian I spent a month trying to
smile like Zora and Mom Donnie.
That's funny.
>> [snorts]
>> Uh, I'm going to have to close down
pretty soon because the the lunch or the
breakfast will be coming and uh then I
won't be able to I won't be able to
uh live stream.
The mood enhancing benefits of caffeine
are strongest right after waking up.
Recent study shows doesn't surprise me
at all.
And I haven't been following the Teen
Peters story, but it does sound like she
got locked up for exposing rigging in
the election. Is that the story? Did Ted
Peters get locked up under sort of
trumped up charges, no pun intended,
because she she uh tried to expose the
rigging of the election? And now Trump
is going hard trying to uh trying to get
her own, I guess.
wants or
did he want to transfer to a federal
place so he'd have more control? I
haven't been following that enough.
Uh something about mitochondria.
Let's see the MC. The MRC
uh Wikipedia has been converted into one
of the left. Yeah. While we know
Wikipedia is a left-leaning entity,
there's a mindset that's now proven to
slow aging.
Really,
I assume it's positivity.
Let me see what that mindset is.
Uh
the topic has been studied for decades.
lighting the touch paper. Wow, this I
hate it when they tease something and
then you have to read like 50 pages to
get to what it is they're teasing.
Someone's beliefs could predict their
overall risk of death. But yeah,
so yeah, people have a rosier view of
aging live longer.
Come on, everybody knew that.
Apparently, positivity makes you live
longer.
Not in my case.
Uh, Apple News shows only one rightle
leading outlet out of 560 articles
throughout November. Only one. There was
only one rightle leading article on
Apple News.
How do women detect
um deception and dating? Well, that's
not hard.
What
uh concerned women for America think
that
Netflix is grooming young kids?
Well, I don't know about that, but I I
always I always think they don't know
intention versus outcome. It might be
the outcome,
but I doubt they woke up with that
intention.
Maybe.
What do you think? Do you think Do you
think that executives at Netflix had an
intention of grooming children? That's
quite a claim. I'm no mind readader.
All right. Minnesota completely corrupt,
of course.
Uh,
all right. More criticism of the news.
A Chinese billionaire has over a hundred
American citizen children. What?
There's a Chinese billionaire who has
over a 100 American citizen children.
He fathers over 100 US and they're
raised legally.
Oh, raising legal and security concerns.
What?
So, there's a billionaire Chinese video
game executive, Zubo, who has fathered
over a hundred
children in the US.
Huh.
Wow.
Wow.
Really?
Several of his kids were raised by
nannies.
Wow.
You know, I always wondered about that.
If you were a billionaire, why would you
ever stop having children?
You know, as long as they had uh a good
support system.
You had 43 kids by 10 women. Your
son-in-law's grandfather. Wow.
Neuralink trip. Yeah, I might need one
any day now.
All right, what else we got going on
here?
There are fewer online trolls than
people think.
According to Penas Nexus,
so Americans overestimate online
toxicity,
believing 43% of Reddit users
when only 3% are the toxic ones. Well, I
don't know. I always wondered about
that. I I don't think that that my
online experience
um looks like 43% trolls. Looks more
like 3%.
Stem cell treatment in Ukraine.
You make trolls block you.
Yeah. How do you define toxic? Toxic
would be disagrees with me.
The Clintons missed their deposition.
So, can they be arrested now?
Is that how it works?
I think the Clintons are just never
going to
agree with anything. By the way, by the
way, one of the more interesting
got company. All right, people. I've got
company. Come in.
Come in.
This uh this should be my breakfast
being delivered.
So, I won't eat in front of you.
And I'm going to say bye for now. I will
uh check back in.
But everybody, hope you have a great day
and uh it was a pleasure spending time
with you again.
I think they're here.
Yeah. All right, I'm going to end the
stream. Bye for now.
