w, real conspiratorial stuff. The essence of it is that some prominent deep state member whose name I won't mention because it's not credible enough is behind a bunch of blackmail schemes of notable people you've heard of. The only thing it has in its favor is it's bipartisan. So it doesn't seem to be just pro-Democrat or pro-Republican. Sounds like something that would involve both parties. So that's the only thing that gives it a little feel of maybe true. But it's way beyond, way below the line of credibility. But it's fun.

If you'd like to know for sure if it's Clapper, that would be easy because there are programs, I think you probably Google it and it would come right up. There is a way to check if somebody's word pattern usage matches their past pattern of usage. And if somebody's just speaking off the top of their head, which is what the audio purports, you can match it pretty much every time. It'd be like a 98 percent chance you could match it. So if anybody cared, you just go find one of those language matching apps, match it up to things he said before, and you would know for sure.

But I'm not going to tell you what he said. You can look at it online. I just don't want to repeat it more than I have to. But it would be shocking and change the world if it were true.

All right. Israel is having a problem with African immigrants. I guess they had a big brawl in Tel Aviv and hundreds were involved in brawling and rioting. And so Netanyahu says he's going to deport the Africans. Do you think that's going to happen? Do you think he's really going to deport Africans from Israel? I don't know. I've got my doubts. Maybe he'll deport people who were captured on video causing trouble. You might do that. But do you think he's going to take every African? You know, a few hundred had it, right? Can he get away with that politically domestically? Because I've got a feeling that the Israelis are pretty much against discriminating. At least a lot of them. I don't know. I wouldn't speak for all of them. But I would think that because of their history, presumably, there would be very strong feelings against targeting any group of ethnic people. I'm not sure he'll get away with it. I mean, he said he'd do it, but who knows if that's really going to happen. Who knows. We'll keep an eye on that. It might be a canary in the coal mine for something happening over here, but I doubt it. I doubt it.

Representative Nancy Mace, who continues to be one of the more interesting people in politics only because she says stuff you're not supposed to say on TV. And so here's something she said out loud on CNN, and CNN aired it without bleeping it, and they replayed it without bleeping it. So she said she was talking about how the Republicans are handling the issue of abortion. And she said, quote, "We cannot be too women." Huh. And I thought, oh, that's perfect. That's my exact opinion. The political part of my opinion. I don't give you my own opinion on abortion because, as I often say, leave it to women. You know, I'll just follow the leader. Women, if women want it to be illegal in my state, I'll agree. If they want it to be legal in my state, I'll just say it wasn't my decision.

So Nancy Mace is a woman and she's got a credible right to her opinion on this. And I like the fact that she's calling it out. The political element of it is you're going to have to make sure that women are okay with whatever it is the Republicans say or you're not going to win any elections. Now that's different from the issue of what you think about abortion itself. I'm just talking about the messaging. The messaging has to be a little smarter on the Republican side. I would say it's lacking quite a bit. And that it's probably 50 percent less good than it could be, the messaging part, without changing the message. So I would listen to Nancy Mace on messaging. She seems really good on that stuff.

So I saw a tweet from Joe Biden saying that diversity is the thing that he's working for. He's trying to get that diversity up in the country. And here's my reframe on diversity. Diversity is a goal, right? I mean, that's what the president says. We want more diversity. It's a goal. Goals are stupid in general. Just in general, goals are suboptimal. I wrote a book about it. It's the most famous thing I've ever done. There are many books on Amazon right now that have picked up that point. The systems are better than goals. And you know, they're like a whole explosion of books on the very point that systems are better than goals. But who doesn't know that? Apparently the president of the United States.

One of the most basic understood truths of business and life and being effective is that you need a system. If all you have is a goal, you're in trouble. Now what would you do if you treated diversity as a goal? You would take from people who have what you want. Now this would be true of equity or diversity because diversity is just part of equity. So let's just say equity instead because I'd say diversity is a subset of the larger question of equity.

So equity, if that's your goal, what do you do about it? Well, if it's a goal and some people have more and some people have less, it's pretty obvious you take from the people who have more, you give it to the people who have less. Boom, problem solved. That's why a goal-oriented approach gives you one approach: take money from the people who have it, give it to the people who don't.

Now suppose you had instead a systems approach. What would that look like? What would be a system? Something that you could do every day that would get you not only something closer to equity, because I'm not saying that's a bad thing, you know, at least in terms of a directional thing that everybody wants to be better, but I wouldn't say equity is the goal. You should try to be better than average. Everybody should. And you should work on personal development. So personal development, a lifetime of personal development, makes racism trivial in your life because you would be so much more powerful than the forces against you. But it also makes you much more likely to get closer to that equity range or at least have a good life for yourself and your family than anything else would.

So the big problem with Democrats is they have goals. They sound pretty good. What they don't have is a system to get there. And Republicans continue to let them slide on that. And the problem is that you haven't collected your complaints into one good frame. Republicans say, for example, family is good. We should have more family stuff. How? What are you doing? You're just talking. That's a goal, right? If you're not telling me what to do about it. But I would say that in the past a family was a system, wouldn't you? Family as an organizer is a system that's worked forever.

How about religion? Religion is not really a goal. It's more like a system. Something you're paying attention to every day. You're building your life around it, etc. You're practicing it on Sundays especially. That's the system. What about a free market? Free market system, right? So Republicans are pretty close to an A, you know, grade A for understanding that a system is better than a goal. Democrats are just goal oriented. Get rid of guns. That's our goal. What do you mean, just get rid of them? Yeah, yep, that's the goal. Just get rid of them. Maybe you should think through all the ramifications. Nope. Get rid of them.

What about too many people in jail? Oh, the goal is to have fewer people in jail. So what do you do if you have a goal-oriented mindset? What do you do if there are too many people in prison? Let them out. Yeah, bail reform. Just let them out. So every time you have a goal-oriented approach, you're not just different politically. We have to be a little bit more honest about this. That's actually stupid. And it's stupid according to literally everybody. I just have to describe it in that frame and everybody agrees. Oh shoot, when you say it that way it is stupid. It's not a political difference.

See, this is the thing we keep getting wrong. Because do you think there are a lot of Republicans who don't want people to do well because they're minorities? No, no, no. But they have a system, which is I'll take care of my family and make sure we've got homeschooling because homeschooling is a system, right? So the public schools were a system but then they broke. So then the Republicans, more so than the Democrats, said, well, our system is broke. So what's the point of having a goal of getting everybody well educated if you don't have a system that can do it? So the Republicans immediately moved to an alternate system: homeschooling, etc., mostly homeschooling, right? And then you see the homeschooling system thriving because systems are better than goals.

So every time you see this argument where there's a Democrat who's got a goal that just sounds terrific but their system is just, you should call it out for being part of the stupid approach to life. You don't even have to talk about the individual case. Just say, just in general, goals are how stupid people act. Systems that can work in a variety of ways, including get you closer to something like equity, always work. Yeah, if it's a good system, it always works.

So as soon as the moment you allow yourself to go into their frame, you lose. So the frame of the Democrats is you have my stuff, you owe it to me. If you argue that, you're in the wrong argument. They made you think past the sale into their argument. The argument should be, oh wait, is that a goal-oriented approach you have there? Oh well, I'm not going to talk about that. I'm not too interested in a goal. But if there's a system that could get all of us what we want, let's talk about that and make that system work really well. But a goal? No.

The diversity should not be a goal. Diversity is something that should be something that happens on its own because everybody had a good system for advancement. Equity should not be a goal. It should be something that derives naturally out of a good system because everybody has a chance to get educated. Everybody can do whatever they want. This is whiteboard material. It probably will be. Yeah, it does need to be physical.

But now watch how well I sold this, okay? Most of the things that I try to sell you, so to speak, in my live streams, wouldn't you say most people disagree? Like, well, not most people, but everything I propose as an idea, plenty of people are going to be on the other side even if it's a good idea. There's always plenty of people. But watch this. How many people think I'm wrong that systems are better than goals? And that's the entire problem here. Watch the comments. It's a hundred percent. There won't be a single person who disagrees. It's that easy. If you have the right frame, you get the right result.

So you have to reframe it from the political opinion to systems are smart and goals are stupid. And there's never an exception to that. There won't be any exceptions to them. So yeah, you have to go to the argument that you're going to win. Stay out of their argument. Stay out of that hole. Who's got more? Who's got less? Who has a bad history? Who is the victim? Who's the oppressor? Don't even engage. Those are arguments that unproductive people have. But you're not one of them.

Now maybe before too. All right. I saw a headline on CNN that I thought was going to be one thing and turned into another. The he
