with my own ears. It was on tape. You must be lying because I personally witnessed it. Those people are so lost. It's the lowest standard of truth as you saw it. The lowest standard. So what else we got going here? It's a low news day. That's about it. That's about it. So I'm still working on some plans to figure out how to educate the youth. I've got another scheme which you're going to see. I t…
← Previous segment →e helicopter pickup because the helicopters weren't flying because there was too much wind. That sounds real. So I don't know about anything else, but that sounded real. I don't know if it's real, but it sounds real. The other one doesn't sound real.
Do you think it's real that Hawaii did not properly attend to fire management by getting rid of the weeds or by turning off the power? Yes. Normal incompetence explains everything. See, here's a good rule. If you have two possibilities and one of them is just people acting normal the way they always do, and one of them is an extraordinary space laser, I can't say it's never the space laser. Not never. But if you go with that operating assumption, well, I think the space laser is sounding good now. You're not going to be right very often. Go with the most ordinary.
See, this is what bothers me with all the anti-Semites. The anti-Semites have decided that they're seeing a pattern which can only be explained by a mass Jewish conspiracy. And that's why, for example, there's so many people with Jewish last names who are in the media. You can't think of any other reason that there could be a lot of people in the best jobs in the world. You can't think of any normal reason for that. Like if you went to the colleges of America, would you find that one identifiable group is just killing it on education? Do you think you would find that? Of course you would. Of course you would. Yeah. And if one group is just killing it on education, like they're really getting that right, what kind of jobs are they likely to have? Sort of blue collar construction jobs? Or would they look for good jobs like the kind that everybody would want? You know, it would be a really good job. Head of a media company. I'd like that job, wouldn't you? I mean, if you like that kind of thing, wouldn't you think those are the best jobs?
So we're all going to be surprised that the people who are definitely doing the best in school have some results that would be completely predictable based on having the best academic results. Then on top of that, I can't speak for the Jewish community, but are there a lot of Jewish parents who are telling their kids that they should work for the post office? Because mine did. My father recommended I work at, I grew up to work for the post office because he said the benefits were great. The overtime pay was excellent and the retirement was good too. It was good steady work. And if you work for the post office, you'd always have a job. Yeah. So my parents, who are not Jewish, recommended I get a nice low-end job and settle in on that. Huh. How about that?
Do you think a lot of Jewish households are like, you know what you should really think of? You should really think of plumbing. Have you thought of plumbing? No, they're probably saying you should be a professional of some sort. You know, something that wears a suit or a doctor outfit. And you're going to make something of yourself. You're going to be a writer, an executive or a finance banker or a lawyer, doctor, scientist kind of thing.
So now compare your theory if you're an anti-Semite and you think there's a giant conspiracy. Compare your theory. Now here are the things you have to accept to accept your Jewish conspiracy. You'd have to accept that for some reason conservative Jews are not aware of the conspiracy. How'd that happen? How is it the conservatives, the ones that might be on the same side of those of you who have conspiracy theories, why are the people on your same side not aware of the theory? You're not going to find anybody.
Second, in your view, is the Jewish conspiracy the best kept secret ever? Because I've worked my entire professional career. I've always been around top successful Jewish executives, publishers, agents, talent, way above the percentage that you'd imagine for most kinds of careers because I'm in that kind of a job, right? I have a good job surrounded by people. Other people have good jobs. Why do I have a good job? Because I took school really seriously. That's why I have a good job. I took it really seriously. And so I work with a whole bunch of other people who took school really seriously. Fortunately my mother didn't think I should grow up and work in the post office. She was more of a be a lawyer type.
So do you think that I could spend decades working in and around Jewish professionals and I wouldn't catch a whiff of this bias which you all see that's driving them towards some kind of big conspiracy? That I would spend 30 years, a lot of my best friends, and then nobody would mention it? Like it wouldn't even come up? And that I would notice not a single case, not a single case in my entire career where I even had a whiff that anyone who was Jewish was treating me in any way other than what talent I brought to the situation. Not a whiff. You don't think the eye of all people would be able to detect bias and discrimination against me? You don't think I could detect that? It's all I talk about. It's like 75 percent of everything I talk about is some bias that affects me. I've never seen any.
You can spend your whole life working with the top professionals in the Jewish world. You just would never detect anything like that. It's probably the most open-minded group of people that I've associated with. That's my experience. So the anti-Semites, you're going to have to figure out what's wrong with your theory because the ordinary theory of there's just people who valued school so they do well, that's kind of the whole story.
Now if you say to me but they also support Israel, I say well so do I. So do a lot of people. You know, is that some big surprise? Like does that tell you som

ething? I mean they're one of our strongest allies. Yeah, of course we support. Right. Anyway, I just wanted to put that in there. Do I purchase my coffee from Mike Lindell? No, I'm just keeping it easy. I draw Starbucks. Odds of a kraken? I don't know. Probably the same as ever. You know, the only thing that would suggest there's going to be a kraken is just that it feels like that would be the…
