context tool like Community Notes. Now how different would things be if everything had context in it? Like really, really different.

And there should be some law that says you can't be for example demonetized based on an accusation which is what's happening to Russell Brand. Russell Brand is being demonetized because of an accusation. The serious ones but unproven, very unproven in the court of law. So yeah, it seems to me that we either need to start a country that has actual free speech as we understand it in the digital world or we have to make some basic changes about what platforms can do. Because here's a conversation I'm really tired of. These platforms are suppressing free speech. They're privately owned, privately owned platforms. They are not required to do what the government is required to do. Yes, everybody knows that. Everybody knows that. So what you added to the conversation was nothing because everybody knows that. And still while everybody knows that we think that this is a new situation and should be rethought and that perhaps some controls or some guard rails would make sense in the digital world. But they're private companies. Yes but in a practical sense having free speech isn't really meaningful if you don't have access to social media. So really we should rethink. But they're private companies. So that's how that conversation goes every time.

All right, ladies and gentlemen, I think I've come to the end of my most magnificent live stream. I'd like to drink a toast to you, those people who are at the top five percent, the people who know what's going on. So you've seen the gears of the machine. You can see the manipulation. You can see the fake entities that support the other fake entities. You know what a wrap-up smear is. You know what propaganda looks like and how to spot it. You know the tells for cognitive dissonance. And you are probably the people who can keep this country running.

I was asked by Michael Malice, and don't ask me when the podcast is going to drop but I'll let you know when I know. So I talked to Michael Malice, had a great conversation. I think you're going to enjoy it. But I want to offer some optimism that I offered there, which is most of the problems that we have right now in the country are the ones that have this long-term nature. Like you can see them coming for a long time. And America is terrific at fixing problems that they can see coming for a long time. I call it the Adams law of slow-moving disasters. If you can see it coming you're probably going to be able to figure it out because that's why we're still here. There would be no humans if we were not really good at solving problems like that. The ones that you worry about, the ones that catch you off guard like the pandemic.

The Fetterman dress code. All right let's talk about the Fetterman dress code. So I'm sure that the dress code was changed because of Fetterman. We all agree with that, right? But I for one would be perfectly happy to see which of my politicians decide to go casual. To me that's just more information if you know what I mean. Are you following? Right, if Representative Boebert shows up to her job wearing what she wore to the play, well then I'm going to modify my opinion of how serious she is. Right, if everybody wears a suit except for Fetterman I don't have a problem with that. Do you? Does anybody have a problem that he's the exception? Because it's not helping him, is it? Is anybody saying you know I like the cut of his jib not so much because of his policies or his defective brain but rather his fashion choices are starting to work for me. I feel that his rebellious look is part of something I feel good about. I like to associate with that a little more closely now. There's no problem. There's nothing to be solved.

And my guess is two or three times you're going to see somebody in a polo shirt because they just came off the golf course to do an important vote or something. But otherwise nobody's going to care. It will have no impact on your life and it is not the end of the Republic. I don't think you're going to see casual jeans Friday in Congress. And if you do, well the ones who don't do that are going to look a little better probably. Is it disrespectful? Let me debate that. Is it disrespectful to dress down for one person who's kind of a special case? Here's what I think about Fetterman. This is going to sound weird but just stay with me. If let's say Steve Jobs were still alive and decided he wanted to run for the Senate, and Steve Jobs famously would always wear his black turtleneck and mom jeans. Now suppose he won and he won the Senate and he said you know what I wan
