that's the major pushback is God-given. Wouldn't you say? Because there's not really a third alternative where they are just sort of natural from nature or something like that. That doesn't make sense. All right but let's say you agree they're God-given. What happens if somebody has a different God or a different belief system? Does your God-given rights require that you have the right view of God…

o needs some asylum. She could stay at my house. Now you show me military-aged men who are coming over to rape my women. What do I say? Shut that border. Are you crazy? This is insane. What are you doing? And I will give you political reasons and I'll give you economic reasons then I'll give you safety reasons and I'm lying. It's all a lie. I'm watching a bunch of men come over who are going to the women that I want. That's the whole story. And I'm watching women like Amy Coney Barrett who's got a little heart on for the men coming over. She has justified it based on the Constitution and has no idea that she just sold the whole country for her vagina. That's what I think. That's what it looks like to me.

Now you might say but no it's really about the law. And I say but no if you think anything's about the law ever you're really not operating at a very high level. Yeah you want to know what the levels of awareness are? Let me give you the levels of awareness. Level of awareness number one: you're a child and you learn for the first time that your parents lied about Santa Claus and then you say to yourself huh I think people can sometimes lie. That's level one. Actually level one is you believe everything you know when you're a child. Then you learn wait a minute the Tooth Fairy, Santa Claus, wait a minute. And you realize that sometimes they can lie. Easter Bunny etc. That's going from zero to maybe one. First level of awareness. Then at some point you realize that they lie not just about silly stuff not just about Santa Claus but they actually lie about really important things and then you go to the next level of awareness. And then you find out holy cow a whole bunch of our news stories are fake. Oh my God I didn't know this when I was, I thought the news was mostly real. And then you find out that there are a whole bunch of stories that are shaded and even the facts are hidden and the context has changed and you realize that a whole lot of the news is fake. And then you realize it gets worse. A lot of the data, the science you know and the data that we see is fake. Is that where you are? How many of you are at that level where you know that when you see science and you see news you should not assume it's true because it might be true and it might not be true. That's where most of you are right. Here's where I'm trying to get you. I'm trying to get you to the layer above that. I'm trying to take you up a level. At the level above it you'll know none of it's true. It can't be. You'll know it's none of it's true and that it can't be true. That's where you need to get. None of it's true and it can't be. How do I know that? I used to be in the business of creating data that other people would have to use to make decisions. Was it ever real? Nope. It was my job to support the decisions that had already been made or to support guessing by making it look like the guess had some basis to it or to make the department look good or that sort of thing. No all information is fake because it's all motivated. Whoever is coming up with the information has a story to tell. That's it. Once you learn it's all fake you go to a different level. So if you're still believing some of the news is true, good luck. Good luck.

By the way I always see the Jewish conspiracy people come in every morning. I've got a question for you. If you think there's a global Jewish conspiracy and I won't, I'll just ask you this question. Would you agree that there's such a thing as liberal Jewish people and conservative Jewish people? Of course, of course you know that. So they all got together. So all the liberal Jews and the conservative Jews they all got together and it

's all part of a big conspiracy. Is that what you think? And why is it that this alleged conspiracy for I don't know hundreds of years that there's never been a whistleblower? Never a whistleblower. Not one. There wasn't a liberal who didn't like what the conservatives were doing or a conservative didn't like what the liberals were doing like everywhere in the rest of the world all the time foreve…
