to. Like they're going to be brave enough to resist. And the CIA says and you know what would really help you is we've got some legislation that's cooking and wouldn't you like to see that go away because that could cost you a lot of money. And there might be some government contracts. Oh we had the 34 minute glitch. There might be some government contracts that would you know triple the size of your company and make you richer than God but you know only if the government's sort of on your side and you're playing along with the government, right? So I don't think there's any such thing as an American company that the CIA can't control. Do you think that's a thing? Do you think there's any such thing as an American company that can't be controlled completely by our intelligence people?

In the long run the intelligence agencies have to have access to it and they'll do whatever it takes and they have the power to do whatever it takes until they get it. You know they can keep hammering on it for years until they get it. But there's nothing they're not going to get if they need it. You all know that, right?

Here's what you'd never see if Sam Harris is trending on X. Oh look I wonder what that's all about. Click. Wow some people are saying some good things about Sam Harris. Well there's a good take. Yeah I can see why he's trending now. He's got a good take on that topic. Not lately. Poor guy. He's just getting owned by absolutely everybody on X. I don't see anybody supporting him at this point. Now that has more to do with the X platform. But even Elon Musk — Elon Musk posted today because there's yet another Sam Harris clip that people are calling stupid. He says Elon Musk says Sam Harris's mind has melted into goo. How would you like to wake up in the morning and find out that the smartest man in the country and the richest just insulted the qual
