nvested it will grow faster than inflation if you do it right. I don't know. I'm open-minded on that one. That might not be a gigantic mistake, which would be quite a difference from everything else California does. By the way, is anybody experiencing a blizzard today? Any blizzards? Nice day here in California. I'll be taking a nice walk with my tee, just in my t-shirt. Might be shorts weather.…

y. You're going to say Scott, they recruit the smartest people in the world and the best people in their field. That's true. But then you find out they're all lax about this internet security. And what can I conclude? Because it's not like you can't do it. It's not like it's not easy. How do I know internet security is easy? 50 election people. Listen to me. All 50 election systems pristine, unhackable, completely secured. And yet, and yet Microsoft can't figure it out. Come on, Microsoft. Thank goodness our elections are so we can trust.

Well, Biden administration has canceled their plans to refill the emergency oil reserves. Turns out the prices are too high. So because the prices are too high we'll just not be ready for a war. I wonder if there are any risks of hiring the wrong president. What did the other president do? Oh he filled the reserves when oil prices were really low. And oil prices were low because he was such a pro-energy president. You know, in a way that all worked out, didn't it? Being pro-energy drives down the prices. You say, hey prices are low, let's fill that reserve. Make sure nobody attacks us because we look all prepared. But Biden went the other way. Destroy the energy industry, make the prices high, use up all the cheap gas so that we'll be vulnerable if we're attacked.

Okay, but at least that's the only bad thing Biden's doing. Can we agree on that? At least no other mistakes. Flawless. Pristine, I say again, pristine.

Well here's another story about Biden. He's trying to overthrow the government of an ally, Israel. Okay, that's not ideal. But there's the reporting is that the United States is encouraging these fake protests so it looks like the people are against Netanyahu. They're going to extort ministers in the Israeli government, the rich ones, telling them they'll clamp down on their businesses internationally if they don't get rid of Netanyahu. And America is building a port in Gaza, allegedly to deliver aid but probably to take military control of Gaza away from Israel, some say.

Now is this reporting true? I don't know. Sounds true because the way our intelligence people work is they always have to have a fake protest when they want to overthrow a government. Do you remember Black Lives Matter and Antifa? That was our intelligence people creating fake protests. Now we know they're fake because they stopped as soon as Biden was president. Duh. And it's the same technique they used in, you know, 80 other countries they overthrew. So as soon as you see there's a bunch of fake protests, that means America's trying to overthrow your country. That's basically a really good sign that they're trying to overthrow your country.

So some of the reporting here I can't confirm and some of it is an interpretation and a little bit of mind reading. But does it look to you like Biden wants to get rid of Netanyahu? I say yes. If I had to bet on it, it looks like it's exactly what it looks like. Yeah, that they're trying to get rid of Netanyahu.

So not only is Biden trying to get rid of his competition, both Trump and RFK Jr. in different ways, using lawfare, not giving security to RFK Jr., keeping him off the ballot. He's the most undemocratic president certainly in American history. I don't think nobody's come close. RFK Jr. just says straight out that Biden's the biggest threat to freedom because he actually, he's done massive First Amendment violations, meaning the government worked with private entities to censor. And the things they censored were the truth. It's bad enough that you censor, but they censored really vital, important truths like really, really important to your health. The COVID, for example. So yes, Biden's overthrowing other countries, our allies. So he's quite the anti-democracy guy.

Here's a question that I had in my mind and I said to myself, well I can get an answer to this question by using Google and searching. And watch how easy this is to get the right answer. I'm going to ask you for the answer first and then I'll check Google and make sure that your answer is correct. Okay, here's the question. Are seed oils good for your health, bad for your health, or no difference? Seed oils, good for your health, bad for your health, or no difference? In the comments.

Well if you're on the internet you'll see all the smart people say seed oils are maybe the worst thing you could have in your body, right? So olive oil is still good. Avocado oil is still good because they're not based on the seeds, are based on the fruit I guess. So a lot of you are saying bad. The seed oils. Now I didn't know one way or the other, but I've seen a lot of smart people say it's bad based on science. So I went to Google and I said are seed oils bad? What do you think it told me? No, they're fine. They're fine.

So what's true? Do you think that Big Food has any control over Google? Because I looked at the sources and the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health says the whole seed oil thing is BS and there's no real risk from it at all. It's fine. That's Harvard. Harvard School of Public Health says no real risk. Is Harvard a credible source? No. Are you kidding me? No. Harvard's not a credible source for anything. I don't know if they ever were, but we certainly don't think they are now. It's basically the Bloomberg of colleges. So I don't know.

So as of this morning I don't even have a best guess. I do not have a best guess. My, I mean it's easy to keep away from them. Well actually it's not easy because it's in dressings. So I try to avoid any kind of dressing from a restaurant or DoorDash. So I don't use their dressings usually. And I guess there was a reason for that. So I don't know. I don't know if the seed oils are bad. I just know the sources can't be trusted.

I saw Mike Solana talking about the government keeps talking about solar flares disrupting things, and he thinks they might be priming you so that election day might be, hey solar flare, you know, we got all the mail-in ballots because they were mailed in before, but the same day voting with our machines, oh can't do it. I guess there'll be long delays in all those Republican precincts because the solar flare got us. Well yes, it's, we can't explain it. Didn't that happen in Maricopa? Maricopa, their machines all mysteriously stopped working on Election Day. And now we got solar flares. Well, I will not go as far as Solana is in saying that it's part of a plan, but I do like his pattern recognition. So his pattern recognition picked up this pattern. He could be right. Yeah, I don't have an intuition about this in particular, but yeah I would be amazed if they don't have massive technical problems on Election Day because the technical problems on Election Day will always work against Republicans. So of course they're going to have technical problems. Why wouldn't they? A technical probl

em is the easiest thing to fake. What could be easier to fake than a technical problem? By far the easiest. Yeah, by far the easiest. So yeah, I would expect some technical problem, whether they blame it on solar flares or not. All right. Sage Steele is a journalist and she's telling us that when she did an ESPN interview for Biden that she was given the questions word for word and told she could…
