Physics suggests that both states exist until observed. That when you open the box that cat will be either alive or dead. But here's the fun part. That means you're creating history in the present. That means your observation creates the past. Because if the cat was not guaranteed alive or not guaranteed dead until you open the box, the moment you see the dead cat, the history of the cat dying app…

an comes in there's a pretty good chance that man's getting a cup of coffee. If a woman comes in, what is she ordering? Sugar. She's ordering sugar. Yeah. I wonder if sugar can make you crazy. Oh here's a study. High levels of glucose, triglycerides linked to psychiatric disorders, new study says.

So Starbucks, which in my opinion is a liquid candy store, let me say that again. Starbucks for men is a place to get coffee. For women it's a liquid candy store. They're going for the sugar. If you stand there and watch who walks in, what they pick up and what they walk out with, it's sugar. Now I'm on a low sugar diet because my blood, even at my weight and eating a pretty clean diet, even I am a little bit high in sugar. So there's literally one item in all of Starbucks I'm willing to eat that doesn't have wheat in it because I want to stay away from that. There's only one item, just the egg bites basically.

So we have a Starbucks on every corner. We have the liberal women walking in there and picking up their sugar, going crazy, listening to the news and playing with their phones, not being able to get a date because the whole dating situation and their meaning of life has been destroyed. And then they go into politics and they vote. This is not a sustainable situation. Not sustainable.

So we just have to be a little bit more honest about what's going on. Democrats are a party of women. Women are eating too much sugar and they're going crazy. Not just because of the sugar. I mean it's also the phones, the situation, the old family dating situation, complexity of life, etc.

Now I have a second theory that I'm going to break out. If something were driving all of civilization crazy, whatever it is, you can pick your favorite thing. It's the news, it's their phones, it's something. Whatever it is, where would you see it first? Where would a, like if there was a ray gun that made people crazy, where would you see it first? I think you'd see it in children because they have the weakest minds. And you'd see them going trans and non-binary like crazy. Do we see that? Yes. Yes you see children having major psychological problems, changing their genders, trying anything, literally trying anything to try to solve what's happening. So you'd see it in children and definitely children are going nuts.

Secondly you would see it in women before men. Why? Well do I even need to explain that? Can we finally get past the point where I have to treat men and women like they're the same? Is there anybody listening who needs me to do, oh there's some reason that they're exactly the same? No you don't need that, right? Haven't we outgrown that? Yeah, I'm pretty sure that women are, let's say, closer to their emotional, let's say their emotional life is richer than men. Is that the best way to say it? Do women have a richer emotional life than men? Because that takes the judgment out of it, right? Because I think you'd all agree with that, that women have a richer emotional life. If you have a richer emotional life and I find out about it and I'm a hypnotist, do you know how easy it is to manipulate somebody with that rich emotional life? Super easy. Easier than somebody who's analytical, that's for sure. You can also fool very smart analytical people but that's a little different kind of process.

Yeah. So if we're being subjected to some kind of outside force or forces that are driving people crazy, every observation is supporting that because the humans are falling in the exact order that they would be susceptible to outside manipulation of their psychological well-being. It's all there. It's right in front of you.

Let's see. Is there any other evidence of that? Well Joe Rogan was talking to Coleman Hughes and Coleman Hughes had been on The View recently and had a good little interaction with them. And it caused Joe Rogan to characterize the people on The View as quote "rabies infested hen house." Rabies infested hen house. What would be another word for that? Crazy liberal women. Yeah. So people are willing to say it out loud now. They're going to use their own language but people are saying it out loud.

When you watch The View you really don't get the feeling you're seeing a difference of opinion. You think you're seeing mental illness only. That's all I say. I know what a difference of opinion looks like. You know who has a difference of opinion? Jon Stewart. Jon Stewart now he's got, you know, maybe a little TDS like everybody but he's not insane. He's not mentally incompetent. He doesn't have rabies. He just has different information, different priorities, you know little team play but he's not crazy, right? Bill Maher. You can disagree with him all day long but he doesn't seem crazy. You know he has a little TDS but otherwise fairly normal psychologically as far as we can tell. But there's definitely a difference when you look at The View. They actually seem mentally unwell. And if we can't call out mental health and we have to keep treating it like it's a difference of opinion, that's not going to work very well. Yeah, we need to treat mental health as a mental problem. You know if you want to respect the people involved you treat them like as a medical problem.

Well the bird flu maybe coming at us. I don't know. Somebody had sex with a cow and a bird at the same time and ate a hamburger. I don't know the details. I may have made that up. But somehow the CDC is worrying that this bird flu can spread among our dairy cattle. But Thomas Massie picking up the pattern quickly says the bureaucrats and corporations will probably use this to advance an agenda against raw milk, independent farmers and backyard chickens.

Let me give you some advice. Never get a backyard chicken. Never. Never get a backyard chicken. Because you know what happens if you have a backyard chicken? Sooner or later one way or another you're going to end up with a backyard rooster. Do you know what happens when you have a backyard rooster? Well you don't sleep too well and your neighbors

are going to call the authorities. And then what do you do with your rooster? Do you kill it? Well that's not legal. No, because it's a pet. You can't kill your pet and they're protected. You cannot kill a male, you know a rooster. So well at least you can give it away, right? You can find somebody who wants to take it. Nope. There are zero places that will take a rooster. Can't give it away, can'…
