ase. Now I would love to know how Starbase was designed because didn't Elon Musk have a lot to do with designing the whole city? It wasn't a nothing until he decided it was a city. So I'd love to know what technique he used to design it to make it livable, because I would imagine some of that is transferable to other places. We'll see. Meanwhile, the Vigilant Fox is reporting over on X that Neil…

But if you follow the experts you're probably going to die. So you've got two ways you're probably going to die: following the experts and ignoring all the experts. Somewhere in the middle where you call your shots and say, "Well, I feel like it's safe enough to follow these experts at least until I find out I shouldn't have. But maybe these other experts I'll take a pass and wait this one out." So that's probably your only way of surviving these days. Got to make your own call which experts to believe, which is almost like doing your own research. So there's basically no way to win.
Speaking of a loss of credibility, John Nolte is writing in Breitbart that Lesley Stahl and Van Jones were on some—I think a lot of you saw the clip on social media—it was some event where a number of news people were yakking about what happened in the election. And according to Lesley and Van Jones, Trump's crushing reelection victory has driven much of the corporate media into despair. No, actually that's I think John Nolte's take on it, that both Lesley Stahl and Van Jones are having a bad time with the fact that the legacy media has been disgraced. And part of the thinking I think on that clip was that it's the change in technology that caused it. So in the 60s the technology allowed you to have a television show. In the 2020s it was easier to do a podcast. So the thinking is that the technology made it possible for all these people to compete with the mainstream media and that's what happened. All the extra competition. Do you think that's the full story? No. As Nolte points out, it's the hoaxes. It's the hoaxes. If the mainstream media had been telling us the truth, or even if they'd been trying to tell us the truth, God I'm wrong, we'd still trust them. I wouldn't need a podcast. No one would need to check the internet for news if the mainstream media were credible.
I mean if I watched it and said, "Oh, at least they're trying to get that right. You know, they're not perfect but they're at least trying to get this right." When I watch the news I don't get the impression they're trying to get it right. I get the impression they're trying to pursue a narrative and propagan

da and brainwash you. I don't get any sense of trying to get it right. But when I watch a podcast, depending on which podcast it is, I often think, "Oh, there's someone who's humble about how much they know and how much they don't know but is trying to get it right." We'll use Joe Rogan as the universal reference. Everybody knows Joe Rogan. Very clearly, you know I can't read minds, but the impres…
