imself if you judge him by modern standards, he was a really bad dude. Like really really bad. The way he treated the native population was sort of just historically unbelievably cruel. I don't want to say however because then it will sound like I'm defending it and it will sound like I'm defending the white guy mistreating the brown people and I'm not doing that. But if you put it in historical c…
← Previous segment →m? Yeah. It's like the end of the world problem. And it would be because in large part because people believe that the climate is going to destroy the planet. So you don't want to put your kids here to get destroyed. So now it may be behind underpopulation. It may the climate models might be behind massive mental health problems. We know that people have all this anxiety if they believe in climate crisis and it might have caused the Palisades fire because it inspired somebody to do something a little bit crazy, a lot crazy. So is it possible that literally no exaggeration that the models have destroyed more of the country and the world than the climate at least change in climate. The change in climate is making things greener and warmer and the gardening better. The climate models are causing us not to reproduce and in one case maybe burning down the city. The models are more dangerous than the climate. Now there's a reframe.
Benny Johnson had some breaking news on that about the fire guy being a radical left-wing eco-terrorist guy.
Well Steven Crowder, you all know Steven Crowder, podcaster, he went into a black barbershop and filmed it and had what looked like a productive conversation with a number of black men who were at the barbershop. They talked about reparations. I don't think let me give Crowder a compliment and then a suggestion. My compliment is that he's another one of those full stack people. He looks like he knows fitness, which is really good if you're going to be on camera. You know your arm should look good. He knows podcasting. He clearly can run a business. He knows politics. So he has a really deep talent stack and it's not a surprise at all that he's doing super well in the podcasting space. He has exactly the right set of talents which my observation is that he has built over time knowing that these would be exactly the talents that he would need for his future life and here he is. So I love the fact that he's doing well because he just did all the right things.
I will say that his persuasion game is not up to where it could be and probably will be because he's a talent adder. So it's not like he's done. He's a young guy. So I feel like he should read "Win Bigly" if he hasn't because I listen to a little bit of his arguments and there's another level like he's solid. He is a good solid debater, but he's more of a debater than he is a persuader. That's what I wanted to say. Yeah he's a good debater because he's always got a response and he's good at talking in public. But that's debate. Debate is a very limited thing. If you're putting on a debate show or debate contest, you know that could be the right thing. But what you really want to do in this domain, if you walk into a black barbershop, I want to persuade them. If you do it as a debate, you already know how it ends. Both sides claim victory, right? That's what a debate always ends in. Both sides claim victory. Every time there's a political debate on TV, at the end who do we say won? Democrats say the Democrat won. Republicans say the Republican won. Debates don't have winners. They just have both sides claim winner. Persuasion can actually move the rock.
If for example Crowder had laid down a sticky reframe then that would even go beyond the content. So maybe the reframe had a little bit effect on the people in the room, maybe it didn't, but it would have a bigger effect on the people watching. They're like, "Oh wow. That was a good way to put that. That was a good way to put that." And then they'll use it. So I would say to Steven Crowder, you have an amazing talent stack and your success is very impressive, you know much better than mine. And just that one thing I would just tune up a little bit on reframing. My other book "Reframe Your Brain" might get you there faster, but "Win Bigly" will teach you persuasion. "Reframe Your Brain" will teach you reframing. And if he adds those two things to his talent stack, unstoppable. He would be just unstoppable.
Well George Clooney has said that raising his children in rural France has been a much better life than they would have had in Los Angeles. Well that's one way to put it. Do you know that if you word that wrong, you get cancelled? Yeah. George Clooney, what were you escaping to go to raise your children in rural France? Well I don't want to say it because I already got cancelled, but no, you're getting away from crime. You're getting away from... Well I don't have to say it. You know he went to where the demographics were friendly to his family. Let's just put it that way. Was that a good idea? Yeah probably if you could afford it. So yes, George Clooney, if you had worded that differently, you'd be as cancelled as I am.
Speaking of cancelled, let's talk about cancer. According to Massimo, good follow on X by the way. Massimo, scientists at the University of Florida, they have believe it or not an mRNA cancer vaccine that erased deadly brain tumors in some early people who had brain tumors. And apparently the vaccine reprogrammed their immune systems within 48 hours and then their own immune system took out the tumors and it worked in like four out of four people I think. Four out of four. It got rid of the tumor, a brain tumor. Four out of four people. Now I guess what they do is they take something from your tumor first and then they deliver it via lipid nanoparticles or something. So it's based on your own specific cancer and body and then they can turn that into a shot on the mRNA platform and then they give it to you and I guess it's already worked on mice and dogs and now on a handful of people and they're movi

ng into phase one pediatric trials. Oh I didn't say. So this is I think for children's brain cancer specifically. Now the way things move slowly, even if this is the magic bullet, it probably won't be available in time to save my life. But this is one of now several different cancer treatments that have something in common, which is they take something from your body and then they build up a spec…
