"The Future"Good day.
We had a bit of a kerfuffle this morning.
I like that word.
I'm not even sure what it means, but I like it.
A little bit of a glitch.
I noticed that the date was wrong.
The time was wrong, and I'm wondering, where is everybody?
And it was because of the input.
I thought, ah, yes.
The input got me thinking.
Show of hands.
When you get up in the morning, I don't know about you, but I start looking through things.
I kind of start going through various news sources and I go through this thing.
It's not a synchronized, deliberate, you know, start with this, this, and this.
I kind of see what people are saying, what's happening.
And as soon as I get upset, I stop, I put on music, I feel great.
It's absolutely 100%.
This morning, Don't ask me what lures me into it.
Thank God for Spotify.
I think it's the greatest invention of my lifetime.
Spotify to me.
You know, I liked Pandora for a while, but it's not the same.
Spotify is just, oh my God.
My list, my...
If I program the station with my music, it reminds me of the old days.
The old great, great days.
And...
I listened to, I was listening to Tony Joe White.
Remember, poke salad, Annie, get your voodoo and homemade ice cream and all this, that sound.
And all of a sudden, everything that I was feeling, this kind of a, just went away.
Isn't that something?
No drugs, music.
No pills or exercise, nothing.
Just Listening to a sound, what we call music, just changed it.
And I want you to do me a favor and know how to change the channel.
If you follow this every step of the way, you will lose your mind.
Seriously.
If you don't know how to get away from this, and you're always looking for this thing called balance, I can't say it enough.
I cannot say it enough.
And in my attempt to always remind myself of what I'm thinking and what's happening, I've got to remind myself...
Nobody said this would ever make any sense.
There's no meritocracy to this.
I did a brand new video, one I've wanted to do for the longest time.
And it counters this idea that you can do anything you want.
For some reason, people will say that you can do anything you want.
And it's called Rational Motivation and Inspiration.
Rational.
And I hope you subscribe to this channel because I've got some others that are coming up.
And it's almost what you need to know.
It's a spiritual healing.
Because I'm convinced right now that what I'm doing is I'm like a dog following the car.
Remember when dogs would chase cars?
I don't see that anymore.
I do not see this.
Remember there were dogs that chased cars.
We had them in our neighborhood and I never understood.
What is the purpose?
You know what they say.
Things that don't last long.
Drunks and whatever it is.
And dogs that chase cars.
For some reason or another, reasons I shan't ever know, they don't do that anymore.
But I found myself thinking, this is what I'm doing.
I'm just joining the other pack of varmints.
Chasing the dogs.
I'm letting other people determine the, I guess, the level of importance.
And I'm following suit.
I don't want to talk about that.
They're missing the point.
I turn that off.
It's like that Drake, that emote.
I turn it off.
I don't watch it anymore.
That's not what's happening.
And one of the things I wanted to tell you, first of all, is How do you turn things off?
Why do I say this?
I'm always analyzing the computer.
Why is this coming in so slow?
Why can't I get this?
How many have VPNs?
VPNs are great, especially if you are in some strange place in a hotel and whatever.
You're in some public place.
You don't want somebody getting in.
And sometimes they're very, very important.
I have a friend of mine who actually will buy airplane tickets because he gets a better deal if he's from someplace else.
You know, Algerians get better.
I never thought about that.
So according to his world, he appears to be someplace else.
So it's not so much that he's blocking them, but he's not here.
So nobody's able to, not only are they not able to tap into what he's doing, he appears someplace else.
It's a wonderful thing.
And they're very important.
Also, if you want to, how do I say this?
It's very important.
By the way, virtual private network, someone asked, what's a VPN?
It describes the opportunity to establish a protected network connection when using public networks.
VPNs encrypt your internal traffic and disguise your online identity.
This makes it more difficult for third parties to track your activities and steal data.
Isn't that interesting?
VPN.
Virtual Private Network.
Now.
Now.
Sounds like a good idea.
But then sometimes you find out, wait a minute, I can't sign up for anything.
My thing's not working.
I don't understand what's happening here.
My system's not working.
It's not working.
And they'll say, do you have a VPN on?
Well, yes.
Ah.
What do you mean, ah?
It'll slow things down.
It'll confuse.
So turn it off.
Turn it off.
Yes.
Then I'm always trying to figure out, well, why is my Wi-Fi not working so well?
What's going on?
And I'm always looking at meters.
And I wish I could do this to people.
I wish I could go up to people and say, let me see how your Wi-Fi is.
Let me see how your Wi-Fi...
Let me see how your...
How are you doing on your Wi-Fi?
That's the thing I want to know.
How are you doing?
So I can just connect with people and say, oh my god, look, you're not moving.
You're not talking to your system.
Computers are an analogy, an analog for everything.
Everything that I do is like somebody's on a computer.
Their activity, look!
Look how this is drawing power.
Look!
You've got too many windows open.
Shut them down.
It's drawing too much power.
You can't focus.
You can't multitask.
How's your ram?
No, no, no.
That's who we are.
So we get up in the morning, and what do we do?
We're bombarded with things that other people determine.
Things that other folks set in terms of the priority.
Does that make sense to you?
I'm not letting people do that.
I'm determining what it is.
But then you ask, but where do I go?
Where do I get the information?
How do I know what it is?
That sounds great.
That sounds terrific.
But what do I do?
Where do I go?
Ah!
That's a tough one.
How is your mental health?
How is your mental health?
I'm serious.
I'm not trying to be rude.
How is your mental health?
How many of you fine, fine folks?
How many of you fine, fine folks suffer from...
You don't have to raise your hand.
But dyslexia...
In the weird processing of things, I read one time where reading is the most unnatural thing that we do.
And it's very natural for you not to process it.
It's very unnatural for you to be able to read because it's the strangest thing in the world.
We're constantly taking things in.
And everywhere I go, I see somebody who are news dyslexic, issue dyslexic.
They don't see it.
They invert it.
And it's very difficult being the only person on the planet who knows what's going on.
Oh, I admit it.
I'm the only person who knows what is happening.
The only person.
That is who I am.
The only person.
And I just did a brand new...
Oh, I do so many...
I have friends of mine.
I speak at a much different level and basis on my private channel.
There's my link if you would like to subscribe.
I speak to a different group.
This is more...
This is more general admission.
Not PG.
Rated G. This is more...
I don't want to frighten people.
You've got to be careful.
For the frightening stuff, I do that elsewhere.
I wish I could introduce you to my friends.
I wish I could show you.
Look what I learned.
And you probably know them too.
The people who don't know anything.
The people who are not able to prioritize.
We are a member of an organization, by the way.
We're one of the...
One of the people in charge will not answer an email and will not answer the phone.
I want to start right there.
Have you ever seen this?
They do not answer the phone.
And that is so incredibly fascinating in terms of what a wonderful analog for everything.
They don't answer the phone.
They're not home and they don't answer the phone.
How many Folks, how many of your representatives, how many of your elected officials answer to you?
Answer!
Do they know you're alive?
They want your vote.
Do they know you're alive?
They'll send you something in the mail.
Do they ever do anything for you?
No!
I don't think so.
Look at what's going on.
What do they do for you?
How do we process all this?
That is what I'm trying to provide to you.
I'm trying to provide you a way of thinking and a way of understanding what is happening right now.
Because this is everything is transitory.
Everything that we're doing right now is just transitory.
It's just happening right now.
And then a week from now, there'll be a new issue and a new person.
And then there's going to be a new administration or a new governor or whatever it is.
But this remains the same.
Am I making any sense to you?
Am I making sense to you?
No.
Look at this.
Close the curtains and just live your life.
Ignore the rest.
I like that.
Fine.
Not every day.
Someday, as the frequencies target the psyche.
I like that.
You are right, Raphael.
That's why I am here.
Because you're real.
Notice, you put your...
Laura puts her period outside of the quotes.
That's called the Oxford quote, I believe.
I put my period inside the quotes.
Periods and commas inside the quotes.
Colons and semicolons outside.
We debate this on a regular basis.
Did you know that?
Did you know that?
I love this.
I love debating things.
Different rules, different things.
I love the rules of grammar.
I follow all kinds of proofreading pieces.
They're so terrific.
Now before I begin, I want to talk to you about a couple of things here.
Number one, this is so important.
Because...
Depending upon where you are, you know, there's certain things that we always think are going to be here.
One is water, electricity, and food.
Remember, food, water, energy.
And that's why I want to bring to your attention my Patriot Supplies.
Ladies and gentlemen, you are so wise, you are so smart, you are so understanding.
I don't have to tell you.
The importance of food preparedness.
There is nothing daft about it.
There is nothing eschatological.
No end of times reference there.
Though it could be.
It could be.
It is merely preparing yourself in the event of an emergency.
What would you do if you had a fire on your stove right now?
Do you have a fire extinguisher?
There's this wonderful rag I saw.
This thing, you throw it on and just...
Have you thought about that?
Most people have nothing.
They don't think.
It doesn't mean you're paranoid.
You're just saying, in the event I need something, here is a fire extinguisher.
What do you do?
Let's say something just catches.
Boom!
It goes up.
What do you do?
Have you thought about that?
My Patriot Supplies deals with a very simple question and handles it very, very intelligently.
And you being intelligent will absolutely see immediately as to the sagacity of such.
It's that simple.
And it is just, just all it is, is right now, there is a $250 deduction off, what am I trying to say?
You could save $250.
Off of a three-month emergency food kit.
Think about this.
It has each of these units 2,000 calories a day, 25-year shelf life, breakfast, lunches, dinners, drinks, and snacks, resealable, heavy-duty four-layer pouches with oxygen absorbers.
It weighs 120 pounds.
Made in the USA.
No MSG added.
Six rugged, water-resistant buckets.
They're very, they're about like 9, like 10 by 12 by 15. They're just, you know, they're not.
That's it.
You stack them up, you leave them, and you're fine.
One friend of mine stacks them like he does ammunition or cans.
This is it.
So that's it.

And look at all of which is being offered by these wonderful folks, including, by the way, the biggest seller are the slippers.
Okay.
Now, I want to tell you something that I have to turn off most.
I do not watch.
I do not watch.
I cannot watch anything, even remotely.
That is a news I cannot watch.
Sunday, no.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
No, nothing.
I have to always filter.
I'm always taking my VPN.
I'm changing the way I look at it.
No, I'm not going to like this.
No, let me see what this means.
Okay, okay, okay.
I've got it.
And the people who are commenting on this are the least interesting to me.
Because I'm sorry we have a lot of children.
With all due respect to children, you know, maybe children might be better because they would be, I think, a little bit more rational than what we're seeing right now.
But I just can't take it.
I can't take the usual suspects telling me the usual things.
I just...
I can't take it.
And the hardest thing is, yesterday I spent so much time, so...
It was a wonderful day listening to...
The words of Richard Feynman, the great physicist, Nobel laureate, one of the greatest minds ever who loved to.
He loved safe cracking.
And then after the shuttle disaster, they asked him, would you...
Help us.
Would you use that incredible mind of yours to get to the bottom of what happened to the challenger?
What happened?
We need your help.
And he said, okay.
And then he met politics.
And he couldn't believe it.
Because he lived in a world that was a bit detached from William Rogers and NASA and PR.
And he had no...
Earthly idea of what this even means.
He could not believe what was happening.
Could not.
He could not believe it.
And he was shocked.
And he said, but don't you want to find the truth?
Well, not necessarily.
Well, don't you want to just get to the bottom of this?
Well, maybe yes, maybe no.
And he couldn't believe it.
And I thought to myself, oh God, he's perfect.
He wanted to play the bongos.
He was one of the most incredibly sheer, brilliant people.
And we celebrated brilliant.
Let me ask you a question.
There was a time in this country where we actually used to have these people on that were brilliant.
And we loved to have them on.
They were called the intellectuals.
And they were people from everybody from Gore Vidal to Norman Mailer to...
Carl Sagan to Feynman we loved, and the biggest hit of them all, a monster, the biggest star was Einstein.
Nobody knew exactly what he, nobody knew about relativity and electromagnetic, but they knew he was special.
Here's my question to you.
Who is, or who are, the preeminent intellectuals today?
Who?
Who are the...
People that we go to, to listen.
Because there is, by the way, YouTube is so replete with some of the most beautiful and the most incredible.
I was watching something yesterday.
Alan Alda.
World, what's it called?
World Science.
It's Brian Green's name.
And he was talking about consciousness.
Have you ever spent any time listening?
To the lectures available on consciousness.
And they will have for you, right before you, they will have physicists from here, and neuroanatomists here, and neurologists here, and they're talking about what is consciousness.
Have you ever done this?
Have you ever said, have you ever listened to the studies behind this?
Somebody who just wants to say, this is what I want to talk about.
You should hear the debates that are going on regarding not so much the existence of God, but whether intelligent design is actually seen in DNA and the like.
Still going on.
But you're going to be hard-pressed to know where to look for that.
And we're not talking about some...
You know, theologian, we're talking about scientists.
Because people say, you know, trust the science.
One thing about science is this incredulity.
You always have to ask yourself, what does this mean?
What is this all about?
And what is consciousness?
And they're debating consciousness.
Uncommon knowledge.
Thank you, Paul.
I love it.
I love uncommon knowledge.
With Peter Robinson.
Victor Davis Hanson, I really like a lot of what he's trying to do in terms of historical.
I just like him.
What happens?
What happens?
Oftentimes is when somebody finds themselves in the position of being the star, then they lose something, at least for me.
And I don't want to go into details who is who, but the idea of somebody giving you a perspective.
Now, remember, an intellectual does not necessarily mean an academician.
It doesn't mean necessarily somebody who holds themselves up.
That's not it.
That's not it.
And there were folks who were, who seemed to be intellectual.
William F. Buckley, Gore Vidal, because they speak in that mid-Atlantic accent.
They spoke in a particular way.
I'm not going to argue who and what is an intellectual because we can get into the whole notion of that.
But let me ask you this question about consciousness.
What is it?
What is it?
Let me try this again.
They still don't know.
When you are awake, here you are.
I'm talking to you and I think you're conscious.
You know where you are.
You know where you are, what you're doing.
You're aware.
You're aware of who you are.
You're aware.
How do you know you exist?
Does a bee know it exists, or does a bee just merely?
Look, we don't know.
To know you exist.
To be aware of your existence.
That's so heady, it's not even funny.
Does a barnacle know that?
No.
When somebody is unconscious, I'm sorry, he's unconscious.
What does that mean?
You can hook him up to brain activity.
He said, it's still working.
His brain's working.
Goes back to my computer analogy.
There's stuff working.
No, it's not.
No, it's working.
Then I get into what's life and brain death and heart death.
And then when you go to sleep at night, right, right before, right before, when you are asleep, before you dream, when you are in a dream, in a non-dream state, which is right away.
Dreams come later.
In a non-dream state, as when you are in general anesthesia, that is called unconscious.
But are you?
What is turned off and what is turned on?
And this may surprise you.
It did me whenever I first heard it.
They don't know.
They really don't know.
What do you mean you don't know?
I don't know.
I know one is there.
I know no one is there.
It's like that thing's not here.
What is it?
It's this thing.
Here it is now.
Okay.
What is it?
I don't know.
It's not here anymore.
What?
That thing.
Okay.
That's consciousness.
Now you can talk about this.
You can say, why is he talking about this?
Because...
The debates go on forever.
And Alan Alda, to his credit, talked about the and still talks about this incredibly fascinating these questions.
I was listening to It's called World Science Festival.
World Science Festival.
And it is wonderful.
Here's Alan Alda discussing why Einstein hated quantum mechanics, what was before the Big Bang, aliens, the universe, cosmology.
Have you ever heard...
Lenny Suskind or Suskind.
This is Leonard Suskind.
He's quantum mechanics and Hawking radiation.
Here is the thing which is the most interesting.
And I'm going to say this just for me.
I can't speak for anybody else.
I can't.
But I love to hear things I never knew about.
I, to show you how weird...
You ready for this?
You're going to think this is weird.
And I recognize that fact.
But sometimes I love to hear people speak languages.
I can't.
I love to hear them speak in a language.
And I don't understand what it is.
But they're talking and they're laughing.
I'm thinking, this is incredible.
I don't know what they're talking about.
Spend time doing it.
Just a little bit.
Try to figure it out.
Don't read the subtitles.
Say, don't...
Get out of the crossword puzzle.
Listen to this.
Can you pick out accents?
Can you pick your...
I just...
Oh my God, I love it.
I love to hear...
You know, foreign news is interesting.
We on it like quite a bit.
Palki Sharma is on a new...
What's it called?
First one, whatever.
I love to hear Indian news and presentations.
I love to hear French.
I love to hear anything.
Tell me the news from your point of view.
And here is the thing that I wish I could convey to you.
If I can convey to you this one thing, just this one thing, you will be the richest person who's ever lived.
This one thing.
And that is not so much curiosity, but an appreciation for how Brilliant things are.
And how fascinating.
Not just to be curious.
No, no, no, no.
Keep going.
Do you see how interesting this is?
This is fascinating.
Keep going.
Keep going.
It's like a Mandelbrot fractal.
Keep going.
Keep going.
I don't care if it's bread rising to balloons.
Whatever.
I don't care what it is.
Nobody would ever let me do this, but I would love to go on various news channels and break down what it is that they do.
Let me tell you what they do.
And I always have this analogy.
I always do this.
This is my, what is it, Gedanken experiment, my thought experiment that Einstein called it.
If I were, ask yourself this, if you were, if you were, if you were meeting somebody from another planet, some life form, and went with you, and you said, For example, what are you doing?
I'm going to take you to a Sunday bakery.
We're going to walk in.
If it's an old-fashioned one, and there's this one place in Hackensack where they still sell crumb cake, it's an old bakery.
Or is it H&K or B&K?
I forget what.
It's an old, it's a real, it's not Hackensack.
It's a Hackensack, right?
B&K.
You pull the little tab and you wait.
Imagine!
What are you doing?
I've got my number.
What does that mean?
This provides...
The level of order.
This tells me I'm number 28. They're calling number 15. We've got a while to go.
This is so we don't kill each other because people will be charging.
This prevents riots.
This piece of paper.
This little stupid thing is like a traffic cop.
It tells you, you go when it's your time.
If we didn't have that, forget it.
People could not be saying, well, after you.
No, you were here for it.
No, no, no, no, no.
This device.
It's still, from a design point of view, perfect.
Now, see that stuff there?
Everybody likes this.
And Sundays are important because normally people get together.
Sunday is a very important day.
Sunday.
Well, Sunday is the last day of the week.
What does that mean?
We artificially come up with this.
Monday through Sunday.
We have seven days.
We just artificially created this.
A week could have been 30 days.
Well, whatever.
We pick seven.
This is it.
Okay, fine.
And I'm sure there's some rotational.
Whatever it is.
Anyway, big deal.
Now, we see something.
You like that?
Good.
You like that crumb cake?
Good.
Now, take this and show and prove you're the number one, that person.
Then you're going to get done, and then you're going to pay them.
You're going to hand this person something that we have artificially, artificially described as being of worth.
It's the first thing, the first thing that humans had to do.
We couldn't just trade stuff.
Trading doesn't work.
It wouldn't work.
I want the crumb cake.
What do you have?
I got a silver.
Here's a silver coin.
You know a silver coin?
No, it's too much.
Um...
*sniff* I'm not.
It doesn't work.
So we come up with this.
This is...
It's a...
It's a doodad.
And five doodads do a don't-dad.
And we just do this.
And we convey this.
And this keeps the world in order.
And what is the value of this?
Whatever we say it is.
Whether it's Bitcoin, Dogecoin, whether it's a dollar, a franc, a Deutschmark, whether it's a gold standard or not, whether it's a...
Chip at a casino.
It doesn't matter.
We say this is worth something.
And that's it.
Is it worth something?
No!
But we just say it is because of our order.
And we artificially create this where if you get a bunch of these, you can buy a lot of stuff or one big thing if you have a lot of these.
And if you work eight hours a day, we'll give you a certain amount of these, and if you save them, and then the government will come and take these from you in order for it theoretically to run, to run, to do things to maintain your government.
You know, picking up trash and streetlights and the police.
That's what it's supposed to do, but it doesn't work like that.
All that from buying a crumb cake in Hackensack.
You've got to explain this.
It's the most incredible thing in the world.
Just go and just sit.
Pull up a folding chair, ask the owner, do you mind if I sit here?
And look at these people.
Imagine you're talking to these people and say, by the way, have you noticed something else?
A lot of these people, they shouldn't be eating this.
What do you mean?
This is really not good stuff to eat.
What do you mean?
Well, it tastes good.
But it's calorie dense and it's just not good.
Why do you do that?
Because we like it.
But don't humans know it makes them fat?
Yes.
Don't they care?
No.
Go off into that one.
Why don't they do it?
Because they don't.
Pleasure outweighs practical applications of health and also the problems that are associated with health are so far off you don't really feel them.
So consequently, eh, we don't care about that.
Take him to a church.
Take him to a wedding.
Take him to a funeral.
Take this person.
You're going to see stuff you can't believe.
Take him to a football game.
Just go to a mall.
Just look at people.
Go and look.
Everything you do.
Imagine sitting there.
You're watching this.
Whatever the news event is, you can say, now watch this, Mr. Whatever it is.
Here is an event that happened.
Here is this platform, this television show is going to be, let's say, you know, I'm Jackie Verna here.
This version is going to do it.
Now, look how they take this on this one.
See?
Same event, different people.
That's based upon either political and or societal frame of reference.
And they do that because the people...
Who watch this tend to agree with this ideology, so consequently they'll find those people.
Well, why do they agree with that in the first place?
Because they've studied it?
No.
That's another issue.
We don't know.
And that comes down to the epistemology of how do you know what you know?
We don't know why that is.
We don't know how you know.
We don't know.
I just took you from buying crumb cake in Hackensack to watching news.
Everything is fascinating.
How do we do that?
How do we do this?
Then we get into design.
Design.
Let me show you something right now.
One of the greatest things...
Where is this?
Ah!
This is one of the greatest pieces of design ever.
This is a paper clip.
I can talk about this thing forever.
This is so smart.
This little tensile.
This is brilliant.
It's a little one.
A couple of pieces of paper.
Put it together.
And we've been using this design forever.
Oh, we've got these clip things now, but whatever it is.
This is one of the greatest things that humans have ever done.
You can't improve upon this.
You can.
You can have different ones, but not this.
We are brilliant.
But we're also kind of dumb.
Because we used to have a thing called suitcases and we never put wheels on them until fairly recently.
After all these years, nobody put wheels.
Even though humans love to talk about, well, the creation of the wheel.
We always talk about that.
Since man created the wheel, the wheel was so smart.
We make tools.
Humans are so smart.
Oh, the bonobo uses tools.
We use tools.
Except wheels on a suitcase.
We're lugging this thing.
Do you ever see on TV when they pick up suitcases?
They're empty.
Rosalind Russell has two or three suitcases.
She's not carrying anything.
Yeah, nothing.
Do you ever see on TV also when they smoke and they don't exhale?
That drives me crazy.
This is genius.
But we didn't put wheels on a suitcase.
And we did put wheels, but we don't have the rotating wheels.
Now we can push them.
Now we're taking stuff.
That you can't even believe.
We're taking people, humans.
And then they say, we're going to charge you by the pound.
Wait a minute.
In the old days, people would say, I can't take all this.
Why?
Because I can't carry it.
So they had to be very careful.
We're going to take a few things because I can't lug it.
Well, now that we can lug everything, we put everything.
Go to like a TJ Maxx or whatever and look into the luggage part and you will be nonplussed.
By how big these things are.
You'll think, dear God, you could take families in this thing.
How did that come about?
Brilliant.
Sorry.
Sorry.
Go to a music store?
Oh my God.
Look how many ways we come up to make music.
Look, we love music.
Explain music.
Why?
We don't know what this is about.
We don't know what it is.
Somebody a long time.
Somebody must have started whistling or doing something.
Or we don't know how it happens.
But we believe that there's something in humans that evolves.
If you put humans in a closet, they were raised with no human interference.
Let's say it would be terrible if you took children where they never had any human interaction.
You fed them and you changed them and you washed.
But that was it.
They would have come up with their own language.
Animals don't do that.
Animals don't have language.
We have a language.
They communicate.
We have language.
We have verb syntax, expressions, euphemisms.
We can talk in a million different ways.
We have that.
We also have humor.
We will laugh, unless there's something wrong with us.
And we also have competition in sports.
Somebody somewhere will be sitting on a campfire, they're eating a chicken bone or something and they throw it, and the other person will say, I can throw that.
Farther than you can.
It just happens.
We just do these things.
We're competitive.
We will create artificial systems of competition called sports.
We just do it.
And then we break off into teams.
And no matter what you do, we do this.
Then we do something which I personally don't understand.
Dance.
Dance is something I don't get.
I don't know what that is.
But you can call it art.
An artist, when man wants to express him or herself in a way that is different other than mere communication.
Something symbolic, something that says we are here, they just do stuff.
Somebody will make a basket and somebody next to him will say, you know, that's pretty good.
Thank you.
I can make another one.
You know, I took the old basket design and I changed the handle structure.
Oh my God, he's so good at that.
What else can you do?
Funny as you'd say.
I have made stuff that you don't really need.
You just look at it.
And art was born.
It's who we are.
It's unbelievable when you stop.
So whenever you're feeling rough, whenever you're feeling like, I can't do this anymore, stop.
Stop.
Go to YouTube.
Listen to a lecture on something that you never thought anything about.
Have you ever seen this wonderful nannas or nonnas teaching you Italian food?
Have you ever seen this?
It's the greatest thing in the world.
These Italian women teaching you how to make pesto sauce, they're like 150 years old.
They're from, you know, Sardinia or Palermo.
And it's the most...
And I have a weakness for old...
I love old grandma women.
I know it sounds strange, but I mean, I just...
I revere them.
You have no idea.
They are the pinnacle.
Not old men.
Old men don't do anything for me.
Old grandmothers, it's the purity of the power of women without the, they've lost all that stuff that gets in the way.
Also, children are perfectly pure because they don't know hate.
They're just fun and they love you and they don't know anything.
They're perfect.
So children, And old women.
Everything in between, not interested.
I have no interest in them.
There was nothing like if you're lucky enough to have a grandmother who wears an apron.
You know what I mean?
One of those types.
Like an Aunt Bee kind of, sort of.
I never understood Aunt Bee either.
Have you?
Where does she come from?
Hello, Andy!
Where did that...
She's somebody's cousin?
Because Andy...
I know you're thinking he's talking about Andy Griffith.
I know.
That's the way I think.
Sorry.
If I never understood Aunt B, before I go, I want to say, explain that one to me.
Because Andy, remember, the only one on the Andy Griffith show who was happily married was Otis, the town drunk.
Think about that one.
So, my friends, today, I don't know what you want to do.
Linda says, the Beatles changed music forever for the best.
Sorry, Lionel, I know you are not a great fan.
I'm not a great fan.
I just don't overreact.
I don't think...
I think what they did was very important.
I just...
Same thing with Elvis.
I know Elvis was critical.
I know Tommy Dorsey was a critical.
But, I mean, I...
Laura says, I love dancing and live music.
Going to...
Coachella and camping again with my daughter.
See, that's beautiful.
If you said camping to me, camping to me would be like saying, take this pencil and put it right in the corner of your eye and push as far...
No.
Camping?
Outside?
On the ground?
No.
Going with your daughter?
Yes.
It's a good point.
Dancing.
Cicero said, no sane man will dance.
Mayberry.
My grandma passed last month, age 93. See, that's beautiful.
Those are just the...
And I had the...
We had a nonna.
Not a nonna.
That's more Italian.
We had like the Sicilian.
And her sisters.
They're just the...
They're the best.
They're just...
There's something so, so beautiful.
And I don't care a race, country, gender...
Well, not gender, but just...
And yet, they did not have any of the frivolity that normally accompanies.
It's like you...
They got to the point where they're saying, oh my god, I'm getting old.
Oh my god, I don't want to have gray hair.
Then they go, ah, the hell with it.
They just said, the hell with it.
And they all of a sudden started dressing like grandmothers.
This is the thing.
Did you ever see a grandma with jeans?
No!
They wore a sensible dress.
And those shoes.
And they have a chignon.
And they wore that curly, you know, that...
Grandma hair.
You know, they just get this look.
Big glasses.
You know what I mean?
They just all do this.
And they are just...
Oh my God.
I watch...
YouTube is still the greatest.
Old women making naan bread or whatever it is.
It's the most incredible thing in the world.
I'm telling you.
I could sit and I could just...
There used to be a program years ago we had in the court system where young women, women who had children, people who had problems with dependencies and neglect, they would bring these retired kind of grandmothers who didn't have a family who would go into homes free of charge and teach young ladies how to make a meal for their kid, how to change diapers and do wash.
How many people do you have?
Is there a man here who has never done wash?
I don't think I ever saw my father.
I loved him dearly.
Ever do wash.
Ever cook anything.
Never.
And it wasn't because he didn't want to.
It just didn't do it.
Are your young men in particular, and women, self-sufficient?
I've always been.
We've always been.
Always.
We always knew how to do it.
I know how to do that.
Can you do what?
Yes.
Can you cook?
Yes.
And it wasn't this thing where you had to, I'm going to teach you how to do this.
No!
We knew how to do this.
It was a different kind of world.
I don't understand it.
People who, you know, strictured, structured, you're a man, you don't do this, women do it.
I think that's ridiculous.
I think there's something very, very strange about that.
Anyway, speaking about very, very strange, I would be most careless if I don't tell you something, my friends.
This, as you know, is a time for you to recognize a couple of things.
No matter how great and wonderful you are, you are not eating right.
You are under incredible stress.
You don't do the right things.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
There are loads of immunodeficiency problems out there.
There are like, what, how many flu tests?
There's just so much stuff.
You need all the help you can get.
And that's why I'm telling you, a bottle of Z-Stack makes so much sense.
And all in one, you want to call it immune boosting?
Good.
Why?
Because guess what happens?
You have to feed and you're not feeding yourself correctly.
I guarantee you.
A super formula that helps keep flus and viruses in your body ready to go.
And, like I tell you, what's so great about Z-Stack is very simply this.
You can get it for kids as well.
You can get the gummy version.
I like that.
That's very, very nice.
But one bottle of Z-Stack has what do you need?
For example, zinc, vitamin C, Vitamin D, you know how much I love D, and plant-based nutrients, phytonutrient, bioavailable, such as quercetin.
Read it.
Bioflavonoids.
Go there.
Go right now to this site.
Use this link.
Read for yourself.
Read it.
Question what I'm saying.
Go and look.
You'll say, you know, this makes sense.
Of course it makes sense.
That's why I'm telling you.
Go there now.
And guy it.
What does that mean?
Sounds like by it, which is what I meant to say.
And by the way, speaking of this, and I will never, ever, ever forget, the day I happened to say, have you ever heard of, oh, I don't know, EMPs?
Everybody said, of course.
Electromagnetic pulse?
Of course.
You have no idea how many times when we're out at some place, I'm saying, by the way, Dave, have you ever heard of an EMP attack?
The MP?
I was in the army.
No, no.
EMP.
EMP?
Is that a grocery store?
No.
Electromagnetic pulse?
Uh...
Well, I don't have to tell you what that means, but it's pretty, pretty serious.
And there right now is a veteran-owned company in the Midwest called EMP Shield, and they've invented a device that you can hook up to your vehicle or your home that will protect you against the threat of an EMP.
And it's undergone testing at Keystone Compliance, which is a military-certified facility, and listed by the Department of Homeland Security.
And it has devices that can protect you, not just your vehicle or your home, but your generator, solar system, ham radio, RV, and much more.
So here is the link.
And again, I ask you, go.
Use this link.
And I'm telling you, if you're using a phone, make sure you hit more.
Please, read this.
Check this.
See for yourself it makes implicit, total, beautiful sense.
That's it!
EMP Shield, there it is.
They support us and we support them.
You got it?
Good.
Linda says, men have to be taught by their parents to work inside and outside of the house.
You know, I think it's important for people to know whether you're a man or a woman or whatever, just certain things rather than I don't define them in terms of what is and isn't, how do I say this, you know, ladies' work or women's work or anything like that.
I don't understand that, especially now when you look at, and there's one thing that YouTube has done which is terrific.
There are so many men, so many men, so many great, great, great chefs cooking and showing you everything that you can do at home.
Very, very simple.
And that is tremendous.
Alright?
By the way, let me just say something right now.
I'm going to put this up.
This is Mrs. L's YouTube channel.
I've got a brand new one up.
Please.
Her presentations are brilliant.
She does a radio show that is so good.
And I'm not...
Actually, two?
What am I saying?
And there's one in particular, I'm not going to mention any names, of somebody who says, Come on, guys!
Oh, my God!
Oh, no, no, no!
Hers is absolutely the most beauteous when it comes to that.
Anyway, so my friends, maintain today your sanity.
Maintain your...
And the fact that there's only 153 likes is frankly something which is, I think, inescapable.
Yeah.
153.
What are you going to do?
What are you going to do?
I'm not going to beg.
I'm not going to be one of these people that begs, but there you go.
Alright, my dear friends.
I want you to have a great and glorious day.
Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy the day.
Enjoy your health.
And also, find something.
Find a topic.
Find something which you do not know is...
How do I say this?
That you will find is brilliant, beauteous, and something that is...
something that is intellectually stimulating.
That's all.
Just for the sake of knowing it.
All right, my friends, have a great and glorious day.
Don't ever change.
I mean that sincerely.
We'll be back tomorrow at 9 a.m. Eastern Time.
Until then, remember this particular valedictory, this denouement, so to speak.
The monkey's dead.
The show's over.
Suya.
