I want you to imagine you are sitting next to somebody who is from another planet, another system, whatever you want to call it, and you're explaining about how we work.
And you're trying your best to tell this person, what is it that we do?
Who are we?
You're kind of like the docent, so to speak, for human beings.
And what would you say?
You say, well, first, we are on a retrograde slide into the abyss.
We are really, really, really retrograde.
We're really not doing very well.
We are simply not doing very well.
And the reason why is for a variety of reasons.
Number one, Americans, and I've got to be fair, because I don't travel the world, so I can't really speak about other parts of the world.
But I will tell you this.
In some respects, With the exception of music, I think the most incredible thing that we do is music.
Music is our...
It's the only redeeming quality that humans have.
Music.
That's it.
It's the only redeeming quality.
Everything else is just a complete and total waste.
That is wonderful.
And if ever there is reason to rejoice, if you listen to Spotify or any of the algorithmic types of things, and even YouTube, you're seeing...
So much great music.
In fact, years ago, I remember having these debates on conventional terrestrial talk radio, which is so useless.
Such a waste of time.
It is so, it is so, it is so bad.
It is so devoid.
It is so, I sent David Limbaugh.
Rush's brother, just a little I am.
I said how much I appreciated working with Rush and how much I loved him and how transcendental Rush was.
He really was.
He was transcendental.
We don't see this anymore.
We're seeing it a little bit in some pockets of streaming, but not really.
But still, still.
But humans, Americans, I'll just stick with that, are, first of all, devolving.
They're incurious.
They're unable to appreciate anything abstract.
They're not able to go beyond the obvious.
The closest thing that humans ever get to is religion.
The closest thing, and that is the acceptance of dogma and theology that is presented accordingly.
That's what it does.
It presents it accordingly.
That is it.
It does not lend itself to a lot of questioning.
One thing about religion, do not question it.
Do not question it.
Do not challenge it.
Do not.
Either you accept it or you don't.
And if you don't accept it, you're an atheist.
If you're an atheist, well, there's no hope for you at all.
Period.
There's no hope for you.
Because you will be considered, in our world, at least Americans do, they believe that if you do not have an accepted theology or faith system that you have accepted, you're going to go out and kill and rape and pillage.
People believe that the only thing holding together a society is religion.
When in fact it's religion, as many people suggest, which is the cause, and the Source of so many problems.
But when it comes to critical thinking, forget it.
When it comes to imagination, forget it.
When it comes to that, absolutely not.
We are unable to understand two seemingly inconsistent...
This is what Fitzgerald said.
The sign of a great mind is to be able to appreciate two seemingly inconsistent ideas simultaneously and not lose your mind in the interim.
It is something that we grind in.
We have these people who invaded and they are the last vestiges.
They are the most evil people in the world because they are the people on mainstream media news and cable news.
They're removing the stop signs.
Years ago, there was a case where these teenagers thought it would be funny to remove stop signs, which is really tough because they're very deeply embedded in any event.
So, they did this.
And there was this accident where people were killed.
And these teenagers, the judge said, I know these kids didn't want to kill anybody.
I know they thought it was funny because remember when you were a kid, you would do things because your judgment center is just completely your ability to think ahead of time.
But they removed stop signs.
And that's what's happening right now.
There are people in regular news who are removing stop signs, who are trying to put The same people on the show, one in particular, the same people, the same rehash, the same recycle, the same everything, the same frame of sweepers and sounders, and they are removing the stop signs.
And if you want to...
Watch.
For example, Fox News.
They have one person in particular who can't speak English.
Doesn't pluralize words.
I mean, just.
It's basically a...
It says a lot more, and I'll leave it at that.
But it basically says, we don't care about this.
We don't care about this.
Say what you want.
About Piers Morgan or whatever.
The British, for the most part, I mean, they may have somebody with a regional accent.
You might have somebody from Scotland, from Dundee, but they speak English.
We have a major...
They don't even care about people who can speak English.
I mean, think about that.
United States of America, Attorney General.
I mean, just cannot...
That insults me more than anything else.
I don't care whether you don't know anything.
You mean to tell me, out of all the people in the world, you couldn't find somebody who speaks English?
There are people who are migrants who speak better English.
They may have an accent, but they're speaking the word.
That just, you have no idea that would insult me.
Anyway.
But what these people do is they're not telling you, listen, listen to me.
Listen.
Let me explain to you what's happening with Israel and Gaza and Hamas and Palestine.
You will never do this because you've got this group who must maintain the pro-Israel conservative trope.
The tropisms, the memes, the memetics.
They must.
It's clear cut.
Palestinians don't have any position.
They elected Hamas.
They can't bitch about Hamas.
They could have removed Hamas.
Quit your belly aching.
Shut up about Hamas.
It's your fault.
That's it.
Israel's our ally.
That's the way it is.
Shut up.
Hamas, I don't want to hear anything about any claims about people dying, children, hospitals.
If it's true, it's your fault.
We don't have time for that.
That's exactly what they're doing.
This is one particular group of people.
Now, in the others, a little bit, whatever.
I was listening today to one of the best, and I gotta tell you this, I thought it was, sometimes it seemed a bit...
Sometimes a little ditzy, but that's okay.
I'll take it.
You've got Sagar and Crystal.
Breaking points or something.
She is absolutely, adamantly pro-Palestinian.
He is, I think, less so.
Please listen to her to understand her position.
I have to understand the position.
You can't be an illuminated, educated person today if all you know is the Fox News Israel trope.
And I can explain to you the Israel situation absolutely, positively, easily.
But I've got to get a little drawing board, a little dry erase, and I've got to explain it to you.
And I'm telling you, I'm going to lose the audience in 30 seconds because people are stupid.
Stupid!
America is stupid!
Stupid with stupid people and stupid shows and stupid issues.
Dumb, stupid, incurious, unimaginative, stupid.
We love stupid.
Get somebody with the epoxied face.
Bring in some ditzy blonde.
Fake this laugh.
Do this crap.
Have these same recycled perverts.
We are living right now in a world of perversion.
People who, I've never seen it.
I've never seen it.
You know what paraphilia is, right?
That's a better word than perversion.
We are seeing people who are psychosexually screwed up, who cannot maintain any kind of relationship.
Predators in the workplace.
News organizations hiring known sexual predators and then acting aghast when they ply their wares.
It's demented.
It's demented.
News is the worst.
They are pulling up the stop signs.
Their jobs could be, wait a minute, we're here to inform you.
Wait a minute, stop this.
I'm going to do two segments on this.
You can't do two segments.
Why?
Because we don't do two segments.
Let me tell you what Joe Rogan did and Lex Friedman and others.
They'll go an hour and a half of one guy.
Oh, you can't do that.
Yes, you can.
Yes, you can.
No, you can't do that.
You can't sell advertising time because these morons, and by the way, there are recycled, recycled people in these positions hanging on for dear life, being handed a...
It's like, imagine inheriting a discotheque today.
Do we even have them?
I don't think so.
Imagine being inherited or inheriting a kind of a skating rink that has a disco ball.
I think those are big maybe in other countries.
Not now, not here.
That's what these people are.
So you see ABC and NBC and CNN and all these other people.
And the new startups, they're inheriting this, and they're realizing the model's dead.
And not only is the model dead, but the people they put on have no idea about what's going on.
And they're removing the stop signs.
They're making the world safer, or excuse me, more dangerous, because they're not even telling you what to do.
I was watching the Sky News in Australia.
It's funny.
It's kind of funny.
But their whole thing is...
Palestine is wrong.
Or it's all woke and lefties and I've never seen anything like it.
Right now, as you know, and I've said this before, this is one of my passions.
There is an issue right now involving human trafficking and child predation.
Human trafficking is the...
It's the subjugation of the human spirit, the human will, the human freedom by force, coercion, or duress.
And what it is, very specifically, it's a very, very simple thing.
And it works like this.
But before I tell you, I want you to make sure you're listening to this.
To make sure you are paying attention to what's going on.
Make sure you are listening, listening big time.
But understand right now, one of my passions also, Sam Altman, these preppers, and I hate that term, is to prepare yourself in the event of something bad happening.
Food, water, energy, the big three.
And when it comes to food, listen to this.
Patriot, the world at every level and facet is in peril.

Well, as I've told you before, one of the stories which is fascinating to me, which is very, very important, is, of course, child predation.
Human trafficking, child predation.
Forced arrest, coercion, and it's either sexual misadventure and subjugation, there's also labor trafficking, begging, you name it, okay?
But a handful of these types have come together, and they have taken the whole notion of child trafficking, sex trafficking, and the like, CSAM, child sexual abuse material, The introduction of such on various platforms, and they reduced it to the fact of the pedophile.
This is their take.
It's the pedophile.
Got to get those pedos or pedos if you're from the UK.
And that works because it's simple, and it misses the point.
And it is intellectually disingenuous, intellectually misleading, and it throws everything off, and it just says, why are you doing this?
Because I'm getting numbers.
They like that word.
The movement of brave men and women who are trying to save and teach and provide safe houses and rescue children all over the world who are being trafficked either because of debt bondage or whatever.
They're going after the trafficker, not the consumer.
It's the trafficker.
If you want to stop anything on a large scale, you go after the people who are trafficking.
And why do they traffic?
Money.
Money.
It's not because of pedophilia.
Granted, there are people, and this is the best part, and I'm saying this because one day I want somebody to stop me and say, thank you.
I didn't understand this, and you helped me with this, because if you don't understand what you're talking about, if you don't understand the theory, then you're wasting your time.
Rape, the sexual battery against women in this country, is something that is, I don't have to tell you, is horrible.
It is not heterosexuality.
That is the problem.
It is not same-sex fantasies.
That is the problem.
Nobody says we have to get after these heteros.
These heteros.
You wouldn't even think about it.
You'd go, no, because what?
Because you have to, well, heterosexuality is, quote, normal.
No, it's not the individual.
It's the predation part.
You wouldn't talk about heterosexuals.
Of course not, because you're one of them for the most part, if you're like most people.
But when it comes to children, they talk about pedophiles.
That's the problem.
So if we go after these pedophiles and we go after people who have ideations of children, that'll be the problem.
No!
It's the people who victimize children.
It's the people who sell children into slavery and women and families and others.
But that doesn't sell.
Because in America, people are stupid.
They don't think.
They don't understand that.
Give them a name.
Give them something that clicks.
We are a country that loves phrases.
That's amazing.
This is amazing.
Amazing.
It's not amazing.
Awesome.
Hilarious.
We will get a word.
We will get a phrase.
Something that works.
Whenever you look at any kind of YouTube creating stuff, the creators, and they'll find...
Find a word that works.
And the word is, I will never forget.
Never.
All of a sudden, one day, I did this, I don't know, subject on, remember the Atlantis sub?
Remember the sub that took these millionaires or billionaires or whatever it is and they took them on a sub and it blew up and it was just horrible, okay?
And I thought, alright.
I'm going to do something about it.
I don't even know why I did it.
I just did it.
Holy God.
More people said, this is...
I mean, the numbers went through the roof.
I said, oh my God.
I said, what?
Why this?
I don't know.
So I did the same.
They said, well, whatever I do, I'm not going to change it.
So the second one was same graphic, same thumbnail, Maybe I changed a word here or there.
And that's what you do.
You say what works.
It makes sense.
If you have an item, if pineapple pizza doesn't work on your menu, lose it.
However, if pineapple pizza does work, keep it on.
So that's what we do.
If people look at metrics, As what guides us, and I didn't divide the whole channel to it, but I know what I'm talking about.
Whatever works, you guide the metrics, you guide the numbers accordingly.
And you stick to it.
And never vary or veer from it.
Americans in particular hate yes, no kind of things.
I'll tell you right now, it's my downfall.
I can't see one or the other.
Because I swear to God, I could sit there On a show, have the Israel position, Palestinian position.
I can argue both of them.
And they're both right.
They're both right.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
They're both right.
I can argue both sides.
I can do it.
Maybe it's a lawyer in me, maybe it's whatever it is.
I can understand it.
I understand what you're saying.
It's not that one side's wrong.
Now, Bibi Netanyahu, different story.
Abu Mazen, you know, the Arab League, different story.
But the issue itself is very, very simple.
Let me see if I can explain this to you.
Because we are in the fight of our existential lives.
I told you the most important person who knew on who forever changed everything is Joe Rogan.
I don't know why.
I mean, wait.
Is he the best at everything?
I don't know.
He just works.
Are there other people who are smarter, better?
Maybe, but he's the man.
He's it.
And he does something which is very interesting.
He does it.
Bill Maher is trying to do it.
And, by the way, Bill Maher is going through a very interesting transformation now because he is trying to shift from that lefty world.
He's very smart.
Anybody who does that, Bill Maher, listen to me, Bill Maher is more relevant than Tucker Carlson.
I am so profoundly, profoundly disappointed in Tucker Carlson.
Every weakness, every emotional personality weakness he has is coming forth right now in spades like you cannot believe.
Like you cannot believe.
I never knew it was like this.
He is awash.
Lost.
Because there's no...
A lot of other stuff too.
But Bill Maher is at least trying to do something.
And I always respect that.
A lot of people who are trying to do...
Sheryl Crow did that.
Some people do.
People who just hang in there.
They kind of redevelop their ways.
Bonnie Raitt's always been there.
These are women I'm talking about.
They're just...
One of the people who have defined the essence of what they're doing, Rick Beato, defined the essence of what he is doing.
Rick Beato, one of the best, wonderful, figured out exactly what he has to do, defined the message.
But at the hardest time, because I would say, I'm getting bored with this.
I'm going to change this.
I get bored with things.
I get bored with that.
This is boring.
Sometimes in mid-sentence, you know, this is not what I...
I'm losing steam.
Because it's all about me.
And my only rule is this.
When I talk to you about something, it interests me.
You may not find it interesting, but I'm never going to say something that I feel I have to say just for the heck of it.
Okay.
I also have to do...
Sometimes I have to do this.
Okay.
Next subject.
I have to tell people this.
So, when I was watching this one particular piece of breaking points with Sagar and Crystal Ball about UFOs, people always have to say, listen, I'm going to say on the record that yes, it's theoretically possible, but I don't believe this stuff.
I don't.
I'm not buying this.
UFO stuff.
Okay, so I'm just telling you right now, I don't really buy it.
I'm not into the UFO thing.
I don't even know what to think about the UFO thing.
Lex Friedman, Sagar, I'm saying his name very roughly.
I know I'm mispronouncing it, but other people all of a sudden said, oh, I just discovered UFOs.
And you know what I found out?
They don't take it seriously.
They always feel like they have to tell you, look, I'm afraid to tell you.
Or they have to give you a yes or no.
Here's my official answer.
Do I believe in them?
Do I believe?
What does that mean?
Do I believe there are UFOs?
See, I'm the worst person to ask a question to.
What do you mean UFOs?
Unidentified aerial...
What?
What is it?
What?
What?
What are we talking about?
Do I believe in them?
Have I ever seen one?
Never seen an electron, but I believe them.
What do you mean by this?
Are we alone?
That's my favorite.
What do you mean, are we alone?
Ask the question.
Are there other people out there probably smarter than us?
Because every now and then there's kind of...
Probably smarter than us that are flying around and have visited.
Do you?
Do you think that?
You might want to say believe, but do you think that?
Of course.
Of course.
People have been saying this forever.
I believe them.
We put people in prison for the rest of their lives based upon the words of others.
Of course I do.
Of course there are other people.
Of course.
Of course.
I mean, do you know what circumstantial evidence is?
Classic situation, circumstantial evidence.
You go to bed at night and there's snow.
You know, there's snow on the ground and you wake up in the morning and there's tracks.
And you say, oh, that's a...
It was a rabbit.
A rabbit was here.
Why don't we leave his tracks?
Did you see it?
No, but I see the evidence of it.
Oh, okay.
Or maybe somebody in your house said, I saw a rabbit.
Is that good enough?
Yeah.
How much information do you need to know?
So anyway, so Joe Rogan gets this guy on.
I don't know who he is.
They always get the worst people.
Avi, what's his name?
Avi Loeb, who's really good.
He's done more, I think, to add something to this.
But Joe had on some poor guy who had PTSD or high-functioning autistic.
I don't know.
Maybe that's all he had.
And you can see deep down inside, in the back of his mind, he was saying, I don't want people to think I believe this because it's much cooler.
I feel better being a skeptic like that Michael Shermer fellow who loves to just disprove everything.
He has no imagination.
And what I wanted to read, What I wanted to tell Joe and you and others is know how to critically think.
You're going about this the wrong way.
You're asking the wrong questions.
You're trying to answer a question the wrong way.
You're not doing it the right way.
You're missing the point.
You're missing the point.
I don't want to go specifically into the whole notion of this, but they're missing the point.
That's not the way to ask the question.
And most people you talk to don't know how to answer the question.
What do you think there is?
I was talking to somebody recently over Thanksgiving, and somebody says, you know, this is about God.
There's just got to be something there.
There's just got to be something there.
I said, okay.
What does that mean?
I don't know.
Okay.
Well, I don't think there has to be something there.
I think...
What you're probably saying is it's probably more likely than not that there is, but there doesn't have to be something there.
Why?
Because whenever man's intelligence stops, he makes things up.
He says, well, the reason for that is this.
Mankind, and Americans in particular, love to have open-ended questions.
Hate it.
Hate it.
You have to have an answer.
Have to.
You have to have an answer.
You have to say, well, it was probably this.
Joe Rogan did this.
Well, the problem is, that's probably...
The gimbal, the Tic Tac, might have been...
Might have been some type of experimental design.
Some type of...
And it must have been...
Or maybe that...
Why aren't you just...
Why are you trying to tell me what it is?
Just listen to it.
When somebody tells me that they have an experience where they have prayed to God and they believe in God, listen to them.
Don't try to find a reason for it.
Don't try to say, well, that's because of your desperation at the time.
You may not believe it personally, but listen to what they have to say.
Listen to it and absorb it and leave perhaps maybe with an open-ended question.
He's back, my friends.
Sparky says, fun fact.
DNC withdrew funds from Alison Grimes a month before her loss to Mitch McConnell in 2014 because DNC wanted an establishment stooge as majority leader.
Grimes still won over 40% of the vote.
Ooh, I like that fun fact.
Fun fact indeed.
And by the way, I think fun facts are great, and I like to tell people about things that are important, things that are critical.
And there's also something which is very, very important, a fun fact, is what do you do?
If you have to find new ways to invest and park and hedge your money, Sparky, what's one of the best ways?
Glad you asked.
Dark clouds are gathering as markets shudder.
Stocks are sinking, currency stumbling, fear and uncertainty reign.

I love that.
When is there a guarantee of anything?
When have you been guaranteed of anything?
Other than some type of a business thing.
But when have you been guaranteed?
Now by the way, my friends, please keep an eye.
Tonight is the tree lighting.
And there is going to be a Palestinian, pro-Palestinian protest.
Tonight.
And watch it carefully.
And see if it somehow gets out of control.
See what happens.
See what happens.
This is the most important thing in the world.
This is the most important.
And also remember, one of the problems, this is the most important thing in the world.
Do you want to be able to handle the truth or do you want to have Your world verified.
I can't say this enough to you.
I can't say it enough.
Let me give you an example.
Last night, it was very weird.
I was thinking very much about Jimmy Carter's death.
Jimmy Carter was a good man.
He is a good man, rather.
And Rosalind Carter is his wife of 77 years.
And Jimmy looked really bad.
Jimmy looked bad.
But he's 99 years old, but I mean, he had things in his skin.
You know what happens when his mouth is kind of in that rictus, that's a good word, a rictus, a maw.
And Melania shows up, but she's wearing non-black.
Now, I don't know what this story, at least she didn't have that jacket that says, none of your business, what did that thing say, don't ask me, or she had this thing like, I don't care, or something like that.
Uh-oh, Sparky says, hopefully it's more like an S-400 missile shield.
Patriot missile shields have proven to be just hype.
And the word is, hopefully, you mean to say, I hope.
Because hopefully it means full of hope.
But that's okay.
That's one of those things.
I don't want to say what it probably is.
I want to observe it.
And rather than just try to refute what I'm seeing.
So anyway.
So as we're watching this thing, I was thinking, does Rosalind Carter, does that energy, does that love, does that experiential power base, is it merely extinguished just because she is no longer with us?
Is Rosalind Carter gone?
When she was in the last throes of her life, when she was in hospice, when everything was starting to kind of break down, you know, 1997's a good age.
You know, how did she end then?
And maybe kind of very existential and ethereal and hypothetical and, you know, spiritual.
I was just thinking about what the Mox...
Planck Institute said about life after death that there's no such thing as a termination of life or energy because of the fact that we are who we are and blah, blah, blah.
Okay.
Well, lo and behold, Mrs. Allen and I happened to watch this series and loved these wonderful things.
This wonderful...
You know, this Broken Mirrors thing on Netflix.
Is it Broken Mirrors?
Did I get it right?
Yeah, Broken Mirrors.
Yeah.
I think it is.
Is that it?
Yeah, Broken Mirrors.
It was a series.
Black Mirrors.
Black.
I knew it.
I can't.
Sometimes things will just...
Black Mirrors.
Black Mirrors.
Is that it?
And this is on Netflix.
Yeah, Black Mirror.
Okay, I got it.
Joan is awful.
We saw one called See You Next Time or something like that.
And at the time that we happened, I thought it was very propitious.
Lo and behold, I'm thinking this and there's this case.
And the story is this woman, she and her husband are together and they love each other.
Something tragic happens to him and lo and behold, somebody says to him, you know, we are to her.
We can bring him back.
To you, we have collected.
By the way, this was in 2013, maybe?
I think when they did this, 2013.
I think they came with this idea that we have taken his data and we have collected it and we, by virtue of what they were trying to tell us was through AGI, we can replicate him again or bring him back.
Sparky says, no problem.
One reason I watch is I learn language skills.
Oh, well, thank you for that.
But it's not language skills.
It's like one of those wonderful priggers.
It kind of makes sense.
You know, hopefully, another one, too, is...
Oh, what do the people say?
You know what happens when people say, I could care less.
I just go...
And nuclear, I still go...
I go nuclear when I hear that.
So what happens if somebody says, listen...
President Carter, yeah.
Your wife died.
And we have something important.
In this device, in this cube, I have every bit of metadata regarding your wife.
As you know, during the course of our life, we have had humans have kind of an access port, like a USB or lightning, whatever.
And we're able to...
Both put in a memory and kind of back up memory and the light.
I have everything about her.
Her life, her memory, her recollection, what she did, her personality, and we did this so that if she ever loses her memory, we can put it back in and work around it.
And we have this here.
So her physical corporeal, physical body may be gone, but And lo and behold, as we watch this, this one episode called Be Right Back or something, this woman gets a call and it's her husband.
He is on the phone and they're talking and he knows everything, his personality and what he remembers.
And then, spoiler alert, he basically comes to, there's a way to re...
We hydrate, reconstitute him in a physical form.
Well, there's limitations, obviously, that you can imagine.
So when I'm thinking about that, it made me think, after all, what is who we are?
There is the corporeal, there is our physical.
Somebody told me one time they had a bag, a plastic bag of a relative, father, mother, somebody's Shirt or clothing in a bag.
And anytime they wanted it, they could open it up and smell.
Because some people have like a smell.
Not an odor, not a bad one.
Just a smell.
And they could smell their father.
I thought that was so interesting.
So interesting.
And how it would trigger things.
But what if I could take you and reconstitute you into another form?
And you will not die.
Or would you?
Or is there something, or is this the only form of life?
And what, how does, how does religion kick into this?
Well, they say, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
The only everlasting life, because religion, for the most part, always will find ruin, find ways to screw things up.
But there's no, no, no, after life, you can do this.
But what is and is not this person?
And then what if I'm able, as technology, as brute, Force, computing, and superintelligence comes about, and AGI takes a thread, a shred, a fiber of a person, replicates it in perpetuity.
Can you imagine what that is like?
And you have your mother, father, son, daughter there.
It might be the coolest thing in the world.
Or is it?
Is it?
What if you could sit there and you can talk to your mother?
And you're on a phone call.
And you can say, remember Aunt Rose?
Yes.
What was the name of Aunt Rose's brother-in-law?
Jerry.
And you're thinking, my God!
Well, is it your mother or is it the data?
But as AGI picks up and learns, remember what it can do.
Artificial general intelligence.
Recursive self-improvement.
It recodes.
It writes its own code.
Number two, it knows every bit of information there is.
It knows data.
Half of everything is just the data.
Number three, it knows human psychology.
It knows everything from curiosity to jealousy to all of these other aspects.
It knows everything.
And fourth, it can run its own API or its own apps and the like.
Now, this is one of the greatest I mean, this is one of the most fascinating subjects I could sit that my dream would be to sit with a very smart friend's Sitting in someone's living room or back of a restaurant or whatever and
just ask questions.
And just think about that.
Pick it apart.
Ask yourself, what would that be like?
What would it be like?
What would be the limitations?
What could be accomplished?
What couldn't be accomplished?
Put all this together and then, interestingly enough, ask further.
What's the harm?
What's the downside?
The number of people that I could ever find who would be able to do that and willing to do that are so de minimis it's not even remotely funny.
People don't want to do that.
They don't like this.
They don't like what if.
They don't.
They hate it.
Sparky says, as a naval Nuclear pioneer of the 50s, Carter was lowered into a Canadian reactor by a rope around his waist, wrench in hand, to stop it melting down.
It's surprising that he's still alive.
Absolutely.
And, you know, we had this fellow, and thank you, Sparky, we had this priest in high school.
The story was, he worked in the Manhattan Project.
You know, I...
I didn't know then what I know now.
We could have figured it out.
And there was a story that they had to do something where it most probably would cause sterility by frying any spermatozoa.
And they send him in because he was a priest or was on his way.
So the story goes, you're not going to be using those boys.
Raul says, is it possible that we love because the person will cease?
Ooh!
That's interesting.
Is it possible that we love because the person will cease?
Is love an independent sub-element of insecurity of the loss?
You see, whenever a child has a puppy or a dog or a cat or whatever it is, I think to myself, oh good.
In fact, I did this one time and a parent got upset.
He goes, We've got little, you know, rosebud here, a dog.
Oh, that's good.
Why?
To teach him responsibility?
To teach him how to care?
No.
To teach him how to deal with loss.
That teaches him how to, it's his first necessary thing about loss.
You have to, you don't understand presence until you know loss.
He'll learn the death of a pet.
The sadness.
It'll force him to get existential.
Where does he go?
He's with Jesus, playing with all the other little puppies.
And the puppy, he's going to play with a little baby, a baby, or whatever, who maybe died early, and they're in heaven, and they need a puppy, and little, whatever, scout here.
This is where you kind of distort reality.
To make reality feel better.
It's the way you bend the truth.
I got this look up.
What are you talking about?
I said, no, this is important.
You don't know what you've got to lose karma, but you don't understand object permanence in Piaget unless you understand what loss means.
It's not here anymore.
It's not here.
In a child's world, everything isn't.
Where is it?
I lost it.
What do you mean I lost it?
I can't find it?
No.
It's gone.
Wait a minute.
When I lose a toy, it's misplaced.
Oh, this isn't misplaced.
This is gone.
It doesn't exist anymore.
Explain that to a child.
You can't without a child.
Without a means of it.
It's very difficult to teach kids things.
I used to love, one time years ago, I always thought kids never understood math.
I said, let me ask you something.
I've got this thing here.
We've got this, imagine this I voted sticker as a cookie.
And I said, let me ask you a question.
Let's say you and I wanted to have a cookie.
And we only have one.
And you and I want the cookie at the same time.
What do we do?
And did you ever see a little kid look?
They look their eyes.
Go back for it.
La, la, la.
Ooh, la, la.
That's all I got to say.
That's all I want to say to you.
Make an honest story.
I said, what do we do?
And they said, well, we have to share it.
Ah!
Share it!
What do you mean share?
We both?
Well, how do you share this?
Well, one for you and one for you.
Oh.
So if I just break a piece of this off and hand it to you and I keep the rest, is that sharing?
No.
Why?
That's not fair.
Ah!
Justice, equity, equality, division.
This is math.
We're into division.
So maybe if I cut it like right down the middle and we each have a cookie the same size, is that fair?
Yes!
That's called division.
So 1 divided by 2 is what we're doing, right?
Yeah.
That looks like this.
1 divided by 2. Okay.
You know what this is also called?
By the way, the moiety is a great word nobody ever uses.
It means the half.
But this is called 50%.
Did you ever hear that?
Yeah, I heard that.
50%.
What does that mean?
It means half.
That's right.
You know where that 50% comes from?
You know where that number comes from?
Why isn't it 30%?
30% is like a third.
What does that mean?
Okay, let's say there's three of us.
You, me, and then bring your sister in.
Now, make a long story short.
When you do that, And you see those eyes connect, and you are taking the most fascinating, the most compelling,
the most deeply profound, these concepts called Division.
It's wonderful.
And that's why we take these kids and we fill them with wonder and we put them into school and their curiosity dies.
It just dies.
Because we then indoctrinate.
Sit down.
Take out a piece of paper.
Write.
Be quiet.
Sit.
Not good.
Sparky says, Jimmy Carter's biggest mistake was appointing Zbigniew Brzezinski as a national security advisor.
He was the gift that keeps on giving.
Ah, Sparky!
Two things happened.
Many, many people believe.
Many of the greater conspirators.
There's two things that the deal was made where Jimmy would win.
Number one, he has to take Zbigniew.
Number two, he has to take Paul Volcker.
Paul Volcker.
That's the guy.
Because that gave us 20%.
Anyway, so there's a lot to that.
We will spend the rest of our lives trying to deal with the history of Jimmy Carter.
Because one man's history, he's...
History has to be...
You have to let people who were immediately there at the event kind of die off for a while.
Stand by for one second, my friends.

Indeed, my friends.
Indeed.
One more thing I want to tell you about also.
And I want you to be able to do this.
I want you to be able to argue Israel's point, BB's point, Israeli citizens' point, Zionist point, non-Zionist Israelis,
anti-Likud Israelis, Arab Israelis, Palestinians, West Bankers, pro-Hamas, pro-Palestinian.
Can you understand that?
Can you argue their point?
If you can't argue their point, if you cannot do it, you're wasting your time.
If you cannot argue their point, you're wasting their time.
And your time.
Being able to argue the point doesn't mean you agree with it.
When somebody says to you, when somebody says to you, what you're saying is simply this.
You're saying that this...
Under all stretches of all definitions of the word of apartheid, Jimmy Carter, do you ever hear what Jimmy Carter said about it?
Oh my God.
Jimmy Carter was brutal.
It doesn't mean you necessarily agree with this.
It means you understand it.
It means you understand what people are saying.
That's all it means.
It doesn't mean you agree.
It doesn't mean you share it.
It doesn't mean you're an advocate of that particular idea.
It means you Understand it.
You can deal with it.
That's all it means.
That's all.
Okay?
That's all it means.
And I want you always, always, always to understand that your opinion is always, you're always checking it, always validating it, always asking yourself, do I really believe this?
Do I really?
Is this really what I believe?
Yes.
Now, my friends, I want to remind you of something also, which is very, very important, very, very critical.
I can't say this enough to you, but I'm going to say it.
On February the 3rd, I cannot wait.
It's been a while, but I cannot wait to be and to return to the Cutting Room in New York City.
Cutting Room on February the 3rd, 2024.
I hate stand-up comedy.
I have no interest in hearing a joke.
That this person has done before, before that, before that.
It's different than a play.
To me, stand-up comedy, stupid me, is not a play.
It should be something that is, I don't know what the word is, something that is real and kind of spontaneous to a point.
I mean, there's some variability.
So please make it a point.
Tickets are available.
Just go to my, it's going to be at the cutting room, the cutting room, the cutting room, the cutting room, the cutting room.
You can go to the cutting room website.
You can go to my LionelMedia.com.
You can do whatever you want and see it there and enjoy it there.
Let me also tell you, for those of you who have been saying, you know, I can't say certain words here.
You know, I can't say certain things here.
Okay.
I dig what you're saying.
I dig it.
What's also important, which is critical to understand, is very simply this.
I live under the mantle, under the threat, under the fear, Of every conceivable form of suspension and the like on rules that are not necessarily enunciated or provided.
You don't really know for sure.
You don't know for sure.
So consequently, I have my own private channel.
If you would ever like to join me there, that is it.
I get to say what I want.
I also have some of the best commentary, some of the most brutal comments from subscribers and the like.
A news story, which I find interesting.
And then, one of my favorite parts is I love to refer you to a musical reference.
Michael Cleveland, the most incredible fiddler.
Blind?
He's cleft palate, blind, he's...
For all practical purposes, you would think this guy, you would look at him and say, oh my God, has nature provided such a terrible penalty?
And then you hear him play the fiddle.
And you think, oh my God.
It's the most.
You can't believe what you're hearing.
And there's music out there that absolutely, I can't, I can't.
Explain it enough.
Sparky says, by the way, even if Bibi isn't convicted of crimes against humanity, Israel can still blame it all on him using their media connections, then concentrate on getting along with others.
Oh, he is through.
No, no, no, no, no.
He is, as far as him being charged, no.
The ICC, no, that's not going to work.
Because once you open the lines for him, what are you going to do with Kissinger?
What are you going to do with other people?
Come on.
How do you explain half of I defy anybody to explain to me how we even went to half of the wars that we went to.
So, in any event, Sparky, on behalf of a grateful nation, thank you for the service to your country.
Thank you for your sagacity, your sapience, your savoir faire.
I appreciate that.
Thank you for all of that.
So anyway, dear friends, you have a wonderful and a great and a glorious day.
I thank you.
And Raul Rodriguez, you as well.
Thank you, sir.
Have a great day.
Think, think, think, think, but always try to figure out what's the other guy thinking?
Be able to explain it.
All right, dear friends, have a great and glorious day.
Thank you so much.
See you tonight at 7 p.m.
Don't forget, subscribe to this channel because new videos pop up.
I got a brand new part two of when I sat in for the Anthony Cumia show.
Two solid hours of me.
Two solid hours on every subject under the sun.
Have a great day, my friends.
And don't forget, the monkey's dead.
The show's over.
Sue ya.
