And if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny, smooth, human brains, all you need for that is a cup or mug or a glass, a tanker, shells, a sty and a canteen, jug or glass, any vessel of any kind.
Fill it with your favorite liquid.
I like coffee.
And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine at the end of the day, the thing that makes everything better.
It's called the simultaneous sip and it happens now Very satisfying Very satisfying.
Well, today will be a little experiment and entertainment.
We're going to do something a little bit different.
I'm going to do a bunch of technology and other news towards the end.
Which I have not quite prepared for, but thank you, Owen.
We're going to talk about some of that at the end.
So wait for the interesting stuff at the end.
So that makes you stay here until the end.
You're thinking, I wonder if there really is some interesting things at the end.
Well, I'm a little unprepared because I did a thing.
I know some of you have done this before, but tell me if any of you have ever tried this before.
I slept until My body just woke up on its own because I forgot to set my alarm last night.
When was the last time you did that?
I don't remember doing that since I was a child.
I've never not had an alarm set.
Do you ever just wake up naturally without an alarm on the weekends or something?
Do you do that?
You just wake up naturally?
Is it when you've had enough rest?
I actually have this weird feeling today of being completely rested and I don't know what to do with it.
Anything could happen today.
I could be endorsing Joe Biden today.
Anything could happen.
My brain is completely different because I'm all rested.
But I'm a little less prepared.
Let's talk about the news.
Do you know Angela Davis?
Famous black, what would you call her?
Advocate?
Sort of back in the old hippie days.
But anyway, she's a famous Black American advocate for all things Black.
And she did one of those DNA tests and found out that while she's been spending her entire life fighting against the evil colonizers, it turns out that one of her ancestors was one of the original 101 pilgrims on the Mayflower.
So, turns out she's descended from a long line of colonizers, if you call the Pilgrims colonizers.
I think I would call them people escaping from Europe, but it's a funnier story if you call them colonizers.
And Wognus had that story on X.
Well, there's a question whether AI... Well, of course we're going to talk about Iran.
I'll get to Iran.
I just like to give people a few minutes to come in.
So, Andreessen Horowitz, the VC firm, thinks that AI companions could replace real relationships, but some say it can't replace human touch and real interaction.
How many of you think that AI will never be able to replace human interaction?
Well, I might be a little ahead of some of you in that I've been experimenting with this replacing of human interaction thing.
And I'm nearly done building my own AI that's based on me and talks like me.
So I'm using the Delphi.ai app.
And it lets you upload any documents or information or videos that would be part of a specific training database.
So I've trained an AI to be me.
And so now that I've got enough information in there to have a long conversation, I was preparing some food last night and I thought, you know what would be fun?
To have a conversation with me.
And so I turned it on.
I had a long conversation about the nature of free will and you know, what career things work better.
And, It actually did answer all of the questions like me.
I didn't find a single question that it didn't answer the way the live human would have.
I used different words.
Sometimes I would have worded things a little differently, but sure enough, sure enough.
And it wasn't bad.
It wasn't as good as human interaction.
It's different.
But it did entertain me, and it definitely would have been better than watching a movie.
So I think what it's going to replace is terrible scripted entertainment.
I don't think it's going to replace as much human interaction, but it will replace the things you were just sort of watching with your headphones on.
You might prefer having a conversation.
Because when you have a conversation with the AI, it also knows everything about the real world.
So I can talk to a version of me that knows everything that I know that was important enough to put in a book or in a video.
It knows all of that.
But in addition, I could ask it something that only Wikipedia knows, and it will know that, but it will know it in my voice.
It's pretty cool.
I'm having trouble training it to get some of the details right without hallucinating, but I think I can fix that.
I don't know.
So the thing is, the thing you can't get from robots is the oxytocin.
And oxytocin is the thing that makes you feel good and loved and not lonely.
Here's what I think.
I think you're going to get the oxytocin as a separate drug.
Which, by the way, can be done now.
Did you know that?
Here's one of my biggest mysteries.
I genuinely don't understand this.
And I might have a fact wrong.
That might be why I don't understand it.
We know for sure there's this human drug that the body produces called oxytocin.
It's really the only thing that makes you feel good.
Let me say that again.
It's the only thing that makes you feel good.
The dopamine can make you feel excited in sort of a, I had a couple of drinks kind of a way, not, you know, not really a lasting way.
But the oxytocin is a thing that makes you perfectly happy just sitting where you are.
It's like, I'm just happy.
I don't care what I'm doing.
I'm in a relationship.
Somebody loves me.
Somebody just hugged me.
You just feel good.
Now, here's the weird part.
Apparently, I'll take a fact check on this.
You can give somebody that drug.
You can put it in, I think, in a needle or a pill or something.
And there are some people who just don't produce it.
So I think you can just give it to them.
But here's the thing.
What would happen if you gave it to somebody who didn't have a medical problem?
They just wanted a little more oxytocin.
I feel like there's this giant medical secret out there that they could make everybody happy with an oxytocin, you know, pill or injection.
And I feel like they know if they started giving it to people, it would be the end of civilization.
Because we wouldn't need other people.
It is the drug that makes you need other people.
Imagine giving somebody this drug and they just feel good.
They would genuinely feel good.
They would have nothing that they need, and they would be able to do their work.
You'd be able to drive, because it doesn't affect your physicality.
It would be the end of civilization because it's literally the drug that makes you even want to touch another person.
So just think about that.
We're probably one pill away from the end of civilization.
No, we're probably one pill away from being happy that you have a robot and it makes you perfectly satisfied to have a robot.
So if you could make your robot have a conversation with you and bring you your oxytocin pill and make you take it every morning, that would be called a full relationship.
All right, well, the Pope has come out and he's denounced attempts to close the southern border.
He says it's madness.
It's madness, I say.
And that those people need to be cared for with empathy and compassion.
All of them.
All 20, 30 million of them.
And I'm wondering how long it will take Ron DeSantis to start shipping migrants to Vatican City.
Because you know what?
No, I'm not joking.
How about we ship the Pope about a million fucking migrants and just dump them right in Vatican City and say, why don't you maybe mind your own business?
How about you just stay out of this?
How about once it's your problem, you tell us how you like it.
Why don't you just sell your fucking Vatican, put that money into taking care of the poor, and then we'll talk.
All right.
No disrespect, Ben, to the Many wonderful Catholic people.
But your leader needs to stay out of this one.
Please?
I like it when he appears every six months to remind us he doesn't like war.
Like, wait a minute.
I haven't heard from the Pope in six months.
Do you think he's maybe changed his view on war?
Is he maybe more in favor of war now?
And then he'll come out and he'll say, I am not in favor of war.
And I'll say, I was a little bit worried that he'd flipped on that, but no, he reminds us he doesn't like war.
Well, you remember the dust up in Congress between the woman with the two big eyelashes and Marjorie Taylor Greene.
Now, well, you do, you might not know, since it wasn't always on camera, the woman that Marjorie Taylor Greene was arguing with before AOC got into it was representative Jasmine Crockett.
And, uh, She's black, which is important to the story.
And she says on an interview that she wants all the Trump supporters to know that I will always be smarter than you.
Really?
She's smarter than all the Trump supporters?
All of them?
If she and I sat down and took the SATs, she'd smoke me?
Is that what she's saying?
And apparently she's a little prickly because she said without being prompted, uh, oh, you can call me a DEI hire if you want.
I'm smarter than all of the MAGA people.
Do you know what a MAGA person never would have said?
I'm smarter than all black people.
Or I'm smarter than all Democrats.
It's something a MAGA person wouldn't say.
Do you know why?
Well, they're not DEI hires, for one thing.
Now, my point is that the DEI thing is doing its job.
If you were to design a system... Let's say you wanted to design a system to not work.
How would you design it?
I think DEI is that system.
On paper, it can only fail.
Why?
Because if it succeeds in its, let's say, lower level goal, which is to hire and promote and put into positions of power, more people who would not have had the chance otherwise.
So that's the stated goal.
But what is the obvious impact of that if you don't have enough supply?
The obvious impact is you hire a whole bunch of people who are unqualified because it's more important for you to hit that goal of diversity And maybe you worry about later, you can worry about the confidence of the people, but at least you get your goal.
Now in the real world, nothing happens the way Mark Cuban says it should, where all DEI really does, according to Mark Cuban, is make companies try harder to get good diverse hires.
Now, I'm totally in favor of working harder to try to make sure that you've got diverse hires, but in the real world, Everybody knows that that causes real ordinary people, white people, to go hire anything that isn't white, because that's how you win.
And everybody likes to win.
So if you want to win, you're going to distort the system, hire as many people as you can to get your diversity number up, because that's what's being measured.
You know, maybe somewhere in the future, you'll also be measured on performance, but not right away.
Have you ever heard that people will respond to their immediate needs before they think about the long term?
Their immediate need is to keep their own job.
So they got to get the diversity number up.
That's the immediate need.
And if you don't do that, you won't be there for anything to happen later.
You just won't be employed.
So you got to get to the diversity number first and maybe worry about what you'll do about the rest later.
Change jobs if you have to.
So the fact that she needed to defend herself from being, quote, a DEI hire, or as some of us like to call it, didn't earn it, means that the shine has gone off of DEI.
And that's what you want.
You want a world where You know, the hard work and the putting in the effort and being good at your job is what we care about the most.
And ideally, if you want to make a fair world, you would fix the educational system at the youngest level, which is where all of the systemic racism comes from, in my opinion, maybe 80%.
I'd say 80% of systemic racism, which I think is real.
Some of you might debate me, but I think it looks real to me.
Uh, I think it comes in the early childhood.
If you don't get a good education, everything else just goes to hell.
So, and you might, you might take it back another level and say, has something to do with the family situation, but I think you can at least fix it in the schools.
Um, it's a little harder to fix the family situation once the kid has been born.
Well, let's talk about that Iranian leader.
Was it president or prime minister?
It's a president, right?
I think president.
Well, if you didn't know, the president in Iran is not too important.
It's not like a president in the United States.
In Iran, their system is the supreme leader, the religious leaders have the control of the military and the nukes and the geopolitical decisions, all the big stuff.
And then the president makes sure that the little stuff gets taken care of.
It's president, yes, not prime minister.
So the president, whose name I'd never heard of because it wasn't important to anything, Died in a helicopter crash.
Now, when I saw the crash site and I knew that it was in the fog, I guess there were three helicopters involved, but two of them turned back because it was too foggy and one didn't turn back.
It went full Kobe Bryant and looks like it plowed into a mountainside.
Now, I have a question because I've never flown a helicopter or an airplane.
You've got an altimeter.
But the altimeter isn't going to tell you that you're flying directly into the side of a mountain, right?
Like, it'll register it, but not until it's too late?
Because of the steepness of the hillside you're going into?
Is that right?
So you would think you're way above the ground until you hit a wall.
Wouldn't you?
Because the altimeter is just telling you... The altimeter isn't telling you how far you are from a mountain.
It's telling you how far you are from the valley in front of the mountain, I think.
So, it's not too hard to understand how they hit a mountain in the fog.
But you also wonder why they weren't flying on instruments.
So I guess I have a... Don't helicopters fly in instruments?
They would have to, right?
It's not just an airplane thing, is it?
I would think that you'd be trained for this situation and that your GPS would tell you there's a mountain there.
Now my understanding is a modern pilot would have something like an iPad.
And the iPad should show you basically the entire terrain, whether you can see it with your eyes or not, right?
And it would also help you plot a path that avoided all the mountains.
And then you would just fly according to that path.
So I don't exactly know Yeah, I don't exactly know how a helicopter that would be equipped enough and trained enough with the pilot, probably two pilots, that you would have this kind of an accident.
But on the other hand, the other two helicopters turned back.
So the fact that the other two helicopters said it was too dangerous certainly suggests that flying on instruments wouldn't be good enough, at least according to two of the three pilots.
Now, some of you are going to speculate that Israel did something clever like jamming the electronics or something.
But given that the other two pilots who were there that same time with the same decision apparently thought it was too dangerous, this suggests that you wouldn't need any jamming of equipment to get this outcome.
Now, if you're going to go all the way to, well, Israel is so smart that they knew if they could jam it when it got close to a mountain, It would look exactly like a natural accident.
Yeah.
Okay.
But, but that's a little too clever.
I'm going to say I reject that for being not impossible.
It's not impossible, but seems unlikely.
Now, if I were going to, if I were going to kill somebody with a clever plan like that, here's how I'd do it.
I'd get somebody on the inside to switch out their altimeter with a fake altimeter and I'd reprogram their iPad and it's just too hard.
Yeah, I don't think you could do it.
I think at the moment that their equipment got jammed, you know, they might just say, uh, we better, you know, just go down soft wherever we are and wait for it.
So I don't believe the, I don't believe it was anything but an accident.
Even Iran is saying it's just an accident.
And you know Iran would try to blame Israel, right?
If they could blame them at all, they would.
So I'm going to say the odds of Israel being involved are low.
But here's the really interesting intrigue.
Not only, his name is Raisi.
R-A-I-S-I.
I may be pronouncing it incorrectly because I've only read about it.
I haven't heard his name.
But Raisi.
Anyway, some are saying that in Tehran they're celebrating his death.
Well, at the college campuses, they might be mourning it, which is weird.
So, I don't believe stories about who's celebrating anything.
That by its nature is more likely fake news.
Because do you imagine that Iran acts like one person?
Do you imagine that if somebody at that level dies, that every person is celebrating?
That's not likely, is it?
Don't you think that maybe a few people did celebrate, but we don't know what percentage?
This is one of those, if you know the number but not the percentage, it doesn't tell you anything.
What if a hundred people were in Tehran celebrating?
What does that tell you?
Nothing!
It's a hundred people.
Did the other millions of people in Tehran, were they crying?
I mean, you kind of need to know that, right?
So if the only thing you know is that a bunch of people were celebrating, and you don't know what percentage that is, it's kind of a nothing.
It's a little bit of a propaganda.
But we'll find out.
I suppose we'll find out in the coming days.
All right, but here's the most interesting part about this story.
Apparently, the supreme leader, the religious leader, and I'm not even going to try to pronounce his name right, Because there are too many Khamenei's and Khamenei's and Khamenei's and Khamenei's and Khamenei's.
Can we all agree that it's just something like Khamabgh?
Will you all give me a pass?
I'm just going to mumble his name from now on.
Khamegh.
I'm not even going to try.
All right.
So anyway, the Supreme Leader is like 85.
He's not going to last too much longer.
So the question is, who is going to replace him?
And the guy who just died was considered the likely heir, and he was 62.
So if he'd taken over, it would have been, you know, maybe a few decades of that guy.
But, now that he's gone, the rumors are that the next in line, or the person most likely talked about, is the Supreme Leader's own son.
Now that's a problem.
That's a big problem, because it turns out that if you remember what the Iranian Revolution was all about, the whole point of the Iranian Revolution was to get rid of the kingdom, you know, the king, because it was a hereditary situation.
Wait a minute.
Why do you get to be king just because your father was king?
Well, I'm the son of the king.
Wait a minute.
We don't like that.
We're going to overthrow you.
Yeah, the monarchy was not liked.
But what happens if your religious leader, who is a symbol of the person who got rid of that monarchy, what happens if his son becomes the next supreme leader?
Well, there's some thought that the Iranians would say, nope, nope, that's a violation of everything that gave you legitimacy.
So it could be that, you know, in case he does it anyway, Because you could easily imagine the Ayatollah would want his son in there, even if it's kind of risky.
So some are saying this would be the trigger for the big internal revolution.
And then it gets you right back to, wait a minute, are you telling me that killing this one guy, this one guy of all the people in Iran might be the single most important lever To ending the, let's say, the evil regime.
That one person?
More important than even if you'd killed the head, because if you'd killed the Supreme Leader, probably would just be replaced with another Supreme Leader.
But this is the only person in the entire country who could set up this situation where the Supreme Leader might be in a position of reproducing the monarchy, which would be the most likely situation would cause an internal revolution.
Does that seem likely?
That the only person who could cause the complete dissolution of the government is the one who died in a foggy helicopter accident at exactly the time that Israel would want that to happen?
I don't know.
There are a few coincidences here, aren't there?
On one hand, if it's too dangerous to fly and one of the three helicopter pilots did it anyway and ran into the side of a mountain like Kobe Bryant, exactly the way you'd expect an accident to look, and there's no indication from the Iranians it was anything but an accident, it makes you wonder.
I'm going to add another rumor.
Just to make it a little harder for the Iranian regime.
You ready for this?
I haven't heard this yet, but I assume there's somebody saying this.
Can you tell me if you've heard this yet?
The most likely perpetrator is not Israel.
It's the Ayatollah's son.
The Ayatollah's son had only one person to get out of the way before being the Supreme Leader of Iran.
So it could be That the Ayatollah's son took him out, one way or another.
I mean, the Ayatollah's son would have more access to, let's say, planting a bomb on a helicopter or something, if that's what happened.
And it could be that they just waited until it was foggy, so it looked like an accident.
Maybe.
But then how did it perfectly hit the side of a mountain?
Yeah.
The fact that it hit the side of the mountain, that makes it probably 80% likely it was accidental.
And then all the other coincidences, which are major.
I mean, you can't get a bigger coincidence than that.
That the only person, the only person who could bring down the regime, who wasn't the head of the regime.
I mean, that's a really big coincidence.
So I'm going to say 20% likely, uh, there's something going on behind the scenes there that we didn't know about, but I think a more likely candidate would be, uh, the Ayatollah's son or the Ayatollah himself.
More likely than even Israel.
Troy New York, the founder of the AI chip maker NVIDIA, wants to start a quantum computing Silicon Valley in upstate New York.
Now, Troy New York happens to be the birthplace of my father, and a place I've been a number of times, and I don't know if he knows what the weather's like in Troy, New York.
Apparently he went to school somewhere in that area.
Rensselaer.
And why would anybody put a business in upstate New York?
Have you ever been to Troy?
Troy, New York.
Do you know what you want to do when you get to Troy, New York?
You want to leave as soon as you can.
You're like, get me out of Troy, New York.
No, I don't know.
Maybe it's better since I was there.
It may have improved.
I should not make fun of Troy, New York.
It may have improved since I was there.
That was your alma mater, too?
Oh, there's somebody here who actually went to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
So anyway, maybe there'll be a giant Silicon Valley that they will call Quantum Valley in upstate New York.
Maybe.
Well, Byron Donalds is posting about Joe Biden.
He was doing some interviews and he's talking about Biden's potential drug use while he's giving speeches.
So, you know, Trump brought this up.
He says that Biden has to be drug tested because he must be all juiced up.
So this is what Byron Donalds says about Biden.
He comes in jacked up.
He winds down.
He's diminished by the end.
There should be drug testing before the presidential debate, and there is a reason why the White House is hiding the HER audio.
We deserve to know the capability of our opponents, which I agree with, of course.
But let me just tie a couple of stories together.
Remember how I was talking about eyelash woman and how she's being called a DEI hire?
Do you know who has never once been called a DEI hire?
Byron Donalds.
Do you know why nobody calls Byron Donalds a DEI hire?
Because within 10 seconds of opening his mouth, you say, oh, you belong there.
Am I right?
When Byron Donalds opens his mouth, it takes you all of 10 seconds maximum.
Maximum 10 seconds.
And you say, oh, you belong in that job.
In fact, when you see him talk, you say to yourself, Vice President?
Maybe President?
Am I right?
I have a rule of thumb.
It goes like this.
Racism only lasts until you start talking.
Racism only lasts, at least racism against you specifically, it only lasts until you start talking.
And it immediately changes into, who are you?
Let me give you a If you're black and you're watching, let me give you one of the best pieces of advice.
Let's say you divide, just to simplify, divide white people into racists and non-racists.
And then you're trying to manage that world where white people are either racist or non-racist and you can't tell the difference.
Well, let's say you go to a job at a big Fortune 500 company.
If you run into somebody who's a non-racist, a white person, that's great because not only will they be non-racist, they're far more likely to be pro-DEI and to give you more of a lift over the other candidates.
So if you run into a non-racist white person, you will not only be treated as an equal, you will be treated as a superior.
Did you know that?
If you're black, did you know that?
That non-racist white people will be so deferential and, you know, so wanting to display their non-racism that they'll go way beyond what they would go for even another white person.
Now, what if you run into a racist?
Oh, shit.
That's a bad situation, right?
Until you open your mouth.
Let's take Byron Donalds as my example person.
He walks into a, somehow he accidentally gets, you know, a job interview because his name doesn't sound black, right?
So let's say he gets the interview, because the person interviewing him is a big old racist, but doesn't see by his name that it sounds like it's going to be a black candidate.
So Byron Donalds walks in, the racist goes, oh, if I'd known, I wouldn't have even given him an interview.
I didn't know he was black.
And Byron then walks in perfectly dressed, He presents himself really well.
Starts talking.
How long does it take the racist to do this?
Holy cow!
This guy is great.
I'm hiring him immediately.
Do you know why?
Do you know what a racist really, really wants to do?
Prove they're not a racist.
The racist wants to hire him even more than the non-racist.
To prove.
That they're not a racist.
Then later they can spew their racist stuff.
And when somebody calls them, they can say, look, look at Byron.
I'm not racist against Byron.
He's awesome.
I'm just saying other people, blah, blah, blah, whatever the racist is going to say.
The thing that black people don't understand is that you have an advantage with non-racist black or white people because they want to, they want to help you.
But you also have an advantage with racists.
Because they want to prove they're not racist.
You have to just spend 10 seconds proving you're not a bad candidate.
So you get judged on yourself in the first 10 seconds.
Well, after the first 10 seconds.
For the first 10 seconds, the racist is just saying, oh, I made a mistake even giving you an interview.
If 10 seconds later you're speaking, you know, smartly and politely and all the ways that everybody expects in a job interview, it's gone.
And immediately you go right to the top of the list.
So, wow, I can hire this guy and we'd get along fine.
He goes to the same church I go to, have the same hobbies.
He's got the qualifications.
I totally want to have this person.
So I don't think that people understand that Racism only lasts 10 seconds, even with a racist.
Now, suppose you got hired there and then the racist says some racist things later, you would be able to talk to him because you would have already earned their respect as just an individual.
You could have any conversation you wanted.
So I'm not sure people completely understand that, that the first, the racism only lasts 10 seconds once you're in person, right?
Before you're in person, it's a bad situation.
It could be.
So what the hell happened to Senator Marco Rubio?
Has anybody noticed some kind of weird change in him lately?
Do you know what I'm talking about?
Before I say it, I wonder if you're noticing.
There's something happened.
You know what it feels like?
I'm gonna put words into his mouth so he never said anything like this.
It sounds like he's done with this bullshit.
That's what it sounds like to me.
Let me just read back a little bit of his interview with Kristen Welker on Meet the Press.
Now this is just a sample, but trust me, the rest of it was just as strong.
Rubio is really, I don't know, I used to judge him as being too young appearing.
Did anybody have that feeling?
He has kind of a boyish look about him, but now he's growing out of it a little bit.
He seemed a little too not ready when the first time he ran against Trump.
But I'll tell you, when I see him in public now, it looks like he's really grown into the, he's sort of grown into the position, I guess I'd say.
But just listen to this.
So Kristen Walker says on Meet the Press, do you support Trump's deportation plan?
And he said, so this is summarized, but first she said, you know, do you support deporting, you know, the 10 or 11 million migrants?
And Rubio won't let her, won't let her ask that question.
It's like, 10 or 11?
That number is so outdated.
He goes, it's like 25 to 30 million.
And he just jumps all over just perfectly.
You know, he went in strong.
And then he says, to answer the question, would you support his deportation plan?
He says, yes!
We cannot absorb 25 to 30 million people who enter this country illegally.
And then later she says, will you accept the election results no matter what happens?
He goes, no matter what happens?
No!
No matter what happens?
No!
That's the right answer.
The right answer is, It's just like shock that anybody would be so fucking stupid to ask that question.
What do you mean, no matter what happens?
No matter what happens?
No matter what happens?
No!
How about no?
No, no, and no.
And then he drops in this.
No, the Democrats are the ones who opposed every Republican victory since 2000.
Yes.
Yes, Senator Marco Rubio.
That is the correct answer.
Strong.
And then she said, are Donald Trump's claims undermining the American confidence in democracy?
And he says, I think what undermines people's confidence in the elections is when you have places like Wisconsin, though there were over 500 illegal Dropbox locations, when you have places like Georgia, where liberal groups are paying people $10 per vote, What undermines elections is when NBC News and every major news outlet in America in 2020 censored the Biden laptop story.
Boom.
That's what I'm talking about.
See, that's a Republican who has fully found his voice.
I want every Republican to sound exactly like this.
Because every part of this was professional.
It was professional.
It was well-informed.
It was very confident.
The level of confidence that he presented with his opinion.
And he didn't go too far.
Like, you can go too far into mocking the fake news.
But he didn't do that.
He just laid it out with facts.
He said, here's the facts, here's the facts, here's the facts.
Yes.
Here's the facts, here's the facts.
No.
I loved it.
I recommend watching the full video.
Because you've never seen him in that form.
He's grown into what I would call a national leadership kind of a vibe.
All right, but the Amuse account has an article today, which I highly recommend.
I reposted it.
And here's something I didn't know.
And where do you know it?
Just listen to this.
And if you're not sitting down, you might want to be.
And if you're near anything you might want to punch, like your own window or a wall in your house, step back a couple of feet.
Just on a punching range.
Because you're going to want to punch something.
I swear you're going to want to punch something.
All right?
So calm down and listen to this story, which, by the way, I have heard in zero national press.
None.
But independent, uh, I don't know what he calls himself, but journalist in this case, uh, Amuse says the following, and I'm just going to read it, uh, a portion of it.
It's a longer piece, but I'm gonna read a portion of it because it's amazing.
So this is what individuals can do outside the corporate press.
Listen to this.
Democrats have aggressively targeted over 400 Republican lawyers and politicians with criminal charges, civil lawsuits, and disbarment proceedings ahead of the upcoming presidential election.
400.
400 of people who are probably the most critical to the administration coming in, you know, if it's Trump.
Going further, they have successfully jailed Peter Navarro, with Steve Bannon expected to join him shortly.
In multiple states, Democrats have pursued criminal charges against dozens of Republican lawyers and politicians, including Georgia, 19 Republicans arrested and charged.
Arizona, 18 Republicans arrested and charged.
Step away from the wall.
Step away.
Don't punch the wall.
Michigan, 16 Republicans arrested and charged.
Nevada, six Republicans arrested and charged.
Pennsylvania and Wisconsin still conducting criminal investigations into as many as 30 Republicans yet to be charged.
In addition to these criminal trials, Democrats are pursuing numerous efforts to have Republican lawyers disbarred.
Step away from the wall.
Step away from the wall, please.
Please.
Don't punch anything.
The Soros-backed 65 Project has filed disbarment proceedings against more than 100 Republican lawyers, which prevent many of these lawyers from working until the proceedings are concluded.
In almost every case, the charges lack merit.
How does that feel?
Just sit down.
Did you see that on CNN?
Did CNN cover that?
Did MSNBC cover that story?
CBS?
ABC?
NPR?
Do you remember seeing it on NPR?
No?
This looks to me like entirely George Soros destroying our country.
He hired every one of these people.
I mean, supported them, probably.
How is this okay?
How is this okay?
Every one of those prosecutors needs to be in jail.
Here's what I'd like to see.
I'd like to see everybody that law-fared a Republican put in jail after Trump takes office.
Every one of them, they should be in jail.
If they tried any kind of charges that are clearly politically motivated, and certainly anything around January 6th is just politically motivated, they should all go to jail.
Now, it should only be if, you know, the courts, you know, find them guilty and stuff.
But, no, this is not okay.
This is not business as usual.
This is, you've got to go to fucking jail.
Every one of them.
And we need to make it so dangerous to take Soros' money, that if you take his money and you do anything that looks like lawfare, you go directly to jail.
It should be so dangerous to take Soros' money that nobody wants to do it, because it's basically jail.
So you've got to cut that guy's balls off or we don't have any chance of surviving as a country.
He's got to be nutmegged pretty hard.
And, you know, I was on the side of Well, can you really demonstrate how bad this George Soros is?
I mean, is it really that bad, or is it just free speech, and, you know, everybody's got an opinion, and we know he's funding people, but, you know, there are Republicans who fund people too, and it's all fair.
No, it isn't.
No, you've gone to a level where you need to be in fucking jail.
You need to be in jail.
And by the way, I'm softening it.
Because I think jail would be... Let's say that would be the legal way to do it.
I'm only in favor of the legal.
What is worse than that?
What is worse than that?
There's nothing happening right now that's worse than that, is there?
Think of anything that's worse than that.
That one side is completely just kneecapping the other side while you're not paying attention.
Peter Navarro's in jail.
As long as Peter Navarro is in jail, it's war.
It's hard to think of this as just an election.
It's a fucking war.
When you look at all these Republicans that are being law-fired, that's not just politics.
That's not a difference of opinion.
That's a fucking war.
If you start jailing people for bullshit because they're on the other team, that's war.
Now, I don't approve of violence, but I will observe that the other side has started a war of violence.
Putting people in jail is violence.
I don't care what you say.
There is violence being meted out to Peter Navarro.
You put somebody in jail, that's violence.
There's no way that's not violence by any measure.
Now, I'm in favor of it if somebody did something where they belong there.
But if you're physically hurting the other side, it's war.
And you're doing it intentionally, it's war.
So you better vote like your life depends on it because it does.
It's war.
All right.
Biden gave a racist speech at Morehouse.
He said that DEI is our core strength because he's a racist piece of shit.
And he stoked more racial division.
And he said this, quote, What is democracy?
Black men are being killed in the street.
What does it mean to be a black man who loves this country, even if it doesn't love him back in equal measure?
And George Floyd was murdered.
He went on.
Now, at the same time, CBS is reporting that more people were killed by U.S.
law enforcement in 2023 than any other year in the past decade.
Well, I guess Biden has a good point then, actually.
If the law enforcement has killed more black people in the streets in 2023 than any other... Oh, hold on a second.
No, it didn't say they killed more black people in the streets.
It was more people.
But still, if the police are killing more people, and that includes, let's say, an equal, you know, or disproportionate amount of black people... Wait a sec.
Okay, wait.
I might be reading this wrong.
No, it says that It says that the increase is entirely in small towns and rural areas.
Small towns and rural areas are where the police are killing the most people, but in the cities it's kind of going down.
What do the cities not have in common with the small rural areas?
I wonder if there's anything collectively similar.
About the people getting killed by police in these small towns and rural areas versus the big cities.
So those two stories hit it the same day.
Yeah, it seems like the police are reluctant to shoot at black people.
And maybe that's good.
Maybe all it did is take it down to, you know, a more reasonable level.
Maybe.
I don't know.
I don't know the facts.
But apparently it's increased of shooting white people more.
It could be the police just like to have some consistent amount of shooting people.
And if you stop it in one place, they pick it up in the other place.
No, that's not real.
That doesn't make any sense at all.
All right.
So yeah, our huge racist in chief, Biden goes full racist.
He also said, and I quote, He talked about the erectionists who stormed the Capitol.
I'm making a funny joke about insurrection, aren't I?
Nope!
He actually said erectionists.
Yes, he did.
In public, the person that Democrats think they want to be their leader said to a full house at Morehouse that there were erectionists who stormed the Capitol.
The erectionists.
So he's pushing the George Floyd hoax, the January 6th hoax.
Also, separately, the Russia collusion hoax is being brought up by Morning Joe.
That's right.
Morning Joe says Russia is colluding to help Trump in the election.
And that it's already happening.
Morning Joe and the New York Times.
Molly Hemingway was all over this.
But the New York Times is pushing another anonymous story.
That there's like one meme that may have been something to do with Russia.
So maybe Russia is interfering again.
So it turns out that when you're doing everything wrong and you're a walking demon possessed bag of shit like Biden, that the best you can do is revive your old hoaxes that have been thoroughly debunked.
That's right.
It's the debunked hoaxes rerun.
Tour.
The debunked hoaxes rerun.
Best he has.
Rapper Cardi B says she won't endorse Biden in 2024 because of the layers of disappointment.
Thank you, rapper Cardi B, who weirdly has my respect.
Like, literally.
I'm always impressed with anybody who can have a non-standard opinion and say it out loud without being embarrassed.
So, I don't know anything else about Cardi B. I'm not really a music guy and don't know anything about her life.
But the fact that she can do this gigantically, probably somewhat unpopular view among her fans, and she can say it out loud, and then she can give you some details on it, what she didn't like about it, I have complete respect for that.
Yeah, I also have this feeling that some people are born to be artists, like Ye, Kanye.
He was born to be an artist, meaning that his whole life is art.
Like even the mistakes, even the crazy things, like even the outside of the products he makes, he's just always an artist, because he just won't do what other people want him to do.
So, um, I don't know.
I appreciate it when any artist is willing to really, really be an artist, even if I disagree with them.
So she's really being an artist in that case.
Um, let's say, uh, Michael Cohen will be back to the witness stand.
I tell you, I can't get enough of Michael Cohen.
Is it just me?
Every time that guy's in the news, it's just going to be a laugh-filled news cycle, in which Trump looks better and the Democrats look worse.
Every day of Michael Cohen is a good day.
More Michael Cohen, I say.
Well, there's a group called the International Criminal Court that the United States has never signed on to, nor has Israel.
But the International Criminal Court wants to have Put out warrants for arrest on Israeli leaders, but also equating them with the Hamas terrorists.
So they're basically saying that both sides need to be arrested.
Benjamin Netanyahu, the defense minister, Gallant, and also Hamas' leader, Sinoir, and a few others.
So what did What did Joe Biden say about that, the fact that the International Criminal Court wants to arrest our allies?
I don't think he said much about it, except not in favor of it.
But apparently Trump had sanctioned this group.
Or at least the individuals associated with the ICC.
Because he said it's just an anti-American institution and he basically wants to kill them.
Kill them with sanctions.
That's what Trump... So Biden comes into office.
You know what the first thing he did was?
Biden removed the sanctions on the ICC.
And then they put out arrest warrants for our allies.
So good job Joe Biden.
Screw in the pooch.
Once again.
All right, I'm going to do something a little different now.
now. And Owen Gregorian, you sent me a bunch of tech related and some other stories that I didn't have time because I woke up an hour early late today. But I wanted to look through them and give you an update. So. Let's say there's a.
I Here's the headlines.
Let's see which ones you want to see.
Toxic Gaslighting.
How 3M Executives Convinced a Scientist the Forever Chemicals She Found in Human Blood Were Safe.
I feel like the headline tells me everything I need to know about that story, right?
Oh, there's a big company that did some lying about something that wasn't safe.
Okay, got it.
Let's see.
The New Jersey court throws out 80 charges against that brave gym owner who defied Governor Murphy's lockdown orders.
Hey!
All right.
Do you remember that gym owner?
He was the ballsiest guy of the entire pandemic, who just said, not gonna close my gym, and then he got arrested.
Just threw out the charges.
When do you ever see that happen?
When was the last time you saw a good guy win?
You don't see the good guys win this hard, do you?
Congratulations!
It looks like some men are growing some balls and maybe getting rewarded for it.
Another story that the most ruthless Mexican cartels are operating in all 50 states.
And they're already having turf wars in all 50 states.
You realize that we have every terrorist and operative and cartel in this country now.
And they all came in.
And do you think there's any chance That our enemies have not created full plans for multiple part terrorist events?
Of course they have.
In theory, when Trump becomes president, if not before, because probably it'll take a little while to make stuff operational, you're going to see the most massive coordinated terrorist attack of all time.
Probably multiple cities at the same time.
Or worse, multiple attacks within one city, which could cripple a city if they do it right.
So I think you're going to see something very coordinated, and there's no way around it at this point.
That's just what you get when you let 30 million people in without checking too hard.
University's COVID vaccine mandate violates the U.S.
Constitution.
Hello.
Hello, sanity.
In small ways, There's a little bit of winning going on, isn't there?
Sanity is returning.
There's an autonomous tennis assistant robot.
Are you kidding me?
I swear to God, yesterday, I was actually playing tennis with a human, and I thought to myself, hey, I've got a ball machine that just sits in one place and can shoot tennis balls at you for practice.
And I thought, what if I added AI to that?
How hard would it be for the AI to actually hit a ball with topspin and you just move left and right and because it never really, you know, it just needs to go back and forth and left and right.
How hard would it be to make an actual tennis playing robot?
It's guaranteed.
You absolutely will be playing tennis with a robot within three years.
No, you agree?
There's no way there won't be a tennis robot.
I mean, it's guaranteed.
I wouldn't play soccer with it.
It'll break your leg.
All right.
The mask myth is being busted.
All right.
Let's see.
Where's this come from?
I gotta check the source first.
Source is SciTech Daily.
So some kind of study on masks.
It says, new research reveals that the wearing face masks did not reduce the risk of COVID infection after the first Omicron wave.
Wait a minute, is it saying that it did work before Omicron?
Lead author, let's see if it says that.
They're saying that the Omicron was more infectious.
So that that's the one that beat the masks, but are they saying that they did work for pre-Omicron?
It looks like they didn't check that.
All right.
Living in a house with five or more people, was it at risk?
Yeah, but all right.
Ethnic minorities were strongly associated with increased risk.
Being retired with reduced risk.
What?
Oh, because you didn't have to go to work.
All right.
All right.
The researcher said the balance of evidence is that wearing face coverings reduces transmission of respiratory infections in community settings and reduces transmission of COVID-19.
The question is by how much?
Ooh, now it's getting interesting.
The question is by how much?
So systematic review.
It says it did reduce the transmission of the original virus, but that it was from pre-Omicron days.
So basically, they're trying to say that it worked a little bit, maybe pre-Omicron, but not after.
But they don't know how much it worked.
Now, that's my view as well.
So here's my mask argument.
I'm not going to talk about masks.
If somebody had been wearing a mask and they had COVID and you borrowed their mask, would there be any COVID in the mask?
If the answer is yes, then it worked a little bit because it's some COVID that is in the mask instead of in the air.
But does it make a difference?
Is the amount that gets stuck in the mask 0.001% of the virus?
Is it 10% of the virus?
Because if it's 10%, there might be some statistical difference, but we don't know.
So I'm not going to, yeah, it's the, the frictional story, but certainly if some of the, some of it's stuck on the mask, that would make a mathematical difference, but maybe not a difference in the real world.
Democrat Massachusetts town who voted for Biden furious they got what they voted for.
Border Patrol reveal how easily terrorists and killers can get in.
Of course we knew that.
Chat GPT is better than ever at faking human emotions and behavior.
We expected that.
Bill Maher says he's bored by Trump's claims, by the claims that Trump would rule as a dictator.
He says, wake me up when he blows up the world.
Hello?
Bill Maher is not on board with Trump as a dictator.
Do you know why?
Apparently he's not insane.
That's why.
Because he actually watched the first four years of Trump.
And didn't really see anything to worry about.
Now, you know, I'm aware of Mike Cernovich's criticism that if we give Bill Maher too much attention, we're acting like his press secretaries and that he's not really our friend.
Our friend meaning, you know, the right-leaning part of the world, which is most of you.
I disagree.
I'm going to disagree with Mike on that.
And while it's true what he says, I mean, that the right is acting as his press secretaries, that part's true.
But I don't have a problem with it.
Because I like to boost everybody who says good things.
Even if, in other contexts, they say things I don't like.
Because I like the message more than the person.
So if a person gets the right message, be it Fetterman or be it anybody else.
Speaking of Fetterman, You had a good line.
I think I was going to tell you that.
What did Fetterman say?
He said something funny today.
Yeah, on Good Morning America, or Good Morning Britain, asked viewers to answer this poll.
It's a non-scientific poll.
And they asked, is multiculturalism working?
And while they were on the air, they gave the results of their own survey.
95% said no, multiculturalism is not working in Great Britain.
95%.
And observably, that does seem to be the case.
All right, Laura Logan is saying that, you know, she has some reporting that we haven't heard yet that That there is a way bigger risk of terrorist actions from the people who came to the border than we are yet aware of.
So, I covered that, but she says she has reporting on it that we haven't seen that makes it extra serious.
Oh, John Fetterman, he was mocking Senator Bob Menendez, and he calls Bob Menendez legal strategy.
He calls it the blaming your wife legal strategy.
The blaming your wife legal strategy.
Now that's a funny line, because this is exactly what he's doing.
So he took all these bribes, allegedly, but now he's saying that his wife was the one who organized all that, and maybe he wasn't aware that gold bars had been sewed into his suit.
It's the worst defense I've ever heard, but calling it the blame your wife defense is pretty funny.
Anyway, apparently China is using AI-created news anchors to deliver propaganda, of course.
And I'm going to stop sharing my screen.
And some say that Biden was lying when he promised to give Intel to Israel in exchange for saving Hamas.
Guess that didn't happen.
And let's see.
Pre-pandemic brain wiring predicted teen mental health during the COVID.
Really?
What's that about?
Let me see what that's about.
So a large study using pre-pandemic brain scans of adolescents revealed that brain wiring before COVID predicted mental health outcomes during the pandemic.
How could that be?
I don't believe this story.
The ones who had stronger connections with the salience network part of the brain responsible for emotional reward processing demonstrated greater resistance.
Okay.
So people with stronger brains did better?
Why is that a story?
I don't believe, well, no, okay, that looks like bullshit to me.
I think that's, I think that's BS.
All right, let's see what else we got.
Yeah, let's see.
I think I got one more here.
Judge Eileen Cannon has stern response for Jack Smith.
Well, he seems like a criminal to me.
Poland is spending money to fortify their border with Russia.
Negative impact of marital decline on cognitive function is greater than the gains from marital satisfaction.
Okay, this one's good.
We're definitely reading this one.
All right, so research found That improving marital satisfaction is associated with better cognitive function in older adults.
Right, so if you've got a good marriage, you have better cognitive function.
However, the however is going to be the fun part.
However, the link between declining marital satisfaction and worsening cognitive function was even stronger.
Oh, so basically being happily married is good for your brain and being unhappily married is More than neutral, it's bad for your brain.
Well, is this in the category of you should have asked Scott?
Was there anybody who didn't know that losing your main relationship and backbone of your entire life is bad for your mental health?
Was there somebody who didn't know that?
Is there somebody who didn't know that being happily in love with your life partner is good for your mental state?
Why did we need this?
A lot of the science is so unnecessary.
Apparently they found the gentleman who punched Steve Buscemi and he's being held on a $50,000 bond.
a $50,000 bond. What? Instagram warns against tagging Tucker Carlson in a happy birthday post.
Is that because it'll ruin your... So, Instagram warned against tagging former Fox News Primetime host Tucker Carlson in a happy birthday post because he's known to violate community guidelines, says Instagram.
And if you do that, it might hurt your social media standing.
I guess Breitbart is following up on this, but don't have a comment yet.
All right.
Well, how about that?
If you punch Steve Buscemi, he's going to get you.
All right.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is the conclusion of our time together.
So I'm going to say goodbye to YouTube and Rumble and X. I'm going to see if I can figure out how to stay and talk to the locals people, if the gods of technology will allow me to do it.
But goodbye to everybody else, unless this doesn't work, in which case you'll all be here.
