It is good to see you again, all my digital neighbors.
See, I stole that from Mr. Rogers.
Come on in.
It's gonna be an excellent day.
But let me check the stock market a little bit up.
And about Tesla a little bit up, but got hammered yesterday.
So got a lot to make up.
Well, today is gonna be a fascinating day.
I promise it'll be fascinating.
Let me get my comments going and then we'll hit the road.
Well, not the road.
We'll hit the feedback.
No.
What would we be hitting?
All right.
We've got it all working now.
Yes.
Well, too doop too doop to do.
Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization.
It's the best thing that'll ever happen to you, but in case you'd like to take a chance on elevating your experience up to levels that no one can even understand with their tiny shiny human brains.
All you need for that is uh copper margaret glass attacker, Chalice Stein, a canteen junk or flask vessel of any kind to fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee.
And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dope media of the day, the thing that makes everything better.
It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens.
That's right now.
Oh, it's the elixir of life.
Well, would you believe that according to Eric Dolan who's writing for a side post that artificial intelligence um is less trusted than humans during a crisis?
So um, not in general, but during if it's a crisis response.
So that makes sense.
You know, yeah I feel as if uh people will be trusting AI for some things, depending on the topic, but they will trust human beings for other things, and the reason they'll trust human beings over AI for some things is that the human would have to go to jail if they were lying, or if they got caught, they would never get repeat business.
So human beings have consequences if they lie to you and get caught.
Whereas an AI, you know, could be right, could be wrong.
So sometimes, yeah, you're gonna you're gonna trust the uh human over the AI.
But this reminds me of the uh funniest story that I've heard in a while.
I was just laughing about it on the pre-show that most of you didn't see.
Um apparently it has been discovered that some therapists are using an AI app.
I think this was on Reddit or something.
Now, I don't know if it's true, but this is the funniest thought that there's somebody who's uh it makes me want to be a therapist.
Yeah, the reason I would never want to be a therapist is that it would be horrible listening to people's you know terrible stories all day long, like you it would just you know gnaw at your brain because you just hear so much negativity and they come back next week and they're not really any better.
You know, it would just really weigh you down.
But what if work with me here?
What if you could be paid to be a therapist and you didn't have to listen at all?
You have to only pretend.
So you just have to sit in a chair with your legs crossed and your your phone on your lap so that your cov your client can't see the phone and turn on the app, turn down the uh the the volume on the phone so that when you know it can listen,
but if it talks, it will be silent, and you could just read the text, and uh don't listen to what the client is saying, and then when it when he stops, just look at what your AI would say as the response and just read it.
And you would never have to actually listen to anybody's terrible story.
You just wait until there's a gap in the talking, and then you look down and go, I wonder if your trauma stems from that's my next job.
Fake therapist.
Apparently, reportedly, Gulf News is reporting.
Jay Hillton that uh Elon Musk is successfully poaching a bunch of AI experts from Meta.
And Meta has been offering these ginormous pay packages up to 300 million dollars.
Can you imagine?
Have you ever gotten a job offer that was 300 million dollars for just sort of going to work and doing the thing that you like doing anyway, probably.
That's a pretty good job.
But apparently, people are turning down 300 million dollar packages, and you know, that that would be at the highest end, of course.
Um, and apparently uh Musk's uh AI has recruited uh as many as 18 of the best AI engineers for Meta.
Interesting.
And the the narrative here is that they're they're moving because uh less important than all that crazy money is the mission speed, the equity upside, and a startup vibe, not just cash.
Do you believe that and is that the choice you would have made?
Let's say somebody goes to you and says, I will guarantee you'll make 300 million dollars over I don't know, five years, and all you have to do is come to work and you know give your best, which you were gonna do anyway,
and probably it would be working with other really bright people, and then the alternative is that you get to work with Elon Musk and you know, see how that whole situation is like, um, and you'd probably learn something that maybe it would be sexier,
maybe it'd be more successful, maybe there would be fewer impediments and bureaucratic you know, BS, maybe there would be a smaller chance that you would be I don't know, D DI'd or there'd be some kind of woke problem over there, less odds of that.
Um but would you turn down let's say a guaranteed 200 million dollars over five years to take the the lesser money because you know the equity might be worth something too if everything worked out.
I don't know.
I or it could be that the difference between having a hundred million dollars and having three hundred million dollars isn't that much, you know, because in either case, if you want it, I guess you could get your own airplane.
To me, that's the uh dividing line between the the really rich and the people who are just doing well, the really rich have their own airplane.
If you if you don't think you can afford your own like jet, you're not super rich.
Um I'm in that category.
I I certainly am nowhere near being able to afford my own jet sitting outside the house.
Well, here's a uh some good news for Tesla.
Um according to Edmonds, that's that car expert kind of a book.
Uh the model Y Tesla is the best car they drove out of 200 vehicles.
Uh that's pretty good.
The best one out of 200 vehicles.
And uh Joe Rogan was saying it's um amazing car, and I heard uh Jason from the All InPod, you all know Jason.
Um hi Jason, you're probably watching.
Um he said it was I think he said the model Y was the best car he's ever experienced, and I think he's had you know, he share a good cars.
So it's kind of exciting.
So here's my deal.
Um, I don't want anybody to you know arrange anything for me.
I I like it to happen organically.
But whenever whenever I can get a model Y that will drive itself with no human being in it, it has to be no human being in it.
Um, from wherever it comes from to my driveway, has to come all the way to the driveway.
Doesn't count if it only goes to the dealership and I have to pick it up.
So as soon as that's available, I'll probably I think I'll order one online and and then take a little video of it showing up in my driveway.
Because it's really gonna be history, you know.
There'll be there'll be one time ever that it was the first time you could order a car online and it would drive itself to your driveway.
So I want to get that on camera, you know, even on my phone.
Anyway, um let's see, Israel's science that they didn't need to do because they could have just asked Scott.
Oh, here's one.
According to the public library of science, they actually did a study to find out if cannabis improves sleep.
Now, their context was uh where other drugs fail.
Now I haven't tried any of those other drugs, but uh you really didn't need to test the proposition of whether marijuana can help you get to sleep.
May I just tell you with complete authority?
Yes.
You know who else you could have asked?
100% of all the people who have ever tried marijuana, every one of them would tell you, oh yeah, that'll get you to sleep.
Now, I will acknowledge that there might be some people who have bad experiences because you know everybody's different.
But generally speaking, now I'm not your doctor, so I'm not recommending it.
So hear me carefully.
Uh, when I talk about these things, it's because it's funny or it's interesting.
It's not a recommendation.
But yeah, you didn't really need to study that.
Does it work better than the other drugs?
I don't know, but I'd be willing to bet it is.
Well, I love this uh no tax on tips idea because today I learned that it will include digital content creators.
Do you see the opportunity for abuse of the no tax on tips?
You know, I was wondering, um, you know, are are people gonna pretend that they're being tipped instead of paid in just a whole bunch of regular jobs?
Uh yeah, when the plumber comes.
I think plumbers are included, actually.
But suppose the plumber comes and says, uh, I worked all day, uh, here's my bill, it's one dollar.
But I would really appreciate a tip of $700.
So you know that's gonna happen, right?
You know, there's a hundred percent chance people are gonna try to game the system and claim their regular income is is tips.
But believe it or not, digital content creators, like me, which is everything I do, it's all digital content creation, uh, are specifically listed as included in the no tax on tips.
I actually receive tips.
Isn't that funny?
I receive tips.
Now it's not much.
I mean it would be less than one percent of my income, way way less.
But people actually tip on, is it YouTube?
Somewhere I get tipped.
Um, I think in locals you could you could kind of do what they call a tip.
Oh, there, yeah, there it is.
Somebody uh Kobe Yard salad is uh tipping one dollar, so I can see that.
Thanks.
That was worth a dollar.
He got my attention.
I appreciate that.
So um, of course I'm a high profile person, so I'm I'm gonna make sure I do everything the right way.
I'm not gonna I'm not gonna test any laws, but it looks like it's not testing if it's legitimately a tip.
Um it looks like it's uh exempt.
Won't make much difference to me.
Well, uh, you might not know, or maybe you did that Google was in court, um, the Department of Justice was looking at maybe breaking them up because they were a big old monopoly, said the government.
But uh Google sort of won, uh, in the sense that they will not get broken up, but they had to agree to not enter into exclusive agreements.
So um an aspect, uh yeah, an aspect of their uh um uh you could say m monopoly, but maybe it doesn't qualify for that technically, but an aspect of it they gotta change, but they don't have to break up the company.
So that's a big deal.
Here's the weirdest part of the story.
It's a story about breaking up Google, and the judge's last name is Meta, except there's an H in it, M-E-H-T-A.
What are the odds that Meta would rule on Google?
All right.
Apparently, according to Breitbart News, Lucas Nolan's writing about this, that uh there's some European activist who's figuring out how to use AI to do facial recognition on people wearing masks.
He only has to, uh or the AI only has to see 35% of the face and it can identify the person.
Now apparently it's being used to identify ICE officers, you know, their masks to avoid being you know retaliated against.
And uh I'm not sure I believe that.
Do you believe that AI can identify somebody reliably by 35% of their face?
And if you're wearing a a mask, why would 35% of your face be showing?
Because wouldn't you usually have a hat?
Um I mean, it's just your eyes, right?
It's the only thing.
So maybe, you know, maybe it doesn't work every time, or maybe it works for some people.
But here's my related question.
Was it not a really big thing uh recently that there were some apps before AI, so these were not AI apps that would do facial recognition, like ClearView was one.
And it was a big old scandal, and you know, where they get their data and who where they scrape it from, blah, blah, blah.
And uh I was wondering if that's just one of the first things that will just be driven out of business by AI.
Because AI probably don't you think you could put a uh I haven't tested this, maybe some of you have.
Could you put a picture of a non-famous person into, let's say, ChatGPT or Grok and have it tell you who it is, but if they had a social media presence, which almost everybody does.
So if they had ever had a social media post with their name attached to it, or they're part of any local news story.
Just strange noise outside, it has passed.
Um, so would AI be able to do facial recognition with no real training?
You just put in a picture and say, what do you think?
It's probably close to that.
Yeah, I don't, I don't know.
The the claim is kind of maybe too spectacular to be true, but it might be true.
So here's some Trump news that's always funny.
Have you ever noticed that no matter what the story is, no matter what the topic is, if Trump is part of it, there's something that's a little bit funny About it.
Is it just me?
Because I don't think that's true of any other politician ever.
That it's just there's always something.
You know, there's just something that's like one degree off of how the world is supposed to work.
And that one degree of difference is what triggers your laugh response.
You're like, no, that's not supposed to be like that.
And Trump just continually does things that you didn't really expect to happen.
You didn't really expect somebody would say that.
It's not the end of the world stuff.
It's just that he does things that nobody expects anybody to do, which is part of his magic.
So here's what he's done now.
He's moved Space Command headquarters to Huntsville, Alabama.
And here's the funny part.
I don't know how serious this is.
But he says that Huntsville, Alabama, because Space Command Headquarters will be there.
He said, uh, we'll be known as Rocket City.
And the first thing I asked myself was Huntsville, Alabama know that Trump just renamed their city to Rocket City.
Or did he just make that up, which is just as funny?
Or does he just think that that will be his nickname city, like you know, Detroit was what was the nickname for Detroit?
Motor City.
So uh maybe he's just trying to make it a thing, but it would be funnier if he was proposing renaming Huntsville without asking Huntsville about it.
But there's just something funny about that.
He he's great at branding.
So instead of making you think about you know the big rockets and everything and the jobs that are created, he he's immediately making me think, Rocket City, huh?
It's kind of catchy.
Anyway, in other Trump news, uh Ryan Ruth, the the uh would-be assassin of uh Trump, yeah, he's the one who hid in the bushes at the golf course, but they caught him.
So he's going to trial, and he's he's decided to represent himself at a murder, at an attempted murder trial.
Is it attempted murder?
I don't know what the charges are.
I assume it's attempted murder.
Um but he's sort of a crazy guy, but he might be smart enough to play extra crazy because it might you know affect his sentence or how he gets treated or something.
So the question I'm asking myself is is he smart enough uh to know that if he represents himself, because you know, they they have him obviously you know dead to rights.
They've you know, it's not like there's any chance he was innocent of what he was doing.
So if he represents himself, he gets a uh sort of a theater and a stage to prove to the world that he's way crazier than you thought, and to that point, he just uh uh did some kind of official court motion uh to challenge to challenge Trump to uh a round of golf,
and uh he he said, quote, uh about Trump, he goes if if he wins, he can execute me.
I win, I get his job.
Now, if he keeps doing that kind of stuff uh in his defense, uh I'm gonna conclude that he's not as dumb.
He might not be as crazy or as dumb as you imagine he is because it would be a wonderful play.
I mean, it like it's the best he can do is to be you know judged insane, and it looks like he's really gonna go for it.
But I'll tell you what I thought.
I was hoping Trump would take the deal.
Imagine if Trump took the deal.
Now I know he can't, because you know, the Department of Justice, he can't, he's not a dictator, he can't he can't just decide to golf with somebody and then execute him.
But what I love about it is that you know Trump would win.
Like it seems Unlikely that this guy can golf as well as Trump, you know, who reportedly is a very good golfer.
Um, and it would just take care of the whole situation kind of quickly, just uh 18 holes of golf, and then everybody wins, everybody gets what they want.
Anything.
All right, here's another funny Trumpism.
Um, this is just a quote from a larger statement he was making at the recent press conference.
He goes, without the United States, everything in the world would die again.
Nobody would say that.
It's literally nobody nobody in the world would say that, much less the president of the United States.
Without the United States, everything in the world would die.
I don't even know what to call that.
Thank you.
Do you call that a uh an artful exaggeration?
Is it uh political hyperbole?
Is it sales?
Is it salesmanship?
Like, what is that?
The only thing I know is that I love it.
I love that he said everything the world would die.
But it gets better, it gets better because he was apparently he was asked, I don't know where, I just saw the quotes.
He was asked about three uh so-called leaders of the Democratic Party, and listen, uh listen to how Trump sums them up so quickly.
Alright, so he was asked what he thinks about Jasmine Crockett and he said, that can't be serious.
That is the funniest brief summary of a person's entire persona that you've ever heard.
I can't be serious.
Then he was asked about Maxine Waters.
He says, she's an insult to intelligence.
You you kind of know what it means, but the words the words are wrong.
How can you be an insult to intelligence?
So he makes me stop and think about it.
It's like, wait, her intelligence could be an insult to something, but how can she be an insult to okay?
I know what you mean.
It's just so funny the way he says it.
But here's the best one.
I saved the best one for last.
He was asked what he thinks of AOC.
says she speaks like a mouse a little mouse Oh my god.
That's all I'll ever hear for the rest of my life.
Every time I hear her talk from now on, I'm gonna say, huh?
She does speak sort of like a mouse.
A little mouse, and not even just a mouse, but one of the small ones.
Oh my god.
Oh if you still believe that when he says things that are hilarious or impactful or make you pay attention or reframe something, if you think it's it's luck, what's wrong with you?
It's it's so clearly consistent.
The the consistency with which he's just the best writer in the world, really.
Um I know that I'll be alone in that opinion, but uh I'll I'll say it again, he's the best writer in the world.
Nobody can do uh just what he did in one day.
Nobody can do that.
Anyway, uh I said there's some pictures going around on X and social media, and allegedly the story is that Senator Corey Booker has announced that he's engaged to his girlfriend Alexis Lewis, and there are some photos of them looking very happy in what looks like the scene in which he must have just proposed.
Yeah, she's all delighted and smiling, and he's smiling.
Here's the problem.
She has one extra toe.
If you know where I'm going with this, and uh I don't think that that's natural because she'd probably be wearing shoes if she had an extra toe.
And the ring that he allegedly gave her, uh, wasn't a diamond ring, it was a wedding band, according to the photo that she's showing off that it's a wedding band.
Now, do you think that a senator would not know enough that a wedding band is not the right answer for proposing, and that if, for example, let's say the diamond, you know, engagement ring that he should have ordered.
Um, if for example, that had been delayed, and maybe he had meant to ask her on some special day, but it got delayed, the right answer is to wait for the ring.
Am I right, ladies?
Can you back me on this?
The right answer would be whatever you do, don't give her a wedding band as an engagement ring, even if it's a placeholder.
No, not even as a placeholder.
That's my advice.
Anyway, uh, it looks to me like AI.
So I don't know if the base story is correct.
You know, maybe somebody took a true story and added some AI pictures, but it doesn't look real to me.
Now, here's what's interesting about this.
We know that there will be AI things that we believe to be true.
I mean, I already fell for the bear on the trampoline, which by the way, the the the more time that goes by, the the dumber I feel for falling for a bear on a trampoline.
Like, what?
What were you thinking?
I wanted it to be true, so I just willed it into you know feeling true in my mind.
Uh, but no, there was no bear using a trampoline, but we're gonna have the the opposite situation too, and this is funny.
There will be some number of real things that people don't believe are real because you'd think only AI could create that, right?
Have you have you run into that yet?
So sometimes it will be AI pretending to be real, but other times it'll be a real thing, and you'll say, I'm pretty sure that's AI.
This is one of those situations, maybe.
I don't know if it's AI trying to fool me, or if Cory Booker just looks like an AI generated character, because all four pictures they were smiling and laughing like hyenas, and I don't think either of them in the real world would have allowed all of the pictures to be laughing hyena pictures,
they would have picked at least one where they just were you know in love or something, not like oh, so that looked like an AI choice of poses.
We'll find out probably by the end of the day, somebody will know if that was real.
Well, the post-millennials writing that Trump has ordered the removal of gender ideology from public school curricula, and if they don't do it, their federal funds will be cut.
Um I'm no expert on you know, gender or the psychology of it or the medical parts of it.
I've usually tried to stay out of all the the trans stuff and the gender things.
You probably noticed that, right?
You've noticed that I just usually ignore those stories.
Uh, sometimes you can't, but I'm just not super interested in it as a news topic.
It just I don't know, feels like the same story just over and over again with a different person in it.
However, when we're talking about uh gender ideology being taught to children, there is one element here in which I would claim some expertise, and it goes like this.
I can tell You with certainty that you could uh confuse a child about their gender or sex um with hypnosis, and I can further confirm that you don't need to be hypnotist to do it, and then further confirm that all it would take is any adult in an authority position to tell them something and say this is true, it's all it would take.
So if a uh young child were you know were to be, let's say, influenced by a teacher who happened to say, uh, yes, it's very common, you might be in the wrong body, definitely, you know, um, so if you have any inklings in that direction, uh, I'm sure it's true, you should really explore that.
Uh, you might your life might be way better if you found out that you were in the wrong body.
If you had a teacher who was it wasn't trying to influence you to change, but simply that was the way they described it.
So they have no bad intent, they have no intent at all.
They're just trying to educate you.
But if they described it that way, how many how many children would effectively be hypnotized into thinking that they were the other gender, and then a chain of uh, you know, cause and effect would would begin, that probably would not work out well.
Now, for other people, and this is the reason you know, me not being an expert, I usually stay out of the topic.
There might be people for whom it exactly was the right thing and saves their life.
I don't know.
I mean, I wouldn't vouch for it, but it it seems within the realm of possibility, because people are so different, that there might be somebody for whom it was a real lifesaver.
Uh, but I can guarantee you the only part I have some expertise in, you know, because I'm a trained hypnotist, as all of you know.
Um, I can guarantee you that you can convince people that they're the wrong sex if they're young enough.
Guarantee it.
So that would suggest that Trump's idea of removing it so that it doesn't accidentally influence people.
Makes sense from the hypnotist perspective.
Any other perspective, as in psych psychologists or biological experts, um I'm uh I'll leave that to them.
Well, Malcolm Gladwell, you might know him, he's uh one of the most famous authors in the United States, and apparently there was some point he was at a public forum and he said something about um supportive of trans athletes,
in other words, uh people born as men playing in women's sports, and he was uh I guess he was uh um agreeing that that was a good idea in some public way, and now he's come out and there's a video in which he says he's ashamed of having said in a previous panel discussion that trans women have a place in women's sports, and here's the interesting part.
He says he was quote cowed into saying so, and now he says, quote, trans athletes have no place in the female category, he says.
Now, without getting into the uh quality of his argument before or after, I would like to point out the following.
Does it feel to you like the truth is having a comeback?
Or may or maybe you know, for the first time ever it's risen.
There seems to be something happening where people are sort of confessing the truth, you know, meaning their actual opinion.
Does it feel like that?
You know, that might be wishful thinking on my part.
I don't know.
But I appreciate um I appreciate anybody who is willing to make that kind of a public correction to something that they're not proud of.
So good for you.
Good for you, Malcolm Gladwell.
But again, you know, as far as his opinion, that's his opinion.
So you don't need me to weigh in on that.
Um the Trump administration seemed to be doing nothing on housing costs when that's a gigantic problem for people.
I have.
But it looks like, uh, according to Zero Edge, uh Scott Bassent has been quoted as saying that the government may declare a national housing emergency in the fall.
Now, what does that mean?
Well, uh, it doesn't mean we know the details, but what it does mean is that the federal government would get you know w neck deep into the business of affordability of housing.
Now, as you know, Kami Mamdami, the guy who's probably gonna win mayor in New York City, came up with this brilliant affordability thing, and I I just have to compliment that.
That was a nice focus for a politician and fit the times and and he made it work.
Um, but it's also the sort of thing that you could pick off.
It doesn't preclude anybody else from making something affordable.
And Trump's, you know, made energy more affordable and eggs more affordable, and it was just sort of lacking that there wasn't something happening in any way at all for housing.
Now you could argue that the you know um the immigration aggressiveness caused more open places, which would cause supply and demand, there'd be more supply, so the price would go down.
But I don't think he did it for that reason.
That that was just sort of a you know byproduct that you might enjoy.
But uh some of the things that they're talking about are standardizing local building and zoning codes.
I've always thought that that might have some potential, and uh maybe some tariff exemptions for housing materials.
Um, but they don't really know.
So they're gonna declare the emergency, maybe.
Doesn't sound like it's a dumb decision.
But uh I like it.
Uh if declaring it in emergency gave them some powers to do something that just you know really needs to be done, such as standardizing building codes.
I don't know if the federal government even has that power, but I would be in favor of uh here's my ultimate dream.
My ultimate dream is that somebody designs a set of homes that are essentially the same on the inside, but maybe there's 12 different models just to pick a number.
So if you have kids or you're retired or you're you know athletic family, or you do, or you don't have a dog, you know, the houses would all be different.
But there would be if if there are 12 of them, the odds that one of them is exactly what you want is pretty good.
So you don't have a federal standard that changes every building code everywhere.
You simply say if you build any of these 12 homes and you hit you know these kinds of standards for building, the the state won't be able to say anything, or the the local government.
So that would be maybe a faster way, because you know, standardizing all the different states, they do have different, I mean, there's different climates and everything, so it get really complicated.
But it wouldn't be complicated to say if you use this set of materials and you use and you build it to one of these 12 standards, you can just start building, or or something that would really streamline it.
Then the other thing is there are a number of technologies now where you can build a home with these Lego-like blocks that fit together, and they've already got, I think they already have the installation built into them, but one person can just pick one up and slam it together.
So what would happen if uh you had AI assisting you and you did the labor yourself and there was nothing to lift that was any heavier than you know a block kind of a thing, um, and you didn't have so you didn't have to pay an architect,
you didn't have to pay for approvals, you didn't have to wait for approvals, uh, or at least very long, and you didn't have to pay much in labor because it would be so simplified that anybody could put one of these houses together.
You could probably bring the cost of housing down by 50%, and everybody would still make a profit.
So I love I love how much potential there is, but I think it needs more invention than it does government anything.
Yeah, I I always felt like somebody like Apple or Tesla or something would finally say, All right, all right, let us build you some houses, or tell you how or make it easy, or figure out how to make it awesome.
I've also thought that the you know, depending on where you put it, you might want glass walls, but you'd want automated curtains, so you'd still have privacy.
So if they can make glass less expensive, so you can use it for a wall, like really thick glass, and it'd have to be really insulated and all that.
Anyway, I can talk about that all day.
Too boring, sorry.
There is a whole bunch of Epstein news.
I don't know why suddenly there's so much Epstein news.
Let's see if I can summarize it.
But the biggest news about all the Epstein news is there's no Epstein news.
The one thing you can be certain of, if there's Epstein news, there's no Epstein news, and that the news about Epstein will always be more about how you don't know what Epstein was up to.
So let's see, we had the Epstein victims who talked to Congress, but you and I couldn't listen to it, and we're never gonna hear any names, for example, of any famous people who might have been involved.
But um Representative Luna came out and said that you know, after listening to the survivors, she says that it's clear this thing could be a lot bigger.
Okay, that's not really new, because you always knew that it could have been a lot bigger than whatever you knew, and that rich and powerful people need to go to prison.
Okay, that's exactly what you're already thinking.
And she said it's possible that Epstein was a you know intelligence asset for an adversarial country, um, or not necessarily adversarial, but a foreign country, to which I say, yeah, everybody thought that might have been a thing.
And uh let's see, Nancy Mace, who had been a you know a victim of sexual abuse herself, she's open about talking about that, um, seemed visibly upset when she left.
So whatever they heard was pretty bad, and it triggered her because she had some presumably something PT PTSD like from her own experience.
Um we we got allegedly the missing one minute from the Epstein uh video outside of the the cell block.
So you know how the uh uh allegedly there was a missing minute, uh, but it was because the system changes over or something at a certain time.
So it was explained away as uh ordinary that all the videos miss a minute.
Uh but people insisted, and I guess what they did was they must have spliced the minute that follows onto the you know the naturally occurring piece of video, and which makes everybody think I'm not so sure that that uh I don't know if I should believe what this video says.
Uh so again, it didn't show anything.
So since we don't really believe you we saw the missing minute, it doesn't really add anything to the story.
So all the stories add nothing.
There are a whole bunch of Epstein files released, but they're redacted so much that you can't tell.
For example, uh, you we know that there were lots of flights that Epstein was on to his island, but we don't know who else was on.
We know that there were five to seven passengers on a lot of them.
Um but basically nothing new because there was too many redactions, and then uh Thomas Massey and Rokana getting together to press the Congress to vote for releasing all the Epstein Files.
Now, I thought that there was already agreement to release them.
Is is what's new about this that they would not have any redactions?
Because I can't believe that they would be in favor of no redactions.
So I don't know what it is that would be different if Congress said uh release all the files.
Because I thought Trump's in charge, and he already said release all the files.
So I'll need to figure out what that would add to the process if Congress got involved.
So I guess uh you have to get a bunch of signatures to force a house vote, and uh Massey's about halfway there.
Well, Washington Mayor Bowser, um, she issued an executive order telling her law enforcement people to work with the feds indefinitely.
So once again, there's more support, if you will, for what Trump is doing by surging forces into Washington, DC.
And some people are wondering: is this really what Bowser thinks is the right thing to do to cooperate with Trump?
Or is it strictly for political reasons?
To which I say, uh I don't know, maybe it's just smart.
Maybe it's political reasons matched with the fact that it works, and she wants to be a mayor who gets some stuff done.
Maybe it's that.
So good for her.
Um Greece is apparently getting really hard-lined on uh all the immigrants coming in.
Apparently, they have some massive immigration coming in from North Africa, and a lot of them claim uh uh what is it uh asylum?
But apparently, if you claim asylum and then it is eventually rejected, you could get up to two years in jail.
So that's pretty hardcore.
Um and uh Reuters is reporting on that, and uh, I guess Athens feels that they would lose their national identity if they let in too many immigrants.
It makes me wonder if the future will be entirely determined by who prevents people from getting in the country, and I wonder if anybody's noticed that nobody's trying to get into China or Russia or North Korea, like nobody's trying to get into those countries, and everybody's trying to get into the other countries, and I do wonder, um, as others have, yeah, if they're how much of this is organic.
Now, I know it's highly organized through NGOs and stuff, at least in our country, and I think in Europe, um, but it makes me wonder if the real power behind the power is our adversaries, because one great way to destroy a democracy would be to prey on their empathy and the fact that uh they don't have a strong leader who can close their border if the country is divided on the question.
So it would be a genius way to destroy all of your uh competing countries, if you were China, let's say.
Now, I don't I don't accuse them of it, but there's something about everything that's going on that doesn't look organic, and it doesn't look like it's just a bunch of people who got together because they felt the same about immigration and thought there should be more of it.
It doesn't feel like anything except intentionally destructive, but I could be wrong.
Well, as you know, Trump has sent uh quite a few uh Navy assets down to be around the Venezuelan coast because the um the head of Venezuela has been declared a cartel head and uh terrorist,
and so some of the terrorist entities um are going to be targeted directly by the U.S. military, and in case they wondered what that included, the military just blew up um a narco-terrorist boat full of drugs, and it didn't look like they tried too hard to stop them and get them to Surrender.
It looks like they just said narco boat, aim missiles, and goodbye.
Now, uh, of course it's well publicized.
You know, they made sure that there were videos of it.
If you were if you were a smuggler, and your job was to go through the American Navy, after you just saw a video of one shot, they didn't take multiple shots.
One shot, one missile, I assume.
Boom, the entire thing is gone.
They're all dead immediately.
It would be really hard for me to take that job.
All right, Scott, uh, we're gonna pay you really well.
Take your boat.
All you have to do is take your unarmed boat and get through the military blockade of the strongest military power in the history of the universe, as far as we know, except for the younger trias.
All right.
So that sent a message.
Some people are wondering if it's a prelude to invasion of Venezuela, and people are preemptively saying, oh, Trump better not start a war with Venezuela.
To which I say, um, I suppose anything's possible.
So I wouldn't rule it out, but I think it's far more likely since the leader has been declared uh the head of a cartel.
I don't think there would be an invasion, but there might be an Israeli kind of decapitation strike.
So I wouldn't be surprised if those warships off the coast lob a missile into the presidential palace, you know, if they if they know they've got a clean shot.
So that might happen.
And then I don't know who would take over if that happened.
Um, but if I had to guess it won't be, I don't think it'll be boots on the ground marine invasion.
Could be.
I mean, anything's possible, but that seems like a long shot to me.
Um that the story's boring.
That was boring.
So this uh fascinates me.
So Trump is pushing hard to get science and the pharma companies to know for sure if the uh the warp speed process of developing the uh what was called vaccination, but turned out just to be a shot um for COVID.
He wants to know if that was a good thing or a bad thing.
And I love the fact that he takes full responsibility for being the one who pushed it into existence, and he would like to be able to claim that it was a wonderful thing, but so many of his uh base are you know dead set against the idea that that was ever a good idea, and that it was they think it was his biggest downside uh for Trump.
So I like the fact that he's not just trying to lie to us and say something like, oh no, trust me, it was the best thing that ever happened to the country.
He's saying out loud that he doesn't know, which is very brave, actually.
And he's saying that he wants to know, and that he's uh putting pressure on Pfizer and others.
He says that he's seen documents by the pharma that uh would suggest it was you know a wonderful idea for the shot, but that it's not public, which automatically makes me think that whatever they showed him is not credible, because if they released it, maybe other people would look a little more deeply into the data and say, wait a minute, this doesn't look credible to me.
So yeah, I would like to know if the pharma entities are playing the president and the rest of the country, and I don't know how we'll ever know.
Um I guess I'd be skeptical that we could ever get to the bottom of it, because there's just so much money involved in maybe you know hiding any anything that would be bad news.
But I love Trump's approach to it.
He's you know, I even if it turned out that well, I won't speculate.
Um, as you know, the Kennedy Maha movement was supposed to produce a report about what caused autism.
They did reproduce a report, but it was sort of general and not something you could act on very well.
I mean, it was just sort of obvious things like it's the food, it's the environment, you know, um, maybe too much medicalization, but they're not sure.
So it didn't really come to a conclusion you could act on.
But turns out that there's a $50 million budget for uh any number of people that they decide, uh maybe 25 grant winners, to uh study it and to really really drill down and find out uh what's causing autism.
Now, my question is this, because also in this story, it says that they're going to be looking at existing databases.
Why would it cost 50 million dollars and take an estimated according to the story?
Um this is Reuters, um, two to three years.
$50 million, 25 grants, two to three years for existing data.
How can both of those things be true?
If if Trump was signed an executive order that said, if if the uh if Kennedy requests your data, you have to give it to him, or or you'll go to jail because it's an emergency.
You know, autism rates are so high it's an emergency.
So if we want your data, you you're not gonna be able to say it's you know, that it's private or anything.
We want your data.
So how well how would that take two to three years to analyze existing data if you solve the problem of making them give it to you?
What am I missing here?
I I feel as though if you've got 25 grants um and 50 million dollars, then you've already added two variables that would make any project fail.
Am I right?
If it let's say it wasn't about this topic, let's say it had nothing to do with autism, it was just a project.
And I told you there will be 25 grant winners trying to figure out from existing data what the problem is.
Would you imagine that that would work?
There's something wrong with you know, from even 30,000 feet in the air, I mean, which is all we know about it.
We don't know the details, but even from there, this doesn't look like a process that will bear fruit.
There's something wrong.
Here's what I would find credible.
Uh, we've asked Elon Musk uh to get his doge geniuses to spend one month looking at all the data, and we got an EO signed where everybody has to give it to us, and we're gonna do it in one month, and it's the smartest data people in the world will be looking at it, so we won't miss anything.
Now, I would believe that.
To me, that sounds like a process that could work.
But you tell me there's 25 grants in two to three years and 50 million dollars.
No way that works.
That's designed for failure, if you ask me.
Oh, is it uh has it been three years yet?
You know, if you gave me another five million dollars, I'm so close, so close to having an answer, but just five million more.
Give me that grant money.
Anyway, I hope we'll find out.
But just to make things complicated, according to New Atlas, Bronwyn Thompson is writing that nine in ten autistic adults over the age of 40 are undiagnosed, to which I say, how would we know that?
All right, but let's say we do.
Um people speculate about the zooming uh increase in autism is that the only thing that's improved is our ability to catch it early.
Do you think that's any part of the answer?
I I feel like it's not the answer.
Um, but is it a big part?
Because if we know that nine out of ten older people were undiagnosed, doesn't that mean that if they'd been young when we were good at diagnosing it, the number of autistic people would have been much higher than we imagine it was, and therefore the rate increase from then till now would be much smaller than what we are alarmingly looking at.
I don't know.
It feels like it's part of the answer, but I don't know if it's 10% or more than that.
Well, Russia is attacking uh Ukraine's energy facilities a little more aggressively, and also their transportation hubs, and I would and Ukraine is doing the same thing to Russia, so they're going after energy infrastructure and transportation in some ways,
and it makes me wonder if um that's signaling anything, that the real war, since the the war is about sending electrically charged things into the air to go kill your people, if they kill the electricity production in the other country, then they can't even charge their drones.
I mean, I I wonder if it could go that deep.
Do you think they can ever destroy enough infrastructure that even if you had a million drones, you just couldn't charge them.
You're sitting there in the dark.
Maybe.
So I'd I'd watch this uh energy attacks strategy that they both seem to have.
All right.
I saw a story in the South China Morning Post, Richard Havis, that uh it asks the question, can you train your mind to be happy?
And it says, Yes, expert says.
Um, would you like to know how?
Would you like me to train you with my hypnosis experience and my reframing experience into into how to be happier?
Somebody says no.
All right, well, I won't hypnotize you, I'll just tell you how to do it.
All right.
Number one, um, whatever you think about the most is who you are, and you can change what you think about the most.
It's easy.
Watch.
Think about your favorite animal.
Could you do it?
Of course you could.
Yeah, you all had a different favorite animal, but when I said think about your favorite animal, you can do it.
So that was when your brain was focusing on a cool thing that you liked, your favorite animal.
Probably made you a little bit happy.
I mean, just a little bit.
But during that time you're thinking about your favorite animal, you weren't thinking about some bad thing that could have potentially put you in a bad mood or uh you know, affect your energy or make you anxious or anything.
So I just proved to you that if you just remember as a habit to change your thinking from whatever negative stuff to positive stuff, and it's really that easy.
Just think about stuff you like.
Everybody likes something.
Think about a person you like, uh, experience you had, um, a walk on the beach, if that's your thing.
Just think about it and reduce the shelf time that you give to the bad thoughts.
Because how much do you think about something is what creates the structure in your brain that becomes semi-permanent?
You can usually change it, but some it becomes a little semi-permanent.
So the more you think about positive things, the happier you're going to be.
I would also say that although the science says that your happiness is not that affected by your environment, I Um that's not true.
Your happiness is totally affected by your environment.
If your environment is a loving family, you don't think you'd be a little bit happier than if you were sitting all alone in your little apartment, like some of you are.
I I think it's absurd to imagine that changing your situation won't make you happier.
You don't think that going from poor, where you're you're panicked about eating, uh to well off, you don't Think that that would make you happier because you didn't have to worry about starving.
Of course I would.
I guarantee it would make you happier.
So yeah, fix fix your physical um exposure, meaning go outside, you know, make sure that you're around some beauty and that you're not looking at depressing gray things.
Um, I would even change my commute if it took a few minutes to go through a more attractive place.
If you're gonna look at it every day, it's better to expose yourself to the attractive route than the you know fast industrial route.
The other thing is um, I don't know if you've ever experienced this, but unless you've got pretty serious mental problems, I'll bet you're happy whenever your body feels good.
Am I right?
You know, if you're a certain age, you're always got some aches and pains and you're too tired and whatever.
But every now and then you'll have this experience where you got enough sleep and you don't have any special pain, and you're just sitting in a chair feeling good.
Do you think that makes you happy?
Totally.
Totally.
So what you do with your body to make you feel good more often will absolutely affect your happiness.
It will absolutely affect your uh anxiety, it will help all of that, and we know how to do that.
You eat right, which you can learn, you exercise right, which you can learn.
You know, I always advise people to do it, take it slow and just make it a continuous learning process, you know, continuously learning what to eat, continuously learning what exercises work best for your particular body.
So it's more of a learning, continuous learning thing.
That's a good frame to put on it.
Anyway, um, if you can make your body happy because you exercise and it just feels good, it'll make your brain happier.
If you can look in the mirror because you exercised and ate right, and you say to yourself, huh, I look pretty darn good for my age, whatever your age is, um, yes, absolutely do that.
It'll make you feel better.
So, and then I'm gonna leave you with one um positive story here that I find very impressive.
Uh, there's a gentleman that I follow on social media named King Randall.
Now, his first name is King, don't judge him by that.
But he is a uh youngish, I don't know, I don't know how young, but he's a younger man, and uh he runs a program where he teaches kids um how to do practical things that especially if you're in an economically disadvantaged place, you wouldn't know how to do, and maybe you don't have a father.
So he's black.
Um, almost all or maybe all of the kids that he trains, um, I think are black.
But here's what I love about him.
Um he teaches reframes.
I don't know if he thinks of it that way, but here's one uh that he talked about on social media.
Part of what he teaches the kids is manners and etiquette.
So there's a little video of uh some young black kids learning you know how to have a nice meal and you know handle the etiquette of that, and I guess he got some pushback from people saying that he was training them to act white or something, and his response was that manners are not about acting white, manners are power, manners are power.
That's why you do it.
Now, I have I have taught a few young people in in my circle exactly that lesson.
That's exactly what I tell people.
If you suggest, no, I'm thinking of my ex-stepson, he was departed, but when he was around, if he wasn't doing things that good etiquette or manners suggested, the way I would explain it to him, I would say, hold on.
You don't do manners because of how it makes you feel, you don't do it because somebody told you to do it, you know.
And I go through all the reasons that that's not why you do it.
The reason you do it is power.
Everybody wants to spend time with polite people.
We want to hire them.
We want to work with them.
We want them to be our friends.
We want to marry them.
We want them to marry our family.
It's power.
And so when I see uh King Randall um do that reframe on his kids, if he's telling them that's how they succeed in life, he is not focusing on race whatsoever.
In fact, I don't know if I've even heard him mention it.
I he doesn't he doesn't really mention race.
I I'm sure he does sometimes but it's not really a focus.
Here's what he focuses on instead.
Personal strategies for success.
Because manners are a personal strategy for success.
It's not about your race.
It would be exactly the same strategy for everybody.
It just happens to be that you know he's working with a particular demographic.
But it would be the same for everybody.
I would love that to be a universal so then i if this were not awesome enough he also teaches him things like how to change a tire uh how to how to change the oil in a car and it's a long list of things you know that he teaches them and oh my god it's a it's a strategy for life.
Instead I used to go to Boy Scouts or Cub Scouts, I guess.
Cub Scouts and Cub Scouts they say to earn this badge learn how to carve a leather um coffee coaster or something.
Completely useless skills just to get a badge that's not a strategy for life.
It was just a waste of time.
But if you're learning real things that you will need to do in your real life that's a strategy.
And so he's teaching this kid strategy for success.
But then, just to make it even wilder how smart he is, King Randall, he started organizing a very early morning run in his city.
And he got like, I don't know, 100 people to show up or 50 to show up the first time.
And then they all had a good time because they were outdoors and they did a thing where they were with other people who were like-minded.
and we're looking to get some exercise.
And they just all had a good time.
They told their friends.
And pretty soon there were 100 people.
So 100 people would meet just to go for this mass run really early in the morning.
He just topped out at 300 people.
Maybe because it was a holiday or something.
He just got 300 people to not just once, but it looks like they want to be part of this regular running group.
300 people.
And it also turned diverse.
you know I saw the earlier photos it looked like it was almost a hundred percent black now it looks like maybe it's closer to 20% diverse again perfect because it has nothing to do with race it's a strategy for success.
If you can get off your ass and get off in the morning you'll meet some people you'll feel like you accomplished something you'll be healthier the healthier will allow you to do everything better find a mate get a job everything so um keep an eye on King Randall because his ability to pick out what matters the strategy of life and then to get people to buy into it is pretty remarkable.
So keep an eye on him.
Follow him on uh X if you can all right that is all I have for you I want to talk now privately to the people that are my beloved followers I guess I'll call them community beloved community on locals.
