Episode 2198 Scott Adams - Reality Is Changing Right In Front Of Us. Wild Times. Bring Coffee

that's the name thank you for reminding me good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization and you know what I say let there be light Let There Be lighting let us be prepared for once look at that look at that that's called production and quality impressive I know if you'd like to take this production quality up to a level that nobody's ever seen before well all you need is a cup of mug or a glass a tanker cellist I'm a canteen geographer of Alaska vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee and join me now in the unparalleled pleasure the dopamine hit of the day the thing makes everything better it's called the simultaneous Sip and it happens now go yes I did get a haircut thanks for mentioning it do I look more like my mug now yeah look at that identical you cannot tell the difference between me and the picture on my coffee mug which one's me you can't tell you can't tell well today is just the weirdest weirdest wonderful day there is bad news too but everything is weird and I'll I'll walk you through it but that's the theme for today reality has started to bend in a way that's really remarkable everything's in play right now everything you think is true is on the table doesn't mean it's false but everything's in play right now I don't think I've ever seen that before have you does this seem different to you are we here's what I think I think that the civilization is going to another level of awareness and it's going to be a bumpy ride the bumpiness is what we're feeling now but if you look at what we understand at least the informed part of the public what we understand to be true is changing in such a fundamental way in just the last few years but it seems to excel have accelerated and even today I would say has reached some kind of Peaks so far it's going to keep going but here are the stories of the day did I see that Sam bankman freed the crypto alleged scammer guy is back in prison and is it true because I saw this and I need a confirmation to this did he really get put in the same jail that Epstein died in does that really happen in the real world that actually happened can somebody confirm that can you confirm it's the same place that Epstein I mean not the same cell but all right I'm not seeing a confirmation of that but I I saw it on social media so I don't know I thought I thought you'd be confirming that by now but you're not so let's put a question mark on that so uh Stephen King famous writer and Lefty political person Stephen King um he asked this question and uh uh I thought it was uh worthy of me answering it on Twitter he said on Twitter so here's a question if you consider yourself a loyal American how can you possibly support a man who fomented Insurrection in the United States capital that was that a good question well it's a good question if you live in a certain bubble of reality so I thought hey who better to clear up this situation than me so I answered him and I said he was talking about the January 6th and I said it's an absurd narrative half the country believes that's why you were so confused you have literally been brainwashed by your team and then parenthetically I said I'm a trained hypnotist by the way so I'm speaking as an expert uh and then I said find out how many times you've had the same experience with this quiz and then I attached to his tweet the 20 or so I don't know what it's up to 20 or so major political hoaxes that everybody on the left believed now what do you think happened if he saw my tweet now I attached 20 examples that are just like this one 20.

they're just like this they're things that didn't happen but his news told them they did now now he hasn't responded so at least I haven't seen it I don't expect him to respond um but are you curious what somebody's brain would do aren't you he did no he did he didn't block me um I don't think he blocked me but are you curious what would happen to his brain if he saw it so just walk yourself through this so suppose he sees that the Tweet comes from me now presumably he would know what Dilbert is and who the Dilbert guy is do you think is that a fair assumption that you would recognize my name what do you think probably probably you know most writers know other writers Etc so he would probably be aware and then he might check to see how many followers I have as sort of a you know indication of weight so you see I have a million followers and he would see that my interpretation is very different from his and that my interpretation does answer the question that doesn't make it right it's just that you know the answer I gave fits the variables in question right there's nothing that's not explained by it but what would he do what do you think a normal human brain would do when presented with an opposite reality that actually makes sense now it's it's doubly interesting because he's a fiction writer of you know great renowned if you're a fiction writer isn't it a little bit easier to move from you know one reality to another if you're given the opportunity I think that people write fiction can move move realities a little bit easier than other people because they're used to sort of living in a fake reality while they write it you know so it's just a it's a capability you develop if you're a writer basically a fiction writer I do it when I write comics in order to write a Dilbert comic I put myself in the office I go okay I'm standing there I'm in this situation what's happening now so I'd be very curious if he looks at the list of 20 hoaxes and he does what I've seen other people do all 20 of those are true do you think that's going to happen do you think he's going to look at a list of 20 hoaxes which by the way the news the news admits are hoaxes like the you know the the hunter laptop would be the the best example anybody who looks at this list can very clearly see that the news has been giving you ridiculous fake news for years what do you think it would happen now here's what should happen there should be massive cognitive dissonance meaning that the reaction would look like word salad or or an attack here's what you would expect he would attack me personally oh aren't you the canceled racist guy right so that would give him something to say without having to address any of the points so that'd be one way so you could predict that one thing would just be a personal insult another thing would be ignoring it completely because it's too awkward to respond to it can you imagine if he responds he's never responded to me in the past I've tweeted at him a few times so not responding would be my first guess I think the odds of him responding are no more than 10 percent but the other possibility is wild hallucinations where you say everything on the list is true why are you saying these are hoaxes etc etc but he actually believes that people wandering around without weapons were at intent on literally Conquering the country like actually you believe that you know a lot of people do I saw the comments uh well the U.S Department of Health and Human Services has advised their employees in San Francisco to work remotely because the city is too dangerous that's right the federal government just told its employees not to go outdoors in San Francisco it's too dangerous not to go Outdoors don't even be there the place is too too dangerous um so at the same time a uh it was a video of the Oakland Police riding around in a armored vehicle an armored vehicle in Oakland so basically the you know the police have gone full military I do you think you should walk around in Oakland no also do you think you should drive through Oakland or near it not unless you got a full tank of gas and make sure your cell phone's charged because you don't want to have your car break down anywhere near Oakland our cities are frankly too dangerous a number of people ask me my book will be I hope if everything goes right on Thursday this coming week my book will be available for sale my new book called reframe your brain which will be the biggest thing that ever happened in the United States um even if you don't realize it it will be anyway you might not know it but it will be the most important book ever published excluding religious documents um but people ask me hey Scott are you going to do a book tour you know where authors go and they they go into population centers and they sign books for people not a freaking chance do you know what it would take to get me to go to a city in 2023 do you think I would actually go to San Francisco how about Berkeley do you think I would go to Berkeley do you think I would visit Oakland and sign some books how about Washington D.C New York City Los Angeles because those are the places you go right you always do Los Angeles New York maybe Washington DC those are the book tour places not a chance I'm not going I wouldn't go near any of those places number one as a canceled person who just wouldn't be safe I would make one exception though I would make one exception uh it's unlikely that this would happen but if I ever got invited to be on The Breakfast Club uh this is Chicago right Chicago I would do that I would actually get on the plane and go to go to Chicago to talk to those guys because I think they're kind of cool and they would be exactly the it would be exactly the right you know kind of tension for entertainment but I would take a uh risk of dying to go into Chicago to do that because I think it'd be worth doing all right um so no no city tours um I do plan to do some podcasts but we'll see how that goes well ESG continues to decline there's a report for Bloomberg the ESG has been removed from some parts of the Mc.

Donald's website um now I don't know if that was intentional or maybe they were just you know revamping the website or something so there could be an explanation but I would say would you agree that ESG is literally embarrassing who who would agree with me with that characterization that if you work for a company that's putting ESG on their website that's embarrassing because I think we all understand what's going on at this point you know I don't know who doesn't know at this point that ESG is just ridiculous destructive ridiculous destructive now you might not know that the other day I uh changed the world you don't know yet but you'll figure it out and I did it with a reframe by the way the new book that comes out next week is a book of reframes teaches you how to do it and gives you a bunch of them to change your life in a variety of ways but the reframe was that all success is based on imitation all success is based on imitation we first look at what other successful people do and you at least adopt those things you know okay they work harder they do this they take some chances they stay out of jail they don't do drugs or at least not so much that it stops them from working um and it's it's pretty obvious stuff everybody who has succeeded anywhere ever imitated other successful people now most of the time the the really successful ones added their own spin you know your Steve Jobs your Elon Musk at some point they're creating the rules that the rest of us follow right so at some point they're actually creating new new techniques and rules but mostly I think it's safe to say they were also aware of or students of what works and what doesn't and the only way you know it works is you looked at other people doing it oh you did that thing and it worked I'll do that too the moment you accept and by the way there's no choice you will accept it it's easy to accept the imitation creates success because we all see it a reframe works very quickly the moment you heard that you agreed with it show me prove it the moment I said to you that success requires invitation what did you say you said yes 100 of you 100 said yes right now when I said the next part of this which is the critical part if imitation requires success how do you succeed if you're a black person in America because you would be asked to imitate the people you've been told by ESG are your oppressors who Among Us would imitate our oppressors I wouldn't I would not do that if you're if you're Jewish and they said you know to be successful you should really dress up and Nazi regalia forget that that doesn't make sense but imagine a world where you were asked to do that oh you know it's just symbolic no no no no don't yes I know about the Holocaust but let's not think about that now to be successful everybody's wearing these Nazis uniforms so you should play along too you know I know you're just being over sensitive about the past can you let that go can you let the past go just wear the Nazi uniforms like everybody else and you'll be successful too imagine if that was the Jewish situation the only way to do it was to dress like a Nazi would they do it no well you know it's a big world so there's always somebody who'll do anything but now if you were in that situation you'd say okay show me any other way I can survive that I don't have to wear that uniform I would do anything but put that on now that's a little more dramatic maybe maybe not much than the Black American situation you've been taught since you were born you know there was slavery you were oppressed by a certain class followed by you know how many decades of you know severe discrimination at the hands of who people who look like me right people who dress like me look like me you talk like me then you then you get your CRTs and you get your Dei then you get your ESG and there's an entire industry that's evolved to reinforce that there's an oppressor class albeit mostly the past but still in the in the present and there's a victim class whoever was taught that they were a victim and then asked to dress and act like the people who were their oppressors has that ever worked in any society ever of course not of course not it couldn't possibly work and every one of us know it and every one of us can see it so here's the part I'm I'm adding today let's let's say you buy into my um my framing and I know you do every one of you agreed by the way I'm watching the comments not a single disagreement just think about that not a single disagreement not a single person you all see it it's obvious here's the second part that's that you might disagree with the the why of it you know the why black America is not doing the things they're successful people do and again this is on average right there are plenty of successful black people I don't have to go through the whole speech about whenever I talk about a group of people I'm never talking about all of them never it's never about all of them people are too different you don't need to tell me because I'm telling you that any mention of a group does not require that you believe all of them are alike right so we're at least adult enough not to fall into that trap all right but generally speaking there's some generalities so the number one thing that I'd like to add is that if two groups act differently it is not your problem if they get different results and you should not be the one to solve it the only ones who can solve it and I don't know what the solution is and I think it would be arrogant and inappropriate if I were the one who said you know you black people should do this thing differently I feel like that's just a mistake because remember I'm part of the alleged depressor class the last thing anybody wants to hear is advice from the repressors so I'm going to take that as the smartest move it's going to look like a lack of empathy it's the opposite this is the opposite of a lack of empathy I'm going to show the greatest level of respect and empathy for my fellow citizens of the United States by saying you can solve this you know exactly what the problem is I I honestly don't know the solution and I don't even know what I'd try I don't even know what I try first I have no idea but that's not for me to solve I can tell you what it takes to succeed but I can't tell you what's in your head or how you should change it or how you should think differently that that would be completely out of place I wouldn't want to hear it from anybody else like if somebody were giving me that kind of advice it wouldn't go down that well I'd like to figure it out myself and I think that we should we should be willing to give Black America the respect of letting them work it out and and the longer you try to fix it for them the worse it gets the worse it gets now I don't think this was always the case I think when things were you know slavery and Jim Crow and all that stuff that you needed a big big outside push so in that case yeah white people should be fully involved trying to fix this horrible systemic situation but once you get to where we are now where it's really about any individual who walks into a job can probably get that job if they do the right things did you hear the story about the uh the Highly Educated uh black guy this just happened he he had an engineering degree no drug problems never been in jail and he starved to death because he couldn't get a job did you hear that story it was tragic it was a black man with Highly Educated did everything right and then he starved to death he actually starved to death because he couldn't get a job in America do you know why you haven't heard that story because it never happened and it never will happened that cannot happen in America it just can't happen there are no poor educated people who stayed out of jail there aren't no well educated to the point of being an engineer let's say you certainly there are people with educations who are struggling for different reasons but if you do the things that people do to succeed it just works there's not special rules for one class of people everybody who does the same rules of success they get there now should I worry that one group has on average on average lesser performance than some other group no stop caring about that it was it was right to care about that when things were dire slavery if you talk about slavery absolutely you're talking about classes of people that is the right frame to talk about what's happening on oh a whole class of people are slaves the whole class of people are suffering Jim Crow in those situations yes you should absolutely focus on the group because you got to fix a group problem but we're way beyond that now we're now in the age of the individual if the individual does the right stuff they'll do great do I care that one individual does worse than another hmm not really because it has to be that way there's there's no way that will change do I care that the average of some group is not doing as well as the average of some group under the specific situation that they all have access to the same rules of success in that case I don't care as long as the law is giving everybody a good shot is every as long as everybody has some path to succeed maybe not identical paths but some path you just have to let people work it out so I think now we have to push it back to the individual and say look honestly I don't know why things aren't working out for you I know what works and I know what you're doing and it's all the stuff that doesn't work but you need to tell me why you're not doing it it's not for me to tell you why you're not doing it because as soon as I tell you why you're not doing it it's just trouble I should just show you what works I should make every availability to you if you like an introduction yes if you'd like some mentoring yes if you'd like some access that maybe you feel you're denied yes just ask if any individual wants individual help yes yes if a group wants to increase their group average compared to another group average no interest at all because I'm not a group and you're not a group right I'm not a group you're not a group I have no interest in making some kind of weird average equal but I'll help you you individually sure and if you bought my book you would be on your way to success all right uh here's a question that I saw is that is the U.S government behind the cartels Jim beckmeyer asked that on Twitter is the U.S government behind the cartels now behind the cartels could be defined in a number of ways I would say that one way would be let's say the CIA is working with one of the cartels or something another way would be if members of our government were accepting bribes for the benefit of the cartels another way would be if they were just afraid of the cartels maybe no money but they were just afraid of them no I don't know I don't have any specific evidence of any of those things I have no evidence that would suggest any of that but I did say this um I can't think of any other explanation for what we're observing can you what would be another explanation for a complete unwillingness not an inability not an inability an unwillingness of our government to stop this problem because would you agree that we're not dealing with an inability does everybody agree with that there's no there's nothing like an inability to stop it you do know that Afghanistan is out of the sound of the poppy business because Isis just decided or another Taliban the Taliban just decided I guess we're just not going to have drugs in this country they had the ability even the Taliban could remove drugs from Afghanistan so yeah we have all the ability is clearly an unwillingness what would cause an unwillingness to solve our biggest deadly problem in the United States fentanyl what would cause that well the only explanation is that the government has been co-opted in some fashion and I don't have a I don't have a hypothesis of what that fashion would be but when we look at it do you think it's a coincidence that the people who who have the most aggressive stands are independently rich and Outsiders independently Rich Outsiders want to shut down the fentanyl trade to close the border people who are not as independently wealthy and are and have been in the government for a while they seem to be less willing to do stuff that needs to be done do you think that's a coincidence no that's not a coincidence and we live in a world now where the reality is you know slowly becoming clear to us all I'll tell you the pandemic was the best thing that ever happened to our brains it doesn't feel like it it feels like it feels like it broke your brain but it's the only way we could get to the next level of awareness that level of awareness is everything that can be corrupt is everything everything that can be corrupt it already is except for the elections all 50 elections you know run by the different states those are all done properly nobody knows why it's like a mystery it's kind of but but I tell you there's no evidence no evidence all 50.

it's amazing it's like a big coincidence all right um so here's a report in the Wall Street Journal that traded with China's way down so China accounted for 13.3 percent of U.S Goods Imports Imports during the first six months of this year thus below a peak of 21.6 for all of 2017.

the current level of goods of U.S Goods Imports uh is that the lowest since uh uh lower since 2003.

two years after China got into the World Trade Organization all right so this shift um do you know when this started do you know when the the trade with China started to fall off a roof do you remember what year it it all happened according to the Wall Street Journal this happened the shift started in 2018.

as the Trump Administration imposed tariffs on a range of Chinese products 2018.

was there anything else that happened in 2018 what else was happening in 2018 relative to this 2018 is when my stepson died of uh fentanyl overdose 2018.

2018 is the year that I told you I was going to destroy the economy of China and I was going to make us decouple the shift started in 2018.

probably just coincidence what year did ESG start taking its nosedive did you did you notice that ESG sort of fell off a cliff right about the same yeah it's 2022 wasn't it what year did I say I was going to destroy yes she 2022.

2022.

was it 21.

I think it was 22.

so probably just coincidences right how many of you are looking at this situation and scratching your head and saying are you kidding is this real you can't tell can you did I just predict well and you know get in front of I prayed that was going to happen anyway or did I tell you what I was going to do did I point for the fence and then hit the ball over the fence where I was pointing which of those two things happened you know that when I said China we're going to decouple from China 100 of the people who earned me said that said no it's just gonna be more every year one hundred percent one hundred percent of everybody said that's not gonna happen I was the only one who was right and 100 of the rest of you were wrong just if you're keeping track keep track of that all right let's talk about some other things uh um I guess uh attorney general Garland has appointed a special counsel for this Hunter Biden's stuff Mark Levin who knows the law better than I do so I'll just read his comment he said a special counsel must be chosen from outside the Department of Justice so how did Garland appoint Weiss the special counsel now that's an interesting sub question and I don't know the law well enough to participate in this one but is that a thing did Garland actually pick somebody that's not really even the right person and it was kind of interesting picked up somebody this wise person now why is Weiss famous what did Weiss do recently that we already knew about wasn't he behind the the hunter Biden sweetheart deal or is it right what was he bad Russia collusion somebody says I don't know about that but he was behind the sweetheart deal right yeah so now if you appoint a uh special counsel what do you think that does to the congress's investigation so Congress was speedoons you know in the middle of subpoenaing people and talking do you think that Congress can keep doing what they're doing once the special counsel is on board I think the answer is no right so this would shut down the Republicans who were having great progress by the way the Republicans did great can we can we say that you know I spend most of my time criticizing bad behavior but I gotta say this Comer fellow and uh and Jim Jordan and there may be some other people that I should mention but have they not done a great job on this I think they have I think this is real service I think the I think the country should appreciate it Mc.

Carthy yeah so you know they don't they don't only make mistakes you know I got lots of problems with both the Republicans and and Democrats but in this one situation I would say there are several people who did exactly what I would want them to do as a citizen so thanks for that um but can we agree that this looks suspicious as hell suspicious as hell it looks like uh it's a play or an OP to keep Hunter safe it does not look like any kind of Justice the way you would recognize it can you agree that it does not look even slightly like a legitimate process we all agree with that right it doesn't look legitimate now the argument that it is legitimate is that this is the person who you know was involved in the original Hunter investigations and apparently he was limited in his abilities although there's a big question because Garland said he wasn't going to be limited but maybe there was after all we're not sure that sort of might be more of a bureaucracy question but this should authorize him to do everything that needs to be done to to bring us to a good conclusion about Hunter and what he did and did not do and what to do about it so on one hand you can make a real strong argument that it's the right thing to do on the other hand every bit of it looks crooked would you agree they they can definitely make the argument oh this is the right person because reasons reasons reasons and you listen to the reasons reasons reasons you go okay well those are all true I mean it does make sense that one person who knows the most and is already involved and he's available and blah blah blah yeah finish the job on the other hand this is very conveniently taking him out of the takes him out of the headlines you know when the election is coming so it looks dirty to me would you agree I I would think that if they wanted something like a good conclusion they would have picked somebody else I think if they wanted a a political conclusion they would pick Weiss so to me it looks crooked not illegal bug crooked all right let's talk about hunter's gun charges I don't have I ever talked about that my opinion about the gun charges my understanding and I might have this wrong I think there might be more to the gun charge than this but isn't part of it that or maybe the main part they lied on his gun application and he said he wasn't an addict do I understand that correctly that that's that's the biggest issue that he said he wasn't an addict so he lied to him how to use Second Amendment People's Square your desire to be prosecuted with that now I'm no no expert on the Second Amendment but let me give you my preliminary opinion um it's probably a good idea to have a law that says we don't automatically give guns to drug addicts that might be a good idea because drug addicts by and large not all of them but by and large they might have trouble paying for their drugs they might say well I got this gun and I need some drugs so if you've got an addiction and no money and you've got a gun that's just begging for trouble so we can understand why that law exists and I would also agree with anybody who said no the second amendment has to be an absolute people will die you know a lot more people will die if the Second Amendment isn't absolute but you might want it that way anyway because there are benefits from you know not not chipping away at your rights but here's my take does anybody think that the law that would deny a gun to somebody who was an addict do you think that law was meant for somebody like Hunter Biden do you think that a multi-millionaire is who they anticipated when they said oh we we don't want a gun in the hand of that multi-millionaire now so here's my problem with this it may be technically against the law and it may be true that Hunter broke a federal law like a really important federal law because it involves a gun but it's also true in my opinion that he was never a he was never a special risk uh there was no chance he was going to use the gun for offensive purposes am I right they're not denying guns to drug addicts because they might accidentally shoot themselves they're denying guns to drug addicts so the drug addicts don't use them to go get some money but that's not a risk with under Biden he wasn't going to use a gun that he was going to use the vice president to go get some money and it worked really well so he didn't need a gun now his gun was clearly for defensive purposes would you all agree there's no question or at least there's no indication it was for anything else but the indication is was for defensive purposes you don't think the gun was for defensive purposes what do you think it was for what evidence is there he was going to use the gun for offensive purpose like to rob a bank there's no evidence of that shoot his girlfriend there's no evidence he was going to shoot his girlfriend no so I'm gonna have to you might not like this but I'm trying to remain um consistent with some standards and one of my standards is there's a reason that humans get to judge the law right there's a reason it's a jury there's a reason it's a judge in some cases you need a human being to say did this law work for this situation in my opinion this is a misapplied law now nobody's above the law but the law itself is not above itself did that make sense nobody's above the law but that doesn't excuse the law from being stupid the law can't be above itself I mean the law still has to make sense right if somebody passed the law that said uh you can't wear a blue shirt and they execute everybody who does you wouldn't say to yourself well nobody's Above the Law you say no we got to change that law right away there's something wrong with the law you wouldn't say there's something wrong with the person who's resisting the law if it's a stupid law and although the law is arguably makes sense you know I'm not sure I'm not sure I would have backed it I'd have to hear the argument but I think there's no chance whatsoever this law was designed or passed with somebody like Hunter in mind so I think there needs to be a penalty because lying on a federal uh lying on a federal document that should have some kind of penalty but I'm thinking whatever is the smallest penalty definitely not jail definitely not jail does anybody think you should go to jail for that trying to protect himself with his second amendment rights you actually think you should go to jail for that so I would argue that you're just in team play you're in team play mode if you think that that just feels like a team play decision you couldn't possibly think there's somebody wanting a handgun to defend themselves into in the United States you can't think that should go to jail all right well we won't solve this today but that's my opinion now that doesn't relieve Hunter of any of the other things he may or may not have done but I have a second question so look at all the the influence buying stuff is it a fairer violation to be an introducer if your only job is to make introductions is that a fairer violation now forget for a moment that there's a debate about whether that's the only thing he was doing but if it's the only thing that could be proven and so far it is so far the only thing we've seen is introductions do you do you think you should be illegal to make introductions I don't if there's a law that says you can't introduce people from another country to someone in this country there's a lot of people who are going to go to jail aren't they what would happen if you knew somebody in another country they were just a friend of yours and they called you and said you know uh Scott you you deal in politics a lot could you connect me with you know some senator and I would say well you know what I actually we follow each other on Twitter yeah I'll send the DM you know you've got a problem over there maybe it's in our interest too you know it's not against the interest of the United States it's just somebody wants a maybe no suit no Sue to talk to sort of thing so I wouldn't even think twice I would think oh my Afghanistan friend sure um I'll send a DM to this person I just happen to know I'll connect you would that be a fair a pharah violation did I just describe breaking the law can somebody tell me the real answer to that I mean I think we're just guessing but well even let's say you paid me let's say I got paid for it let's say my friend said you know what I'll uh you know invest in your company or something it'd be a nice favor if you could make this introduction for me um so I'm not going to say it's not illegal because I don't know but I'll give you my opinion it should not be illegal it should not be illegal if it is you know maybe it is Bo do you do you want to live in a world where you can't introduce people I mean seriously do you want to live in a world where you need to sign a piece of paper and a document and tell the world I might introduce somebody now of course if it's your main business you know you're going to do a lot of it but I have a real problem with introductions being illegal now my guess is this my guess is that since Hunter was operating somewhat openly wouldn't you say as do other people somewhat openly making introductions I don't think the hunter thought it was illegal do you I my guess this is just speculation so I can't read his mind right but without the mind reading if I put myself in this situation I doubt I would have acted so visibly if I knew it was illegal I think I might have said I've got an argument why it's not as long as I have an argument you know I'm going to be okay the argument might be a little spacious but as long as I have an argument I think I'm okay and the argument would be I'm not asking him anybody to give any favors to this other country I'm simply introducing them and people meet people in the ordinary course of Life maybe they could have found this person on their own you know it just would have taken more work I'm just saving them some time so I have a feeling that introducing people is going to end up not being illegal that there would have to be the extra you know something happened because of it some influence yeah so it's not illegal but maybe he did more some people say now I'm not judging them more I'm just trying to predict where this will go in my opinion Hunter is not dumb at least you know not the classic way like his IQ seems to be high would you agree with that he's done some things that you wouldn't do and I wouldn't do but you know drugs are involved Etc but he's not a low IQ guy nobody thinks he's actually low IQ right nobody so if you're that smart you don't think you figured out a way to do these sketchy things in a way that at least you have a good argument because I think in his case he probably thinks if I have an argument the government's going to keep you leave me alone because I'm too politically connected if he had no argument it was just like flat out crime well he would probably think he wasn't protected but if he had something of an argument that's probably enough for the government to leave him alone if you're that connected to the government I would not be surprised if none of the hunter Biden's stuff turns into a major crime with jail I to me this is the stuff that ought to get worked out now I'm not being naive I do think that he was selling influence or at least the illusion of influence which is so close to real influence that I don't know I wouldn't even make a distinction really but I don't think it's going to be provable do you I just don't think it's provable so I think the outcome will be no jail and they'll they'll hide this as long as they can statute of limitations will run out and some stuff it'll just trickle into nothing well RFK Jr had a what I consider the best take on the Hawaii fires which the death count is up to 59 I think no 80 I think the death count is up to 80 unless I checked and it's going to get worse um but instead of blaming climate change which is the the idiot booth if I can just say that blaming the Hawaii fires just on climate change that's sort of an idiot move nobody knows that you know we can know it's a factor it could be a factor but we don't know that's the reason um so RFK finds The High Ground here and he basically says Hawaii fires a result from poor tending of the land so he goes into his explanation of why why the the land was uh you know ready to burn that way and but he doesn't dismiss that there could be a climate element to it and then he then he but he says you don't know I mean that's that's way more than we know right now that's consistent with his his theme for uh drugs and food we just don't know they're safe and then he takes that to climate change and says maybe but we don't know that the part we know for sure is we're not managing the land and the water correctly so then he ends with an appeal to find the middle ground which is can't we all just agree that we should manage our land and our water better we don't have to agree on climate change you could disagree on climate change but still don't we agree that we should reduce the risk of fires so it was funny for it's funny watching him find the the common High Ground that you can't argue with there's just no argument to that who is it who say no we should not manage our our fire risks nobody right of course so I think you found the the perfect sweet spot you know don't become a climate change crazy person but don't ignore that the brush is extra bad this year so you should do something about it I I just liked his reasonable Middle Ground because it's so rare that anybody can find the mill all right uh CNN is starting to show a little doubt about funding the Ukraine war and I'm going to call this as a signal of a some kind of a shift so last week CNN had a poll that said 55 percent of the public doesn't want Congress to give more money to Ukraine and 45 say yes so that's a pretty solid lead saying don't give more funding to Ukraine um and CNN's the way CNN is talking about it is uh here's their actual sentence on their website the White House on Wednesday downplayed CNN polling showing most Americans oppose uh the funding of Ukraine think of that choice of words this is CNN they they love them some Democrats but they're saying they showed their own poll so their own poll says that funding is not popular by the public and then it says the White House downplayed the CNN poll so you can see them beginning to turn right they just turned on it's like you're wait this is our poll imagine being CNN imagine all the water that CNN has carried for Democrats CNN is just doing everything for Democrats and then they put out their own poll and the White House downplays their poll imagine how you'd feel uh I've been carrying your water for years I've told every imaginable lie you can imagine and pretended we believed it could you just tell could you just say that the poll is actually meaningful it's our poll a little bit of reciprocity wouldn't be the worst thing you know you can almost feel like the tension there starting to form uh of course you would not be surprised that the Democrats are strongly in favor of funding the Republicans are strongly against further funding and where did we get to the point where where the opinions about uh unnecessary Wars reversed you know when did the Republicans be the ones who don't want unnecessary Wars do you think that the only thing happening is team play do you think that if a republican had been the leader who said we got to do this Ukraine thing do you think the numbers would be actually reversed and the Democrats would be saying my God why are you funding this war of course of course then let me ask you this do you think the media is the reason for the war because the media is what causes us to be divided the let's say the media's business model of you know chasing outrage it causes the the teams to move to their teams and now it's caused a huge number of people to be in favor of an unnecessary War so that they can be on the other side from the Republicans to me it looks like team play is why we're fund the war it doesn't look like we thought it down and it's in our favor and we've considered all the Alternatives and you know it doesn't look like that it looks like the media poisoned the public to the point where you just can't be on the on the other side's team is impossible and that's why we have enough support to fund it because 45 he can get away with but much less than that he couldn't all right I saw a video in which Klaus and Schwab if this is real because remember we're in the age of deep fakes I think this is real but I'm not going to guarantee it so put a little question mark put an asterisk on this story because the video itself could be fake I think it's true but anyway here's what Klaus Schwab allegedly said in the new world uh-oh he's in trouble right off the world right off the bat in the new world and all of you just went oh what's wrong with the old one all right in the new world you have to accept total what you have to accept total transparency it will become part of your personality you have to accept it in the new world he'll have to accept yeah uh everything will be transparent if you have nothing to hide you have no reason to be afraid so what do you think of that is that the uh is he telling you that he's going to make you do it or is he predicting is he saying he's causing it or is he predicting it how do you interpret this all right well I'm going to make your heads catch on fire because I agree with him 100 percent I agree 100 as a prediction as a prediction do you know why there's a hundred percent chance that you will lose all privacy does anybody know the answer there's a hundred percent chance you'll lose all privacy why uh correct answer number one you already have you already have do you believe that any of your Communications are not monitored they only need a reason they just need a reason and they already have access to all of your bank accounts they can they can unwind your entire life all of your private messages Etc yeah so yeah so you don't have much privacy you just didn't know it was happening it happened gradually until you didn't have any but that's that's different from that's different from your neighbor knowing what you're doing all right it's bad enough that the government can know anything it wants but it would be bad if your neighbors could just see everything that'd be kind of scary however here's why I agree with the prediction this is not a preference I'm not I'm not talking about a preference I'm predicting you will have no privacy whatsoever because every individual will have the power to destroy an entire city do you disagree with my statement that in the near future whether it's AI or biological entities or building your own nuclear weapon do you agree that we're pretty close maybe 20 years away from the point where any individual can destroy an entire city yeah once you reach that point will any cities be destroyed once you get to the point where somebody can will they do it of course yeah of course will they do it more than once probably probably after they've done it three times and three major cities have been completely destroyed what will happen next we will realize there's literally only one way to stop it from happening again and that will involve a complete lack of privacy for All Humans they come in the country anyway they will have to remove all privacy to prevent one person from destroying an entire city over and over again now if you don't believe that prediction tell me how else it could go do you believe that one person won't have that ability because that seems like a stretch or do you believe that they won't use it because that would be like not understanding humans maybe any one person won't use it but if you have millions and millions and millions billions actually billions of people somebody's going to use it you only need one to destroy a whole city so and and what would be the other way to fix it the only way to fix it is to fix it before it happens have you noticed that there's uh there hasn't been a major terror attack in the United States in how long when was the last major terrorist attack in the United States do you think that's a coincidence do you think it's because no terrorists wanted to attack the fact that there's been no terrorist attack for this this long pretty much guarantees that all privacy has already gone would you agree there's no other way we could be stopping what I presume would be a lot of terrorist attacks there's no way we could have a hundred percent efficiency unless there's no privacy I think it's a guarantee that we have no privacy already now when I say no privacy that doesn't mean they're looking into your stuff they're of course looking into my stuff do you think I have any privacy given what you know about what I do in public and the things I say do you think that and in fact that we have a democrat in office do you think that nobody's looking at my communications I would be amazed I'd be amazed if nobody's already in my Whats.

App and my all my DMs I'd be amazed so I try not to commit any crimes because I already live in Klaus Schwab's future my reality is that I have no no privacy because I'm a public figure and I talk about politics so I just assume the government's crawled through my business more than once w ow yeah and I you know I run a clean shop and I do that because I always assumed I had no privacy so I run my life like I have no privacy and it doesn't really hurt me you'd be you'd be amazed how rarely I need to commit a crime it doesn't come up a lot it just sort of doesn't come up yeah I just do my stuff so um anyway yeah I think that we'll all lose our privacy I can't predict that it'll be good or bad and I'm not going to get into that now but as a prediction I think it's guaranteed it might be good by the way you might enjoy it and the reason I say you might enjoy it is that it doesn't really hurt me maybe you'd find the same because I'm sort of living in the future that way all right there's a story there's a new study that uh somebody found that the Universe might be 27 billion years old instead of close to 14.

so maybe we're uh we're doubling the age of the universe now it's a study so who knows if that will hold up but um at the same time you know I've told you this before that evolution has been debunked by the simulation theory in in my opinion so but here now I'm going to tell you something that maybe some of you haven't heard before 25 years ago and by the way you're just gonna have to take you're gonna have to take my word for this I wish I could like find an email or something but 25 years ago I promise you on my you know on my dog's life that this is true on Snickers life I promise you 25 years ago I said to myself you know what would be fun to predict that the most true thing in science is really fake and I said to myself if I do that and I wait a few decades Watch Me Be Right and here's the part that'll blow your mind I wasn't fussy about what I picked that's the weird part I said I just have to pick something that is guaranteed by all scientists to be true whatever they say it is and just say it's not true and I'll say it in public and I'll make a prediction that in your lifetime the most true thing in science will be debunked and the reason is I don't think anything is true and I also don't think that science has ever been close to the truth it's pretty good at knowing what works but not the truth right it doesn't matter when the Big Bang happened because we can still build a rocket ship it doesn't matter if evolution is true because I can still drive my electric car right so the things that don't matter to your day-to-day those can be completely fake and you'd never know you just go through life as if it's true so I took some things which don't affect our actual day-to-day life because those things I think will be true enough but things that are just Concepts and I and I thought to myself you know I could pick the Big Bang because in my opinion the Big Bang was the most ridiculous thing we've ever believed I'm just by its nature you know it couldn't possibly be what we think it is I don't know what it is but it's definitely not that right so here we are so now there's a question that the Big Bang even happened because there's some I believe there's some galaxies that can't exist based on the life of the universe but now maybe we got the life of the universe completely wrong I think I think we're you know just a few steps away from saying that the Big Bang didn't happen now I won't go into the long description but evolution is largely debunked at this point in my opinion and along scientific and rational means not along religious arguments no religious argument needed uh it's just the Elon Musk argument that we can already build AI creatures and tell them they think they're real and they would go through their life thinking they're real so as long as that's something we can do now it's probable that if the universe is 14 billion years or maybe 27 billion years that there could have been infinite civilizations that also could build simulations what are the odds that you're one of the original species and not one of the millions of of simulations that each species that reaches our level will create so the odds are you know maybe a trillion to one or a billion to one that you're an original species and it's like a billions one that you're a simulation actually zeros and ones or some form of that so I would I would argue so the one I picked 25 years ago in my book The Dilbert future published in 1997 25 years ago I said to myself I swear to God this is true I said I'm going to eat ship for 25 years but at the end of that 25 years laughs it's going to be sweet and so I wrote a book in which I specifically said Evolution will be debunked in your lifetime not in religious terms and I said that not in religious terms but in scientific terms because we don't understand the nature of reality itself I said that specifically 25 years ago do you know what happened I got canceled it was the first time I got canceled does anybody remember that is anybody old enough to remember the blowback because I had a comic strip that was mostly well not mostly but technical people and stem people and sciencey people really love Dilbert when I predicted that Evolution would be debunked I lost almost all of them I was completely canceled by science in 1997.

does anybody remember that now that was before canceling was the thing it is now so it didn't have that much effect on my Publishers or my syndication but the number of people who are willing to buy my books and read my stuff plummeted I was canceled probably I lost 25 percent of my market like overnight that was the first time I was canceled so 25 years I waited to be right could you do that could you eat intentionally for 25 years under the bet that you'd be right in 25 years I literally did that here we are yes I'm not right you say um I don't know that I'm right I only know that it's probably a billion to one that I'm right so I can't guarantee it's not the one but there's a billion to one chance summary at least maybe a trillion one um so I saw a tweet from the whole Mars catalog uh regarding simulation stuff today and the Tweet says this world is too crazy to not be a simulation and Elon Musk reply to that with tell me about it is that the best tweet the world is too crazy to not be a simulation and then the richest man in the world who's building rocket ships to space among other things among other things says tell me about it how could you be Elon Musk and believe that this is a real reality how could you have you ever thought what would it be like to be him every time he sits on the toilet and tweets he changes the planet Earth while he's on the toilet tweeting that's that's real now not every tweet because some of the tweets are just jokes but if he tweets something serious the entire world looks at it reads it and thinks about it changes how they think there's a story about it how how in the world could he feel like he's living in reality now the reason that I'm sensitive to that is that that's my life as well my life is so unusual and and has been forever that if I'm part of reality I can't understand how that's possible or at least you know the the reality we used to think if it's not a simulation and I'm not creating my reality as I go how do you explain anything I've experienced my reality is so far out of anything normal as is musks and you know similar but very different scale yeah I'm going to tell you a story without much detail there's somebody in my let's say my life who I've been teaching the simulation concept and the idea that you can manifest your reality and you know this has been an ongoing conversation and the person I talked to I believe has incorporated this and I was having a conversation uh just I think the other day in which the person was feeding back to me uh some successes that were so wildly unlikely I mean it involved like a big coincidence and and the person was telling me like it was a coincidence and I had to say hold on hold on do you see what's happening here do you have any idea what's happening right now I taught you how to manifest your reality and now you're telling me that you've got exactly the the weird unusual thing that you wanted and you you're telling me that's a coincidence you should have looked you should have seen the look on the person's face this is a human being that I I pushed to a higher level of awareness somebody who just figured out that everything in this person's life Suddenly at exactly the time they learned the skill of manifesting everything turned right in the weirdly coincident coincidental ways that could not have been under anybody's control it looks like reality just wrapped itself around this person very impressed you know and I got to I got to you know see the evidence myself so just the weirdest situation now this is my everyday I wake up into a situation that there's something that happens that's so unusual this in my favor and it's something I wanted and wanted to manifest and I think how in the world how in the world is this real anyway so let me do it to you again right now you're going to watch it in real time so you can make your own decision am I changing reality or just getting lucky because you're going to find that my reframe about imitation is the only path to success at Black America needs to figure out what to do given that they're locked out of the only path to success because why would you imitate your oppressors right so they have to figure that out that is not for anybody to tell them what to do they have all the capability they're completely capable and it needs to be something they do on their own but the tools are here so once they're freed from that uh that uh I would call the glass ceiling of types but once they shatter the glass ceiling which unfortunately nobody can help them with they're gonna have to do it on their own but once they do they'll probably dominate Industries the way they've dominated other Industries you know I if you say that I've said this to some you know black leaders before but I like the way it sounds so we'll say it again whenever black Americans had full access full access to an industry they're usually dominated right Sports full access dominated entertainment fashion music culture dominated dominated so why would we think that that would stop with some future industry that let's say there's some you know systemic there's a systemic reason that's keeping them away from it as soon as they lose the systemic in this case I think the glass ceiling of imitation is the problem but if they can punch through that they're going to dominate other Industries why wouldn't they why would they not every time there was an industry they had full access to without the systemic racism being the stopper the Great so so why not assume why not assume the best and I I think that it's terribly uh damaging to say that somebody else has to change to fix their problem if you're if your path to success is waiting for your oppressor to change uh how well are you going to do but if your path to success is oh everybody who follows these same tools gets a good outcome boom doors open highway is free drive right down all right so this will be your test to see if I'm hallucinating that I can change reality because you realize that I'm in a three-act uh three-act movie right do you all know that you can tell I'm in a three-act movie right and you don't know what my third Act is well you don't know the solution to the third act the third Act was getting canceled would you agree my third Act was getting canceled worldwide every book disappeared every comic came out of every Outlet same week third Act Thursday of next week my book that got canceled but now is Reborn will be available for sale I'm assuming that the tech the technical part works it should be Thursday so it'll be independently published with the help of Joshua leisak who's helping me with the editing and the the business process of it and that book needs to be the number one book in the country once you see it you're going to agree because you're going to realize how much utility isn't it and part of that utility is selling the idea that reframing works I'm going to give I'm going to create a micro lesson just for the people on the locals platform they get so I've got about 200 two minute lessons on a life skill or different way to look at things so I'm going to add one today that will teach you why mindset changes actual reality and it's based on Old wisdom not something I invented but it's going to blow your mind so you have to be in the locals platform that's a subscription service um and that ladies and gentlemen is what I need to tell you today I'm pretty sure that all of you are uh at least emotionally on board with the following point if not financially financially if if you can't afford to buy books don't buy mine yeah if you have if you have any financial problems at all you know don't buy my book at all but if you don't and you can afford a book down then you might enjoy changing reality because reality needs for me to have a third Act followed by a fourth Act so if you want to be part of the fourth act you get your chance next week and I would appreciate it beyond beyond imagination because as you can tell it's it's not about the money at this point I got I got plenty of money so if you want to do something important that'd be a good way to do it and ladies and gentlemen this completes my amazing live stream for today and I'm going to say goodbye to the You.

Tube folks and hang around a little bit with the locals crowd and see you tomorrow

that's the name thank you for reminding

me

good morning everybody and welcome to

the highlight of human civilization

and you know what I say

let there be light Let There Be lighting

let us be prepared for once look at that

look at that

that's called production and quality

impressive I know if you'd like to take

this production quality up to a level

that nobody's ever seen before

well all you need is a cup of mug or a

glass a tanker cellist I'm a canteen

geographer of Alaska vessel of any kind

fill it with your favorite liquid I like

coffee

and join me now

in the unparalleled pleasure the

dopamine hit of the day the thing makes

everything better it's called the

simultaneous Sip and it happens now go

yes I did get a haircut thanks for

mentioning it do I look more like my mug

now

yeah look at that identical

you cannot tell the difference between

me and the picture on my coffee mug

which one's me

you can't tell

you can't tell

well

today is just the weirdest weirdest

wonderful day

there is bad news too

but

everything is weird

and I'll I'll walk you through it but

that's the theme for today

reality has started to bend

in a way that's really remarkable

everything's in play right now

everything you think is true

is on the table

doesn't mean it's false but everything's

in play right now I don't think I've

ever seen that before have you does this

seem different to you are we here's what

I think

I think that the civilization

is going to another level of awareness

and it's going to be a bumpy ride

the bumpiness is what we're feeling now

but if you look at what we understand at

least the informed part of the public

what we understand to be true is

changing in such a fundamental way in

just the last few years but it seems to

excel have accelerated

and even today I would say has reached

some kind of Peaks so far

it's going to keep going

but here are the stories of the day did

I see that Sam bankman freed the crypto

alleged scammer guy

is back in prison

and is it true because I saw this and I

need a confirmation to this did he

really get put in the same jail that

Epstein died in

does that really happen

in the real world that actually happened

can somebody confirm that

can you confirm it's the same place that

Epstein

I mean not the same cell but

all right I'm not seeing a confirmation

of that but I I saw it on social media

so I don't know

I thought I thought you'd be confirming

that by now but you're not

so let's put a question mark on that

so uh Stephen King famous writer and

Lefty political person Stephen King

um

he asked this question

and uh

uh I thought it was uh worthy of me

answering it on Twitter he said on

Twitter so here's a question

if you consider yourself a loyal

American how can you possibly support a

man who fomented Insurrection in the

United States capital

that was that a good question

well it's a good question if you live in

a certain bubble of reality

so I thought hey

who better to clear up this situation

than me

so I answered him and I said

he was talking about the January 6th and

I said it's an absurd narrative half the

country believes

that's why you were so confused you have

literally been brainwashed by your team

and then parenthetically I said I'm a

trained hypnotist by the way so I'm

speaking as an expert

uh and then I said find out how many

times you've had the same experience

with this quiz and then I attached to

his tweet the 20 or so I don't know what

it's up to 20 or so major political

hoaxes that everybody on the left

believed

now what do you think happened if he saw

my tweet

now I attached 20 examples that are just

like this one 20. they're just like this

they're things that didn't happen but

his news told them they did

now

now he hasn't responded so at least I

haven't seen it I don't expect him to

respond

um but are you curious what somebody's

brain would do

aren't you

he did

no he did he didn't block me

um I don't think he blocked me

but are you curious what would happen to

his brain if he saw it

so just walk yourself through this

so suppose he sees that the Tweet comes

from me

now presumably he would know

what Dilbert is and who the Dilbert guy

is do you think

is that a fair assumption that you would

recognize my name

what do you think

probably probably you know most writers

know other writers

Etc so he would probably be aware

and then he might check to see how many

followers I have as sort of a you know

indication of weight so you see I have a

million followers

and

he would see that my interpretation is

very different from his

and that my interpretation does answer

the question

that doesn't make it right it's just

that you know the answer I gave

fits the variables in question right

there's nothing that's not explained by

it

but what would he do what do you think a

normal human brain would do when

presented with an opposite reality

that actually makes sense

now it's it's doubly interesting because

he's a fiction writer of you know great

renowned if you're a fiction writer

isn't it a little bit easier to move

from you know one reality to another

if you're given the opportunity

I think that people write fiction can

move move realities a little bit easier

than other people because they're used

to sort of living in a fake reality

while they write it

you know so it's just a it's a

capability you develop if you're a

writer basically a fiction writer I do

it when I write comics

in order to write a Dilbert comic I put

myself in the office I go okay I'm

standing there I'm in this situation

what's happening now

so

I'd be very curious if he looks at the

list of 20 hoaxes and he does what I've

seen other people do

all 20 of those are true

do you think that's going to happen

do you think he's going to look at a

list of 20 hoaxes which by the way the

news the news admits are hoaxes like the

you know the the hunter laptop would be

the the best example

anybody who looks at this list can very

clearly see that the news has been

giving you ridiculous fake news for

years

what do you think it would happen

now

here's what should happen

there should be massive cognitive

dissonance meaning that the reaction

would look like word salad or or an

attack

here's what you would expect

he would attack me personally

oh aren't you the canceled racist guy

right

so that would give him something to say

without having to address any of the

points so that'd be one way so you could

predict that one thing would just be a

personal insult another thing would be

ignoring it completely because it's too

awkward to respond to it can you imagine

if he responds he's never responded to

me in the past I've tweeted at him a few

times

so not responding would be my first

guess I think the odds of him responding

are no more than 10 percent

but the other possibility is wild

hallucinations

where you say everything on the list is

true why are you saying these are hoaxes

etc etc but he actually believes

that people wandering around without

weapons were at intent on literally

Conquering the country like actually

you believe that

you know a lot of people do I saw the

comments uh well the U.S Department of

Health and Human Services

has advised their employees in San

Francisco to work remotely because the

city is too dangerous

that's right

the federal government just told its

employees not to go outdoors in San

Francisco

it's too dangerous not to go Outdoors

don't even be there the place is too too

dangerous

um so at the same time a uh it was a

video of the Oakland Police riding

around in a armored vehicle

an armored vehicle in Oakland so

basically the you know the police have

gone full military I

do you think you should walk around in

Oakland no

also do you think you should drive

through Oakland or near it

not unless you got a full tank of gas

and make sure your cell phone's charged

because you don't want to have your car

break down anywhere near Oakland

our cities are frankly too dangerous

a number of people ask me my book will

be I hope if everything goes right on

Thursday this coming week my book will

be available for sale my new book called

reframe your brain which will be the

biggest thing that ever happened in the

United States

um

even if you don't realize it it will be

anyway you might not know it but it will

be the most important book ever

published

excluding religious documents

um

but people ask me hey Scott are you

going to do a book tour you know where

authors go and they they go into

population centers and they sign books

for people

not a freaking chance

do you know what it would take to get me

to go to a city

in 2023 do you think I would actually go

to San Francisco

how about Berkeley

do you think I would go to Berkeley

do you think I would visit Oakland and

sign some books

how about Washington D.C

New York City

Los Angeles

because those are the places you go

right you always do Los Angeles New York

maybe Washington DC those are the book

tour places not a chance I'm not going I

wouldn't go near any of those places

number one as a canceled person who just

wouldn't be safe

I would make one exception though

I would make one exception

uh it's unlikely that this would happen

but if I ever got invited to be on The

Breakfast Club

uh this is Chicago right

Chicago

I would do that I would actually get on

the plane and go to go to Chicago to

talk to those guys because I think

they're kind of cool and they would be

exactly the it would be exactly the

right

you know kind of tension

for entertainment but I would take a uh

risk of dying to go into Chicago

to do that because I think it'd be worth

doing

all right

um so no no city tours

um I do plan to do some podcasts but

we'll see how that goes

well ESG continues to decline there's a

report for Bloomberg

the ESG has been removed from some parts

of the McDonald's website

um

now I don't know if that was intentional

or maybe they were just you know

revamping the website or something so

there could be an explanation but I

would say would you agree that ESG is

literally embarrassing

who who would agree with me with that

characterization that if you work for a

company that's putting ESG on their

website

that's embarrassing

because I think we all understand what's

going on at this point

you know I don't know who doesn't know

at this point that ESG is just

ridiculous destructive

ridiculous destructive now you

might not know that the other day I uh

changed the world

you don't know yet but you'll figure it

out and I did it with a reframe by the

way the new book that comes out next

week is a book of reframes teaches you

how to do it and gives you a bunch of

them to change your life in a variety of

ways but the reframe was that all

success is based on imitation

all success is based on imitation

we first look at what other successful

people do

and you at least adopt those things you

know okay they work harder they do this

they take some chances they stay out of

jail they don't do drugs or at least not

so much that it stops them from working

um

and it's it's pretty obvious stuff

everybody who has succeeded anywhere

ever

imitated other successful people now

most of the time the the really

successful ones added their own spin you

know your Steve Jobs your Elon Musk

at some point they're creating the rules

that the rest of us follow right so at

some point they're actually creating new

new techniques and rules

but mostly I think it's safe to say they

were also aware of or students of what

works and what doesn't and the only way

you know it works is you looked at other

people doing it oh you did that thing

and it worked I'll do that too

the moment you accept and by the way

there's no choice you will accept it

it's easy to accept the imitation

creates success because we all see it

a reframe works very quickly the moment

you heard that you agreed with it show

me prove it the moment I said to you

that success requires invitation

what did you say you said yes 100 of you

100 said yes right now when I said the

next part of this which is the critical

part if imitation requires success

how do you succeed if you're a black

person in America

because you would be asked to imitate

the people you've been told by ESG

are your oppressors

who Among Us would imitate our

oppressors

I wouldn't

I would not do that

if you're if you're Jewish and they said

you know to be successful you should

really dress up and Nazi regalia forget

that that doesn't make sense but imagine

a world where you were asked to do that

oh you know it's just symbolic no no no

no don't yes I know about the Holocaust

but let's not think about that now

to be successful everybody's wearing

these Nazis uniforms so you should play

along too you know I know you're just

being over sensitive about the past can

you let that go can you let the past go

just wear the Nazi uniforms like

everybody else and you'll be successful

too

imagine if that was the Jewish situation

the only way to do it

was to dress like a Nazi would they do

it

no well you know it's a big world so

there's always somebody who'll do

anything but now

if you were in that situation you'd say

okay show me any other way I can survive

that I don't have to wear that uniform I

would do anything but put that on

now that's a little more dramatic maybe

maybe not much than the Black American

situation

you've been taught since you were born

you know there was slavery you were

oppressed by a certain class followed by

you know how many decades of you know

severe discrimination at the hands of

who people who look like me right people

who dress like me look like me you talk

like me

then you then you get your CRTs and you

get your Dei then you get your ESG and

there's an entire industry

that's evolved to reinforce

that there's an oppressor class albeit

mostly the past but still in the in the

present

and there's a victim class

whoever was taught that they were a

victim and then asked to dress and act

like the people who were their

oppressors has that ever worked in any

society ever

of course not

of course not it couldn't possibly work

and every one of us know it and every

one of us can see it

so here's the part I'm

I'm adding today

let's let's say you buy into my

um my framing and I know you do every

one of you agreed by the way I'm

watching the comments

not a single disagreement

just think about that not a single

disagreement not a single person

you all see it it's obvious

here's the second part that's that you

might disagree with

the

the why of it you know the why black

America is not doing the things

they're successful people do

and again this is on average right there

are plenty of successful black people I

don't have to go through the whole

speech about whenever I talk about a

group of people I'm never talking about

all of them

never it's never about all of them

people are too different you don't need

to tell me because I'm telling you that

any mention of a group does not require

that you believe all of them are alike

right so we're at least adult enough not

to fall into that trap all right but

generally speaking there's some

generalities so the number one thing

that I'd like to add is that if two

groups act differently

it is not your problem if they get

different results and you should not be

the one to solve it

the only ones who can solve it and I

don't know what the solution is and I

think it would be arrogant and

inappropriate if I were the one who said

you know you black people should do this

thing differently

I feel like that's just a mistake

because remember I'm part of the alleged

depressor class the last thing anybody

wants to hear is advice from the

repressors

so I'm going to take that

as the smartest move

it's going to look like a lack of

empathy it's the opposite this is the

opposite of a lack of empathy I'm going

to show the greatest level of respect

and empathy for my fellow citizens of

the United States by saying you can

solve this

you know exactly what the problem is I I

honestly don't know the solution and I

don't even know what I'd try I don't

even know what I try first I have no

idea but

that's not for me to solve

I can tell you what it takes to succeed

but I can't tell you what's in your head

or how you should change it or how you

should think differently that that would

be completely out of place

I wouldn't want to hear it from anybody

else like if somebody were giving me

that kind of advice it wouldn't go down

that well

I'd like to figure it out myself

and I think that we should

we should be willing to give Black

America

the respect

of letting them work it out

and and the longer you try to fix it for

them the worse it gets

the worse it gets now I don't think this

was always the case I think when things

were you know slavery and Jim Crow and

all that stuff that you needed a big big

outside push

so in that case yeah white people should

be fully involved trying to fix this

horrible systemic situation

but once you get to where we are now

where it's really about any individual

who walks into a job can probably get

that job if they do the right things

did you hear the story about the uh the

Highly Educated uh black guy this just

happened he he had an engineering degree

no drug problems never been in jail

and he starved to death because he

couldn't get a job did you hear that

story

it was tragic it was a black man with

Highly Educated did everything right and

then he starved to death he actually

starved to death because he couldn't get

a job in America do you know why you

haven't heard that story

because it never happened and it

never will happened that cannot happen

in America it just can't happen

there are no poor educated people who

stayed out of jail

there aren't no well educated to the

point of being an engineer let's say you

certainly there are people with

educations who are struggling for

different reasons but if you do the

things that people do to succeed

it just works

there's not special rules for one class

of people

everybody who does the same rules of

success

they get there

now should I worry that one group has on

average on average

lesser performance than some other group

no stop caring about that it was it was

right to care about that when things

were dire slavery if you talk about

slavery absolutely you're talking about

classes of people that is the right

frame to talk about what's happening on

oh a whole class of people are slaves

the whole class of people are suffering

Jim Crow

in those situations yes you should

absolutely focus on the group because

you got to fix a group problem but we're

way beyond that now we're now in the age

of the individual

if the individual does the right stuff

they'll do great

do I care that one individual does worse

than another hmm not really because it

has to be that way there's there's no

way that will change do I care that the

average of some group is not doing as

well as the average of some group under

the specific situation

that they all have access to the same

rules of success in that case I don't

care

as long as the law is giving everybody a

good shot is every as long as everybody

has some path to succeed maybe not

identical paths but some path

you just have to let people work it out

so I think now we have to push it back

to the individual

and say look honestly I don't know why

things aren't working out for you I know

what works and I know what you're doing

and it's all the stuff that doesn't work

but you need to tell me why you're not

doing it it's not for me to tell you why

you're not doing it because as soon as I

tell you why you're not doing it

it's just trouble

I should just show you what works I

should make every availability to you

if you like an introduction yes

if you'd like some mentoring yes

if you'd like some access that maybe you

feel you're denied yes just ask if any

individual

wants individual help

yes

yes if a group wants to increase their

group average compared to another group

average no interest at all

because I'm not a group

and you're not a group

right I'm not a group you're not a group

I have no interest in making some kind

of weird average equal

but I'll help you

you individually sure

and if you bought my book you would be

on your way to success

all right uh here's a question that I

saw is that is the U.S government behind

the cartels

Jim beckmeyer asked that on Twitter

is the U.S government behind the cartels

now behind the cartels could be

defined in a number of ways

I would say that one way would be let's

say the CIA is working with one of the

cartels or something

another way would be if members of our

government were accepting bribes for the

benefit of the cartels

another way would be if they were just

afraid of the cartels maybe no money but

they were just afraid of them

no I don't know I don't have any

specific evidence of any of those things

I have no evidence

that would suggest any of that but I did

say this

um

I can't think of any other explanation

for what we're observing can you

what would be another explanation

for a complete unwillingness not an

inability not an inability

an unwillingness of our government to

stop this problem because would you

agree that we're not dealing with an

inability

does everybody agree with that

there's no there's nothing like an

inability to stop it

you do know that Afghanistan is out of

the sound of the poppy business

because Isis just decided or another

Taliban the Taliban just decided I guess

we're just not going to have drugs in

this country

they had the ability even the Taliban

could remove drugs from Afghanistan so

yeah we have all the ability

is clearly an unwillingness

what would cause an unwillingness

to solve our biggest deadly problem in

the United States fentanyl what would

cause that

well the only explanation is that the

government

has been co-opted in some fashion

and I don't have a I don't have a

hypothesis of what that fashion would be

but when we look at it do you think it's

a coincidence that the people who who

have the most aggressive stands are

independently rich

and Outsiders

independently Rich Outsiders want to

shut down the fentanyl trade to close

the border

people who are not as independently

wealthy and are and have been in the

government for a while they seem to be

less willing to do stuff that needs to

be done do you think that's a

coincidence no that's not a coincidence

and we live in a world now where the

reality is you know slowly becoming

clear to us all I'll tell you the

pandemic was the best thing that ever

happened to our brains

it doesn't feel like it it feels like it

feels like it broke your brain but it's

the only way we could get to the next

level of awareness

that level of awareness is everything

that can be corrupt is

everything

everything that can be corrupt it

already is

except for the elections all 50

elections you know run by the different

states those are all done properly

nobody knows why it's like a mystery

it's kind of but but I tell you there's

no evidence no evidence

all 50.

it's amazing it's like a big coincidence

all right

um so here's a report in the Wall Street

Journal that traded with China's way

down so China accounted for 13.3 percent

of U.S Goods Imports Imports during the

first six months of this year

thus below a peak of 21.6 for all of

2017.

the current level of goods of U.S Goods

Imports uh is that the lowest since uh

uh lower since 2003.

two years after China got into the World

Trade Organization

all right so this shift

um do you know when this started do you

know when the

the trade with China started to fall off

a roof do you remember what year it it

all happened

according to the Wall Street Journal

this happened the shift started in 2018.

as the Trump Administration imposed

tariffs on a range of Chinese products

2018. was there anything else that

happened in 2018

what else was happening in 2018

relative to this

2018 is when my stepson died

of uh fentanyl overdose

2018.

2018 is the year that I told you I was

going to destroy the economy of China

and I was going to make us decouple

the shift started in 2018.

probably just coincidence

what year did ESG start taking its

nosedive

did you did you notice that ESG sort of

fell off a cliff

right about the same

yeah it's 2022 wasn't it

what year did I say I was going to

destroy yes she

2022.

2022. was it 21. I think it was 22.

so probably just coincidences right

how many of you are looking at this

situation and scratching your head and

saying are you kidding

is this real

you can't tell can you

did I just predict well and you know get

in front of I prayed that was going to

happen anyway

or did I tell you what I was going to do

did I point for the fence and then hit

the ball over the fence where I was

pointing

which of those two things happened you

know that when I said China we're going

to decouple from China 100

of the people who earned me said that

said no it's just gonna be more every

year

one hundred percent one hundred percent

of everybody said that's not gonna

happen

I was the only one who was right

and 100 of the rest of you were wrong

just

if you're keeping track

keep track of that

all right let's talk about some other

things uh

um I guess uh attorney general Garland

has appointed a special counsel

for this Hunter Biden's stuff

Mark Levin who knows the law better than

I do so I'll just read his comment he

said a special counsel must be chosen

from outside the Department of Justice

so how did Garland appoint Weiss the

special counsel

now that's an interesting sub question

and I don't know the law well enough to

participate in this one but is that a

thing

did Garland actually pick

somebody that's not really even

the right person

and it was kind of interesting picked up

somebody this wise person now why is

Weiss famous

what did Weiss do recently that we

already knew about

wasn't he behind the the hunter Biden

sweetheart deal

or is it right what was he bad

Russia collusion somebody says I don't

know about that but he was behind the

sweetheart deal right

yeah so

now

if you appoint a uh special counsel what

do you think that does to the congress's

investigation so Congress was speedoons

you know in the middle of subpoenaing

people and talking do you think that

Congress can keep doing what they're

doing

once the special counsel is on board

I think the answer is no right

so this would shut down the Republicans

who were having great progress by the

way the Republicans did great

can we

can we say that

you know I spend most of my time

criticizing bad behavior but I gotta say

this Comer fellow

and uh and Jim Jordan and there may be

some other people that I should mention

but have they not done a great job on

this

I think they have I think this is real

service

I think the

I think the country should appreciate it

McCarthy yeah so you know they don't

they don't only make mistakes you know I

got lots of problems with both the

Republicans and and Democrats but in

this one situation I would say there are

several people who did exactly what I

would want them to do as a citizen so

thanks for that

um but can we agree that this looks

suspicious as hell

suspicious as hell it looks like

uh it's a play or an OP to keep Hunter

safe it does not look like any kind of

Justice the way you would recognize it

can you agree that it does not look even

slightly like a legitimate process we

all agree with that right it doesn't

look legitimate

now the argument that it is legitimate

is that this is the person who you know

was involved in the original

Hunter investigations and apparently he

was limited in his abilities although

there's a big question because Garland

said he wasn't going to be limited but

maybe there was after all we're not sure

that sort of might be more of a

bureaucracy question but this should

authorize him to do everything that

needs to be done

to to bring us to a good conclusion

about Hunter and what he did and did not

do and what to do about it

so on one hand you can make a real

strong argument that it's the right

thing to do

on the other hand every bit of it looks

crooked

would you agree they they can definitely

make the argument oh this is the right

person because reasons reasons reasons

and you listen to the reasons reasons

reasons you go okay well those are all

true

I mean it does make sense that one

person who knows the most and is already

involved and he's available and blah

blah blah yeah finish the job

on the other hand this is very

conveniently taking him out of the takes

him out of the headlines you know when

the election is coming

so it looks dirty to me

would you agree

I I would think that if they wanted

something like a good conclusion they

would have picked somebody else I think

if they wanted a a political conclusion

they would pick Weiss

so to me it looks crooked

not illegal bug crooked

all right let's talk about hunter's gun

charges I don't have I ever talked about

that my opinion about the gun charges my

understanding and I might have this

wrong I think there might be more to the

gun charge than this but isn't part of

it that or maybe the main part they lied

on his gun application and he said he

wasn't an addict

do I understand that correctly that

that's that's the biggest issue that he

said he wasn't an addict so he lied to

him how to use Second Amendment People's

Square

your desire to be prosecuted with that

now I'm no no expert on the Second

Amendment but let me give you my

preliminary opinion

um it's probably a good idea

to have a law that says we don't

automatically give guns to drug addicts

that might be a good idea

because drug addicts

by and large not all of them but by and

large they might have trouble paying for

their drugs

they might say well I got this gun and I

need some drugs

so if you've got an addiction and no

money and you've got a gun that's just

begging for trouble

so we can understand why that law exists

and I would also agree with anybody who

said no the second amendment has to be

an absolute

people will die you know a lot more

people will die if the Second Amendment

isn't absolute

but you might want it that way anyway

because there are benefits from you know

not not chipping away at your rights

but here's my take does anybody think

that the law

that would deny a gun to somebody who

was an addict

do you think that law was meant for

somebody like Hunter Biden

do you think that a multi-millionaire is

who they anticipated when they said oh

we we don't want a gun in the hand of

that multi-millionaire

now so here's my problem with this

it may be technically against the law

and it may be true that Hunter broke a

federal law like a really important

federal law because it involves a gun

but it's also true in my opinion that he

was never a he was never a special risk

uh there was no chance he was going to

use the gun for offensive purposes am I

right

they're not denying guns to drug addicts

because they might accidentally shoot

themselves

they're denying guns to drug addicts so

the drug addicts don't use them to go

get some money

but that's not a risk with under Biden

he wasn't going to use a gun that he was

going to use the vice president to go

get some money and it worked really well

so he didn't need a gun now his gun was

clearly for defensive purposes would you

all agree

there's no question or at least there's

no indication it was for anything else

but the indication is was for defensive

purposes

you don't think the gun was for

defensive purposes

what do you think it was for

what evidence is there he was going to

use the gun for offensive purpose like

to rob a bank

there's no evidence of that

shoot his girlfriend

there's no evidence he was going to

shoot his girlfriend

no

so I'm gonna have to

you might not like this

but I'm trying to remain

um consistent with some standards and

one of my standards is

there's a reason that humans get to

judge the law right there's a reason

it's a jury there's a reason it's a

judge in some cases you need a human

being to say did this law work for this

situation

in my opinion this is a misapplied law

now nobody's above the law but the law

itself is not above itself

did that make sense

nobody's above the law

but that doesn't excuse the law from

being stupid the law can't be above

itself I mean the law still has to make

sense right if somebody passed the law

that said uh you can't wear a blue shirt

and they execute everybody who does

you wouldn't say to yourself well

nobody's Above the Law you say no we got

to change that law right away there's

something wrong with the law

you wouldn't say there's something wrong

with the person who's resisting the law

if it's a stupid law

and although the law is arguably makes

sense

you know I'm not sure I'm not sure I

would have backed it I'd have to hear

the argument but

I think there's no chance whatsoever

this law was designed or passed with

somebody like Hunter

in mind

so I think there needs to be a penalty

because lying on a federal uh lying on a

federal document that should have some

kind of penalty but I'm thinking

whatever is the smallest penalty

definitely not jail

definitely not jail

does anybody think you should go to jail

for that trying to protect himself with

his second amendment rights you actually

think you should go to jail for that so

I would argue that you're just in team

play you're in team play mode if you

think that

that just feels like a team play

decision you couldn't possibly think

there's somebody wanting a handgun

to defend themselves into in the United

States you can't think that should go to

jail

all right well

we won't solve this today but that's my

opinion now that doesn't relieve Hunter

of any of the other things he may or may

not have done

but I have a second question

so look at all the the influence buying

stuff

is it a fairer violation

to be an introducer

if your only job is to make

introductions

is that a fairer violation

now forget for a moment that there's a

debate about whether that's the only

thing he was doing

but if it's the only thing that could be

proven and so far it is so far the only

thing we've seen is introductions do you

do you think you should be illegal to

make introductions

I don't

if there's a law that says you can't

introduce people from another country to

someone in this country

there's a lot of people who are going to

go to jail aren't they

what would happen if you knew somebody

in another country

they were just a friend of yours and

they called you and said you know uh

Scott you you deal in politics a lot

could you connect me with

you know some senator

and I would say well you know what I

actually we follow each other on Twitter

yeah I'll send the DM

you know you've got a problem over there

maybe it's in our interest too you know

it's not against the interest of the

United States it's just somebody wants a

maybe no suit no Sue to talk to sort of

thing

so I wouldn't even think twice

I would think oh my Afghanistan friend

sure

um I'll send a DM to this person I just

happen to know I'll connect you would

that be a fair a pharah violation did I

just describe breaking the law

can somebody tell me the real answer to

that I mean I think we're just guessing

but

well even let's say you paid me let's

say I got paid for it let's say my

friend said you know what I'll uh you

know invest in your company or something

it'd be a nice favor if you could make

this introduction for me

um so I'm not going to say it's not

illegal because I don't know

but I'll give you my opinion

it should not be illegal

it should not be illegal if it is

you know maybe it is

Bo do you do you want to live in a world

where you can't introduce people

I mean seriously do you want to live in

a world where you need to sign a piece

of paper and a document and tell the

world I might introduce somebody now of

course if it's your main business you

know you're going to do a lot of it

but I have a real problem with

introductions being illegal now my guess

is this

my guess is that since Hunter was

operating somewhat openly wouldn't you

say

as do other people somewhat openly

making introductions

I don't think the hunter thought it was

illegal

do you

I my guess this is just speculation so I

can't read his mind right but without

the mind reading if I put myself in this

situation I doubt I would have acted so

visibly if I knew it was illegal I think

I might have said I've got an argument

why it's not

as long as I have an argument you know

I'm going to be okay the argument might

be a little spacious but as long as I

have an argument I think I'm okay and

the argument would be I'm not asking him

anybody to give any favors to this other

country I'm simply introducing them

and people meet people in the ordinary

course of Life maybe they could have

found this person on their own you know

it just would have taken more work I'm

just saving them some time

so I have a feeling that introducing

people is going to end up not being

illegal that there would have to be the

extra

you know something happened because of

it some influence yeah

so it's not illegal but maybe he did

more some people say now I'm not judging

them more I'm just trying to predict

where this will go

in my opinion Hunter is

not dumb

at least you know not the classic way

like his IQ seems to be high would you

agree with that he's done some things

that you wouldn't do and I wouldn't do

but you know drugs are involved Etc but

he's not a low IQ guy

nobody thinks he's actually low IQ right

nobody

so if you're that smart

you don't think you figured out a way to

do these sketchy things in a way that at

least you have a good argument because I

think in his case he probably thinks if

I have an argument

the government's going to keep you leave

me alone because I'm too politically

connected

if he had no argument it was just like

flat out crime well he would probably

think he wasn't protected

but if he had something of an argument

that's probably enough for the

government to leave him alone if you're

that connected to the government

I would not be surprised if none of the

hunter Biden's stuff turns into a major

crime with jail

I to me this is the stuff that ought to

get worked out now I'm not being naive

I do think that he was selling influence

or at least the illusion of influence

which is so close to real influence that

I don't know I wouldn't even make a

distinction really

but I don't think it's going to be

provable

do you

I just don't think it's provable

so I think the outcome will be no jail

and they'll they'll hide this as long as

they can statute of limitations will run

out and some stuff it'll just trickle

into nothing

well RFK Jr had a what I consider the

best take on the Hawaii fires which the

death count is up to 59 I think

no 80 I think the death count is up to

80 unless I checked and it's going to

get worse

um but instead of blaming climate change

which is the the idiot booth

if I can just say that blaming the

Hawaii fires just on climate change

that's sort of an idiot move

nobody knows that you know we can know

it's a factor it could be a factor

but we don't know that's the reason

um so RFK finds The High Ground here and

he basically says Hawaii fires a result

from poor tending of the land

so he goes into his explanation of why

why the the land was uh you know ready

to burn that way and but he doesn't

dismiss

that there could be a climate element to

it and then he then he but he says you

don't know

I mean that's that's way more than we

know right now that's consistent with

his his theme for uh drugs and food

we just don't know they're safe

and then he takes that to climate change

and says maybe but we don't know that

the part we know for sure is we're not

managing the land and the water

correctly

so then he ends with an appeal to find

the middle ground which is can't we all

just agree that we should manage our

land and our water better

we don't have to agree on climate change

you could disagree on climate change but

still don't we agree that we should

reduce the risk of fires

so it was funny for it's funny watching

him find the the common High Ground

that you can't argue with there's just

no argument to that who is it who say no

we should not manage our our fire risks

nobody right

of course so

I think you found the the perfect sweet

spot you know don't become a climate

change crazy person but don't ignore

that the brush is extra bad this year so

you should do something about it

I I just liked his reasonable Middle

Ground

because it's so rare

that anybody can find the mill

all right

uh CNN is starting to show a little

doubt about funding the Ukraine war

and I'm going to call this as a signal

of a some kind of a shift

so last week CNN had a poll that said 55

percent of the public doesn't want

Congress to give more money to Ukraine

and 45 say yes so that's a pretty solid

lead saying don't give more funding to

Ukraine

um and CNN's the way CNN is talking

about it is uh here's their actual

sentence on their website the White

House on Wednesday

downplayed CNN polling showing most

Americans oppose uh the funding of

Ukraine

think of that choice of words

this is CNN they they love them some

Democrats but they're saying they showed

their own poll

so their own poll

says that funding is not popular by the

public

and then it says the White House

downplayed the CNN poll

so you can see them beginning to turn

right they just turned on

it's like you're wait this is our poll

imagine being CNN imagine all the water

that CNN has carried for Democrats CNN

is just doing everything for Democrats

and then they put out their own poll and

the White House downplays their poll

imagine how you'd feel

uh I've been carrying your water for

years

I've told every imaginable lie you can

imagine and pretended we believed it

could you just tell could you just say

that the poll is actually meaningful

it's our poll a little bit of

reciprocity wouldn't be the worst thing

you know you can almost feel like the

tension there

starting to form uh of course you would

not be surprised that the Democrats are

strongly in favor of funding the

Republicans are strongly against further

funding

and where did we get to the point where

where the opinions about uh unnecessary

Wars reversed you know when did the

Republicans be the ones who don't want

unnecessary Wars

do you think that the only thing

happening

is team play

do you think that if a republican had

been the leader who said we got to do

this Ukraine thing do you think the

numbers would be actually reversed and

the Democrats would be saying my God why

are you funding this war of course of

course then let me ask you this

do you think the media is the reason for

the war

because the media is what causes us to

be divided the let's say the media's

business model of you know chasing

outrage it causes the the teams to move

to their teams

and now it's caused a huge number of

people to be in favor of an unnecessary

War

so that they can be on the other side

from the Republicans

to me it looks like team play

is why we're fund the war it doesn't

look like we thought it down and it's in

our favor and we've considered all the

Alternatives and you know it doesn't

look like that it looks like the media

poisoned the public to the point where

you just can't be on the on the other

side's team

is impossible

and that's why we have enough support to

fund it because 45 he can get away with

but much less than that he couldn't

all right I saw a video in which Klaus

and Schwab

if this is real because remember we're

in the age of deep fakes

I think this is real but I'm not going

to guarantee it so

put a little question mark put an

asterisk on this story because the video

itself could be fake I think it's true

but anyway here's what Klaus Schwab

allegedly said in the new world uh-oh

he's in trouble right off the world

right off the bat in the new world and

all of you just went oh what's wrong

with the old one all right in the new

world you have to accept total what you

have to accept total transparency it

will become part of your personality

you have to accept it

in the new world he'll have to accept

yeah

uh everything will be transparent if you

have nothing to hide you have no reason

to be afraid

so what do you think of that

is that the uh

is he telling you that he's going to

make you do it or is he predicting

is he saying he's causing it or is he

predicting it

how do you interpret this

all right well I'm going to make your

heads catch on fire because I agree with

him 100 percent

I agree 100 as a prediction

as a prediction

do you know why there's a hundred

percent chance that you will lose all

privacy does anybody know the answer

there's a hundred percent chance you'll

lose all privacy why

uh correct answer number one you already

have

you already have

do you believe that any of your

Communications are not monitored

they only need a reason

they just need a reason and they already

have access to all of your bank accounts

they can they can unwind your entire

life all of your private messages

Etc

yeah so yeah so you don't have much

privacy you just didn't know it was

happening it happened gradually until

you didn't have any but that's that's

different from

that's different from your neighbor

knowing what you're doing all right it's

bad enough that the government can know

anything it wants but it would be bad if

your neighbors could just see everything

that'd be kind of scary however here's

why I agree with the prediction this is

not a preference

I'm not I'm not talking about a

preference

I'm predicting

you will have no privacy whatsoever

because every individual will have the

power to destroy an entire city

do you disagree with my statement that

in the near future whether it's AI or

biological entities or building your own

nuclear weapon

do you agree that we're pretty close

maybe 20 years away

from the point where any individual can

destroy an entire city

yeah once you reach that point

will any cities be destroyed

once you get to the point where somebody

can will they do it of course yeah of

course will they do it more than once

probably probably after they've done it

three times and three major cities have

been completely destroyed

what will happen next

we will realize there's literally only

one way to stop it from happening again

and that will involve a complete lack of

privacy for All Humans they come in the

country anyway

they will have to remove all privacy

to prevent one person from destroying an

entire city over and over again

now if you don't believe that prediction

tell me how else it could go

do you believe that one person won't

have that ability

because that seems like a stretch

or do you believe that they won't use it

because that would be like not

understanding humans maybe any one

person won't use it but if you have

millions and millions and millions

billions actually billions of people

somebody's going to use it you only need

one to destroy a whole city

so and and what would be the other way

to fix it

the only way to fix it is to fix it

before it happens

have you noticed that there's uh

there hasn't been a major terror attack

in the United States in how long

when was the last major terrorist attack

in the United States

do you think that's a coincidence

do you think it's because no terrorists

wanted to attack

the fact that there's been no terrorist

attack for this this long

pretty much guarantees that all privacy

has already gone

would you agree

there's no other way we could be

stopping what I presume would be a lot

of terrorist attacks

there's no way we could have a hundred

percent efficiency

unless there's no privacy

I think it's a guarantee that we have no

privacy already now when I say no

privacy that doesn't mean they're

looking into your stuff

they're of course looking into my stuff

do you think I have any privacy

given what you know about what I do in

public and the things I say do you think

that and in fact that we have a democrat

in office do you think that nobody's

looking at my communications

I would be amazed I'd be amazed if

nobody's already in my WhatsApp and my

all my DMs I'd be amazed so I try not to

commit any crimes

because I already live in Klaus Schwab's

future

my reality is that I have no no privacy

because I'm a public figure and I talk

about politics so I just assume the

government's crawled through my business

more than once

w

ow yeah and I you know I run a clean

shop and I do that because I always

assumed I had no privacy so I run my

life like I have no privacy

and it doesn't really hurt me

you'd be you'd be amazed how rarely I

need to commit a crime

it doesn't come up a lot it just sort of

doesn't come up yeah I just do my stuff

so

um anyway yeah I think that we'll all

lose our privacy I can't predict that

it'll be good or bad and I'm not going

to get into that now but as a prediction

I think it's guaranteed

it might be good by the way you might

enjoy it and the reason I say you might

enjoy it is that

it doesn't really hurt me

maybe you'd find the same because I'm

sort of living in the future that way

all right there's a story there's a new

study that uh somebody found that the

Universe might be 27 billion years old

instead of close to 14. so maybe we're

uh we're doubling the age of the

universe now it's a study so who knows

if that will hold up

but

um

at the same time you know I've told you

this before that evolution

has been debunked by the simulation

theory in in my opinion

so but here now I'm going to tell you

something that maybe some of you haven't

heard before

25 years ago and by the way you're just

gonna have to take you're gonna have to

take my word for this I wish I could

like

find an email or something but 25 years

ago I promise you on my you know on my

dog's life that this is true on Snickers

life I promise you 25 years ago I said

to myself you know what would be fun

to predict that the most true thing in

science is really fake

and I said to myself if I do that and I

wait a few decades

Watch Me Be Right

and here's the part that'll blow your

mind

I wasn't fussy about what I picked

that's the weird part

I said I just have to pick something

that is guaranteed by all scientists to

be true whatever they say it is and just

say it's not true

and I'll say it in public and I'll make

a prediction that in your lifetime the

most true thing in science will be

debunked

and the reason is I don't think anything

is true

and I also don't think that science has

ever been close to the truth

it's pretty good at knowing what works

but not the truth

right it doesn't matter when the Big

Bang happened

because we can still build a rocket ship

it doesn't matter if evolution is true

because I can still drive my electric

car right so the things that don't

matter to your day-to-day those can be

completely fake

and you'd never know you just go through

life as if it's true

so I took some things which don't affect

our actual day-to-day life because those

things I think will be true enough

but things that are just Concepts

and I and I thought to myself you know I

could pick the Big Bang

because in my opinion the Big Bang was

the most ridiculous thing we've ever

believed I'm just by its nature

you know it couldn't possibly be what we

think it is I don't know what it is but

it's definitely not that

right

so here we are

so now there's a question that the Big

Bang even happened because there's some

I believe there's some galaxies that

can't exist based on the life of the

universe but now maybe we got the life

of the universe completely wrong

I think I think we're you know just a

few steps away from saying that the Big

Bang didn't happen

now I won't go into the long description

but evolution is largely debunked at

this point in my opinion and along

scientific and rational means not along

religious

arguments no religious argument needed

uh it's just the Elon Musk argument that

we can already build AI creatures and

tell them they think they're real and

they would go through their life

thinking they're real

so as long as that's something we can do

now

it's probable that if the universe is 14

billion years or maybe 27 billion years

that there could have been infinite

civilizations that also could build

simulations what are the odds that

you're one of the original species and

not one of the millions of of

simulations that each species that

reaches our level will create so the

odds are you know maybe a trillion to

one or a billion to one that you're an

original species

and it's like a billions one that you're

a simulation actually zeros and ones or

some form of that

so I would I would argue so the one I

picked 25 years ago in my book The

Dilbert future

published in 1997

25 years ago I said to myself I swear to

God this is true

I said

I'm going to eat ship for 25 years

but at the end of that 25 years

laughs it's going to be sweet

and so I wrote a book in which I

specifically said Evolution will be

debunked in your lifetime not in

religious terms and I said that not in

religious terms but in scientific terms

because we don't understand the nature

of reality itself

I said that specifically 25 years ago do

you know what happened

I got canceled

it was the first time I got canceled

does anybody remember that is anybody

old enough to remember the blowback

because I had a comic strip that was

mostly well not mostly but technical

people and stem people and sciencey

people really love Dilbert

when I predicted that Evolution would be

debunked

I lost almost all of them I was

completely canceled by science in 1997.

does anybody remember that now that was

before canceling was the thing it is now

so it didn't have that much effect on my

Publishers or my syndication but the

number of people who are willing to buy

my books and read my stuff plummeted I

was canceled probably I lost 25 percent

of my market like overnight

that was the first time I was canceled

so

25 years I waited to be right

could you do that could you eat

intentionally for 25 years under the bet

that you'd be right in 25 years

I literally did that

here we are

yes I'm not right

you say

um I don't know that I'm right I only

know that it's probably a billion to one

that I'm right

so I can't guarantee it's not the one

but there's a billion to one chance

summary

at least maybe a trillion one

um

so I saw a tweet from the whole Mars

catalog uh regarding simulation stuff

today and the Tweet says this world is

too crazy to not be a simulation

and Elon Musk reply to that with

tell me about it

is that the best tweet

the world is too crazy to not be a

simulation and then the richest man in

the world

who's building rocket ships to space

among other things among other things

says tell me about it

how could you be Elon Musk and believe

that this is a real reality

how could you

have you ever thought what would it be

like to be him

every time he sits on the toilet and

tweets

he changes the planet Earth

while he's on the toilet tweeting

that's that's real

now not every tweet because some of the

tweets are just jokes but

if he tweets something serious the

entire world looks at it reads it and

thinks about it changes how they think

there's a story about it how how in the

world

could he feel like he's living in

reality

now the reason that I'm sensitive to

that is that that's my life as well

my life is so unusual and and has been

forever that if I'm part of reality

I can't understand how that's possible

or at least you know the the reality we

used to think if it's not a simulation

and I'm not creating my reality as I go

how do you explain anything I've

experienced

my reality is so far out of anything

normal as is musks and you know similar

but very different scale

yeah I'm going to tell you a story

without much detail there's somebody in

my let's say my life

who I've been teaching the simulation

concept and the idea that you can

manifest your reality

and you know this has been an ongoing

conversation

and the person I talked to I believe has

incorporated this and I was having a

conversation uh just I think the other

day

in which the person was feeding back to

me uh some successes that were so wildly

unlikely I mean it involved like a big

coincidence

and and the person was telling me like

it was a coincidence

and I had to say hold on hold on

do you see what's happening here

do you have any idea what's happening

right now I taught you how to manifest

your reality and now you're telling me

that you've got exactly the the weird

unusual thing that you wanted and you

you're telling me that's a coincidence

you should have looked you should have

seen the look on the person's face

this is a human being that I I pushed to

a higher level of awareness

somebody who just figured out

that everything in this person's life

Suddenly at exactly the time they

learned the skill of manifesting

everything turned right in the weirdly

coincident coincidental ways that could

not have been under anybody's control

it looks like reality just wrapped

itself around this person

very impressed you know and I got to I

got to you know see the evidence myself

so

just the weirdest situation now this is

my everyday

I wake up into a situation that there's

something that happens that's so unusual

this in my favor

and it's something I wanted and wanted

to manifest and I think how in the world

how in the world is this real

anyway

so let me do it to you again right now

you're going to watch it in real time so

you can make your own decision am I

changing reality

or just getting lucky

because you're going to find that my

reframe about imitation is the only path

to success

at Black America needs to figure out

what to do given that they're locked out

of the only path to success because why

would you imitate your oppressors

right so they have to figure that out

that is not for anybody to tell them

what to do they have all the capability

they're completely capable and it needs

to be something they do on their own

but the tools are here so once they're

freed from that uh that uh I would call

the glass ceiling of types but once they

shatter the glass ceiling which

unfortunately nobody can help them with

they're gonna have to do it on their own

but once they do they'll probably

dominate Industries the way they've

dominated other Industries you know I if

you say that I've said this to some you

know black leaders before

but I like the way it sounds so we'll

say it again

whenever black Americans had full access

full access to an industry

they're usually dominated

right Sports

full access dominated

entertainment

fashion music

culture

dominated

dominated so why would we think that

that would stop

with some future industry that let's say

there's some you know systemic there's a

systemic reason that's keeping them away

from it as soon as they lose the

systemic

in this case I think the glass ceiling

of imitation is the problem but if they

can punch through that

they're going to dominate other

Industries why wouldn't they why would

they not every time there was an

industry they had full access to without

the systemic racism being the stopper

the Great

so

so why not assume why not assume the

best

and I I think that it's terribly uh

damaging to say that somebody else has

to change to fix their problem

if you're if your path to success is

waiting for your oppressor to change

uh how well are you going to do

but if your path to success is oh

everybody who follows these same tools

gets a good outcome boom

doors open highway is free drive right

down

all right so this will be your test to

see if I'm hallucinating that I can

change reality

because you realize that I'm in a

three-act uh three-act movie right do

you all know that

you can tell I'm in a three-act movie

right

and you don't know what my third Act is

well you don't know the solution to the

third act the third Act was getting

canceled would you agree

my third Act was getting canceled

worldwide

every book disappeared every comic came

out of every Outlet

same week

third Act

Thursday of next week

my book that got canceled but now is

Reborn

will be available for sale I'm assuming

that the tech the technical part works

it should be Thursday

so it'll be independently published with

the help of Joshua leisak who's helping

me with the editing and the the business

process of it

and

that book

needs to be the number one book in the

country

once you see it you're going to agree

because you're going to realize how much

utility isn't it

and part of that utility is selling the

idea that reframing works

I'm going to give I'm going to create a

micro lesson just for the people on the

locals platform they get so I've got

about 200 two minute lessons on a life

skill or different way to look at things

so I'm going to add one today that will

teach you

why mindset changes actual reality

and it's based on Old wisdom

not something I invented but it's going

to blow your mind so you have to be in

the locals platform that's a

subscription service

um and that ladies and gentlemen

is what I need to tell you today I'm

pretty sure that all of you are uh at

least emotionally on board with the

following point if not financially

financially if if you can't afford to

buy books don't buy mine yeah if you

have if you have any financial problems

at all you know don't buy my book at all

but if you don't and you can afford a

book down then you might enjoy changing

reality

because reality needs for me to have a

third Act

followed by a fourth Act

so if you want to be part of the fourth

act you get your chance next week

and I would appreciate it beyond beyond

imagination because as you can tell it's

it's not about the money at this point I

got I got plenty of money

so if you want to do something important

that'd be a good way to do it

and ladies and gentlemen

this completes my amazing live stream

for today

and I'm going to say goodbye to the

YouTube folks and hang around a little

bit with the locals crowd and

see you tomorrow
