what he did with his inflation and some of his work policies but I was willing to maybe overlook some of those things for the unity of the country.

But he has a Hagar the Horrible comic behind his desk. I can't ignore that. I can't ignore that. Yeah no he didn't go full pickles. If he had gone full pickles which is another comic that would be too far but Hagar? Hagar? I don't know if I can forgive that.

Let's talk about Twitter because that's what we do every day. So Elon Musk has confirmed something I was speculating about. He said the more Twitter improves its signal to noise ratio the less relevant conventional news becomes. And he followed up with another tweet. He said the intelligence of this hive mind meaning Twitter will improve significantly as signal to noise, effective cross-linking of tweets and speed of tweets all improve.

So remember I said that the thing you have to be cautious about when you're trying to predict whether Elon Musk will be successful with Twitter is the thing you have to understand is he's not trying to make it as successful as Twitter 1.0. He's not tweaking Twitter 1.0. He's probably going to create something that does payments, replaces old news, becomes the way you communicate instead of texting, probably replaces TikTok. Who knows what else it will replace? Yeah he's thinking big. And so he is literally thinking of replacing the news. But you can't replace the news if Twitter is nothing but partisans battling.

So if the only change that Musk makes is to make sure that all controversial claims are connected to some context that the other side would like you to see he has beaten the TV and other news business completely because they can't match that. The other news entities don't really even try to add context. If he did and it looks like Twitter's the perfect tool to add context, if he does there is no reason to read the news anymore.

So here's a little confirmation for the Musk opinion. My normal routine for the last several years is I get up and I look at CNN and I look at Fox News and follow some other stories in other places and then I'll also check all the tweets to see what the tweeters are saying about the news and then I have a good picture to make my comments for the day. Since Musk took over about half of the days that I come on here I have not checked CNN or Fox News because Twitter has the news and then has all the reactions to the news and a little bit more. More and more is going to have the context that was not in the news. Why would I check the news when I can get the news plus the context plus the comments? The news is already obsolete. I mean the regular news.

Here's a ten dollar question. Which government intelligence agencies do you think Epstein worked for? Well I don't think it was necessarily our government. Do you assume Epstein worked for our government exclusively? I would imagine he had some connections to a variety of high-level people and more than one country. All right so I don't assume it's some American only situation.

All right. Here's the most important thing you need to know about Elon Musk buying Twitter. You know the movie The Matrix and the star of The Matrix the character was Neo. Neo. So when Neo enters the Matrix what you should know is that was completely different than Elon entering Twitter because when Neo entered the Matrix Neo has only 75 percent of the letters that are also in the word Elon. So that's a pretty big difference. It's like a 25 percent difference in their names. Everything else is roughly the same as Neo entering the Matrix because both Twitter and the Matrix have the same purpose. The purpose of Twitter is create an artificial reality such that you don't know what the real reality is you're living in. That's literally The Matrix movie. The Matrix movie is that you believe you're in one reality but the Matrix holds you in another. That's literally what Twitter is doing. Literally they're doing that now.

Usually I make fun of people comparing things to a movie but this is not comparing. This is same as. Right? I mean not actually connected by tubes and living in a vat but we might be. We might be for all we know.

Here's the other funny Twitter related thing. Musk has got to be the best tweeter since Trump and maybe he's even better. But look at how he handled this situation with a tweet. And the tweet comes from Elon Musk's ex-wife Justine Musk. And Justine Musk on December 2nd tweeted. So I would like to note that she began her tweet with the word so. I wonder what the rest of the tweet will be. Will it be insightful analysis? What comes after the word so? Good facts and logic? Oh no. Let's read on. Let's read on and find out if we can guess what comes after the word so.

Does anybody want to take a guess? If you'd like to attest your intelligence here. Do you know what comes after the word so? Oh yes. Ridiculous straw man. A version of reality that nobody holds so that you can insult it. I wonder if that will come after the word so. Well let me read on and find out.

So let me get this straight. I'm going to give you another quiz. What follows the phrase let me get this straight? What follows let me get this straight? Would it be getting it straight or would it be intentionally distorting into something that is definitely the opposite of getting it straight? Which one do you predict because you're smart? Look at you go. Look at you go. Well you know just when I think there's a limit to your intelligence you surpass it again. I am amazed. I don't even need to give you the news anymore do I? I could just come here and you tell me the news without even knowing what it is. That's how good you are.

All right let me try it again. You think I can't do this? You fill in the blank. The Pope had a comment about Ukraine. What is it? Go. What will the Pope say about Ukraine? That this hasn't happened lately. He is against violence. He's in favor of peace. You are like geniuses. You are freaking geniuses. Wow you know the news before it happens.

All right let me ask you another. There's a gigantic blockbuster story in which everything the left has been doing for years has been uncovered and now their shame and embarrassment will eat them alive as all of their supporters and followers find out about this blockbuster laptop from hell being suppressed story on Twitter. Okay what happens next? What happens next? How did you know? How did you guess this? How did you guess that this story would be so completely suppressed that it would be as if it never happened? How did you know that the only people that would hear the blockbuster story are the people who already knew it was true and not a single other person will hear it unless it's paired with some explanation of why it's not really what you think it is?

Well you guessed pretty good because it turns out the New York Times ignored it. Washington Post ignored it. CNN ignored it. I think MSNBC ignored it. The entire left closed ranks and disappeared the story exactly like you thought they would.

Now what happens to my YouTube feed? Here I am on YouTube this big channel. Do you think YouTube is letting this go out to all the people who need to hear it? I would be highly doubtful that my YouTube feed is completely non-suppressed and that it's being treated like every other feed. Maybe. I mean anything's possible but everything we know about everything suggests that this is being suppres
