hat? They made you think that it matters what they think. It doesn't matter what they think.

They did the same thing with Mexico. Do you remember when everybody said well the Mexican government's never going to agree to our military going in and operating against the cartels. The Mexican government's never going to agree. What's wrong with that framing? Who the cares what the Mexican government wants? It's not up to them. They don't have a vote. We have the military. The United States, and we're under attack. The Mexican government, zero vote. We're wasting our time and treasure in Ukraine and it's costing us big time. Does Ukraine have a vote? No, no they don't vote in the United States. Does Putin have a vote? Nope, nope, not a vote. No.

If we get a president who can actually see past narratives — Trump can, probably several others can, but I'll just mention two. You need somebody who can see past that framing. And we do have two. I don't know if we have more than actually RFK Jr. We have three candidates who can see past the propaganda framing. But I am horrified that none of you did, or at least in the comments you didn't mention it. Now that I've mentioned it do you see it? Am I right? You see it right? You see that the framing of what they care about is just absolutely, it should be a crime. The fact that they could even guide your mind in that direction is just crazy.

Now this is a subset of a reframe in my book. One of the reframes in *Reframe Your Brain*, available now on Kindle, is that you don't know who has the power. And we often get lost in an assumption of who has the power. Ukraine doesn't have any power. Russia doesn't have any power. And our government doesn't have any power. You do. You and I do collectively. We can decide what our government does just by answering polls that say don't do that. You know if it gets to 80 percent the government can't do it. There are very few things your government can do if 80 percent of the public is against it because they need to get reelected and stuff. So the American public has the power. But the media has cut you off from it by this kind of narrative. This kind of narrative just takes all your power away because you don't know you have the power and you're like arguing about stuff. Oh Ukraine, Putin, that. They're not relevant. They are not relevant. Oh Europe, not relevant. Now Great Britain was not relevant. Not relevant. Military industrial complex, they want, well they're relevant unfortunately. Shouldn't be. You can't be serious. Yeah anyway.

The citizens do have the power because they believe they do not. So that doesn't seem to be changing. So at the moment they don't. But it would require only a reframe of how they think before they would. And all you would have to do is tell the people, you know if the United States wants to end this we could do it tomorrow. What do you think? Do you want to end it? You don't think you would get 80 percent saying well I didn't realize that was an option. No it is. It's actually an option. You just ignore the interests of the other people because you can and they're not relevant to you and then just end it. You just tell both sides you'll crush them. You'll crush them if they don't stop right now. I think Trump's the only one who can sell it but Vivek can say it. I mean maybe he could sell it but Trump could sell it.

All right, yeah what else is going on? That's about it. I don't think you need much more. That's a good solid hour of content that you won't see anywhere else and not too many commercials.

All right, I saw that the famous Twitter account Catturd was complaining about the blocking feature and Elon Musk blocked him. And then Elon tweeted that he's blocking people who are complaining about blocking. He said let's see how you like it. And I thought you know yeah I love it. I love it. I don't even though I don't love the blocking. I just love the fact that he blocked people from complaining about blocking so they could see how they feel about being blocked. He's helping. He's helping.

The second funny bad thing about that is I blocked Catturd a long time ago because he's an idiot. I don't know, maybe you like him, maybe you follow him. Personally he's an idiot. That's my take. And I wouldn't want to see any of his tweets again except that one was funny.

James Woods is making some news. I saw a video from him, a video of some youths attacking cars in Philadelphia. And he tweeted the other day this isn't fixable. Does that sound familiar? This isn't fixable. Now I don't think he follows me. Well he probably caught the headlines, don't you think? Don't you think James Woods caught the headlines about my cancellation? Probably most people did. But it's not fixable. Where have you heard that before besides me? Who is another person who said it's not fixable? You have to know when to hold them and know when to fold them, right? Alex Jones? Chris Rock? Really Chris Rock? I don't know about that. Alex Jones? Bill Mitchell? No. Tim Pool said it? Yeah. And by the way there's nothing wrong with that. There's nothing wrong with that opinion. It's not cruel. It's just a statement of what you think is happening.

So I would like cities not to fall into decay. I would like everybody to have jobs and not walk on bums in the street. But it doesn't look like it's going to happen. And I would guess that the future is building new cities as I said in the beginning. And I think the old ones just have to go because I think they need to bottom and then probably they'll just turn it into something else. But I think cities are probably on a long-term decline and I don't think we should necessarily try to fix them if they're not interested in fixing themselves. So I would say get away from cities if you can.

I should do a podcast with Peter Zeihan. I don't think he does guests, does he? I think he just does his own thing. He's very interesting. But I noted and I'm glad you mentioned him. So I mentioned the other day that Peter Zeihan said that Russia's real goal with all of its aggressive moves were to make sure they controlled the attack points to defend Russia. And if you look at them they line up very well with the most strategic attack points. Now his take is if you could make — well I think I'm saying too much about his take. I'll say it's my take. If that's true then I would suggest there's a way to deal with Russia where you say all right your problem is these choke points. Maybe there's some way short of a war that you can get some security and we can get some security and nobody's giving up too much.

So that would suggest if the Peter Zeihan view of the world is right it's about those choke points. That gives you something to negotiate. If the Wall Street Journal is right, which is a totally different take, and by the way never mentioned the choke point issue. I've never seen it anywhere else actually. If it's true that the goals are amorphous and impossible to get then you can't have peace. So the Wall Street Journal article looks like an article that was written by the military industrial complex. I'm not saying it was but it reads like it. Would you agree? It shows no hope and warns you that the war will take years. Who benefits from that? Military industrial complex. Maybe the neocons. But as much as I think the Wall Street Journal is one of the best independent vehicles for news and I'm not going to make an accusation about that specific article, but use your own judgment. You know there there's another view that would say it's negotiable at least. Two views. And they acted like because it's amorphous that it can't be negotiated. The amorphous part is really not the problem. And I don't know if they're just bad at telling you all the context or if they were influenced by the military industrial complex. Right, so those are the questions you would ask about a story like that.

All right, anybody else got a topic I haven't talked about? You know one of the things about being a public figure is there any way to be a public figure and to not be accused of being anti-Semitic at some point in your career? It's like literally unavoidable.

All right, yeah China's in trouble. 15-minute cities easy to pacify shows everybody everything else at this point. As long as the government can turn off your money which they can do anytime they want therefore control already. If the government can turn off your money they already have full control. Will the next hurricane be named Gavin? E B C D E F G H no it's gonna have to start with the letter I right because they go in order. It would have to be I. Lavin? Yeah. Alex Jones I don't know if his. I can't imagine lockdowns. I can't imagine lockdowns. I can't imagine another school closing. I just can't imagine it.

All right, DEI. All right I think we've talked about it all. And ladies and gentlemen I'm gonna go talk to the locals people. Thanks for joining YouTube. Scott believes these people have reasons. I don't know which people. But if you believe that people operate on reason you have not followed me for very long. Bye for now.
