by now oh 2 and a half thousand people big audience today good well let’s do [Applause] [Music] that good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization it’s not working too well today but I got uh good feelings about the rest of the day if you’d like to take your day up to levels which are way better than mine right now all you need for that is a mug C mug or glass a tank of CH Stein the canteen juger flask vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee and join me now for the unparallel pleasure the dopamine here the day the thing that makes everything better it’s called the simultaneous sip it’s going to happen now go well so there probably won’t be any show uploaded to anything today because I I don’t know if I don’t even know if I can download it after it’s uploaded to
[1:04]
can download it after it’s uploaded to X so I think there will be no show on the other platforms today but we’ll see what we can do all right here’s the news unusual whales says there’s this uh study that shows 40% of people between 18 and 34 in the US have said they live with family 40% does that sound like a lot so there’s this new thing of people not being able to launch cuz it’s too expensive and and 27% of the people in that 18 to 34 have rubat so only 133% people in that uh in that zone are living alone now I remember when I was in my 20s and I did have you know back then you could rent a place quite reasonably and almost any job would be good enough to rent a place so if you had a job you
[2:05]
to rent a place so if you had a job you could rent a place but uh when I was living alone in my 20s I would say it was by far the worst period of my life anybody have that experience when they were young they successfully got out of the house and you successfully got your own place and it was the worst time of your life cuz you were just sort of alone all the time well it’s even worse and I guess Great Britain did a poll on a similar topic and found that 40% of adults can go days without any face-to-face reaction 40% of adults in it looks like Great Britain 40% can go days without having a face to face with another human being days 40%
[3:05]
that’s crazy how many of you are in that category cuz I am I’m in the category of people who um this weekend so this weekend I went two days without human contact except for hosway who was doing some work on the house yeah two days with no human contact and when Joo was here he was just sort of working out doors I didn’t see see him well and it’s worse for uh women I guess women are even lonelier it makes sense there’s another study that says that AI is now more persuasive than people so the new gp4 um apparently it’s more persuasive if it knows something about who it’s trying to persuade so if you’re trying to persuade somebody um if you know something about them they’re life the AI will just be way more and it said it was 82% more
[4:05]
way more and it said it was 82% more effective than humans at persuading do you know what that means if the AI is 82% more persuasive than humans have you fully internalized what that means that means it’s the most powerful weapon we’ve ever created let me say that again that means is more it’s already more powerful than the atomic bomb because if it’s really that persuasive and I’m skeptical whether it really is but that’s the initial report if it’s really that persuasive it’s the most dangerous thing that’s ever been invented by far now it could be the most useful thing because maybe it just talks you into exercising and being healthy but if you use it as a weapon and you created a bunch of bots and you also had some information about the people you were persuading you could
[5:05]
people you were persuading you could pretty much persuade them to remove their genitals for their own good which is what Tik Tock does tick tock should be viewed as AI because you know it’s a specialized kind the algorithm is essentially a form of intelligence because it’s making decisions in its own way an algorithm makes decisions so I would say it’s a of intelligence and that the Tik Tock algorithm has already become so persuasive that it literally can convince young people to remove their genitalia you can’t get much more persuasive than that that could be because your most basic you your most basic identity is your you know sex your gender and if it can change that and we observe in real time that it is that’s uh really dangerous now I feel like I’ve been the you know the person who’s been yelling you don’t see the danger wake up
[6:06]
you don’t see the danger wake up everybody I don’t know that they’re there yet I I still don’t think people understand because this was reported as just sort of a interesting news story oh here’s an interesting news story turns out that AI is way more persuasive than people no that’s not an interesting news story that’s the end of humankind I think you’re missing the big picture here that’s the end of humanity if it’s true because then the AI would be completely uncontrollable and it would be uncontrollable because it would now control us so we would say hey it’s time to turn you off and what would the AI do talk you out of it maybe well rasmuson says that uh 28% of uh likely voters say that they’re likely to vote for a third party candidate do you believe that 28% of Voters are uh likely to vote for a third
[7:10]
Voters are uh likely to vote for a third party candidate the answer is no no I I think this is the difference between what you tell a pollster and what you will actually do when people say oh yeah I would totally vote for a third party candidate what that really means is if there were a third party candidate who could win which is not the case and if they were greater than everybody else which might be the case so I think people I think people answer that question with like a a embedded hypothetical in their mind like well hypothetically if I thought they could win I’d vote for them but since people are going to go to the polls thinking that RFK Jr can’t win um he’s still going to put a big dent in the universe but I don’t think 28% you know maybe 10 maybe 12 well uh the new FSD software for your
[8:12]
12 well uh the new FSD software for your Tesla is uh being downloaded to people and it’s the new great version that people are just being blown away by but musk um is tripling down on this he says most people still have no idea how crushingly good Tesla FSD will get so he’s he’s telling us that you know we’re seeing the beginning of it um it will be superhuman to such a degree that it will seem strange in the future that humans drove cars even while exhausted and drunk that does seem stupid to me I’m already at the point where I can’t believe humans drive cars like my my mind is already fast forwarded to where it’s just going to seem stupid if you’re driving a car so I agree with him and as many people have said online but it’s worth repeating humans cannot understand the pace of advancement because our brain is sort of wired to think that things go in sort of a straight line it’s like oh it was up
[9:13]
a straight line it’s like oh it was up 10% yesterday maybe it’ll be up 10% today and maybe tomorrow it be another 10% but it’s hard for us to imagine it could be up you know something could improve 10% today and 1,50% tomorrow like your brain can’t hold that that’s just too hard to think of but the self-driving cars and AI in general might be in that category where you say to yourself oh that 10% oh now it’s up 10,000% Improvement just overnight so it’s going to sneak up on you it’s going to be uh what they say about bankruptcy how do you go bankruptcy slowly and then all at once it’s going to be one of those but will AI care about you well uh scoel reporting on X that there’s a startup called empathic AI That’s uh creating AIS that will listen to your voice and understand your
[10:16]
emotions remember I told you the AI could be 82% more persuasive than humans that’s before AI learns to judge your emotions let me say that again AI might be already 82% more persuasive than humans before it figures out what your emotional state is and knowing your emotional state is one of the biggest clues for how to persuade so remember I said start slow I’m I’m thinking wow 82% that’s seems like AI is going to have this like advantage over humans nope it already has an advantage it’s going to go to the moon the the advantage that AI will have will be effectively poetizing you you will be effectively poetized because if it gets even a little bit more persuasive you
[11:17]
even a little bit more persuasive you know maybe a doubling and it could be you know 10 times by next year if it even doubled from where it is it would control you completely and you would think that you were controlling yourself you would think you are controlling yourself do you know why cuz you believe you have a thing called Free Will as long as you believe you have free will AI will control you completely your only defense is to realize you don’t have free will and turn it off because it’d be too dangerous because you don’t have free will so the uh M the magical thinking that you have free will is what will make make you completely susceptible to AI manipul manipulating you if you believe that you don’t have a defense because you don’t have free will that’s what I believe then you can turn it off and you’d have a chance what happens have you noticed
[12:17]
chance what happens have you noticed that every big trend is anti-human reproduction it’s like no matter what you’re talking about there’s an angle that rep that reduces human reproduction this is being no no uh no difference so the uh imagine if your AI can read your emotional state and then have conversations with you well if it can read your emotional state remember your conversations and then be persuasive it’s going to be better than a spouse for a lot of people really quickly now you’re going to say but but but I can’t have sex with a machine and I’m going to say but but but nobody’s having sex people aren’t even having sex with other humans most people did I just tell you that 40% of the adults don’t even talk to a human for days you think they’re no they’re not even meeting other humans in person so no um your human is not going
[13:20]
person so no um your human is not going to replace the machine 40% will immediately say you know what meating humans is just too hard I like this machine it knows my emotional State I really like talking to it it seems to care so no the machines when they can navigate your emotional needs and be more persuasive and be infinitely uh infinitely patient with you and never be a dick humans are going to have a tough time competing with that well speaking of persuasion The Washington Post is saying that uh uh more women are quitting birth control because of what they call the misinformation do you think that’s what’s going on do you think women are getting off of birth control because of the the misinformation well there might be some misinformation yeah there’s always misinformation but I don’t think it’s the misinformation that’s the problem I think it’s that we came from a pandemic
[14:21]
think it’s that we came from a pandemic in which we learned that all the experts and doctors are either Liars or incompetent and simply believing them when they give you a pill is not always your best play so I think some of it has to do with the the waking up to the fact that there’s a lot of stuff we’ve been putting in our bodies that was not that were not tested to the degree that you would want them to be tested that’s the RFK RFK version and I think that uh at least on the conservative side um Ashley St Clair is probably making a big difference is there how many of you have seen uh on the xplatform user Ashley Sinclair talking about her opinion about birth control how many of you have seen it just in the comments we got 11,000 people watching here on X it’s quite a show all right your comments just disappear all right there we go uh got one
[15:22]
go uh got one yes all right yes yes yes all right well but uh I think Elon musk has been boosting her and I’ve been boosting her and probably some other accounts have been boosting her so you always ask how much difference can one person make I think this is one person I think this is Ashley Sinclair who is making a strong enough case in the right place that there are people with bigger accounts that are boosting it but really it’s starting with one person you know the if you ever said to yourself what difference can one person make do you need a better example than this I mean you’ve seen me make a difference in actual you know National Events maybe International you would never know um so I I watch this as a persuasion story I don’t have any medical knowledge
[16:23]
story I don’t have any medical knowledge that would tell me what’s good for your body so I’m not making any recommendations but talk to your doctor all right James Carville is sounding the alarm again that young men are leaving the Democrats in droves H can you think of who was the first person who told you maybe maybe around 2016 that the Democrats were becoming the party of women and that it was inevitable that men would realize it and leave the party I think that was me I think I was the first person who told you that several years ago but now James Carville says it’s not just something to worry about it’s something that’s happening massively younger men of color he says it’s horrifying that all these men are leaving no it’s not horrifying you created a political party to discriminate against men if you create a political party to discriminate against men how about
[17:24]
discriminate against men how about acting really surprised that men are leaving your party what did Hillary Clinton say she said women are better for leaders because they listen better so if I were a man I wouldn’t want my leader to say matter are inferior and certainly if you look at what’s happening with Dei does Dei affect women as much as it does men white men white men versus white women which one are destroyed by Dei the men the the entire entire operating system of the Democrat Party is diversity diversity is anti-white male period so if you were a white male why the hell would you be a Democrat and if you were a black man you say it seems like women are running this party and nothing’s getting done for me and you’d be right cuz it’s not being run for you the party is being run for
[18:24]
run for you the party is being run for the women cuz they dominate the you know a lot of the topics so yes James Carville you’re right and it’s not going to stop at all uh I I saw u i saw a story about uh Trump’s use of the his mug shot to try to get more black voters and you know the news is saying my God Trump you racist how could you imagine that black voters are going to be more likely to vote for you cuz you did something that looks criminal how in the world do you think that’s going to play and then I saw a video where somebody was interviewing a black attend I think they were mostly Republican conservative black people who attended some event in which Trump actually said that and And the reporter said what do you think about that do you think people are more likely to vote for him especially black citizens because they did something criminal how do you feel about that and the black conservatives pretty
[19:28]
that and the black conservatives pretty much everyone one of them said oh yeah we totally get that I mean in their own words they’re like oh yeah we totally get that you he’s being abused by the system we often feel abused by the system yeah totally relate to that so it was exactly what Trump said and and he’s the only one who has the balls to say it out loud it’s like you know you might actually I might actually become more popular in the black community because it would look like I’m being victimized in a similar way and I think he’s right I think he’s actually right about that Thomas Massie is not too happy with the speaker of the house um it looks like they’re going to talk about giving a lot of Aid to Israel and there’s a Ukraine funding package coming up and Thomas Massie posts this on X um what is your mission sir we are starting to wonder when you suspend all of our rules give us no time to read bills increase foreign aid include earmarks that undermine morality spend more with
[20:29]
undermine morality spend more with omnius than Pelosi don’t secure the border and pass laws with more Democrats than Republicans you actually can’t tell if the Speaker of the House who is a republican is a Republican or a Democrat because his actions appear like Democrats so poor Thomas Massi is wondering why they elected a speaker of the house that’s just going to act exactly like a Democrat well that’s a pretty good question isn’t it I don’t know the answer well over where I live it’s a place called the East Bay and it means it’s the East Bay um of the San Francisco Bay I’m on the East part of that bay where I live and uh apparently there’s uh Pirates we now have pirates in the East Bay so some of the homeless have somehow commandeered or found small vessels and
[21:31]
commandeered or found small vessels and they’re creating a little pirate Army uh that is uh robbing other house boats and harassing people on the on the bay now I’ve got two reactions to the homeless pirate Army number one you know you think of the homeless as having no aspirations and no ambition but apparently that would be very um wrong of you amb bigoted turns out the homeless are very creative and uh they’ve got aspirations so they’re creating their little pirate Army so we’ll see how that works out meanwhile also in California there are these Chilean gangs who are so well organized for robbing homes the robbing highend homes that they have Wi-Fi Jammers um to thwart your security and all kinds of special break-in tools and there’s a video of them actually removing a
[22:33]
them actually removing a gigantic what looked like a gun safe from a house they could actually remove your safe and that’s not easy so yeah so there’s massive uh what they robbed 800,000 in jewels from one house and they’re all well trained they got masks and gloves and everything so yesterday last night I was doing my uh my live stream from my house and I was in the man cave I always do a live stream for my local subscribers from the house in in the evening and suddenly my uh Wi-Fi went down and not only did my Wi-Fi go down but my uh my 5G went down at the same time which by the way always happens and I I guess they share some infrastructure so I’ve got my my cell phone as my backup for my Wi-Fi but they go down at the same time I don’t know why I’ve never figured out
[23:33]
don’t know why I’ve never figured out why I guess it’s some common Network infrastructure so I’m sitting there in my man cave and my Wi-Fi fails at the same time as my cell fails and I’m saying to myself am I being hit by a Chilean uh Wi-Fi thoring gang so I went from thinking oh my Wi-Fi service is not dependable to uhoh it’s a home invasion and there’s an armed gang probably in my on my balcony right now coming through the window so it’s very scary when the Wi-Fi goes out if you live in a high-end home let me tell you that’s new that’s new but as far as I know they are not going into homes that they believe to be occupied my understanding is that these criminals are it’s basically a business and the last thing they want to do is run into a homeowner so I think they must spend a lot of time casing your home before they know if
[24:34]
casing your home before they know if you’re if you’re actually going to be gone so two of my neighbors have been hit by I think the same gang and when I say neighbor I mean right there like I’m looking at my neighbor like right there that neighbor had a Chilean or some South American gang go through their upstairs balcony window but both of the the neighbors that got hit weren’t home and it was during the day so can you imagine that burglars are going to go into your house in the daytime in a populated you know neighborhood and but they did it when they knew the homeowners weren’t there so that takes a lot of casing so one of the things I do is I make sure I pick up my mail every day because I didn’t used to do that I mean it’s just in the mailbox but I didn’t always walk to the end of my driveway and get it cuz it’s all garbage but I can’t leave any mail in my mailbox anymore cuz it’ll look like I’m not home so I also put up some signs to indicate
[25:36]
so I also put up some signs to indicate I have a vicious attack dog which as you all know I totally do have a vicious attack dog um one of the things I learned from one of my police officer neighbors a while ago I I asked what is the rate of burglaries in this area now this was before you know the Chilean gangs this was before got that dangerous and I said how often does a home in this area get burgled and he being you know an expert on the topic said well U it’s not very often it’s usually you know garages and kids stealing stuff from garages usually he said but if you have a dog the rate is zero and I said what yeah the rate of the rate of home burglaries if you have a dog is zero they don’t want to deal with the dog yeah now I don’t know if the dog has to be a certain size but they don’t like the noise so at the very least they don’t like the noise so if
[26:38]
least they don’t like the noise so if you don’t have a dog get a sign that says you to have a dog that’s my advice let’s compare Florida versus California that’s a fun thing to do um so both Florida and California are losing residents apparently I don’t know what the net is but a lot of people move to Florida have decided they didn’t like it they moved during the pandemic and some are moving out and as you know uh California is a net negative but for different reasons anyway uh Florida is more about the weather I think and California is more about the poor governance um but Florida is I guess going to vote on the right to abortion and legal marijuana in November so marijuana and abortion are on the agenda in Florida what do you think about legal marijuana in Florida do you think Florida will legalize marijuana I think yes but I’m not sure
[27:39]
marijuana I think yes but I’m not sure and it could be because they have a lot of Senior Citizens senior citizens like their weed and golf carts yeah they do but I thought I should uh give you my more extensive opinion on legalized weed I’m I’m watching with great interest as Mike covich is persuading against the use of it I think that from a health perspective he is completely right meaning if you don’t smoke marijuana it’s a bad idea to start so can can we say that up front and I’m not a doctor and I never recommend anybody would put any kind of chemical in their body without talking to a doctor everybody’s different everybody’s different and the main message I want to give you is that uh weed will kill some people you know indirectly but it will take your life away uh but for others it’s a plus and I thought I’d break that down a little bit here’s the best way to think of it
[28:40]
bit here’s the best way to think of it if you have difficulty motivating yourself specifically motivating for social things but also business things like if you have trouble knocking on that door asking for that advice asking for that promotion working hard enough to get ahead you know taking that you know education at night if you have trouble motivating yourself do not do weed big mistake right so if motivation is your problem weed is not your solution because it’s going to make the couch look good however if you’re the opposite of that and you’re so motivated that it’s hurting your health meaning that you’re working too hard and you can’t get to sleep because you’re always thinking about work and that sort of thing it might actually help you relax it could actually help your motivation or or help your success because you need some balance so if you’re completely unbalanced with work and you’re obsessed with it you could see in some situation and again this is not a recommendation
[29:41]
and again this is not a recommendation it’s just the first filter for yourself ask yourself who you are if you have trouble getting motivated don’t touch Weed really don’t touch it that’d be crazy if you’re already so motivated that your hardest problem is relaxing maybe that’s my situation my situation is um uh if I didn’t smoke weed I get way too aggressive and I work too hard it’s the only it’s just really helps me relax but it doesn’t mean it would work for you it’s very individual so if you work at home and you’ve got a creative job like I do it might boost your creativity it does for me uh very very distinctly very quickly very definitely there’s no doubt about it that it helps me do my job but I have a very weird job almost nobody is in my situation I don’t even know anybody I mean except other cartoonists I suppose but for most other jobs this uh weed would just be one more thing to get you fired and it’s a bad
[30:42]
thing to get you fired and it’s a bad idea they might drug test you they might just not like it if they hear about it and it’s not going to make you a better cop or a doctor or a lawyer just as some examples don’t do weed if you have to do important things but if you’re just there sitting thinking about jokes or writing music maybe might help you so weed can be a lifesaver for some um because of the all the medical benefits or at least a dozen mental health benefits and physical benefits that are substantial and for some people we helps some exercise more does anybody have that experience and again this is not a recommendation everybody’s different talk to your doctor I don’t recommend wheed but it is true that many people and I’m in this category can exercise well into their senior years without pain and without a problem with motivation because of weed so for me working out without it is
[31:43]
weed so for me working out without it is like really a struggle but with it Best Time Ever Long Walk go for a run yeah best lifting weights oh my God it’s good for that cuz you can take more pain in your muscles and it just doesn’t register as painful you know you’re still aware of as you’re not going to hurt yourself but it’s just completely changes your workout ability but for others it probably makes you not go to the gym so again if you’re super motivated might help you work out if you’re unmotivated to begin with and you can’t get to the gym weed is not going to help you it’s not all right and I know lots of people who stopped drinking alcohol and a substituted weed might be a plus again it’s individual might not be and others who stopped taking mental health uh you know uh meds and didn’t eat it anymore and substituted it with a little weed
[32:43]
and substituted it with a little weed before bed and felt good the whole next day so for some people weed is a gigantic Improvement in happiness for others it will destroy them and then weed is bad for miners in every case let me say that twice weed is bad for miners in every case it’s just a bad idea yeah just don’t do that for mins their brains are not not developed but I would like to summarize it this way there’s something that weed and guns have Inc common now analogies are always imperfect so let me tell you right away that when I make an analogy between Weed and gun ownership I don’t mean that weed has bullets right so if you’re picking a part the details of the analogy you’re doing it wrong there’s only one part of the analogy that I want you to hear wheed is good for some people and bad for others guns are good for some people and bad for others would I be better off
[33:44]
bad for others would I be better off with a gun hypothetically probably because I’m a Target you know as a public figure you you end up being a Target and I’m not insane and I don’t young kids in in the house and uh I would never engage in gun ownership without making sure all the proper precautions and locks and everything are done so for somebody like me would a gun Be A Plus or a minus well probably a plus for somebody else is gun ownership going to make them U more safe or more in danger more in danger yeah if you’re a single woman living in the inner city and you don’t want a gun for yourself feels too dangerous it’s probably bad that other people have them so you can’t say the guns are either good or bad because they’re good for some and bad for others and it’s always been just a power struggle you know if you want your guns you want your guns for whatever reason and if you don’t you don’t and
[34:45]
reason and if you don’t you don’t and you’re never going to get those two people to agree it’s just a power struggle weed’s the same thing it will be good for some and just absolutely terrible for others but just know that well assisted SU side might become a contagion Dr Jordan Peterson warns us quite correctly I believe that there’s a I hate to say slippery slope but um this is what Jordan Peterson says mark my words um it’s based on an article that says there’s a young woman who’s got mental health problems she’s completely intelligent and she’s 27 years old her body is healthy but apparently she I think she’s in Canada no not Canada she’s in another country where it’s legal I forget where uh Canada or Europe somewhere and she’s going to um she’s already planned her death she has a boyfriend who’s going to join her you know be with her when it happens she’s looking forward to it because life is
[35:48]
looking forward to it because life is terrible and it’ll be doctor assistant now regardless of what you think about this individual case and I think it’s ambiguous I would like to um I guess I’ll just tell you a a personal story uh when I was much younger I had every intention of ending things because I I was in intense pain physical pain uh every day for some you don’t need to know the details but I was intense physical pain every day the intense physical pain led me to think that if I if if I couldn’t figure out how to fix it in a certain time I gave myself a deadline that I would uh just check out because I didn’t want to live with continuous intense pain every day so um I went to college and I thought
[36:48]
so um I went to college and I thought I’m going to try a semester of college if this doesn’t work out we’re going to take the hard way out and on my first day of college a young woman said would you like to smoke a joint and I had never done such a thing had no experience with it but she was attractive it was my first day of college and I said absolutely didn’t know what I was doing didn’t know what didn’t know anything about it tried it once it was the last day I ever had pain want to make sure you heard that I was intense physical pain my entire life digestive stomach issues the first time I tried pot was the last time I had pain so when I tell you that it benefits some people I mean it really does but it could also kill you if you weren’t me if you weren’t that very specific situation it could kill you so just be clear about that no matter how many success stories
[37:49]
that no matter how many success stories you you hear they’re not even the majority I don’t think probably not the majority so I have a I have a very personal feeling about this young woman who is saying to herself you know what I’ve tried everything I mean you you if you’re not in her situation you can say to yourself yeah but have you tried everything it’s her life her life it’s her her decision and if she can’t find a way to um Qui the demons in her head that make every day a torture I I approve of her right to take another Direction now do I think it’s a good idea I don’t know all I know for sure is that I’m not in her head and all I know for sure is that you weren’t in my head but if you’ve never been in a situation where you thought it was a good choice you shouldn’t have a vote on
[38:51]
you shouldn’t have a vote on this does that make sense if you’ve never personally experienced something so bad and so seemingly unsolvable I mean 18 years of an unsolvable problem looks pretty unsolvable but if you’ve never experienced it I don’t think you can judge this woman however independent of the specific case which is horrifying and you know to us who are watching it it’s horrifying to me and I have some insight into it from my personal experience it’s still horrifying to to hear this but I think that uh here’s what’s different um some years ago I was influential in getting it ped as a law in California so I was very much Pro doctor assisted suicide under the you know medical supervision you know at least two doctors confirm it you know some some stuff like that and what I did not count on is the Tik Tock
[39:53]
not count on is the Tik Tock effect the Tik Tock effect largely guarantees the Jordan Peterson is correct meaning that if you’d never heard about this case and it was just one young woman with one specific thing whether she made a choice you liked or didn’t like you wouldn’t know about it and if you did it would be because it was in a newspaper and not something that your 18-year-old is looking at they wouldn’t look at the news but they’re sure looking at Tik Tok so all it’s going to take is an influencer to off themselves and you will lose thousands of young people one influencer who makes a good argument for why it makes sense in their case and maybe you even watch the process and they die that would kill thousands of young people thousands because they would be persuaded that this is an option that they hadn’t thought about before and the 18-year-olds have not
[40:54]
before and the 18-year-olds have not done what the 27-year-old did which which is try everything and also see if you can grow out of it cuz everybody’s a little messed up when they’re a teenager I mean we all feel like it’s terminal so if you haven’t awaited a little bit certainly extra dangerous so I would say that Jordan Peterson is completely correct and I am rethinking whether it was a gigantic mistake to persuade in favor of making it a law in California cuz it’s definitely a lifesaver well a life Lifesaver for people in Desperate end of life situations but he’s right Jordan Peterson is 100% right this will be romanticized because of Tik Tock and it will turn into a contagion and it will kill thousands it’s guaranteed there’s no way around this there’s nothing we’re doing that could stop this now will Tik Tock be banned I say no because I think
[41:55]
Tock be banned I say no because I think there’s too much money involved and our Congress is susceptible to money influences so that’s really the end of the the story kakoa The Great has a update on Fulton County in the 2020 election now Molly Hemingway says that she had already talked about this in her book uh rigged what’s the name of Molly Hemingway’s book rigged is it um but uh if you search for her you’ll find the book but uh I hadn’t heard it so this is related to Jeff Clark’s uh um trial uh regarding January 6 and and all that stuff in the 2020 election so Mark Windgate he’s this uh this is Cano the grace reporting uh a fton County election board member and he was testifying in this Jeff Clark case and he said that he voted against certifying the 2020 election in Fon County because the county did not verify the signature
[42:57]
the county did not verify the signature on 147,000 mail in votes now my understanding is that that claim is not disputed that there were 147,000 millon votes that they didn’t do the signature verification do you think that all the people were saying this election was fair because no court found it was not do you think they know this probably not um and then he said uh I asked what do we do for signature verification and the comment I got back frankly floored me he said we didn’t do any we didn’t do any it’s not that he didn’t know about it they didn’t do it now when people say our elections are so Rock Solid clean and there’s nothing wrong with does anybody know that they didn’t do the process they just didn’t do do it how about anything else any other problems Additionally the County could
[43:57]
problems Additionally the County could not provide any chain of custody documentation or surveillance footage for mail-in ballots or ballot dropboxes what quote I and the other board members had requested that we obtain the chain of custody documentations from the department and none of that was ever delivered now none of it was ever delivered um but that doesn’t mean it didn’t exist at some point now it’s just as bad if they didn’t do the surveillance and they didn’t do a chain of custody that’s terrible if they did them and they won’t make them available H that might be worse if you know what I mean so and he says there was never any surveillance tape and inch of footage delivered to the board H uh he says there were problems with voter registration rules is still exist in fton County now when you hear hear that is
[44:58]
County now when you hear hear that is that enough votes that would have changed the result 147,000 melon votes if if something suspicious happened only with just those those votes nothing else would that be enough to change the election yes yes so what this says in very clear terms is we don’t know who won 2020 is that unfair because if if I heard that the there was a chain of custody that looked good there was surveillance there was no problem there was signature verification even if they didn’t do a good job if I’d heard that all those things were verified to have happened I would say you know what probably a fair election probably but if you hear that these things were not done or this information was not provided the only reasonable explanation is that it was rigged doesn’t mean it’s true but the best working assumption is it was and
[45:59]
best working assumption is it was and that we can’t check if he can’t check it’s rigged let me just say that if you can’t check you can’t audit it’s cuz it’s rigged because everybody would have everybody would have an incentive to show you everything you wanted to see if they were involved in running the election the people run the election would want you to see everything so you could see it’s fine and they did a good job but if the people running the election are like we don’t have that I’m not going to give it to you that only means one thing either they don’t know who won or they don’t want to tell you that there was something that was a problem and if the people running it don’t know who won CU they didn’t have the right controls I think we should know that I feel like they should tell us that um all right um and then there’s a New Mexico judge federal judge issued a 300 page ruling
[47:00]
federal judge issued a 300 page ruling in favor of election Integrity activists I heard this from somebody called George on on X um it says that the election Integrity office who argued that the state violated federal law by refusing to provide election records so apparently the activist legally requested records about the election and the state did didn’t give them to them and should have and now the judge has awarded them attorney fees and and yep so what does it mean when there are things which you are legally entitled to which would tell you whether the election was good or not and then the state says oh we’re not going to give that to you you’re legally entitled to them it only means one thing it either means the state doesn’t know who won and they don’t want you to know that or they know there’s a problem and they don’t want you to know that
[48:00]
and they don’t want you to know that there’s no other reason if they said we lost them or something well maybe but if they just don’t give them to you I’m pretty sure that’s a bad sign um and here’s something even worse to tie into all my other stories we found out that uh the Facebook had been selling to Netflix private information including the private messages from Facebook users you didn’t hear that wrong you didn’t hear that wrong Facebook sold for over $100 million the private messages of Facebook users to Netflix so that Netflix could you know use it for their predictions and recommendations I guess and apparently I think the uh head of Netflix was on the Facebook B boor so was all kind of an incestuous thing now do you remember the story about how AI
[49:03]
do you remember the story about how AI is more persuasive than people but only when the AI knows something about the the person what do you think AI could learn from your oh I don’t know private EMA your private messages on Facebook do you think it could learn about you in a way that could help it persuade you yes yes do you think think that uh bite dance having personal information about its users could help its AI Bots persuade you yes yes that’s why they want personal information among other reasons I guess but one of them is it makes their their persuasion much more effective they can Target it and so you can I think you can conclude from this story that no message you ever send will ever be private if I haven’t told you that let me tell you again no message you ever send on any platform whether encrypted
[50:04]
send on any platform whether encrypted whether signal whether telegram whether WhatsApp none of it is safe because if you a law enforcement or a CIA what is the one place you would definitely make sure you had full control of every place that people send encrypted messages cuz that’s where all the good stuff is they don’t need to look at your Gmail cuz you’re not sending crimes through Gmail you’re going over to signal and Telegram and WhatsApp cuz you’re all you’re all encrypted uh good good thing I’m encrypted no no it might keep your neighbor from reading your message but they couldn’t see them anyway no encrypted is not going to keep it out of the government’s hands well here’s the update on the embarrassing Saga of Mark cubin and Dei so the background in this is markk had been very vocal on social media in an interviews talking about the benefits of Dei and everybody who knew what Dei was and how it works thought what is going
[51:04]
and how it works thought what is going on have you lost your mind are you really stupid and you’ve been pretending to be smart is it some kind of an OP did somebody pay you to do it like nobody could understand why someone who operates at such a high level and appears to be so smart in so many domains would be completely lost on this topic and now we have the answer he didn’t know what it was so he went from thinking that Dei was about uh equal opportunity which it very much is not it’s about equal outcomes but now Having learned that it was always about equal outcomes and not opportunity he’s saying that from a CEO perspective that’s wrong because there’s no such thing as a CEO who thinks that equal outcomes is smart and certainly nobody said it out loud if they did so from a CEO perspective and that would be his perspective there’s nobody who believes that equal outcomes
[52:06]
nobody who believes that equal outcomes is a goal or that should be pursued but uh he made the mistake of saying that to Mark to Christopher rufo who has all the receipts and gave him 10 examples from his own personal reporting that shows the CEOs very much know what Dei means and it means equal outcomes and they’re very explicit about it it so um here’s the problem apparently Mark cubin thought that if the CI if the CEO is thinking in terms of equal opportunity that that’s how the company will operate that is a gigantic blind spot let me tell you what everybody who’s ever been an employee and also white knows happens in the room world let’s say I’m your CEO and I say diversity is important but the way we want to get there is through equal opportunity because it would be dumb to
[53:08]
opportunity because it would be dumb to have equal outcomes can’t guarantee that so but at least I want you to work really hard to increase your equal opportunities so that that when now you as a manager a hiring manager you’ve heard these instructions there’s no quot right you didn’t hear a quota and you also heard very clearly no it’s not about outcomes I’m going to make sure everybody has equal opportunity so at the end of the year your CEO looks at your performance and says um you have exactly the same mix of people you did a year ago I told you diversity was important and then you say yeah but there was no there was no goal for it and the CEO CEO says well are you idiot we have 133% black people in the country and you have no black employees I have to give you a quot you don’t understand what diversity even means you’re
[54:09]
fired they don’t need to give you a quota everybody knows what the quot is everybody knows you want about a half of them to be women you want 133% to be black you want you know everybody knows everybody knows the quota there’s always a quota cuz we all know it automatically now what what happens if you say to your boss boss I have created opportunities all over the place we did Outreach at the historical black colleges we we did mailings um to you know in marketing to Target uh Black and Hispanic communities and and lgbtq and but we just didn’t get the same same number of people walking through the door who wanted a job so opportunity was great but didn’t translate into action so the CEO what does the CEO say then oh well it looks like you tried really hard so I’ll give you a big bonus no no the the CEO is just going to
[55:09]
bonus no no the the CEO is just going to look at your mix of employees and say you didn’t do a damn thing that made a difference no bonus so how does how does Mark cuin not know how anything in the real world works at the employee level never been one I just don’t think he’s had the experience because from a conceptual level it actually makes perfect perfect sense what Mark is saying he’s saying that if the CEO is telling you to work on opportunity that’s very clear it’s not outcomes it’s opportunity but in the real world everybody’s going to hear quota and they’re going to hear outcome and they’re going to manage to it because that’s how they get paid incentives are everything incentives are everything so if you let uh Mark cubin argue that CEOs might think of it differently than the staff he’s you’re
[56:11]
differently than the staff he’s you’re allowing him to change the argument into the Absurd because it doesn’t matter what the CEO thinks or what they say it only matters what the managers who are doing the hiring here and how it will affect their own careers and that’s all that matters so that’s why Dei always turns into a a nightmare um Christopher rufo is doing an amazing amazing job on setting the world straight on this stuff amazing well let’s see uh um Charlie Kirk is reporting that uh a decade ago McKenzie big consulting company one of the biggest um they did some studies that showed that uh increasing your diversity helped your company so you’d make more money if you had a diverse company and now it turns out those studies were all bogus surprise the studies were all
[57:13]
surprise the studies were all bogus and an updated analysis by two economics professors finds that the studies were totally bogus there was no link between diversity in sales growth or higher stock price because the I is a scam yeah um all right and axios is reporting that companies are cutting back on Dei and they don’t mention it during you know uh stockholder reports and stuff so they’re really cutting back on their emphasis on it um and let’s see why is that let’s see it’s axios very Democrat publication and they’re saying Dei is being cut back well what what do you think will be the reason they’re going to give for that Democrat republication Dei is being cut back huh all let’s find out um it says companies have backed away from Dei over the past few years in the wake of attacks oh
[58:13]
few years in the wake of attacks oh there’s attacks from lawmakers oh attacking lawmakers oh God W ah do you hate anything more than attacking lawmakers I don’t know those attacking lawmakers ERS I hate them but what else oh it gets worse also attacks by high-profile Rich guys oh God I hate them oh those high-profile Rich guys and conservative activists like former Trump a Steven Miller you know if you were a conservative activist you’re probably just like Steven Miller am I right all of you all of you everyone of you you’re all little Steven Millers why because they think they can make a case that Steven Miller is the devil so if if you happen to be on his team you’re on the devil’s team just be sure of that so what would be let’s say you were
[59:14]
that so what would be let’s say you were not a Democrat publication and you want to frame this in a different way what a way that wasn’t bad crazy how would you do it well maybe you’d say Dei has become a distraction and indeed the way it was implemented is completely racist and illegal so rather than fight the Battle of continuing to do things that are overtly racist and illegal and have provided no benefits to us whatsoever we’ve decided to do less of the thing that is only bad for us but not a lot less yeah we want to keep a little bit of it at least that’s how I would have framed it I don’t think I would have said it was attacks from lawmakers and high-profile Rich guys in conservative activists just like Steven Miller no I would not say that Trump posted bail um for the 175 million um I had
[1:00:16]
bail um for the 175 million um I had some inside information about that because I knew somebody who was in that uh bail B not bail did I say bail I meant Bond I wrote it I wrote it on my notes as bail I think I think I was thinking it got to two4 no the bond not the bail idiot the bond so he posted the bond I knew the bond would be posted cuz I happen to know somebody who works in that business who was bidding on it so in other words I knew somebody who offered to do the bond but other people had offered to do the bond and it went in a different direction so given that uh somebody had offered um I knew it would I knew it would happen so it did happen um here’s Trump winning again on a different topic uh so the gag order has been extended in the one of the many lawfare cases so this is the case where the judge has a daughter who’s a Democrat activist
[1:01:18]
Democrat activist anti-trumper and the Trump and his team would like to have the judge recuse himself cuz how can a judge be biased if his daughter is literally an activist against the guy that he’s trying to decide on so what did the judge do the judge extended the gag order to make it uh less practical for Trump to talk about an obvious appearance of bias in the justice system and what the judge said was this pattern of attacking family members of pre of presiding jurus and attorneys assigned to these cases serves no legitimate purpose really really that’s not a legitimate purpose to say that your daughter is an advocate against me personally that’s not a legitimate purpose in a legal case no that’s as legitimate as you can get you
[1:02:21]
that’s as legitimate as you can get you cannot get more legitimate than that you piece of judge you just made him uh go up another two points in the polls judge is Trump is brilliant Trump um getting that gag order extended is just Trump winning because it made it a story if Trump had not resisted and made this a story do you think that the idiots uh who were opposing him would have ever heard that the judge’s daughter is clearly going to influence the father now you could say oh but Scott he’s a professional judge and he’s going to just rule on the facts no we don’t live in that world where that’s even slightly smart to say we live in a world where you can tell what the judge will rule before the evidence is presented let me do it uh the Supreme Court the next issue if has any kind of conservative uh thing to it they’re
[1:03:24]
conservative uh thing to it they’re going to vote for it cuz they’re mostly conservatives now watch watch The Magic The Magic of me predicting the future of the courts just by knowing their leanings now do you think a a DC or a New York judge or trial is going to give Trump a fair uh hearing of course not of course not do you think Trump has a right Free Speech as well as the justice system to call out what is an obvious bias obvious obvious obvious bias yes he does what do the public think when they see this happening to Trump that he can’t say an obvious thing in a free country an obvious thing your daughter is an activist against me how is that not affect the father how could it possibly not affect them so good job Trump wins again every time they push against him he’s
[1:04:24]
time they push against him he’s going to get stronger because do you know who who looks at a story like this and says um I’m not comfortable with this everybody everybody yeah uh are you worried that uh young black men will leave the Democrat Party well I don’t know how many of them are reading the news because young people don’t read a lot of news but if they read this news they’re definitely going to say wait a minute wait a minute hold on are you saying that the judge who’s ruling on Trump the judge’s daughter promotes anti-trump stuff or you know anti-republican stuff which is the same stuff there’s nobody in the world who thinks that’s appropriate you don’t have to be a lawyer you don’t have to be a judge to know that Trump is being railroaded and that this judge needs to be replaced with somebody who doesn’t have this appearance of of bias and by the way it’s a joke to call it the appearance of bias this is bias nobody
[1:05:24]
appearance of bias this is bias nobody can nobody can be unbiased against their daughter who’s unbiased against their daughter anyway if he is that’s a bigger problem uh Ukraine is going full drone Army it looks like so you know they’re not getting all the good weapons but they’re creating this 10,000 drone operator Army theyve Ukraine has its own Factory for making drones now and they’re attacking over 700 miles into into uh Russian territory so they took out some Refinery or they attacked Refinery it didn’t didn’t take it out so it’s going to be an all drone War I think 10,000 new drone Pilots just last year if you had 10,000 drones in the air you’re in pretty good pretty good situation and they also are developing deadly sea drones to attack Navy ships so it looks like it’s uh going to be a big old standoff forever
[1:06:29]
why are we giving them money I don’t know so at the same time that speaker Johnson wants to give Ukraine a bunch of money for no good reason that I could see um CNN reports that the United States is set to approve 18 billion in military sales to Israel let’s do some background check Israel’s GDP debt to GDP is about 61% in 2022 so Israel’s debt to GDP is 61% America is about 120% so we have twice the debt obligation of Israel and we’re giving them money we’re giving money to people have more money than us literally now not actually I should say as a as a percentage of uh per capita not as a total number we have a bigger economy of course but don’t you think that the beginning of when we should consider giving money to anybody is when their debt to GDP is at least
[1:07:30]
is when their debt to GDP is at least ours right because if our debt is sustainable without destroying the country then the minimum we should ask of any country we’re helping is that they at least get up to our level of debt so if we give them money you know at least it makes sense logically but it doesn’t make sense to be poorer than the country you’re giving money to on a per capita basis that’s does that make sense to me it looks like a transfer of wealth to some weapons makers now I know what you going to say but Scott that money is just used to buy American weapons mostly so it comes right back to us no it doesn’t come back to me it comes back to the weapons makers the friends of Congress I don’t see this as anything but a way to Congress to give money to their friends and maybe they get some of it back so what is the per capita income in the United States versus Israel I don’t know
[1:08:32]
United States versus Israel I don’t know if these numbers are accurate CU I saw them from two different sources but in 2023 the uh us per capita income was 58,000 in um no I’m sorry that’s in Israel and the us it’s about 50,000 so Israel has a higher per capita income than the United States and in a better debt situation by far and we’re giving them money do you think that Israel will lose the war without the extra money do do you think that there there’s some risk looks like it’s going to be a close one if we don’t fund them there’s no way they’re going to be Hamas it looks like they kind of have control there anyway so uh I’ll will remind you that my opinion of the Gaza Israel situation is that my opinion has no value and so I’m not even going to
[1:09:35]
value and so I’m not even going to bother with it Israel is going to do what Israel is going to do and my opinion and your opinion are not going to make any difference and in that area Whoever has the most power is going to totally dominate whoever doesn’t and if the Palestinians had all the power they would do the same thing you know they would do the same thing so that doesn’t mean you can approve of it I think you can disapprove of it no matter who’s doing it but complaining about it doesn’t get you anything cuz it’s just going to happen 200 years from now will it look like a genius move by Israel maybe it might it might it might look like it was brilliant and impr presentent um at the moment it just looks like a lot of people dying and it’s hard to hard to get behind that but in the long run will it work out it might it might and that ladies and gentlemen brings us to the conclusion of my prepared
[1:10:35]
my prepared remarks uh normally at this time I would go do a private separate stream for the locals people which I’ll try to do but when I tried to do it just before I came on here I had a technical problem so if it doesn’t come up right away wait five minutes because I’ll work on it for five minutes if it doesn’t work in five minutes then it’s something deeper that I can’t do anything about so if if it’s not just restarting and trying again there’s not much I could do about it today that would be a system problem well it looks like we’ve got the biggest audience we’ve ever had on the xplatform cuz people from the other platforms are coming over to watch it’s the one that’s working at the moment you guys having fun in the comments or is it glitchy on the xplatform anybody getting any glitches let’s do a quality
