Love, a pop up of the phone good morning, everybody and welcome to another highlight of civilization. The best thing that's ever happened to all of you yeah today, It's going to be an awesome day for most of you, oh yeah, yeah things are looking up today. Why no reason you don't read the reason for why you do need to take it up to the maximum potential. Is a cup or mug or glass, tankard, chelsea style, canteen, jug or flask of vessel of any kind? Fellow with your favorite liquid, I like coffee and join me now for the unparalleled pleasure the help me here today? The thing that makes everything better, it's called the simultaneous happens now go.

do? You know what we say after the simultaneous up. This is: do pay attention after the simultaneous up it is allowed to say slippery data. You can say that home, I won't be sailor, ear scibili data that is approved Well, you know facebook decided to launch better or become meta, and it's gonna be all about the virtual world. So as I go and so far

if there are a number of virtual worlds that have been built that nobody is visiting. So it turns out that nobody wants to put on the headset and visit a virtual world as empty, and I have a question: did facebook figure out how to make you not get a headache or not not a headache but any Motion signals from wearing the goggles they solve that, because is what is it alone, maybe four years ago or something I was testing house than we are and it was amazing you could tell it was definitely the future by you couldn't do it for more than fifteen minutes or something because it be some kind of some kind of it. It just motion sickness and I dont even get motion sickness, but the vieira goggles made me sick too.

yeah? This is pretty bad. The the sickness you get it'll last for awhile after you take the good, the goggles off you're you're down for an hour, at least after you use them, but that was the old with the old days, but maybe they fix that cause. I dunno what it was that causes it yeah, once replica gets into meta, it'll be a digital broth Well, that is correct. That is correct, so you know there's a growing trend of men who are not having sex intentionally. You know that right now they say intentionally cause they can.

It sucks, but what's going to happen when men start preferring their digital accompaniments, I don't think you see how big of a problem this is. Most men are going for, prefer the digital, the digital accompaniment, the majority of men are going to go digital it'll, be a very, I think, the minority of manuals that will reproduce and that's going to happen within five years within five years, most men will not read

There's that's my that's my prediction, as in more than fifty percent will not reproduce, and the reason will be that women won't want to reproduce with them. They'll just say well I'll, just stick with and you stop ten percent tall guys with good hair. Good essay t scores. I dunno, I'm surprised anybody has natural babies anymore. I think that's going to go away. but so let me ask you: do you think that facebook is going to succeed with meta because remember, Zuckerberg doesn't make too many mistakes, especially when he's predicting what's going to be big next, and I completely agree with him that the experience you get when you put on the vr headset looks like it's the future.

I mean to me it absolutely looks like that's the future, but he said it would take years. You know, maybe they pump billions of dollars in it before it's even up to good enough. Maybe I mean facebook has the resources. They can just keep pumping resources in there, there's something happens. I think it might be more than a year away before it kicks kicks off. You think do you think is more than ten years off? Isn't it entirely based on how good the technologies and how fast the processor, that's all we're waiting for right there. I that plus applications. so the swedes are claiming a tweet on this, the swedes reclaiming that they know the russian the russians bombed their own pipeline, but

the kids. They can't tell you how they now so the king however, this how they now, but they totally now- and they know because of secret secret swedish ways, and they cannot reveal their secret swedish sources and methods, because if we found out how the swedes determine that there's been an underground explosion. Well, then, will you take, we're sweetest tricks and use them for ourselves. And then Sweden will no longer be the military superpower that has that they'd be giving up quite a lot with that secret. So it makes complete sense that the swedes can protect themselves from superpowers by not telling us how they know that the pipeline.

blew up thanks to russia. Now I dont know what kinds of sources and methods used, but I think I told you that John Brennan immediately accuse russia before we had facts, John bread and said: oh yes, certainly looks like a looks like some kind of russian operation, as the only thing that makes sense. That. I said to myself: well again, We can rule out russia because when John Brandon says russia did it only country you can rule out is russian let levy levy. Yet I don't usually give out my sources methods, but this time I'm gonna make an exception. Here's how I did

it was hard, but I saw who said it, and then I just assumed the truth was the opposite. if you tell me I'm wrong, I say well, it would be the first And I was ever wrong using the sources and these sources and methods, because they ve been pretty pretty accurate so far for the agri member. This is the same person who pushed russia collusion as obvious fact, and the laptop hunters laptop as russian disinformation. He said both of those on tv just like they were facts, and then this is the third thing he saying on tv, just like as a fact there's a reason that the news puts him on its cause. The other people want to say this stuff, apparently, is willing to say anything for, for whatever purpose.

So yes, big mystery who blew up that pipeline and I pulled out this question on twitter. I haven't seen an answer yet, but can anybody confirm that there's no life insurance company that offers a discount for being vaccinated? Can we confirm that? That's true, there's no insurance company that offers a discount for being vaccinated, because if that is true, it also means that the insurance industry has valued the shot at zero financially. Now, if you're, not a financial person, maybe that requires a little more explaining, but the the insurance company. Essentially

in the job of putting a dollar amount on anything, that's a big variable that would affect their their income stream, so they're all about figuring out the most objective. True unbiased, realistic number, because that's the only way they make money if they get the numbers wrong, you know their estimates of the future. They don't make money so that this is like life and death for an insurance company to get the numbers right and unless they are offering discounts for being vaccinated, they value that Israel now not exactly zero, because will be a transaction costs for including any new variable right, well, you're, pretty close them several million dollars to even be able to track.

A new variable that they wanted to track, but several million is basically zero if you're talking about a big insurance company, so it looks like that all think. It's a fact. Unless you tell me I'm wrong and we find out the danger and companies are in fact offering discos now to be fair. There are lots of things that insurance companies could offer discounts for, but don't so maybe this is just another one minute. Maybe maybe they think you should get a discount, but as long as they don't offer it, they can make more money. So there's another reason I mean there could be. Another reason could be just they make more money by pretending. They don't work there, they're not going to give a discount unless they have,

I do so it would require some other insurance company to offer the discount before anybody's going to go. Second, you get that right and and insurance companies are the ultimate confused appley. An insurance company is a confuse appley. It's a word. I quote And which is now only economic literature, and it means that when you're searching for life insurance or any kind of insurance, you dont know how to compare one company to the other because they're so different and complicated. You like well, this one has this advantage, but this one has this man's. I really can't help So the reason all insurance companies can sell their products as you can compare them, so basically selling insurance is just did the salesman talk to you and then you probably by whatever their cells, but so do

we couldn't tell the difference. So as long as insurance is a confused awfully, even if they believed the vaccinations were saving lives in a substantial way, they could just all agreed not to talk about it and they wouldn't have to like have a meeting yeah. The insurance executives would not have to be on a conference, call and say hey. If you don't mention this, I won't mention it. They all know not to do it. That's what the confused apple is no meeting required until somebody does it, they could all ignore it right. So that would be the other In that regard, cars, filthy, filthy industry, here's an update on the january six coup hoax.

calling january six a coup, a hoax, because it was a godless whatever it was right now. May I speak directly to the fucking stupid assholes, who are going to say, but Scott there were guns there can. I can. I do a mocking impression of those people for you who would like me to see a mocking I'm going to do a trump impression of the people saying that were in fact guns there. Ok I'll send up this way, and this is me talking. First, it was a gun less coup on january six, and now my critics over scott buzz.

It was there was that one gun. What about that? One gun, what about ashley bad, but what about the one girl? Alright, I just have to get that out of my Emily. I just had to get that out of my system and that's how you should respond everytime until somebody tells you but Scott there were guns there. Yes were there were guns all over the place order. I can't even take that seriously. I would like to give you the following: this is sort of a reminder, so the reminder I guess I could have done. The remainder is an analogies if somebody tries to argue with you by using an analogy. Here's how you should deal with it.

Well, I don't argue with analogies because those are just stories about a different situation, but if you'd like to get back to talking about our situation, I'd be happy to do that. Let me know when you'd like to do that, do not engage. In an analogy, analogy is literally a story about something else has nothing to do with you now an analogy can be in the following narrow way and you'll see me: do it as well. if the analogy is to explain the concept that someone new that's good, to explain the new concept What it never is is a convincing argument for anything. It's not an argument. The best they can do is explain your terms like. Oh here's how I defined this- or this is an effect that I think we should take into.

Consideration, that's all I can do it doesn't tell you right or wrong. If are using an analogy to tell you you're, right or wrong, you're really doing everything wrong. That would be a complete abdication of reason and facts and common sense, but it's the way most people think most people random waiting? I was waiting for that. What took you so long, I'm busy. You know that I I intentionally trigger the empty seized on you, but what are the emphases saying right now alright I'll ask you have run the locals platform, see if you can guess what's happening over on youtube, alright! Well, you can guess As a service to historians, though

wonder how a historians will treat this period cause, I don't If there has been another period where the public did not agree on what happened as that rapid before. Maybe maybe we agreed, but we were wrong in the past, but oh yeah, J f k lester. I guess we do have some examples, but even with J f k, there was an official story. If you were to check The history books there will be one version of the kennedy story and then you'll be reference to young people may be believed there were more people involved. A rack now at this point at this point, history agrees right, as of today, historians run the same page about iraq. There were no weapons of mass destruction except old ones, old chemical weapons, but

is that going to happen here. Do you think that ten years after today will we will all be on the same page about one january six once do you think that will happen? Because I don't I don't. I think this will be two versions of history that will just live forever. One of them will be that the coup is attempted, and the second war will be that, of course those was no coup. There's no such thing as a godless coup against the soup. power. So what do you do with that? Like I mean literally, I'm actually curious what what historians do with a buyer fabricated history where the public is quite sure there were two completely different things that happened: jenny you get hidden for bad behaviour. Don't do that again,

I do so here in europe as a history to historians, there were two real cool attempts. One failed in one succeeded. The russia collusion hoax was a coup attempt, is re body would argue that the russia collusion hoax was a coup attempt? Does anybody say that's not what would you say? That's inaccurate. I feel like a is just a statement of fact and that it was unsuccessful in the end, it was unsuccessful,

the hunter leaped up, disinformation, fifty currents and x and tell people was that a was that day coup attempt well here it gets into. The definition, is the coup attempt if you do something to change the outcome of an election and it's done by intelligence agents working secretly within the government now, if the if the hunter laptop hoax, and then run by the say, democratic operatives just a bunch of political people. Then I would say: that's just normal business. That's one side always lies. Actually both sides always lie so in politics people lie that's just business as normal, but what happens the liars. Are your actual intelligence agencies, the so called deep state?

That's not really just a lie anymore. Is it that's? Actually, somebody with the power to change who isn't in power and actually executing that power and there's a little closer to treason. I would say more hours gets lost in the definitions. It isn't, but I so I'd say the imaginary coup was the godless january six protest. So that would be three. You know two real coup attempts. One failed one succeeded and one imaginary one that will probably get written in history books.

It? What probably we will? Probably history will record that there was really a core attempt, which is amazing. Let me ask you something: what what do you think controls education in the united states? Go? Who controls education for the young under eighteen. Unions, teachers, unions, I'm gonna, say women as interesting answer to give you another hypothesis, you're ready this textbook manufacturers, textbook manufacturers, publishers.

here's why, if you're, if you're at a school, do you have a choice of buying any textbook? You want you do not, yet you have to buy the textbook, that's approved by your school. So there's somebody yourselves textbooks. Who makes a lot of money lot of might ad the schools have to use your one of these companies that sells all these textbooks you'd. All things that the textbook companies already on the schools of course, age, who, of course they do do you know how I know that the textbook companies on the schools is easy. It's twenty twenty two there would be no text book publishing companies they would all be gone because it would all be alive. Wouldn't it

What why in the world are their textbooks? There's no reason for textbooks our industry exists because they must control the teachers. Are they must control the schools? Is they didn't control the schools in aren't in vienna business there's no way they can stand business with that business, Here's another is another way, we're having a degree in economics and a business degree. Helps you see the world a more clearly clearly, the schools are captured by the textbooks companies. As soon as you heard it did you say yourself, oh shit, that's gotta, be true. Right. Tell me. Don't tell me as soon as you heard me say that you said. Oh, no, that's probably true. The it all comes down to this one question Why are there still text book publishing companies? Why didn't even exist.

You told me that all that information isn't already available for free on the internet in an organized form somewhere or couldn't be or couldn't be me. You don't think that a state or or the federal government could just say, hey we're, paying all this money for textbooks, but it's all sort of available for free. So why don't we just organize it on a you know, set of web web pages and the web pages or your textbook now, and nobody will have to pay for textbooks again. If you ever see the kids going back and forth to school, with their backpacks so having the cat carrier, do you know what's in their unnecessary textbooks that switzerland unnecessary textbooks and your money and drugs

usually earlier. So maybe it's the comic ghana being maybe something else, but I think that the schools are just owned by the textbook companies. It seems obvious to me although I realise until recently. One of the things I love about social media is a trending. Ter trending term could be countered so cat turd, one word: it was a individually. I was spoken. Social media, user and he's been allegedly bank of america. has declined their banking. I guess he's gonna partner, he does a broadcast, and

it's a bank of america allegedly shut them down and said with glee that they don't have to tell them why? How scary is that? Now? First of all, I don't believe the story. Let me say that first of all, this is still the fog of war version of the story. It doesn't feel real could be It could be, I wouldn't rule it out, but I'll tell you on the surface. It feels like something's missing. So I would say, put a pin and this one and just wait. Wait maybe two days see if anything new comes out, I feel, like the story wasn't complete, I am certainly willing to believe that financial institutions would be moving against conservative voices that doesn't sound unusual at all. Unfortunately, but I feel like there's something else to be known about this.

The hunch, so here's a little story. I wonder how many of you are aware of this, and I guess I did a fact check on this one too. But are you aware that Biden just did some kind of sanction on trying That made all of the this is my understanding of it might be wrong that made all of the imf. European employees of chinese companies have to either quit. Where there were

or lose citizenship in the united states is out real. Did Biden really tell americans that they would lose citizenship citizenship? Is they worked for a chinese company? I saw it. I saw a threat are now that I tweeted again this one doesn't feel real. Does it doesn't feel real good day? What do you think? Maybe I can anybody can from them? because, if is real, the implication is that it will cripple the chinese chip making business to the point where I would collapse, because apparently these employees were key employees or something none of that feels real than me.

I can't believe that china would be depending on that many american employees or leaders yeah. The semiconductor heads are having to leave, but when the boss leaves how much of a problem is that really? When was the last time a company had a problem because the boss left, Maybe a key employee, so I would say I would wait on this this one because it's not a front page story and it would be if it were real. So I think you poor little was scepticism on the story. Then wait a little bit. Ok,. Thomas messy is introducing some legislation. The sounds like it's pretty good. Did you know there are basically for entities that own most. The meat processing united states just for entities, You know that one of the four is a chinese company and the other one is brazilian. So therefore

these own, all meat processing, one is a brazilian company and one is a chinese company. Ok, so thomas mercies legislation would be issues bipartisan, so good for him on that. And it would empower small farmers and local decentralized meat processors. So there must be something that makes it impractical or illegal for small people, They meet processors. Now I assume that the intention was always for safety. Maybe maybe that's just that. That might be a generous assumption, but it does seem that food security requires us to diversify, Food security requires us to diversify, so I would say I I hope this will just sales re through

because, if we are arguing the politics of this one, everybody agree. There's no politics this one can. Can anyone explain to me how vaccinations every became politically left and right or basques. how did any of that become left or right? Here's your eyes, I couldn't go the other way right. There is a world in which the opinions of the left and right could avenger switched and. You think we're gonna just normally. I mean it would be easy to imagine that the conservatives are the one who said you must wear a basque. I can imagine that I can imagine it. Additionally, it is easy to imagine that the conservatives will be the ones to say: hey menace. Says this is okay, so go get your shots.

But as soon as you know, there are probably there were just some. You know, opinion leaders of each side that got things going and then it just sort of turned into this team sport. Now I've told you that I finally deduced the real problem here. I'll say it again that social media causes you two game of high politics and let me say. More about that in the old days before social media, which is red the news and now I think about it. Usually I wouldn't even talk any more about it. I've just had read it, never think about it and I was it, but when he had social media,

Not only does it add all this energy good and bad and fake news and everything else, but the more important thing it does is it gives you points and that's that's where everything goes off the rails. What I play when I'm on twitter, I'm playing it like a game and I'm aware of it I'm aware of it does I think this might be more for the larger accounts you have. The smaller accounts are still just following stuff, but as a blue check account and even try to get to become a blue check, I play it for points now. I shouldn't admit. Estate, your chalet- because this is not a good look- is it I mean it doesn't make me look good, but I have to be honest. You know when I actually like examined my motivations and

I watched myself and then I took a little bit of distances at all right if I were looking at me the outside? What would be my external opinion of me and my external lebanese me would be very clear, I'm playing for points now in my case, twitter is part of my business, so that that's my rationalization is. It is convenient how convenient that I have a perfectly good sounding rationalization for the thing that addicted me. Oh, how how convenient anybody knows that coincidence that I happened to be addicted, but by coincidence, it's always my job. So I guess there's a good reason in my case right. So that's me mocking myself as a third party observer. If I were a third,

party observer looking at me claiming that the reason I use twitter is because, as for my job, I would laugh at that. I would laugh at that idiot yeah, right yeah, all of that dopamine you're, getting every time you the in, and you see a retreats all that dopamine. That's nothing you're doing her cold hard economic reasons. Aren't you scot, I would laugh at myself. It is an addiction and I play it like a game now. What's what is the obvious outcome of playing something like a game? There's a second thing that happens: you soared into teams.

it's automatically now, I'm going to say something very sexist you ready for this. Twitter is for boys, that's the most sexist thing. You'll ever hear me say: twitter is for boys, a sexist, would say it's too late for that. I'm trying to Greg devils a defensive move, but now obviously there earlier lots and lots of women who use twitter. But Twitter is eighty percent male. Can somebody get me a fact check on that committee gimme, a quick fact check on twitter composition, seventy percent now eighty percent. What would you say my followers or ninety five? but now and then, if you go into politics in particular, what's the ratio and yeah? If you go to politics in particular, is probably extra high is at least seventy five percent?

So, whoever whoever is the seventy five percent is gonna, be the the primary thing. So, in my opinion, twitter is game of eid because it gives you points and mostly male and what happens when mostly men get into a situation where there's going to be a game? What's the first thing we do man. What's the first thing you do if you're going to have a game you meet in the park and it's a bunch of guys and you're going to have a game. You pick sides you pick, teams is automatic. Boys are trained from birth. That you're going to

at the game and first you're going to pick teams. So you throw me into twitter and I recognize it as a game. I start playing the game. Do you think that my all of my training makes me go to a team? Yes, it does. Yes, it does I'm the least, probably team bias person. I know like I Didn'T- join joiner, fraternity, enjoying sports teams in college. I play but I'm generally not a joiner. I don't like to join your team. I want to be in your club, but have I not joined to have I not I'm clearly on the conservative I'm just not a conservative, but even I even I m drawn onto a team, do you know why among the states.

Hmm, let me ask you: do you know why I am on this team and I am on this team there's no doubt about it. Honestly is because of the way I was treated it's the way. I was treated that said that there were some conservatives and I'm not going to name names, but especially some notable blue checkers who treated me with respect. Does it and I just said well I'd rather be where they at least respect, even when they disagree, and so I found that conservatives. Can be really ugly. It's not like. I haven't blocked a lot of conservatives, but there is a difference. There is a difference. I do think that if I, if I equipped myself

Well then, if I make my case- and I will say a patriot friendly way- and I respect for the other side, the kids, Others are more likely to respect me while disagreeing than the left is now could be wrong about that. I could be wrong about that, but that's that's my anecdotal, except is it the right will allow it left will now The other thing you see is how how easily the right and accepts the people that are supposed to accept. You know what I mean if you're a black candidate for senate or something and you're republican, will the republicans accept you? Yes,

totally yeah. If you're, you know you don't. I haven't seen yet is a lesbian conservative running for high office, as that happened yet a lesbian conservative for high office, because because my guess is that republicans, would I see your funny answers are likely to respond to them talk to us,

It was fla that was the funniest one. Dr oz is the first lesbian running for high office, I'm not even sure who that's supposed to be insulting. If that was supposed to be insulting the lesbians, then I apologize because I didn't mean that there's just something funny about that comment, I'm not even sure what it is. Alright, so stop stop naming people, that's not funny anymore. It's a little bit funny to stop doing it. In my opinion, a non binary could run for office as office republican would be fully accepted. What do you say if a non binary ran for offices,

publican. Would they be fully accepted as long as they were? You know they liked the constitution and the republican side yeah they wouldn't be. They would be now it would. Would the conservatives make very inappropriate comments about said person? Oh yeah, yeah, don't get me wrong. People are people, people are people, but that would completely except somebody was on on their team. so elon musk

apparently is going to turn off or not turn on part of starling, because he's asked the government to pay for it. I guess he's pull over eighty million dollars into supporting ukraine just through starlike. Add that ukraine, of course, was mad at him for suggesting that they talk peace. Before they had gotten back all the territory. They think they should go back, and so they told him to go off himself and then elon musk is basically not gonna, give them starlike unless the government pays for it and when he was questioned about that, he said well, we're just taken your recommendation.

now? What do you think is elon musk? First of all, we don't know if he wouldn't have acted the same anyway, because he put eighty million into it without getting reimbursed. So now he's asking the government to pay for it when they're you know they're putting out billions, so it doesn't seem money and seems like a perfectly reasonable request right, asking the government to pay the pay. The bill. Is a perfectly reasonable request now? Is it reasonable for him to not turn it on all these waiting for the answer? What do you think is reasonable they doesn't turn it on waiting waiting to get paid. I get I'm watching your comments, yeses those allows going to say yes,

Going to say yes, but here's the weird thing: ukraine just opened up a second war, they just declared war on elon musk, and I think they think that that would be the easy one compared to russia. What do you think? I? I think he will. The busca could crash you create if you wanted to, I mean I dunno exactly how, but I feel like he could. I feel like I feel like if he wanted to take down the whole country of ukraine. He could just stop them if he wanted to me and it would be five, but I don't think they know how dangerous he could be now. I don't think you set personalities, I don't think he's dangerous and all, but.

Imagine the smartest richest person in the world being mad at you. I mean I feel like he could do some damage. If we wanted to. I don't think they should start a fight with elon musk that feels like and keep in mind he's going on twitter. If, if you are ukraine and you're dependent entirely on public public approval and the united states for your survival, would you want to start a fight with a guy who's going to own twitter, which is the opinion whereas the united states, I dunno. I think ukraine played this wrong. I think the right way to play it was to be thanking him harder than they were condemning him. They could still condemn his his move. but maybe do a little more respectful about, show little respect for the fact that he is saving your asses.

Oh yeah, I think a little respect will go a long way and I don't think he got it a zoo or disruptor against the fed. I dunno what that means. Alright, Oh, we found a link to the usa banning usa son. I connect exports from the commerce semi conductor exports would that cause americans in china have to quit or losers citizenship. I guess we still have questions about that. Ukraine, verses albania,.

Alright, well, here's the most interesting thing about the elon musk thing: musk could actually force ukraine and russia into talking peace, but I don't know if that's a good idea- and I don't know if he should push that, because if they talk peace before they're both ready- and I assure you that you get anything out of that- I think I think we have to wait until our toes are over the abyss. I think we have to be on the verge within minutes of a nuclear holocaust, and then maybe

People will talk productively, but we're not there yet. So any talk of peace talks or anything like that. Don't make sense because nobody's going to talk until you're on the verge, so we have to get there. So the reason I'm telling you this so that when we do get there and we will don't think that's the end of the world- that's the point we had to pass through to get to anything right so so that that part of the journey was going to be common to both good and bad outcomes. So it doesn't tell you anything. It was always going to happen so when it happens, there's nothing you can do about it, but I mean it's not like you should hide under your bed as I can help.

but all don't normal sleep over it does in all likelihood it doesn't mean anything in the. In the end they probably worked as linsky refuses to negotiate. Now. Here's here's the interesting thing I was thinking about Putin. Imagine your putin! Don't You believe that every single member of your will say inner circle has at least calculated how much money they can make by killing you if they can get away with it. Don't you think, because, no matter how loyal you are, you have to know that his he, he has probably a thirty percent chance of not being an office of the year or two, which means you're in trouble too, because you're a you know his close circle. So

door is closed circle. You would have to at least consider selling them out, so you could survive. You'd have to think about it. I got it must be hard to look at the faces of all of his generals and stuff cause. You know that those generals know that all they have to do is get a message to the: u s embassy or at the embassy really and say. If I take this guy out, you know, will you protect me and a few of them that get together and then they take about? Because now here's the thing that a lot of people wisely said to me there's

I think I have more than the people who are operated from the old wisdom that I guess that's the name for old wisdom years old wisdom be careful about wanting Putin to be a god, because who replaces him could be worse. What do you say to that? Here's what I say to him when I was twenty five that was very. That was a good argument when I was twenty five, because I thought that was such a thing as irreplaceable people that if you lose that key employee, the company will fail. If this one person, who is the president doesn't get elected, everything will go to heck and then it never happens.

Anyway, so if I were, if I were Putin, I'd be pretty concerned about my generals wanting to cut a deal to take over russia themselves cause, don't you think, there's at least one person's inner circle who thinks either if we were not here, the logical replacement would be me, you don't think there's one person like the rest of it.

Anyway. So here's what I know at my current age, I didn't know at twenty five. You can't predict anything about what happens when somebody leaves you think he care, but it's really unpredictable, and I would bet that whatever holds russia together is different from whatever held, let's say iraq together, but I think that russia has probably enough bureaucracy. There's something like stability would happen. And that the next leader would want to not make the same mistake as Putin. Now, putin can't really just say oops. I was wrong correct, so Putin is in a corner because he can't say oops. I was wrong about everything But anybody who killed boon- let's say a coup attempt in russia, the curtain person could say: I killed him because he did everything wrong and then you have options.

Putin did everything wrong, so I'm the new leader, so I say we're not going to fight with ukraine and you can have your four regions back or something they wouldn't do that, but something like that or or at the very least he could make a peace deal, because it's not it's not as if the russian public is opposed to peace, so a new leader could satisfy the russian public by just saying it. Opponents, salt is a good thing. I got rid of that guy

It might take a little while it might be like a little vacuum as the top three or four people battle to see who takes over, but I think that would get solved by violence. In other words, the top three or four people would create a slaughter fest and one of them would come out ahead and that would be the new head of russia. Alright, there's a new report. Well that the I don't want to think about their so senator li l E, a h. Why lay size senator leave lie Lee way. Thus, editors writing a memoir or rwanda and in their member he talks about being jogging.

During the iraq run up to that war, when we are trying to decide if Iraq had wmds two shadow. We people who looked like they were probably in the fbi, rental agencies or something does. I may add that look. You know that I'm in the fbi, I run in the cia look and they were jogging in the park and they just happened to be jogging when the centre was there and they they stopped him, and they asked him what he thought about this wmd stuff, and then they told him that he should ask for a particular secret file, a specific secret file that he'd never did

system, so it goes into the skiff. Were all the secret files already asked for the secret file by name and the secret file contradicts what the government was saying about wmds rack and so he's taken holy shit. First of all, who were these joggers never found now and second of all, how do they know about this file? A third of all? Why doesn't everybody knows about this vile and then I guess later the two joggers jog by again and pointed to a second file,

Which he also found and also contradicted the official government story, and so then he waited to tell the public. In his memoirs, he waited to write his memoir to tell us that the intelligence agencies knew the wmd were not in Iraq. He waited to put it in his memoir. Do you know what's wrong with that? Everything everything everything do you don't think that lady should have maybe mentioned to his colleagues: hey, there's another file. You ought to look through there's something wrong with this story. Am I right

this story doesn't completely. Hang together. Does it. Why would you wait for your memoirs to tell us that story? I dunno I dunno not buying it. You remember the two thousand mules claims that indonesia, those called mules were delivering a bunch of ballot, illegally, allegedly to ballot boxes and twenty twenty. But when asked for detailed information to support these claims, the I guess it's they who are they. True the vote as the organization. They continue to Tell the attorney general's a yes, yes, will

will will give you that detailed backup information that supports our claim and then they don't and then they ask again and then they don't, and it turns out that there is no data that true the vote is willing to release. That would back up their claim. So anybody who still thinks that the two thousand mules thing is going to be the. The crack of doesn't look like it doesn't look like it and so that there are some trouble, think true, the voters, trouble, so they either need to produce some data or explain why there raising money on these claims possess the thing they raised a lot of money and the claims and the claims depend entirely

they upon. We have data, we ve seen it and trust us. The state is there, but when asked to, provided they just keep saying they will and they don't. I dont trust that all do. I don't trust that at all. Alright, there's a story: pull factor was treating this round that there is a potential, fifty million dollar contract that allows a purer firm, a pr for to be embedded at this. The cdc as part of the division of the. It just sort of wrapped into the cdc, and I saw somebody on twitter saying it might be the same pr people that were working for the big pharma companies that the vaccinations? What do you think of that? Is that a scandal,

They ask somebody to help them manage their messaging people, people it's time for me to give you another dilber lesson How big companies work is a your belief that if they did not hire a pr firm

The city you see itself would not be spending. Anything is a year, believes that if no pr firmware involve you would get the truth from the city say is a year believe that is the pr affirm that would cause us to see things in a skilled way, not be straightforward statements from the cdc. If you think that adding a pr agency to the city sees own management, communication is going to make it less reliable. I don't know how you come to that conclusion. You're talking about it, a group that desperately I needed professional help desperately nobody needed it more than the cdc. Now I don't know anything about this pr firm, but it must be a big one or it wouldn't be looking at a fifty million dollar contract right. So this is a big piece

if are tell you some little blow your fucking mind now, you're ready. The only honesty that will come to the city c is from the pr for you have this all backwards. If you think that the pr firm is gonna bring dishonesty to the city, see you haven't been paying attention, the dishonesty is coming from the fucking. You see. The pr fit agency is now going to sign onto that. You're not gonna, get a peerage and see that lie. They all lie. They won't do. You know why it's not good for them, Yeah, I don't want to be the ones who got call line. They want to be the ones who got caught, telling a really good story. A really good narrative.

now will they be better, is spinning the narrative than the cdc? Probably that's why they IRA, as all point that they can spend the narrative better, but in my opinion, based on my experience, the pierre agency would increase the credibility of the city's messaging part of it is that the city sea would say inconsistent things. The peerage and see is less likely to do that because they would control or messaging, and they say now lesson consistent. Gotta do this right or you have to apologise and correct. The peerage ensued, help them do that. so do not automatically assume the hiring a p

or agency and even bringing them into the staff, basically they'd, be just like staff, don't assume that makes them less reliable it most likely will make them more reliable because it'll be one or the other set of eyes that have different incentives. They don't the pr agency doesn't have the incentive to lie. They have an incentive to do a good job. That's why I her scott big format cdc. Is there a difference? Water? Nor your point is. you worry that it will be harder to spot the bs. I wouldn't worry about that either, because one of the things that pr does is it makes it obvious what the pr is. When you watch a commercial, you don't have any question about whether they're selling you something right or that they're spending it in the most positive way, because they broadcast that that that's something that the pr

People can do effortlessly they. They can signal that as pr at the same time, they're doing as the works. As long as they're not lying there. Fine, Well, all capital letters, you have this all wrong and capital letters usual words. You can do it. You sure What do I ever are sentences, so gay. Now be a little bit. Devils advocate hear you. I hope you detective that. Could it be? The irish pierre agency makes everything worse. Oh yeah sure you can get like a bad, be our agency this Corrupt and are willing to lie here. You can get all that this is not automatic. If you're,

fanatic, oh yeah. You know this clearly leads to this. Is it a pr agency leads to more bullshit? It's not that obvious cause they're, just replacing a different source of bullshit that is poorly made, so it's probably just better quality bullshit all right. What else is happening? That's about it. Did I miss any big stories. Tom Brady is going big for pickleball whoops lost my connection there. For a moment. I think I'm back.

the the lesions all right, then cinco de cinco was the who was, he was done, shankar the steele dossier guy, oh pelosi, the alright, so Pelosi's daughter You should now is a famous document darien, so she is famous for making documents and apparently she was there. On january, six, following as replacing around where report say, policy was acting.

Very literally and take charge and stuff like that. Now that probably had something to do with the fact that she was on camera. Do you think everybody acted the same on carers? They would have Privately, so allow is interesting, but it also suggests that policy might have had some idea that the events of the day would need to be document.

And so it almost looks like the january six coup attempt was a long planned thing as were listening. I keep hearing things downstairs, which would be unfortunate because there shouldn't be any building downstairs. So if I'm having house invasion or maybe alright, was there anything else I forgot, I think I covered it all darren, bts taiwan proposal. That's no, that's crazy. I just mentioned this so there's a proposal.

just by a twitter user suggesting that china does a bunch of stuff for us and in return they get taiwan, to which I say we go out. Taiwan answers that ours to give away. This is like the worst idea of a word, but what do I know? Why do I keep seeing Michael endeavour? Stuff, Michael and l? Promoted is pillows in front for rectal, don't they need pillows? So do you remember when the remember when I had a start up and there was a figure which disasters are again or something

I I sat on social media. Oh, this is a perfect use for my company's app and then the internet. As one puked on me and said, you can't use a disaster to suggest the people use a product that was made for a disaster that actually happened to me. Yeah don't be using this disaster to promote a product that is ideally suited for a disaster. And would be useful for the all the people involved. There is no way you can do that, and so I actually withdrew the tweet and decided people were not mood, for I did not read the room correctly and then he learn mosque promoted, starling based on the war in ukraine, and what did people say they people say my god. Why are you promote

your product? This is a war, no, they said well. That would be really useful, so we should use that what was the difference? What was the difference? We both promoted a product that would have a specific use in this specific. You know tragic situation that was free mine was, I was basically free. It was free. It was free for the at the producers'. He gave them away, but he's charging for it now. He gave them away as a promotion, but now he's charging for it, because now the the giveaway work, the promotional giveaway, showed that it was valuable and now he wants to charge work yeah. I think that all of the

Who believes that commercial enterprises are a key? I say it just depends if there's a customer, if there's a customer who wants it and they haven't heard about it, are you doing as informing somebody of something they want. I have never really understood the the disgust with ordinary business practices of telling somebody that something will be useful in this specific situation, When, whenever there's an earthquake in california, there's all buncher commercials come on tv about earthquake preparation gets completely. Take you

image of the disaster. Do you know what I say when I see those commercials? Oh, I should get one of those, I'm glad that they told me about that. Does somebody have a different reaction, so I think the reactions of me had as much to do with my personality is as that to do with the idea. I think there are certain personalities they can't get away with certain things, and that was a good example. Yeah capitalism is about taking advantage of circumstances, but not people right, I wasn't taking advantage of people was. I nobody even accused me of that. Nobody accused me of taking advantage of a human, only only a situation. Just think about that that that I was just trashed for taking advantage of a situation, but not any people there. There was no no assumption that any people were disadvantaged in any way. It was just a situation yeah, oh well, the envious dislike capitalism. Alright, I think I'm done cause.

There's nothing else to talk about. Did I get everything I mean everything covered? Did I miss anything? We did everything from pickleball to Nancy Pelosi and all of our hoaxes. I got it all, except that by the way I've decided how to how to design my perfect town, you ready for this, the perfect town, whatever up a central park, because it's the central part that matters so that everybody's kind of not too far from the park, then the park would be the bicycle hub for the rest of the town. So you'd have a bike. Only pass would include e bikes and scooters and stuff, but you'd have like a bike path that connects a central park and then from the central park. If there are multiple school systems, each of the school is a hub, so there's at least one pasta every school and then one path out and the idea would be that you could ride bikes for at least all the good weather days and reduce traffic. That would be. That would be my idea, like the villages so yeah. I imagine that's I'd love to look into that, a little more because that was a designed community yeah. We we talked about the the Van gogh. Sunflowers

It's funny that attack was covered with glass, so the tomato soup they threw on the Van gogh didn't make any difference because it was just on the glass alright. So I do want to build my perfect town. One of these days. That's still on my list, my bucket list I'll stay around until I do that, I guess. Oh, you have a central park in Europe's development. Here I I've met more of my neighbors walking my dog in my little love park. Your by then I have any other way, so

having a little a dog park or something in the middle. Really mixed up dogs really help help you meet people. That is alright. I do not look at disney's history building what fortress problem whereby startup no longer exists, so you don't need to know about that. Alright, that's all for now, and I will talk to you tomorrow,.
