Bob among good morning everybody. I welcome,
the highlight of human civilization. If you'd like to take this action,
up the levels that nobody can. Even imagine well today only I'd like to read the simultaneous up in old time, radio voice,
I already old time. Radio voice, oh you mean
copper mug organise a dagger gels outside a candy jumbo last
a vessel above a guide, fellow
your favorite liquid are like coffee. That's old, timey radio
and jeremy now for the unparalleled pleasure or the dopamine hit of the day. The thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip and while your days already looking up, go, oh so so amazing
Was it good? Well, I know you're here to hear about the debate last night and we will definitely get to that, but we need some palate cleansers first. This would be news. That's not terribly important, but it might be fun.
For example, the lapd deployed a robot dog durio, stand off with a purpose was on a bus. The fun part about the story is that the perpetrators on a bus? He must have
and the police are trying to get him off, but you won't get off
see the little robot dog doo doo, doo, doo, doo, doo doo, and by the way, that's that's what the dog harms to itself. I think we don't hear it out loud, but I feel like the dog when it's walking the robot dog is going. Something like do do do do two cars, robot dogs. They don't care about much they're, just happy all the time do to do anyway. The robot
I just goes walks over and walks up the stairs of the bus and as soon as the robot dog is on the bus, the perpetrators like I'm out now I did not care on robot dog.
I had everything worked out in my mind, shoot out
not count on robot dog, so robot dog appears to be a good strategy for the police. One big success so far.
Yeah- and it makes me want to get a robot dog, maybe maybe my dog snickers could have a little frightened little robot dog, because the robot dog will be just exactly the right thing for suck for home defense gun can imagine you know if you have a two story house, as I do and you're out, you're upstairs in bed and then there's an intruder but downstairs there's a robot dog who immediately spots the intruder and challenges that and rings your phone up into your bedroom who, who would stay around and if they ran into a robot?
fuck lama seriously, if you're a robber and you come into a house and a robot dog comes up to you, you're going to leave really fast. I mean a real dog will make people leave, but a robot dog would scare the shit out of me. I would be out of there so fast.
Well, I asked a funny question on twitter. They should go. Take a look at the comments. I said
If you men, everyone conned into reveal your feelings and vulnerabilities to a romantic partner. If so, at what age? You did
willard, it was the world's second worst advice. You know the first worst advice being be yourself and the third worst advice was follow your passion, but right there at number. Two is showing your feelings to your romantic partner. If you're a man and oh my god, you have to read the number of men who believe they destroyed relationships simply by being honest and the other man was like nope, we learn. We learned that trick. You know, and I have to admit, as a young man, I thought there might be a positive too
my feelings- and now I just was funny it's like. I had no idea what even a woman was
I was so unprepared. So if there's anything, I can tell the young people watching this door.
Reveal your inner vulnerabilities and your feelings to your romantic partner unless you want it to end immediately that the the comments of men who said- and I watched the love like disappear from her eyes. Alright, so that's your advice of the day. Do not
reveal your feelings. If your man hairs some good news, there is actually a pill. That's a lung cancer curing bill. There's, like amazing results,
I guess it'll test it: should it reduce the five year risk of recurrent cancer by up to seventy three percent, so that these are people who had their cancer treated and it was a seventy three per cent reduction in it. Coming back, wow, wow and up to the risk of death was reduced by fifty one percent. There's a pill that reduced lung cancer.
Death by fifty percent holy cow. You know, there's there's a weird thing happening in the world right now, I'm going to important question here in all caps. Aren't you going to rub european over a vague will? Yes, I will I will. I will be thanks for asking I'm glad. I interrupted this for that. But anyway, one of the things that happening
I think is. You know how it's always the darkest before the dawn. Does it feel? Do you like everything's going wrong, but at the same time, if you
Look forward one year, the most likely outcome one year from now. Doesn't everything look good? Is it weird literally everything looks bad at the moment, just everything on it:
Well everything was bad, but one year for now, if you didn't do anything different, if all you did is straight line one year from now a lotta things would look a lot better. We'll talk about some of them
but this is what I mean here, we're all
yeah we're all in in our day and sciences out there curing lung cancer are one of the one of the biggest scourges of human existence. We just took a big bite out of that I say we like
some to do with it has even crowd or says that the whistle blower and that national manifesto,
has not been identified, and these seven police officers who were suspended are not the whistleblower. So apparently, not only has that manifesto not been released, which was sketchy but great,
ground or somehow got a copy of part of the boat. Apparently, the national pity is punishing the wrong people for so national beady ass of explaining to do but interesting, they crowded says they didn't get the right person.
Here's a maybe good news- maybe not love it anyway.
So mitt romney who's, not gonna, be running for real action and Joe mansion, famously sometimes crosses over from democratic republic and leaning
always got together and they want to propose a fiscal commission to rein in the national debt. Now, remember, I told you everything's bad at the moment,
but almost everything looks better. There would be a good
to have a national debt commission probably
I mean it's better than doing nothing, you I can guarantee that they will produce something that would be a benefit. Probably they run into the same problems. Everybody would. But it's not nothing.
I have to give you some attention to mere rummy he's, not
for reelection, but he wants to take on the heart this problem in the country. The debt problems are
this problem now you know what I would love for somebody somebody to work on the debt problem, somebody who doesn't need to get reelected to somebody who is a financial, brilliant guy. That's
Mitt Romney is, and somebody that you can't tell is a republican or democrat. Sometimes you know they call him a rhino. So here's what I love about this. This is sort of a shout out.
Two mormons, I really love the mormon culture. I really think honestly
that? Mitt Romney only wants to do this because it's the right thing to do like I don't I don't see a play. Do you? Does he make money off of this? No way. Does he get reelected he's not running? It's kind of a brilliant play, so you know maybe it's like a long term play the run for president or something. But I don't think so because if you're, if you're working on debt reduction, you're making half of the country a year.
that's and that's not going to change so I am in mansion. Yo shows his value to the country again, just by being willing to not be always a team player very valuable, very smart,
so I love everything about that now. If I had to guess I dont think you will produce a result
that's even more, that's even more admirable somebody taking on something that looks almost like a suicide mission still willing to do it. Gimme gimme. More of that. I I like the attitude more than I liked the potential for a solution. Do you do you know what the right solution is? Every budget cut two percent a year? That's it
Do you think that wouldn't work our work? It would work because you'd have an entire year to save two percent. Everybody can do that.
Then the next year you like. I can't do another two percent.
Well, you'd have a whole year to figure it out and do it you're going to have robots of ai and automation yeah, you do it if you've ever here's some experience for you. I used to be the the budget guy for a big bank and I would be the one who would tell them. You know what the budget was and how much it was going up. And
collect their little inputs and put them all together, and then I would show them to my boss and there would be a bottoms up budgeting process. Sure every manager would have to say forget about what I had last year. If I were to start from scratch and your reconstitute my group from scratch. This is what I would need so that that's good, that's what veg wants to do. He was a bottom up process where everybody justifies every part of their expense every year. You know you don't just get another ten percent, because you said you need it right, says: good! Fiscal discipline: do you know how that works in practice? I remember I'm endorsing vivek ramaswamy
and now I'm going to criticizes his idea just so just so. You think I have some independent thought. So the idea is a zero based budgeting. The aches idea, which is you, have to defend your budget every year in detail.
Now doesn't that sound like a good idea,
or two hey. I need ten percent more, but you know forget the details, much better. Here's how that works in practice cause I used to be my job at a big company. I would make the world well, it wasn't wasn't my orders, but the departments had to do zero based budgeting. They had to collect it up and give it to be, and then I had to take it to the boss. So I get all this zero based budgeting and I take it to the boss, whose final decision it is. What do you think he did? Do you think he looked at all of the arguments of all the departments in each of the projects and then figured out which one is justified in which one wasn't know how? How could he do? You think he knew enough?
about each other, every asset that was involved and every project. Now you know what he did I'll give you an impression of how he talked she. Okay, very good, very good, go back and tell everybody to cut their budgets by ten percent, and I said what he goes: yeah, that's how much money we're going to have so he cut everybody's budget by ten percent and I said well yeah. Let me explain: maybe you've forgotten that I went back and found you know cause them to work in detail to figure out what they needed and now this is the thing so cutting ten percent is irrational and then my boss said they could do it. Just tell them to go to ten percent, and I, like really sheepishly, go back to each of the department managers and, like he says, of ten per cent. What did every one of them say? Oh, my god, my god, there's no way I can cut a ten percent there's no way you go back and tell him that I just can't do it. I've already cut it twenty percent compared to what it should be. I mean I've already used fiscal discipline just to get it down to this. There is no way no way in any world that I can cut it ten percent, so I'd go back to the boss.
I say he says he can't do it. Just can't be done. Was the boss say calmly, yeah just have to do it, that's it so I went back and told them all to do it so yeah, it's not negotiable. Apparently, just got a ten percent, how many of them succeeded all of them all of the mean on average, all of them during the year? People would negotiate for a little more for a good reason or something like that. Basically yeah, they all got it done. Percent was one now that
soon has stayed with me forever anytime. You have a big, complicated budget about anything you can kind of ten percent.
having a two percent a year and then just keep going to present two percent. Two percent would be exactly the kind of discipline you'd want. So I, like the vague asking them to justify their budget, because that makes them goes through the process of understanding all of its parts, because even the person in charge of them
some budget doesn't always know all the parts, so if they have to really work on you know what is what isn't by the time the order comes down to cut the budget while they know all their parts and they've ranked them already. So it's it's not, as
or like damn it. I really wanted this new thing, but I can live another year with them, so
the vague is absolutely right that they should do the the bottoms up. But then, when they gets is top numbers you just have to cut it and that the work that will work- I don't know if this declaration will work, but the bank's plan would absolutely work
I saw doktor drew on Garfield's, show got filled exclamation and
we're talking about a mass hysteria in politics and cognitive, dissonance and stuff and listening to doctor, drew talk. Sort of just matter of factly about the mass hysteria that we think are politics. He talked to us embarrass somewhat matter of factly like it's obvious to all of us, and it is. I think that sam Harris is just descending into cognitive, dissonance, that was doctor juice craze, and it's really really obvious that he was descending into cognitive dissonance. I think everybody can see it.
but my only point about this- is that we ve got to the point where we're talking casually about the intersection between mental illness and political opinion, which I feel like is a step forward again. My larger theme that everything's
at the moment, but a year from now on that one is better and I think it's a mess,
your major step in our
you're standing of our environment and therefore ability to fix it, if you can have somebody who understands this world and medical professional of
Who can tell you yeah? This is not politics. How important is that to know what is politics and what has mental health? Its super important, I would argue its
among the most important things we have to get right. So simply the fact that somebody with a national reputation, medical backroom, can speak matter of factly about about the other persons, having probably psychological experience that is independent from many political opinion that we should treat it. That way, I feel like if we can learn to do that more accurately, jesse
that forward, for example modeling this idea, you you already know I've told you this- that a lot of the trolls that irish respond to now. I asked them if their drunk and you would be amazed how many people don't reply after that. Do you know why, because their drunk it s, actually you you think you're dealing with somebody's got to radically different idea from you, but quite often there just drugs and the number of times I can make the conversation stop dead. When I ask that question is really shocking, the other thing I do which doesn't stop the conversation, but at least stop said my aunt is, I say, I'm sorry they did this to you or sometimes I say, I'm sorry that your new sources have done this and from that point on after you stated that I'm sorry you're new source.
What did that do not engage in detail? Do not do don't try to you know, even if they make a good point. After that, don't don't engage once somebody has revealed that their problem is some kind of news, brainwashing problem. You should call that out until they're sick of hearing it. You want them to be tired of hearing that. I'm not going to debate you because it looks like something's going on there. It looks like you have an issue that maybe isn't about us. It looks like you have an issue with your news sources and, if you'd like, I could help you with your problem, but we're not at the point where we can debate, because what I know is everything you've heard on the news, plus everything I've heard in the news. What you know is just what you heard on the news she are operating at roughly half the information. I am so having a debate with you, especially when you seem to have some kind of psychological condition going on. How could that ever be productive? So you need to you need to label it for what it is and then bailout. Will you see it if it's just cognitive, dissonance or drunkenness, don't debate, just don't hey?

There's a story and says I mean, is fully we'd farms on by a chinese
more than a hundred properties and main oliver.
whether illicitly growing cannabis rural made, so
I'll be moving to rural main, because apparently that's good place to make money either? If you have a hundred illegal we'd plants.
Wait a minute: how does anybody know that are one hundred properties if they're illegal something wrong with this story shouldn't there be something like some law enforcement or something invaded they just don't prosecute or because they don't care. I dunno,
but apparently this is a big problem. I don't know if these are just opportunistic chinese americans who just thought this would be a good job and you know maybe they didn't have as many traditional opportunities in maine, so it could be just lotta people telling other people hey. I started a weed for forum. You should do it too, so maybe it's just that. I don't think it looks like a chinese plot. Do you accept that maybe some
is going back to china. So I dunno what to think about that. One, but it's interesting speaking of china, more chinese executives are disappearing, so two more
listed as go on for a while. It's in the context of a corruption clamp down. Do you think that's really was going on? Do you think the chinese executives from companies are disappearing because of a clip there?
one corruption to which I say maybe, but wouldn't it be just as likely that the corruption itself is clamping them down yeah, wouldn't it be just as likely that the presidency is putting pressure on them to do something the government wants, including
I came back money, maybe and they'll say if you don't give us what we want. We own the news and we're going to tell the news that we shut you down because you're, corrupt and there'll be a wait, a minute, I'm the opposite of corrupt. I know, but we need you to be corrupt, although you're saying, unless I act, corrupt you're, going to put me out of business and put me in jail for being corrupt, exactly that's what it feels like and we have no way of knowing I can't read minds. I don't have any secret sources, but I wouldn't take it on face value that corruption is the reason these people are disappearing, doesn't doesn't smell right. Does it.
like a little odor to that, like maybe yeah, maybe a spout corruption, but maybe it's not alright. Here's, my branding idea for republicans or maybe just a way to think about it.
I tell me if somebody has already said this, or did I already say it or were you already thinking it? Maybe your attitude to synthesis to brand democrats and republicans ready Democrats want the government to protect them and republicans want to protect citizens from the government. What do you think democrats want the government to protect them which, by the way, there's nothing wrong with that? And republicans want to protect
from the government which, by the way, there's nothing wrong with it. So what I like about it is that it doesn't say otherwise national right, usually usually lasorda built and any political framework.
What's wrong with democrats wanting the government to protect them? Nothing at all, nothing wrong with that! What's wrong with republicans wanting to protect, protect you from your government, nothing there's nothing wrong with that. So those are just
Different approaches now does it make sense to you that Democrats would have
of single women in the ranks of Democrats? Want to government to protect them makes perfect sense, because some people will feel they need protection.
Other people were well armed and living in the country and making their own money just want. Don't want the government to take their ship, so you can both be right.
So there might be a way there might be a way to find some unity.
Simply understanding that both sides are right about the single most important thing they're trying to do if you let both sides do the thing there most that their focused on you might actually find something that works, because you do need somebody to protect you from the government, but sometimes you need the government to protect you from other things. Those can both be too so I put that out. There is a symbol that things do not hopeless.
There might be some good stuff on both sides, the and devils and the details, so the department of health. In the end, we will talk about the talk about the debate and the department of health and even human services.
They ve got a new pronouns mangi saying basically it's ok. If you inadvertently use wrong pronoun, you nobody's gonna get fired.
That? But if you consistently use around pronoun, they would can be considered a sort of hate situation and you could get fired. Work were punished for that,
now. My only take on this is that this is what I call word thinking. The whole pronoun situation is worth thinking worth. Thinking is when you try to replace reason and fax and logic with a definition, because if you can guess somebody to accept your definition, then it feels like you one all the argument that never happened.
So if somebody could say, but I'm a woman, then they when all the argument about, can they play on this board, what bathroom to the use of what it was on their drivers. Licence is era right,
if you give them, I can use my word anyway. I want and different than how you use words.
It gets them to win automatically all the argument which you've not even had so that's called a word. That is where you're trying to get there without the benefit of argument, so the pronoun stuff is just that now most of you already know, I'm actually in favor of calling anybody whatever.
I feel comfortable with, like I don't have a problem with that. It's just that you'd better, not have a problem with me. If I do a rock show I'll humor people, I will humor you
If, for the same reason that I would, I would honor your request to be called a ms or mrs or miss or whatever you wanted, am anything you want it to be. It's just part of the.
Constellation of good manners- and I also am often asked why should we refer to you as I used to say cartoonist and then I said author now I like to say disgraced cartoonist. So when I'm introduced, I like people to just say disgraced cartoonist. I just like how it feels honestly.
A pirate situation, anyways was worth thinking, don't get caught up on, allowing it to be an argument is not arguing:
Most of you have seen by now for our social media, the medium level store. I guess that us
only seven year old man who shall some activists were blocking the road of traffic. Now.
It's a seventy seven year old guys looks like he's american american right, but he's living there
is a lawyer and was professor and.
He just said I m done and when
the activists were blocking the traffic, for it looks like miles the angry bearded white guy comes out with his hand, gun and starts turned loose, but there is one big rock that was hard to move and then yes, sort of emails surrounded by the not surrounded too closely.
we're talking to them. In a little group, and one of them is jabbering jabbering and that apparently the guy could see that they were going to continue blocking the road, so he just shoots two people to death in cold blood to unblock the road. Now I have very conflicting feelings about this story. Number one. I don't think those people deserve deserve to die and I think they were called climate activists, but I think they weren't. Actually, I saw some reporting that said it had more to do with some economic ownership of something. So it was. It was a bigger issue, not not the environment, but in either case they blocked the traffic of people who were minding their own business and try and just trying to get somewhere just trying to get to work at home and unfortunately, the guy with the gun. Has this look about him like a white guy who's just had too much, he just reaches limit and decided fuck it. I'm just gonna go out on my own terms. Now. The real story here is probably completely different than what we imagined from the outside. It could be mental illness. It could be as a terminal disease he's going to be dead in a month. I mean there there's all kinds of stuff that could be factors that we don't know about, could be mental health threat, just mental health, but what it looks like and it immediately became a meme is that he had simply reached his limit and snapped now. If there's one thing, I can tell you about my weight
and by the way he is identified as a white guy and american. Is that true, you can be a fact checker that he's not panamanian as he is. He born in america, standard white guy, so big guy with a big white beard and his lawyer, so he knew exactly what he was doing. Somebody says he is born in panama, a lawyer with dual citizenship. People are telling me, okay, that sounds about right lawyer with dual citizenship
but let me tell you something about white men and in the comments I want my white man to tell me if this is a true statement or not a true statement, if you're a white man, especially in america and somebody says, hey in order to avoid trouble, you're going to have to eat the shit you're like what I'm not eating any shit yeah to avoid trouble
Much trouble a lot of trouble. Jobs will be a lot of trouble. I don't eat a little bit of shit.
but I'm only going to eat a little bit. Alright, we have a deal a little bit of shit next day, little bit more dammit, dammit, alright I'll eat it next day a little bit more here's. Why
you way, people don't do is let you know all along the way how bad it is getting,
did. I mention that white people are white. Man is probably all men, but white men for sure are taught not to reveal their feelings yeah. So here's the thing- and I think the thing that this guy tapped into where the audience is that he's the-
he's the warning and the warning goes like this? You are not going to see a common, so that's what happened? The activists, the tube
we're shot. They were standing there having the conversation, they didn't see a common. What do you don't see coming is where the last straw is,
so I say this not as a threat. This is not a threat. This is very much not a threat. It's something you need to understand. If you push black americans, they will tell you from the first push. Am I right is that a fair statement if you're pushing black americans the the first nudge you're going to hear about it, which is fine that that would be perfectly good form to complain the moment there's something to complain about it's america right way. People have been taught to shut the fuck up and stay. This stay shut the fuck up because it looks weak, it looks non politically. It looks you're politically incorrect. It just looks wrong in every way and you can't win the white men. Complaining is the lowest look you can have do you know why I'm? Why I'm a disgrace card
the list, because I'm a white guy who complained that said, if you're, a white guy that complains everybody fucking hate you because they think it's sort of illegitimate. So the only thing I want to tell you is: there is a breaking point.
not going to see a coming as this guy broke sooner than you other people.
and I must say you were right on the edge
I'm just saying you gotta keep in mind. The white men have been suppressed for so long that if a breaking point happens is going to happen really fast, it should break all at once.
Just keep that month, push as much as you want, but this old man's, a meme for a reason and the reason he hit a note is cause you're. We are that guy. I I I am that guy. Let me let me say it as clearly as possible if he had, you know if he thought his life was largely over.
It is easy to become that guy. Alright, let's talk about the debates. Chris Christie is anti tick tock and said it should be banned and had exactly the right answer because he talked about it's persuasion power. Not just it's. You know data security problem, so Chris Christie had exactly the right take on this and I'm going to give him credit for that. A vague- and you know I said, I'm endorsing the vague. I disagree with him on tiktok, which is fine. We don't have to agree on everything, that's not how anything works, but vivek is more of a free speech guy and he's also being consistent. He is saying the the goal is to win. So if you're, not using one of the main vehicles to win, are you really playing to win? Now? That's actually a strong point
The the free speech. One is a little weaker, but we do like free speech, but the if you're not going to play the game just leave and he's saying I'm going to play the game, I'm going to use all the rules, I'm going to use all the resources and tiktok is wonderful. That's not a terrible argument for winning an election. It is, however, a terrible argument for governing a country, so if he used, if the bank used tiktok to get elected and then immediately banned it, that would be the baller play of all time and I would totally be in favor of that, but we don't have a suggestion that that's the play. I imagine he'd go with the free speech argument. If he were president- and he would probably continue telling republicans you'd better get on tiktok cause you're
and left in the dust now that argument echoes the argument with abortion right. If you try to operate on principle on abortion, you lose the election. So, as I cheekily said, the other day republic, you know everybody won. This was the last election was one where both sides won, because republicans got to win on principle, which was important enough for them to stand on. It, democrats got to win by winning the election and electing leaders who will be part of the process of eventually hunting and killing the republicans for being domestic terrorists. So it was a win win. Republicans got a moral victory and the Democrats gain power that they'll use to crush all
all republicans so sort of server tie yeah. So, let's see what else happened, let's talk
ran descent dispersed.
Ah.
I don't remember anything about rhonda centres.
That he has a whiny pleading voice, listen, listen to his voice for the pleading
but I do this, but I do this in florida. They wanted to do this splendid theirs.
it all it all sounds like he is like he is not confident in his position and he's trying to convince you of something that maybe he doesn't feel now. That's not what's going on. I'm saying that when you use that tone of voice a pleading tone, it's the opposite of commander in chief, so he's like three levels away from looking like a commander in chief cause. He's he just as weak voice now is not I don't mean the tone of his voice is weak. I mean the the strategic strategy of how he produces. It creates a pleasing sound to the ears that he doesn't have to do, because he doesn't do it all the time he does it when he was trying to make a strong point. So the stronger his point, the weaker he sounds. Oh there it is there's okay, I just realized. What's going on the stronger, he makes the point the santas the weaker. He sounds if there's an ordinary point, he'll say it in ordinary language such as this was a big problem and for florida, but we took care of it. You see that it's not a big thing yeah. That was a problem in florida. We took care of it very strong. You just say it's a thing: we took care of it, but then,
what he was talking about, something bigger presidential we need to do this. We needed to do that. It turns into a pleading voice, is the opposite of commander in chief, listen to the vic vic has commander in chief voice on every topic. He will tell you with the same level of confidence and voice small things. Big things look at, it looks like he would have control from top to bottom. Very strong,
so do scientists. The only thing I remember about him is he sounded whiny. Otherwise he disappeared. Tim Scott, I'm actually sick of hearing his inspirational personal story, because if you know I like it, I mean as it is. It is indeed a legitimate personal success story. That is important. I think everybody should know it. Everybody should hear it
eventually, but I felt like it was overshadowing policy thinking light like that was the main thing he was selling, to which I say tips got your republic.
Like the stuff you're selling- might be a good thing to sell the Democrats but you're trying to be the year of the nominee. Do you know what republicans dont need to hear? They don't really need to hear that if you were carved and do all the right things the uk-
succeed, despite whatever obstacles you had their already on that page republicans or born there. Yes, you we get that. Yes, TIM Scott you're an excellently.
Sample of what we all already believe: you're, not selling a saving. What am I buy? My buying? What I already have, which is the belief that that attendant scott has existed. It can exist and is a great symbol of america absolutely, but so what now? In fact, probably probably half of the people listening said some version of well. I did that too, not necessarily that you were born black, but that you have some obstacles and you overcame them too good good for you, it's just
that's not really something to sell to republicans. It makes sense to tell republicans you can sell it to democrats, but he was selling to the wrong. Audience is one of the following, so I don't think he made much of a dent, but the real competition, of course was nikki haley, who did great largely because I think she has more
female support in the republican party than some of the others and vague wow, did he go hard so summery it was viv aches debate, vague, won the debate. I think this is true, but, as I think of every debate I've ever seen, I don't think I've ever seen. Anybody win a debate that hard have you, as anybody seen anybody in any debate. Whoever won is artist evicted last night. I'd never seen it now that the trump stuff is different, because trump is really whether you love his style. If you love his style, then you did say he won all the debates, but then you listen to the pundits and the pundits would be well. You know he was a wild man. He didn't exactly when trump could actually give you a difference of opinion of who won
wait and it did. But in my opinion I doubt any democrat or any republican who is serious, could have seen that debate and given it to anybody but vague. How have you seen anybody this morning or last night on any news channel left or right did any did even one person think that anyone but the fake? What have you seen it? Did anybody think Nikki Haley one? Did anybody think the scientists made an advantage when the TIM Scott made a move, I'm right right that there was a complete and an unanimous opinion. The fake won the debate. When do you ever see that I'm saying sam knows what was there? Somebody who said somebody else one will talk about the details of frank luntz said what he thought. Somebody else won a drudge poll said Hayley. Well, alright, let's talk about that. So, of course it's all about the quotes if you were, if you were trying to
the winter. Here's the way I would do it whose statements do you remember the most? Whose statements do you remember? The most lud said hayley amazing, so here's other things are vague said
He started out by saying we become up
of losers. At the end of the day, is a cancer, the republic of establishment less plus, speak the truth. He goes
now keep in random mcdonald run mcdaniels, I'm sorry random adult run at mcdaniel.
the chairwoman of the rnc was in the audience. Imagine
hey, listen stage when the chairwoman of your own party is sitting in the audience
This is what he said. I mean says: ronna mcdaniel took over as chairwoman of the rnc and twenty seventeen. We have lost twenty eighteen, twenty twenty one, twenty twond,
two no red waves that never came. We got trouts last night and twenty twenty three and I think that
I have to have accountability in our party for that matter. He said that to the Republicans right in front of him. Now, that's just about the most baller thing: I've ever
seen in politics and apparently there some reporting that rada turn
if somebody in the audience, somebody must have overheard it and said he's not getting a penny from us, meaning that the Republicans party won't give vivek any help to which I say, you'd be the one twice. He won twice that you're not going to give him money.
Ok, you just maybe like a little bit more now he goes on. These is look the people their cheering for losing the republican party think about it,
whose moderating this debate. Another amazing point, because the moderators were left leading media.
as I think about moderating this debate, this should be tucker carlson, Joe rogan and elon musk separately. I think you said you know why isn't greg garfield moderating the debate now all good names, and I think he loves us, not the right one. Maybe you could attend or something, but that's a pretty good point. Isn't it. Why do they agree to debate
when people are gonna, Absalom, angry democratic questions, wonder why it is literally the republican, the republican primary and their having angry democrats. Ask some questions,
Why who decided that was a good idea I dont know about was rather mcdaniel. Part of that decision would would that be the decision making process and it s just a disaster as a redeem,
less ridiculous like to do given that you have your people on the right. Who would be the right people to ask questions,
so the vague is making sense all over the place you showing guts all over the place does not have a pleading voice and is not apologizing for who is that? Who is offending love it
He also said that Joe Biden took a five million dollar bribe for ukraine and that's why we're here holy shit, that's pretty direct
now in terms of the legal process that that's a claim that has now been established by the legal process, however, were watching the news and the news,
the report, something that looks a lot like that to me. So we just says in public perfect perfect
But then it goes on to what he says about Nicky Ellie,
The sea said such been enriched.
By foreign wars, but here
was the line that you'll never forget. He referred to her as dick JD in three inch heels, but then it got better. You said, or two people on stage with three achieves the other one being the joke about dissenters having lifts in his boots, which I don't think is true
is true, but you know, what's out, there is a meme or or a belief, so so he takes them nikki, haley and then just casually takes out the scientists. At the same time I mean that that wasn't much of a punch and dissenters was very memorable. Now the only bad part was it was. It was a killer line and obviously prepared, but he got talked to over what he'd delivered the kill shot that there's two of them on stage. I heard him say it twice because he tried to work at it again because it got talked over the first time it still worked, but if he had, if he had not been talking over, it would have been. The only thing you remembered is the only thing you would have been talking about. Do you know what's perfect about it? Everything do it did. I ever tell you,
the visual persuasion, visual persuasion, oh my god, you just see the heels, and then you see the scientists, and this little you know allegedly secret boot, lift thing that I don't think israel. That's visual.
Visual wins, I mean that's, that's just a willing playwright there.
And it was the most interesting thing people said so you know that it will be repeated, etc. The blocks
and then here was a Nicky helium response to the heel thing. She doesn't, whether restyle she wears them for ammunition what she is. She was so proud of it. She said on stage
and I was like what, unless you so proud of it? She said it again later in the post and acts, and I said again what what what.
The connection between the high heels and ammunition does that,
I still don't know I mean I legitimately. Don't now does
Anybody have an idea what that meant. Now that seems like somebody fell apart.
So then the was when they talk about tik tok. He said that the Nicky elite daughter was usually, I guess until recently, and the the camera shows that he held his face was vague, mentions that her own daughter was using. Take our fisheries also against take up and her face, here's the problem,
she lost her frame. The frame is I'm a powerful person. You should not see me, as you know, somebody's wife or something, and I'm going to be commander in chief, so that that's the frame she's selling on the toughest one up here, I'm tougher than the guys. You know I'm going to go after you, these people blah blah blah tough. As soon as I mentioned, the daughter she snapped into mother mode.
Did you see it is your face and then under her breath, but you have a sort of low, but the county of the microphones picked it up clearly. So as part of the story, she said you're, scum, and that was just mother mode. Now I don't object to it one bit from
Mother bowed right as a mother find that that was a perfectly appropriate defend your family call. This guy is scum. However, she is not running to be your mother he's running to be your commander in chief,
And vague threw her out of the frame so easily that, unfortunately, it's going to play to stereotypes, meaning it looks like she is not emotionally stable to be the commander in chief now, that's what I saw.
I don't know if other people like interpreted in the same way, but I saw him taking her with just a few words completely out of command, bowed and into mom mama.
and I dont want mom to be my president. I love my mom is amazing. Mom is better than repressive, but
What must I don't want mom vibe in the office? I dont want somebody who can that quickly be unframed, and that was in my opinion. That was the end of a run. To me, that was the end of Nicky ellie. I think a vague just put this shit
and turned it? I've never seen anything like. It really was amazing.
They call already also went after her and getting,
Apparently she was in that, while she was and government at the, u n, she was bankrupt or in debt. That's the claim of his troop, thus.
wait. Then she joined the military contractor and that her family became multi millionaires sued after now is a good attack point, but it should be said that all of it is transparent and completely legal and unfortunately pretty common. You don't have to like it, but always say nothing illegal and it's all, you know, sort of obvious. So it's a ferret.
Import, and he attacked it well and then a vague talked about the sentinel, and you know he would be tougher on it.
And he said: if a big mac had fentanyl, we wouldn't call that an overdose you'd call a poisoning cause he's talking about the fence. A little is in pills that you think are something else. So it's not just people knowing they're taking fentanyl, there's people who don't know they're taking fentanyl, which makes it poisoning not an overdose
Well did you notice the visual persuasion? If he had simply said you know it's more like a poisoning than an overdose as concept level and sort of you know using words to make
argument, as certainly says. If they put it in a big mac, you can see it, you can smell it, you can actually smell it.
Is is per se. His persuasion was so strong. Let me say it again: his persuasion was so strong. You could smell it, you don't get better than that. That's like yeah, that's like killing him.
So what else
and then at the end is closing statements. Oh my god, this was strong.
He says and thus far sledge these talking to the Democrats and this forest
Joe Biden is going to be your nominee. We know he's not even the president of the united states,
puppet of the managerial class by the way puppets. A good word too cause that's visual goes so have the guts to step up guts as visual you, you actually imagine your guts to step up and be honest step up as step up as visual.
Imagine somebody literally stepping in the honest, but we are actually going to put up. So we can have an honest debate. Biden should step aside and end the skin is now we can see
whether its newsome michelle obama, wherever else just tell us the truth, so we can have an honest debate how my cab as good- oh my god. Oh my god
is exactly what you wanted to hear, but you didn't expect you to the expected at all
and I like the fact that he michelle obama in there cause, I think, there's
ero chances she'll run for president, but she is so visual and, in my opinion, she'd be the the weakest because she hasn't held office or become an entrepreneur billionaire or anything like that. So just throwing her in the mix,
is super visual, so I mean how many visual elements are in this casual speech. It's just crazy is very trump like
So let me just say a little bit more about tiktok sensors indiscriminate their here's. What I think might be the source of disproven about tik tok. Somebody said to me,
scott, the mainstream media. The regular news has been brainwashing.
Both forever so like, what's the difference, take tax just another thing: brainwashing people, but how different is wound people been brainwashed forever, to which I say yes, but yes, it is true that the mainstream media,
It has been brainwashing the public forever, but the mainstream media at the very least, is us at least as americans right, even even the Democrats, most of them are not tried to destroy the country,
right. So you know the usa. You know in america persuasions are a whole different level than having your biggest adversary of a.
Literally a button that says he'd. They can push and sell the palestinian position over the israeli position or turn you into a non binary if they want now here's the thing that people don't understand as a trained hypnotist. I can tell you this with authority that if you ask a hypnotist, can you hypnotize people to do things that they wouldn't be inclined to do
and the answer is now now. If you said your under hypnosis and I said to you, take a god and go kill your neighbour for no good reason. You wouldn't do it, I'm not. Even there is not even any chance you do the zero chance. If I said here's a gun, kill yourself with it, you won't do it,
well, it's never happened in the history of hypnosis. Just listen to it, so you say to yourself from those examples. Ah, you can't really brainwash somebody to do something they don't want to do wrong. You know why? Because when the hypnotist tell you that you can't be hypnotized to do something that you fundamentally don't want to do, they're, leaving something out.
the parts that are leaving out is the important part. When I talk about it, I leave it there as well. Do you know why? Because I don't want you to know how much power I have that's, why? No, I could not make anybody shoot their neighbor. I do not have that power, but I can tell you your neighbors worth shooting the first time I told you you'd, say now, probably not by the hundredth time. I told you
If your neighbor is worth shooting, you start to think it was true. So here's the thing that you need to understand. I can't make something you don't want to do. I can't make you do something you don't want to do with hypnosis, but you do what I can do. I can make you wanted to do it. That's the part we leave out with intentionally, because if you knew how much power we have, you would shoot us immediately. Luckily, you'll never know, I could even tell you you walk now that that's hypnotist can hide in plain sight, because we can tell you exactly what we're capable of and you'll be like. I don't think so,
that's the end of the conversation. So so I can just tell you directly. Could I make you want to kill your neighbor on your own? Yes, I could. Yes, I could. I just have to work on you over time. I end it and if I could use a tool it'd be fast. If it's just me talking to you mate, it might take
I'll have to work on you for a while, but suppose I had a tool that was like really developed to be like the super hypnosis stool, it already exists, is called tiktok.
So here's the thing you need to know tat: I could make you kill your neighbor tik tok make you want to cut your balls off tiktok and make you want to remove your debts. If you don't understand that, then we're not you shouldn't be participating in the conversation about whether tiktok should exist. Tik tok can change your preferences year. Your actions will be the natural once a community preferences. They don't have to tell you what to do they. Just after me,
You want to do it and then you'll do it on their own, so the people will say, but these other social media things are also influential. That's true, but private
really their influence. You in an american way that might be know a different flavor than republicans like or different than democrats like, but it's all american right and and fundamentally or show social media networks are not trying to destroy america, the ones that are
by americans. But you can't say that about china. Now you might say to yourself Scott. They say they are not going to do that and there is no evidence that they ve ever done that, to which I say if somebody has a gun to your head and they have and pulled the trigger yet.
Once I tell you this, I tell you it's. Ok, they have a gun to our fucking. Hence the head happens to be our children. If they haven't pulled the trigger yet- and I certainly have- but if they haven't it doesn't mean they can't. Maybe there maybe they're waiting for something you juicy, I would argue that they probably pulled the trigger. The Hamas is really situation because it would be an obviously
we'll do it and the and there are researchers have suggested it looks like it happened. So that's why I disagree with vague, although I do, I do think he backs his opinion by saying winning is more important. Yeah.
But I'd love to see him when using take action and then that would be the willy brown technique.
willie brown, when he was accepting money from tobacco companies at the same time, the legislature that he was in charge of was debating smoking policies, and somebody said: how can you be part of this? You know smoking you're, where it's legal to smoke, discussion
if you are also taking money from tobacco companies and willie brown famously and wonderfully said, if you can't take money from people and then stab in the back you're in their own business, to which I said no further questions
And then I'm pretty sure that the law ended up banning smoking in public places. I think that's what they were working on, so he was right. He took their money right in front of them and then stabbed him in the back and then told the
now you wonder why he was such a popular politician for years in san francisco, maybe that maybe that,
on the faculty says. You know a number of them were problem
palestinian, which some people will say is the same as pro hamas. Now, I'm not going to characterize them I'll, just say that you know there there were more palestinian oriented and other people were more clearly palate
really oriented in terms of their support, but somebody did an analysis of the of the the faculty there and found out that these cars now there are two letters, one is more pro: israel. One is more pro palestinian
different members of the family, but somebody analyzed where the family members come from, like which disciplines it turns out that these stem
The stem faculty overwhelmingly sports, israel and
was the humanity
the social sciences that seem to back palestinian slash, maybe a little bit mass activity does not surprise you.
Here's another way to say this was the polite way to say it. Here's another way, the the smart people back to Israel and the less smart to faculty back to palestinians. Now I hate to say it, but probably if you didn't, I q test with the stem teachers versus the humanities teachers, I think there'd be a difference. I think it'd be a difference.
they're just unjust speculated. I don't know that for sure, but this way I look at it anyway. Rasmussen due to poland,
funding, ukraine separately and israel separately versus putting in one package to which I say. Why is that even a question? How in the world is a citizen of the united states, whose think she should put two different things,
together so that the people of only gonna have less choice and turns out a lot of people. A lot of people want the government to to do the worst possible thing, which is omnibus bills. What now, I think, they're just thinking, thus away they get what they want, but as a process,
It's the dumbest thing anybody ever did so the results were fifty percent of us voters think it's better if aid is voted on by congress as stand alone, but are still thirty five percent who believe it would be better if Israel and Ukraine were part of one package, a third, a third of the country thinks that putting different things together for one decision is better for the country. How do you even support that idea? I've never even heard an argument for it. I've definitely heard arguments why it's easier for members of congress to get to industry with the omnibus gazelle put the pork on it and say you bribe people to vote for you. I get that. I don't like it, but I understand it, but why do the voters like it.
because that's the thing I just described is something that is good for the politicians to get their pork. There's no argument for why it's good for voters. I don't believe anybody has ever presented an argument. Why it's good for voters. Does anybody know why that would be good for voters? Is it only because nothing would ever be passed? Otherwise, I dunno I liked the nothing gets past situation alright well and David Sachs.
said something interesting to say about the republican situation. He said, republican donors are perfectly comfortable running candidates with extreme views on abortion, but they will
Tolerate candidates opposed to forever war. This is why the gene,
We, as a party of performative opposition, destined to lose
important even when they win ouch ouch now I don't know if David sex and identify as one party or another, I feel he's probably independent, just based on reading, but that's a pretty strong statement that the the g o p is basically a performance
If the opposition, the way I interpret, that is, if they want to win their, would act differently, would you agree that, if republicans we're trying to win, they would act differently? Any agreement with that, I think, is true. Now I don't even have
it of whether they should try to win because standing on principle is not nothing. You know who's standing on principles to protect the unborn. If, if that's, what you think is as if, in your view, that's just the most important thing- and I can see why somebody would have that view.
But at least you know, you're dying. If, if you think it'll make a difference, it makes more sense.
but suppose you knew it, wouldn't make a difference. What, if you knew it could cause? I would think the argument would be. You should be trying to convince your fellow citizens of your view, because that will work. It's way. You know culture comes before politics. So if you're, if you're trying to change somebody's culture by changing the law, aren't you doing it wrong shouldn't shouldn't the long term. Glp strategy be to change people's
wines and then that would you know downstream would be politics. So I would. I worry a little bit about the glp strategy of trying to change your culture by changing your law. I just don't know that. That's the way everything works, so it would explain why it's not working now. I also don't know that you can ever change people's minds. People are people are pretty locked in on this, so you can see why your unfortunately follow the money works. Well, actually, yeah. You want me to fix everything about abortion. In my opinion, it's not a coincidence.
Follow the money explains why young women would prefer abortions, because if they have the child and are not ready financially is the worst financial thing that could happen, even if it might be wonderful in other ways. So as I
I tell you that follow the money predicts, even when it shouldn't. While abortion is exactly the case where it should would you agree, abortion is about literally you know what is life and and at what point, do you protected or not protected? I mean that's what it should be, but is it a coincidence that, coincidentally, is exactly the same as their financial interests? It's not a coincidence. If you are, in my opinion, if you change the financial element of it, it'd be completely different. For example, this is not a recommendation. This is more to think through the the the idea that it's really a money question and we pretend it's about other things. It's kind of a money question
and it goes like this suppose. You had a law that says if you forgo your abortion and have your baby and give it up for adoption, you will receive one hundred thousand dollars. What would happen to the abortion rate? Well, probably people would have babies just just to get the hundred thousand. Is that ok, it might be. It might be okay, because we have a population decline problem.
But but just use that as your mental, it's just a mental exercise. If you could imagine
The money would solve the problem. Then we have to ask yourself if it was always about money that serve a real has scratcher. If you could solve
with money. Was it always about money? In my,
anyone who has always been about money. In my opinion, because.
The moment, you paid somebody to have that baby instead of aboard it, I think they'd have the baby. You just have to pay enough now we can never afford to pay everybody, one hundred thousand dollars to have a baby, but as a mental experiment. If you think it's not about the money well, then you have to explain why money would change people's behavior. It's not about the money, because you know
what there's. Probably not one person here who's disagree with me that a whole bunch of single women who found themselves pregnant in a way they didn't want a huge percentage of them would say you know, for one hundred thousand dollars put it up for adoption. Guess a nice family, maybe you say we can't afford it. You might be right so
Michael says that we cannot afford that, and you might be right, because a hundred thousand dollars might be a drop in the bucket, what a baby nor lagos. So you can argue about whether the government should be paying is a separate conversation. But and then, if you are part of the party, the things the government should be protecting you, then you have a perfectly consistent situation o the at. That
the moment. The way the government protects single democrat women is by allowing them the option of having an abortion so to them just some number of them. That would feel like being protected. Oh you gave me this right, so now I can. I can handle my situation the way I want to, but suppose instead, the government protected you by saying that if you found yourself in that situation, will it will support you? Let's say you get free medical care, let's throw that into just for the experiment, free medical care and one hundred thousand dollars the the day he had given up for adoption. Suddenly that looks like protection. Doesn't it right because some number of women who have abortions do have a problem with it? Is that true
woman but scary. Can the women confirm that that there is some number of people who believe in abortion who have the abortion? But then they say they just don't feel good with the ever they're, never quite right with it. So if the government were protecting those women by allowing the birth to happen, but everybody comes out financially and health wise and everything else that would look like protecting. Can you imagine a major candidate suggesting paying people to have the baby I'm going to make a prediction: somebody's gonna pr somebody who's going to suggest that that's my prediction, because we have an unsolvable problem right now, completely unsolvable, and if somebody came up with a solution that people go. Oh, that doesn't solve every problem right because you stuff your rape and you know there'd be the edge cases. Everything else, but imagine that your proposition to single women is that if you get pregnant against your will or maybe even intentionally you're going to make money.
How many votes did obama get because people mistakenly believe they were going to get obama phones, I dunno probably a few, but if you can change the the, if you could change the the feeling that people have about republican opinion on abortion and you said, look we will make you rich, not rich, but you know we'll we'll solve some of your problems and we'll keep you healthy during that process. That's a pretty strong package now I don't know if it's a good idea, because I haven't run the numbers and I don't know what what would be the number that would be the right number it could be. Fifty thousand fifty thousand is insane amount of money. You know if you're just getting by, but one hundred sounds like a done deal. If you tell somebody they'll get a hundred thousand dollars and they don't see a way that they would ever have that much money in normal ways. I think you could literally buy the votes of young women. Am I wrong
It let's, let's take, let's take this approach, just keep it in your mind, so republicans have this problem with abortion that will just keep them out of office forever. Suppose they said this and imagined the presidential candidate leading the message ranks as the presidential candidate is the message maker for the rest of the people. If he does it right where she does right, so imagine trump or of ache or even both of them say here's the deal. We do not believe that a president should be making healthcare decisions. Now, that's a strong, strong statement and it gets you out of the business of saying what a person should do in their personal life, but somebody still has to be in control and that's why you say: that's why
we drove it down to the state. Now. Here's how we'd like to protect people will give you a hundred thousand dollars. You know this is my proposal, for example, to have the baby plus healthcare. Even if you don't have healthcare will make sure you get quality healthcare, the entire time you're carrying plus. You know every minute. You know, maybe six months after that or something and
and then that I will protect you, because here is what I feel like, I feel like. If you're a single woman, you think the republicans wanna screw you and the Democrats want to protect you. So Republican should actually used the word for attacked.
here's, how we're going to protect you we're going to offer you the option of having the baby and making money, but only you and your doctor and your state can decide what's legal or appropriate, I'm giving you an extra option that you've never seen before. That would be really strong. Wouldn't it am I crazy gimme gimme gimme a check cause, I'm just sort of spin
Would it be crazy for republican president to say you do not want me part of this decision? I do not want it ever decide. There's somebody should live or die as an american if they ve been obey the law. If something is a terrorist told me,
The decision, but you do not want your president to be arguing whether your baby should live or die. The president should always be in favor of maximum human american life. Always there should be no exception, but should the states have an an argument about it? Well, that's up to the state rights of this site. It's up to the voters.
At the doctor and the mother have some decision making ability, yes and you should have more than the president. This is one case where the the voter should have far far more power than the president of the united states. Might maybe the only one herb is the best.
I love it, but as the president united states, I could make sure they are at least have another option that protects. You serves to increase the population and keeps everybody healthy and can take down the temperature of the people who think they need to kill each other over this issue. I did
I knew this wouldn't work? Would it work? I mean as a not only as a messaging thing, but actually a partial solution to the actual problem? The word mandatory comes to mind. Yes, there'll be no mandatory. Anything from the federal government test is small. There you go. Thank you, yeah. Is this something that can be tested? Could you I mean? That's, that's the beauty part. I mean the beauty, part
would be you say, look we don't know if this would work when you love to hear that from a leader when you love to have your leaders say we don't know if this will work, that's why we're testing it, but here's the idea behind it. Here's the transparency, will tell you how it goes. I'd love to hear that alright suck about ian bremmer,
most of this he said oil palm oil prices are presently lower
then when, before the Israel Gaza war began, who predicted that the oil palm oil prices would actually go lower.
But is also says it around stay on the sidelines, despite long standing, support and training of Hamas and nobody about to attack them. How does he know that? Does he know nobody is about to attack them? I think he's right. I hope is right, but apparently what is gonna happened instead. Is that by is made at least one attack, maybe more on the external proxies that had been attacking american bases to me, it seems like we should wipe out all the proxies. Would you agree you have to make being your proxy look like a really bad idea. Go so far. Being a proxy has been like a way to get money and power if you're a little leader of a terrorist group, so you have to
make it a bad idea like did you get money from around yes or no? Oh yeah, we got a little money gone up. Are you? Are you operating on your own, or did you get money for moran? Well, we know
little bit around a little bit of money for you just disappear.
that we should literally wipe out every proxy hezbollah as a special case. So you know- maybe maybe you do them last or maybe not because they're too powerful at this point, but I would certainly take care of hezbollah anywhere except lebanon, lebanon. I still don't know what would be the right thing to do about that, but at the moment the us has a green light to take care of all the proxies. So I think we could do that without getting iran involved. You know you notice. The interesting thing about iran is that somebody said you know how many has it been hundreds of years or something iran has never tried to,
They go over another country. How you could argue that what's happening with Hamas in Israel, while that they might be trying to destroy a country, but that no one here around saying we want to put our flag and Israel. Maybe they do, but I do wonder that
We don't understand iran, but they do seem to have a long history of not wanting to literally conquer their neighbor, but their neighbors have tried to conquer them. Iraq in particular, I dunno. I have weird optimism that
figure out how to work with a ram, because, even though they are the crazy messianic part is feel like the
have a very serious reasonable apart
that they show all the time
They show restraint when they need restraint. They show no restraint. What it looks like it can work
I like everything they do seems to be rational and I don't know how you couldn't work with a rational partner if you tried and tried and tried so even with the twelfth twelfth whatever model or whatever it is. I think you could work with all of that. The the other things I'm wondering about is what does the iranian people think about Hamas and israel? I heard, but I don't know that is true- that the the iranian public is more pro israel and pro west than they are pro hamas. Can anybody confirm that, because that would be the best argument for not attacking
Around the best argument would be that you've already won, meaning that the population is already pro western and anti their own government. You could ride that situation a long time, even with a lot of cost to it. So you know it. If you attacked iran, people would reflexively back their own governments and they'd see. You know, horrors around so the rents rents a tough one.
but I feel like it. We could do something here. Here's the detailed news about what's happening in Gaza. There are
gun battles and that's it. That's all.
Thus about what I anticipated as some point when the cellphone start dying in gaza, eunuch ear and
and
it'll be a long time before you hear you know about bad stories of things that happened are now allegedly the israelis are making some aggressive pushed, but I think the I think the pushes are probes and going after like a specific objective and then probably pulling back
but then also shrinking the perimeter. I saw somebody argue that the number of hamas killers who have been taken out is very small compared to the I dunno, the the claim of several thousand nine thousand. You can't believe everything, but you know, probably thousands of people have died, but only a small number of fighters, so some people said well. That's proof that you're doing something the wrong way, you're killing all these innocence, but only
small sliver of actual fighters, to which I say the other fighters are already waiting in their graves. I don't think you're carrying this right it if, if you had no ninety nine percent of an army was already in sealed coffins below the ground.
Technically alive, you would now say to yourself man, those guys better begin way
no. You would yourself there already,
in a sealed coffin there already buried, they ve got not much time left.
So I would argue that every armed Hamas fighter is basically dead or dying and even though they have been sealed off all the tunnels, they will. I don't think, there's no doubt about that. I said Putin last night, crazy, doc.
I think I said anything could have happened. Alright, yeah and I there's a comedy of the persians. Are wonderful people? That's my experience. So all my contacts in america with people who came from IRAN or have any background, they're amazing people just universally awesome culture and people.
so that that despondent, alright, so we all your much about that. Sadly,
Gentlemen is my way to learn:
so from the day. I hope you enjoy it. I remind you that if you're looking to buy gifts for this holiday,
you'd better order this one soon the beauty of this book is. This is really perfect for a gift for almost everybody, because it's got reframes to improve your life and a lot of different ways, and maybe just reading one sentence changes your life
few people tell me the delights of have, but the reason I tell you to do it early is because I'm independently published
means that amazon prince the books as ordered
So I dont want to be like a week before christmas, because I dont know how quickly they can print
So if I were you to be comfortable before the end of november- and I'm not even positive that soon, but that's where I'd go for I'd go for before the end of november. If you look, if you tried to get it as a gift and if you're looking for the dilbert calendar as a gift, it only exists in digital form this year, and only for subscribers of the ex platform. If there, if you're subscribing to me, you can get the comic and the the daily comet this new dilbert reborn, but you also see daily dilbert calendar and the dilbert calendar will be the the comics that ran exactly ten years ago on that same date,
as a running theme- and I think you'll like seeing what ten years ago looked like in dilbert. At the same time, you're seeing the new one and you'll you'll be able to look at the contrast I think you'll enjoy that. So you could also see that on the locals platform, Scott Adams, the locals dot com- and that has more political stuff. So if you don't want to see the political stuff for a few extra bucks, lots of other content as well, you just want to come.
go to the ex platform. Ladies and gentlemen, that's a four day and I'll say goodbye to youtube until tomorrow
