Because I've realized that we already know exactly what this is.
We don't know a lot of the details, you know, could be wrong about this or that,
you know.
But big picture, we know exactly what's going on.
And I think at this point that if all the information on all these different
threads, whatever it is, especially the murders, not just the recent murders or
attempted murders, but the more historical ones.
If all the relevant information came out tomorrow, would we be surprised?
No, we wouldn't.
We know what's up, actually.
And there's enough evidence, but also our instincts tell us just by watching,
like, what is this?
And I agree with you completely.
It's not just about Israel, this country.
It's about whether or not self-government actually exists.
Like, do any of these countries have a system where the people decide who their
leaders are and what the country should do collectively?
Not really.
Or it's more complex than that.
Yes, I think elections are, to some extent, real and all that.
But in the end, not by nations or kings or presidents or whatever we imagine.
They're made by, you know, they're made by, you know, the world's richest
people.
And no, I don't think that's an ethnic group.
It's not code language for the Jews.
It's what it seems to be.
It's what it seems to be.
It's the people with the biggest stake in this, who have the most to gain and
the most to lose, are never going to leave the big decisions to, like, three
zip codes in Pennsylvania.
Like, come on now.
Come on now.
Come on, son.
Like, you know that that's true.
And I'm not saying, by the way, I'm not claiming, you know, all elections are
totally rigged or whatever.
The source code belongs to Maduro.
I'm not making any specific claims like that because I don't know if they're
true or not.
But I know the big picture, if we know that Kennedy was pushing up against some
forbidden things and that's why he was killed.
And who killed him?
Well, it's not – it's too easy to say it was this group or that group or this
group.
It was all those groups acting in concert or parts of those groups acting in
concert.
Of course.
That's all of what this is, right?
Do you feel that?
I like what you said about if all the pieces came out, would you be that
surprised?
Like, if they laid the cards completely out.
Epstein, for example.
You know, the one that everyone's –
Right.
I feel like that whole thing is some sort of – I think there's some – there's
definitely stuff there.
But then also it's been such a kickball and a ruse for so long.
It's like both political parties had a chance to put it out or to get – none
of these people are operating on our behalf.
That's what it feels like.
Well, that's kind of the truth that I'm talking about.
That's what we would learn.
That's what's scary.
If all of this came out.
It feels like – well, so many of us believe and have believed and have forefathers
that have spilt their blood and risked their lives and have friends who are enlisted
now to protect this thing that I feel like we – this idea of America.
And then that idea has gotten super blurry in the past few years.
It has.
And especially at a time when I think a lot of people like – there's a lot of
fears with like technology in the future and not knowing like where we're going
to find our sense of purpose, right?
That's a big thing that we talk about on this show a lot of our time is like,
you know, where do you find your sense of purpose?
And people find it a lot of times in their job, through their family, in their
country, through their religion, through their faith.
So, you know, some of those start to go away and some of those even look blurrier
for the future, almost like it's like Marty McFly when he looks at that picture
and it looks like he doesn't even exist, you know?
And so it starts to make you think like, you know, if more of our purpose
disappears and our traditions are challenged by media over the years that they're
not – that they're wrong or they're racist or they're this or they're that,
then you kind of end up with just – I don't know.
It makes you feel like, well, what do I end up even – what even is the value
of me at a certain point?
I have the answer.
I have the answer.
Okay.
And I don't also want to sound too dour.
Like I'm also looking at it from that perspective.
You're speaking for millions of people when you say this.
Like everyone can feel – I think people feel exactly what you're saying.
And I still also feel like a lot of moments of hope of like, you know, like,
okay, so I focus on my family.
I focus on my friends.
I focus on doing something nice for someone.
I focus on somebody else other than myself.
You know, I do those things that do give you feelings of meaning and purpose,
right?
So anyway, I'm not trying to be like a Debbie Downer, but go on.
I think just the opposite.
And by the way, I just want to amplify what you just said because that is the
answer.
And those aren't just feelings of meaning and purpose.
That's the definition of meaning and purpose is to love the people around you,
not people you've never met, not abstract concepts, communism, fascism, Zionism,
whatever your ideology is.
No, it's people.
That's what it means to live a meaningful life is to serve other people.
And by other people, I mean people who are physically present, who are
connected to you in organic ways, like your relatives, your friends, your co-workers,
your roommates.
The people God puts in your path.
Those are the people you love.
Your waitress.
Like that's what it really means to love people.
So that's number one, always love the people around you.
And whenever I run into people like, I just want to save the world or I want to
come up with a new system to make everyone happy forever.
And we're going to call it whatever we're calling it.
Ketamine.
Or ketamine.
Ketamine.
Yeah.
And that's bailing out.
Dude, there's people falling asleep at the car wash.
They just had a guy.
He fell asleep in there.
Yeah.
Well, those of us who've already been down the drug path are a little skeptical
of being saved by drugs.
Oh, for sure.
But it's also dangerous.
Those brush, some of those brushes are sharp in there.
Like I fucking fell asleep in that car wash.
He was in for two cycles.
He had a sedan that went through and finally someone in the backseat saw him on
the side.
That dude was in there getting polished up.
You know?
And he was a ketamine catcher.
Yeah, he was ketamined up.
He was all K'd out.
He was in a K hole or something.
Man, I thought I had, I've never done ketamine, but, um, but I do think, okay.
So the first purpose is to love the people around you in your immediate orbit.
And the second purpose is to tell the truth.
So the short, the one sentence description of the whole thing that you just
laid out, the way you're feeling, is that we are discovering that we actually
don't have control over anything big happening.
We have no control.
Right.
And all this shit, all these systems that we've created and cherished and
believed in and died for, as you said, were all, in some sense, illusory.
They were fake because they gave us the false impression that we have control,
whether it's over our government or the future or whatever.
We don't have any control.
We are on a commercial airliner in a thunderstorm.
Okay.
That's just what it is.
And if you're in 17B, you have no control over whether the plane lands safely
or crashes.
You just don't.
You have no control.
We have to metabolize that.
Like, accept that.
And once you do, there's total freedom in that.
I actually can't protect myself, really.
As we say in my family, our family motto is, there is no safety, there's only
destiny.
There is no safety, there's only destiny.
And that's, like, the deepest truth of life.
Like, we're not the authors of our lives.
We can't really control that much about them except a couple of things.
Do we love the people around us and do we tell the truth?
And if you want to prepare yourself for the turmoil that's only going to
accelerate, this is all obvious, all of us can feel.
The reason we're all so freaking anxious is we can feel that this is the prelude
to, like, real turbulence.
Like, every person.
Dogs can feel a thunderstorm coming three hours out.
We can feel that.
Oh, yeah.
You'll see your neighbors doing circles in the yard.
A hundred percent, dude.
And that's exactly.
We are the German shepherds starting to freak out in the backyard because the
weather's coming and we can't see it.
But they can feel it.
And we can all feel that.
So how do you protect yourself?
Obviously, buy gold, stash ammo.
I believe in all that.
But really what you need to do is make yourself strong inside by collecting
your people close to you, staying in close touch with them, and telling the
truth.
Because telling the truth gives you spiritual power.
The more you tell the truth, the more you are filled with supernatural power.
You become invulnerable.
To the extent a human being can be.
I'm telling the truth, and I don't care if you kill me.
I really don't care.
Because what I'm saying is real, and it will outlive me.
If you get into that habit, the exercise of just being honest as much as you
can be.
Of course, you're a human being, so you'll lie all the fucking time because you
can't help it.
But if you keep doing that, you'll be filled with a spiritual power that is
stronger than any other power.
Do you believe that our country is compromised?
Do I believe it's compromised?
Yeah.
Yeah, I do.
Do you believe that it's reversible?
You know, I believe so, I mean, again, I'm so old.
I'm 56, so like, I just grew up believing in everything, you know?
You're younger than Leanne Morgan.
We just had her in here.
Really?
Have you ever listened to her?
No.
Oh my gosh.
Does she seem old?
No, she's great, dude.
Both of you guys look great.
Really?
She's older than I am?
Yeah.
She told me she was, unless she was lying.
I don't believe her.
There's that new thing.
A lot of women do that.
They pretend to be a lot older.
That's like the true Jedi move for a woman.
To be like, actually, I'm 61.
Like, a conventional woman would always be like, actually, I'm 29.
But the really smart ones would be like, I'm almost 70.
Yes.
That's how they do it.
That's right.
She's a wonderful, beautiful comedian.
And she's hilarious.
But anyway, she was a senior.
But she's 60 years old.
I bet she uses nicotine.
Great.
I bet.
She does.
She did smoke, she said, in college.
Yeah, see?
And look what it did for her.
And she wears tight bras because she says it keeps her awake.
So I love her.
But, yeah, do you think it's reverse?
Like, and I guess that's a big question.
And also, going back to what you said a little bit ago, like you said, but then
I look at the history of time and it's like, people have always been under the
thumb of some type of rule, haven't they?
Of course.
And so for us to be like, I mean, it's weird.
It's like, part of you, it's like you're supposed to, don't be a baby about it,
you know?
Like, you're just being a, like there's some sort of oppression.
And even as people that can feed themselves, we're not as oppressed as so many
other people or people that if they turn on the light, they're afraid it's
going to activate a bomb in the corner of their room.
So I had dinner with a guy who works for us last night, literally last night,
and I said, where are you, where were you born?
He goes, ah, I was born in Eritrea, but I grew up in a Sudanese refugee camp.
And I came to the United States.
He's an amazing guy and a wonderful, wonderful guy.
But I was like, gosh, you know, I'm really, I'm from La Jolla.
Right.
It's like, stop whining.
Dude.
This is my internal dialogue.
Stop whining.
Stop whining.
I had to fly Southwest yesterday.
Oh, no one's something more than me.
Yeah, La Jolla.
But La Jolla is for sure the lap of luxury of America.
Oh, yeah.
And almost every single childhood friend of mine was totally destroyed.
Really?
Not all, but most.
Oh, for sure.
Just by the, uh.
Drugs.
Wow.
Drugs.
Good drugs, too.
Oh, the best.
They didn't put, they did not put baby laxative in our cocaine growing up.
Oh.
No, no, no.
That was a ghetto thing.
Yeah.
Yeah, no, no, no.
We had.
God.
It was almost blue.
We had to wear diapers.
It had so much baby laxative.
It came with diapers.
It came with fucking Huggies, bro.
That's shit.
We had some stuff.
We bought all some pipes.
Yeah, no, no.
I grew up in a, but anyway, the point is.
Right.
The point is, though, that we've, there's always been some sort of like,
there's always been a rule.
There's always been something like that.
I think that, but.
The older you are, the sadder it is to see your illusion shattered and the
harder it is
to pivot.
So if you talk to people who are like 23 and you're like, I think the moon
landing's fake.
They're like, yeah, Gramps.
It was always fake.
Like, what are you talking about?
Right.
Who the fuck thought that was real?
Look at the video one time.
Exactly.
So that's.
Yeah, it's kind of crazy.
Someone, a friend of mine who's unfortunately gone insane, but was a genius
called James Carville
once said to me.
James Carville from the Democratic Party?
He's from Louisiana.
Oh, he lives in New Orleans.
Oh, yeah.
No, I know him well.
And he's gone crazy and whatever, but he really was in his prime like a genius
and someone
I listened to very carefully.
Yeah, dude.
And he once said to me, I'll never forget we're in a restaurant in some foreign
country.
And he goes, you know, people misunderstand the theory of evolution.
And I was like, I can't even do his accent, but he'd be like, survival of the
fittest.
That's bullshit.
That's not what he was saying.
And I said, well, what was he saying?
He goes, it's survival of the most flexible.
It's adaptability.
And he had this whole incredible rap about strength is not actually the quality
that helps
you persevere in the face of change.
It's flexibility, the ability to pivot with changes that you can't control.
It's not the mass, it's the sail.
Exactly.
And in fact, strength can be a feature of, rigidity can be a feature of
strength.
Like your windowpane is strong as hell.
It'll last 200 years.
But if you tap it, it'll just shatter.
No, you need to be able to move with the moment that you live in.
And so I feel like young people are in a pretty good spot.
But yes, for older people, it's hard to, it's very upsetting.
I'm sure you feel it.
You're much younger than I, but you still feel like, oh my gosh, I thought this
was real.
And it's not.
And it's like heartbreaking.
It's crushing.
I see it a lot in like just my, my, probably my mother and things like that.
See their disappointment kind of.
Yes.
Or just uncertainty about what's going on.
And they love the country so much.
It's real.
It's sincere love too.
That's the thing.
I mean, it's like, it's something that's beautiful that you felt like was a
certain way.
And now maybe some ethnicities and cultures didn't feel like it was that way.
And so sometimes I can understand that there's different points of view there,
but I still
believe that the idea of America and what it's been, um, and that it's goals
and that the humans that
want it to be that are that it's altruistic, you know, a hundred percent, but
that you start
to realize, oh, that these powers above us there, they have something different
going
on in that, um, they, you would think that they would, I guess they just won't
tell us,
you know?
And so I think that's where some of my fear is.
It's just like, well, evil thrives in darkness.
There's no doubt about that.
It's like, what does it mean to be part of something moving forward?
What does that thing even look like?
You used to believe that everybody that was elected was campaigning for America
first,
right?
Like America first was the, was the thing.
That's our system, right?
But that's, that's not what's going on.
Well, it's of course just the opposite.
I mean, look at the country.
So the country's dying, not because the people are bad because of bad
leadership.
Yeah.
Leadership is every, I used to, you know, you get brainwashed growing up here
and you're
like, no, what really matters is how most people feel.
No, what really matters is the willingness of your leaders to actually die for
you as you
would for your children.
Like, it's that simple.
If they love you, they will, your country will prosper.
If they hate you, it will fail.
It's super simple.
They don't like us.
Okay.
Got it.
Got it.
And what do you think that we could do differently?
I know that John Rich on your show that one thing that was interesting, he said
that he
felt like a lot of Americans have just kind of cowered and watched this kind of
happen.
Don't be a bitch.
Yeah.
He was pretty adamant about it.
Don't ever be a bitch.
Yeah.
That's right.
He was speaking mostly about Christians, but also about Americans, that they've
just kind
of cowered and sort of let this, like, um, let evil policies, evil things come
in and not
stood up for their own voices or stood up against their own fears.
Do you think that that's true?
Oh gosh, it's the truest thing.
I participate in it.
There are plenty of things.
I'm just like, I don't want to deal with that.
Oh yeah.
Or I might.
Oh yeah.
What am I asking if it's true?
Do you take a loss?
I mean, it's, it's not, I hate to point one of your, as I said a minute ago,
one of
your tics, verbal tics that I just, I want to emulate and I want to be like
this is you
preface every attack or assessment of someone else with a self critique.
You're like, I've done a lot of shitty things, but I think that person's doing
a shitty thing.
Like I think that's a really good habit to get into just because righteousness
is good.
Self-righteousness is evil.
And there's a big difference.
Well, your ego is very scary.
That's a thing.
So scary.
It's the scariest thing.
It's the scariest thing.
That's what kills you.
If you're a man anyway, for sure.
The ego is very scary, but yeah, I have there been like, yeah, where's the
leadership supposed
to come from now?
Like if we can't believe that our politicians are going to guide us, right?
Well, the system is obviously changing, you know, just like, you know,
take the media.
Okay.
I went into this in 1991.
It's, I can't, I could write 10 books on how different it is.
Everything about it, not just my perceptions of it, but the systems itself are
totally different.
And so systems evolve and we're clearly at the end of something in the
beginning of something
else.
And I can't know with any precision what we're moving into, but clearly it's
not going to
be like what we had.
Like we know that because this system doesn't work, doesn't produce anything
worth having.
It's obviously dishonest in a transparent way.
A lie doesn't infuriate you unless you know it's a lie.
Now we know it's a lie.
So by definition, we can't keep doing this.
And Barry Weiss can be like anyone who disagrees with Netanyahu is now
imprisoned and you can
do that.
I'm sure she would love to do that, but it's still not going to work because
you're going
to have prisons full of people who still disagree with Barry Weiss.
Like you can't change people's minds by force.
It has never worked and it never will.
So our system is reaching the end of something.
I hope it's not, I love our system.
I hope it's not destroyed, but clearly it's going to change.
It has to, it will.
It feels like it's going to happen fast though.
It's going to happen fast.
And I just hope it's not too destructive.
I don't want chaos, man.
That is, I've seen that in foreign countries and it's scary.
There's nothing scarier than that.
It happened in your state.
It happened during, I saw it during Katrina.
Ooh.
Yeah.
I was like, I can't believe this is happening.
You know, just for a day or two where there's no cops and there are kids
running around with
guns and like shooting.
I was right next to a guy who got shot to death.
Like what?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Thank you.

So the first purpose is to love the people around you in your immediate orbit.
And the second purpose is to tell the truth.
So the short, the one sentence description of the whole thing that you just
laid out, the way you're feeling, is that we are discovering that we actually
don't have control over anything big happening.
We have no control.
Right.
And all this shit, all these systems that we've created and cherished and
believed in and died for, as you said, were all, in some sense, illusory.
They were fake because they gave us the false impression that we have control,
whether it's over our government or the future or whatever.
We don't have any control.
We are on a commercial airliner in a thunderstorm.
Okay.
That's just what it is.
And if you're in 17B, you have no control over whether the plane lands safely
or crashes.
You just don't.
You have no control.
We have to metabolize that.
Like, accept that.
And once you do, there's total freedom in that.
I actually can't protect myself, really.
As we say in my family, our family motto is, there is no safety, there's only
destiny.
There is no safety, there's only destiny.
And that's, like, the deepest truth of life.
Like, we're not the authors of our lives.
We can't really control that much about them except a couple of things.
Do we love the people around us and do we tell the truth?
And if you want to prepare yourself for the turmoil that's only going to
accelerate, this is all obvious, all of us can feel.
The reason we're all so freaking anxious is we can feel that this is the prelude
to, like, real turbulence.
Like, every person.
Dogs can feel a thunderstorm coming three hours out.
We can feel that.
Oh, yeah.
You'll see your neighbors doing circles in the yard.
A hundred percent, dude.
And that's exactly.
We are the German shepherds starting to freak out in the backyard because the
weather's coming and we can't see it.
But they can feel it.
And we can all feel that.
So how do you protect yourself?
Obviously, buy gold, stash ammo.
I believe in all that.
But really what you need to do is make yourself strong inside by collecting
your people close to you, staying in close touch with them, and telling the
truth.
Because telling the truth gives you spiritual power.
The more you tell the truth, the more you are filled with supernatural power.
You become invulnerable.
To the extent a human being can be.
I'm telling the truth, and I don't care if you kill me.
I really don't care.
Because what I'm saying is real, and it will outlive me.
If you get into that habit, the exercise of just being honest as much as you
can be.
Of course, you're a human being, so you'll lie all the fucking time because you
can't help it.
But if you keep doing that, you'll be filled with a spiritual power that is
stronger than any other power.
Do you believe that our country is compromised?
Do I believe it's compromised?
Yeah.
Yeah, I do.
Do you believe that it's reversible?
You know, I believe so, I mean, again, I'm so old.
I'm 56, so like, I just grew up believing in everything, you know?
You're younger than Leanne Morgan.
We just had her in here.
Really?
Have you ever listened to her?
No.
Oh my gosh.
Does she seem old?
No, she's great, dude.
Both of you guys look great.
Really?
She's older than I am?
Yeah.
She told me she was, unless she was lying.
I don't believe her.
There's that new thing.
A lot of women do that.
They pretend to be a lot older.
That's like the true Jedi move for a woman.
To be like, actually, I'm 61.
Like, a conventional woman would always be like, actually, I'm 29.
But the really smart ones would be like, I'm almost 70.
Yes.
That's how they do it.
That's right.
She's a wonderful, beautiful comedian.
And she's hilarious.
But anyway, she was a senior.
But she's 60 years old.
I bet she uses nicotine.
Great.
I bet.
She does.
She did smoke, she said, in college.
Yeah, see?
And look what it did for her.
And she wears tight bras because she says it keeps her awake.
So I love her.
But, yeah, do you think it's reverse?
Like, and I guess that's a big question.
And also, going back to what you said a little bit ago, like you said, but then
I look at the history of time and it's like, people have always been under the
thumb of some type of rule, haven't they?
Of course.
And so for us to be like, I mean, it's weird.
It's like, part of you, it's like you're supposed to, don't be a baby about it,
you know?
Like, you're just being a, like there's some sort of oppression.
And even as people that can feed themselves, we're not as oppressed as so many
other people or people that if they turn on the light, they're afraid it's
going to activate a bomb in the corner of their room.
So I had dinner with a guy who works for us last night, literally last night,
and I said, where are you, where were you born?
He goes, ah, I was born in Eritrea, but I grew up in a Sudanese refugee camp.
And I came to the United States.
He's an amazing guy and a wonderful, wonderful guy.
But I was like, gosh, you know, I'm really, I'm from La Jolla.
Right.
It's like, stop whining.
Dude.
This is my internal dialogue.
Stop whining.
Stop whining.
I had to fly Southwest yesterday.
Oh, no one's something more than me.
Yeah, La Jolla.
But La Jolla is for sure the lap of luxury of America.
Oh, yeah.
And almost every single childhood friend of mine was totally destroyed.
Really?
Not all, but most.
Oh, for sure.
Just by th
