Peterson bridges ancient spiritual detachment with modern social commentary, arguing that internal ego-dissolution is the only true remedy for external chaos. It is a compelling reminder that our greatest battles are often fought within the illusions of our own minds.

"Something Else Is Driving These Shooters" — JLP on White House Shooting & EVIL (JLP Reacts)Added:
One of the things that's happening right now in my country, I've never seen a the threat upon a president like we see now. Just think about this. The Great White Hope has had so far three uh assassination attempts in two and a half and so years.
Have you ever heard that before?
And why is it so prevalent now? Is it because in the good old days at least human beings knew that it was evil and it wasn't it was something else driving that person and evil wasn't anger was not being promoted as good and now it's being promoted as good. You you're idiot if you ever cater to a person's emotions.
You are supporting the evil in yourself and in that male or female when you try to support their emotions. Have you ever tried to be strong and the more you tried to be strong, the weaker you became? Have you ever tried to be strong in a situation or even thinking about a situation and the more you thought about it, the worse you got?
It wore you down just thinking about it.
I had a young lady call the show yesterday and she finally went and forgave her parents according to her and she said thinking about it wore her down. Just thinking about having to go and face them back to the mother. But when she finally did it, she's like, "It wasn't as bad as I thought it was. It wasn't as bad as I thought." Who do you think is telling you that it's bad? This is going to happen. That going to happen. And you try to be strong and you get weaker. Have you ever tried to be weak and then you try to be strong and then you try to be weak? Strong then you become weak. Why give up both? Why don't you not try to be strong or weak? Why give Why? Don't try either one. Don't be either one. Don't be strong. Don't be weak. Don't claim strength and don't claim weakness.
And it's all disappear.
Ain't that amazing? Yes, Jesse. That is amazing. Have you ever What other have you ever Then I play something for you.
Have you ever said to yourself or thought about, you know what, I'm not going to look for God anymore.
I'm going stop looking.
I'm not going to think about him. I'm not going to look for him. God or Jesus.
I'm just not going to look for him anymore.
And the moment you stop, in that very moment, you found him. And you're like, "What the?" Because you were looking for someone or something that was already there. It was right in front of you, right in front of your face. Finally, you got to give up if you want to have life.
And you got to let life happen for you and through you because the way you're going, it's going to only get worse. Do what you want. Um, I mentioned the great white hope.
Have you ever heard or seen or or read about any other president whose life has been there has been attempts to take away his life as the great white hope. Some people call him amazing.
Some people call him king.
Some people call him daddy.
I call him the great white hope. Well, yet I don't know if this was an attempt, another attempt on the president's life or not. They're not saying that it is or that it ain't. That is not yet.
According to this report, another shooting. And again, they haven't confirmed that this person was trying to take the president life or not.
But it's amazing that these things are happening around those areas there.
During our time, Secret Service shot and wounded an armed man on Monday afternoon just south of the White House. Watch this from NBC News.
>> Tonight, another security scare just blocks from the White House and minutes after Vice President Vance's motorcade had passed through. Battalion 6 response for this shooting on 15th Street and Madison Drive Northwest.
>> US Secret Service investigating an officer involved shooting near the Washington Monument and the National Mall. It began around 3:30 this afternoon.
>> Our uh plain clothes officers and agents that consistently patrol the outer perimeter of the White House complex identified a suspicious indiv individual that appeared to have a firearm.
>> Uniform Secret Service then confronting the individual. Upon making contact, that individual fled briefly on foot, withdrew a firearm, and fire fired in the direction of our agents and officers. They returned fire and engaged. That individual was hit.
>> A bystander was also hit and injured.
This video showing the vice president's motorcade a short time before, and you can hear what could be the gunfire on our White House camera as agents with long guns rushed people inside. President Trump speaking in the East Room, making no mention of the incident, which comes just nine days after a gunman ran through a security checkpoint, allegedly trying to assassinate the president at the White House correspondence dinner.
>> It's evil.
Forgive them, father.
They know not what they do. Said the son of God to the father. It's not them.
It's something else driving them. Have you noticed that something else makes you think and feel the way it wants you to think and feel and you're like, "What the I don't want to feel." You wake up in the morning and already you worried, afraid I'm wondering about your day and all that and you're like, "What? I just woke up. What the That's what's driving these people to do this because in America today, anger is promoted as good.
Emotions are promoted as good. You're promoting evil and don't know it. And the great white hope is so amazing that he didn't even mention it in a talk he gave according to the report right after that happened. When will you overcome the world or will you always do what the world does or do? Will you always do what they're doing?
When will you come away walk away from it?
Walk off the battlefield and live your life cuz that's never going to end out there.
The race false illusion of racism will always be because it's an illusion.
It will always be fighting between men and women will always be fighting about and for and against abortion will always be.
Now you got to you fighting with the transgenders and all that mess. It will always be. It's not going away. You got to walk away from it because this is hell on earth inside of human beings and and they and humans are putting this hell out there on earth. What do you call that hate when you it's already in you then you put it out there?
>> Projection.
>> Projection.
It define projection.
>> Well, I was thinking that projection tends to be more like what in you you imagine in others.
>> That too.
>> Mhm.
>> It is. And you put it out there on others.
>> Yeah.
>> This is projection. The Secret Service says they don't know if the president was the target of this shooting. Watch this.
>> The Secret Service on this afternoon's shooting.
>> Whether or not it was directed to the president or not, I don't know, but we will find out.
>> Monica joins us live from that scene.
And Monica, you mentioned he was shot.
The suspect also in custody tonight.
>> That's right, Tom. Officials were asked if the suspect attacked or approached the vice president's motorcade in any way, and they said no. As for the bystander, who we've learned is a juvenile. They do not have life-threatening injuries. And as for the suspect, we do not yet know their condition, but they remain at a local hospital.
>> Was the shooter black or something? They never they haven't said the color yet, which leave anything black cuz had been a white man, we would already see his face. We would know who his mama is and everything. But maybe not, maybe black.
Grandpa, tell me about the good old days. the world gone crazy. And so during the shooting imprompt gave an update on the Iran situation.
He mentioned this as far as I know, but he he was like updated and he got shooting outside and like what the Trump like I ain't got time for that. I got my work to do. It remind me of what Jesus said when uh that guy was dead and they were like, "Jesus, Jesus, Jesus." What's the guy that was dead and Jesus said, "Let the dead bury the dead.
I ain't going over there."
>> Lazarus.
>> Lazarus. Jesus, Jesus, Jesus. Lazarus dead. And you like, "What the come?"
Jesus like, "No, I ain't got time to be going over there messing around with that. Let the dead bury the dead.
Leave the battlefield and leave the dead. lay your weapon down and leave the devil and his children out there on the battlefield. You ain't got time for that. You got to live. Are you going to fight all your life? I literally know men and women because we've been we used to be out there doing all that dumb stuff, too. So, I understand it.
And and there were so many that people Barbara Cole, Isola Foster, T uh Terry Anderson, I think the name was Terry.
Uh I can just go on and on. They now dead. And we and we were all maring and fighting to stop. This is back in the early 90s. We're fighting against the stop the illegals from coming into our country here in California.
and in into California we were protesting against abortion all kind we used to be out there joining the two just like that and now it's in the 20s ain't nothing changed it only got worse and even though that all people dead I didn't know then as they didn't know they need to leave the battlefield cuz this is hella earth and it's not going to change you can change but hell is not going to change this is the Old Testament and so you going to be fighting for nothing except for ego gratification. You get an ego through it felt good out there on that battlefield but it was just ego it was such a big ego we didn't even see that nothing would change it. It got worse.
So Trump and according to C-SPAN, Trump said he doesn't think about the assassination attempts.
The key phrase is he doesn't think about the assassinations attempt. Stop thinking and be free. All thoughts or all lies all the time. There's something about the president y'all don't understand. They like, "No, I'll be thinking about that." What? No, that has happened. There's nothing I can do about it now. It's done. Uh Trump said he doesn't think about the assassination attempt or he wouldn't be able to do his work.
That's from CSA. I rest my case.
That is so deep. We can all go home now.
We can pass the bucket and go home.
It's all that you're thinking.
So is a man thinking. So as he is, if you think fear, you're afraid. If you think weak, you are weak. If you think strong, you are strong. At least in your thinking. If you think the past, you're in the past. If you think future, you're in the future. If you think you're wonderful, you're just thinking. Nothing wonderful about you.
Nothing bad about you. Is it the thinking? What would happen if you stop thinking?
Won't you lay down your thinking and see? But anyway, NBC New. So, here is uh the president um updating the folks about what's happening over there in Iran. And even as it being reported that another shot fired out there by outside the White House there, the president like I according to CNN C-SPAN I don't have time be thinking about no assassination.
I got work to do as Jesus said I don't have time to go there and take care of Lazarus.
Lazarus is dead and let the dead bury the dead. But no, you worship the dead.
What? Uh, watch this from ABC News.
>> Tonight, Iran launching new attacks on commercial oil tankers and its Arab neighbors. The fragile Middle East ceasefire under strain with Iran also firing drones and missiles and using small boats to attempt to strike US ships in the straight of Hormuz.
Sentcom's commander says the projectiles were shot down and boats sunk by American attack helicopters. We have defeated each and every one of those threats through the clinical application of defensive munitions.
>> The American naval vessels coming under fire as they attempted to protect commercial ships passing through the straight, part of President Trump's newlyannounced Project Freedom. Today, Sentcom saying two US flag vessels successfully traveled through the straight. The United States has assumed the risk for the international community to open the straight >> with President Trump now saying if Iran tries to target US ships, they'll be quote blown off the face of the earth.
All is the Iranian regime is also targeting the United Arab Emirates. UAE officials condemning what they called quote renewed treacherous Iranian aggression, saying its air defenses shot down incoming Iranian drones and missiles.
>> Amazing.
Hey, what's the United Arab Emirates? Is that a country?
>> It is.
>> And is it over there by those uh Arab people that wear the white sheets and they got a lot of money and oil?
>> It I don't think it's far from the Saudis. You're talking about Saudi Arabia, right? Yeah. It's It's kind of on the It's next to Saudi Arabia.
>> Yep.
>> So, US Arab Emirates >> United Arab Emirates.
It's a different country than uh Saudi Arabia.
>> Correct.
>> And so, >> hey, Anchor Baby, it's coming through with the geography.
>> Right on.
>> A map. There's Saudi Arabia, the big country on the left with with the two like water inlets >> right there.
>> Uhhuh. On either side.
>> Let me let me see you there. Nate, go back up there to it.
>> Yeah. You want me to zoom out again? No.
>> No. Zoom in to the UAE. Zoom >> in. Here's the UAE right over here.
>> Okay. M this >> and that's the hormu is straight just north of it.
>> All this water.
>> Oh, that's it right there.
>> Well, the the north and to the east.
>> That's amazing.
>> Cuz that tip is something else.
>> Oh, yeah.
>> And then where is the United Let me see the United Arab Emirates.
>> That's it.
>> Where?
>> Right there.
>> Point to it.
>> Is a kind of a zoom out. Trying to circle it with the mouse. Do you see?
>> Yeah. this little slope.
>> Oh, that whole little area there.
>> Yep. With the line around it.
>> Oh, I got you.
>> Cursor you can barely see, but >> that whole area. Yep.
>> And so, uh, are the Arab Emirates friendly with the Saudi Arabian people?
>> Yeah. They they like I think of the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia as officially liking America.
>> Oh, >> I think of them as being they like us.
And then Iran. Let me see how close Iran is to the Emirates and Saudi Arabia.
>> They're across the water. Go north.
>> They on the other side of the water.
>> Yep. And they're huge.
>> Oh, it is.
>> Yeah. All this.
>> All that. This huge land right here.
This This huge piece of land right here.
>> Is there another like layer view that you can >> Oh, yeah. You're smart.
>> Very smart.
Where is >> And so the um Iran is larger than Saudi Arabia and the US Arab Emory.
>> Yeah, I think it is bigger than Saudi Arabia even. If you hit like command plus or control plus, I think it makes the the uh lettering at least bigger.
>> Oh, >> but then of course then that thing gets kind of in the way.
>> No wonder they think they're so tough.
>> Hit the side thing.
Now I understand a little better why they think they're so tough.
>> Yeah, they're a huge country. I think that um I think I heard that they're like 200 million people or something like that, >> which we're we're 330 million people. So they're a big country and a big country has a lot of potential talent.
>> They're a country bigger than ours.
>> No, our c they're like two almost twothirds the size of ours. Oh, >> a little bit less. But they think no wonder cuz I I saw a report where they said at least five to seven president in our country have >> Oh no, never mind. I said it wrong.
They're like a less than a third of the size of us. 93 million people.
>> Uhhuh.
>> I I lied. Info may be false. Disclaimer.
Hake doesn't know anything. And so I heard that in our country prior to Trump taking care of this at least five to six maybe seven president thought about going over there and doing but they were scared.
>> Okay. So Saudi Arabia is pretty big. But Iran is greener. So Iran probably has a bigger population. I would guess. Well that's guessing. Let me not do that.
>> That's Iran up there.
>> Yeah. You see how green it is? It's more green.
>> Saudi Arabia is 35 million people. Yeah.
So Iran is much bigger. It has three almost three times as many.
>> So Iran, but why don't Iran like his own people?
>> They're too diverse, I guess.
>> I don't know. And so other president our country been afraid they they they have known that Iran according to the reports I don't know that Iran was always trouble and there there's a possibility that they would get nuc develop a nucle nuclear weapon and go for everybody but they've been afraid to go after those people and now Trump is doing it where no other male was able to do it no other president in the United States. You hear something like that?
>> I was reading I was distracted when you were talking.
>> Well, Obama were afraid to go over there. He kept drawing red lines.
>> Well, that was Libya, but similar to >> like that. Yeah. And then uh Biden didn't do anything. The Bushes didn't do anything. And the Clintons didn't do anything. Nobody but the president.
>> Yeah. That crossed my mind as well that they've been a problem for a long time and Trump is trying to solve this problem.
>> Yeah. He finally doing something about it.
Iran e economic his economy is in strain by the US blockage of uh this u hamoose thing.
Watch this from NBC News.
>> Iran lashing out as President Trump's blockade of its ports has been squeezing the Iranian economy. uh can't let them have a nuclear weapon or you can have you'd have problems like nobody would believe and it's going very well.
>> But President Trump is also facing political and economic pressure with polling consistently showing a majority of Americans oppose the war and the conflict driving gas prices up more than 30 cents a gallon in the last week to a national average of $446.
The president insisting that surge is temporary and that prices will plummet once Iran can no longer block oil tankers from using the straight. There's a lot of energy out there of ships all over the world that are loaded up with it. They can't do much with it because they got uh kidnapped by a pretty evil place, but uh we're taking care of it.
>> Thank you, Mr. President.
Finally. Finally, it's happened to me.
Right in front of your face. Finally.
Thank you, Mr. President. I'm grateful.
What you say?
>> The unpopularity of this war.
>> Mhm.
>> Makes me think that it might be a good war.
>> No.
>> Because usually wars are very popular at first and then they become unpopular after a while.
>> Yeah.
this uh this situation what going to turn out to be amazing.
America going to flourish after it's over.
Oil prices going way down. Food prices going way down. And the folks are going to shout hallelujah.
Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
Hallelujah.
Don't worry.
Be patient. No pain, no gain.
I went to the gas station yesterday and uh it cost $6 >> to put gas in my tank. And when I put >> per gallon, >> huh?
>> Per gallon. Not just $6 to fill the tank.
>> No, per gallon.
And when I was filling it, I was saying, "Thank you, Mr. President. I can be patient. If you wait upon the Lord, he will supply your every need. If you wait upon the great white hope, he going to supply your every need. A lot of people opinion about this event in Iran is driven by the media and the Democratic party and the crazy people listening to the media and the Democrat.
A lot of people opinion are driven by that and they just don't realize it.
What other choice do you have but to wait and price was already high. They were already through the roof. You're just paying a penny more.
Maybe more than a penny, but blah blah blah. Be patient.
