Summary
Joe Biden is in the hospital getting ready to go into surgery, and it's a good thing he brought his favorite beverage with him: coffee. Plus, the latest on the Democratic primary field, and a couple of other things.

I wasn't sure I'd have enough time to do a periscope this morning, but I can't leave you hanging.
00:00:19.220
I've got a little surgery later, around 12.30 my time, I'll be under the knife.
00:00:25.480
I've got to get in there a little bit earlier than that, but until then, we have this excellent,
00:00:32.080
excellent periscope, one of the best you're ever going to see.
00:00:36.360
And it starts with a little thing I call the simultaneous hip, and all you need is a cup
00:00:41.960
or a mug or a glass, a tank or a gel or a stye, a canteen jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind.
00:00:55.480
The thing that makes everything better, including pandemics, polling results, racism, economies,
00:01:13.120
Well, all I can have is clear liquid and black coffee for the next few hours, so if I don't
00:01:17.940
die of hunger, and I don't die from the surgeon's knife, they're going to clean out some polyps
00:01:30.420
Did you all see Joe Biden's, I guess it was a speech with some questions.
00:01:35.580
He started out by walking to the podium and announcing that he thought he was in the wrong place.
00:01:46.220
He tried to play it off as a joke, but the first thing he said was that he was in a different
00:01:57.240
And then he tried to act like it was a joke, but nobody knows what that joke would be.
00:02:04.460
What is the joke when you say, well, I'm in the Moscone Center, but no, it's the Javits
00:02:13.120
If I said I was in one place, you see, you just don't get jokes.
00:02:21.340
I said I was glad to be in this one place, but it turns out I was in a different place
00:02:30.680
Oh, if you don't get that, what kind of a sense of humor do you have?
00:02:34.900
And I imagine, I was trying to imagine the Democrats watching their chosen champion and
00:02:57.340
Equally funny is that I guess the news got a picture of Biden's notes.
00:03:02.760
So he had some notes with him for the speech, and he had a note for Kamala Harris about what
00:03:10.260
good things to say about her in case he was asked, but he didn't have any notes about anybody
00:03:19.360
It sounds to me like he was ready that if they said, hey, how about Val Demings or Duckworth
00:03:25.220
or one of the others, I imagine since he didn't have any notes for each of them, he would
00:03:31.040
have said something along the lines of, I'm going to make my announcement next week, which
00:03:39.040
I'm not going to talk about anybody personally.
00:03:41.300
But apparently, if they had asked him about Kamala Harris, he was going to talk about her
00:03:50.520
Does that mean that he's going to pick her for vice president?
00:03:56.940
Even funnier, you probably saw this on Twitter, but Politico actually accidentally published
00:04:05.420
what they planned to publish on August 1st, which is to show who the winner was, and it
00:04:11.860
looks like they just plugged in a winner to test their formats.
00:04:15.660
And the winner that they plugged in, just to, again, I'm assuming it was just a mistake
00:04:20.840
and they were getting ready in advance to know what to plug in when the news hit.
00:04:26.760
So it doesn't mean that Politico thinks Kamala Harris is necessarily going to be the leader.
00:04:32.480
It just means that they had plugged that in and they forgot to change it before they published
00:04:37.980
So I wouldn't take anything from the Politico thing except that they expect it to be Kamala
00:04:42.660
Harris, or at least the web designer used her because she was number one in the polling
00:04:52.980
So people who are not familiar with this kind of business said to themselves things such
00:04:59.500
as, well, there better be something like that for each of the candidates or you've got
00:05:09.640
It would be perfectly normal for a web designer to design a page that just mentions all of
00:05:17.100
the candidates and then to see what it would look like if they later updated it by saying
00:05:23.120
that this candidate won, which was the thing that they posted.
00:05:26.500
So how unusual would it be to just pick one name, throw it in there and see what it looks
00:05:33.660
And other people said, but wait, the fake news from the future had an actual quote from
00:05:41.500
Joe Biden that he has never said that, you know, they're acting like he'll say that in
00:05:46.640
the future, to which I say also completely normal, completely normal.
00:05:51.740
Web designer just said, ah, he'll say something like this.
00:05:56.420
It was more like a reminder to the web designer or the writer who was in charge of that.
00:06:05.520
Now, was it smart to put in a real quote when there was some chance, small chance, but some
00:06:12.520
chance that it would get published accidentally?
00:06:19.380
Nobody should lose their job over anything like that.
00:06:26.460
So here is one, probably the most shocking story of the day.
00:06:32.080
And, you know, we have news that's pretty shocking, right?
00:06:37.720
That would have been smarter than putting in an actual fake quote, but not that much smarter.
00:06:44.500
And I'm just talking from experience as a writer.
00:06:46.920
You're, you're in a hurry, you're doing 10 things, you put in a thing.
00:07:03.140
The search visibility on Google for Breitbart stories about Biden basically are zero.
00:07:11.580
So Breitbart went from one of the featured big publications that leans right to having,
00:07:24.200
If you Google something, it would be on the first page usually.
00:07:28.060
And apparently they have rigged, and I'll say rigged because I can't imagine it would be
00:07:33.760
The Google has rigged the search algorithm to just make them disappear.
00:07:37.260
They actually disappeared an entire media platform, one of the most important ones in politics.
00:07:52.080
Now, apparently, I think if I have this right, Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg will be talking to
00:07:58.380
I think Matt Gaetz will be grilling him today, which should be interesting.
00:08:02.180
And Facebook, of course, is getting some heat for, a lot of heat, for taking down the video
00:08:08.260
of the doctors who were pro-hydroxychloroquine.
00:08:11.960
But it looks like the reasons they took them down, a little bit sketchy, a little bit sketchy.
00:08:19.900
And the two reasons that I heard, and I'm not sure that this is actually Facebook's official
00:08:25.900
It sounded more like other people explaining why they did it.
00:08:28.600
But the explanations I heard is that the one doctor claimed that hydroxychloroquine is
00:08:34.680
a cure, which is not supported by anybody who's a reputable scientific community.
00:08:44.740
What exactly does cure mean in the context in which she used it?
00:08:50.040
In the context in which she used it, I did not take it as a scientific statement, that
00:08:56.800
you know, cure in the scientific definition of, it just makes it go away.
00:09:01.940
The way I took it was the context in which she was speaking, which is if you use this,
00:09:09.860
If something solves your problem, is it a cure?
00:09:15.880
Technically not, if you're talking in scientific and medical terms.
00:09:21.100
But why is she talking to the public in strict scientific and medical terms?
00:09:29.700
So my interpretation was that she did not make a claim of a cure in a scientific sense.
00:09:35.940
It was a cure in a practical sense, as in this would make our problems reduced to the
00:09:41.800
point where we could get on with life, basically.
00:09:50.080
The other thing she said is that masks don't work or that they're not necessary.
00:09:55.880
The context in which she said that was hydroxychloroquine, meaning that if you got that right, there
00:10:03.340
would be so little problem that, you know, you wouldn't even care if the doctor wore a face
00:10:08.300
Now, what I do wonder is if ordinary doctors who are treating ordinary patients wear face
00:10:17.760
Why is it that doctors who are just seeing you for whatever your complaint is in the doctor's
00:10:32.020
I assume if you went to the doctor, I guess I'll find out today.
00:10:35.340
I would assume all the doctors at the doctor's offices are wearing masks.
00:10:46.940
But anyway, in any case, that was a medical opinion from a real doctor who has a doctor's
00:10:57.220
But that's not really the point because I'm not an expert either.
00:11:02.300
So given the face masks were at one point the devil, and now they're the savior, I don't
00:11:11.680
know that that's a reason to ban somebody from Facebook, even if she was wrong.
00:11:16.880
So that's a big story, but not nearly as big as this Breitbart thing being just disappeared.
00:11:26.060
Because if they can do that to a major outlet, and they did, we don't have to wonder if they
00:11:34.080
What control does anybody have about getting their message out?
00:11:42.980
On the same, obviously it's intentional, on the same track, Israel is apparently flagging
00:11:51.940
Trump tweets, whichever ones they think are problems, but they're not flagging Khamenei's.
00:11:59.600
So Iran can say death to America, or versions of that, and that's fine, but Trump is a problem,
00:12:08.560
Now, I suppose you'd have to look at the individual tweets, but it's hard to imagine that this makes
00:12:17.100
Speaking of lack of free speech, two other examples in which Democrats are implicated.
00:12:26.500
If any of you watched the bar, is it a testimony, or whatever the word is in front of Congress,
00:12:34.860
and you may have noticed that the Democrats had a plan, it was obviously organized, in which
00:12:41.760
They were just going to use all their time making statements, and then talk over him if
00:12:46.060
he tried to talk, and yell, I'm reclaiming my time.
00:12:51.400
And I'm surprised he stayed, because I don't think I would have stayed, but he had more
00:12:56.880
self-control, and he looked like he was enjoying making them look like jerks, which he did.
00:13:02.960
So he has more self-control than anybody I've ever seen in that kind of situation.
00:13:10.700
It's really impressive watching Barr sit there.
00:13:13.620
And the few words he would get out when he would try to say something, just the few words
00:13:38.220
The Democrats just acted like bullies and wouldn't let him speak.
00:13:42.200
Now ask yourself, is this some kind of a new thing?
00:13:48.040
Have the Democrats just decided that they're going to shut down the other side from being
00:13:56.640
And now another way that we get to see the other side is by these hearings.
00:14:06.160
So those are two examples that the Democrats have completely shut down conversation.
00:14:13.980
Well, it turns out that I think also yesterday or recently, Michael Schellenberger was also
00:14:21.780
at a hearing or testimony, whatever, for Congress.
00:14:25.300
And I just read an article by him this morning.
00:14:27.980
I tweeted, you can see it, in which they did the same thing to him.
00:14:32.900
So he was invited to talk about climate change and environmental things and nuclear power and
00:14:41.020
renewables and those things, his very area of expertise.
00:14:46.480
And while I think some of the people asked him real questions and listened, he actually
00:14:50.580
had the experience of the Democrats doing that same thing, where they would just use up
00:14:55.660
all their time with character assassinations on him that were based not on facts, and they
00:15:08.220
They use up all their time with horrible accusations that just don't pass any sniff test, and then
00:15:18.880
They just made a public record of an accusation of a guy who's just trying to make the world
00:15:23.120
a better place, completely scurrilous lies, and they just leave it there.
00:15:28.420
And I thought to myself, it's very unlikely I'll ever be asked to testify to Congress, but
00:15:40.380
Now, suppose, I don't know, they had a subpoena or something, and I had to go.
00:15:45.060
If you had been Bill Barr, and once it became clear that it was their intention to not let
00:15:53.140
Because I'll tell you how I would have handled it.
00:15:57.280
I would have said, you know, I agreed to come here to answer questions.
00:16:04.820
Anytime you're ready to ask me some, I'll be in the hallway.
00:16:09.060
So if you don't mind, I'm going to skip the parts that aren't important to me, but I'll
00:16:16.120
If you have a question you'd like me to answer, I'm here for you, man.
00:16:23.660
I'll stay here all day and answer your questions.
00:16:26.180
Will you give me a heads up when you have them?
00:16:38.080
I'll be on my phone taking care of some business.
00:16:40.480
If you have a question, can somebody just come out and get me?
00:16:43.560
And I'll be happy to come in and clear things up for you.
00:16:47.760
Now, that's the way I would have handled it, because it would have made them just look
00:16:51.640
like idiots, and that would have been more fun.
00:16:58.300
I've got to say, I've never seen anybody under that kind of pressure who handled it as well
00:17:04.780
And what he did specifically is he didn't show them getting under his skin more than sort
00:17:11.540
of what the audience was feeling as we watched it, you know, just the sort of general silliness
00:17:17.340
But when he laughed at them, that was the money shot.
00:17:22.640
When he asked for a five-minute break and Nadler said he couldn't have one, now clearly
00:17:28.040
a five-minute break is to use the bathroom, right?
00:17:30.960
You don't go to lunch with a five-minute break.
00:17:33.340
So clearly he was asking in public, on television, if he could use the restroom, having been there
00:17:44.240
Barr just asks again, and then he gets another no, and Barr just laughs.
00:17:52.520
And he just laughs, because he knows how this will look to the public, and it's just funny
00:17:58.340
Because it's funny that Nadler would be such a jerk.
00:18:03.340
Now, I have started the hashtag Party of Jerks, because it seems like the Democrats have just
00:18:09.500
completely stopped being anything like serious or helpful or legitimate or anything.
00:18:18.040
And they've gotten away with it so well, why would they stop?
00:18:23.440
And so if you look at the protests, the protests are mostly jerks.
00:18:26.600
You know, however many there were there for protesting legitimate problems, well, we heard
00:18:35.820
We heard all the legitimate problems, and there's not much argument that things should be better
00:18:48.500
The Democrats who are not letting Barr talk, just jerks.
00:18:55.200
The ones who didn't let Michael Schellenberger respond to their accusations.
00:19:18.680
This guy, well, you know what I'm talking about.
00:19:21.720
So CNN has two or three people that are designated Trump bashers.
00:19:29.500
I think it's Collinson is the other, and John Avalon is one.
00:19:32.500
They'll have at least one Trump hit piece per day, usually an opinion piece.
00:19:45.880
Like normally, I wouldn't queue up a whole video of an anti-Trump person, except that it's funny.
00:19:56.280
But this was funny in a way I didn't quite expect.
00:20:01.880
According to John Avalon, I think it was in 2015, 43% of Republicans thought Obama was a Muslim.
00:20:34.100
Now, this is one of the reasons I don't join political parties.
00:20:38.640
Because if I did join a political party, I'd have to explain this.
00:20:43.120
It's like, Scott, do you know you're a member of a political party, 43% of whom thought Obama was a Muslim?
00:20:57.520
But if I were in the other one, it would be, Scott, do you know you joined a political party that believes the president called neo-Nazis fine people?
00:21:12.780
So it's sort of embarrassing, no matter which way you go.
00:21:17.000
Speaking of embarrassing, Mike Sertovich has a scoop today, as he often does.
00:21:22.760
Somehow he got a hold of Jim Jordan's memo to other Republicans, which, you know, I looked through it, and I'll give you my take on it.
00:21:32.780
The headline take is that he's giving Republicans a way not to treat social media like a monopoly.
00:21:42.640
In other words, giving them an out so that they don't regulate them.
00:21:47.360
Now, of course, the conversation is, should they be regulated or not?
00:21:52.040
Now, the Jim Jordan argument is that the regulation is, I'll use my own words, but I think this is close, would be a little bit of overkill because the free market can take care of it.
00:22:04.440
So the argument is, from Jim Jordan, that the free market, if it identifies that, let's say, you can't find any conservative voices with the existing social media, that that will cause market opportunity.
00:22:18.600
And that there will naturally grow up a conservative-leaning media entities and platforms, and that the competition will just take care of it.
00:22:36.040
There's somebody out here who says they believe Obama's a Muslim, a secret Muslim.
00:22:42.220
All right, so, I'm sorry, I just totally lost my train of thought there.
00:22:48.600
Some of that have to remind me of what I was talking about.
00:22:51.360
Oh, Jim Jordan and his argument that the free market will give us the competition and the conservative voices and alternative voices that maybe are being suppressed.
00:23:01.240
Here is what Jim Jordan apparently doesn't know.
00:23:10.040
You know what it is commonsensically, but it's a term used more in Silicon Valley than anywhere else.
00:23:19.860
If everybody you know is using Facebook, you're not going to go to the Facebook competitor.
00:23:26.760
Because when you go to look at all your pictures on the Facebook competitor, there won't be any, because your friends aren't there.
00:23:33.160
So your network of friends have already voted that they're going to be on a certain platform, your Instagrams, your Twitters, your Facebooks, and they're not going to leave, right?
00:23:47.760
Have you had the experience of trying out Parler, competitor to Twitter?
00:23:58.880
You know, it's pretty much a clone of the Twitter environment.
00:24:08.500
And then I thought to myself, huh, if I had posted the same thing on Twitter, I might have 2,000 retweets, which gives me a dopamine hit.
00:24:22.460
Because if half a million people see it on Twitter, which is followers I have now, I have a bigger impact.
00:24:34.220
And then I go to Parler, and I can make the same tweet, and it's like I'm just sending it into the night because there's no network there.
00:24:43.080
Now, obviously, some conservatives are moving over there, and that network is growing.
00:24:47.400
But I don't really want to be on a network that only has conservatives.
00:24:53.880
So, you know, I would be in the category of people who would leave in a heartbeat for a different platform.
00:25:06.060
If you're not following me on Locals, you should know that that's a subscription platform, seven bucks a month.
00:25:13.020
And you can see the stuff that I won't put on Twitter.
00:25:15.840
Because there's stuff that if I put it on Twitter, I might get kicked off of Twitter.
00:25:20.480
So, if I think it's edgier, or I think it's special, and I think it's just for the subscribers, I'll just put it on Parler.
00:25:29.480
So, there's an app, and there's a website for Parler.
00:25:37.460
Let me correct that in case I said that wrong more than once.
00:25:41.080
Locals.com is where I put the subscription content.
00:25:50.840
Not enough to make too much difference, but full disclosure.
00:25:57.640
Have you noticed that CNN is really going hard at this story about the hydroxychloroquine doctors?
00:26:03.040
But I pointed out on Twitter, the CNN is mostly only bashing the black female doctor.
00:26:11.240
So, there was an event in which there were a number of doctors, but the only one they're bashing is the one who happens to be black and female and from Nigeria.
00:26:29.920
Can you think of any other explanation for why they would pick this one person to single out?
00:26:36.560
And of all those white faces, they pick the only black face to demonize.
00:26:46.380
Because you know, if this were the other way around, that's what you'd be hearing, right?
00:26:50.800
Well, it might have to do with something that she said besides hydroxychloroquine.
00:26:55.560
Because it turns out she's said some things that maybe are a little bit not so scientific.
00:27:02.480
Something about scientists using alien DNA to deprogram people's religions or something along those lines.
00:27:11.520
So, anyway, the critics have a perfectly good case to say that you have to look at her as a whole before you incorporate her opinions.
00:27:23.540
But she does not represent all the other doctors.
00:27:30.840
But I will note that CNN is bashing the only black female doctor in the group.
00:27:41.180
Here's an interesting thought, according to me.
00:27:45.100
Which of the things that Democrats most complain about Trump have they not become?
00:27:52.500
And I'll include Biden as part of who they've become.
00:27:57.100
So, I'm going to read a list of things that they said that Democrats have been saying about Trump
00:28:01.740
as the reasons they desperately need to replace him.
00:28:09.060
Tell me which one of these do not clearly apply to the Democrats.
00:28:32.060
Now, I'm not saying there are no bullies on the right.
00:28:36.100
I'm saying that their whole thrust of Joe Biden as their candidate is that he's the one
00:28:43.800
So, they're trying to get rid of Trump to replace it with a situation and a candidate which is
00:28:52.980
So, I'd say bully certainly applies to the left.
00:29:03.220
The right might question some kind of science and data.
00:29:06.560
The left might question other science and data.
00:29:11.420
They're just questioning other science and data.
00:29:14.600
Now, I'm not talking about hydroxychloroquine in particular, although that's certainly in
00:29:23.160
If they followed the numbers of the experts, if they looked at the experts, what they say
00:29:27.700
about nuclear energy, et cetera, they'd have a different opinion.
00:29:32.940
So, I'd say that you could say both sides, depending on the topic, could be anti-science
00:29:39.480
But it's not going to help you to pick the other one that's just like it.
00:29:46.500
I would say the Democrats have become full racist at this point.
00:29:52.300
And I don't think that's even worthy of discussion.
00:30:00.700
They would talk about the president would bring chaos.
00:30:08.680
What are the Democrats bringing us besides chaos?
00:30:21.260
Doesn't that seem like the Democrats at the moment?
00:30:26.040
They wouldn't even listen to Schellenberger, at least some of it.
00:30:30.480
So, wouldn't you say they appear uninterested in solutions?
00:30:39.200
If the only thing they're talking about is improving school and school choice so that
00:30:44.020
everybody can get a good education, then I'd say they're very interested in solutions.
00:30:49.040
But if they're talking about their lowest priority for the black community, the lowest,
00:30:53.900
the dead last priority in terms of number of people affected and how badly it affects them would be police killing of black suspects.
00:31:06.280
Even if everything said about it is true, and I think you'd have to look at the statistics and you'd have some questions,
00:31:12.800
but even if it were all true, it would still be the smallest problem in the entire black community, wouldn't it?
00:31:21.800
If you solved whatever problems people see in black suspects being stopped by police,
00:31:29.000
let's say you solved it in whatever way you do that.
00:31:40.880
Suppose you fixed education so that every black kid, every poor kid, every kid has a solid education.
00:31:54.520
Because if you can afford a better lawyer and you're driving a better car and, you know,
00:32:01.540
the statistical reality has changed so that if a cop pulls over a member of, you know,
00:32:08.920
the black community or any underserved community, the police in their head thinks, same as everybody else.
00:32:15.200
The odds of this person pulling a gun on me, the odds of a crime, about the same as everybody else.
00:32:20.120
If you fix school, you have demonstrated that you are interested in fixing the biggest problems with systemic racism.
00:32:30.160
Now, when I say fix, I'm talking in the way that the doctors have cure.
00:32:39.420
You can only create a situation where the citizens are hardened against it,
00:32:46.680
They can slice through it like a hot knife through butter.
00:32:50.120
It's still there, but you can just slice through it.
00:32:59.300
How about Trump has money motives and he's doing it for money.
00:33:06.160
I don't think anybody believes that anymore, do they?
00:33:10.120
In the beginning, people were saying that, but it just seems so ludicrous that Trump is doing it for the money.
00:33:23.460
But it does appear that the Democrats have some money motives, if you know what I mean.
00:33:27.940
How about being aligned with foreign adversaries?
00:33:31.440
You know, there was the whole Trump-Russia collusion thing.
00:33:35.000
But clearly, Biden is probably beholden to China.
00:33:51.560
Worse, really, because being beholden to China would be a far worse thing than being beholden to Russia at this point, in my opinion.
00:34:06.700
I counted five lies in Biden's little press conference, and I only watched, like, five minutes of it.
00:34:16.460
And there were obvious ones, like the president held his Bible upside down that time.
00:34:29.760
And so Biden is one of the most lying politicians of all time.
00:34:34.620
You know, he's literally famous for lying about his own resume, about his degrees he's gotten in college.
00:34:46.840
Whether or not they think Biden is better than Trump on policy, the thing they've been saying is not policy for the last few years.
00:34:54.480
The thing they've been saying, mostly, is that it's something about Trump himself.
00:34:59.820
And then they're trying to replace him by, replace that problem by becoming all of those things themselves.
00:35:12.920
Pointed out on Twitter that I had predicted, and I think this was probably 20 years ago I predicted this,
00:35:18.640
that the media would start assassinating people on live TV for entertainment.
00:35:22.520
Now, that hasn't happened, but there is a docu-series on Netflix about how the media changes the result of high-profile trials.
00:35:36.140
Now, if the media can change the outcome of a trial, which is, I guess, the claim of this docu-series,
00:35:46.660
But it is sort of the media putting people in jail for ratings.
00:35:58.980
Shout out to Greg Gutfeld, whose book, The Plus, is just out.
00:36:04.920
And he got a presidential retweet for his book.
00:36:09.660
I would like to speak for all authors in the world who have never gotten a Trump retweet on their book.
00:36:39.680
One of the guys, I guess an Antifa or a protester guy, set fire at a Portland Justice Center.
00:36:50.260
It turns out he had his name tattooed on his back.
00:37:03.940
And then he committed a crime with his shirt off.
00:37:12.600
He tattooed his frickin' name on his back and then committed a major federal crime with his shirt off in front of...
00:37:23.880
Are you as disgusted as I am as watching the people on the right say that the protests are violent, because some of it is, while the people on the left are saying the protests are peaceful, because some of it is?
00:37:45.080
We're not even going to say things that the audience even slightly believes is true.
00:37:49.880
You know, what is true is that there's some peaceful stuff that is, of course, creating a shield for the unpeaceful stuff.
00:38:00.860
Now, if you say to yourself, Scott, Scott, Scott, 90% of them, or even higher, are perfectly peaceful and they have no intention of harming anything.
00:38:09.240
But they are marching with the people who do have the intention of harming anything, and they know that it provides them cover.
00:38:18.540
In my opinion, that makes them all violent, because they're at least supporting the violent people by creating numbers.
00:38:27.680
Now, could they stop the violent people if they wanted to?
00:38:30.760
In other words, could all the peaceful people, do they have enough numbers that if they wanted to, they could just physically stop the violent ones?
00:38:41.460
Yeah, yeah, of course, because they have the numbers, but they don't.
00:38:46.140
So if they don't stop it, it's pretty close to supporting it.
00:38:51.700
And so I would take the view that the protests are violent and people supporting them through the choices that they're making,
00:39:01.520
and consciously supporting them through the choices, not as their main intention, but they're conscious that they're doing it.
00:39:08.900
They're conscious that that's an effect of what they're doing.
00:39:16.500
You may have seen a video early on when Minneapolis first started flaring up, and before the first fire was started,
00:39:24.920
there was a suspicious person with an umbrella who set fire, broke a window and set fire.
00:39:30.860
I think he just broke windows so other people could set fire, of an auto zone.
00:39:35.640
And that auto zone became the first thing that sparked other fires and stuff and got bad.
00:39:42.340
And so there was much interest about who was that strange person?
00:39:50.060
And now CNN has the following story, unconfirmed.
00:39:58.640
And now think about the fact that it's unconfirmed.
00:40:04.640
I don't have a name, but this person who is unnamed
00:40:08.060
is considered associated with the Aryan Cowboys.
00:40:14.180
Which the Anti-Defamation League lists as a white supremacist prison and street gang.
00:40:22.600
The warrant does not label them as a white supremacist group,
00:40:29.020
known prison gang out of Minnesota and Kentucky.
00:40:32.600
On its Facebook page, the group says it does not care about a person's color.
00:40:36.800
So the group that they're labeling a white supremacist group
00:40:41.700
has a Facebook page saying that they are not concerned with color.
00:40:52.340
My guess is that what they mean when they say they're not concerned about a person's color
00:41:00.100
You know, they just want to keep to themselves and don't want to be bothered.
00:41:07.380
Which is different from being a white supremacist.
00:41:20.920
Isn't it really convenient that the guy who sparked all the trouble
00:41:35.580
Isn't this exactly the kind of story that you would find out later is fake?
00:41:42.120
Because it looks exactly like a story that you're going to later find out is fake.
00:41:48.580
Could it be that this Aryan Cowboy was so clever and so racist
00:41:54.680
they thought it would be a good idea to make the protests worse?
00:42:02.460
Or did he just have a thing about the auto zones?
00:42:05.580
It's entirely possible it was just a guy who was mad at the auto zone
00:42:08.920
because he got fired from there or something, right?
00:42:17.940
Yeah, Aryan Cowboy sounds too good to be true, doesn't it?
00:42:25.620
That if there's a story that's a little too perfect
00:42:35.580
The other fake news we're seeing a lot of today
00:42:43.420
I think some of the Democrats in Congress were saying this
00:42:52.940
So they're not arresting people, they're kidnapping them.
00:43:04.520
who doesn't appear to be doing anything dangerous at the moment
00:43:08.840
Now, as someone who is smarter than me explained,
00:43:25.540
In other words, they waited until it was the safest time
00:43:28.820
to pick up the person that they'd been watching.
00:44:27.000
I saw locally that it looked like a parents group
00:44:33.900
might be organizing to get kids back to school.
00:44:56.700
Because I don't know what your world looks like.
00:45:00.000
I'm sure you have complete control over your children
00:45:02.620
and they never resist and they never get what they want.
00:45:25.500
Yeah, I think the kids do want to go back to school
00:45:32.620
Because if the kids get activated, it's all over.
00:45:41.340
Now, I think that this might be a gigantic opportunity
00:45:45.900
with getting maybe some more freedom of choice in school.
00:45:58.720
Can they collectively rally to get voting rights?
00:46:08.060
So I'm waiting to see if anything happens from the public.
00:46:11.280
Now, the other illegitimate reporting I'm seeing
00:46:20.800
And it's the conversation of what is the danger
00:46:59.960
So it's hard for me to side with people on the right
00:47:45.860
If you're willing to say there are three risks,
00:48:03.020
you all know that you've got to keep grandma safe.
00:48:26.960
If you're looking to either the left or the right
00:48:29.400
and they don't explicitly mention all three risks,
00:48:38.000
and nobody honest will ignore any one of the three.
00:48:42.400
Nobody honest will ignore any of those three things
00:48:46.980
So if you see somebody who ignores any one of the three,
00:48:52.760
It doesn't matter if it's the left or the right.
00:49:15.120
But I do think that the benefit of getting back to normal,
00:49:19.600
of getting the kids into a healthier situation,
00:49:24.460
I do think that's worth some tens of thousands of deaths,
00:49:42.640
I don't think you should be in the conversation.
00:49:50.760
when we're watching these social media companies,
00:50:00.160
by telling you what medical advice you can and cannot say.
00:50:04.580
So now the social media companies control our minds
