00:00:35.400
ceremony it's a bonding thing you feel closer to people all around the world yeah that's that's
00:00:42.600
how important it is and all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass a tank or chalice or stein a canteen
00:00:47.280
jug or flask a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid i like coffee and join me now for
00:00:57.280
the unparalleled pleasure the dopamine hit of the day the thing that makes everything better except
00:01:06.740
i can feel the election getting more accurate every moment
00:01:17.920
all right let's talk about all the things many things are happening and we shall discuss them
00:01:24.480
um i guess the border patrol seized enough fentanyl at our border to kill 200 000 people
00:01:35.040
that's right there was enough fentanyl in one shipment to kill 200 000 people of course it comes from china
00:01:44.780
and i would like to reiterate my call for ending relations with china until they execute their
00:01:54.840
fentanyl dealers now the china knows who their fentanyl dealers are we have named them they know who
00:02:01.280
they are they know where they live etc and apparently they're allowed to be operating continually without
00:02:08.640
any penalty and i think china can do what they want to do but we should do what we want to do
00:02:14.240
which is uh send all of their diplomats home so what i would do is i would actually and i recommend
00:02:22.140
this send 100 of china's diplomats home until they can show us that they've arrested and stopped the
00:02:30.820
fentanyl and if after 30 days you know give them 30 days to do that send all their diplomats home after 30 days
00:02:39.100
and then wait another 30 days and if they still haven't corrected that um should send all of their
00:02:46.680
students home so i don't know how many students are physically attending college in the united states
00:02:52.660
during coronavirus but they we should just send them all home just every one of them and don't make it
00:03:00.960
personal because it doesn't have to be it's just business if you're sending us fentanyl we're sending you
00:03:08.480
back all of your diplomats if if you continue doing it we'll send you back all of your students
00:03:15.560
we don't want to it's not our first choice but it's not like they're giving us much choice
00:03:23.680
and it would be extra delicious to uh for president trump to bind biden to whatever whatever trump does
00:03:33.920
before he leaves office with china how in the world are we ever going to trust joe biden to negotiate
00:03:41.400
with china it doesn't even feel like a thing does it is there anything that joe biden could negotiate
00:03:48.800
with china that would make at least half of the country say oh yeah that looks like a pretty good
00:03:53.800
deal i think joe biden pushed them as hard as he could probably got the maximum deal that you could
00:04:00.240
get out of china literally nobody will think that and half the country will think it's treason
00:04:06.320
so i don't know how biden can um win with what all the smart people say is the biggest issue with
00:04:15.860
the united states going forward which is how do you deal with an emerging china so we'll talk about
00:04:23.260
that a little bit more um i always hear that people say that masks don't work claim lots of people
00:04:30.840
and they say but show me the proof if you believe that masks work show me the study oh oh there's no
00:04:38.820
study oh scott you don't have any studies oh so this morning there was a study showing that masks
00:04:46.280
do work according to one study now if you watch my periscopes or my live streams on youtube you know
00:04:54.740
that i always warn you that studies um studies even studies that look like they're well done at first
00:05:02.220
maybe 50 50 chance that they're real at most i would say when you hear that a study proved whatever
00:05:11.280
sort of a coin flip you know a study proved maybe 50 likely that it could be uh reproduced but the study
00:05:21.860
says masks work and the way they looked at it was they looked at people who were handling uh
00:05:28.900
coronavirus people they looked at people who wore masks they compared them to the people who did not
00:05:34.520
to which i say wait there were people handling handling coronavirus who didn't wear masks
00:05:40.980
what so i don't know how you get that group of people who didn't wear masks but apparently they exist
00:05:48.580
and they studied them and they found that the the people who didn't wear the masks had substantially
00:05:54.180
higher infections and again it's one study 50 chance that any study is true but let me let me just uh
00:06:05.220
wrap it up this way i don't think you should believe that study or any other study um you know in in
00:06:14.100
isolation you need you need a body of work before you should believe something but those saying there
00:06:20.180
are no studies i would like to add that there are so now there's at least one so you can't say there
00:06:28.580
are no studies but you can certainly say you don't believe them uh media matters came after me
00:06:35.780
you were probably waiting for that weren't you what took them so long so media matters uh seems to have
00:06:43.220
uh put me in their crosshairs i'm on the radar you might say if you don't know who media matters
00:06:50.900
is it's a left-leaning disreputable website where they make lots of claims against trump supporters
00:06:59.060
etc so here's how they went after me they in their article they note that i and a number of other people
00:07:06.980
i think laura ingram was in there but we were accused of uh retweeting a tweet from someone who
00:07:16.500
had made uh tweets that they think are racist in the past so media matters is calling me out by name
00:07:26.100
writing a big article to associate me with a website that has made what they consider offensive and or
00:07:35.700
racist um tweets in the past now how many people um who use twitter think that that's a thing
00:07:49.300
that's not a thing yeah i think media matters is confusing facebook with twitter let me explain this
00:07:56.180
to media matters um if i'm on facebook and i do decide to friend a white supremacist well that's
00:08:06.740
something you should probably worry about you might even write an article about it oh my goodness somebody
00:08:14.020
friended a racist and i think that could be part of a conversation i would say that's not nothing
00:08:22.340
right you know your associations are part of the story right but twitter isn't facebook if i retweet you
00:08:38.660
if you retweet content from somebody's twitter feed you're not really becoming their friend
00:08:45.940
it doesn't have that meaning it's just the content so uh the way that media matters turns a nothing
00:08:54.020
into a something is by assuming that people don't use twitter enough to understand that retweeting
00:09:01.940
something doesn't mean anything it has no meaning it doesn't mean you know it doesn't mean you researched
00:09:09.700
the original tweeter it doesn't mean that it means you looked at the content and you said oh that's
00:09:16.340
some content that my followers should see you or might like that's it that's the twitter model you do
00:09:23.700
not acquire the reputation of people you retweet and let me explain it this way if you acquired the
00:09:31.140
reputation of the people you retweeted how could you even understand your world it would mean everybody
00:09:39.620
on twitter who's retweeting they're acquiring everybody's reputation and you wouldn't know who
00:09:44.660
anybody was at that point let me tell you uh what percentage of people i retweet who i would consider
00:09:54.420
horrible in at least one way okay so if if this site i i retweeted has some bad retweets in their past
00:10:04.260
let's say for my my conversation that they're horrible in at least one way that doesn't mean
00:10:11.540
they're mean to pets right it means that they're horrible in exactly one way allegedly i don't know
00:10:19.460
myself but allegedly they're horrible in this one way how many people have i retweeted in my lifetime
00:10:32.260
all of them every one of them you know i'm pretty sure if i dug into your private lives
00:10:41.300
oh i'd find something i'd find something even if you're 99 lovely you could be delightful people
00:10:49.220
pretty much law-abiding you could be all of that but i'll bet i can find at least one thing you've all
00:10:57.460
done that's pretty bad that one thing so do i acquire all of your mistakes if i retweet you do i pick up
00:11:07.460
all of your flaws do they become part of me because i retweeted you so media matters is silly and we're
00:11:16.420
going to ignore them um i would also like to point out and i will return to this point often i think
00:11:24.180
that a lot of what we've um in society we've decided to label as racist is better described as offensive
00:11:34.820
because people can be offensive intentionally they can be offensive unintentionally without being racist
00:11:40.820
would you agree that that statement is true that you could be offensive both both intentionally and
00:11:49.540
sometimes accidentally without necessarily being a racist right so if you look at a lot of the claims
00:11:57.780
you'll find that the claims fall into that category of being offensive but clearly not racist and i think
00:12:05.940
that we should make that distinction really really clear because it would solve 70 percent of our
00:12:10.980
problems did i offend you oh i'm sorry that wasn't the point the point was not to offend you it's my
00:12:19.860
opinion but i don't mean it to offend you so i think you can apologize for being offensive even if it's an
00:12:27.220
accident why not you're we're social people we live in the world we try to get along you should certainly
00:12:35.140
certainly apologize for accidentally offending somebody that doesn't mean you won't do it again
00:12:42.580
doesn't mean they own you it doesn't mean you're a bad person but sure apologies are good social
00:12:48.740
lubricant i think they're appropriate quite often uh rasmussen has uh shared some information that i think will
00:12:56.980
be available to the rest of you today sometime that apparently opinions about china are uh worsening
00:13:04.900
where uh now sixty percent of americans think that china should pay some kind of reparations or
00:13:11.780
something because of the coronavirus and that's that's up from uh what
00:13:18.420
42 percent that's pretty big pretty big change but here's the part that got my interest 33 percent
00:13:28.980
of americans now consider china an enemy of the united states what do you think that was in march of 2018
00:13:36.820
so it's 33 percent think china is an enemy today what was it two years ago 18 so it went from 18 percent
00:13:47.060
of americans thought china is an enemy to 33 percent do you know what happened in 2018
00:13:54.340
that's when china killed my stepson with fentanyl and it was the time that i uh promised you i was going to
00:14:03.540
take china down now of course i've been uh talking crap about china for two years and uh probably just
00:14:16.260
a coincidence that that turned out to be the high point of china's goodwill with the united states
00:14:23.540
and it has gone straight down since then now it could be could be that there are a lot more voices
00:14:32.820
talking out against china and of course the coronavirus is probably the biggest deal that's happening in that
00:14:38.260
regard but uh i would like to say that i am part of the productive change in opinion from uh china being
00:14:46.980
our frenemy to being our enemy and i would consider them our enemy as of today well since 2018 in my case
00:14:57.140
all right um black lives matter founder co-founder has made it clear to biden that uh black lives matter
00:15:09.060
expects something because they they say that they helped to get the black vote for biden and they want
00:15:14.420
something in return they want something in return but luckily joe biden is no president trump so when
00:15:24.100
black lives matter says we'd like to get something in return they can depend on joe biden to come through
00:15:31.060
just the way democrats have been coming through for the black population for decades for example here
00:15:37.940
are some of the important things that joe biden has promised the black community and i think they
00:15:43.220
could be pretty happy about this pretty happy because you'd think hey i wonder if the democrats will
00:15:49.700
once again make promises and do basically nothing unlike president trump who literally promised nothing
00:16:00.180
and did a whole bunch of things everything from the platinum plan to special opportunity zones and
00:16:07.060
funding the hb the historically black colleges to prison reform so the president he didn't promise
00:16:14.340
anything he said what the hell do you have to lose that's as little as you can promise that's
00:16:19.380
no promise and he delivered what even even his uh critics grudgingly say okay gotta admit that's a lot of
00:16:28.900
stuff so president trump delivered for the the black population in this country even including his
00:16:35.940
critics agree but biden can take that up a level so he's made some promises and let me tell you what
00:16:41.700
he's promised and uh this is nothing to sneeze at so biden has promised that as president he would
00:16:50.820
create a police oversight board to combat police brutality especially against black and minority
00:16:57.620
people within the first hundred days in the white house so if you were worried that biden was going to do
00:17:03.540
nothing nothing don't worry anymore because he's gonna put together a police oversight board i don't know why
00:17:12.580
nobody thought of that before put together a little committee huh how about that yeah so i think the black
00:17:20.500
population is pretty happy about that because nobody ever promised to put a meeting together
00:17:27.220
but that's not all there's way more than that uh biden has also promised to create an economic plan
00:17:35.220
that provides housing education and financial support those are all good things housing education
00:17:41.540
financial support this is good stuff that joe biden is is planning to give um and he says as
00:17:47.700
financial support to the black and latino communities who have been disproportionately affected by the
00:17:53.300
coronavirus pandemic wait what am i reading this correctly that joe biden is going to give uh emergency relief
00:18:03.300
based on your race does does is that actually happening joe biden decided that your race would determine
00:18:13.940
how much uh emergency support you get isn't that the opposite of what a president should do
00:18:23.300
that's like exactly the opposite isn't it shouldn't the president make sure that everybody who's in
00:18:29.940
trouble during a pandemic gets help sort of close to equal amount of help now i don't know if this is
00:18:39.460
talking about an equal amount of help or some kind of special help if what it's getting at is an equal
00:18:46.020
amount of help i'm all for it but it doesn't sound like that does it so joe biden's got some promises
00:18:53.220
he needs to keep uh i think he has duped the black voters as the democrats have been doing for years
00:19:01.220
but successfully looks like he got away with it um if you're wondering what the future holds for this
00:19:07.460
recount business with the election do you wonder how it's going to turn out is it going to turn out
00:19:14.340
that the election is overturned seems highly unlikely doesn't it or is it going to turn out that uh there's
00:19:21.060
just not really much fraud there or maybe a little bit of fraud but not enough to change anything don't
00:19:27.300
you wonder how it's all going to turn out well i'm going to narrow the options for you there's one
00:19:33.860
potential outcome that i think doesn't have any chance of being true here are the ones that do have
00:19:40.420
a chance of being true one is that there is a little bit of fraud some anecdotes but the election
00:19:47.780
stance would you agree that it's at least possible right you might think that that's unlikely because
00:19:55.060
you think the election was stolen or something but would you agree it's possible i mean it's possible
00:20:01.620
that you look into it you don't find much right it's it's still possible even though we'll talk about
00:20:09.300
sydney powell and the voting machines and we'll talk about all the allegations and the strange data i'll get
00:20:14.900
to that but at this point it's still possible right that they could look into it and not find much
00:20:24.580
would you agree or no because i'm interested if you would at least agree that it's possible
00:20:31.300
even if you think the odds are pretty low so i'd say it's possible here's the other possibility
00:20:37.060
that we find that the there's not only fraud but there's massive fraud throughout the election system
00:20:46.180
so much so that maybe we've never had a fair election now do you think that's possible you
00:20:54.100
don't have to put an odds on it yet just say is there any possibility that when when we do these audits
00:21:01.460
and look into it that what we discover is it's not just bad it's so bad that we couldn't even imagine
00:21:09.380
how bad it was i mean it's like unimaginably corrupt do you think that's even possible
00:21:16.740
is there any chance that it's so corrupt that we didn't even have a democracy or a public and we
00:21:24.500
thought we did is it possible i think it is i think it is i don't know what odds to put on it
00:21:31.940
but i'd say that's possible so those are the two things that i'd say are are possible we find out
00:21:38.660
there always has been massive fraud including this time we find out that things have actually been pretty
00:21:44.740
good not much fraud at all i'd say that's possible um but are there any any possibilities that uh
00:21:57.300
that don't exist i think the possibility that um
00:22:05.780
the the possibility well there let me let me get to my biggest point
00:22:19.860
really much chance that they're not going to find massive fraud do you if you want to go further
00:22:26.500
and put some odds on it i would say the what's going to happen is that some people who have an
00:22:34.260
idea about the country they live in and the their reality is going to change a lot all right so
00:22:42.420
in my case if i were to learn that despite the fact that these elections are full of holes
00:22:49.460
meaning there are lots of opportunities to cheat we'll talk about those too
00:22:53.460
but i can't understand any world in which lots of people are involved there's a huge upside potential
00:23:00.420
for cheating lots of ways to do it and that it doesn't happen in a major way so my my understanding
00:23:10.660
of reality will be completely destroyed if it turns out that the right people look into it and don't find
00:23:19.140
anything and don't find anything significant anyway my whole life understanding of people
00:23:26.100
how the world works uh how big systems work how big organizations work literally the thing i spend my
00:23:33.300
life writing about i would all be wrong about all of that it would completely annihilate
00:23:41.540
my understanding of reality so that could happen here's the other possibility
00:23:48.820
all the people who think that they've been living in a democracy slash republic with something like fair
00:23:55.380
elections it's never happened it's possible we've never had a fair election in fact if i had to put odds
00:24:06.500
on it when i say never you know people get caught up on the absolutes so let me pull it back from an
00:24:14.260
absolute it doesn't mean that the person who got the most voter support never won because i'm sure that
00:24:21.380
sometimes people win even if the other side cheats that's probably happening but i would bet
00:24:28.180
i would bet that pretty much all of our major elections anything that involves a city at least
00:24:38.180
probably corrupt and maybe always have them and maybe we just don't know so i think that's the big
00:24:44.420
uh reality twist that's coming we shall see um as the dilbert guy the guy who writes about big
00:24:53.620
organizations and what people do in big organizations the election is like a big organization and if i'm wrong
00:25:01.620
about this uh my my whole career is sort of a joke because all i write about is how when there's a big
00:25:11.220
organization bad stuff happens every time it doesn't sometimes happen it's every time every single
00:25:19.540
time all right um there's some research on uh mouthwash that apparently there's some kind of mouthwash
00:25:30.820
that has this particular ingredient uh which watch me now try to pronounce it
00:25:37.940
settle periodidium serapidil periodidium i think i nailed it if you've got that
00:25:45.620
serapidil periodidium chloride in your mouthwash it it has promising signs of reducing covid so i use
00:25:54.660
mouthwash several times a day but i have to check if i have that if i have that ingredient by the way
00:26:01.060
if you smoke marijuana and do mouthwash directly afterwards it gets rid of your munchies that's a little tip
00:26:09.380
for you so it so if i get coronavirus uh that would be a miracle because i use a lot of mouthwash
00:26:16.900
all right um does it seem to you that joe biden sort of evolved into that guy who complains at every
00:26:25.300
meeting that there's no plan have you been have you worked for a big organization or even a small one
00:26:32.340
there's always somebody at the meeting whose only comment is going to be that there is no plan where's
00:26:39.540
the plan or where's our strategy same thing where's our plan i think joe biden became that where's the
00:26:47.220
plan guy because he keeps complaining that the president has no plan to distribute the vaccine
00:26:55.780
do you think that's true the president assigned the top logistics guy in the military to make a plan
00:27:03.060
all right so this is the part we know is true the trump picked the top logistics guy in the military
00:27:09.780
to make a plan to figure out how to get all these vaccines to people in the quickest time joe biden says
00:27:18.020
there's no plan which of those do you think is true do you think if the top military guy who's in
00:27:25.540
charge of logistics and he's literally charged with saving the country that's his job the guy whose job
00:27:33.860
it is to get those vaccines to people he's he's saving how many lives will he save if he does a
00:27:39.940
good job so joe biden thinks that guy isn't doing it right that's what joe biden says there's no plan
00:27:48.500
i got a feeling that if you assigned a logistics job the most important one in the country there's
00:27:56.420
nothing else going on that's that important for logistics is there nothing even close so it's the
00:28:02.340
most important goal given to exactly the right person the logistics guy in the military it's
00:28:10.660
the military this isn't wally it's not like you give an assignment to somebody in a cubicle and they
00:28:17.460
tell you a week later they were busy and they didn't get around to it it's the military when the commander
00:28:23.540
chief tells somebody in the military to give me a plan for logistics i'm pretty sure they're making a
00:28:29.300
plan just because joe biden hasn't seen it that doesn't make it not a plan um i think it's hilarious
00:28:36.500
that uh kamala harris is getting security briefings because she's a senator but uh biden does not so so
00:28:44.820
you already see it happening that joe biden is already being left out of decisions not exactly but but
00:28:52.180
you can see like the first hint of it oh yeah we're giving security briefings to kamala harris
00:28:59.380
but there's a reason it's not because joe biden isn't the real president we have a reason it's
00:29:05.380
because she's a senator and you know he's not an elected official so the president has to give him that
00:29:12.580
authority and he hasn't so it makes sense but i'm kind of wondering will we see other examples in
00:29:19.380
which the vice president knows more than the the president elect um
00:29:29.460
joe biden is also what i call the angry obvious guy
00:29:34.180
he likes to say obvious things that just don't have any new new information in them it's just
00:29:40.900
obviously what anybody would do but if he says it with an angry condescending voice he sounds like
00:29:49.060
a leader um so let me give you uh give you an example here's one of his tweets and i'm going
00:29:56.980
to read it two different ways uh one is the way a normal person would talk all right and then i'll
00:30:03.620
give you the joe biden angry obvious guy talk okay so here here's without any effects his tweet said
00:30:11.940
right now congress should come together and pass coven relief package like the heroes act
00:30:16.900
that the house passed six months ago once we shut down the virus and deliver economic relief to
00:30:22.500
workers and businesses then we can build back better than ever before sounds reasonable right
00:30:30.100
completely reasonable thing uh democrats want a relief bill republicans want a relief bill
00:30:36.900
we all understand it could be important to getting our economy going a very reasonable tweet wouldn't you
00:30:42.980
say but if he were saying this in person he would do it in angry obvious guy voice to make it sound
00:30:49.620
more leaderly and it would go like this right now congress should come together
00:30:58.180
and pass a covid relief package like the heroes act
00:31:05.220
that the house passed six months ago six months ago six months ago people folks six months ago they passed
00:31:17.220
and nothing and once we shut down the virus and deliver economic relief economic relief
00:31:38.980
see how that turned into leaderly talk just by getting angry and excited about ordinary words
00:31:47.460
he does that well all right um i tweeted humorously that um reading twitter lately
00:31:56.980
about all the election fraud techniques it's like getting a prison education if you had asked me two
00:32:04.100
weeks ago scott can you name all the ways that an election could be rigged i would say well you
00:32:10.900
know i haven't thought about it but if i make a list uh let's see i'll make a list i got uh yeah i got
00:32:18.340
two or three things that would be ways to rig an election but i feel like now i have a lot of them
00:32:27.860
if you ever want to throw an election in a third world country and you're wondering what technique
00:32:33.860
to use you could just ask me because i picked up quite a bit of technique in the the past couple of
00:32:40.340
weeks let me give you a few examples and let me say that these are techniques which are alleged
00:32:48.100
if you ask me they all look a little sketchy because if it's really this easy to cheat
00:32:57.140
then people have some real big surprises coming so i'd like to think that it's not really this easy
00:33:04.020
but here are the allegations one of them is you could take a pile of ballots let's say for one
00:33:10.260
candidate all the votes are for one candidate you can feed it into the counting machine and then just
00:33:16.980
pick up the ballots and feed them through a second time or a third time or a fourth time now it is
00:33:23.700
alleged that that's a real thing somebody says they saw it happen but there's a part of me that says
00:33:33.540
really really the system is so insecure that you can just take the same bunch of ballots and just feed
00:33:40.900
it through a second time and nobody catches that now i have a little bit of trouble believing it's true
00:33:47.460
because it feels a little too easy but it's alleged how about this one dead people voting that's probably
00:33:55.700
universally true but i doubt that dead people alone will be some kind of a big change to our election
00:34:02.660
outcome um here's a trick that i'd never heard of before but it's a clever one when unsolicited ballots
00:34:11.060
are being mailed out they just send a whole bunch of extra ballots to democrats and they
00:34:17.140
send republicans one so if you're a republican and you requested a ballot you get your one ballot
00:34:24.820
and you think the world is good what do you know you requested one ballot you got one ballot you filled
00:34:30.740
it out you're a happy republican you're a democrat you requested one ballot perhaps you get five of them
00:34:38.980
and you say to yourself huh i got five ballots what do you do well probably most people are honest and
00:34:48.900
they go i only needed one they throw the other four away but some people are going to fill out the other
00:34:55.140
ones you don't need everybody to fill out the extra ones you just need you know two percent and suddenly
00:35:02.660
you've got a race now that one is also alleged um anecdotally we've heard some stories about that
00:35:10.020
again i don't know how true it is it's an allegation um i've heard the allegation that there are lots of
00:35:16.660
people registered at the same addresses such that i guess you could just say you're different people
00:35:22.980
living at one address and you could get lots of ballots is that a big deal i don't know could be
00:35:29.140
um how about uh manually reading the ballots wrong so there's one allegation that uh i guess you know
00:35:39.140
there are different mechanisms and systems for counting uh votes but at one place it is alleged
00:35:45.060
that there's somebody who would have the ballot and would read it to the person who was inputting
00:35:49.620
and would say uh joe biden and then the person who was inputting would take it and was supposed to
00:35:55.060
double check it but you know there are a lot of ballots so they would just hear joe biden and they
00:36:01.700
would just type in biden and just put it in a pile without really checking that it really said joe biden
00:36:07.780
now there's some allegation that one of the uh the watchers saw them uh saying that the trump
00:36:15.940
ballots were really biden second person doesn't even look and just inputs biden and so it happened
00:36:22.420
multiple times so apparently the allegation is that one way you could cheat is just have the person
00:36:29.140
who's reading off the votes just say biden now is that the rock solid uh voting system with checks and
00:36:38.180
balances that you thought you had where somebody could just say uh says biden here yeah trust me yeah
00:36:45.060
this is biden right there that's it you can actually cheat that way are you kidding me all right
00:36:52.660
here's another way i heard and again i don't know if any of these are real these are just allegations
00:36:57.940
um i've heard that uh i think this was a philadelphia story if i remember correctly about
00:37:04.340
somebody asking whoever was running the polling station uh who should we talk to to drop off the blank
00:37:10.420
ballots blank ballots blank ballots so one way is just deliver pallets of blank ballots when it's time
00:37:18.740
to you know put your candidate ahead and all right so here's another one turning off the signature
00:37:26.660
matching so apparently there's electronic signature matching who knows how well that works i don't know
00:37:34.500
can you really electronically match a signature is that even a thing but let's say it is a thing
00:37:40.420
but you could just turn it off you could just go to the machine turn it off and then every every
00:37:46.900
ballot goes through when normally lots of them would get rejected lots of them might be three percent
00:37:52.660
as opposed to 0.03 but you could just turn it off but you but you could also turn down the sensitivity
00:38:01.540
because you've got a lot of work to do you don't want to be checking everything just because the
00:38:06.020
machine told you to so you could just turn down the sensitivity did you know that you could probably
00:38:13.780
dial the winner of the election just by how sensitive you made the signature check it could
00:38:20.100
be that easy to throw an election just go in there and go let's take 20 off the signature sensitivity
00:38:27.700
checking might be enough right now again i don't know that this happened these are all just allegations
00:38:35.540
and all the allegations are equal until they're not meaning that they're all unproven until they're proven
00:38:40.740
and then of course i haven't even mentioned the software system you know the dominion systems
00:38:47.780
so if you have software you have a million different ways
00:38:54.740
somebody says there's proof that there's no cheating because scott did not do this in 2016
00:38:59.460
well you know if the person you didn't expect to get elected gets elected uh you should check
00:39:08.420
don't you think you should check into that so if somebody had made the same claim in 2016 and i don't
00:39:15.220
remember it being made but if somebody had oh well i would have taken that seriously are you telling me
00:39:22.740
that i would believe that no republicans had ever tried to cheat in an election
00:39:30.980
how can you be seriously even considering that of course you you have to assume that both democrats
00:39:37.060
and republicans have cheated in elections at whatever scale i don't know but you have to assume it's both
00:39:44.660
so if there had been those accusations in 2016 i'd probably treat them the same way i'm treating
00:39:50.260
these which is well the allegations are just allegations should they be you know proven through the the
00:39:58.740
correct mechanisms i will treat them as facts but if the allegation had been made in 2016 i definitely
00:40:08.100
would not would not have ruled it out based on it being impossible on face value i wouldn't have done that
00:40:16.180
uh scott said about rigged in 2016 i don't know what that comment is
00:40:26.580
there's a whole uh industry of people rummaging through my old tweets and statements to try to find
00:40:32.660
an inconsistency it's a weird thing about being a public figure it happened you know even this morning
00:40:38.820
somebody produced some tweet that they imagined was inconsistent with something i say now but isn't of
00:40:45.140
course all right so sydney powell as you know super lawyer is making some really strong allegations
00:40:55.460
about this uh software and it's almost so crazy that you can't even describe it but apparently the
00:41:04.260
allegation is that she has a whistleblower a high level military person but i don't know military of
00:41:10.500
what country she doesn't say but somehow was present or had close personal knowledge of
00:41:18.580
this same software that we use for our elections being originally created for chavez in venezuela for
00:41:26.340
the purpose of throwing an election so the allegation is that it's designed to throw elections it's not
00:41:33.780
designed just to count elections that it's specifically designed to cheat on elections and that it was used
00:41:41.220
in venezuela effectively and other countries i think effectively and that now that same software
00:41:48.020
which was made allegedly to throw elections is the one we're using now here's the thing
00:41:56.420
you can it's easy to believe small allegations isn't it if somebody says oh somebody stole a loaf of bread
00:42:06.900
it might be true it might not be true but it's easy to believe it's easy to believe a person could steal a
00:42:12.820
loaf of bread but would you say something as big as this that the entire election system of the united
00:42:21.060
states the greatest uh alleged democracy in the history of the of civilization that our voting system
00:42:29.700
is completely fraudulent just completely fraudulent as in whoever has access to this feature that changes
00:42:37.620
votes is the only person who gets to determine the election that is such a big claim that your brain
00:42:45.940
can't process it and that's the problem the problem is that the claim is too big well you know i hate to
00:42:53.140
make uh analogies from uh hitler but was isn't there a gobble gobbles or gobbles or whoever it is
00:43:01.860
quote about the bigger the lie the more the more easily it can be believed so the big lie in this case
00:43:09.620
is that the election is that's fine it's all secure software is not a problem
00:43:16.180
who could hack software so that's the big lie that there's no problem with the elections and
00:43:22.100
uh and when you hear this allegation it too is so big that your brain can't even process it if if
00:43:33.060
tomorrow this story went away you would probably just stop thinking about it you would just stop
00:43:39.620
thinking about it as soon as the news stops reporting it you'll stop acting as if it were real
00:43:48.100
it's it's the weirdest psychological thing and here's the thing i don't know if it's real
00:43:54.100
i don't know i do know that if there's such a thing as a piece of software that you know various
00:44:01.460
different countries have their fingers in it somebody at least tried so wouldn't you say that
00:44:09.060
you could say with 100 certainty that various entities have certainly tried to mess with that
00:44:15.780
software i can say that with complete confidence because if if the cia has never tried to mess with
00:44:24.420
that software what the hell are they doing why are we paying them if they're not messing with that
00:44:29.540
software that software is used in other countries our intelligence services probably like every other
00:44:36.980
intelligence service is looking for ways to influence other countries of course look at their elections
00:44:43.220
of course so are you telling me our cia didn't at least try to use that software to at least try to
00:44:52.020
influence other countries if they didn't they all need to be fired likewise you know the intelligence
00:45:01.860
agencies of china and russia and great britain and israel and everywhere else if they haven't at least tried
00:45:08.980
to get in that software they all need to be fired that's exactly what you should be doing all day long
00:45:15.460
is trying to get into that in fact if there was anything else you were doing you should be fired
00:45:22.500
because you're not a very good spy if you're not working full-time trying to get into that software
00:45:29.060
now my guess if i had to guess is that that and again this is just based on knowing people
00:45:36.180
knowing motivations knowing people knowing large organizations knowing the job of intelligence
00:45:44.260
agencies and knowing that lots of time has gone by so just knowing those assumptions here's what i
00:45:51.300
believe that the software has not only been penetrated by bad bad entities but probably multiple
00:46:00.020
so for example there are probably more than one employee by now who's been placed in in these voting system
00:46:10.980
companies that are actually just agents of foreign companies foreign countries wouldn't you say that the
00:46:17.620
odds that they've at least tried to get people that they can influence on the inside a hundred percent
00:46:24.980
they've at least tried so by now since lots of time has gone by almost certainly they've succeeded and i would
00:46:34.020
say the same thing about these social media platforms the social media platforms by now should be
00:46:43.220
completely penetrated by all the major intelligence agencies or at least they've tried i would imagine
00:46:49.540
they've succeeded by now so to me it's almost unimaginable that the right people haven't tried and had enough
00:46:57.860
time to make a difference in any kind of a system so it's not an allegation about specifically dominion or
00:47:05.860
specifically anybody it's just when you have that set up it can only go one way it's not like there are two
00:47:13.940
different ways that this goes in the long run in the long run the intelligence agencies of course will
00:47:20.580
take control of voting systems they have to it'd be crazy for them not to that is their job
00:47:30.020
lynn wood who's also working on this issue working on the georgia recount he this is a guy who does
00:47:38.020
defamation lawsuits for a living and he said this in one of his comments and he said that he's very
00:47:44.420
careful about defaming people in public because it's what he does for a living is defending people who
00:47:50.100
got defamed in public and he said still that he's willing to say in public that the governor of georgia
00:47:57.140
is crooked and that the election was stolen that is pretty direct isn't it now do you think that's true do
00:48:06.340
you think that lynn wood with all the connections that lynn wood has would know for sure whether georgia
00:48:15.220
is a corrupt political situation do you think he'd know now whether he could prove it or not is the
00:48:21.380
separate question but do you think just as a person do you think he knows i feel like he probably does
00:48:29.620
because there probably aren't too many people who have more access to you know behind the scenes and how
00:48:34.980
things really work than a high-powered you know government kind of lawyer so i think lynn woods probably
00:48:43.060
knows but you know i'm not going to make an allegation because i don't want to be sued but he's somebody who
00:48:49.940
would know and that's a pretty direct allegation so i think what you're going to find and here's the the
00:48:57.940
the big red pill that the country is getting ready to take if i had to put money on it uh and i did actually
00:49:06.020
so let me correct that i did put money on it so i do have bets that we will discover that the election is fraudulent
00:49:15.940
fraudulent now the bet is in the form of thinking that some of the states will be reversed so i've got
00:49:24.180
some bets about some of the states being reversed which would indicate fraud all right so here's what
00:49:33.780
i think i think that the country is going to learn that our entire voting system is uh corrupted
00:49:42.660
and when i say the entire system i don't mean oh it's just the software nope i think we're going to find
00:49:50.900
it's literally everything i think it's going to be soup to nuts i think we're going to find the software is
00:49:57.300
completely corrupted uh i think that we will find that the physical ballots are completely corrupted and i think
00:50:04.500
we'll find that the whoever does the counting and the way they organize the count is completely corrupted
00:50:10.500
my guess is that it is corrupted from top to bottom and really corrupted and i and i think that what this
00:50:18.980
country needs is some kind of a government in a box for the local the local part i feel like the country
00:50:27.540
needs some kind of a federal option where you could go to the go to the people in the town and say all
00:50:34.260
right detroit just picking detroit to pick on for a moment you citizens we're going to give you a
00:50:40.180
federal election that will not be managed by your locals and this federal election will ask you one
00:50:46.820
question would you like a government in a box for two years i'll just pick a random time if they say yes
00:50:55.540
and that's the federal government does the election not the locals if they say yes the federal government
00:51:00.980
comes in and for two years they replace the entire local government so all of the the corruption and the
00:51:08.180
bribes and everything stop because there's nobody to bribe anymore it's it's these federal people
00:51:14.180
government in a box and they're not going to stay that long and then it cleans everything up sets up a
00:51:21.460
credible government and then takes off after two years i feel like we might need it
00:51:27.700
uh you know i can't say that's a a well-developed idea so there might be some problems with that but
00:51:38.660
but it looks to me like as long as the cities can throw the national elections and it looks like
00:51:44.980
that's what's happening city governments doing that the locals um i don't know how we can have a good
00:51:51.220
government so we almost have to be able to have some mechanism to dismantle um corrupt city governments
00:52:00.100
according to lou dobbs the fbi is looking into the election but we don't know about that if the fbi is
00:52:05.060
looking into it that would suggest they have at least enough evidence to look into it
00:52:10.740
newt gingrich agreed with my tweet and as did others i asked the question why is it that uh it's not
00:52:23.060
considered a hate crime when trump supporters are attacked for simply being trump supporters shouldn't
00:52:29.700
that be a hate crime and i'm told that it's not a hate crime because it's not called out as a protected
00:52:36.660
group but apparently there's i'm not the only person who thinks that it should be and to me that's a
00:52:43.220
no-brainer because if you're attacking somebody for their political opinion a completely legal political
00:52:50.500
opinion that's a hate crime and it's a hate crime because the fake news gets people all worked up to
00:52:57.540
think that they're killing nazis or something so there is definitely hate involved um
00:53:03.460
here's a fake news story of the type we see all the time uh it's reported by let's see the new york
00:53:14.500
times reported this the reporting that trump asked last week asked his senior aides what possibilities
00:53:21.060
he had for an offensive strike on iran's primary nuclear site now if you see that story you say to
00:53:27.940
yourself oh wow the president wants to attack iran right that's how you would interpret it if he's
00:53:36.420
asking his aides about options for attacking iran your brain processes that as oh it looks like trump
00:53:44.260
wants to attack iran but these stories are all so illegitimate because if you're the um you know if
00:53:53.300
you're at the head of the military you should be asking this kind of question just routinely you
00:53:59.620
should always ask what are my options and if you're talking about iran one of the options is always attack
00:54:06.100
if you're the if you're the commander in chief of the united states shouldn't you always be checking
00:54:12.900
in to find out what your military options are for an active topic like iran do you think that
00:54:19.540
do you think that the israeli military do you think netanyahu has never asked his military
00:54:27.060
what options they have for attacking iran of course he has which doesn't mean he's planning to do it next
00:54:34.500
week it just means you have to know your options it doesn't mean anything except checking your options
00:54:40.660
and they turn it into a story and it's a non-story it should be just baseline nothing happened
00:54:46.580
checking your options is nothing happening that's nothing all right uh here's cnn with a little fake
00:54:56.500
news the wolf blitzer was reporting that lindsey graham was asking the secretary of state of georgia to
00:55:03.780
toss out legal votes do you think that lindsey graham asked anybody much less the uh you know georgia
00:55:15.380
officials do you think he asked anybody to throw out legal votes of course not of course not he believes
00:55:26.900
that some votes will be determined to be illegal because they don't meet some requirement of signature
00:55:32.500
or whatever the details are and that those would be illegal votes according to the laws of the land
00:55:38.900
or at least the laws of georgia and that georgia should follow its own law and then that gets
00:55:46.180
reported as lindsey graham wants to throw out legal votes no no that's not really what was happening here
00:55:55.300
here was an interesting story uh it's a van jones story saying that uh he is quoted as saying tuesday
00:56:02.900
night was devastating the polling had been suggesting there were that there would be just a wipeout of
00:56:08.740
trump and the fact that it wasn't a wipeout was crushing so here's what i get from that story so van
00:56:16.100
jones thought that the polls would be correct and that trump would be wiped out but why did van jones
00:56:25.540
think the polls think the polls would be correct there's something with this story that doesn't
00:56:31.220
make sense because um a lot of you believe again it's just allegations but a lot of you believe that
00:56:39.620
the polling was intentionally fraudulent for fundraising reasons or to depress trump votes or something
00:56:48.100
why didn't van jones think that why is it that you think you thought from all last year you thought
00:56:54.660
the polls were were fraudulent but why didn't van jones think they were fraudulent because based on his
00:57:01.780
answer i think he really thought they were real why why do you think they were real
00:57:09.860
well here is my assumption he wasn't in on the steel
00:57:16.340
so don't take this too seriously but if you imagine that it was all coordinated then you imagine that the
00:57:23.620
fake polls were coordinating with the people who faked the election so that the polls you know
00:57:29.940
somehow they'd all be on the same team but i don't think anybody talked i doubt that any election
00:57:38.020
fraud was so widely coordinated that there were meetings and you know zoom conversations and stuff
00:57:45.300
like that i think just everybody knew what they needed to do i think that the people handling the software
00:57:51.780
if they saw an opportunity they took it the people had handling the ballots if they saw an opportunity i think
00:57:58.580
they took it i think that's all it is but so many of them took it that now biden's vote total is 79
00:58:08.500
million and one of the things that uh critics are saying critics of trump and his supporters they're
00:58:16.340
saying that uh there's no evidence that the election was stolen to which i say define evidence
00:58:27.620
because i would i would acknowledge that there's no proof my understanding of how systems work is that
00:58:35.620
let's say in the legal system if there's evidence of a crime then you start the legal process
00:58:41.620
if the prime if that evidence does not turn into proof well then the person is innocent but you
00:58:48.740
don't say there's no evidence just because you couldn't get a conviction there's plenty of evidence
00:58:55.860
you know what the evidence is 79 million votes that's a lot of evidence could it be that there's another
00:59:04.180
explanation that it was just a really high turnout and biden got a lot of votes because people really
00:59:10.180
didn't like trump is that possible yeah of course that's possible but the evidence would suggest
00:59:21.220
there's something up because it's pretty big coincidence uh or maybe it's not a coincidence but
00:59:28.180
it would surprise a lot of people shall we say if that number held it would surprise a lot of people
00:59:35.300
people all right somebody says the vote count doesn't matter because it's a electoral college
00:59:45.540
it does matter in this limited context of figuring out if the vote itself was real or fake because the
00:59:54.500
total number of people voting that certainly would suggest there's something going on here
01:00:01.700
uh especially when you compare it to the size of biden's uh rallies if you look at the strength that
01:00:10.340
people wanted him to win he just didn't have the energy that would suggest 79 people 79 million
01:00:17.540
people showed up it just doesn't make sense so i would say there's plenty of evidence what there isn't yet
01:00:24.820
that is proof but there will be so i think that the world is going to get a little bit unraveled this
01:00:34.500
week because you're going to start to see the good stuff you know the actual uh valid stuff that holds
01:00:42.820
up and looks credible and you're gonna see it soon probably all this week uh so that's really going to change
01:00:51.380
stuff now one of the things i was worrying about uh when president trump brought uh dr scott atlas into the uh
01:01:02.340
into the office uh and put him on the corona task force i thought that i would eventually be confused with
01:01:09.060
him and sure enough i was so uh i tweeted an article that calls him dr scott adams now i knew i just knew
01:01:21.620
that i would get confused with him eventually because even when president trump says dr he goes scott atlas
01:01:29.860
when i'm listening to it live and i hear i'm just listening to trump you know while i'm doing
01:01:34.100
something else and i'll hear trump say and uh i'd like to introduce scott at and i'm like whoa it's the list
01:01:41.220
oh okay that's not me all right um hunter's laptop was hidden from view somebody says okay i don't
01:01:50.500
know how that's relevant 29 states will be forced into a hand recount some people say perhaps we shall
01:02:00.420
see all right uh i'm gonna say goodbye to periscopers i'll talk to you tomorrow
01:02:08.980
youtubers still with me 6.9 000 wow there's a lot of you here today
01:02:15.140
um scott would trump bluff this long if he had nothing he might he might uh just
01:02:25.700
because he doesn't like to lose maybe it keeps the issue alive he might but i don't think the thing
01:02:32.660
that surprises me is watching the attorneys i don't think you would see lynn wood or sydney powell or um
01:02:40.260
um or any of the lawyers i don't i don't think you would see them make such specific uh dangerous
01:02:54.260
uh yeah rudy giuliani you you could maybe imagine that rudy giuliani was you know the president's guy
01:03:02.420
so maybe you could you could see him using a little hyperbole but you don't really see the other lawyers
01:03:08.420
necessarily buying into that i i feel like i don't feel like uh sydney powell or lynn wood would throw
01:03:16.260
away their careers making this kind of claim unless they knew there was some meat there slaughter meter
01:03:31.380
yeah the other thing we keep learning is how many interconnections there are how many people are
01:03:36.500
connected to one thing and also connected to another thing and connected to voting it's uh pretty scary
01:03:46.260
um somebody says i feel like catherine says i feel like china is involved well again why wouldn't they
01:03:52.420
be why wouldn't they be they can send us fentanyl by the boat loads and coronavirus and
01:03:58.580
bad trade deals and steal our ip and nothing happens why would they why would they not try to ruin our
01:04:05.540
election it would make sense for them to try um what is the slaughter meter so the slaughter meter is a
01:04:12.980
is a momentary it's a slice of time that says how the election will go and at 100 it would say that trump
01:04:21.700
is 100 going to be re-elected now i think the slaughter meter has to be revised i think that we will learn
01:04:30.260
the election was stolen that's my prediction i think we will learn the election was stolen but
01:04:37.380
the mainstream media has the power to make that disappear and i think that's the way it's going to
01:04:43.860
go so i think that we will know that the election was stolen historians may record it that way but that
01:04:50.180
joe biden will probably take the office because the the mainstream media will just say oh yeah he won
01:04:58.660
and it just doesn't matter if it's not true they'll just say he did and then he'll take the office all
01:05:05.780
um what would happen if trump retook the white house in terms of riots well there would be great civil unrest
01:05:17.540
and so one of the plays that trump has available to him is to win the election and then resign
01:05:24.980
uh resign uh resign put pence in charge have pence uh pardon him for everything and then start a media
01:05:32.180
platform and and uh really have some power i gotta tell you it's a lot more fun criticizing things than
01:05:46.100
um yeah if if biden takes office uh you also would be heading toward uh republican control of congress
01:05:56.500
fairly soon what about the phone calls i don't know uh any news on phone calls
01:06:06.260
all right that's all i got for now and i will talk to you tomorrow
