00:00:00.000 hey everybody come on in come on in it's all gonna be fun and good news today no bad news today
00:00:11.380 it's all good it's all about the brainwashing and the mental games the psychology oh it's gonna be
00:00:18.680 good but first we'll need the simultaneous sip to get ready for this awesomeness best part of
00:00:26.280 the day and all you need is a cup or a mug a glass of tanker gels or stein a canteen jug or a plastic
00:00:30.280 vessel of any kind filled with your favorite liquid i like coffee and join me now for the
00:00:37.860 unparalleled pleasure the dopamine here of the day the thing that makes everything better yeah it does
00:00:43.240 it's called the simultaneous sip and it happens now go
00:00:47.620 yeah that was good
00:00:55.180 so one of the uh unintended consequences of the coronavirus and the school shutdowns and all of
00:01:05.280 that is that uh states are breaking out all over the place trying to assert their assert their ability
00:01:13.660 to allow students to choose where they go to school what the biggest two stories in the country
00:01:22.440 in terms of how important they will be to the future largely ignored are you watching all the
00:01:30.400 headlines about the uh all the movement toward uh breaking the let's say the monopoly that the
00:01:37.700 teachers unions have on schools there's a lot happening a lot a lot of states moving forward with
00:01:44.440 saying hey let's let's propose at least funding the students so lots of action lots of proposals
00:01:50.800 imagine if school choice could become real realer so that you have real school school choice for
00:01:59.480 everybody that would solve most of our problems it would take a big bite out of uh systemic racism
00:02:07.180 let's say every kid gets a good education or can that takes a lot of problems away right and it's the
00:02:14.400 teachers unions that prevent that good thing from happening but they're having a lot of problems now
00:02:19.780 because they're keeping the schools closed and i would guess this will lead to less support for
00:02:25.580 teachers unions and more support for choice so that's a gigantic story if it goes the right way
00:02:32.460 gigantic transforms the country protects us forever i mean it's really big the other one is that the
00:02:40.740 uh the government and i don't know what the trump administration can make permanent but at least in
00:02:46.160 terms of current priorities uh the government has decided to go big on small uh nuclear reactors to be used
00:02:56.000 for space now you don't realize yet how big a deal that is but if the government is decided that nuclear
00:03:04.900 power is necessary for space space force space exploration space defense and it is that means that our
00:03:14.240 domestic industry will get a big boost because they'll do a lot of things in maybe the government
00:03:20.540 sector for military and that will almost certainly create smaller cheaper better new technology
00:03:28.320 reactors that might even be safe from meltdown so that is something that would affect uh climate change
00:03:37.720 no matter what you thought about the actual risk of that it will change our whole energy structure it
00:03:42.800 changes our defense posture in the future gigantic you take those two stories just the nuclear energy for
00:03:52.020 space and how that will ripple through everything and then just the school choice stuff that's
00:03:59.580 springing up everywhere and like lots of little flowers those are transformative golden age
00:04:07.620 almost almost almost have i told you before that uh you should expect a demolition phase
00:04:17.280 before rebuilding because there was already stuff here the united states already exists you don't you
00:04:24.340 don't have a green field where you say well imagine we build something from nothing you don't have
00:04:29.180 that option you gotta you have to do demolition and i feel as if 2020 was a year of demolition
00:04:35.780 now some of it wasn't our choice right coronavirus just made us rethink every assumption which was
00:04:43.520 a really bad pandemic but what is the unintended consequence if you will of rethinking every assumption
00:04:54.020 it's really good it's really really good like really really so good you can't even wrap your head
00:05:03.080 around it the pandemic is nothing but bad in terms of what it's doing to us at the moment but making us
00:05:10.600 rethink from scratch every assumption about commuting what is the nature of school how do we interact do we
00:05:20.200 shake hands i mean just everything medicine how we deliver medicine how we make vaccines i mean a lot
00:05:29.000 changed but we're still in the middle of the fight so when you're middle in the middle of the fight against
00:05:34.460 the pandemic that's where your concentration is but if you just took a moment just take a moment
00:05:40.580 to just rise above it a little bit look at it from 35 000 feet just get a little distance from it
00:05:47.540 there is something amazing that is forming now are there also bad things that we have to watch out for
00:05:57.560 that are forming oh yeah there are oh yeah but we'll talk about that too it's all optimism today
00:06:05.880 i'm feeling good about america uh part of it is that the things that are going wrong are just sort of
00:06:11.840 funny they're they're sort of laughably funny problems i'll get i'll tell you a few of those in a bit
00:06:18.400 uh apparently mike pompeo allegedly he's going to report today that we have dramatic new evidence about
00:06:27.220 the virus allegedly leaking from a wuhan lab but the biggest part of it the bombshell part
00:06:33.660 is that the allegation includes the fact that they quote cultured the virus now i don't know what they
00:06:41.540 mean by cultured the virus i assume that means it's at least modified or created by humans right
00:06:51.800 so it's at the very least modified now that would be new information right it's something that we
00:06:58.140 suspected it's not something that's ever been confirmed but just to make it interesting great
00:07:04.420 britain is saying it's not true so britain says it is not a credible source of intel and that they
00:07:11.960 don't believe that it has shown that it is a cultured virus or that it even came from the wuhan lab lab
00:07:18.640 so you've got allegedly we haven't seen it yet but this is the reporting that mike pompeo will say
00:07:25.160 we have new evidence that wuhan was the source of the leak and that they had cultured the virus
00:07:30.720 so it was at least partially man man human modified let's say less sexist and
00:07:37.380 great britain says their intel people say that's not true so who are you going to believe
00:07:45.140 so you've got our intel agencies as stark contrast to the british intel agencies so who do you trust
00:07:54.440 which one of them is the credible one neither neither our our intelligence agencies aren't credible for
00:08:04.820 this kind of story there might be some kind of things for which our intelligence agencies are credible
00:08:11.780 by its nature i suppose but this isn't one of them if your own intelligence agency tells you something like this
00:08:20.580 and there's no source and there's no document they can show you
00:08:24.000 i wouldn't trust it this is weapons of mass destruction all over again there is zero credibility
00:08:32.380 to the mike pompeo story unless you see it with your own eyes if mike pompeo goes on tv or whatever
00:08:41.380 and says we have secret intelligence information that i can't share with you
00:08:46.320 it means nothing you should put zero credibility on that now what about great britain if i'm saying
00:08:56.340 there's zero credibility am i agreeing with great britain and therefore great britain is the credible
00:09:03.720 one no no great britain's intelligence agencies are not credible not even a little bit in fact
00:09:13.380 their job is to fool people if you're taking as your model of credibility somebody whose entire job
00:09:21.920 is to fool people well you're not really smart so you have two intelligence agencies on opposite sides
00:09:28.480 of the story and neither of them have any credibility so what do you do with that i'm planning to ignore it
00:09:36.800 and you can make your own decision but i would say this is a story about no information hello the
00:09:44.700 breaking headline is today we have no credible information on anything whatsoever that's the news
00:09:52.280 if you're interpreting it as hey i think i just found out something about wuhan uh no we don't live in a
00:10:02.780 world where you can trust our intelligence agencies on this kind of question at all like zero is exactly
00:10:11.400 the right amount of trust which doesn't mean it's not true by the way if you think i'm saying it's not
00:10:17.520 true that it escaped from the lab or it's not true that it was cultured i don't know i don't have an
00:10:25.840 opinion on that but i know i can't trust anybody else's opinion that i know all right um so it looks like
00:10:34.860 new york city is canceling their contracts with the trump organization for their their iconic central park
00:10:41.080 skating rink and something else in retaliation over the mega mob capital riot what is the unintended
00:10:50.580 consequence of people punishing the trump business for something they didn't like about trump's uh role
00:11:00.200 as president doesn't that pretty much guarantee that you don't get business people running for president
00:11:06.060 anymore let me ask you if i ran for president should i expect that my income would go up or down
00:11:14.720 you already know the answer to that it would go down anybody who already has some established kind
00:11:22.580 of a business would be crazy to go into politics watching what happened to trump now if trump had gone
00:11:29.560 through his term and simply been loved or hated in whatever degree you know he was and then they
00:11:37.320 just said okay but now you go back to your private industry and that's you know that's just separate
00:11:41.500 just do what you want to do that would be fair but the moment you make it acceptable i mean new york
00:11:48.580 city's uh government is doing this in public and bragging about it they're they're not it's not like it's
00:11:55.480 undercover i think they're actually publicly punishing him for his political actions in his business
00:12:04.560 is that the standard you want why would anybody successful run for president if they could if their
00:12:12.500 business will be punished because of their decisions remember half of the country is going to hate
00:12:17.320 whatever you do why would you go into a situation where half the country is going to put you out of
00:12:23.380 business even if they half loves you i wouldn't do it uh a number of people have been asking me to run
00:12:30.460 for president uh partly because the republicans have no more leadership i'm not even a republican
00:12:38.380 that would be sort of the first requirement i would think to run for president as a republican
00:12:44.100 um i would be an excellent choice but i'm not crazy enough to take that job i can't think of anything
00:12:51.800 that would make me want to do that job i mean i love my country but i'm not going to walk into a suicide
00:12:58.100 situation
00:12:58.880 don't love it that much let me say let me say that clearly in case you didn't hear it i love my country
00:13:06.780 but i'm not going to intentionally run into a buzzsaw that i don't have to run into so i'm not going to run
00:13:13.780 for office that would be stupid for me now if you don't have money and so you don't have a business
00:13:20.420 to lose and your life is politics well that seems safer here's the funniest story you probably saw this
00:13:29.840 if you watched tucker carlson or saw some of the video clips so joe biden so far has the worst start
00:13:38.080 to a presidency i've ever seen now i've only seen presidents during my lifetime but i've never seen
00:13:45.240 a worse start and here's another example of it uh not so not only you know did he start by calling
00:13:52.040 half of the country a bunch of racists which if he did nothing else that would be the worst start of
00:13:57.080 any presidency but it gets better he just appointed to the head of department of justice civil rights
00:14:04.000 prosecution so the person responsible for prosecuting civil rights uh violations in this country at
00:14:11.980 the federal level i guess um had once written a uh an article while she was at harvard so the good news
00:14:22.360 is she went to harvard so when you hear that biden is uh is putting people in place who uh went to harvard
00:14:32.080 that sounds okay at least there that's proof that they have high intelligence and are capable of
00:14:38.900 succeeding so so far so good but let's see did she say anything that uh would be say controversial
00:14:46.240 or does she have any history or background saying something that would not make her let's say
00:14:53.360 the perfect choice for the head of the department of justice civil rights prosecution what could that be
00:15:01.540 something maybe in that domain that she may have said at some point in the past that would have some
00:15:07.800 relevance to the current job situation because you know one of the big complaints about trump
00:15:14.680 is they didn't make good hiring decisions now i've semi defended that by saying he didn't have many choices
00:15:21.360 because people didn't want to work for him because of the reputation so therefore he had a small pool of
00:15:27.040 people who were even willing to take the job so that was part of trump's problem and i've also said
00:15:32.760 that he fires better and firing is the real skill when you hire people you're kind of guessing
00:15:39.040 like ah they've never done this exact job but i feel like they could that's sort of guessing
00:15:44.720 but when they don't do the job well the firing is the skill part it's like okay pull the trigger
00:15:51.660 and he was good at that trump's a good firer but how's biden doing so he picked somebody for the
00:15:59.220 head of the doj civil rights prosecution who had once written a paper saying that black citizens she
00:16:07.100 happens to be african-american that's important to the story she says that blacks black people are
00:16:13.440 superior to white people mentally physically and spiritually and that there's a good reason for that
00:16:20.080 it's because their pineal gland doesn't have enough uh melanin or something um now i don't need to tell
00:16:30.720 you the science does not back her opinion i also don't know if she still holds the opinion because
00:16:38.060 this was a while ago right so if you're in college you can say some you can say some dumb stuff in
00:16:43.420 college i don't mind that and i've suggested the 20 year rule the 20 year rule is you just ignore
00:16:50.020 anything that happened 20 years ago but that would kind of depend on her disavowing it today
00:16:57.860 yeah has she ever retracted that is exactly the story had she retracted and said you know that was
00:17:05.960 just a dumb thing it was just a college thing i was just being you know i was being academic i was
00:17:12.560 trying to be provocative i don't hold those views now if she had said that i would at least
00:17:19.840 attempt to be consistent with my view that the 20 year rule should apply to whatever dumb ass
00:17:26.320 racist thing usually it's racist but whatever racist or homophobic thing you said 20 years ago
00:17:32.020 you're probably a different person by now and if you're a different person by now maybe you should
00:17:37.860 be judged by who you are instead of something else
00:17:41.840 but what could be funnier than joe biden who is one of his big claims to fame is that he does good
00:17:53.900 hiring compared to trump and he hires somebody who literally says that black people are superior
00:17:59.760 mentally physically and spiritually because of some science that isn't real science
00:18:05.140 you need to retract that really hard i don't know how much of a retraction you'd need to hear to feel
00:18:13.760 that it was real but i think you need a pretty serious retraction on that one if she if she wholeheartedly
00:18:21.660 disavowed her old views i would still hate it but i would want to be consistent with my views on
00:18:30.800 republicans and everybody else which is if it was 20 years ago and you don't hold that view now
00:18:37.220 i'm gonna let it go but she hasn't repudiated repudiated it so at the moment it's just it's
00:18:45.800 hilarious how how incompetent this is i mean how incompetent would you have to be to pick this person
00:18:52.840 for that job that's like the ultimate presidential incompetence and let me tell you i love being just a
00:19:00.160 critic it was so much harder when i was trying to put a you know the persuasion spin on trump and say
00:19:07.340 well yeah he said this but you have to understand how this is going to work out that was hard work
00:19:13.380 criticizing biden for being a dummy is really fun and easy so my workload went down about 50 percent
00:19:21.760 um here's some more stupid news
00:19:25.300 this is so dumb that when i read it you're not even going to believe this is true but i swear to god
00:19:31.980 this is true uh you know there's facial recognition apps now and law enforcement is using them to figure
00:19:38.560 out you know who was in the capital and also other stuff and apparently the lapd has announced that they
00:19:46.700 will allow a technology that uses a database of existing mugshots um so that they're okay with using a
00:19:55.240 database of existing mugshots and facial recognition against their small existing database
00:20:01.380 because that's they only have mugshots they don't have everybody else in the world who is not
00:20:05.940 in a mugshot but they're not going to use clear view or or tools like it clear view sort of the leader
00:20:14.480 in terms of accuracy there but um clear view has trained its technology and they use this is the
00:20:24.240 right phrase trained its technology on three billion photos now people think that clear view stores the
00:20:31.040 photos like they've scraped them and they've got a database of all the photos that didn't happen
00:20:36.120 clear view doesn't store any photos they have looked at all the photos and turned them into
00:20:43.420 a formula or an algorithm or a mathematical construct so what they store is math they don't have a photo
00:20:52.800 of you in their database they've got math that was a result of your facial features so that's all they
00:20:59.800 have is math and then that math becomes a pointer to where on the internet the actual public information
00:21:06.620 is you on on facebook etc so lapd has decided that they will use facial recognition but only on a tool
00:21:16.200 that hardly ever works so they've decided that they won't use a reliable tool that could find pretty
00:21:24.080 much everybody i mean close to 100 so they that's evil so they're not going to use the evil tool that is
00:21:32.420 100 effective or near it but they will use the evil tool because it's the same thing it's still
00:21:38.380 facial recognition right they will use the one that doesn't work now that sounds like i made that up
00:21:45.060 doesn't it but we're actually in a world where an entity will announce proudly they proudly announced
00:21:54.900 that they will use the tool that is if i had to put a a number on it maybe five percent as good as clearview
00:22:04.860 but the same technology in this not the same technology but in the sense that they're both facial recognition
00:22:11.720 this is happening this is actually happening like out loud right in front of us we choose to use the one
00:22:20.760 that's five percent effective it's equally evil you know if you think facial recognition is evil
00:22:26.220 that's what it is and they're not hiding it it is facial recognition but they only want to use the
00:22:32.880 one that doesn't work and they said that in public
00:22:35.520 what somebody says clearview is intrusive well it's facial recognition that works
00:22:45.240 it's only more intrusive than other things because it works better that's the only thing that makes
00:22:51.920 it different anyway i thought that was funny um scientists have done an experiment with snails
00:23:00.340 and they found that they can make the snail remember something that never happened
00:23:04.960 do you know what else never happened scientists making snails remember something that never happened
00:23:11.980 i don't think i have to actually read the story to know that whatever a snail remembers i don't know
00:23:18.560 if you can test that but let's say they taught the snails to do something if they saw some if they saw
00:23:26.360 something they'd seen before so maybe there's a way you can test false memories that way uh but i thought
00:23:33.640 that's not really the story that you can make a snail believe something that didn't happen you know what the
00:23:40.420 story is the fake news does that literally every day are you surprised that scientists working
00:23:47.580 really hard can fool a snail i'm not really surprised because 75 percent of the people i interacted with on
00:23:56.320 twitter today also are operating under false memories they were implanted by the fake news and it's why
00:24:03.220 it's quite obvious you just read their opinion you go oh you got that one from the fake news that's not
00:24:08.120 real it's exactly like the snail how much did we what kind of a grant did we do to find out this
00:24:15.500 the scientists can uh can give snails fake news and they'll believe it because if you can do it to a
00:24:23.840 living human being easily and effectively and consistently are you really surprised you can do
00:24:30.080 it to a snail i'm just saying there are some sciences more useful than others
00:24:34.700 here's a question i have in my my ever uh my my attempt to get as close to cancellation as i can
00:24:44.620 without actually getting cancelled i don't want to get cancelled by the way and i will
00:24:49.800 intentionally do things to make sure i don't go far enough that that's likely but i'm not sure it's up to
00:24:57.320 me because all it would take is one what would it take to get me cancelled if i don't do anything wrong
00:25:02.740 what would it take to get me cancelled snail false memory right all it takes is the fake news to
00:25:10.460 tell the the snails that they have a false memory of me doing something is that hard nope it's real
00:25:19.240 easy i'll give you some examples in a bit where the fake news is actively telling people to remember
00:25:25.480 something that didn't happen it's happening right now it's actually the headline the main news right now
00:25:30.820 is the snails it's just that you're the snails and the the news is telling you something that didn't happen
00:25:38.020 and it has become a memory i'm going to tell you in a moment a memory that at least half the country has
00:25:46.180 maybe three quarters an actual memory that didn't happen we'll get to that in a minute so if you think you're
00:25:53.380 different than the snail hold on for that so here's a question that i asked provocatively
00:25:59.840 if the mega protesters if they were all mega who knows uh that assaulted the capital
00:26:07.900 if they were planning a violent assault meaning that they planned a violent overthrow you know with
00:26:16.120 uh you know universal violence as opposed to there were members of the group who definitely were violent
00:26:22.040 and literally killed people or at least one so there definitely were violent people there who went
00:26:27.760 there to be violent but here's the question i have the mega people were armed to the teeth some of them
00:26:36.580 were right and if you looked at the number of guns owned by the people who attended probably most did not
00:26:45.140 take their weapons but the amount of them that attended who owned um weapons and i'm not talking about clubs
00:26:53.820 i'm talking about actual guns are you a little bit surprised that there was an insurrection of the most gun
00:27:02.460 owning people on the earth i think that's true wouldn't republicans be maybe among or the most gun owning people
00:27:10.900 on earth and none of them shot anybody am i right have you heard any story of a mega person even aiming
00:27:21.560 a weapon at another human now i don't know that it didn't happen but i haven't heard the story about
00:27:26.820 it there's no reporting on it all of those weapons all of those weapons thousands of them that they had
00:27:35.080 access to some of them actually brought weapons not one person brandished a weapon as in aiming it at
00:27:43.260 somebody now what kind of an insurrection is that when the people with massive weaponry don't bring it
00:27:53.700 and the ones that brought it didn't even attempt to use it what do you call that well we'll get into that
00:28:02.560 um here's what i'd call it the fake news has sold you on the idea that there was a coup attempt
00:28:13.980 and or an insurrection so those words used not exactly the same as each other but you know i think
00:28:22.900 the coup attempt is a little more let's say organized because it assumes that there's somebody you're
00:28:28.340 putting in charge whereas an insurrection maybe it's less organized i don't know or maybe they're
00:28:33.300 the same doesn't matter for my purposes but here's what got lost in the story and this is how all of
00:28:40.400 the snails will be reprogrammed what ted cruz and the other republic republicans were asking for
00:28:47.980 was not to quote overthrowing the election but how is it being reported it's being reported that those
00:28:56.700 senators were quote trying to overturn an election did ted cruz ever say i would like to overturn this
00:29:06.480 election nope how about josh hawley did he say i would like to overturn the election nope nope there
00:29:17.260 wasn't a single person who said let's overturn the election at least not in congress not a single
00:29:22.480 person did um did trump say let's overturn the election nope nope don't know anybody who knows
00:29:33.020 that all i know is ted cruz saying let's have let's use 10 days for an audit we have 10 days it won't
00:29:40.560 slow anything down it won't change the outcome unless we found out something we don't know and wouldn't it
00:29:46.020 make the whole country feel more confident in the process so congress was trying to take a an election
00:29:54.400 that did not have credibility with enough of the public to be you know really called a high class
00:30:01.680 quality credible election now it might have been fair and free how would i know i don't have any direct
00:30:08.960 direct evidence that i have access to i only have news reports so it might have been fair enough and free
00:30:15.560 enough but it is still a fact that half the country ish doesn't believe it was as fair as it should
00:30:23.500 have been so when you've got senators like ted cruz who i believe is a genuine patriot and josh hawley
00:30:31.280 genuine patriot and the others matt gates etc when they're asking for 10 days to improve the
00:30:39.120 reliability and credibility of an election that's not just for republicans that's for everybody
00:30:47.800 is there one of you who would not be better off with a more transparent election well i mean you
00:30:53.760 can make an argument if it changed the result of who got in office and you liked biden more than you
00:30:58.800 like trump then yeah maybe but wouldn't you be better off with a system that works wouldn't you
00:31:04.980 better be better off knowing that the election worked the fake news has brainwashed the public
00:31:11.740 into thinking this was an actual coup to which i ask you this provocative question if this were a coup
00:31:19.300 attempt as opposed to trying to force congress to have a 10-day audit and have some transparency which
00:31:28.120 the public required if it were a real coup how exactly was that coup going to work did they think these
00:31:37.820 clever coup plotters that once they had occupied two empty rooms that they were then the leaders of the
00:31:46.200 country what was that their thinking once we get in these empty rooms with all this furniture we run the
00:31:55.280 country now is that what they thought because i don't think so i don't think they thought that
00:32:01.860 did they think that by stealing the magic let lectern which did happen nancy's lectern was stolen
00:32:10.720 were they thinking if we can get a hold of the magic golden lectern we will have power over the whole world
00:32:19.200 i don't think they thought that it looked more like they were getting souvenirs
00:32:26.340 so let me ask you this if i said to you there are some senators who want more transparency in the
00:32:35.280 election so that we can be sure we had a solid election and that's better than the situation we
00:32:40.900 have with great uncertainty does that sound like a coup is a coup where you take the existing system
00:32:48.620 and try to improve it as it stands that is the opposite of a coup
00:32:55.760 if you're trying to make the current system work better transparently which is all they asked for just
00:33:05.100 an audit you're doing the opposite of a coup a coup is changing that system and changing the outcome
00:33:13.420 now could an outcome change yes but only if the system worked it only the only way the outcome
00:33:20.180 could change is if the system were repaired through transparency we can see what happened with an audit
00:33:27.840 and if and we don't know that would be the case and if that repairing of the transparency
00:33:33.140 caused a revote or some reevaluation that could happen but it's the opposite of a coup when you're
00:33:41.680 trying to make sure the public feels confident with the existing system changing the existing system
00:33:48.440 is the coup so when these people came in there and they were obviously trying to intimidate congress
00:33:57.200 so some people said to me scott scott scott what you don't understand is no it's not about stealing the
00:34:04.540 golden lectern so you have power it's not about them thinking that a coup could be accomplished by
00:34:11.200 fully occupying two empty rooms they didn't think that they were trying to bully and intimidate and scare
00:34:20.960 congress into doing something and that's bad that is bad except what exactly was it they were trying to
00:34:31.580 bully and scare and threaten congress into doing was it were they trying to bully and scare and threaten
00:34:40.160 congress into doing something illegal no no they weren't trying to get them to do anything illegal
00:34:46.580 were they trying to threaten and congress into doing something that their own rules of congress wouldn't allow
00:34:54.160 them to do no no congress could have done what they what the protesters wanted they could do an audit in fact
00:35:01.240 ted cruz had suggested it so wouldn't you say that the congress was being threatened and bullied
00:35:11.340 into doing the job because i would say that if half of the country feels there's no credibility in the election
00:35:21.700 and they have 10 days to do something that might make a difference
00:35:26.360 and you want them to do that thing which can be done it's practical it wouldn't change anything in
00:35:35.120 terms of the timing and it's their job you actually had an insurrection to try to force congress
00:35:44.120 just to do its job that actually happened and that's being presented as a coup attempt and an insurrection
00:35:53.780 it's literally the opposite it was an insurrection mostly right there were some bad elements in there
00:36:02.060 who had their own they must have had their own motives so i'm not trying to minimize the fact that
00:36:08.200 there were some bad people in that group and what those bad people did they have to be held fully
00:36:13.220 accountable for you know it's illegal you could execute them for all i care especially the one
00:36:18.640 who beat the cop anybody who beat that cop you could execute them i'm fine with that this would be
00:36:24.140 it's legal but i'm just saying that the mass the mass the far majority of these people that are being
00:36:32.820 called the insurrection and the coup were literally trying to intimidate congress into doing its job for
00:36:39.820 the first fucking time and that's being called a coup right encouraging congress to just simply do its job
00:36:50.180 that's it they didn't ask them to do something that's not their job they didn't ask them to quit
00:36:56.500 none of that they just asked them to do their job that's it now you could argue that maybe they shouldn't
00:37:06.620 have done their job that way etc but you can't argue what the intent was because if the intent was a coup
00:37:13.060 i think they would use some weapons if the intent was an insurrection like an actual change of government
00:37:20.320 based on their threats or their actual violence would they do it that way what kind of a weak ass coup
00:37:28.760 takes over two empty rooms steals a lectern and says i think we got this i think we're in charge of the
00:37:35.780 united states now that's not a thing that's what the fake news sold to the snails the snails believe
00:37:44.340 there was a coup and they will never believe anything else because the snails have been programmed by the
00:37:51.140 fake news to think that instead of a bunch of people taking a body of uh of you know the government
00:37:59.220 the congress which had what a 13 approval rating let me tell you if patriots surround a part of the
00:38:08.660 government that has a 13 rating of approval and they're refusing to do the most basic part of their
00:38:16.420 job which is hey could you maybe give us some insurance that the election was fair pretty basic
00:38:23.060 to the job i would say um if they're not willing to do their job shouldn't and have 13 approval
00:38:31.020 whose fault is it that uh patriots surrounded their building the bad ones went inside we don't condone
00:38:40.720 that whatsoever totally disavow the ones who went inside but you should expect that they're going to
00:38:45.680 surround the building you should you you should expect a free speech kind of demonstration i mean if
00:38:52.740 you didn't expect that so uh trump uh will either be impeached or almost impeached based on the fact
00:39:01.820 that although his words did not encourage violence and specifically said the opposite he said be peaceful
00:39:09.100 specifically be peaceful but i do think it's a fair it is a fair criticism that he should have known
00:39:18.420 what would happen even though his words you know were not um telling them to do that it wouldn't have
00:39:26.260 been too hard to know that you're creating a dangerous situation so i think he has to take
00:39:31.020 responsibility for that the same way he can take credit for some of the great things he did
00:39:34.800 um but if it's true that trump could be impeached or almost impeached because he should have known
00:39:45.300 it's not what he did intentionally it's why he should have known would have been the result
00:39:50.680 even though his specific actions didn't have that tell for for a problem he should have known
00:39:56.700 that his actions would have caused that i agree with that but should congress have known that
00:40:04.380 denying an audit under this condition would create violence
00:40:08.980 yeah you just got quiet didn't you should congress have known
00:40:16.680 that not backing the audit which there was no problems with it didn't have a budget problem
00:40:25.100 didn't have a timing problem there was no objection to it it could have been done should congress have known
00:40:33.420 that this would cause violence abso-fucking-lutely they should have known and all i ask is for some
00:40:43.920 consistency i will not push back on attempts to impeach trump over this
00:40:51.140 because i do think he's got something to answer for all leaders have to answer for the result of their
00:41:00.000 actions right the fact that he wasn't intending this to happen matters but it doesn't excuse it
00:41:07.180 right because you can be impeached for a mistake i would say it was a mistake it was a big one
00:41:13.420 it was a big mistake but it wasn't intentional i do you think do you think that trump wanted violence
00:41:21.000 i think that's the last thing he wanted i think that's the very last thing he wanted
00:41:26.500 it's obvious that he wanted pressure on congress but pressure to do an audit not pressure to overturn
00:41:33.280 the election not pressure to enter the building but there's no way trump wanted that but buck stops at
00:41:41.720 the top you know if i'm if i'm going to be even a little bit consistent the person in charge gets the
00:41:49.520 blame and the person in charge gets the credit if things go right even if they weren't directly
00:41:54.800 involved those are the rules and i don't think we should change them i'm not going to change it for
00:41:59.060 trump but i want to be consistent kamala harris was promoting violence by the bl black lives matter
00:42:07.540 protesters i think that should be treated the same so i can support impeaching trump over this even
00:42:16.460 understanding in my opinion that he didn't intend any of it to happen but the same way uh kamala harris
00:42:23.800 actually actively supported i'll say unrest i will say violence she didn't use that word but she was
00:42:30.920 certainly in favor of unrest which guaranteed death and destruction guaranteed it and of course you would
00:42:37.480 know that so how does kamala harris not get impeached it's the same standard and secondly how do
00:42:44.740 uh all of the members of congress who voted against the 10-day audit how in fuck did they not know that
00:42:54.020 they were going to get attacked for that how the fuck did they not know that was going to cause that
00:43:00.800 problem right same standard
00:43:04.260 all right all right let me read this comment um the the coup insurrection false narrative is beyond
00:43:13.080 annoying yeah how the dems used it against uh yeah right that comment disappeared for reasons that
00:43:20.680 are not clear as i was reading it but thank you for the comment um so how do you feel living among
00:43:29.480 the snails who have been convinced that an attempt to solidify and protect the republic as it stands
00:43:37.180 has been turned by the fake news into a coup attempt and an insurrection where plainly it wasn't
00:43:45.720 plainly you don't need to be an expert on insurrections you just have to look at it and say
00:43:50.600 uh they took over a room you can't control a country by taking over a room an empty room now some of you
00:44:02.000 are saying uh but but they meant to take uh members of congress hostage let's say that's true there was a
00:44:09.420 guy there with twist ties right that that showed some intent but let's say worst case scenario that some
00:44:16.140 of the people who were in the building uh intended to harm or take uh control of let's say members of
00:44:24.540 congress do you know what's wrong with this how could you control the united states by taking hostage
00:44:32.380 any number of people who have a 13 approval rating and are not doing the will of the people
00:44:38.760 i do not condone any kind of hostage taking that i hope that's obvious i don't condone any violence and
00:44:48.700 i absolutely disavow anybody who entered the building they should have stayed out of the building period
00:44:54.220 but if you're gonna say this was a coup attempt you have to you have to complete the story i'm just
00:45:03.280 asking anybody who thinks it was a coup to complete the story and the story is if they took hostages
00:45:09.260 in congress would they control the country no no not even a little bit who name a member of congress
00:45:21.120 that we wouldn't sacrifice as opposed to overthrowing the government of the united states
00:45:27.660 i'm a big fan of mike pence even though he's very unpopular with a lot of people this week
00:45:33.840 i've been saying since the beginning that if you judge him for his job as a vice president
00:45:39.460 spectacular i i really think he's one of the strongest vice presidents we've ever had
00:45:45.200 even though i disagree with him on lgbtq stuff and other stuff so i don't think he should be president
00:45:50.320 but as a vice president damn good now as much as i like mike pence imagine if you will if the
00:45:59.360 uh the alleged coup attempt people had taken him hostage and were planning to kill him
00:46:05.800 if they didn't get their way then do the coup attempt people uh have they taken over the country
00:46:12.500 would that work hey we got your vice president we're going to do bad things to him unless you
00:46:19.940 let us run the country or put trump in charge and let trump have a second term would that work
00:46:26.860 no no we might love mike pence but we're not going to trade his life for the country that's not how it
00:46:37.540 works we would say well if that's the way it's got to be you know we're going to miss mike pence
00:46:45.320 there isn't a single person in the world who would trade the country for mike pence and mike pence is
00:46:51.780 awesome great guy you know overall i know some of you think he's a traitor for not for not wanting to
00:46:59.700 vote the way he did etc i think you i think he's a good person who's just trying to figure out
00:47:04.820 the best option and of bad options i just see him as a good person you don't have to agree with him
00:47:11.440 i don't either i don't agree with all of his decisions but i feel like he's a good person
00:47:16.980 still still if one person in our government is taken hostage we're not going to overthrow the
00:47:25.300 government turn it to the president whoever the president is you could pick trump or biden or anybody
00:47:30.760 else bad people take the president hostage sometime in the future do they own the country
00:47:37.360 no no not even a little bit not even slightly you could take every member of congress hostage
00:47:46.900 and it wouldn't have any effect on controlling the country because the rest of the country would say
00:47:53.140 oh well i guess we need some new politicians and we would just go on like it didn't even happen
00:47:58.040 you know we would of course kill all the coup people first but it wouldn't stop us there's no way
00:48:05.320 that any of those actions conceivably in the most wild imagination could have turned into anything like a coup
00:48:14.920 there was just no no connecting tissue that could have made that even slightly possible
00:48:20.780 not one percent nothing and yet the snails have been convinced it happened all right
00:48:28.180 um glenn beck's getting in trouble for referring to the uh the private company social media censorship of
00:48:38.340 some voices as a digital holocaust and then the people who um you know like the auschwitz museum people
00:48:45.980 etc say stop using our holocaust analogies because you're trivializing the holocaust i have two things to
00:48:54.080 say about that number one never don't don't compare things to the holocaust the whole point of the
00:49:02.040 holocaust is that it can't be compared to other things unless it's an actual another holocaust like
00:49:09.200 if somebody actually kills six million people of some identified group well yeah that's holocaust
00:49:15.660 but i don't call censorship and stuff like that a holocaust right it does it does cheapen the holocaust
00:49:23.080 so i agree that it's a word that there's some words you want to preserve right right you just want to
00:49:30.840 preserve some words and not not water down their meaning because they're important but here's the
00:49:37.300 fun part and the second part having suffered from four years of hitler analogies about trump
00:49:43.140 i really did kind of enjoy that glenn beck is making a legitimate it's legitimate i mean it's as
00:49:52.120 legitimate as the uh as the charges against trump for being hitler meaning neither of them are
00:49:59.000 legitimate because nothing really compares to hitler nothing compares to the holocaust
00:50:03.080 uh where it's just hyperbole but it's completely fair that after four years of listening to it
00:50:09.540 you want to send a little back i kind of enjoyed that and uh i have to tell you when it was obvious
00:50:18.680 that trump wasn't going to get a second term i i suffered a little bit of not depression nothing
00:50:25.960 like that but maybe a little bit of pre-sadness that i wouldn't be entertained
00:50:30.760 in the future wouldn't be fun things to talk about but uh that doesn't seem to be the case
00:50:38.200 so making fun of uh biden will be way more entertaining than defending trump because it'll be so easy
00:50:45.080 um john dvorak wrote a really provocative article talking about how the poor countries seem i was
00:50:53.160 talking about this yesterday how the countries with low income seem to be doing better on the
00:50:57.400 coronavirus than the countries with uh good health care systems and i was speculating there we don't
00:51:04.920 know why that is maybe it's sunshine or bad reporting or you know any one of ten things or ivermectin or
00:51:13.720 hydroxychloroquine everybody's got their own private theory but uh john dvorak's theory is the most
00:51:21.800 provocative of them all and i'm not telling you i agree with this i'm just going to tell you his
00:51:28.280 opinion because it's so fun and his opinion is it's mass hysteria that the countries that have a uh let's
00:51:37.480 say a well-developed news social media industry um they've generated a mass hysteria so that our
00:51:47.560 impression of what's happening is way out of line with what's happening and that the poor countries
00:51:54.840 don't have the same you know robust social media fake news kind of influence and so they don't know
00:52:02.440 that they're in a pandemic and the hypothesis and again this is not my opinion i'm going to tell you
00:52:10.200 my opinion in a moment but the hypothesis is that mass hysteria is so strong that if you get enough of
00:52:17.800 it going it looks like you have a pandemic when maybe you don't now part of his argument is we don't
00:52:27.080 see bodies piled up in these third world countries and i that's a mystery right if these other countries
00:52:33.480 are doing everything wrong at least according to the developed countries they are because they're not
00:52:39.080 they don't have the you know all the uh high quality health care if they're doing everything wrong where
00:52:45.800 are the bodies wouldn't we notice i mean even though we don't have great information about what's
00:52:52.760 happening in you know congo or uh some african country we don't have great information but
00:52:58.920 wouldn't we notice by now there'd be a lot of dead people maybe there are we just haven't noticed that
00:53:07.240 would be weird somebody says they bury them yeah but you still notice i mean they'd be talking about it
00:53:14.680 so i don't think i quite buy into uh john's theory only because we do have bodies piled up
00:53:23.000 if you count the number of people who seem to have died if you look at the impact on icus where there's
00:53:28.920 a hot space it looks like real real disease to me it looks real to me so there may be there may be some
00:53:38.360 some way that uh john dvorak's opinion about the mass hysteria or at least a hypothesis let let's say
00:53:44.840 it's a hypothesis as opposed to a an opinion i don't want to i don't want to oversell uh his opinion
00:53:52.360 he needs to do that himself but let's call the hypothesis it's really interesting
00:53:58.600 yeah and the part of the hypothesis i like and the thing that makes it provocative is that it's
00:54:04.040 entirely possible for a mass hysteria to cause people to think they're having health problems
00:54:09.800 they're not but i don't think that's happening in this case because i think there are too many
00:54:14.440 doctors looking at too many real things and too many real patients but you never know it's just
00:54:20.600 a fun thought um let's see i'd like to give a random compliment today i told you i'd be giving
00:54:29.320 out random compliments uh especially to people who you don't expect me to be complimenting today's
00:54:36.040 compliment is to geraldo rivera yeah i know i know what you're gonna say hold on just hold on
00:54:44.440 it's not as bad as you think you can handle this i know you can uh so geraldo of course has uh been
00:54:52.280 quite brutal on the president trump um who have been friends for a long time so geraldo has been a
00:54:59.000 booster overall but he's you know disagreed on immigration and some other some other things so
00:55:05.080 here's what he said in a tweet he said regardless of how senate ultimately votes i think he's talking
00:55:12.120 about impeachment he says it's entirely appropriate that uh trump be impeached by the house he knew what
00:55:18.360 mob what the mob intended from the jump and uh basically that's his point he knew what they were
00:55:24.680 going to do so it's it's on him and he uh he goes after trump pretty hard now here's my compliment
00:55:32.760 to geraldo yes he took a selfie with his shirt off over the age of 70 yes uh capone's vault
00:55:44.600 did not go the way maybe he hoped uh yes he does do a lot of self-promotion that's his job
00:55:54.040 so do i if you do this for a living you do a lot of self-promotion it's sort of what you do
00:55:59.240 uh that is part of the job but here's what i love about uh geraldo and the following compliment
00:56:07.240 geraldo doesn't give a shit what you think about his opinion
00:56:12.120 and i could not love that more he geraldo has said more opinions that more people disagree with
00:56:20.520 and said it you know with complete bravery i guess would be the right thing he is one brave mofo
00:56:29.560 he will say absolutely anything he thinks is true no matter what you think of it and he'll say it in
00:56:35.800 public and there are not many people like that now i don't agree with geraldo on a number of things
00:56:42.280 you know i've been watching him for a long time and sometimes i like him his opinion sometimes i disagree
00:56:48.360 but in every case don't you feel he's telling you his honest opinion
00:56:53.560 that's the special part it looks like i mean you can't read minds but my opinion of his opinion is
00:57:03.240 that every time he gives it i'm seeing an actual opinion when you watch almost anybody else who's in
00:57:09.560 this business and i think i could put myself in that category unfortunately you can smell the bias right
00:57:15.720 like it just reeks some people just reek of bias even when they're saying things that are true
00:57:24.120 they still reek of bias geraldo does not he does not reek of bias he can take a position on the left
00:57:32.680 when it looks like it makes sense to him even if i disagree and he can take a position on the right
00:57:38.280 if he thinks it makes sense that is special right you need more of geraldo even if you disagree with
00:57:47.640 him you don't need less of that you need a lot more of it in my opinion um stephen beschloss a historian
00:57:56.520 i believe he tweeted that after the grim week i was talking about some uh some of members of congress
00:58:02.760 tried to come to work with uh concealed carry i guess and they felt that they needed it for their
00:58:08.920 safety and they the they set off the uh i guess the uh security alarms and they refused to be patted
00:58:19.480 down now i didn't hear the rest of the story whether they were let in or not but they were apparently
00:58:26.040 they were strapped and they were they had weapons now beschloss um says that uh maybe i shouldn't be
00:58:35.240 surprised by the disgraceful level of arrogance of congress people who refuse to go through a metal
00:58:41.560 detector arrogance and selfishness qualities that helped us get into this mess to which i say
00:58:48.280 uh steven did you notice that congress was just invaded by armed people with twist ties
00:59:00.120 uh i feel as though congress has a right to defend themselves it's called the constitution and i don't
00:59:07.720 think we should ask them to go to work in that environment without feeling safe and if what it takes for
00:59:13.640 them to feel safe is their second amendment rights who has more second amendment rights than a congress
00:59:20.120 person you know ideally we all have the same rights but you know be serious they've got some they've got
00:59:26.360 extra rights because they're in congress they shouldn't have but they do and i completely back 100
00:59:34.920 the congress people who wanted to be armed if you put me in a situation where my personal security
00:59:42.280 security was as as as loose and tentative as apparently the security is for the capitol building
00:59:50.520 i would want to i would have a one concealed carry because who was going to stop the you know if they
00:59:56.440 got in who was going to stop them it looks like the police were standing aside i'd want to be armed
01:00:03.480 so i'm uh i'll back the people who tried to be armed for that um i made a prediction here that
01:00:10.280 the odds of democrats permanently shutting republicans out of power um and that's the worry the worry is
01:00:18.840 that they have so much power now they'll they'll be uh um changing the voting districts and they'll
01:00:24.680 be adding the district of columbia and they'll they'll add get rid of the filibuster and they'll pack
01:00:29.720 the courts and everything so the worry is that the democrats will just have this firm permanent control
01:00:35.160 on power maybe maybe that's definitely one of the things that could happen but if you're looking at
01:00:42.520 the odds i would say the odds of democrats self-destructing is way higher you know if
01:00:48.040 you're going to look at the next election i don't feel like it looks good for democrats already because
01:00:54.360 the democrats will have to um either not do the things they promised such as opening the border
01:01:02.040 or they have to do the things they promised and watch a disaster unfold because if you open the
01:01:09.480 border i don't feel like there are two ways that could go i feel like that's one of those few
01:01:15.800 situations where you don't have to guess which way it's going to go it would be a humanitarian disaster
01:01:23.000 i would imagine i don't i don't see how it could go any other way but uh this is all by way of saying
01:01:30.520 if you're worried that the democrats have a stranglehold on power uh i think they're self-destructing
01:01:38.120 because when they were out of power at least the presidency they had the luxury of saying crazy stuff
01:01:44.360 and not having to do any of it now if they say crazy stuff they're either going to disappoint because
01:01:50.040 they don't do it or they're going to do it and show that none of their plans work that's all that's
01:01:55.800 left they don't have a path to success because if you think it well they'll get in there and they'll
01:02:02.600 they'll shut down the republicans and and they'll do good work because if they do those two things
01:02:08.920 they'd have power forever do a good job shut down the republicans permanent situation but i don't think
01:02:17.960 so i mean anything's possible but it looks like democrats are going to self-destruct just by i mean
01:02:24.840 look at that appointment of kristen clark the the woman who had the 20 year old or whatever claim
01:02:31.240 about the pineal gland making black people superior he appointed that woman that that's the kind of uh
01:02:41.400 that's the kind of action we're going to see out of a biden administration it's literally laughably
01:02:47.320 stupid it's just laughably stupid now i'm sure all democrats thought that of everything that trump did
01:02:54.920 but that's my point my point is that being in power is hard being a critic which i am right now
01:03:02.120 where i just get to criticize people for whatever the hell they're doing real easy
01:03:08.680 i just moved from the hardest job in the world to the easiest not really feeling any pain at the moment
01:03:15.000 all right yeah there is stupidity on all sides of the aisles um i believe that is what i wanted to
01:03:24.840 talk about today should the trump wing of republicans form a new party now now if if the republicans want
01:03:33.320 any hope of ever getting power back that they need to be one party the reason it worked with trump is that
01:03:39.640 he managed to do the near impossible which is he unified the republican party uh
01:03:47.400 so now i don't think you want to start another party
01:03:51.640 what are the chances of 2024 having auditable elections i would say zero zero as far as i can
01:03:59.560 tell there is no interest in the government not real interest there are people talking but there doesn't
01:04:05.560 seem to be any real interest in fixing the election system have you seen it i don't see uh
01:04:14.280 i don't i don't see biden saying i'm going to make this my highest priority to make this auditable
01:04:20.520 i don't see any chance this can happen so i'm seeing a question about uh the patrick burn story i think
01:04:28.040 that's the story about italy being somehow involved in fixing the election so my my take on that just
01:04:34.440 quickly i've already i talked about that before my take is that patrick burn is like a really smart
01:04:39.720 guy if you look into his background and credentials he's super smart and successful too so you've got
01:04:47.000 that on one hand super smart and successful person making a claim but the claim is of a nature that i don't
01:04:55.640 believe ever right so the claim is sufficiently fantastical that i dismiss it as sort of a big
01:05:06.040 foot kind of a claim which doesn't mean it's not true i'm just saying that if you were going to look
01:05:11.560 at claims that sort of have that vibe you know it's complicated and you know you can't see nobody's
01:05:18.760 showing you the direct evidence it's people who talk to people about a complicated scheme and another
01:05:25.080 country anytime a story has all of those qualities to it you should bet against it so if i had to bet
01:05:34.680 10 to 1 odds is bullshit if i had to bet but that's 10 to 1 is there a 10 chance it's real yeah
01:05:43.720 maybe maybe maybe 10 chance um remember i've told you that any individual claim is almost certainly
01:05:51.800 false but that doesn't change the fact that you have a big system that involves software and the
01:05:57.320 odds of a big important system that involves software not being hacked is zero now i don't know if it was
01:06:05.560 hacked this year i don't know if the hacks if they happen changed any results i don't know if there
01:06:12.200 were just as many hacks for trump as against them i don't know if there were any hacks i just know
01:06:17.160 that this system has to be hacked eventually it's either happened is happening or will happen that's
01:06:25.160 the guarantee because all systems get hacked all you need is an insider to be willing to take a bribe
01:06:31.480 that's all it takes um somebody says it looks more real than other claims i don't think so
01:06:38.440 i don't think it's more real than the ones who have been debunked on the surface i don't know what
01:06:44.520 the reality is just on the surface doesn't look real uh there are no techies explaining the vote
01:06:51.720 switching yeah the whole the whole vote switching thing uh i just saw a reference to none of that being
01:06:58.440 real because uh i guess the tv reporting and i can't claim this to be true it's just something i saw on the
01:07:06.600 internet that the way the tv reports the the votes as they come in is estimates and so as new
01:07:14.920 information comes in to change their estimate it is actually completely normal and built into the
01:07:20.840 system that since their estimates sometimes they go up a little and sometimes they go down a little
01:07:26.360 but on average they mostly go up so it would have happened to both candidates and there's no story here
01:07:34.360 except the estimates were showing on the screen which you interpreted to be actual votes now i don't
01:07:42.360 know if that's true but if you if you told me which is more true that version that those numbers were
01:07:50.520 not dependable and they were just estimates or that right in front of us votes were being taken from
01:07:57.400 one candidate and given to another on national tv while you could watch it
01:08:01.640 maybe
01:08:06.360 maybe that happened but i would bet against that
01:08:10.520 right i would bet against that you could watch it happen in real time and it was just on television
01:08:17.400 uh it feels a lot more likely that they were working with estimates that were being updated and
01:08:23.640 sometimes they went backwards but not usually um somebody says we saw it happen
01:08:31.560 what i'm telling you is you didn't you didn't see it happen what i'm telling you is
01:08:36.920 that if the alternate explanation is correct i don't know if it is but if the alternate explanation is
01:08:42.120 that you saw estimates then no you did not see the vote count decreasing you saw estimates which of
01:08:49.960 course will move back and forth as new information comes in uh dr sheev has one part of election
01:08:58.200 fraud in massachusetts court i don't know that story but i'll be interested in it
01:09:05.080 uh you think it was major vote harvesting
01:09:09.800 yeah benford's law somebody saying that's been debunked so one of the problems is that a lot of
01:09:15.400 things that you heard as claims you did not hear the debunk and i i felt that problem too and i complained
01:09:22.760 about it that there should have always been some master list of all the allegations along with what was
01:09:30.200 at least presented as a debunk whether it was real or not so if you've never heard that the benford's
01:09:38.120 law thing was debunked ask yourself if you're getting good information because it was debunked
01:09:47.080 all right um that's all i got for now and um somebody says benford's law is not debunked it's just not
01:09:58.920 definitive that's uh i think that's an accurate statement but doesn't really disagree with debunked
01:10:06.120 meaning that there's a claim that uh rather than saying yeah this is really strong evidence of
01:10:13.720 something it just means you can't tell so i would call that debunked but i accept your
01:10:20.600 clarification that's all i got for you and i'll talk to you tomorrow all right youtubers i don't have
01:10:27.960 much else to say uh yeah benford's is a invitation to investigate right it would be good to have an audit
01:10:36.360 so all of these things are aired out uh matiah says this was a horrible periscope i give a zero out of one
01:10:46.840 i'm gonna put you out of your misery
01:10:53.240 we'll hide you on this jail um i need a micro lesson on finishing projects i might do that one
01:11:02.040 actually i've gotten a few uh requests for something in that category all right that's all for now
01:11:09.560 so
01:11:12.280 you
01:11:14.280 you
01:11:16.280 you
01:11:18.280 you
