00:00:08.520 once again it's going to be incredible well if you'd like it to be really even better than that

00:00:23.500 of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid i like coffee and join me now for the unparalleled

00:00:29.560 pleasure the dopamine hit of the day the thing that makes everything better it's called the

00:00:34.100 simultaneous sip and wow it's going to be good go

00:00:36.940 it was everything i hoped it would be i hope it was good for you too

00:00:45.860 well i may have told you that i was going to get my vaccination yesterday but i'm bad with calendars

00:00:54.080 it turns out it's today and i i'm scheduled for later this afternoon now i told you my strategy

00:01:01.120 would be that i wouldn't make a decision about getting it or not until the last minute that way

00:01:08.480 i'd have as much information as possible well because the simulation uh hates me uh the news

00:01:16.500 decided to serve up today the same day that i'm scheduled to get a vaccination today the news served

00:01:25.700 up all kinds of scary news about vaccinations followed by a number of people who helpfully

00:01:33.100 weighed in and sent me messages saying uh how how painful it was after the second shot and how it just

00:01:41.080 laid them out for a day i've never heard more bad news about a vaccination in 24 hours than the 24 hours

00:01:50.360 before i need to make a decision and i gotta tell you i'm on the bubble an hour before i'm supposed to

00:01:58.680 go you know because i need some drive time i'm gonna decide and i've got to say that as of this moment i

00:02:06.220 haven't it's you know it's scheduled and if later today i decide to do it i'll do it but i gotta say

00:02:16.460 today was the scariest of all the days and it happened to have had to happen today of all days is that a

00:02:24.300 coincidence i wonder remember i told you that when we heard that tiger woods the cause of his crash would

00:02:32.400 be revealed what did i tell you was really going to happen the cause of his crash would not be revealed 0.92

00:02:40.160 i knew there would be a report but i quite accurately deduced that it would be bullshit and it was so

00:02:50.400 here's the mystery we don't know according to the so-called black box from the car he had his uh 0.93

00:02:56.320 accelerator all the way down including when he left the road and all the way across i don't know a

00:03:05.480 field or a forest or whatever until he until his car was no longer functional now some people said

00:03:11.880 it's because he was speeding speeding doesn't make you stay at the gas after you've left the road for a

00:03:20.180 long time it wasn't speeding now some people say but scott he made that mistake people make of

00:03:30.320 thinking he was hitting the brake but he hit the gas instead may i remind you that this isn't you

00:03:38.300 this isn't me this is the most famously skilled and coordinated human that civilization has ever

00:03:51.440 produced if he doesn't know how to drive a car after all this time i'm gonna be really surprised

00:03:59.980 so i don't know what the cause of the crash is which is my point but i feel as though the odds

00:04:08.160 that tiger woods doesn't know how to drive well is the lowest of the possibilities of all the

00:04:16.060 possibilities feels like the smallest one hey tiger woods he's not coordinated and and under pressure

00:04:24.980 he'll do the wrong thing is there anybody in the history of the planet who has performed under

00:04:31.880 pressure more than he has i mean that the official speculations are ridiculous so we don't know the

00:04:38.680 reason but i would say one thing that seems obvious is that unless it was some kind of mechanical

00:04:44.900 malfunction that's not obvious uh that he was unconscious you know anybody who thinks it was a

00:04:54.040 suicide attempt that's dumb it wouldn't be the way you would do it uh anybody who said he fell asleep

00:05:00.160 i don't know that that would explain keeping your foot on the pedal the whole time would it seems like 0.99

00:05:06.880 the first thing you do is take your foot off of everything when you woke up it's like so i don't

00:05:12.120 think he was asleep uh but he might have passed out or been unconscious for some reason

00:05:17.160 um i would like to give some advice to the instagram scammers if you use instagram especially if you're

00:05:25.620 male you probably get many messages every day from fake accounts there's some you know female picture 0.91

00:05:32.640 and they're following you or commenting or they want to dm you or something and i would say maybe a

00:05:40.280 third probably a third of my followers are obviously not real on instagram they're just men who have

00:05:48.640 taken a photo of a woman and they're pretending to be this woman but i have some advice to the

00:05:54.420 scammers if you're trying to dm me with a message request with your little scam

00:06:02.040 it's better if you don't use for your fake picture a picture of my wife because that keyed me off

00:06:11.440 immediately i looked at and said huh there's a picture of my wife i'll bet that's not a real 0.94

00:06:18.440 account so that's my advice don't send me a picture of my wife when you're trying to scam me

00:06:25.200 because i'm going to be onto that right away right away uh christina gets uh her her photo gets used in 0.97

00:06:33.000 just countless scams we get email all the time from somebody who said damn it you know why did you

00:06:40.640 why did you take my money for three years and say you were going to marry me it wasn't her um but 1.00

00:06:47.960 there's a lot of that going on all right uh rasmussen is reporting in their recent polling

00:06:55.480 that uh biden is getting poor marks for the economy and immigration so for his handling of economic

00:07:02.320 issues 46 percent rated him poor now it's important to know what the other options were

00:07:09.360 could have been fair good or excellent now poor is a pretty big statement for somebody who's only

00:07:20.400 been around two months but uh 46 percent think he's doing a poor job and i would think that more

00:07:30.180 more people would have said fair and good you know give him a little honeymoon period but that's pretty

00:07:35.040 bad at the same time uh he gets 50 percent poor uh handling of immigration which also seems high to me

00:07:44.700 for a for a democrat but here's the funny part wouldn't you say those would be two pretty big issues

00:07:52.500 the economy and immigration so he's doing poorly on those things and yet he's very popular

00:07:57.880 why is he so popular if he's doing you know poorly according to something close to half of the

00:08:05.480 country on such critical issues and i have i have a hypothesis and my hypothesis goes like this

00:08:15.420 i have to admit i feel better under president biden now let me explain that let me explain that

00:08:25.560 before you flip out when i say i feel better i mean i don't have any stress i feel as though there are

00:08:33.800 still big problems in the world but i don't feel any stress you know what what biden promised us

00:08:41.940 was to be boring i mean that was actually what a main part of his of his sales pitch was that he

00:08:48.500 would be boring and traditional and he wouldn't cause controversies i'm gonna say he pulled that off

00:08:55.700 does anybody disagree if we're being objective you know don't take sides for a moment just be

00:09:03.260 perfectly objective he promised us he would be boring and that it would be a good result

00:09:08.740 he's pulling it off he is very boring and i feel better now i still would prefer a president trump

00:09:19.120 for getting stuff done i think he'd be better against china i think he's better on immigration

00:09:24.440 better on the economy better on the middle east you know i could go on uh not well he doesn't do

00:09:30.580 great on health care i don't think trump nailed that and you know i have my problems about the

00:09:35.660 capital insurrection blah blah blah so you can have your pluses and your minuses i would still

00:09:40.660 prefer trump for getting stuff done but it's it's still nonetheless true that biden delivered on this

00:09:48.040 promise of being boring and uh my stocks are up right my my net worth is higher under biden than it was

00:09:58.480 under trump it's just a fact i can't i you know i'm not going to lie about a fact my net worth is the

00:10:06.300 highest it's ever been the highest it's ever been under biden now the rules say that he gets some credit for

00:10:14.440 that right even if he didn't do anything that the person in charge gets some credit it just works that

00:10:20.540 way all right we'll uh criticize him later to make you feel better here's something i learned today on

00:10:27.300 twitter that was fascinating now i know you want to make more of this like to fit it into the political

00:10:34.040 argument about transgenders and sports and stuff like that but let's leave that alone for a moment

00:10:39.280 right let's just take the politics out just for a moment so just some information remove the politics

00:10:47.880 from your mind for a moment did you know that in eight different cultures meaning eight different

00:10:54.720 countries in this case that male and female gender binaries aren't uh aren't really the only options

00:11:03.400 apparently in eight different cultures people who are born one gender but choose to live as either an

00:11:10.800 ambiguous gender almost like a third third uh gender or something or just you know live outright

00:11:19.060 the way they want to live you know identifying as one but looking like another and it turns out that

00:11:25.380 there are eight different cultures in which they're not only uh completely accepted but in some cases

00:11:32.940 respected and actually revered or honored or whatever is the right word now i'm not i'm not going to tell

00:11:40.240 you that's good or bad i feel like it's good because i'm you know but i don't i don't mean to

00:11:46.860 influence your opinion on this topic you know everybody just make up their own mind that this is one of

00:11:51.820 those if you're not talking about what the law should be just make up your own mind how you feel about

00:11:57.400 any of this but my in my opinion is positive it's positive that people get to live their their choice of

00:12:06.500 life you know every time i see somebody living their personal choice without being bothered by

00:12:12.220 society or government i'm happy about it i'm happy about it so i hope you could be too did you see the

00:12:20.540 video of aoc trying to explain the israel and palestinian situation it's totally worth looking for it i think it's in

00:12:29.920 my twitter feed from yesterday so if you scroll down you'd see it or just google aoc tries to explain

00:12:37.280 israel and and or the middle east or something it'll pop right up it is funny because apparently

00:12:45.660 she had nothing to say in terms of any kind of a point that would be worth saying in public

00:12:51.580 but it didn't stop her from talking for a long time so the minutes of talking pass with just babble

00:13:00.420 and you have to watch it to see how much of a a train wreck it is now of course uh i've angered many

00:13:07.540 of you by telling you for several years now that aoc is one of the most gifted uh persuasive politicians

00:13:14.400 i've seen i'm starting to change my mind just based on this um if she can't do better than that 0.86

00:13:23.840 talking about a complicated topic i think there might be a cap on her potential and i'm definitely

00:13:30.180 rethinking things i've said about her probably being president in the future when i saw that answer i

00:13:36.560 thought to myself wow you are not ready for presidency that's for sure but maybe someday she has 0.99

00:13:44.300 lots of native talent it just didn't come out in that um there's a study that says that uh one in

00:13:50.680 three covet 19 survivors in a study of more than 230 000 people so it's a big study uh mostly americans

00:13:59.760 were diagnosed with a brain or psychiatric disorder within six months of having covet suggesting the

00:14:08.080 pandemic could lead to a wave of mental and neurological problems now and then for the

00:14:14.280 they drilled down a little bit and the main things that people were complaining about

00:14:17.660 were anxiety 17 percent of them had that and mood disorders at 14 percent now apparently the number

00:14:25.280 of people in this group was far greater than the number of people in the uh in the general population

00:14:32.940 so therefore they think there's something going on here now there's no known connection uh in terms of

00:14:39.740 the physics of it or the chemistry nobody knows how having covet would necessarily change your brain

00:14:46.640 you know afterwards but you have to worry right you got to worry here's my question one in three

00:14:56.320 um were diagnosed within six months of having psychiatric problems but not you know nothing like uh

00:15:05.740 schizophrenia or something like that more like anxiety and mood disorders how far is that from the

00:15:13.220 baseline that's my question is is one third of people having uh let's say mental psychological problems

00:15:23.560 during the pandemic when they just had to social isolate and their life was turned upside down by having

00:15:30.800 covid they just went through in some cases a near-death experience

00:15:36.040 it feels to me that i don't trust this as really telling us anything i mean it's certainly a red flag so we

00:15:46.700 should look into it further but on initial reports um

00:15:52.180 sethro is saying don't take the vaccination today because you lost too many things and don't want to lose

00:16:03.680 me well i think you paid too much for that point but i do appreciate it very much and uh

00:16:10.680 um i haven't decided but it's unlikely i'll die from it i mean i don't think that that's pretty

00:16:17.920 pretty remote so we'll see anyway i don't know if these mental disorders are above the baseline i really

00:16:26.560 don't because i think people are flipping out just all day long because the just the whole situation

00:16:34.120 and if you had certainly gone through some scary scary ptsd situation where you actually had the

00:16:41.240 the virus and maybe it affected you quite a bit i could see why that would put you into a therapist's

00:16:47.800 office so i don't know that the it's the virus that's causing it it might be the situation that's

00:16:55.220 causing it so that would be my one curiosity about this

00:16:58.340 well as you know the biden administration has decided that they might want to fix some of those

00:17:06.900 gaps in the wall oh not build the wall building the wall would be evil instead they're gonna fill

00:17:14.240 the gaps totally different than building a wall which is one might explain as being a process of

00:17:21.920 filling gaps so it's not like a wall that fills gaps rather it's completely different

00:17:27.580 it's filling the gaps in the wall and i i think that explains it um but uh joel pollack writes in

00:17:37.320 breitbart today that brett stevens who's a never trumper columnist in the new york times uh he just

00:17:44.160 published a column in which he he calls upon joe biden to finish trump's wall along the southern u.s border

00:17:51.680 now of course brett is not a democrat but um still we're seeing a never trumper saying

00:17:58.880 you know maybe trump wasn't that bad so this has been my prediction that we're going to see more and

00:18:07.260 more of this that trump will be redeemed on a number of areas it just takes some time um i want to tell

00:18:14.000 you that i've had a number of press requests lately so members of the press uh several of them have

00:18:22.200 contacted me lately and said can we talk to you about something i've decided that i can't think of

00:18:30.800 any reason i would ever talk to the press again unless i was promoting a book right and we're talking

00:18:36.560 about the book or or something about me but can you think of any good reason that i should ever talk to

00:18:43.660 the press about a political topic because what would happen do you think there's any chance

00:18:52.460 that a political reporter would uh report what i said in proper context i don't think there's any

00:19:00.220 chance why would you put yourself in that position because there's nothing i i could gain from it i mean

00:19:07.320 i could tweet my opinions all day long and and get them out there i know enough people watch my

00:19:12.300 my tweets i'm not at any shortage for audience and so i thought it just doesn't make sense anymore

00:19:20.680 because the press has become so illegitimate that regardless of what you say about any one reporter

00:19:27.620 being you know honest and and capable you just can't take that chance anymore it makes no sense

00:19:34.860 to let a reporter quote you because you know it's going to be misquote and then there's nothing you can

00:19:41.340 do just makes no sense

00:19:42.940 so something interesting is happening

00:19:47.500 we're getting to the good stuff now you ready for the good stuff this is why you come

00:19:55.100 all right we're going to ease into it all right you ready so begins your journey behind the curtain

00:20:03.940 so uh china is hosting allegedly the winter olympics for 2022 and apparently china has warned

00:20:12.400 washington not to boycott the winter olympics because you know i guess they're worried that that

00:20:17.700 might be one option uh to which i say i don't think boycotting is exactly the right play but i'll tell

00:20:26.580 you what is now i don't think this will necessarily be done but here's another example where if trump

00:20:35.000 were president this would be done so what i say next just understand that because you know you the

00:20:44.480 public elected biden this play is unavailable to you but trump would have done it i mean i i feel

00:20:51.560 confident he would have done this and here's the idea tell china we won't boycott the olympics

00:20:58.420 uh unless they don't end their fentanyl death um attack on the united states you just make you just

00:21:07.120 make it simple there's one thing we want stop sending fentanyl to the united states like you promised

00:21:14.220 but never happened we gave you the names of the fentanyl dealers just go round them up and then we

00:21:22.060 would be happy to attend your olympics it would feel like hey you did something for us step in the

00:21:27.360 right direction we'll do something for you i mean it's for us too it's the olympics but at least it would

00:21:32.780 be polite and we'll and maybe we'll get some uh movement forward in into a better relationship

00:21:39.360 do you see how well that would work china would not be able to even address the question

00:21:49.320 without admitting that they're attacking the united states with fentanyl they don't want this topic

00:21:56.280 to be in the news so what you do is you tie it to their freaking olympics see where i'm going with 0.99

00:22:02.580 this once you tie those stories together their olympics are fucking dead just like the people 0.99

00:22:10.400 they killed with their fentanyl now i'm not saying we should boycott the olympics you know there are 0.99

00:22:18.700 lots of considerations here but i sure wouldn't go if they're still sending us fentanyl and let me go

00:22:27.840 further i know there are athletes who've trained all their lives and and certainly their careers and

00:22:33.260 livelihoods and everything else depend on doing well in these olympics but i feel as if attending

00:22:40.700 the olympics would be no different than attending uh nazi germany olympics given the situation i feel it 0.58

00:22:47.440 would be no different than attending the olympics in you know iran while they're you know nuking the

00:22:54.860 united states they're not yet but you know what i mean so if you're an athlete you're in a tough

00:23:00.160 situation but uh i can't say i would respect anybody who attended the olympics there i i couldn't respect

00:23:06.860 that i understand it i understand it i mean i'm not gonna boycott any athlete who goes because if you

00:23:14.400 work your whole life for an olympics it's kind of unfair to ask you not to go but i gotta tell you i

00:23:21.560 wouldn't respect you i wouldn't have any respect for anybody who attended the chinese olympics 0.96

00:23:26.260 the olympics in china um so a chinese agent on twitter i'll just call him that because twitter labeled

00:23:35.300 his tweets china state affiliated media now um i love the fact yeah somebody's saying in the comments that

00:23:44.900 i don't believe biden's even mentioned i don't believe he's mentioned fentanyl has he hasn't even

00:23:52.200 mentioned it yeah um so this fellow on on twitter who's obviously affiliated with chinese government and we

00:24:04.060 assume that he's working for them directly or indirectly and he replied to president biden's tweet in which

00:24:12.760 trains were mentioned and this chinese may be an agent but at least he's state affiliated

00:24:19.320 uh he tweets this he goes talking about trains president biden may want to send a team to china

00:24:26.200 to study how china built its magnificent high-speed rail system in a matter of 10 to 20 years there is

00:24:33.440 so much uh there is so much for win-win cooperation if u.s abandons its containment strategy

00:24:40.920 that will make both poorer now that does sound exactly like it came from the chinese government

00:24:46.940 doesn't it so after that um when he said how well china did building their high-speed rail system so

00:24:54.600 quickly i tweeted back just two words slave labor well i don't think he could let that sit so he

00:25:04.100 responded back to me he said uh you have never been to china question mark the slave labor only happened

00:25:11.520 when the u.s used chinese laborers to build the pacific railroads more than a hundred years ago

00:25:17.820 zing and enslaved many african americans zing he said i had an african american host family in detroit

00:25:27.620 who never forgets who never forgets this part of history well thank you for the incorrect history

00:25:34.080 lesson because i don't i saw some people in china questioning the the fact that the chinese laborers

00:25:41.040 were slaves but i do imagine that it wasn't far from it right not technically slaves but maybe not that

00:25:48.980 far from it in in practical terms so i responded to his uh his question uh have you ever visited china

00:25:57.560 and i said i'd love to visit your famous uyghur training facilities to see how china gets things

00:26:04.440 done can you also give me a tour of the fentanyl production facilities that killed george floyd and 0.97

00:26:10.980 my stepson i don't believe he's responded after i sent that because i feel that uh maybe he fucked with 0.93

00:26:20.600 the wrong person didn't quite realize it when he did it may have realized it after the second tweet

00:26:26.900 but let me tell you if you want to have a conversation with me in public

00:26:34.580 it's going to go this way every time it's never going to end well for china so please china send your 1.00

00:26:43.960 tweets my way i would like to engage with you on any level you'd like so that was 600 000 people who

00:26:53.980 just learned about china so good work there chinese agent you just uh you just made china a little less

00:27:01.480 popular speaking of chinese popularity a 2020 chicago uh survey so this is last year but it said that on a

00:27:12.160 measure from zero to one uh where they were measuring american views of china so zero would be a very

00:27:19.640 unfavorable view and 100 would be the best apparently we've hit an all-time low of 32

00:27:26.620 so since uh the last several years the american view of china has gone to its all-time low

00:27:37.640 do you remember what i told you i would do in 2018 i told you i'd make their popularity go to an all-time

00:27:47.000 low now i don't take credit for it we had this large orange person named trump who said a lot of things

00:27:55.360 about china as did gordon chang and kyle bass and you know tom cotton and lots of other people so a lot of

00:28:04.100 people have been pushing in the same direction and apparently apparently successfully apparently

00:28:10.520 successfully because china is now less popular than it has ever been you're welcome um 1.00

00:28:19.100 so cnn is reporting uh in an opinion piece that not many people want to be a republican at the moment

00:28:27.660 it says the party's brand is quite clearly damaged after four years of donald trump seeking to break

00:28:35.380 every political norm possible i think this was chris salissa's opinion piece now what do you think

00:28:42.680 of this statement the party's brand talking about republicans the party's brand is quite clearly damaged

00:28:49.260 after four years of donald trump seeking to break every political norm possible it feels as if when he

00:28:57.100 says after that he's implying causation do you think that the causation is right do you think that the

00:29:05.420 party's brand is damaged because of trump is that what damaged it do you think or i'm just going to put that

00:29:16.120 out there could it be the way they covered him because it would be pretty easy to imagine that they had

00:29:23.880 covered him differently that the brand would be fine so the thing that people don't quite realize and i know

00:29:32.520 you do because my audience is smarter than the norm but the public doesn't quite realize that the news

00:29:38.980 business let's take cnn as an example has this weird power that only your boss at work has

00:29:46.060 only your boss at work can cause a problem himself or herself or they self and blame it on you

00:29:57.420 because the boss has the ability to cause a problem and then assign blame for the problem to an underling

00:30:04.400 that's not a good situation especially if you're the underling but cnn has the same ability they can

00:30:12.080 cause a problem and then assign it to somebody that's what they just did they created the problem

00:30:18.280 of the the brand of republicans going down they did that they did all of that now of course trump gave

00:30:26.040 them some material to work with that's not irrelevant right but do you think if a the objective

00:30:33.920 coverage of the president would have resulted in a worse brand for for republicans i don't think so

00:30:43.280 i don't think so so there it is cnn is uh gaslighting the uh well i hate to use that term but they're

00:30:52.020 brainwashing the public into believing that they are the observer of the problem not the cause of it

00:30:59.120 when so clearly they're the cause of it and most of the public will buy this interpretation

00:31:04.500 that that trump did this it's amazing

00:31:08.660 all right uh i've been telling some people online much to their chagrin that whatever they believe

00:31:18.000 about the floyd situation and the uh shauvin shaven whatever it is trial i said uh that they were

00:31:25.660 brainwashed to believe what they believe and people said scott scott scott i saw the video

00:31:33.400 with my own eyes i saw it i looked right at it not only did i look at it and come up with my own

00:31:42.660 completely independent opinion based on the video but may i point out that there are other police

00:31:50.820 officials police officials and other experts who also saw the video and agree with me therefore scott

00:32:01.700 there's nothing else to say about this trial we all saw the video boom case case closed floyd was

00:32:08.620 murdered by shaven that's what they say what they don't realize is that those opinions didn't come

00:32:17.980 from them it feels like they did because everybody believes they make up make up their own mind

00:32:24.940 but anybody who trained in persuasion can see that those those are assigned opinions the media assigns

00:32:35.660 opinions it doesn't report the news it tells you what your opinion is and it assigns it how did they do

00:32:43.900 it in the george floyd case well they did it by the way they talked about the video if you prime somebody

00:32:51.160 to say what you're going to see is terrible uh you know it appears that this police officer is murdering

00:32:57.400 somebody and the crowd's trying to stop him and uh we don't think drugs are part of it right

00:33:04.560 once you've been primed that's all you see and people don't realize they've been primed they just think

00:33:13.000 that there was some coverage people talked about it then they watched it and then they believe

00:33:19.700 that their own little brain came up to an opinion nothing like that happened in anybody who's trained

00:33:27.520 in persuasion and psychology hypnosis they will all agree with me by the way there's nobody who would

00:33:33.160 disagree with this who has training in the field this would be completely agreeable so all these people

00:33:41.180 who think they have an opinion that they came up with nope and this is true of most of our stories

00:33:49.620 most of our stories are assigned opinions now people are going to say scott scott scott what about all

00:33:59.140 those crazy right-wing things that people believe what about that are you leaving out all the crazy

00:34:04.140 things they believe on the other side no clearly republicans some subset of them not all of them

00:34:13.180 believe crazy stuff that's that's obvious i wouldn't argue against that but the crazy stuff that

00:34:22.620 republicans believe it seems to fall into the category of conspiracy theory sort of stuff

00:34:28.160 it doesn't feel it doesn't have that same organized brainwashing you know flavor to it it just

00:34:37.120 somehow spontaneously you know came up now some have said that q was an intel operation which would

00:34:45.540 also mean that that opinions had been assigned somebody skillful was doing it and maybe but i tend to

00:34:52.440 think that the republicans some of them get drawn into conspiracy theories whereas the democrats are

00:34:59.460 literally brainwashed by their own side now there's some brainwashing on the right as well you know

00:35:06.480 people who follow you follow some of the you know more prominent opinion people probably are primed and

00:35:12.600 brainwashed just like the left but in different ways but i haven't seen anything from the right

00:35:18.900 that look malicious there is a difference right if you i'll just pick one example if you see

00:35:26.560 if you see hannity um trying to brainwash you i'll just use that term you know for to make my point

00:35:34.500 if you saw hannity trying to brainwash his followers into the idea that we should have better border

00:35:40.920 security is that manipulation or is that just a common sense opinion and if you happen to adopt it

00:35:51.300 you would sort of be following common sense too now i know people who disagree with the policy but

00:35:57.680 certainly there are plenty of people who would have exactly the same opinion as hannity without being 0.97

00:36:03.740 primed right so um i'm not sure that anything he's doing is necessarily priming anybody for anything

00:36:12.840 evil but it's happening right it's happening everywhere all the time um but the floyd situation

00:36:19.560 does appear to be um pure evil in terms of the brainwashing and i was watching a little bit of

00:36:28.160 don lemon last night oh my god that's hard to watch because he's in pure persuasion brainwashing

00:36:36.960 mode over the the floyd case because he like other people by now know that the case has fallen apart

00:36:43.160 and and he's intentionally priming his audience he's priming them to believe that if if uh chauvin is

00:36:53.020 acquitted of let's say the the most aggressive charges the murder charges that if he's acquitted

00:36:58.080 it will look like a miscarriage of justice that's what that's what don lemon is priming his audience

00:37:04.620 for he's priming them for a miscarriage of justice now when the result comes out what will the people

00:37:11.380 who are primed think they came up with out of their own opinion they will think they formed their own

00:37:19.880 independent opinion and that wow this is a travesty of justice if it if it goes that way right

00:37:26.320 and it won't be their opinion it will be a primed opinion now how powerful is this priming thing

00:37:35.000 you're wondering right well let me tell you the defense used it used it as part of the defense

00:37:42.500 so remember the disagreement about whether the uh whether floyd had uttered it was hard to hear

00:37:49.980 something like i i ain't doing no drugs is one version or i ate uh the drugs now it's very different

00:38:00.660 if he ingested them ate them versus he claimed he didn't have them now what nelson did the defense

00:38:08.160 is he used this priming concept i assume intentionally i don't know but based on the level of uh

00:38:17.840 so based on the level of persuasive excellence that he's bringing to the case it would be hard

00:38:24.760 for me to imagine he didn't do this intentionally but you don't know right and what he did was he

00:38:29.520 primed um somebody one of the witnesses by telling them what they were going to hear and then asking

00:38:36.340 if he heard it now you've done enough yes that's right you've done enough laurel and yanny haven't you

00:38:42.880 if you know laurel and yanny and there are several other audio hallucinations like that you know

00:38:49.980 that whatever nelson told them to hear given that it was ambiguous he made them hear it

00:38:57.640 and he actually got a witness to say he heard it right in court the next day i believe this is true

00:39:06.180 the next day the prosecution put the same person on showed him a little bit more context

00:39:11.580 reprimed him and then he heard the other thing so you saw a human being a perfectly rational

00:39:19.940 normal human nothing wrong with his brain you saw him primed twice to have an opinion that was

00:39:29.320 assigned to him you watched his opinion be assigned to him in real time in court in public he is and

00:39:41.800 you saw it and then you saw the prosecution reassign it and is stuck now how did the news report this

00:39:50.820 turnaround that the prosecution got the defense's witness to completely change his story

00:39:58.880 it was sort of reported like the prosecution was was doing a good job wouldn't you say and if you

00:40:07.000 heard that the prosecution was doing a good job what would you assume would be the outcome well

00:40:13.040 we'd need to know more of course but it would look like they're heading toward a prosecution

00:40:17.080 wouldn't it because the prosecution won this point

00:40:21.620 except what was it that the prosecution won see nelson the defense lawyer is doing such a good job

00:40:33.320 that is making me think that some things that could be accidents maybe were intentional like he's that

00:40:41.020 good that doesn't mean they're not just accidents but he's that good that you have to ask yourself the

00:40:46.900 question so here's the question did he goad the prosecution into reversing what was heard from

00:40:58.240 floyd such that he showed that floyd was lying to the police officers because if it were true

00:41:06.820 that floyd said which is what the prosecution wanted you to believe that floyd said i ain't got no drugs or

00:41:15.180 ain't ain't do no drugs or something like that the prosecution established that floyd was lying

00:41:23.480 about a critical health related issue during the arrest

00:41:29.700 that's exculpatory isn't it am i crazy if the entire situation is what did the police know

00:41:42.480 what they learned because remember shaven we know from from shaven's conversation with his superiors

00:41:50.420 we know that he suspected floyd was on drugs i would say he probably knew it wouldn't you probably

00:41:57.300 knew it but he didn't know what drugs floyd says no i'm not doing drugs what does the policeman

00:42:05.140 now know about the suspect he knows that the suspect will lie to him because he just did an obvious lie

00:42:14.080 i ain't got no drugs well if that's what shaven heard he knew that he had a lying suspect who had also

00:42:21.720 resisted arrest now if you have a a proven lying suspect i mean lying right now in the moment and that

00:42:31.320 suspect says i can't breathe which other testimony showed is fairly common you know the a suspect who's

00:42:39.500 under custody kind of commonly says i can't breathe the handcuffs hurt you know my arm is breaking that

00:42:46.260 sort of thing you put that all together and it feels like nelson may have tricked the prosecution

00:42:54.500 into making nelson's point that shaven was dealing with a liar and when the liar said i can't breathe

00:43:03.560 what was shaven supposed to think he was dealing with a known liar who had just lied to him on this

00:43:10.200 very topic now keep in mind after you've heard my explanation of what happened would you agree that

00:43:21.280 this is better for the defense than it is for the prosecution am i wrong about that am i missing

00:43:26.960 something because it looks like it to me and yet cnn and others are reporting it as if it was good for

00:43:35.080 the prosecution this is a massive brainwashing operation the the news presumably democrats as well

00:43:46.140 are quite obviously brainwashing the public to create and this is completely obviously riots

00:43:54.760 it's plain as day they're lying to their their own audience to brainwash them into thinking that

00:44:05.420 if there's some kind of an acquittal or anything close to it just say lesser charges maybe

00:44:10.680 there's going to be riots right in front of us now i would say that if you did not study persuasion

00:44:18.580 this wouldn't be obvious at all would it now a lot of you have followed me long enough that

00:44:24.980 probably was obvious to you because you know once you see it you can see it forever you know but if you

00:44:30.360 don't see it for the first time it's invisible forever you got to see it that first time to be able

00:44:35.880 to spot it so um i would like to give you the uh chauvin defense summary before it actually happens

00:44:48.660 all right so at some point chauvin's defense lawyer is going to have to give a summary to wrap up the

00:44:54.380 case but luckily uh thanks to a tweet by matt well walsh matt walsh who by the way i will add to my

00:45:03.000 must follow list you should follow matt walsh uh if only because his tweets are excellent

00:45:09.320 i don't agree with you like all of his opinions but his tweeting is just really excellent like he's

00:45:17.420 just one of the best tweeters out there and uh here's what he tweeted uh tweeted to somebody

00:45:26.540 so he was responding to ron swanson's mustache who was uh who said to matt you know replying to

00:45:35.000 one of his tweets he said why do you why don't you volunteer to have chauvin test the exact same move

00:45:41.400 on you as part of his defense and see how it goes so how about that matt walsh huh what are you gonna

00:45:48.740 say to that how about you you're so confident about your opinion about this floyd trial thing

00:45:54.600 why don't you why don't you why don't you volunteer have somebody put a neck you know

00:46:01.620 have the knee on your neck see how you do matt walsh ha ha ha ha zing zing well it didn't go the

00:46:10.600 way he hoped ron swanson's mustache because uh uh matt walsh replied in a tweet uh if i had someone

00:46:22.840 restrain me the way floyd was restrained and you ingested the same amount of fentanyl that he did

00:46:29.480 three times the lethal dose which of us do you think would make it out alive

00:46:34.640 slow clap i've not you you rarely see an argument won this decisively

00:46:47.320 i don't i don't think this guy came back he he may have closed his account and when i said that i i saw

00:46:55.260 this i said to myself that's the closing summary this is the closing summary ladies and gentlemen of

00:47:04.340 the jury we've seen a few different uh hypotheses of what killed um george floyd tragically and

00:47:14.000 there is some uncertainty whether it was the fentanyl what what uh role it played and what role did

00:47:21.160 the police actions play but i would like you to consider this if you had two choices for yourself

00:47:28.540 would you rather have nine minutes of uh an officer restraining you the same way that george floyd was

00:47:37.200 restrained or would you prefer to take three times the lethal dose of fentanyl now it won't necessarily

00:47:45.860 kill you because you might have built enough built up a tolerance and people are different sizes and

00:47:52.060 that counts too but which one would you choose it's over it's over every single juror would think 0.98

00:48:01.740 um i feel as if three times the lethal dose of fentanyl is the wrong play now it seems to be because i

00:48:12.020 think the prosecution has tried to muddy the water waters on how much fentanyl was in floyd does that

00:48:19.600 matter suppose the the uh the prosecution gets somebody to say we thought there was traces of it but it's

00:48:30.780 it's ambiguous that's enough it's reasonable doubt that's the end of the case because people looking

00:48:41.240 at this case i think they you sort of reflexively because the world is binary you you sort of

00:48:47.440 reflexively think well could you prove that the officer didn't kill him and the answer is you can

00:48:54.700 never prove that that's not provable but you could prove that there's an alternate hypothesis which is

00:49:03.740 at least as likely as the one you were looking at and then it's reasonable doubt and then it's over

00:49:09.000 although i would think that the question of whether shaven did everything right police wise might be

00:49:16.300 open and i don't know if that means manslaughter is still on the table but i don't think that first or

00:49:22.700 third or second degree murder or even a possibility at this point given given the type of evidence we've

00:49:30.460 seen so i've told you that there are many filters on the world so you we can all look at the world in

00:49:37.620 the same set of facts and we can apply different filters sometimes i call it two movies on one screen

00:49:43.100 other times i just say it's a filter but there's one that i live in all the time that most of you

00:49:52.680 don't i'm going to tell you about it just because i think it's interesting uh it's based on two movies

00:49:59.740 you've probably seen you've seen harry potter movies and you've seen maybe um some kate beckinsale

00:50:05.960 movies called underworld in which he's a vampire fighting against werewolves now both of these

00:50:12.860 movies have one thing in common they have this theme that the normal people in society don't know

00:50:19.260 there's this raging war happening so in the case of harry potter it's the you know the wizards and

00:50:25.340 stuff and in the case of underworld there's this massive battle between vampires and werewolves going on

00:50:33.780 all the time but you know the the humans don't know what's even happening there's something like

00:50:39.860 that happening right now meaning that almost everything that matters has turned into persuasion

00:50:47.740 plays because communication is so thorough now with social media the persuasion went from something

00:50:54.760 that maybe you could only do if you were a politician or you owned a newspaper and now it's something

00:51:01.400 that's just everywhere like persuasion is is the it's almost like the fabric of society at this

00:51:08.740 point and there are two kinds of people in the world there are people who have studied persuasion

00:51:15.400 and can see it and understand it and you know they can avoid it better because they can see it coming

00:51:21.220 etc and then there are people who don't and this creates a situation very much like harry potter

00:51:28.140 and the muggles and very much like underworld where there's this gigantic battle that's waging right 0.99

00:51:35.780 now that you don't see but some people do so i will just tell you this there is a war happening

00:51:45.320 already and it's it's it's pretty active the war is raging you just don't see it there are people

00:51:56.380 people and i'm one of them who are in it and we're fighting it pretty hard and we are coordinated

00:52:05.300 there is an army forming literally an army of persuaders who are just finding each other and

00:52:14.740 connecting as they connect their combined power will rise until it is rivaling and maybe it already

00:52:24.700 does governments themselves and we're fighting against the mainstream media which is a machine that

00:52:32.740 works with the democrats and they are a persuasion machine this floyd situation will highlight this

00:52:39.200 battle better than anything because the one side is trying to make a riot to happen or a series of

00:52:46.260 riots and the let's say the fledgling formed group of persuaders who are actually trained i'm talking

00:52:56.480 about people i'm not just talking about people who care i'm talking about trained persuaders like the

00:53:02.480 dangerous people the dangerous people are finding each other and they are the patriots they they just

00:53:11.120 want to avoid the trouble to thwart the other persuasion to stop a riot all right so you'll never see this

00:53:21.300 maybe you'll see some signs of it right but you're never going to see the real battle

00:53:26.340 but it's raging right now it's raging and

00:53:31.520 if i had to guess i don't think we're going to win the floyd one if i had to guess i think the

00:53:39.020 riots are coming because i don't think we'll be strong enough collectively by then but we're going

00:53:46.460 to get close and i think that you should find some comfort from knowing that very capable people

00:53:52.240 are looking for the levers the levers are not always obvious but sometimes sometimes you can

00:54:01.260 find one and it won't take more than one persuader finding one lever and the other side will collapse

00:54:10.020 now that's not to say it's going to happen because finding that one level of persuasion that

00:54:15.980 makes the other side collapse is not easy but the right people are looking for it that's what you need

00:54:22.200 to know so um probable riots but there's a lot of effort that's being put together behind the curtain

00:54:30.320 to stop this particular brainwashing operation in fact i would say that most of what we consider the

00:54:37.000 news now would be better characterized as um psyops you know just literally brainwashing operations

00:54:44.960 and i don't mean that with any hyperbole there's no hyperbole here i mean literally brainwashing

00:54:51.220 operations and so here's one so i'm still waiting i tweeted days ago uh i'm still waiting for one

00:55:03.260 example of somebody who wants to vote but can't get an id just one just one example of somebody who wants

00:55:12.560 to vote can't get an id zero did you believe this was real that there was some body of people

00:55:21.700 substantial number of people who wanted to vote couldn't get an id because they're poor they

00:55:27.200 couldn't afford it couldn't figure it out whatever this is a brainwashing operation

00:55:33.740 this is a psyop none of this is real and it's one of the biggest stories in the country and it's not

00:55:44.340 real the george floyd thing assuming that we do get confirmation he had some fentanyl in him i think

00:55:51.620 we will the george floyd thing probably is it just a giant psyop and that's why it's you know it's

00:55:59.500 everything that we're talking about um now that doesn't mean there's like some one boss that's

00:56:06.460 ordering things it's a it's a collective situation where people know what to do and you know it's just

00:56:12.200 obvious how to help your team as it were but the number of things that are not really news and they're

00:56:19.880 not just fake news fake news would allow that it's just a mistake fake news would allow it's some

00:56:27.280 partisan who's just trying to sell you you know a story this is different this is a whole operation

00:56:35.240 this is a lot of moving parts this isn't just somebody who decided to lie because it sounded good

00:56:40.660 on tv um donald luskin twitter user tweeted this which caught my attention set the persuasion technique

00:56:51.860 aside talking about the id the voting id issue he says set the persuasion technique aside and ask why

00:57:00.540 dems want to reduce id requirements why do they want to do it since such requirements as you say are

00:57:09.280 not restricting voting meaning that there's really nobody who wants to vote doesn't have an id

00:57:13.980 then what other reason could there be what other reason could there be hmm says donald what could

00:57:23.720 you do in big democrat controlled urban centers if ids weren't required hmm so donald is suggesting

00:57:30.900 that uh they're trying to support their ability to cheat in future operations but and you know and i think

00:57:40.660 you can make that case it seems clear that both the republicans want to game the rules so they get

00:57:47.020 more votes the democrats want to game the rules so they get more votes has nothing to do with the

00:57:51.800 constitution or right to vote or poor people voting has nothing to do with any of that you all know that

00:57:57.920 right there's nothing happening except people trying to game the system to get more votes

00:58:03.700 that's nothing to do with what's right or wrong from either side now that said certainly there's

00:58:11.000 one set of actions which is more appropriate but that's not why we're doing it we're not doing it

00:58:18.240 because we like things to be right that would be great if we did but that's not why both sides are

00:58:23.880 just gaming the system trying to get more votes that's all it is if you think it's anything more

00:58:28.780 than that you bought into the brainwashing either from the left or the right but it's just brainwashing

00:58:36.020 if you think they're doing it because it's the right thing to do they're doing it to get more votes

00:58:40.900 that's it so here's my take on why they might be doing it or rather i would say an outcome of it

00:58:50.460 there is a predictable outcome isn't there of uh of requiring uh no ids if the democrats get their way

00:59:02.260 there will be a shift in power what will the shift be what shift in political power will there be

00:59:11.580 in a world in which ids are not required if you were to believe the narrative if you were to believe

00:59:21.140 the brainwashing which we're all experienced right right now the story would be well scott 0.83

00:59:27.860 we're we keep telling you all these uh low-income black people uh they're not getting to vote so 0.97

00:59:35.480 obviously duh if we remove this requirement we're shifting power to black voters 0.99

00:59:42.000 who's going to argue with that right i won't i i self-identify as black so i'm fine with that

00:59:51.480 and back when i self-identified as white i also thought that was a good idea more votes more good

00:59:58.900 if you're if you're a black voter or you're black citizen in this country and you can't vote

01:00:05.080 i want you to vote get in there and vote but i feel as if there's something else that would happen

01:00:12.960 here i feel as if the number of black voters might stay just about the same because there never were

01:00:20.380 any black voters who couldn't get an id it was always fake but what kind of voters generally speaking

01:00:29.940 might have some political benefit from not needing an id wouldn't it be recent immigrants 1.00

01:00:39.240 it feels like it's transferring power away from black americans toward recent immigrants 0.84

01:00:49.920 now i'm not going to say that's bad or good because these recent immigrants they live here too

01:00:56.180 right so if you ask me am i personally better off or do i care if a little power is transferred from 0.56

01:01:03.500 the black population to let's say the you know hispanic population in this country does that bother me 1.00

01:01:10.560 well i can't think of a way it does directly except that i like a you know a world that works and it's fair 0.93

01:01:17.740 but i think the black population of this country is being brainwashed into thinking this voter id thing

01:01:26.000 is about them i think it's not i think it's about taking power from them and everybody else and

01:01:34.520 transferring it to a group that really doesn't have ideas which would be recent immigrants right 0.99

01:01:40.380 so i'm just speculating so all i'm saying is that if you're looking at it objectively

01:01:46.980 and you don't believe that there's a large population of black uh wannabe voters who just

01:01:53.660 can't get id which i don't i don't believe there's any evidence of that at all black voting won't change 0.96

01:01:59.960 at all but recent immigrant voting might go up quite a bit is that it is that a coincidence i don't know

01:02:08.260 so the things that look like uh brainwashing ops right now is uh everything about the floyd trial

01:02:13.940 to create a riot the georgia you know situation being you know uh jim crow laws that that's obviously

01:02:22.140 a brainwashing operation there's a uh big story that just disappeared from the headlines and i can't

01:02:29.360 tell you what it is but that was a brainwashing operation in the sense that you know the news

01:02:34.460 disappeared a story uh if you want to look at stuff on the right q q anon was you know people

01:02:42.920 ended up being convinced but i don't know if that was a brainwashing operation could have been could

01:02:48.760 have been we don't know i think uh there are lots of elements of the uh matt gates story no matter what

01:02:54.840 he did all right so i don't know what he did or did not do so independent of what he did or did not do

01:03:01.020 the way it's being handled is a brainwashing operation right no nobody's trying to get to

01:03:06.640 the truth of what matt gates did or did not do nobody cares about that they uh they they do care

01:03:14.960 yeah oh yeah somebody gave me another example the big lie the big lie is a brainwashing operation

01:03:21.660 now what they would like you to believe because this is the brainwashing operation

01:03:25.800 is that the people who they say are lying about um election fraud that they're the ones trying to

01:03:33.540 brainwash you or they're the ones crazy but of course using that phrase the big lie is a brainwashing

01:03:41.380 operation that's not news or even close to news that's just brainwashing and and that phrase the big

01:03:47.000 lie is just a classic persuasion technique um and then there's a capital insurrection that i would call

01:03:54.660 a mass brainwashing thing as well probably on both sides right there were people who were brainwashed

01:04:00.780 to think that you know assaulting the capital would somehow work out and people brainwashed to think

01:04:06.300 that it was an insurrection when it was obviously just a protest protest that was violent i'm not

01:04:11.640 minimizing the violence but it wasn't an insurrection right they weren't going to hold territory

01:04:17.300 that was just brainwashing so

01:04:20.620 um

01:04:23.040 those are the points

01:04:25.380 that i wanted to do today

01:04:28.420 um

01:04:30.060 yes and the the fine people hoax was of course a brainwashing operation

01:04:35.380 but at least we

01:04:37.280 at least we uh

01:04:39.040 i think we unwound that enough that at least biden doesn't mention it anymore

01:04:43.240 i'm pretty sure biden found out that wasn't real

01:04:46.000 at some point

01:04:47.460 and i think it happened during the during the election or soon after

01:04:51.620 uh and it probably happened about the time

01:04:54.900 that uh i think it was about the time that the republicans showed the entire video

01:05:00.080 was it during the uh impeachment trial

01:05:03.480 i would love to know

01:05:05.440 if biden ever referred to the fine people hoax after

01:05:09.400 the um

01:05:11.840 the republicans showed the whole video in public

01:05:15.180 to show to debunk it

01:05:16.700 i don't know if he did he might have

01:05:18.720 he might have tried it out a few times but he doesn't use it now

01:05:21.420 that's worth something

01:05:23.200 was it the second impeachment

01:05:25.640 somebody says yes he did

01:05:27.580 yeah i wouldn't be surprised

01:05:29.160 but

01:05:30.760 he seems to a trailing off that a little bit

01:05:33.340 somebody says man-made climate change is a massive brainwashing operation

01:05:39.880 well

01:05:40.200 you know i thought about that one

01:05:42.980 but it has a different element

01:05:44.700 which is

01:05:45.620 if we all agreed what the facts were

01:05:47.940 and we all

01:05:49.260 i guess trusted science the same amount

01:05:52.540 we probably wouldn't disagree

01:05:54.640 so it's a little bit more of a fact problem

01:05:58.020 that is legitimate

01:05:59.300 so you know

01:06:01.220 there are some cases where the facts are easy to find

01:06:03.580 and then it's just persuasion

01:06:04.780 but in a case where you really can't tell

01:06:06.820 which facts are necessarily the

01:06:08.460 the most critical ones

01:06:10.400 i feel that's a little different situation

01:06:12.800 but there's definitely some

01:06:13.780 a lot

01:06:14.960 of persuasion in that story as well

01:06:17.140 all right

01:06:18.700 yes

01:06:19.400 trust the science

01:06:20.320 doubt the scientist

01:06:21.240 yeah

01:06:23.860 97 percent of scientists agreeing

01:06:26.380 was a persuasion

01:06:27.580 tactic

01:06:28.740 now persuasion's not bad

01:06:30.600 you expect everybody who's an advocate

01:06:32.800 to be a persuader

01:06:33.820 but i think you need to limit it to the people

01:06:36.480 who are advocates

01:06:37.520 you know

01:06:38.380 they're out there as lawyers

01:06:40.300 or they're

01:06:41.520 they're advocating for the planet or something

01:06:43.480 that's

01:06:43.920 i don't mind persuasion in that context

01:06:45.980 because that's their job

01:06:47.220 it's only when the news

01:06:48.760 who's trying to be objective

01:06:50.720 allegedly

01:06:51.660 if they're involved in a massive brainwashing campaign

01:06:54.880 that's not cool

01:06:55.940 but an advocate

01:06:57.180 if your job is advocate

01:06:59.060 sure

01:07:00.000 advocate

01:07:01.020 all right

01:07:07.520 have i heard of malcolm nance

01:07:09.760 yes

01:07:10.300 i don't know why you're asking

01:07:12.160 malcolm nance is not one of those figures

01:07:15.520 whose

01:07:16.480 whose opinions you should imagine are ever true

01:07:19.820 i don't know if he's ever said anything that's true

01:07:22.280 but uh he's he's got some good conspiracy theories

01:07:25.980 all right that's all for now

01:07:27.140 i'll talk to you tomorrow

01:07:28.400 yo

01:07:31.600 you

01:07:32.380 you
