00:00:00.000 offline. The moment I started, YouTube just gave me an error message, but not the comments.
00:00:08.180 How about now? Let's see if we can stay online for a minute.
00:00:13.360 Was it my topic? What was it that was causing YouTube to spaz out?
00:00:19.120 I used to think, oh, it's my internet connection, but I have two platforms going,
00:00:23.940 and the locals platform has been fine. So whatever it is, it's common to only YouTube.
00:00:31.720 All right, so let's regather our thoughts now that we've had this technical problem.
00:00:42.980 I would like to tell you that this is not the first technical problem I've had this morning.
00:00:46.980 No. The first technical problem I had was my cat. So I got my cat back from the veterinarian
00:00:55.060 hospital. Five different medications on five different schedules, plus feeding her through
00:01:02.120 a tube. And all the schedules are different, and all the names of the drugs are things I
00:01:07.520 can't remember and can't pronounce. Now, if there could be a task I am less suited for
00:01:12.740 than keeping all of that straight, I don't know what it is. But the cat's home and she's
00:01:17.840 happy. And so we've been reunited, and it was very, very good. But before we get into
00:01:24.060 the news, the special news. Let me just tell you that the thing you need to make this a special
00:01:30.100 day, and I think you will. I think you will. Do you feel it yet? Do you feel a little bit
00:01:35.760 of a tingle that your day is starting to get better? Yeah, it is. You can feel it already.
00:01:41.820 And it's going to go to a new level as soon as you take your hand and put it on a cup
00:01:46.380 or a mug or a glass, a tank or a chalice or a stein, a canteen jug or a flask, a vessel
00:01:50.860 of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid I like, coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled
00:01:57.880 pleasure, the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better, the thing
00:02:02.500 that's making you feel better right now. It's called the simultaneous sip. And it's going
00:02:07.320 to happen right now. Join me. Go.
00:02:11.820 Oh, yeah. That's good. So just before I signed on, and I did not include it in my notes,
00:02:22.860 I saw that Matt Gaetz is trending. He just tweeted that Tucker Carlson is right when he talks about
00:02:33.320 the replacement theory. Now, the replacement theory, if you've never heard of it, is a racist-sounding
00:02:40.240 idea in which the belief is that the white dominant culture of this country, or at least
00:02:46.180 historically dominant culture, is intentionally being replaced by people from other countries
00:02:52.200 countries and other countries. And Matt Gaetz says, yes, that's completely accurate. And that's
00:02:59.900 happening. And that the ADL, who is pushing back against this idea from Tucker, the ADL itself
00:03:05.400 is racist. Now, I think this is one of those situations. Glenn, I've got a conspiracy theorist
00:03:17.940 here. I want you to see. All right, you can still see. There's not much. But you can see
00:03:25.700 it. There's real coffee. Oops. Now there's real coffee on my desk. It was in the cup. A little
00:03:33.620 of it is on my desk. But Glenn, you have to believe somebody. Somebody you have to trust.
00:03:41.800 In this big old world of ours, where we have nothing but conspiracy theories and fake news,
00:03:49.960 is there one thing you can trust? Just one thing? Yes, Glenn. You can trust that my coffee
00:03:58.080 cup has real coffee in it. Well, a little watered down, but basically coffee.
00:04:02.560 So anyway, talking about Matt Gaetz, here's the interesting part of that. Matt Gaetz has learned
00:04:11.840 his technique, I would say, at least observationally, it seems this way, from Trump. And man, does
00:04:22.080 he know how to make news. You know, the same way that Trump will say something where you'll
00:04:26.540 say to yourself, wait a minute, I'm not so sure you can say that out loud. Or you think
00:04:33.120 to yourself, well, I see what his point is, but it feels like people are going to interpret
00:04:38.420 this as a little racist. And that, of course, is what gives it all the energy. If there's
00:04:44.680 one thing, if there's one thing I can teach you about going viral, or about writing a best
00:04:52.740 selling book, or having any kind of entertainment property that people care about, here's a rule
00:04:59.260 to keep in mind. To get people's interest and hold it, whether it's a meme or a TV show or
00:05:05.860 anything else, you have to show that somebody's in trouble, in danger. Somebody needs to be
00:05:12.500 in danger in order for you to get attention. Now, the person who's in danger could be the
00:05:18.200 person who's talking. In this case, Matt Gaetz is putting himself in danger. Because he said
00:05:23.980 something that you know, is going to get all kinds of people accusing him of being a racist,
00:05:29.840 right? Now, of course, he knew that before he said it. So in order to get attention, he said
00:05:35.860 something that makes you say, Oh, is he going to get canceled? Is this his last day as a politician?
00:05:42.240 Is he done? I don't know. Probably not. I mean, probably not. But because you think that,
00:05:52.040 it just holds your attention. So this is what Trump does consistently. He'll say things that you say,
00:05:58.040 Oh, that's the world's going to blow up, isn't it? But then it doesn't. The world doesn't blow up.
00:06:04.740 So that's my only point about Matt Gaetz is that he's good at getting attention there.
00:06:09.240 So Boo the Cat is back and healthy, if I didn't mention that already. So in case you were rooting
00:06:16.920 for Boo the Cat, she's doing well. But it will be my full-time job to be her nursemaid.
00:06:23.380 Pretty much all day long for the next week. I'm just going to be giving her food and meds by her 1.00
00:06:29.400 little feeding tube. So there's this story by, let's see, Yahoo News is the story. They interviewed
00:06:38.700 30 former U.S. officials and they came up with the story that CIA officials under the Trump
00:06:44.240 administration allegedly made secret plans to kidnap or even assassinate WikiLeaks founder Julian
00:06:52.040 Assange. Do you think that's true? Let's give a, let's give a fact check. Do you think it's true
00:07:00.340 that the CIA officials under Trump made secret plans that they did not execute, but they made
00:07:09.020 secret plans to kidnap or assassinate WikiLeaks founder? What do you think? Now Trump says he
00:07:15.140 never considered it. So now what do you think? Trump says he never considered it, but the story
00:07:22.180 is that the CIA did drop plans. They, they both can be true, right? These are not opposites. I believe
00:07:33.580 it is 100% true that Trump never considered it in the sense of never was serious about considering it.
00:07:40.200 He may have heard it. Somebody may have floated it, but that's different than considering it exactly.
00:07:45.800 Considering it means there was some chance he might have done it. Um, I would tell you from my own,
00:07:52.500 my own sources that it is deeply, deeply unlikely Trump ever considered this. So that's, that's for my
00:08:00.560 own sources. Very unlikely that Trump ever considered assassinating Julian Assange. Um,
00:08:08.700 but did the CIA come up with a plan? At least, you know, draw it down on paper? Maybe. Is that a
00:08:17.920 problem? Is it a problem if the CIA came up with a plan to do this? I don't think so. Unfortunately,
00:08:25.400 it's not a problem because the military, and I would imagine the CIA is the same, should have a plan for
00:08:31.860 everything, for everything that might happen, right? Don't you think that they come up with plans for
00:08:39.240 all kinds of things they don't do just in case they need to do? I'm not sure that this story has
00:08:44.720 any contradiction in it or even a problem. Do you have a problem if the CIA is making plans for things
00:08:51.200 that it decides not to do? I don't have a problem for that. Why would that be a problem? They make plans
00:08:58.340 for everything. Now, obviously, if the CIA was trying to make it happen, and you don't want that
00:09:04.200 to happen, that's a problem. But the report is just that they made plans. I don't know if that alone
00:09:10.180 should bother me, because they should make a plan for everything, right? They don't know what the
00:09:16.660 president's going to order. They should have something, at least on paper, ready to talk about if he asks
00:09:21.340 about it. But the reporting seems to indicate that Mike Pompeo was the one who was mostly behind it,
00:09:31.460 at least the planning. Suppose that's true. Can you believe it? I wouldn't believe the reporting,
00:09:37.620 necessarily, just because I don't believe any reporting anymore. But suppose it's true that Mike
00:09:42.700 Pompeo was wanting to kill Assange. Doesn't that rule him out for president? If it's a problem, you can't
00:09:52.800 support him for president, can you? Yeah, I think that would take Pompeo right out of the running. But we'll
00:10:02.180 see, because first of all, I don't necessarily believe that he even had any involvement in any way. We don't
00:10:07.620 know. What is a bad combination? Let me tell you, this could be like a news segment. Bad
00:10:17.220 combinations. Things you don't want to put together, because if you put them together, bad things
00:10:22.180 happen. For example, John Bolton is talking about the Taliban maybe someday taking over Pakistan and 0.91
00:10:29.660 getting 150 nuclear weapons. Two things you don't want to put together. Taliban, 150 nuclear 0.94
00:10:37.400 weapons. So things you don't want to put together. Here's another one. You don't want to put
00:10:43.880 together TikTok and dumb people. Do not combine TikTok and dumb people. You're going to get a bad
00:10:53.920 result. For example, there was a FedEx driver who posted a TikTok video vowing never to deliver to
00:11:02.100 homes that support Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, or Black Lives Matter. His job did not last very long.
00:11:11.260 No. He was immediately fired. So two things you don't want to put together. The Taliban and nuclear 0.90
00:11:19.240 weapons. And TikTok and dumb people. Dumb people plus TikTok, bad combination. Do not put them
00:11:27.600 together. All right. Here's some fake news. Fake news. Where was this? Damn it. I forgot who was
00:11:38.920 reporting this fake news. So there's a report that Trump could face multiple criminal charges. I think
00:11:48.560 this was in the Daily Mail. He could face multiple criminal charges. Do you know who else could? Who
00:11:57.000 else could you say this story about? You. You. Me. Everybody else. Do you know who could maybe face
00:12:07.280 multiple criminal charges? A lot of people. They won't. But a lot of people could. Right? So that's a weird way to
00:12:17.180 say something. How about Donald Trump is not facing any criminal charges. How about that? That's true.
00:12:23.700 Right? There are no criminal charges against President Trump. Why not say that? There could be. Maybe
00:12:31.100 somebody will come up with something later. But haven't heard of it. But anyway, the thought is that he
00:12:38.740 could have some criminal liability for his attempts, quote, his attempts to overturn the 2020 election
00:12:44.720 loss in Georgia. And this report is still reporting that Trump told Brad Raffzenberger, the Secretary of State,
00:12:55.440 to find 11,780 votes, enough votes to make him president instead of Biden, or at least in the state,
00:13:05.040 to give him the win in the state. And that is a fake news reporting on a context. Because when you hear the
00:13:12.680 whole context, it's pretty clear that Trump was not asking him to do anything illegal, but rather
00:13:18.440 believed that the election was genuinely fraudulent, you know, true or not, he seems to have believed it,
00:13:25.380 and was asking him to help find fraudulent votes. So here it is, Trump asking somebody to identify
00:13:34.260 fraudulent votes, which is exactly what you'd want everybody to do, right? Is there anybody who
00:13:40.240 doesn't want to identify the fraudulent votes? Why wouldn't Trump ask for that? And why wouldn't
00:13:48.960 Raffzenberger want to do it? I mean, if he could do it easily. I mean, there's a practical element to
00:13:54.920 it. But everybody would want to know if there were any fraudulent votes. And Trump just gave them
00:14:02.360 numbers, like if we found this many, you would reverse things. So I'd like you to find that many.
00:14:06.420 That's really different from, you know, somehow pressuring him to lie. That's not in there.
00:14:14.620 So this is just total fake news. Where does this come from? Oh, the DC think tank, the Brookings
00:14:21.180 Institute. Right. The Brookings Institute is who it is who says he might be facing multiple charges.
00:14:27.720 Who the hell is a Brookings Institute? Unless it's like a bunch of lawyers or somehow independent.
00:14:37.660 I doubt that they're an unbiased institute, obviously. Let's talk about the plot to control you.
00:14:46.500 I saw a tweet by Unhoodwinked, one of my followers on Twitter, Unhoodwinked. And he tweeted today,
00:14:56.400 can we finally admit that the policies both now and in the past, like lockdowns and masks
00:15:02.740 on children, are not to protect people, but instead are new precedents to train obedience
00:15:09.440 and servitude to power-hungry state actors. How many of you watching agree with this take,
00:15:17.060 that the lockdowns and the masks are part of a larger process by which power-hungry state actors
00:15:26.120 are training the public to obedience? All right. I'm seeing on locals, lots of yeses,
00:15:32.620 lots of noes, but lots of yeses. And then on YouTube, lots of yeses, some noes, right? More yeses
00:15:41.360 than noes, 100%, 100%. So would you like me to talk about that? Because this is my sweet spot,
00:15:50.400 right? Don't you think that of all the people you could listen to on the topic of whether you're
00:15:57.780 being brainwashed? Who would be a good source for sorting that out for you? I would, right?
00:16:04.800 It's sort of my specialty. Trained hypnotists talk about persuasion all the time. So let's talk about
00:16:11.720 this. Do you believe that you are being manipulated and trained for obedience?
00:16:19.740 So those of you who believe it, give me a little bit more. I'm going to ask you for a little bit more.
00:16:26.760 Who is it who's doing it? Who specifically? Let's say in the United States. Now it's happening all over
00:16:32.900 the world, right? So whatever's happening in the United States must be reproducing itself all over the
00:16:39.120 place. So let's just talk about the United States. Who exactly in the United States, just the United States
00:16:47.740 now for a moment. We'll talk about the other countries. But who in the United States is doing
00:16:51.900 it? And for what personal benefit? To what benefit? BlackRock, AI, intelligence community, the DNC,
00:17:05.060 Satan, big pharma bankers, corporations, globalists, Fauci, cartels, CCP, China, unions,
00:17:16.220 the AMA. A lot of different answers. So here's the first point. When I first asked the question,
00:17:28.980 are there deep state power people who just want to train you? A lot of people said yes. But when I
00:17:36.480 ask you who they are, your answers were all over the place. Right? So far, I'm just objectively speaking.
00:17:45.260 There's no opinion. There's no opinion yet. Your answers were all over the place about who these
00:17:49.340 people are. And since the who is different for all of you, wouldn't this also mean that they had
00:17:57.180 different motivations? Right? Now, do you think that there are people who want to train you and get
00:18:03.640 power just because they like the power? How many of you think that's a thing? That they want power just
00:18:12.160 for the power. It's not a specific thing that they're trying to train you for. It's just the
00:18:16.000 power. Just sort of generally the power. Right? Okay. So, and you know that there are millions and
00:18:24.640 millions of people who independently agree with the people in power, right? Would you agree that
00:18:30.700 there are lots of doctors and researchers and just independent people who have nothing to do with
00:18:35.320 these power people at the top who agree with them that we should wear masks or we should do
00:18:41.020 lockdowns, et cetera? So whatever it is that the elites are trying to push, would you agree with the
00:18:47.660 following statement that there are plenty of experts who also think it's a good idea just for medical
00:18:53.840 reasons? Would you agree that there are plenty of real experts who also think it's a good, whether
00:19:00.120 they're right or wrong, but they also think it's a good idea to do all the things that these power
00:19:05.640 elites want us to do? So, yeah, I think you agree with that. So what, how do you make sense of
00:19:14.460 something where there's a legitimate medical interest in doing it? Now, keep in mind that it might be
00:19:20.820 right or it might be wrong, right? The experts could be right. The experts could be wrong. Could go
00:19:25.320 either way. But it's true that they do have that opinion, right? Whether they're right or wrong,
00:19:30.820 they are of the opinion that these are good things. Wouldn't you agree? There are plenty of
00:19:39.380 independent people. So even if the elites are doing it for sneaky reasons to take power, it's also true
00:19:46.800 that it's medically recommended by every major medical group in every country, basically, except Sweden,
00:19:54.100 I guess. All right. So the first thing you want to question yourself if you think it's part of a big
00:20:01.700 power move by the elite is who are they? And why is it that their power move is exactly what
00:20:07.460 independent professionals would say they should do? Because wouldn't that be a weird coincidence
00:20:13.440 that the actual best thing you could do for your health, according to the experts, again,
00:20:20.180 they could be right or they could be wrong, but the experts do say masks and social distancing are
00:20:25.560 something you should do. What are the odds that coincidentally it's medically recommended,
00:20:33.220 but also coincidentally it's really good for the secret plot to train you to be more obedient?
00:20:41.300 I don't know. I would say that I should put a little question mark into your thinking, wouldn't you?
00:20:46.180 Does anybody respond to that point? Shouldn't that at least make you question the hypothesis that it's only
00:20:56.160 being done for power reasons? There's just so many individuals who also agree with it, who are experts.
00:21:02.620 I'm not an expert, so I'm not saying who's right or wrong. I'm just saying that they exist.
00:21:08.060 Okay. So that's the first thing. Number two, why would anybody want to give power to other people?
00:21:13.740 Do you know anybody who wants to give power to other people over themselves? Do any of you wish to
00:21:24.160 increase the amount of power other people have over you? Anybody? In the comments. Let's just talk
00:21:30.260 about yourself. Let's not read other people's mind. For yourself, do you personally, would you like to
00:21:37.100 give more power to other people over your life? Who would like to do more of that? Right? Nobody. Pretty
00:21:46.320 much nobody. But here's my problem with this idea that there's this secret elite power hungry state
00:21:52.420 actors. They're also giving power to other people. Because let's say Pelosi, she has to wear a mask 1.00
00:22:04.520 too. Right? She's also giving power to somebody. What about Biden himself?
00:22:14.280 Biden's giving power to somebody too. He's got to wear a mask and he's got to do a bunch of stuff.
00:22:18.940 He's probably not too happy about it. Don't you think Biden would like the pandemic to go away?
00:22:23.820 Let me ask you this. Would Biden be politically better off or worse off if the pandemic stays or if he
00:22:32.280 solves it? What could be better for the Biden administration than solving the pandemic and
00:22:38.020 getting your mask off? How would... Well, let me ask you this. Somebody says you're full of BS.
00:22:43.580 Let me ask you this. If Biden and Harris wanted to maintain power, let's say the Democrats want to
00:22:52.600 maintain power, and they have two possibilities. One possibility is to train the public to be more
00:22:59.060 obedient with the masks and the mandates. And the other is to solve the pandemic and get things
00:23:05.800 working again. Which of those two plans is more practical and would give you more power?
00:23:13.580 I'm looking at your answers. Which would give you more power, solving the pandemic or extending it and
00:23:22.220 making everybody unhappy about it? But at least you'd be training them, training them to be more
00:23:26.380 obedient. I'm seeing a lot of people say extending it. Explain that. Why would extending it and losing
00:23:38.600 the next election be good for them? You realize that they'll lose the election, right?
00:23:44.940 You know, the worse the lockdowns and the masking are, the worse all that is when you've got to vote,
00:23:51.740 the more you're going to hold it against whoever's in power.
00:23:57.820 I'm saying mail-in voting. We'll talk about that in a minute.
00:24:00.220 Why is mail-in voting? Why are you saying mail-in voting? Oh, I see. You say mail-in voting because
00:24:07.180 the pandemic would cause the mail-in voting and then you could cheat on the mail-in voting
00:24:12.140 and then you could win elections. Okay. Okay.
00:24:19.880 But it seems to me that the mail-in voting
00:24:22.500 looks like it's been solved in a few states. All right. I'm just reading your comments.
00:24:32.460 Oh, shit.
00:24:38.640 All right. Another emergency just popped up.
00:24:43.140 Today, are you having one of those days where everything that's happening to me is some kind
00:24:47.460 of an emergency and everything has to happen at once? Like, there's nothing that can wait.
00:24:52.320 You ever have one of those days? Nothing can wait.
00:24:55.080 Everything has to happen right now. And it's an emergency if it doesn't.
00:24:58.740 That's what my day is like so far.
00:25:06.940 All right.
00:25:08.740 So, here's my next question.
00:25:11.020 If you think that it's all about the mail-in ballots, do you think that the pandemic is going
00:25:21.260 to change that? Because I feel as though whether we had a pandemic or not, the mail-in ballot
00:25:28.140 situation would stay the same at this point. Don't you think? Because it seems that people just
00:25:35.080 like mail-in ballots and you get more of them and blah, blah, blah. I don't think they need a
00:25:40.000 pandemic for mail-in ballots, do you? I mean, it did kickstart things. And they certainly took
00:25:46.340 advantage of it. So I would agree with you that they took advantage of it to beat Trump. There's
00:25:52.380 no... I think that's fair to say. Do we all agree on that? That the way the rules of elections were
00:25:59.280 gamed by the Democrats was quite masterful. And they got away with it because it was, you know,
00:26:04.680 they did it through legal means. And they got a set of rules that worked for them.
00:26:10.000 Yeah. So the pandemic definitely did change the power structure. But I think at this point,
00:26:15.980 at this point, I think people either like mail-in ballots or not, independent of the pandemic.
00:26:21.880 Give me a fact check on that. Would you agree that people's opinions of mail-in ballots
00:26:26.600 are now divorced from the pandemic? It's sort of a separate category, I think, by itself.
00:26:32.840 Because there are plenty of reasons to have mail-in ballots, or plenty of reasons to dislike them,
00:26:37.280 right? You could go either way. But it has nothing to do with the pandemic at this point. It did.
00:26:43.260 But at this point, I think we're past that. I think just it's a question about ballots themselves.
00:26:49.640 All right. Yeah, there's a lot to be... needs to be fixed in the election. There's no doubt about that.
00:26:56.060 Somebody says they lost the video, but I don't think that's true.
00:26:58.520 Here's what I would say. I don't believe there's anybody who wants to give power,
00:27:05.360 at least in terms of the masks and the lockdowns. That part, if it's all about the mail-in ballots,
00:27:12.060 then I acknowledge that point. Could be. Certainly, there are people who would prefer
00:27:18.960 a good reason for mail-in ballots if they're Democrats. That makes sense.
00:27:22.740 So I'll agree with you that far, that it's opportunistic.
00:27:31.660 All right. Let's talk about the Arizona audit.
00:27:34.180 I tried to find a good, reliable news source to help me understand
00:27:39.160 whether the Arizona audit found nothing or something.
00:27:45.780 Because, you know, as I predicted, it broke into these two movies.
00:27:48.880 And so I was trying to figure out what did the audit find
00:27:56.800 in terms of what did they verify is true,
00:27:59.520 and what things could they not find because they couldn't check them.
00:28:04.360 And so here's the best summary that I got.
00:28:07.720 All right. Now, keep in mind my number one rule
00:28:11.460 of knowing what is fake news and what is not
00:28:13.840 is it's real news if it's reported the same on both networks.
00:28:18.880 Meaning Fox and CNN.
00:28:22.480 So that's my standard.
00:28:23.520 Now, I'm not going to say it works every time.
00:28:25.940 But it's a pretty good starting point for identifying fake news,
00:28:29.360 which is that if the two networks are reporting it differently,
00:28:33.240 there's something going on.
00:28:35.520 Right? One of them is giving you fake news at least, maybe both.
00:28:39.220 If they both reported the same, it's probably true. 0.72
00:28:44.740 Probably true.
00:28:45.480 If they reported the same.
00:28:47.620 Did Fox News and CNN report the Arizona results about the same?
00:28:53.480 I think they did.
00:28:55.360 I think they did.
00:28:56.540 And neither of them seem to say that any fraud was found
00:28:59.800 with any certainty.
00:29:02.420 Right?
00:29:02.840 But let's talk about what they did find and what they did not find.
00:29:06.760 So when they counted the ballots,
00:29:08.160 they didn't find a big problem with the actual ballots.
00:29:11.760 So, here's where you check your belief system.
00:29:16.200 Was there any point at which you personally,
00:29:18.660 you, I'm looking at you,
00:29:20.480 believed that there were ballots that were made
00:29:24.020 with strange Chinese paper, bamboo paper?
00:29:27.880 How many of you believe that some of those ballots
00:29:30.160 would be made of bamboo?
00:29:33.120 Because there weren't.
00:29:34.560 There weren't any bamboo ballots.
00:29:36.580 If you ever believed that there were bamboo paper ballots,
00:29:41.480 then just do a little check on yourself.
00:29:44.280 Oh, I got that one wrong.
00:29:45.680 Now, let me be clear.
00:29:50.540 I get stuff wrong.
00:29:52.820 You get stuff wrong.
00:29:54.020 We all get stuff wrong.
00:29:55.080 Doesn't mean you're bad people.
00:29:56.840 Right?
00:29:57.380 In fact, I would argue that the attitude you should take
00:30:00.620 when you find out you're wrong about something like that
00:30:03.160 is elation.
00:30:05.380 Why should you be happy to find out you were so wrong?
00:30:09.480 Because you're smarter now.
00:30:11.340 It made you smarter.
00:30:12.500 If you find out that you were wrong
00:30:14.100 about something fundamental that you believed,
00:30:17.120 the moment you found out you're wrong,
00:30:19.240 you got smarter.
00:30:20.900 Right?
00:30:21.620 You went from wrong to right.
00:30:23.820 Shouldn't that make you happy?
00:30:24.840 Why would you not be happy
00:30:28.060 to just become obviously smarter?
00:30:31.020 Well, you know, your ego says,
00:30:33.920 oh, I don't want to ever know
00:30:35.200 that I was wrong in the past.
00:30:36.680 But I think you should maybe look at this
00:30:38.900 a little more optimistically.
00:30:40.440 If somebody proves you wrong,
00:30:42.900 you just got smarter.
00:30:44.900 Permanently.
00:30:46.080 You'll always be smarter
00:30:47.300 about whatever that thing was.
00:30:49.300 And maybe even learn something.
00:30:51.320 So if you ever thought that there were
00:30:52.780 bamboo paper ballots,
00:30:55.040 just put a little check on that box
00:30:58.140 for your personal record
00:30:59.800 so you know that sometimes
00:31:01.720 you can be wrong about stuff like that.
00:31:03.980 It will keep you honest.
00:31:07.200 Apparently, there weren't any fake ballots.
00:31:08.920 There weren't any sharpies.
00:31:10.240 There weren't any strange things
00:31:11.480 about the counting.
00:31:12.240 So all of the things that you thought
00:31:13.540 about the physical ballots
00:31:14.900 seems to have been ruled out
00:31:17.700 by the people on your team
00:31:18.880 if you were on the same team
00:31:21.100 as the cyber ninjas who did the audit.
00:31:23.140 So I would say most of the ordinary ways
00:31:26.360 that we imagined people
00:31:28.000 could have been faking stuff
00:31:29.260 was ruled out.
00:31:30.800 How many of you agree
00:31:32.240 with just that very minor claim
00:31:34.120 that the physical ballots,
00:31:38.180 the ninja auditors,
00:31:40.420 they ruled that out
00:31:41.800 as a source of the fraud?
00:31:43.060 Do you agree?
00:31:44.240 That just that narrow little area
00:31:46.740 they did rule out as fraud.
00:31:49.060 And that they ruled
00:31:50.000 that they were counted correctly, roughly.
00:31:51.680 Not enough to change the...
00:31:54.240 Okay.
00:31:55.040 So how many of you thought
00:31:57.160 that within that ballot counting domain
00:32:01.060 there would definitely be a big problem?
00:32:03.780 There wasn't.
00:32:05.540 How many of you predicted there would be?
00:32:07.680 I didn't.
00:32:09.200 I mean, I didn't have a prediction
00:32:10.520 one way or the other,
00:32:11.400 but I didn't assume that it was wrong.
00:32:15.400 All right.
00:32:16.140 So then what things are not counted?
00:32:18.460 And why is it that on the war room
00:32:20.360 with Steve Bannon
00:32:21.780 and why is it that they're saying
00:32:23.900 there are 57,000 illegal ballots
00:32:26.120 or at least 57,000 ballots
00:32:30.580 that could be a problem?
00:32:32.700 And remember,
00:32:33.180 Trump only lost by over 10,000 votes.
00:32:36.820 So if there are 57 questionable votes
00:32:39.140 and the margin was only, you know,
00:32:41.240 less than 11,000,
00:32:43.040 big problem, right?
00:32:43.880 So what about these 57,000 votes?
00:32:48.560 What do we know about them?
00:32:49.840 Well, let's look at them.
00:32:51.440 So they seem to fall into a certain category.
00:32:56.000 Do you know what the larger category is?
00:32:58.520 I'll read the subcategories
00:32:59.960 to tell you where these problems were
00:33:03.260 and then see if you can find,
00:33:05.820 use your pattern recognition
00:33:06.920 to find where the large problem is.
00:33:10.380 All right.
00:33:10.600 Mail-in ballots voted from prior addresses,
00:33:14.080 23,000.
00:33:15.760 Votes from seemingly the wrong address.
00:33:19.240 Votes in multiple counties.
00:33:23.360 More ballots returned than issued.
00:33:27.140 More ballots returned than issued.
00:33:29.780 More duplicates than original ballots.
00:33:33.520 More duplicates than original ballots.
00:33:35.580 In-person voters who moved down to the county.
00:33:41.300 2.3,000 of them.
00:33:43.020 All right.
00:33:43.180 So the various numbers on these
00:33:44.440 were 10,000 voted in multiple counties.
00:33:47.280 9,000 more ballots returned than issued.
00:33:49.840 Blah, blah, blah.
00:33:50.600 Okay.
00:33:51.540 What do all of these things have in common?
00:33:55.180 They're based on comparing what you know
00:33:58.380 to another database.
00:34:01.420 Right?
00:34:02.580 So all of these have the same thing in common.
00:34:05.580 You're comparing what you found in the audit
00:34:07.360 to some other database
00:34:09.840 and finding that they don't match.
00:34:12.040 True?
00:34:12.400 True or false?
00:34:13.740 That they're all in the same category
00:34:15.520 of audit found one number,
00:34:18.580 they compare it to a database,
00:34:20.660 and it doesn't match.
00:34:23.440 Here's the problem.
00:34:25.260 The databases that they're comparing it to
00:34:27.340 are not believed to be necessarily accurate.
00:34:31.480 So they're not comparing it to anything
00:34:35.040 that's a standard for truth.
00:34:37.960 They all have that same problem.
00:34:40.180 That we don't know if the data
00:34:41.400 you're comparing it to is accurate.
00:34:42.980 There's no way to know.
00:34:44.220 Because there's no way to compare that data.
00:34:46.500 That data isn't compared to anything.
00:34:48.740 So if you're comparing it to something
00:34:51.000 that you don't know is right in the first place,
00:34:53.300 the databases that are probably questionable
00:34:55.720 to begin with,
00:34:56.480 then you've got a problem.
00:34:58.820 Now,
00:34:59.940 I guess the experts now are saying
00:35:04.940 that fraud is suggested in numerous instances.
00:35:08.920 Fraud is suggested in numerous instances,
00:35:11.920 meaning that the opportunity for fraud exists.
00:35:14.980 So did we have an audit?
00:35:19.340 Did an audit happen?
00:35:22.420 No.
00:35:23.380 No, there was no audit.
00:35:25.620 There was somebody who got paid to do something
00:35:27.760 that has the word audit in it,
00:35:29.680 and they did look at some subset of things
00:35:32.260 that could have gone wrong,
00:35:34.000 and they did find that that subset of things
00:35:36.280 they looked at didn't seem to be the problem.
00:35:40.060 But it sure wasn't an audit.
00:35:42.540 An audit would find problems.
00:35:44.200 I mean, it would find all the places
00:35:45.960 that there could be a problem.
00:35:47.480 But a partial audit is worse than no audit.
00:35:53.180 What could be worse than a partial audit?
00:35:56.840 If the things that you checked
00:35:58.240 are the places that the fraud doesn't exist.
00:36:00.820 The worst thing you could do
00:36:01.880 is do an audit of the place where the fraud isn't.
00:36:05.440 Because then you'll convince yourself there's no fraud,
00:36:08.240 but you haven't even really checked.
00:36:10.540 So that's what we got.
00:36:11.620 The worst case scenario.
00:36:14.200 An audit that could only check the things
00:36:16.440 that probably were not the problem in the first place.
00:36:21.040 So here's what I would do.
00:36:23.480 I would probably support for president
00:36:25.220 any candidate who said they were going to fix this.
00:36:27.720 Make the election auditable.
00:36:31.480 That's it.
00:36:33.180 Do I care about this hypothetical candidate's fiscal policy?
00:36:38.280 Nope.
00:36:40.740 Nope.
00:36:41.560 Do I care about this candidate's international policy?
00:36:46.340 Nope.
00:36:48.060 If you want to turn me into a single-issue voter,
00:36:50.900 this is how.
00:36:52.000 Just fix the election systems
00:36:53.560 so that we can audit them,
00:36:56.180 and at the very least,
00:36:57.140 you can check your vote
00:36:58.020 to make sure you made it all the way through.
00:37:00.700 There must be some way to do it.
00:37:02.000 I realize there's an issue with anonymity,
00:37:04.900 but there's got to be a way to do it, right?
00:37:06.340 It can't be impossible.
00:37:08.280 So, yeah, this system isn't going to fix itself, right?
00:37:13.580 So I would vote...
00:37:15.380 I could give a full-throated support to Trump
00:37:18.280 if he said,
00:37:19.500 look, I've got questions about the election.
00:37:22.140 I think it was fraudulent.
00:37:25.800 We can't find out
00:37:27.120 because we don't have a way to check elections.
00:37:30.540 What I'll do
00:37:31.440 is I'll make sure that the states are forced
00:37:34.220 to create systems that can be audited instantly.
00:37:37.900 I think the federal government could do that, right?
00:37:40.120 Set up a standard that says,
00:37:41.600 states, you can do whatever you want
00:37:43.440 in terms of a lot of the details,
00:37:45.740 but what you can't avoid
00:37:48.500 is it has to be auditable.
00:37:49.560 It has to be auditable all the way through
00:37:53.000 or else you can't have that system.
00:37:54.900 I feel like the federal government
00:37:56.640 could make the states do that, right?
00:37:58.580 It might be a constitutional issue.
00:38:00.600 Somebody could weigh in on that.
00:38:02.700 We already have the FEC.
00:38:04.780 Well, apparently the FEC
00:38:06.320 is not making elections auditable.
00:38:09.140 I'm not saying make them fair.
00:38:11.960 I'm saying make them auditable.
00:38:14.120 That's very different
00:38:15.100 because if you make them auditable,
00:38:17.200 they'll end up being fair.
00:38:19.560 All right.
00:38:22.040 So now do the 49 other states.
00:38:24.180 Right.
00:38:24.820 So we don't know what any other state looks like,
00:38:27.300 but we do know what one looks like,
00:38:30.740 and we certainly should audit
00:38:32.900 as much as we can audit.
00:38:35.000 All right.
00:38:35.300 Canadians apparently are a little too trusting.
00:38:46.480 You've heard that Canadians are nice.
00:38:48.740 Are there any Canadians watching right now?
00:38:51.220 I think you can confirm for me.
00:38:55.120 Canadians.
00:38:56.340 Very nice.
00:38:57.440 Very nice people.
00:38:59.080 All right.
00:38:59.200 But I'm wondering if what comes along with that
00:39:04.760 is a little bit too much of trust
00:39:06.620 because they kind of travel together, right?
00:39:09.460 Being nice and being trusting,
00:39:11.120 they kind of travel together.
00:39:12.940 But 80% of Canadians consider
00:39:14.860 online information reliable.
00:39:16.520 What?
00:39:23.260 What?
00:39:25.300 What?
00:39:26.480 80% of Canadians consider online information reliable.
00:39:29.960 Do you know where I got this statistic?
00:39:34.300 Online.
00:39:35.620 This is probably not even true.
00:39:38.060 But if it is true, it'd be funny.
00:39:41.200 And 66% of Canadians are confident
00:39:43.660 they can tell when it's not.
00:39:45.660 So two-thirds of Canadians think
00:39:47.360 they can look at the online news
00:39:49.100 and know when it's true and when it's not.
00:39:52.760 Oh, Canada.
00:39:56.540 Oh, Canada.
00:39:58.600 Oh, oh, Canada.
00:40:00.680 That's all I'm going to say about that.
00:40:02.260 And apparently the minister of something up there
00:40:07.380 has proposed concrete action
00:40:08.780 to police the news and information on the Internet.
00:40:11.360 Good luck with that.
00:40:12.840 Good luck with that.
00:40:15.820 Well, Rasmussen has polls, says,
00:40:19.020 is asking if the radical left
00:40:21.200 is using the pandemic as a Trojan horse
00:40:23.360 for permanent socialism
00:40:25.920 and Biden is either powerless to stop them
00:40:28.160 or doesn't want to.
00:40:29.620 How many people agree with that?
00:40:32.260 That the radical left is using the pandemic
00:40:34.560 as a Trojan horse
00:40:35.740 to permanently give us socialism
00:40:38.860 and Biden can't stop it or relax it.
00:40:42.680 59% agree strongly or somewhat.
00:40:47.700 59% of the frickin' country,
00:40:51.560 or at least the people who answered this poll,
00:40:54.160 think that the left,
00:40:56.820 the radical left is using it as a Trojan horse
00:40:59.420 for permanent socialism.
00:41:03.100 Well, how's your infrastructure bill looking now?
00:41:07.380 Remember I told you?
00:41:08.720 When did I tell you that the infrastructure bill
00:41:10.560 would never get passed?
00:41:13.460 One of my best predictions so far.
00:41:16.980 Now, and how many times have we seen the news?
00:41:19.780 Ah, we're there now.
00:41:21.660 Big, big progress.
00:41:23.720 Big progress in the infrastructure bill.
00:41:26.120 Because, you know, somebody agreed
00:41:27.460 or somebody negotiated this.
00:41:29.880 And I just look at this thing and go,
00:41:31.300 no, no, maybe never.
00:41:34.760 Maybe never.
00:41:35.520 I mean, you know,
00:41:36.420 maybe they could knock it down to a trillion
00:41:38.100 and get it through or something.
00:41:39.460 But I don't think the 3.5
00:41:41.180 has any chance, does it?
00:41:48.600 All right.
00:41:56.540 Anyway.
00:41:58.500 That is what I wanted to talk about today.
00:42:02.160 Have I missed anything?
00:42:03.980 Was there a,
00:42:05.120 oh, there's an earthquake in Greece?
00:42:07.100 Well, I'm glad I'm not there.
00:42:09.100 Because I was.
00:42:09.980 Yeah, and you've got your Joe Manchins
00:42:12.500 and your Kristen Sinema's and stuff.
00:42:19.180 All right.
00:42:21.760 So, I attempted to not curse
00:42:24.420 and to not talk about the,
00:42:27.780 you know, the,
00:42:29.340 too much about coronavirus,
00:42:31.120 except whether you thought
00:42:32.020 it was a conspiracy theory.
00:42:33.320 Did I use the S word?
00:42:40.640 I don't think I did.
00:42:41.520 Did I?
00:42:45.720 Oh, did I say,
00:42:47.240 did I swear?
00:42:49.520 Did I use the S word?
00:42:50.800 I'm seeing in the comments that I did.
00:42:53.720 I guess I didn't even know that.
00:42:55.480 Oh, when my phone message came on.
00:42:57.140 That doesn't count.
00:43:01.860 Does that count?
00:43:03.720 Okay.
00:43:04.460 Well, apparently it's a work in progress.
00:43:06.760 Apparently I can't,
00:43:08.580 apparently I'm not good at not swearing.
00:43:16.660 What are my thoughts on sympathy
00:43:18.280 between political parties?
00:43:19.740 I don't know what you mean exactly.
00:43:22.860 Yeah, China's in big trouble.
00:43:24.560 That is correct.
00:43:26.080 What did I tell you a few months ago?
00:43:28.080 Or maybe it was less.
00:43:29.440 China's in big trouble.
00:43:31.300 So, their real estate industry
00:43:33.940 is collapsing.
00:43:34.860 They're running out of energy.
00:43:36.940 And
00:43:37.300 I think they got big trouble coming.
00:43:41.480 Musk is expanding business in China.
00:43:46.260 Yeah.
00:43:47.740 You know, I don't know if he has an option.
00:43:49.960 Probably not.
00:43:52.460 Will the regime collapse?
00:43:54.040 I don't know.
00:43:54.480 The regime's pretty strong.
00:43:56.580 I don't know if the regime will collapse.
00:43:59.860 But they got big, big problems coming.
00:44:03.800 Thank you for tanking the real estate market in China.
00:44:06.660 You're welcome.
00:44:08.560 Watch what else I do.
00:44:09.660 Oh, I'm just getting started.
00:44:13.380 China's in big trouble.
00:44:19.360 Any updates on India?
00:44:22.040 No, I'm not sure I believe anything out of India.
00:44:26.880 All right.
00:44:28.160 And that is all I got for now.
00:44:30.060 And
00:44:30.460 what happens to your consciousness when you die?
00:44:32.640 Well, mine's going to go into computer, digital form.
00:44:35.900 But that's just me.
00:44:36.880 Biden freed the Huawei lady? 0.94
00:44:41.000 Really?
00:44:42.060 Did that happen?
00:44:43.380 I didn't say that story.
00:44:45.540 All right.
00:44:46.160 That's all for now.
00:44:46.900 And I will talk to you tomorrow.
