00:00:00.000 Welcome to the Highlight of Civilization.
00:00:05.060 I think if I had a mug, I should say that.
00:00:08.040 The Highlight of Civilization.
00:00:10.520 And today we're going to be talking about January 6th stuff and all kinds of stuff.
00:00:15.580 And before we get going, how would you like to take it up a level with a simultaneous sip?
00:00:22.180 Yes, you would.
00:00:23.360 All you need is a cup or a mug or a glass of tank or a chalice or a canteen jug or a flask or a vessel of any kind.
00:00:27.620 Fill it with your favorite liquid.
00:00:31.680 I like coffee.
00:00:33.840 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure.
00:00:37.140 It's the dopamine of the day.
00:00:39.280 The thing that makes everything better.
00:00:41.240 It's called the simultaneous sip.
00:00:44.420 Go.
00:00:48.860 You're glad I wasn't frozen in carbonite.
00:00:52.220 Good.
00:00:52.900 I wish I had a nickel for every time somebody said, I'm glad to hear that you've not been frozen in carbonite.
00:01:00.820 Because I'd have five cents by now.
00:01:05.360 So let's talk about the situation.
00:01:11.120 So on Thursday, there's going to be this live telecast from Congress of the January 6th hearings.
00:01:16.840 And I was too sleepy this morning to correctly do my, what would have been one of the greatest tweets of all time.
00:01:28.340 But instead will be a tweet that I'm going to delete right now.
00:01:32.480 Because I can't have that thing up for another minute.
00:01:36.780 So I'll tell you what I was supposed to say that it didn't say at all.
00:01:41.420 Well, here we go.
00:01:50.860 I know it was.
00:01:52.740 Oh, yeah.
00:01:53.840 I said, should Fox News do live coverage of the long COVID telethon Congress is holding on Thursday?
00:01:59.980 That would have been really clever if I had tweeted it after I had some coffee.
00:02:07.340 And when I realized that the pun is really long TDS and not long COVID.
00:02:13.740 If you take out the TDS part, it doesn't make any sense at all.
00:02:19.640 It doesn't make any sense.
00:02:21.580 And so I was a little too tired when I tweeted that.
00:02:25.140 Let's get rid of that one.
00:02:27.260 Bye.
00:02:27.660 God, that could have been such a good tweet, too.
00:02:32.520 Oh, well.
00:02:34.160 Dopamine.
00:02:35.260 We'll have to wait.
00:02:36.720 I'll have to come up with a better tweet.
00:02:38.720 But the idea was that this is going to look like a long TDS telethon.
00:02:45.300 The January 6th thing already seems like it's the last pandemic.
00:02:50.780 You know what I mean?
00:02:51.460 It's like we're past the pandemic or whatever the protests were on January 6th.
00:02:57.800 But now we're just into the long aftermath of it, the long haul TDS.
00:03:04.040 And it's going to feel like that when you watch it.
00:03:06.860 It's going to feel like you went back in the past or something.
00:03:09.240 Because to me, it already feels like a long time ago.
00:03:14.900 Do you feel that?
00:03:16.540 Do you feel that the January 6th event, the original event, it just feels like it's ancient history already.
00:03:23.060 Like it was a long time ago.
00:03:25.020 But they will make it new and fresh by putting it on TV.
00:03:28.280 We'll talk about that a little bit more.
00:03:31.420 First, the scariest news of the day.
00:03:33.720 According to Rasmussen, 55% of American adults, this is not just voters, but adults in America,
00:03:42.960 believe it is likely the United States will enter a 1930s-like depression over the next few years.
00:03:51.560 What?
00:03:52.680 55% of the country expects a depression?
00:03:58.280 Um, I don't know if they're wrong.
00:04:02.640 Do you?
00:04:05.020 How many of you expect a depression?
00:04:07.400 Now, we're not talking about a recession.
00:04:09.820 And I suspect that people confuse the two.
00:04:13.800 Don't you?
00:04:14.900 I feel like this number is big because people don't know the difference between a recession and a depression.
00:04:21.280 A recession would be a normal rebalancing.
00:04:25.240 You know, you get a bubble, it pulls back.
00:04:28.960 You get a bubble, it pulls back.
00:04:31.200 So recessions are sort of, you know, a built-in maintenance part of the system and not really something I would worry too much about.
00:04:41.020 But a depression can just take you off the map.
00:04:43.840 I mean, you know, even the Great Depression was, what was the unemployment rate during the Great Depression in the 30s?
00:04:52.900 The unemployment rate was in the 20s?
00:04:58.480 Mid-20s, right?
00:04:59.900 25%?
00:05:00.700 Yeah, I'm not so good with my history, but I think mid-20s.
00:05:09.120 And if you think about it, that's still 75% of the people had jobs.
00:05:13.900 And that's the worst it was.
00:05:16.340 So the worst our economy ever was, 25% of the people were unemployed.
00:05:20.680 Now, I wonder how that compares to right now.
00:05:27.780 Because don't you think there are a lot of people who could work who would just decide not to, but in the old days they all had to?
00:05:33.900 I feel like we've got way more than 25% of able-bodied people who are not working.
00:05:38.980 It's just they don't want to or don't need to or something.
00:05:41.780 So I wonder if those are even comparable numbers.
00:05:47.700 In other words, the Great Depression had 25% of the, let's say, the least employable people, one assumes.
00:05:55.220 At least during that situation, they were the least employable.
00:06:00.320 And you saw during the pandemic that we took our least employable people and just sent them money and kept them home.
00:06:08.400 And it didn't affect the economy that much except for inflation.
00:06:13.440 So I don't think that comparing things works exactly, at least to the 30s.
00:06:20.080 And I don't think that the public knows the difference between a recession and a depression.
00:06:23.980 So I'm not sure I'd believe this number.
00:06:26.380 But what I worry about is that it's a self-fulfilling prophecy.
00:06:31.000 But that hasn't seemed to happen yet.
00:06:34.900 We're on the verge of it happening.
00:06:36.380 But it's a self-fulfilling prophecy when companies start pulling back in anticipation of problems in the future.
00:06:45.400 And then they're pulling back today is what actually causes the problem in the future.
00:06:49.840 But it doesn't look like most companies are pulling back too much, does it?
00:06:54.740 I mean, Tesla famously and a couple others.
00:06:57.700 But not really widespread yet.
00:07:01.040 So it's still a wait and see on the economy.
00:07:03.980 So talking about January 6th, and we'll be talking about election fraud, real and alleged.
00:07:15.100 And here's the arguments that you're going to see in the next week, because this January 6th thing is happening.
00:07:20.000 You're going to hear people saying that the protesters who went to the Capitol were obviously trying to overthrow the country because there was no election fraud.
00:07:33.320 And since there was no election fraud, the people protesting were only there to do something bad because the system worked the way it was supposed to and gave us a fair result.
00:07:45.940 Now that's the framing that the left is putting on this.
00:07:49.120 That's not even really close to what was happening.
00:07:57.280 Number one, nobody knows if any fraud happened in 2024 that would have changed the election.
00:08:04.060 It's unknowable.
00:08:05.840 What we do know is that the voting machines were vulnerable in ways we don't fully understand.
00:08:10.760 And we do know that the system was not fully auditable and that it looked suspicious to a lot of Americans.
00:08:18.620 That's all we know.
00:08:20.080 We also know that the courts are not the right place to figure out if an election was fair.
00:08:24.780 It can in some specific cases, but it's not an audit.
00:08:29.620 The courts are only going to look at things that they have standing for.
00:08:33.380 And when an election is done, the courts say, ah, we don't want to get involved.
00:08:37.060 It's done.
00:08:37.440 So the court system was always the wrong tool.
00:08:43.160 So when you say no court has found any fraud in the 2020 election, I keep confusing my ears, sorry,
00:08:51.680 you could also say no Geiger counter has found any fraud in the 2020 election.
00:09:02.060 It's true.
00:09:02.540 You could turn on a million Geiger counters and none of them would indicate fraud in the 2020 election.
00:09:09.760 You could also look at the oil level indicator on your car and it does not indicate there was any fraud in 2020.
00:09:18.880 So that's proof, right?
00:09:20.920 If you could look at the oil indicator of your car and it doesn't say anything about election fraud, well, we're done here.
00:09:28.060 Oh, oh, you're saying that the oil meter in your car is completely unrelated in any way to an election's validity.
00:09:39.060 Well, that's what I'm saying about the court.
00:09:41.420 The court, too, is a tool that has nothing to do with the election credibility.
00:09:46.260 Unless somebody brought them the right question and then they had standing and none of that happened.
00:09:53.220 So if you use the wrong tool to search for something and then you don't find it, the Democrats have concluded that if you use the wrong tool to search for something and don't find it, that's proof it doesn't exist.
00:10:05.040 That's as stupid as a human can be.
00:10:10.140 You know, there are lots of things in politics where you say, well, that's your narrative or you have different facts or different priorities or you're just playing politics.
00:10:20.660 Maybe it's just power.
00:10:22.420 This isn't any of those things.
00:10:25.240 This is raw, pure stupidity.
00:10:27.900 The people who are saying that because the courts did not find fraud, therefore there wasn't any, there is no other word for that.
00:10:38.440 That's just stupid.
00:10:40.580 And I'm pretty generous with different political opinions.
00:10:45.600 Very generous.
00:10:47.420 I don't want to say they're stupid most of the time.
00:10:49.780 Lots of times they say, well, you've got a good point, but maybe I like these priorities better or I have different context or different information.
00:10:56.860 But rarely can you look at it and say, look at something this cleanly and say, no, that's just stupid.
00:11:04.180 There's nothing else going on there.
00:11:07.760 If the courts didn't find any fraud, it's because they were the wrong tool.
00:11:12.740 They were never the right tool to look for fraud.
00:11:15.480 And it's amazing how many people believe this.
00:11:19.020 And it requires stupidity.
00:11:21.200 It doesn't require gullibility.
00:11:23.820 This is different.
00:11:24.880 Gullibility is something we all are susceptible to.
00:11:29.680 But you have to have a pretty deep level of stupidity to think that not finding something means it isn't there.
00:11:38.200 I mean, that's really basic thinking stuff.
00:11:41.020 Right?
00:11:41.340 That's, you should have learned that around sixth grade or so.
00:11:45.780 All right.
00:11:50.160 So every time they talk about whether or not there was election fraud, and they try to connect that to the protests on January 6th, your answer should be the following.
00:12:00.380 It doesn't matter if there was fraud.
00:12:02.920 That's the wrong question.
00:12:04.040 The question was, did the protesters believe there was enough of a signal for fraud just on the surface that they needed to look into it?
00:12:16.080 And the answer is that's exactly what they thought.
00:12:18.240 Most of the protesters thought it was obvious there was something going on.
00:12:24.140 That doesn't mean there was.
00:12:26.120 But to them, it looked like the signal was just blaring in a way that it had never done before.
00:12:32.660 And those people, what their mental state was is the entire case.
00:12:37.780 If their mental state was, we're not sure we got a fair election, let's delay just long enough to make sure it was fair, that's not an insurrection.
00:12:49.060 That's trying to prevent one.
00:12:51.900 That's preventing an insurrection.
00:12:53.820 And so, if you were the Republicans during these hearings, what you should do is move the attention away from whether or not there was election fraud
00:13:07.220 to the question of whether the people had reason to believe that there was strong enough signal that it needed to be looked into,
00:13:17.540 at least long enough to know if there's some major glaring problem here.
00:13:21.000 Now, I would just keep hammering on the Democrats and saying, how do you know what the Republicans were thinking?
00:13:31.020 Can you present some evidence of people's internal thoughts?
00:13:35.620 Because if you put the people on there and ask them their internal thoughts, they would all say the opposite of what the Democrats were saying.
00:13:43.140 They would all say, well, it looked like there might have been some fraud and we wanted to check it out.
00:13:47.620 That won't even be close to what the Democrats say they were thinking.
00:13:52.120 So, how can the Democrats make the case that it was an insurrection unless they can get even one protester to say,
00:14:00.940 no, our point was to overthrow the government.
00:14:03.540 We didn't really care about the election outcome.
00:14:06.380 It was just an excuse to overthrow the government.
00:14:08.240 I don't believe they can find one person to testify to that, because I don't think it existed.
00:14:15.120 Do you?
00:14:16.260 And that's what the Republicans should just keep hammering on.
00:14:19.660 Here's another thing the Republicans should hammer on.
00:14:22.480 They should use the event, because it's obviously a show trial kind of thing.
00:14:27.580 They should grandstand themselves, and they will.
00:14:30.100 But specifically, they should say that the real victims here are the people who believed the fake news.
00:14:40.980 And, well, let me put it a different way.
00:14:43.320 I would read my hoax quiz into the record and say, here's the context for the January 6th event.
00:14:51.240 Here are ten major hoaxes that the Democrats played on the country and largely got away with them.
00:14:58.260 Now, if these ten hoaxes were not known hoaxes, would you believe that this election was fraudulent?
00:15:09.540 Ask any Republican who was there.
00:15:12.640 So I would put one of the people who protested on the witness stand, if there is such a thing,
00:15:19.400 and I would say, if I'm a Republican, I'd say, were you there to overthrow the government?
00:15:26.980 No.
00:15:28.620 No.
00:15:30.100 No.
00:15:30.960 I was there to protect the government.
00:15:33.080 And I thought it looked like it needed protecting.
00:15:36.600 So what do they do?
00:15:38.580 Like, what do the Democrats do to that?
00:15:41.020 They just say, no, you're lying?
00:15:42.940 Because you could put on a hundred of them, and they would all say the same thing.
00:15:46.280 No, I thought I was protecting the system.
00:15:48.440 That's why I went.
00:15:49.820 I didn't go to overthrow the system.
00:15:51.660 I went there to protect it.
00:15:52.740 Now, if they said to one of the protesters, let me read the top ten hoaxes from the Scott Adams hoax quiz,
00:16:08.280 and just read the hoaxes and say, is this the context in which you distrusted the election?
00:16:15.320 Because it is.
00:16:18.740 It is.
00:16:19.360 Imagine being one of the protesters, and you just get to talk to Congress about what you're thinking.
00:16:25.180 And Ted Cruz says, all right, here are the list of top ten hoaxes that were played on the country around this time.
00:16:30.860 There was the Russia collusion hoax, you know, the fine people hoax.
00:16:36.040 You just go down the list and say, you're aware that all those were hoaxes, right?
00:16:40.520 Now, most Trump-supporting people will say, yes, I know those are all hoaxes, that they were all illegitimate Democrat efforts.
00:16:50.640 And then you say, is this the context in which you wondered if, given that everything else was corrupt,
00:16:57.100 is this the context in which you wondered if the election had been corrupt as well?
00:17:03.180 And what would they say?
00:17:05.160 They would say, yes.
00:17:06.780 That is exactly the context.
00:17:08.920 If I had not seen the Steele dossier, I wouldn't even think an election could be rigged.
00:17:15.280 If I had not seen so many hoaxes presented as truth, it wouldn't have even occurred to me to go to the Capitol.
00:17:23.020 Because I would have thought, well, I guess I was just surprised at the outcome.
00:17:27.100 I just don't like it.
00:17:28.960 But once the context is nothing but hoaxes, nothing but hoaxes.
00:17:34.420 Why would you believe that the election was the only credible thing that happened in five years?
00:17:40.140 What rational person would say, you know, every single entity in the government is corrupt, and we know that for sure,
00:17:48.280 but not the election system that was run by 50 separate entities that have incredible incentive and lots of opportunity for cheating.
00:17:58.140 No, that one's fine.
00:17:59.380 But every other institution and government entity has been proven fraudulent, corrupt, and thoroughly disrespectful, but not the voting system.
00:18:13.320 Wouldn't you love to see somebody just say what I just said in public?
00:18:15.780 You'd love it.
00:18:19.040 I mean, I think they're handing the Republicans.
00:18:22.300 Now, can somebody tell me which Republicans get to talk in these January 6 hearings?
00:18:28.980 Can you...
00:18:30.320 Who...
00:18:30.640 Is it Rand Paul?
00:18:32.240 Is he on the committee?
00:18:34.280 Give me the real answer, because I need a real answer here.
00:18:36.720 Because I want to know if there's anybody with talent on the Republican side.
00:18:43.400 Is it Rand Paul?
00:18:46.580 It's not Kinzinger, is it?
00:18:48.720 Did the Republicans quit?
00:18:51.840 There were some Republicans who...
00:18:54.100 Is Matt Gaetz on there?
00:18:56.700 He's not on there, is he?
00:18:58.760 How come we don't know that?
00:19:00.780 Romney?
00:19:01.420 No.
00:19:02.000 Is there no Republican on the committee, right?
00:19:03.840 So, does that mean that no Republican gets to ask any questions?
00:19:10.160 How does that work?
00:19:14.680 It's just Kinzinger and Liz Cheney?
00:19:18.580 Really?
00:19:20.120 So, are you telling me that these hearings will happen without any legitimate Republican pushback?
00:19:27.820 Is that actually...
00:19:29.020 Is that what's going to happen?
00:19:30.820 That's not going to happen, is it?
00:19:34.340 People are saying yes, that there will be no Republican pushback.
00:19:38.960 Are you kidding?
00:19:42.740 My God.
00:19:44.400 Well, one assumes that the Republicans will make statements, at least during the breaks, right?
00:19:51.020 So, anyway, I guess we need to know more about how this thing will run.
00:19:54.400 But I would like to see Ted Cruz or somebody of that quality just rip them apart.
00:20:04.300 Because they're really setting themselves up here to have the entire system put on trial.
00:20:09.460 And I think that's what the Republicans should do.
00:20:11.880 They should put fake news on trial.
00:20:13.880 Because if there's one thing you could point to that would create a riot, it's the fake news.
00:20:18.780 Those people didn't get that way on their own.
00:20:23.600 The Republicans didn't become the way they are because they watched Fox News.
00:20:28.020 That wasn't what happened.
00:20:29.760 They got that way because they watched what the Democrats did to them for years.
00:20:34.320 Now, I'm not saying Republicans haven't done bad things to Democrats, right?
00:20:39.740 But from the point of view of the protesters, they've been victimized for years.
00:20:45.060 And this was just more of it.
00:20:46.560 Or it could have been.
00:20:47.500 So they wanted to check it out.
00:20:50.840 Cruz is a senator.
00:20:51.960 So the hearings are in the House.
00:20:54.200 So we need a representative.
00:20:56.040 Tucker Carlson is going to be counter-programming.
00:21:05.080 So Fox News is going to run the hearings on their Fox Business channel, which is much smaller viewership.
00:21:14.900 What do you think about the fact that Fox News ran the Benghazi hearings to death,
00:21:21.460 whereas they're not going to run this on the main Fox News channel?
00:21:24.780 Does that seem fair?
00:21:26.040 Does that seem fair?
00:21:33.540 Well, do you think Benghazi was a hoax?
00:21:43.380 Because I feel like Benghazi was a tragedy.
00:21:48.640 And maybe we don't know exactly what happened there.
00:21:51.920 But I don't feel like it was a hoax so much as just a tragedy.
00:21:55.560 Now, there was that hoaxy part where they said it was caused by a film, right?
00:22:01.400 Or a video or something.
00:22:03.700 Now, that part was a hoax.
00:22:05.860 But I don't think that was terribly important to what happened, was it?
00:22:11.100 What does it have to do with anything?
00:22:12.260 So the question is, does Fox News run programming that's basically built around hoaxes?
00:22:23.360 You know, and there is a different quality to the Republicans being wrong versus the Democrats.
00:22:34.060 The Democrats look like they literally just make stuff up.
00:22:37.700 You know, the top ten hoaxes are literally just made up.
00:22:40.360 And often they're made up based on a real event, but then they change the context to make it up.
00:22:45.420 That feels really different than some of the things that the Republicans are alleged to have done.
00:22:52.740 It does feel different.
00:22:54.180 Because don't you think that the Republicans just believed everything that they said about Benghazi?
00:22:58.060 I feel like they believed it.
00:23:02.920 I don't know.
00:23:03.560 It doesn't feel like a hoax.
00:23:08.240 It's a distraction from gas prices, yeah.
00:23:10.820 Did CNN and MSNBC show the Benghazi hearings?
00:23:15.860 Probably not much.
00:23:19.520 Honestly, I never covered, didn't really pay attention to the Benghazi thing,
00:23:23.160 because to me it just looked like political bullshit.
00:23:26.080 To me.
00:23:27.220 Now, I agree that it had to be investigated to find out what the hell went wrong,
00:23:32.420 because as tragedies go, that's top shelf.
00:23:35.720 But, yeah, Benghazi was not a hoax in any way that we think of hoaxes.
00:23:44.620 That is correct.
00:23:46.120 But also, I don't think there was anything there.
00:23:50.260 Except that they lied about, you know, the cause of it.
00:23:53.740 But in terms of what happened for the responses and stuff,
00:23:57.220 that looked like incompetence.
00:24:00.600 Wasn't it?
00:24:01.480 Just incompetence?
00:24:04.240 That's all we know.
00:24:05.260 I mean, we don't know more than that.
00:24:06.960 But it looked like incompetence.
00:24:15.360 All right.
00:24:18.440 So, what else is going on?
00:24:22.480 So, Elon Musk is putting the squeeze on Twitter,
00:24:26.620 and he's saying that he'll walk away from his offer to buy it,
00:24:30.680 or at least at that price,
00:24:31.840 if they can't give him internal data on spam and fake accounts.
00:24:37.920 Now, I saw a bunch of people act as though this is some kind of a trick,
00:24:43.860 and that maybe he didn't mean to buy Twitter at all,
00:24:47.100 and he's just using it to, like, damage them.
00:24:50.720 No, that's not happening.
00:24:53.100 Let me tell you exactly what's happening.
00:24:55.320 What's happening is business as usual.
00:24:58.200 There's no story here.
00:25:00.120 No matter who you were,
00:25:02.280 if you were Elon Musk or anyone else,
00:25:05.320 you make an offer for the company,
00:25:07.380 and it's based on the company having told you the truth.
00:25:11.500 Right?
00:25:12.480 You make your offer based on the company having told you the truth
00:25:16.040 about the nature of their business.
00:25:17.380 But then there's always this second phase
00:25:20.080 in which you get to dig into that truth to make sure it's verified.
00:25:25.260 Due diligence.
00:25:26.180 Right.
00:25:26.700 So he's doing his due diligence,
00:25:28.260 and Twitter's saying,
00:25:29.040 no, we can't tell you the most important figure.
00:25:32.020 It's the most important data,
00:25:34.300 and we can't tell you.
00:25:36.220 If you're buying a company for, you know,
00:25:39.140 $44 billion,
00:25:40.880 and they won't tell you,
00:25:45.540 they won't confirm their data
00:25:47.140 that is the core engine of their entire profit model,
00:25:50.960 and they can't do it,
00:25:52.700 would you buy that company?
00:25:55.360 Not if you're smart.
00:25:57.240 Not if you're smart.
00:25:59.120 So no.
00:26:00.540 If you want to know what will Elon Musk do,
00:26:03.580 I can tell you exactly what he'll do.
00:26:05.880 If the data shows that Twitter told the truth,
00:26:10.880 he will buy the company for the price that he offered.
00:26:14.560 Guaranteed.
00:26:16.180 If it turns out that he does get the information,
00:26:20.900 and it is different from what they promised,
00:26:25.080 he will lower his offer price.
00:26:28.520 Guaranteed.
00:26:30.020 You don't have to wonder about that.
00:26:32.380 If he does not get information,
00:26:35.040 one way or the other,
00:26:35.920 and they say we won't tell you,
00:26:37.620 he will walk away from the deal.
00:26:39.280 Guaranteed.
00:26:42.300 Guaranteed.
00:26:43.040 You don't have to wonder what's going to happen here.
00:26:45.660 There is no mystery here at all.
00:26:48.400 Only the mystery of what they'll tell him.
00:26:50.880 But his actions are the same
00:26:52.440 as every investor in this situation.
00:26:55.160 There's nothing uniquely Musk-like
00:26:57.700 about what's going on.
00:26:59.180 This is just business as normal.
00:27:01.700 Exactly the way it's drawn up on paper,
00:27:04.800 the way every deal is supposed to work.
00:27:06.560 Just like this.
00:27:07.180 So sometimes you do walk away.
00:27:10.200 It's unusual,
00:27:11.180 because it means the company lied to you
00:27:12.980 about something that you could later confirm.
00:27:15.600 So why would you lie about something
00:27:17.560 that you could later confirm,
00:27:20.200 and then your lie would be revealed?
00:27:22.540 So it could happen,
00:27:23.540 but we'll see.
00:27:26.160 The most likely outcome would be
00:27:29.220 some ambiguous internal data will be produced,
00:27:33.380 Elon Musk will lower his offer,
00:27:36.060 and they'll say that's too low,
00:27:38.680 and then they'll renegotiate.
00:27:42.380 That's the most likely outcome.
00:27:44.540 When I was arguing online
00:27:49.500 that January 6th was not an insurrection,
00:27:53.280 I was asked,
00:27:54.640 why no insurrections until Trump?
00:27:56.420 If Trump is not responsible
00:27:57.860 for getting the crowd all worked up,
00:28:01.780 why were there no insurrections
00:28:04.140 in other close elections?
00:28:06.100 Because there have been other elections
00:28:07.460 that Republicans lost that were close.
00:28:10.900 So why only this time?
00:28:13.740 And the implication is
00:28:14.660 it was Trump himself
00:28:15.680 who whipped up the demonstrators.
00:28:19.080 To which I say,
00:28:20.680 was there nothing else different?
00:28:23.080 Trump was the one thing that was different?
00:28:26.060 How about the fact
00:28:26.920 that we'd listened to five years
00:28:30.280 of absolute fake news?
00:28:33.140 You don't think that mattered?
00:28:35.580 When the country saw every institution
00:28:38.640 operate fraudulently,
00:28:41.120 in their opinion,
00:28:42.520 and then they see this election
00:28:44.300 that looks sketchy,
00:28:45.960 did you really need Trump
00:28:47.480 to tell you that this looks sketchy?
00:28:50.840 No.
00:28:51.720 It only had to be an outcome
00:28:53.020 you weren't expecting.
00:28:54.760 And the people who thought Trump would win
00:28:56.820 got an outcome they weren't expecting.
00:29:00.300 So that alone is all that happened.
00:29:02.320 Now you put that,
00:29:03.280 the unexpected outcome,
00:29:05.440 and then you put that
00:29:07.060 in the context of the top ten hoaxes.
00:29:10.460 Why would anybody believe
00:29:12.040 this was a fair election?
00:29:13.780 It is not reasonable
00:29:15.020 to assume this is the only
00:29:16.600 non-corrupt element
00:29:18.520 in the whole fucking world.
00:29:20.940 Let me just say it again.
00:29:22.940 If it's your belief
00:29:24.240 that every entity
00:29:26.280 in the United States is corrupt,
00:29:27.980 and you've watched it yourself,
00:29:30.300 except for all 50 elections
00:29:32.440 in the 50 states,
00:29:33.520 you're a fucking idiot.
00:29:36.180 You are a fucking idiot
00:29:37.980 if you think that's true.
00:29:40.420 Now that's different
00:29:41.100 from saying the elections
00:29:42.040 were rigged.
00:29:43.940 I don't have evidence of that.
00:29:47.020 I've seen the 2000 Mules film,
00:29:50.300 and I walked away saying,
00:29:51.860 well, that raises many
00:29:52.980 interesting questions
00:29:53.940 I would like to have
00:29:54.600 a final answer to.
00:29:56.000 But it didn't convince me.
00:29:57.820 It didn't convince me
00:29:59.000 the election was rigged.
00:30:01.580 So I'm not on the
00:30:03.620 it's been proven,
00:30:04.400 it's been rigged thing.
00:30:05.840 I don't think,
00:30:06.960 you know, if I had to bat,
00:30:08.620 if I had to put a bat,
00:30:10.300 I wouldn't make a big one.
00:30:11.900 But if I made a small bat,
00:30:13.920 I'd say that the election
00:30:15.900 probably was close enough
00:30:17.240 to fair.
00:30:18.780 If I had to bat.
00:30:21.940 But I'm certainly not
00:30:23.060 going to rule out
00:30:24.100 the possibility
00:30:25.620 that one of those 50 states
00:30:27.600 in a swing state
00:30:28.420 did something sketchy,
00:30:29.840 that would be ridiculous.
00:30:31.980 Just ridiculous.
00:30:33.480 Moreover,
00:30:34.100 I will tell you that
00:30:35.160 since we know
00:30:36.220 there are vulnerabilities,
00:30:38.040 now we know
00:30:38.540 the voting machines
00:30:39.500 had some hacking vulnerabilities,
00:30:43.140 we can guarantee
00:30:44.680 that if those holes
00:30:45.640 don't get plugged,
00:30:46.940 they will be used
00:30:47.900 for bad purposes.
00:30:50.840 Because that's always the case.
00:30:53.140 Whenever there's
00:30:53.760 an opportunity for badness,
00:30:55.240 and it's easy,
00:30:57.180 and there's a big payoff,
00:30:58.900 and lots of people
00:30:59.520 are involved,
00:31:00.920 somebody's going to take that.
00:31:02.880 It's just free money
00:31:03.800 sitting on the table
00:31:04.760 or it wouldn't look like it,
00:31:05.960 free money.
00:31:07.160 Somebody's going to pick it up.
00:31:08.900 So we can't know
00:31:09.900 if this past election
00:31:11.680 was fraudulent,
00:31:12.620 but we can say
00:31:13.720 with complete certainty
00:31:14.780 that future ones will be.
00:31:17.740 Are you with me?
00:31:19.020 We can't know
00:31:20.020 if the last one was rigged.
00:31:21.520 Not for sure.
00:31:23.520 But we can say
00:31:24.240 with 100% confidence
00:31:25.600 future ones will be.
00:31:27.500 Because it's possible.
00:31:29.280 That's all you need to know.
00:31:30.820 There's no other data
00:31:31.660 you need to know.
00:31:32.240 It's possible.
00:31:33.820 Therefore, it will be.
00:31:35.520 And we're not fixing it.
00:31:37.620 So we are,
00:31:38.400 as a strategy for a country,
00:31:41.760 deciding collectively
00:31:43.000 to not have
00:31:45.600 credible elections
00:31:47.760 going forward.
00:31:49.280 We've actually decided that
00:31:50.620 as a country.
00:31:52.140 You don't think we have?
00:31:54.460 We have actually,
00:31:56.160 literally,
00:31:56.900 fucking decided
00:31:57.920 not to fix our elections.
00:31:59.780 Do you know why?
00:32:00.640 Because we're not doing it.
00:32:03.160 If the country
00:32:04.080 had decided to do it,
00:32:05.320 you'd see it being done.
00:32:08.180 We've decided to complain.
00:32:11.620 We've decided to complain.
00:32:13.260 And we've decided to disagree.
00:32:15.200 That's all we've decided.
00:32:16.860 We have not decided
00:32:18.140 to fix the system.
00:32:20.580 So, of course,
00:32:21.740 of course it'll be corrupt
00:32:22.820 in the future
00:32:23.360 if it's not already.
00:32:24.860 It has to be.
00:32:25.960 There's no other way
00:32:26.800 it can go.
00:32:27.860 No other way it can go.
00:32:32.320 All right.
00:32:35.240 Here's a persuasion tip
00:32:36.580 for Democrats.
00:32:39.400 And I would love to see
00:32:40.500 this brought up
00:32:41.100 at the hearings.
00:32:41.640 For years now,
00:32:43.900 the GOP has been calling
00:32:45.120 the Republicans
00:32:46.080 Nazis.
00:32:48.880 Right?
00:32:50.180 That part we can all
00:32:51.460 agree on, right?
00:32:52.620 That the Democrats
00:32:53.700 have been calling
00:32:54.320 the Republicans
00:32:55.140 Nazis and neo-Nazis
00:32:56.920 and neo-Nazi supporters
00:32:58.280 for now several years.
00:33:00.700 If you believed
00:33:04.620 that the Trump supporters
00:33:06.300 were actual Nazis,
00:33:10.240 isn't it your
00:33:11.920 patriotic duty
00:33:13.480 to rig the election,
00:33:14.960 to keep the men of office?
00:33:17.340 There's a question
00:33:18.260 I would ask
00:33:18.960 a Democrat
00:33:20.220 during the hearings.
00:33:23.020 I would say,
00:33:23.800 Dear Democrat,
00:33:24.400 do you believe
00:33:26.460 that the Republicans
00:33:28.120 are similar to
00:33:29.860 or in any way
00:33:30.680 act like Nazis?
00:33:32.940 And make them
00:33:33.860 answer that question
00:33:34.720 in public.
00:33:36.400 Can you tell the public,
00:33:37.880 do you believe
00:33:38.560 that Republicans
00:33:39.500 are Nazi-like
00:33:41.380 or operating
00:33:42.380 in the fashion
00:33:43.020 of Nazis?
00:33:44.720 What would a Democrat
00:33:45.920 say?
00:33:47.360 They can't say no.
00:33:49.680 They already
00:33:50.560 trapped themselves.
00:33:51.460 because they've been
00:33:52.640 saying yes forever.
00:33:54.600 And they can't
00:33:55.900 let their voters
00:33:56.580 hear them say
00:33:57.260 the Republicans
00:33:58.700 are not like Nazis
00:34:00.220 because their voters
00:34:03.380 are convinced
00:34:03.880 they are.
00:34:05.660 So suppose you get
00:34:08.100 them to admit it
00:34:08.760 and say yes,
00:34:09.360 you know,
00:34:10.060 in important ways
00:34:11.120 I think the Republicans
00:34:12.120 are like fascist
00:34:14.220 totalitarians.
00:34:16.280 So suppose you get
00:34:17.120 them to say that.
00:34:18.340 Here's the follow-up
00:34:19.260 question.
00:34:19.660 Well, can you
00:34:21.740 blame the Republicans
00:34:23.400 given that they're
00:34:25.600 also aware of
00:34:26.480 your attitude
00:34:26.920 about them
00:34:27.560 and they're aware
00:34:29.200 of the top ten
00:34:30.220 hoaxes that have
00:34:31.020 played against them
00:34:31.940 such as the
00:34:32.640 Russia collusion
00:34:33.420 hoax?
00:34:35.240 Could you blame
00:34:36.240 them for believing
00:34:37.040 that the election
00:34:39.100 was rigged
00:34:39.820 when you've just
00:34:41.080 admitted your
00:34:41.920 incentive to rig
00:34:42.840 it is very high
00:34:44.340 because you don't
00:34:45.300 want to keep
00:34:45.780 Hitler-like things
00:34:47.800 out of office?
00:34:48.380 So would
00:34:50.000 you,
00:34:51.280 Mr.
00:34:52.300 Democrat,
00:34:53.460 I'm going to
00:34:53.900 put it as a
00:34:54.640 hypothetical.
00:34:56.060 If you could
00:34:56.720 rig an election
00:34:57.400 to keep Nazis
00:34:58.560 out of office
00:34:59.220 in the United
00:34:59.840 States,
00:35:00.900 would you do
00:35:01.620 it?
00:35:04.980 Pin drop.
00:35:08.500 Got real
00:35:09.200 quiet at home
00:35:09.840 there,
00:35:10.120 didn't it?
00:35:12.260 Ask them
00:35:12.940 in public.
00:35:14.820 If you think
00:35:15.800 that Republicans
00:35:16.720 or Nazis,
00:35:18.280 would you,
00:35:19.040 if you had
00:35:19.680 the opportunity,
00:35:20.840 if you had
00:35:21.340 the control,
00:35:22.500 would you
00:35:23.120 rig the election
00:35:23.940 to keep them
00:35:24.580 out?
00:35:25.200 Yes or no?
00:35:29.560 How much do
00:35:30.340 you love that?
00:35:32.820 I bet you love
00:35:33.540 it a lot.
00:35:36.760 Now,
00:35:37.560 do you see
00:35:38.720 why I'm saying
00:35:39.560 the Democrats
00:35:40.500 might be walking
00:35:41.460 into a trap?
00:35:42.280 because the
00:35:44.460 trap is there.
00:35:46.500 The trap
00:35:46.980 exists.
00:35:48.160 They just
00:35:48.420 have,
00:35:48.860 you just
00:35:49.780 have to have
00:35:50.200 a Republican
00:35:50.920 that's clever
00:35:51.600 enough to
00:35:52.020 spring it.
00:35:53.220 They're going
00:35:53.760 to put their
00:35:54.200 foot right in
00:35:54.840 it.
00:35:55.380 It's already
00:35:55.840 there.
00:35:56.400 The foot
00:35:56.920 is in the
00:35:57.600 trap.
00:35:58.420 All you need
00:35:59.280 is Ted Cruz
00:36:00.080 to go over
00:36:00.600 and say,
00:36:01.360 well,
00:36:02.100 I believe
00:36:02.460 there's a
00:36:02.860 foot in
00:36:03.260 our trap.
00:36:05.260 Click.
00:36:05.740 The trap
00:36:11.140 is there.
00:36:12.100 The leg
00:36:12.620 is in it.
00:36:13.880 Just snap
00:36:14.920 it shut
00:36:15.320 and you're
00:36:16.260 done.
00:36:18.700 Now,
00:36:19.660 I don't
00:36:20.500 know if
00:36:20.860 the Republicans
00:36:22.980 will be
00:36:23.640 putting up
00:36:24.720 their A-team
00:36:25.380 to do
00:36:25.800 anything about
00:36:26.320 this or not,
00:36:27.100 but we'll
00:36:27.400 see.
00:36:31.200 Yeah,
00:36:31.560 Ted Cruz
00:36:31.960 won't be
00:36:32.300 there yet,
00:36:32.780 right,
00:36:33.100 because it's
00:36:34.220 a House
00:36:35.540 event.
00:36:38.680 Have I ever
00:36:39.320 told you
00:36:39.740 how useful
00:36:40.220 it is to
00:36:41.140 not be
00:36:41.580 embarrassed
00:36:42.100 about
00:36:42.420 anything?
00:36:44.240 Because I
00:36:44.720 wonder about,
00:36:45.440 you know,
00:36:45.640 you watch me
00:36:46.180 start talking
00:36:46.760 about this
00:36:47.160 topic.
00:36:47.960 Here I am
00:36:48.340 talking in
00:36:48.860 public about
00:36:49.740 this event,
00:36:51.060 and I'm
00:36:51.380 like confused
00:36:52.120 about even
00:36:52.580 which House
00:36:53.100 of Congress
00:36:54.520 is handling
00:36:55.020 it.
00:36:56.940 It doesn't
00:36:57.640 bother me a
00:36:58.200 bit.
00:36:58.900 Because to
00:36:59.880 a large extent,
00:37:00.720 I feel like
00:37:01.260 what we do
00:37:01.720 here is we're
00:37:02.180 working it
00:37:02.680 out.
00:37:04.020 Yeah.
00:37:04.560 Like, I
00:37:04.860 don't have
00:37:05.100 the answers
00:37:05.560 that I'm
00:37:05.880 giving to
00:37:06.260 you.
00:37:06.800 We're
00:37:07.140 sort of
00:37:07.400 working it
00:37:07.860 out together.
00:37:08.960 So you
00:37:09.700 can watch
00:37:10.120 your comments
00:37:10.800 change my
00:37:12.300 views in
00:37:12.680 real time,
00:37:13.260 which is
00:37:13.600 part of
00:37:13.820 the fun.
00:37:17.960 Now,
00:37:18.780 if the
00:37:19.760 only thing
00:37:20.100 that happens
00:37:20.520 is clever
00:37:21.380 Republican
00:37:22.720 pundits say
00:37:23.780 what I
00:37:24.220 said,
00:37:25.060 then nobody
00:37:26.180 on the
00:37:26.500 left is
00:37:26.840 going to
00:37:27.060 hear it.
00:37:28.040 But I
00:37:28.620 really want
00:37:29.200 the left
00:37:29.560 to hear
00:37:30.040 that there's
00:37:31.160 a consequence
00:37:31.840 to framing
00:37:35.220 the other
00:37:35.640 side as
00:37:36.480 Nazis.
00:37:38.120 And that
00:37:38.360 the consequence
00:37:38.920 is they
00:37:40.060 will act
00:37:40.620 as if you
00:37:41.180 mean it.
00:37:43.140 The
00:37:43.700 protesters
00:37:44.240 acted as
00:37:45.300 if the
00:37:47.120 Democrats
00:37:47.580 were telling
00:37:48.080 the truth.
00:37:49.580 Think about
00:37:50.340 it.
00:37:51.380 If the
00:37:52.120 Democrats
00:37:52.460 were telling
00:37:52.960 the truth
00:37:53.580 that they
00:37:55.220 believed,
00:37:56.080 now the
00:37:56.440 truth would
00:37:56.900 be what
00:37:57.180 they believe,
00:37:57.780 not what
00:37:58.140 is the
00:37:58.560 literal
00:37:58.940 truth.
00:37:59.940 But if
00:38:00.400 they were
00:38:00.680 telling the
00:38:01.100 truth,
00:38:01.480 that they
00:38:01.780 believe that
00:38:02.380 the
00:38:02.660 Republicans
00:38:03.120 are Nazis,
00:38:04.780 they had
00:38:05.800 to rig the
00:38:06.300 election.
00:38:07.380 Or they
00:38:09.160 have to
00:38:09.420 explain why
00:38:09.940 they didn't.
00:38:11.700 Because I
00:38:12.300 would want
00:38:12.700 them to
00:38:13.020 rig that
00:38:13.380 election.
00:38:14.160 I would.
00:38:15.120 I mean,
00:38:15.500 actually,
00:38:16.000 legitimately,
00:38:17.240 no irony,
00:38:19.900 this is not
00:38:20.860 hyperbole,
00:38:22.060 this is not
00:38:22.980 just being
00:38:23.380 argumentative.
00:38:25.740 If somebody
00:38:26.720 was running
00:38:27.240 in this
00:38:27.560 country and
00:38:28.120 looked like
00:38:28.520 they could
00:38:28.880 win,
00:38:29.800 and I
00:38:30.160 thought they
00:38:30.600 were actually
00:38:31.620 as bad as
00:38:32.460 Nazis,
00:38:33.560 I would
00:38:34.280 rig an
00:38:34.660 election.
00:38:36.200 I would
00:38:36.800 break the
00:38:37.200 law to
00:38:37.560 keep them
00:38:37.860 out of
00:38:38.120 office.
00:38:39.320 Would
00:38:39.580 you?
00:38:41.820 I'm not
00:38:42.420 sure what
00:38:42.820 you'll say.
00:38:43.580 In the
00:38:44.360 comments,
00:38:45.480 would you
00:38:46.120 rig an
00:38:46.580 election,
00:38:47.020 break the
00:38:47.400 law,
00:38:48.320 break the
00:38:48.800 law of
00:38:49.120 the United
00:38:49.400 States and
00:38:49.860 rig an
00:38:50.280 election,
00:38:51.340 if you
00:38:51.680 could stop
00:38:52.180 who you
00:38:52.560 honestly
00:38:53.260 believe was
00:38:53.880 a Nazi
00:38:54.320 from getting
00:38:55.540 into office?
00:38:56.480 Somebody
00:38:56.820 says no.
00:38:57.400 No.
00:38:58.000 Interesting.
00:39:00.160 Now, why
00:39:00.960 would you
00:39:01.240 say no?
00:39:02.040 Because you
00:39:02.560 wouldn't be
00:39:02.960 sure?
00:39:04.660 Because in
00:39:05.140 my hypothetical,
00:39:06.540 you're sure.
00:39:08.500 You can never
00:39:09.060 be sure.
00:39:10.000 But in the
00:39:10.520 hypothetical,
00:39:11.180 you're sure.
00:39:16.580 Oh, because
00:39:17.260 of consequences,
00:39:18.160 right?
00:39:18.940 No, I'm going
00:39:19.580 to say that
00:39:20.020 there might be
00:39:20.500 consequences.
00:39:21.720 They might be
00:39:22.160 bad.
00:39:23.300 But I feel
00:39:23.960 like you'd do it
00:39:24.540 anyway.
00:39:24.940 It's like
00:39:25.260 killing Hitler,
00:39:25.900 right?
00:39:26.480 Everybody says
00:39:27.260 they would
00:39:27.580 kill Hitler
00:39:28.040 if they had
00:39:28.480 a chance.
00:39:29.340 But you'd
00:39:29.780 be killed
00:39:30.160 too.
00:39:31.700 But you
00:39:32.220 still think
00:39:32.680 you'd probably
00:39:33.120 do it.
00:39:34.200 I mean,
00:39:34.560 I feel like
00:39:35.460 I would.
00:39:36.400 If I had a
00:39:37.040 chance of
00:39:37.440 killing Hitler,
00:39:38.320 but I knew
00:39:38.800 I'd get killed
00:39:39.420 too, I feel
00:39:41.080 like I'd still
00:39:41.680 take the shot.
00:39:43.520 I don't know.
00:39:44.600 I mean, I'd
00:39:45.100 rather somebody
00:39:45.600 else did.
00:39:46.880 But if I
00:39:47.540 happen to find
00:39:48.140 myself in that
00:39:48.860 situation and
00:39:49.640 nobody else
00:39:50.620 could do it,
00:39:51.860 I feel like I'd
00:39:52.700 take the shot.
00:39:54.220 You never
00:39:54.600 know until
00:39:55.000 you're there.
00:39:56.120 But, like,
00:39:57.100 philosophically and
00:39:58.240 just knowing my
00:40:00.260 own internal
00:40:00.820 makeup, I think
00:40:01.780 I would.
00:40:02.620 I don't
00:40:02.900 know.
00:40:05.980 Yeah.
00:40:07.100 Would you
00:40:07.480 strangle
00:40:07.880 baby Hitler?
00:40:10.140 Yeah.
00:40:12.660 Probably.
00:40:14.820 Probably.
00:40:16.760 But it has
00:40:17.720 to be under
00:40:18.160 the circumstance
00:40:18.960 that you know,
00:40:20.480 you know it's
00:40:21.520 going to work.
00:40:22.540 Right?
00:40:22.700 You know he's
00:40:23.380 out there.
00:40:24.480 That's not a
00:40:26.040 real situation.
00:40:29.540 All right.
00:40:34.880 That, ladies
00:40:35.740 and gentlemen,
00:40:36.540 is all I needed
00:40:37.240 to say today.
00:40:38.280 Because I think
00:40:38.760 the January 6th
00:40:39.600 thing will be
00:40:40.020 the dominant
00:40:40.800 story.
00:40:41.680 Is there any
00:40:42.100 story that I
00:40:44.980 missed?
00:40:47.160 You can't
00:40:47.920 predict the
00:40:48.380 future.
00:40:49.340 Well, maybe
00:40:50.200 you can't.
00:40:51.800 No, that's
00:40:52.200 true.
00:40:52.340 You can't
00:40:52.700 predict the
00:40:53.060 future.
00:40:55.600 Kyle Rittenhouse.
00:40:56.360 Yeah, Kyle
00:40:56.760 Rittenhouse is
00:40:57.440 suing the
00:40:58.000 media for
00:40:58.940 ruining his
00:41:01.500 life.
00:41:03.240 And I feel
00:41:04.580 like he's
00:41:05.020 going to win.
00:41:06.140 Don't you?
00:41:07.620 How could
00:41:08.360 Kyle Rittenhouse
00:41:09.180 not win this?
00:41:10.620 Because, I mean,
00:41:11.080 he was called
00:41:11.540 everything from a
00:41:12.620 white supremacist
00:41:14.240 to murderer.
00:41:15.460 and all of it
00:41:18.180 is objectively
00:41:19.160 not true.
00:41:20.340 I mean, it's
00:41:20.800 pretty easy to
00:41:21.440 show that none
00:41:21.940 of that has
00:41:22.360 any evidence
00:41:22.880 for it.
00:41:25.180 Yeah.
00:41:26.560 Putin looks
00:41:27.080 hale and
00:41:27.460 hearty in
00:41:27.920 his latest
00:41:28.420 interviews.
00:41:36.100 They will
00:41:36.700 claim he's a
00:41:37.300 public figure.
00:41:38.040 Well, not
00:41:38.520 when he did
00:41:39.100 it.
00:41:39.360 But,
00:41:39.440 that's
00:41:41.560 different,
00:41:41.960 right?
00:41:44.420 He already
00:41:45.220 won against
00:41:45.740 Whoopi?
00:41:46.660 Did he?
00:41:52.720 I didn't
00:41:53.480 hear about
00:41:53.900 that Georgia
00:41:54.520 voting kind
00:41:55.320 of thing.
00:41:56.020 Oh, so
00:41:56.700 here's another
00:41:57.400 one of the
00:41:57.920 fake news
00:41:59.240 hoaxes.
00:42:00.180 Do you
00:42:00.340 remember when
00:42:00.860 Trump called,
00:42:02.080 was it,
00:42:02.400 the Secretary
00:42:03.440 of State
00:42:04.280 of Georgia
00:42:04.900 and said
00:42:06.300 something like
00:42:06.900 he only
00:42:07.220 needs to
00:42:07.740 find 10,000
00:42:09.640 votes or
00:42:10.080 something?
00:42:10.840 Do you
00:42:11.020 remember that?
00:42:12.480 I only need
00:42:13.080 to find,
00:42:14.120 or you only
00:42:14.560 need to
00:42:14.900 find these
00:42:15.800 votes?
00:42:17.280 Now,
00:42:18.620 the people
00:42:19.360 on the
00:42:19.720 left believe
00:42:21.080 that listening
00:42:22.040 to that
00:42:22.720 audio is
00:42:25.720 proof of
00:42:26.320 a crime.
00:42:27.880 Do you
00:42:28.520 see a crime
00:42:29.060 in that?
00:42:30.840 What exactly
00:42:31.780 is the crime
00:42:32.360 that they're
00:42:32.680 imagining?
00:42:34.020 They're
00:42:34.520 imagining
00:42:34.940 that
00:42:35.220 find-me
00:42:35.660 votes
00:42:36.100 was an
00:42:37.240 invitation
00:42:37.800 to rig
00:42:39.720 an election
00:42:40.560 and that
00:42:41.320 Trump said
00:42:41.880 that while
00:42:42.620 other people
00:42:43.200 were listening
00:42:43.800 and he knew
00:42:44.320 it.
00:42:46.000 Do you
00:42:46.780 believe
00:42:47.240 in any
00:42:48.860 world
00:42:49.260 that Trump
00:42:50.480 would get
00:42:50.860 on a phone
00:42:51.340 call with
00:42:51.800 people listening
00:42:52.540 knowing it's
00:42:53.720 a public
00:42:54.400 recorded
00:42:54.960 situation
00:42:55.560 and he
00:42:56.660 would ask
00:42:57.180 somebody to
00:42:57.980 fraudulently
00:42:58.840 change some
00:42:59.620 votes?
00:43:01.500 There isn't
00:43:02.280 the slightest
00:43:02.680 chance that
00:43:03.200 happened.
00:43:03.480 There's
00:43:04.560 like none,
00:43:05.040 none,
00:43:05.760 zero.
00:43:06.780 Trump doesn't
00:43:07.360 even use
00:43:07.800 email.
00:43:09.240 He doesn't
00:43:09.680 leave a
00:43:10.060 record of
00:43:10.740 conversations.
00:43:12.180 There's a
00:43:12.460 reason he
00:43:12.840 does that
00:43:13.340 because it
00:43:14.960 can blow
00:43:15.600 up in your
00:43:15.940 face.
00:43:16.660 There's no
00:43:17.160 way in the
00:43:17.640 world that
00:43:19.520 he was asking
00:43:20.200 for something
00:43:20.760 illegal to be
00:43:21.720 done in front
00:43:22.320 of all those
00:43:22.780 witnesses while
00:43:23.520 it was being
00:43:23.960 recorded.
00:43:24.860 That didn't
00:43:25.400 happen.
00:43:25.680 Now, I
00:43:27.520 can't read
00:43:28.040 minds, but
00:43:29.700 it is the
00:43:30.260 least likely
00:43:31.200 interpretation.
00:43:33.000 The most
00:43:33.800 likely
00:43:34.180 interpretation
00:43:34.680 is that
00:43:36.400 he thought
00:43:37.000 that any
00:43:37.440 time you
00:43:37.840 ordered an
00:43:38.400 election, you
00:43:39.760 can find
00:43:40.320 votes.
00:43:41.340 Because you
00:43:42.060 know what?
00:43:43.420 It's true.
00:43:44.920 Every time you
00:43:45.840 order an
00:43:46.180 election, you
00:43:46.720 either get
00:43:47.180 rid of some
00:43:47.680 votes or you
00:43:49.000 find some
00:43:49.520 votes, don't
00:43:50.060 you?
00:43:50.500 Every time.
00:43:51.220 And he's
00:43:52.660 saying we
00:43:52.960 just need to
00:43:53.480 find this
00:43:54.220 many.
00:43:55.700 Now, that
00:43:56.580 may have
00:43:56.880 been an
00:43:57.260 impossibly
00:43:57.760 large number,
00:43:59.440 but what is
00:44:00.300 Trump some
00:44:00.820 election expert?
00:44:01.860 He knows how
00:44:02.360 many votes a
00:44:03.140 recount could
00:44:03.700 turn up.
00:44:04.360 And he did
00:44:04.920 think there
00:44:05.300 was some
00:44:05.760 sketchiness.
00:44:07.160 I think
00:44:07.700 legitimately he
00:44:08.720 probably thought
00:44:09.180 that.
00:44:13.800 They leaked
00:44:14.580 the call.
00:44:16.580 They leaked
00:44:17.340 the call and
00:44:18.920 then they
00:44:19.360 framed it as
00:44:20.240 something it
00:44:20.680 wasn't.
00:44:22.200 Yeah.
00:44:22.940 The actual
00:44:23.780 call doesn't
00:44:25.680 have anything
00:44:26.380 illegal in
00:44:27.000 it.
00:44:27.880 And the
00:44:28.220 context was
00:44:29.020 clearly finding
00:44:30.000 him a
00:44:31.800 correct vote.
00:44:32.820 They gave
00:44:33.120 him the
00:44:33.380 result he
00:44:33.800 wanted.
00:44:38.680 All right.
00:44:40.000 Anyway,
00:44:41.120 anything else
00:44:41.900 that I didn't
00:44:42.600 talk about
00:44:43.360 yet?
00:44:43.600 make that
00:44:51.320 11 hoaxes
00:44:52.100 here.
00:44:53.100 You know,
00:44:53.540 when I
00:44:53.800 asked for a
00:44:54.440 list of
00:44:54.980 hoaxes on
00:44:56.460 the Republican
00:44:57.040 side, I get
00:44:59.160 either old
00:44:59.840 stuff or
00:45:00.740 things that
00:45:01.440 look like
00:45:02.700 things that
00:45:03.100 people actually
00:45:03.620 believed as
00:45:04.480 opposed to
00:45:05.160 an intentional
00:45:06.880 hoax.
00:45:08.040 I mean, the
00:45:08.460 Russia collusion
00:45:09.160 thing is people
00:45:09.940 who didn't
00:45:10.400 believe something
00:45:11.080 trying to
00:45:11.660 make you
00:45:12.020 believe it.
00:45:12.960 That is
00:45:13.520 really different
00:45:14.400 from believing
00:45:15.920 something and
00:45:16.540 being wrong
00:45:17.000 about it.
00:45:18.800 Like, I don't
00:45:19.680 see those as
00:45:20.340 the same.
00:45:20.700 give us
00:45:25.760 three that
00:45:26.220 you think.
00:45:27.800 See, that's
00:45:28.260 the trouble.
00:45:28.780 There are
00:45:29.200 lots of
00:45:29.560 things that
00:45:30.460 I believe
00:45:31.200 Republicans
00:45:31.800 believe that
00:45:32.600 I don't
00:45:33.000 believe.
00:45:34.320 But that's
00:45:35.120 different from
00:45:35.600 hoaxes.
00:45:36.880 A hoax is
00:45:37.460 somebody made
00:45:38.000 it up.
00:45:39.580 And I
00:45:39.940 don't know
00:45:41.240 that...
00:45:42.060 You know,
00:45:42.380 let me give
00:45:43.340 you a clean
00:45:44.580 example.
00:45:46.080 Uranium
00:45:46.640 won.
00:45:48.220 You know,
00:45:48.460 the idea
00:45:48.880 that Hillary
00:45:50.440 was selling
00:45:51.380 our
00:45:51.640 uranium
00:45:52.060 one,
00:45:53.400 you know,
00:45:53.980 or I
00:45:55.100 guess it
00:45:55.320 was a
00:45:55.540 Canadian
00:45:55.920 company
00:45:56.420 operating
00:45:56.940 in the
00:45:57.320 United
00:45:57.560 States or
00:45:58.060 something.
00:45:58.880 But because
00:45:59.460 there were
00:45:59.900 some resources
00:46:03.100 there,
00:46:03.700 the uranium
00:46:04.180 that we
00:46:04.640 thought were
00:46:05.060 national
00:46:05.740 treasures,
00:46:08.760 that it
00:46:10.680 was dangerous
00:46:11.100 to have
00:46:11.440 Russia own
00:46:12.280 that company.
00:46:14.340 And that it
00:46:15.120 was all
00:46:15.380 because,
00:46:15.860 you know,
00:46:16.940 Putin was
00:46:17.740 bribing Hillary
00:46:18.480 or something.
00:46:18.800 Now,
00:46:19.660 how ridiculous
00:46:20.260 does that
00:46:20.860 feel by
00:46:22.440 today's
00:46:23.060 standards?
00:46:25.080 Because remember
00:46:25.900 when that was
00:46:26.340 happening and I
00:46:26.940 said,
00:46:27.520 why are we
00:46:27.880 even worrying
00:46:28.340 about this?
00:46:29.460 The mine is
00:46:30.160 in the United
00:46:30.640 States.
00:46:32.160 It doesn't
00:46:32.840 matter who
00:46:33.180 owns it.
00:46:34.260 If it ever
00:46:35.020 became a
00:46:35.660 military necessity
00:46:36.780 for us to
00:46:38.380 own all that
00:46:39.080 uranium that's
00:46:40.060 coming out of
00:46:40.500 the mine,
00:46:41.540 we would just
00:46:42.120 take it.
00:46:44.380 There was
00:46:45.020 never anything
00:46:45.600 there.
00:46:46.600 If it ever
00:46:47.120 became a
00:46:47.600 national
00:46:48.000 problem,
00:46:48.620 we'd just
00:46:49.000 say,
00:46:49.800 oh,
00:46:49.980 this mine
00:46:50.440 is in the
00:46:50.820 United States,
00:46:51.560 there's a
00:46:51.880 national security
00:46:53.120 interest,
00:46:54.200 you're going
00:46:54.540 to have to
00:46:54.820 sell it to
00:46:55.300 us.
00:46:55.800 We'll pay
00:46:56.920 market price,
00:46:58.520 but we'll
00:46:59.220 just take this
00:47:00.120 company because
00:47:00.820 there's a
00:47:01.320 security reason.
00:47:04.580 Nothing would
00:47:05.200 stop us from
00:47:05.900 taking that
00:47:06.420 uranium.
00:47:07.340 Nothing.
00:47:08.800 So there
00:47:09.480 was never a
00:47:10.100 story there
00:47:10.700 at all.
00:47:12.500 And Benghazi
00:47:15.020 to me looks
00:47:16.120 like some
00:47:18.080 big incompetence.
00:47:19.100 There might
00:47:19.320 have been some
00:47:19.680 cover-up, but
00:47:20.980 I don't know
00:47:21.660 that that was
00:47:22.120 a hoax
00:47:22.960 exactly.
00:47:24.700 I think it
00:47:25.220 was Republicans
00:47:25.820 who could smell
00:47:26.640 a cover-up and
00:47:28.100 were trying to
00:47:29.020 dig it out.
00:47:30.100 That's completely
00:47:30.740 different.
00:47:31.100 Yeah, Benghazi
00:47:41.700 was based on a
00:47:42.580 true story.
00:47:43.700 The part that
00:47:44.520 may not be
00:47:45.200 true is what
00:47:46.460 people were
00:47:46.980 thinking and
00:47:47.580 doing behind
00:47:48.140 the scenes.
00:47:49.340 That part
00:47:49.940 would be hard
00:47:50.600 to know.
00:47:58.220 Stronger
00:47:58.700 fentanyl,
00:47:59.440 yeah, that
00:47:59.760 story's been
00:48:00.240 around.
00:48:00.460 car fentanyl
00:48:01.280 that's been
00:48:01.520 around for a
00:48:02.000 long time.
00:48:05.780 Scott won't
00:48:06.600 admit, this is
00:48:07.580 a comment, that
00:48:08.400 the DNC murdered
00:48:09.640 Seth Rich.
00:48:11.400 No, I
00:48:12.080 don't.
00:48:13.340 I don't.
00:48:15.660 So let me
00:48:16.800 tell you what I
00:48:17.540 think about the
00:48:18.160 Seth Rich story.
00:48:19.720 It's just
00:48:20.160 something we
00:48:20.620 don't understand.
00:48:22.580 That's it.
00:48:23.980 You don't
00:48:24.480 think that
00:48:24.980 plenty of
00:48:25.400 people have
00:48:25.740 been killed
00:48:26.180 for reasons
00:48:26.720 we don't
00:48:27.140 understand?
00:48:28.500 I feel like
00:48:29.360 it's probably
00:48:30.300 happens a lot.
00:48:31.760 The fact that
00:48:32.600 his wallet
00:48:33.100 wasn't taken,
00:48:34.240 that doesn't
00:48:34.640 mean anything
00:48:35.160 to me.
00:48:38.300 Are you
00:48:39.020 persuaded by
00:48:40.260 the fact that
00:48:40.780 he wasn't
00:48:41.140 robbed?
00:48:42.380 That shouldn't
00:48:43.060 persuade you at
00:48:43.680 all.
00:48:44.180 Because there
00:48:44.740 are plenty of
00:48:45.160 reasons that
00:48:45.620 people get
00:48:46.060 killed, and
00:48:47.420 it's not all
00:48:47.980 about robbery.
00:48:49.580 Imagine, if you
00:48:50.360 will, that the
00:48:52.720 perpetrator murdered
00:48:53.920 him, intended to
00:48:55.840 rob him, but as
00:48:57.480 soon as he shoots,
00:48:58.200 he looks around
00:48:58.860 and sees
00:48:59.220 witnesses.
00:49:00.740 So he runs.
00:49:03.200 I mean, that
00:49:03.520 would be the
00:49:03.860 most normal
00:49:04.380 thing you do.
00:49:05.060 You kill a
00:49:05.520 guy, you look
00:49:06.900 around, and you
00:49:07.580 realize that you
00:49:08.120 attracted a bunch
00:49:08.900 of attention with
00:49:09.640 the gunshots, and
00:49:11.540 then you run.
00:49:12.620 So you leave the
00:49:13.340 wallet.
00:49:13.540 $140 million
00:49:21.700 donated to
00:49:22.440 Clinton Foundation.
00:49:23.860 Well, the
00:49:24.440 Clinton Foundation
00:49:25.280 is sketchy as
00:49:26.360 hell.
00:49:27.660 It does look
00:49:28.400 like they
00:49:28.740 created an
00:49:29.320 entity for
00:49:30.660 people to
00:49:31.240 attempt to
00:49:31.920 buy influence,
00:49:33.360 and then I
00:49:33.920 think the game
00:49:34.500 is that you
00:49:35.060 ignore them
00:49:35.720 anyway.
00:49:36.320 You take
00:49:36.960 their money,
00:49:37.420 and then you
00:49:37.660 don't give
00:49:38.040 them what they
00:49:38.460 want.
00:49:39.500 I think that's
00:49:40.100 part of the
00:49:40.560 game.
00:49:41.800 But I think
00:49:42.540 that was pretty
00:49:43.000 transparent in
00:49:43.900 a horrible
00:49:44.880 way.
00:49:45.200 It was
00:49:45.320 transparent.
00:49:49.420 Which take
00:49:50.160 don't you
00:49:50.500 like?
00:49:52.100 Which of my
00:49:52.820 takes don't
00:49:53.340 you like over
00:49:53.840 on Locals?
00:49:56.440 It was a
00:49:57.160 clear laundering
00:49:58.000 operation.
00:49:58.660 Yes.
00:49:59.540 It was a
00:49:59.980 clear laundering
00:50:00.680 operation in
00:50:04.040 terms of
00:50:04.480 influence
00:50:04.880 buying.
00:50:05.860 Yes.
00:50:13.000 You take
00:50:16.300 the move,
00:50:16.780 right?
00:50:17.120 All right.
00:50:21.160 Clinton
00:50:21.560 Foundation has
00:50:22.420 never had an
00:50:22.920 independent audit.
00:50:25.260 You know,
00:50:25.640 but the thing
00:50:26.160 about the
00:50:26.500 Clinton Foundation
00:50:27.140 is it's so
00:50:28.620 obvious what
00:50:29.460 its real
00:50:29.840 purpose is
00:50:30.700 that why
00:50:34.780 would you
00:50:35.080 even need to
00:50:35.580 audit it?
00:50:36.940 All you
00:50:37.480 really want to
00:50:37.980 know is who
00:50:38.460 put what
00:50:39.600 money into
00:50:40.080 it.
00:50:40.320 because you
00:50:41.560 just keep an
00:50:42.080 eye on them
00:50:42.500 because there's
00:50:42.900 something going
00:50:43.340 on there.
00:50:47.940 Thomas Massey
00:50:48.740 calls for
00:50:49.340 exiting the
00:50:50.000 UN.
00:50:53.520 I've
00:50:54.200 grown very
00:50:56.780 fond of
00:50:57.480 Thomas Massey's
00:50:59.140 provocative
00:51:00.400 opinions,
00:51:01.420 which is
00:51:02.240 different from
00:51:02.760 agreeing with
00:51:03.400 him.
00:51:03.540 I just
00:51:05.360 like the
00:51:05.820 fact that
00:51:07.360 he's probably
00:51:08.440 the smartest
00:51:09.060 person in
00:51:10.780 Congress.
00:51:12.820 And I
00:51:13.140 mean if you
00:51:13.580 were to
00:51:13.840 actually measure
00:51:14.900 his IQ against
00:51:15.980 all the other
00:51:16.600 people,
00:51:17.060 he could be
00:51:17.980 the top
00:51:18.340 one.
00:51:19.240 It's in the
00:51:19.880 top three
00:51:20.480 probably.
00:51:21.480 Yeah,
00:51:21.680 he's an
00:51:21.960 MIT graduate.
00:51:23.700 So when he
00:51:24.780 disagrees with
00:51:25.960 everybody in
00:51:26.580 the world,
00:51:28.000 and the first
00:51:28.560 thing you think
00:51:29.080 is, well,
00:51:29.400 he's not
00:51:29.740 going to be
00:51:30.000 able to
00:51:30.360 back that
00:51:31.100 up,
00:51:31.380 and then
00:51:32.580 you hear
00:51:32.820 his argument
00:51:33.260 and you're
00:51:33.520 like, oh,
00:51:35.000 oh,
00:51:37.360 well,
00:51:37.640 actually,
00:51:38.460 there are
00:51:38.820 reasons for
00:51:39.360 what he
00:51:39.640 says.
00:51:40.320 And they
00:51:40.820 kind of
00:51:41.380 stand up,
00:51:41.980 even if you
00:51:42.440 disagree with
00:51:43.060 them.
00:51:43.280 At least
00:51:43.540 you say,
00:51:43.900 oh, okay,
00:51:45.380 that is a
00:51:45.880 reason.
00:51:47.240 So it's
00:51:47.960 fun to
00:51:48.340 watch his
00:51:48.900 act,
00:51:50.720 because most
00:51:51.760 of the people
00:51:52.180 who are
00:51:52.440 provocateurs are
00:51:53.520 also idiots.
00:51:54.980 But to
00:51:55.540 have a
00:51:55.840 provocateur who
00:51:56.700 is literally
00:51:57.440 a genius,
00:51:59.000 that's fun
00:51:59.560 to watch.
00:52:00.080 because you
00:52:01.440 think he's
00:52:02.140 put himself
00:52:02.580 in an
00:52:02.960 unwinnable,
00:52:04.660 undebatable
00:52:05.820 losing
00:52:07.060 situation,
00:52:08.020 and then he
00:52:08.740 opens his
00:52:09.220 mouth and
00:52:09.640 you go,
00:52:10.300 well,
00:52:10.580 okay,
00:52:11.080 okay,
00:52:11.400 that's how
00:52:12.580 he got
00:52:12.840 into MIT,
00:52:13.500 I guess.
00:52:15.280 Talking about
00:52:16.180 Thomas Massey.
00:52:20.940 Tennessee
00:52:21.460 representative,
00:52:22.220 right?
00:52:25.200 All right.
00:52:28.200 Kentucky,
00:52:28.860 I'm sorry,
00:52:29.320 Kentucky.
00:52:30.080 Duh.
00:52:32.660 Would you
00:52:33.020 be surprised
00:52:33.600 that we
00:52:34.000 Californians
00:52:34.660 sometimes
00:52:35.280 confuse
00:52:36.040 Kentucky and
00:52:37.020 Tennessee?
00:52:38.500 I know.
00:52:40.240 Surprising.
00:52:41.940 Surprising.
00:52:43.420 Sometimes we
00:52:44.080 do that.
00:52:46.060 Alabama and
00:52:47.140 Mississippi?
00:52:49.140 Oh,
00:52:49.460 it feels like
00:52:49.900 the same
00:52:50.240 place to
00:52:50.640 me.
00:52:53.500 I
00:52:54.260 shouldn't say
00:52:54.720 that.
00:52:56.040 All right.
00:52:56.560 but it
00:52:57.320 is definitely
00:52:57.780 a California
00:52:59.240 blind spot.
00:53:02.140 I will
00:53:02.880 say that
00:53:03.480 that part
00:53:04.540 of the
00:53:04.760 country,
00:53:05.480 the Kentucky,
00:53:06.580 Tennessee part
00:53:07.200 of the
00:53:07.380 country is
00:53:07.800 looking better
00:53:08.340 and better
00:53:08.640 every day.
00:53:12.300 What did
00:53:13.000 I eat
00:53:13.380 yesterday?
00:53:14.280 That's a
00:53:14.620 weird question.
00:53:15.200 All right.
00:53:25.980 The
00:53:26.420 Adams law
00:53:26.980 of slow
00:53:27.440 moving
00:53:27.800 disasters
00:53:28.440 only works
00:53:29.400 if people
00:53:29.980 cooperate.
00:53:31.280 cooperate.
00:53:33.520 No.
00:53:34.740 I'd say it
00:53:35.220 only works
00:53:35.740 if enough
00:53:37.720 people
00:53:38.060 cooperate.
00:53:39.520 So you
00:53:40.160 only need
00:53:40.540 the people
00:53:40.860 who matter
00:53:41.280 to cooperate.
00:53:42.120 You don't
00:53:42.380 need most
00:53:43.340 people.
00:53:47.200 All right.
00:53:48.120 That,
00:53:49.400 ladies and
00:53:50.420 gentlemen,
00:53:51.700 is the
00:53:54.560 end of my
00:53:55.020 show.
00:53:55.540 Probably the
00:53:56.200 best thing
00:53:56.580 you've ever
00:53:56.940 seen in
00:53:58.020 your life.
00:53:58.560 It just
00:54:01.820 gets better
00:54:02.220 and better
00:54:02.540 every time.
00:54:03.880 All right.
00:54:04.820 YouTube,
00:54:05.660 I'll see you
00:54:06.200 tomorrow.
