Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1946 Scott Adams： Let's Talk About Twitter And The Hunter Laptop. What A Day!

00:00:00.000 And welcome to what will surely be the highlight of civilization, coffee with Scott Adams.

00:00:06.380 Do you think today will be fun?

00:00:08.740 Yeah, you do. You do.

00:00:11.240 But how fun will it be?

00:00:12.960 Well, unlimited.

00:00:14.740 But if you'd like to take it up to stratospheric levels, all you need is a cupper mug or a glass, a tank or a chalice or a stein, a canteen jug or a flask or a vessel of any kind.

00:00:24.720 Fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:00:27.060 I like coffee.

00:00:27.960 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine hit of the day.

00:00:32.040 The thing makes everything better.

00:00:34.120 It's called the simultaneous sip.

00:00:37.620 And it happens now.

00:00:38.940 Go.

00:00:43.560 Oh, yeah, that's good.

00:00:46.140 Well, there was some big news yesterday.

00:00:51.120 I don't know if any of you caught it.

00:00:53.600 Big news.

00:00:54.560 Everybody's talking about it.

00:00:55.800 But there's a movie called Cocaine Bear.

00:00:59.880 Cocaine Bear.

00:01:02.120 And although some think it's been a bad year for the left, Hollywood did manage to produce some high-level entertainment.

00:01:12.380 It's about a bear who gets into some cocaine and then becomes a rather vicious cocaine bear.

00:01:19.700 So, was there anything else that happened yesterday?

00:01:24.380 That's all I can remember.

00:01:26.100 Something about a cocaine bear.

00:01:28.380 Oh, oh, also something about Twitter.

00:01:31.500 Something about Twitter.

00:01:33.300 I get that confused with a cocaine bear.

00:01:36.840 You know, you can see how that would happen, right?

00:01:39.980 It's like Twittergate, cocaine bear.

00:01:43.580 It's practically the same story.

00:01:45.280 You just change some of the names.

00:01:46.360 But we'll get to that.

00:01:50.060 First, Wall Street Journal reports that about 25% of manufacturers have reduced operations in China over the past year.

00:01:57.960 One quarter of manufacturers have reduced Chinese exposure.

00:02:03.880 And so it begins.

00:02:04.940 How many of you believe that any of that was going to happen when I started telling you it was going to happen a few years ago?

00:02:12.780 I'll bet you didn't.

00:02:13.920 Now, I didn't see the pandemic coming.

00:02:16.140 But it did look to me like that China was too unsafe for business in a variety of ways.

00:02:22.140 And that variety I could not anticipate.

00:02:25.500 But I did tell you it would be too dangerous to do business in China.

00:02:29.440 And here we are.

00:02:30.080 Probably one of the least predictable predictions of all time.

00:02:37.660 How many other people predicted that like five years ago?

00:02:42.060 Not many.

00:02:43.140 Well, I think I started in 2018.

00:02:45.540 So four years ago.

00:02:49.040 All right.

00:02:49.840 There's a story that Vladimir Putin fell down some stairs at his home.

00:02:54.880 And apparently he defecated himself on the way down the stairs.

00:03:00.180 This is a report.

00:03:01.720 You know, it's not exactly the most confirmed report.

00:03:04.960 Because it's a report of something that privately happened inside Vladimir Putin's home.

00:03:10.320 I don't know that we have good information about that.

00:03:13.960 But it's a good story.

00:03:15.140 And the story says that Putin has cancer and Parkinson's.

00:03:21.840 And that was related to why falling down the stairs made him defecate himself.

00:03:26.900 Now, to me, this was not the most surprising story.

00:03:32.200 The most surprising story about this is I really had a $100 bet that Biden would be the first world leader

00:03:40.160 to fall down the stairs and shit himself.

00:03:44.820 But Putin takes the lead.

00:03:47.640 He was the first leader to fall down the stairs and shit himself.

00:03:51.160 Now, apparently, this is, he had a little practice.

00:03:55.920 Because Putin had already, when he invaded Ukraine, he had already shit the bed.

00:04:02.380 So now he has shit the stairs and there's some report that he was taken to a couch where he probably shit the couch.

00:04:11.080 So now Putin has shit a couch, some stairs, and the bed.

00:04:17.100 But at least he's consistent.

00:04:19.260 He's shitting everything.

00:04:21.200 And Biden, still good.

00:04:24.220 So I think we elected the right guy.

00:04:25.920 Biden is still holding strong, keeping that feces inside him, where it belongs.

00:04:34.780 Jobless rate is 3.7.

00:04:36.500 I think that's going to get a little higher because the layoffs that are coming.

00:04:40.200 But that's pretty strong.

00:04:42.640 Remember I tell you that there's one economic indicator I care about the most.

00:04:47.860 It's the most predictive.

00:04:49.380 And that is the jobless rate.

00:04:51.440 So no matter what things you think are going wrong, as long as that jobless rate looks pretty good, and it does, we can power through whatever we're doing.

00:05:02.640 It's only the jobless rate.

00:05:04.960 If you lose that, you're in trouble.

00:05:08.400 That's depression time.

00:05:10.420 But if people have jobs, even with inflation and even with other difficulties, they can muddle through until things get better.

00:05:17.540 So I think we'll be fine.

00:05:18.900 It's going to be difficult for about two years.

00:05:22.540 But we'll be fine.

00:05:25.780 I tweeted around a blog post that I wrote in 2015, in which I had predicted Ye would become president.

00:05:36.920 And my prediction was that he would fail in 2020, fail in 2024, and succeed in 2028.

00:05:44.120 Now, what I didn't predict exactly was the swastika business and the death gun on the Jews business. 0.85

00:05:56.120 Didn't see that coming.

00:05:57.500 Did not see that coming.

00:05:59.460 But let me ask you this.

00:06:01.820 Can you see any scenario in which he could recover from that?

00:06:05.020 Is there any scenario in which he could recover?

00:06:13.080 Because he's never going to get the Jewish population of the United States back, don't you think? 1.00

00:06:20.700 And that's gone forever.

00:06:22.800 Can you get elected under those circumstances, given how many people would feel the same?

00:06:27.260 I see one way.

00:06:33.220 He has one path, believe it or not.

00:06:36.020 And it would go like this.

00:06:37.080 If he frames himself and his campaign as free speech absolutists, suddenly it looks different, doesn't it?

00:06:49.680 And suppose he says, you know what?

00:06:52.200 I was probably acting out of anger because I was divorced and had some business difficulties.

00:06:59.120 But you know what?

00:07:00.240 I probably should not have said things the way I did.

00:07:02.900 And so, you know, I don't have this bad feeling about all Jews.

00:07:07.060 That's not what I was saying.

00:07:08.460 But I was acting out.

00:07:09.980 And here's the bigger issue.

00:07:11.760 Can I say what I feel?

00:07:14.000 Can I say what I feel, no matter how odious it is?

00:07:17.180 No matter how hateful, no matter how much it bothers you.

00:07:21.160 Can I say it?

00:07:22.800 If he does that, it's going to get interesting.

00:07:27.420 He would have to unambiguously reverse his position.

00:07:30.640 But if he sold it to you as I was acting out and I was, I wanted to see how far I could push the boundary of free speech.

00:07:40.740 Do you remember the first offensive thing he said before the, all the Jewish business? 1.00

00:07:46.860 Have you already forgotten?

00:07:48.900 What was the big provocation he did before he went DEFCON on the Jews using his words?

00:07:57.480 Do you remember what it was?

00:07:58.500 It was White Lives Matter. 0.67

00:08:03.720 Ah.

00:08:05.180 Now think about the context.

00:08:08.060 Add White Lives Matter to the whole story. 0.89

00:08:11.700 If you see the, if you see the yay goes off on the Jews as the entire story, everything about that is terrible.

00:08:20.480 Like that's, that's, that's you, you have to get rid of that, right?

00:08:25.660 If you see it by itself.

00:08:27.440 If you see it as part of a clear intention to figure out what it is he can't say and then say it as much as he can, it starts making, it looks different, doesn't it?

00:08:39.200 He started by saying White Lives Matter.

00:08:44.660 Basically, he said, what's the thing that I would most get cancelled for?

00:08:48.780 And then he did it really aggressively.

00:08:50.440 And then when he realized that people were going to, that he couldn't say anything about the Jewish population, he went right at it. 0.99

00:09:01.420 And I'll bet you if you could figure out anything that's worse than what he's already done.

00:09:05.660 Oh, he also defended Balenciaga.

00:09:07.980 He defended Balenciaga and said, you know, the pedophile stuff was a limited number of people, and so you shouldn't blame the whole company.

00:09:19.840 All right.

00:09:20.740 Nobody who was black was saying White Lives Matter, except Candace Owens, I suppose.

00:09:27.180 No one would say, would say what he said about the Jewish community in the United States.

00:09:33.440 Odious and, you know, must be disavowed.

00:09:36.320 And nobody would have defended Balenciaga under that current condition.

00:09:44.040 If everything he does is he models doing the thing you're not supposed to do, he can put that together as a portfolio.

00:09:54.320 He can say, look, I'm defending free speech.

00:09:58.420 I'm going to move your boundaries out, and you're not going to like it.

00:10:02.020 But that's not the point.

00:10:03.680 The point is not we all agree.

00:10:05.160 The point is, oh, you know, we love each other and find a way to get along.

00:10:09.560 But free speech is an absolute.

00:10:12.120 And I'll apologize for hurting somebody.

00:10:15.000 Maybe he says that later.

00:10:16.860 But I'm not going to apologize for free speech.

00:10:20.020 Because when I said it, I meant it.

00:10:23.600 Right?

00:10:24.180 What if he says that?

00:10:25.600 You know, when I said it, I was really mad.

00:10:27.960 I was in a bad place.

00:10:29.000 And I meant every word of it.

00:10:31.660 But now in my more grounded perspective, I see that it hurt some people that didn't need to be hurt.

00:10:38.400 And that it was more negative than positive.

00:10:41.420 But I will defend to the death my right to have said it.

00:10:45.220 It would be an interesting argument, wouldn't it?

00:10:50.180 Interesting argument.

00:10:55.380 But I don't think he could ever get the Jewish community back. 1.00

00:10:59.200 But I'll give you one way he could.

00:11:02.260 Here's one way he could actually get the entire Jewish community back.

00:11:05.560 Give them everything they want.

00:11:11.800 Do you know how Joe Biden won, despite the fact that he's a walking bag of sticks?

00:11:17.720 Because he promised to give the Democrats what they wanted.

00:11:21.060 And that was more important.

00:11:23.220 If Ye said, you know, I was totally wrong about that.

00:11:26.960 But here are my policies about Israel and about whatever.

00:11:31.560 About anti-Semitism.

00:11:32.500 And I'm going to go as hard as possible to make sure there's no more anti-Semitism.

00:11:37.120 And Israel does well.

00:11:39.400 Then what?

00:11:40.840 Then what?

00:11:41.980 Then what does the Jewish community say?

00:11:43.760 Well, we really did hate him when he said that thing.

00:11:47.820 But everything he's saying now sounds good.

00:11:50.480 And everything he's doing now sounds good.

00:11:53.140 So what are you going to do?

00:11:55.420 So the only thing I'm going to say about this is that

00:11:58.220 don't be surprised by anything.

00:12:00.980 That's all.

00:12:03.680 Just don't be surprised by anything.

00:12:06.180 And I want to make sure that this doesn't sound like I'm defending Ye's opinions.

00:12:11.580 I'm not.

00:12:13.040 Right?

00:12:13.400 Because the whole point of this is that we all understand

00:12:16.640 what he said to be across the line of not free speech,

00:12:22.100 certainly within free speech,

00:12:23.420 but it's across the bounds of what a public figure should be doing

00:12:27.600 if they're trying to do good for the country.

00:12:30.440 And I think Ye is likely to come around to that point of view.

00:12:35.080 But by the time he does, he's going to create five more controversies.

00:12:40.120 So he's not done creating a controversial thing.

00:12:44.340 All right.

00:12:45.460 Let's talk about Russian disinformation.

00:12:48.840 Have you all seen by now the compilation clips of the media

00:12:52.240 telling us that the Hunter laptop story was obviously, obviously Russian dis...

00:12:58.320 Oh, so obviously Russian disinformation.

00:13:01.500 Oh, there's not...

00:13:02.560 We don't have any verification of that.

00:13:06.240 It's very embarrassing now that Musk has allowed the real story to come out,

00:13:11.980 which we'll talk about.

00:13:13.640 Very embarrassing.

00:13:14.600 And so I said to myself, how do those media entities handle it?

00:13:19.260 You know, when they're caught red-handed

00:13:20.600 doing the worst thing you could do if you're a media entity,

00:13:23.520 how do they handle it?

00:13:25.520 Well, the CNN front page today, no mention.

00:13:32.260 No mention.

00:13:34.380 So I'd like to make an adjustment

00:13:38.280 to something I said about CNN recently.

00:13:41.000 Now, recently I've been saying that Chris liked or licked,

00:13:45.080 I'm not sure how to pronounce it, liked, light.

00:13:48.260 The new head of CNN was doing, in my opinion, a great job

00:13:53.320 because he said he was going to bring CNN to the reasonable middle

00:13:56.920 and it looked like the reporting did exactly that.

00:14:00.220 It looked like the personnel moves were definitely on target.

00:14:06.260 And then this happens.

00:14:07.500 How do we explain this?

00:14:12.560 Do you think that the head of CNN is not aware

00:14:15.120 that the entity he manages

00:14:17.780 is intentionally hiding the biggest story of the year?

00:14:21.240 Do you think he's not aware of that?

00:14:22.880 Of course he is.

00:14:24.320 Of course he is.

00:14:26.420 So Chris liked or licked or whatever your name is,

00:14:30.920 fuck you. 0.97

00:14:32.460 Fuck you, you piece of shit. 1.00

00:14:35.020 You fucking piece of shit.

00:14:36.580 I thought you had some potential.

00:14:39.000 And I supported you against my critics.

00:14:42.760 Against my critics, I took your fucking side.

00:14:45.560 You fucking piece of shit.

00:14:47.820 You are a traitor.

00:14:49.800 You are not a patriot.

00:14:52.300 You are a piece of fucking shit.

00:14:55.400 You are scum.

00:15:00.040 Tell us the fucking news, asshole.

00:15:03.960 Show the fucking news.

00:15:06.580 Suck it up. 0.94

00:15:08.000 I was ready to forgive everything.

00:15:12.200 I was ready to forgive CNN completely, so long as they corrected.

00:15:16.960 But no.

00:15:18.400 This shows that there is no fucking correction going on.

00:15:21.960 This is disgusting.

00:15:25.620 It's disgusting.

00:15:26.720 It makes you sick to see that there are Americans in your country who would do this to you.

00:15:34.580 Because they had to see you then.

00:15:36.580 He's fucking you. 0.99

00:15:37.980 He's fucking you right now. 0.99

00:15:39.700 He's treating you like a piece of shit.

00:15:42.640 And we should treat him the same.

00:15:45.060 I mean his business, not him personally.

00:15:47.040 Don't do anything to him personally.

00:15:48.140 We don't encourage going after people.

00:15:53.920 But I am just blown the fucking way.

00:15:58.140 Now, how about the Washington Post?

00:16:00.360 Big front page story?

00:16:03.440 Nope.

00:16:05.360 Nope, nope, nope.

00:16:07.020 But do I hold it against the Washington Post as much as CNN?

00:16:10.540 Nope, I don't.

00:16:11.480 Because CNN lied to us.

00:16:13.900 They said they're coming to the middle and they fucking lied.

00:16:17.680 Bastards.

00:16:18.720 The rest of them, at least, they're staying true to their nature, right?

00:16:23.380 The New York Times.

00:16:24.820 Now, how about the New York Times?

00:16:26.840 I'm guessing the New York Times covered it, did they?

00:16:30.860 And by the way, shout out to Axios.

00:16:34.340 Shout out to Axios.

00:16:36.140 Axios covered it just like it's news.

00:16:38.760 It's exactly the way you're supposed to cover the news.

00:16:42.540 Like it's news.

00:16:44.740 They covered it.

00:16:46.280 Good.

00:16:47.600 So Axios, you get an A-plus for being an independent, reasonable entity for news.

00:16:53.840 And I would recommend all of you to bookmark Axios.

00:16:58.520 Because Axios showed that they are an asset to the country.

00:17:04.820 Okay?

00:17:05.380 CNN showed you that they are a detriment to the country.

00:17:08.760 And I'm not even talking about, like, who you like for entertainment and news.

00:17:13.360 This is fucking about the country.

00:17:15.800 I mean, this is actually an attack on America.

00:17:18.940 CNN not covering this is an attack on America.

00:17:21.760 I mean, really.

00:17:22.680 I can't...

00:17:23.380 I could not be more pissed off.

00:17:27.400 But MSNBC, yeah, what are they going to do today?

00:17:36.040 So here's how the left is starting to spin it.

00:17:38.860 By the way, you all know this story by now, right?

00:17:41.080 Do I need to tell you what the Twittergate story is all about?

00:17:44.800 Let me hit the highlights, all right?

00:17:46.840 Just in case somebody doesn't know.

00:17:48.260 So Musk yesterday said he was going to tweet out the details of the Hunter laptop story

00:17:54.440 and what Twitter did to suppress it.

00:17:56.800 He had Matt Taibbi, investigative journalist who is very well respected on both the left

00:18:03.600 and the right, which is very important.

00:18:05.600 In the entire world, there probably was not a better choice for Elon Musk than Matt Taibbi.

00:18:12.760 He was one of the few people who you think will call balls and strikes on both sides.

00:18:18.360 Like, very rare.

00:18:19.720 In fact, name the second person.

00:18:23.760 Right?

00:18:24.760 Name the other person who could do that job.

00:18:28.100 Like, I can't even fucking think of one.

00:18:30.180 Yeah, if you said Glenn Greenwald, he's a little bit too...

00:18:33.740 a little too controversial.

00:18:35.960 He would be my second choice, perhaps.

00:18:37.920 But Taibbi was, by far, the best choice for this, right? 0.93

00:18:45.380 So Taibbi does the tweet storm.

00:18:48.640 You know, we're waiting, like, three to seven minutes for each new tweet.

00:18:51.820 And it was, oh, my God, it was so hard to wait for the next tweet.

00:18:57.220 Because you're just there, ah, ah, ah, come on, come on.

00:19:00.920 I mean, I started to get, like, mental disturbance from, like, wanting it so hard.

00:19:06.200 But here's what we have learned, among other things.

00:19:11.220 Twitter did indeed suppress the story.

00:19:14.300 It was a major conversation within Twitter.

00:19:17.920 And they did know that they were making up a reason for suppressing it.

00:19:25.260 That was my take.

00:19:26.480 Does anybody disagree with that take?

00:19:28.120 That people within Twitter knew they were lying.

00:19:32.540 And that the lie they came up with is that they couldn't confirm the laptop was not hacked.

00:19:41.180 Do you know what else you can't confirm wasn't hacked?

00:19:44.960 Pretty much everything.

00:19:47.260 There's lots of things you can't confirm.

00:19:49.540 It doesn't make it not news.

00:19:50.960 So it looks like Twitter intentionally made up a bullshit story that would pass the legal muster.

00:19:58.760 Because you can always say, well, we weren't sure it wasn't hacked.

00:20:03.360 So it gives you this total out.

00:20:05.720 And you can see the lawyer, Baker, the lawyer did the best job of making sure that when he was discovered later.

00:20:13.920 Because lawyers are smarter about what they write down.

00:20:16.900 Way smarter, right?

00:20:18.400 But you rarely will see a lawyer write down something that sounds illegal.

00:20:23.400 Because they know not to write that down.

00:20:25.920 And so the way Baker did it was the most clever.

00:20:28.920 Say, yes, we literally don't have a way to confirm that that wasn't hacked.

00:20:33.680 And I guess that's technically true.

00:20:37.440 Now, so they did make up a bullshit thing.

00:20:41.800 The other thing we learned is that there were a number of people within Twitter,

00:20:45.520 apparently, I don't know how many,

00:20:46.760 who could kick somebody off of Twitter or suspend them.

00:20:51.240 And so they were getting requests from both the Trump administration,

00:20:55.640 important point,

00:20:57.000 and also the Biden administration,

00:20:58.800 or the, yeah,

00:21:00.460 they were getting both the Democrats and the Republicans

00:21:03.440 asking them for getting rid of users,

00:21:07.280 or suppressing users.

00:21:08.160 So not only did they totally suppress the laptop story,

00:21:12.540 but they used a tool that they only used for pedophiles.

00:21:16.760 You couldn't even DM privately to another person

00:21:21.340 the story about the Hunter laptop story.

00:21:24.780 You couldn't privately DM it to somebody.

00:21:28.680 Now, that they only did that for pedophile stuff.

00:21:34.160 That's how deeply and how hard they tried to suppress this thing.

00:21:38.140 We also found out that requests to ban individuals by name were accepted.

00:21:45.960 And James Wood was specifically mentioned by the Democrats to be kicked off,

00:21:51.960 and he was.

00:21:53.720 Now, does anybody remember me telling you

00:21:57.720 that I didn't think that Jack Dorsey

00:22:02.320 was necessarily aware of everything that was happening below the hood?

00:22:07.280 How many people heard me say that?

00:22:10.240 Because we're getting lots of yeses on the locals channel

00:22:16.200 because they've seen me the longest.

00:22:18.120 All right, so we see some yeses.

00:22:19.280 I needed you to confirm that

00:22:20.820 because I'm the only person who predicted it.

00:22:24.200 Would you agree?

00:22:25.440 Would you also agree that nobody else in the world

00:22:27.920 predicted that Jack Dorsey might not know the whole story

00:22:31.340 of what's happening below the hood?

00:22:34.020 Right?

00:22:35.080 Now, how did I predict that?

00:22:38.920 Let me tell you how I predicted it.

00:22:41.540 Two factors.

00:22:42.420 Number one is the Dilbert factor,

00:22:44.400 which says that the people at the top

00:22:46.440 very often don't know what's happening.

00:22:49.360 That's just a very common situation.

00:22:52.020 Number two,

00:22:53.900 I like to think I'm at least a reasonable judge of character.

00:22:58.380 And I had enough interaction with Jack

00:23:00.980 to know it would have been completely out of his character

00:23:04.140 to be just lying about this.

00:23:07.240 Like just a straight lie.

00:23:08.680 To me, he looked like he actually had a mystery

00:23:12.580 that he couldn't solve either.

00:23:15.460 And it looks like probably it took Musk

00:23:17.900 to get in there and fire enough people

00:23:20.240 and do enough stuff

00:23:21.400 that they could get to the bottom of it.

00:23:24.880 So I'm going to take credit

00:23:26.320 for correctly noting

00:23:28.780 that it didn't look like it would have been in character

00:23:31.700 for Jack to have known everything that was happening.

00:23:34.280 And that if you're managing two companies,

00:23:39.340 you know, that's going to happen.

00:23:40.600 That's the obvious risk

00:23:42.780 is that if you're managing two companies,

00:23:45.440 you're going to have one of them running,

00:23:47.040 at least one of them running autonomously.

00:23:49.620 And that's what was happening.

00:23:52.520 All right.

00:23:56.840 So then there's the question of

00:23:59.260 was Twitter violating the First Amendment.

00:24:04.200 Here's what Musk says.

00:24:06.320 Musk tweeted,

00:24:07.240 Twitter acting by itself to suppress free speech

00:24:09.960 is not a First Amendment violation,

00:24:12.800 but acting under orders from the government

00:24:14.820 to suppress free speech

00:24:16.300 with no judicial review is.

00:24:19.800 Now, Ted Lieu, famous Democrat,

00:24:22.840 had an exception to that.

00:24:24.380 And he replied, he goes,

00:24:26.080 Dear Elon Musk,

00:24:27.420 I'm in the government

00:24:28.460 and I order you to stop posting stupid shit. 0.55

00:24:32.000 And then he goes on,

00:24:33.140 See why your post is wrong.

00:24:35.060 Twitter can do whatever it wants

00:24:36.540 as a private sector company

00:24:37.940 when it comes to speech.

00:24:39.580 And the Biden campaign team

00:24:41.320 wasn't the government.

00:24:43.440 Trump was president in 2020.

00:24:46.220 So not only was it not the government,

00:24:48.460 it was a campaign,

00:24:50.360 but even if the government

00:24:51.980 did ask Twitter to do something

00:24:53.480 about free speech,

00:24:54.880 which Twitter could

00:24:56.220 just ignore them

00:24:58.140 because they're a private company.

00:25:00.900 That's his argument.

00:25:03.160 Now, does anybody remember

00:25:05.120 in the Wayback Machine

00:25:07.420 a common thing that was said

00:25:09.760 about a president named Trump?

00:25:12.760 I believe they used to say

00:25:14.140 that he didn't need to explicitly

00:25:16.620 say what he meant

00:25:17.840 because his mafia talk

00:25:20.180 said it all.

00:25:21.480 Because the mafia talk

00:25:24.180 where you don't say

00:25:25.440 what you need,

00:25:26.240 but everybody knows,

00:25:28.000 everybody knows

00:25:28.780 if you say take care of Bob,

00:25:30.940 that means whack him, right?

00:25:33.820 But deniability,

00:25:35.900 I just said take care of him.

00:25:37.580 I didn't say kill him.

00:25:38.660 I said take care of him.

00:25:40.040 So the mafia talk was real.

00:25:43.200 That's what the Democrats told us.

00:25:45.800 But in this case,

00:25:47.160 there was no mafia talk.

00:25:48.660 So when the person

00:25:50.220 who is likely to become

00:25:51.360 your next president

00:25:52.300 asks you to do something

00:25:54.040 and that next president

00:25:55.860 has the power

00:25:56.540 to maybe get you

00:25:57.800 heavily regulated

00:25:59.000 or taxed,

00:26:00.660 what are you going to do?

00:26:02.780 Are you going to say,

00:26:03.900 no,

00:26:04.600 my government telling me

00:26:05.800 something to do something

00:26:07.160 that's really,

00:26:07.900 really important to them,

00:26:09.800 I'll just ignore that

00:26:11.140 and that'll work out fine for me.

00:26:13.440 Did Chuck Schumer tell you

00:26:15.240 that government entities

00:26:16.960 sometimes will get revenge?

00:26:18.960 Oh, yes, he did.

00:26:20.480 Chuck Schumer told you himself

00:26:21.960 that the intel agencies

00:26:23.040 would get revenge on Trump

00:26:24.320 for messing with him.

00:26:25.980 Do you think it's only

00:26:27.000 intel agencies

00:26:27.820 who get revenge?

00:26:29.400 No.

00:26:31.040 No.

00:26:34.180 So I would say to Ted Lieu,

00:26:35.700 this is an interesting

00:26:36.440 Supreme Court case

00:26:37.680 because in my opinion,

00:26:39.180 if somebody who's going

00:26:41.240 to be a government entity

00:26:42.560 asks you to do something

00:26:44.180 and you do it,

00:26:45.500 it's at least

00:26:46.260 an implied threat.

00:26:48.020 Am I right?

00:26:50.220 Wouldn't you see it

00:26:51.100 as an implied threat?

00:26:53.360 And is an implied threat

00:26:54.780 enough of a threat

00:26:55.800 to violate the First Amendment?

00:26:58.460 I'm going to say

00:26:59.300 if you put me on that jury,

00:27:01.020 I guess I'd have to be

00:27:01.940 in the Supreme Court,

00:27:03.160 but I would say yes.

00:27:04.660 I would say that

00:27:05.440 is a clear case

00:27:06.380 of a violation

00:27:07.000 of a First Amendment.

00:27:08.260 But there is room

00:27:09.340 for opinion.

00:27:09.820 I could see how somebody

00:27:11.780 would have a different opinion.

00:27:13.520 Maybe.

00:27:17.380 And then I replied

00:27:18.440 to Ted Lieu

00:27:19.320 and I said,

00:27:19.980 in this hypothetical,

00:27:21.440 you know,

00:27:21.700 where Ted Lieu

00:27:22.280 is asking Twitter

00:27:23.040 to do something

00:27:23.700 and they ignore him,

00:27:25.480 I said,

00:27:25.940 in this hypothetical,

00:27:26.960 do you also have

00:27:27.620 the power to punish Twitter

00:27:28.740 with burdensome regulations

00:27:30.460 if they don't bend

00:27:31.420 to your will

00:27:31.920 as a private company?

00:27:34.040 I'm guessing

00:27:34.700 that he won't answer that.

00:27:36.580 Just guessing.

00:27:37.220 You know who I haven't seen

00:27:40.400 in the last couple of days?

00:27:42.200 Carl Bernstein.

00:27:44.460 Also known as

00:27:45.420 the worse than Watergate guy.

00:27:47.320 Because I wonder

00:27:47.980 if anything has happened recently

00:27:49.400 that's worse than Watergate.

00:27:53.080 Something that really

00:27:54.000 just screams out

00:27:55.240 for the worse than Watergate guy

00:27:57.300 to go on CNN

00:27:58.520 and say,

00:27:59.160 it's worse than Watergate.

00:28:01.660 I guess we won't see him.

00:28:07.220 Now,

00:28:08.180 what about the fact

00:28:09.020 that the Trump White House

00:28:10.440 did it too?

00:28:12.920 Now,

00:28:13.400 I'm concerned

00:28:14.500 because when

00:28:15.920 Matt Taibbi said,

00:28:17.380 he said it clearly

00:28:18.080 so that we all know this,

00:28:19.860 this was not

00:28:20.760 just the Biden campaign.

00:28:23.460 This was not just Democrats.

00:28:25.620 This was,

00:28:26.520 the Trump administration

00:28:27.340 also asked Twitter

00:28:28.760 to suppress some things.

00:28:31.180 But without examples,

00:28:33.880 how do we know

00:28:34.780 if that's the same

00:28:35.500 or something different?

00:28:37.220 Do you have

00:28:38.200 a general problem

00:28:39.400 with your government

00:28:40.480 flagging things

00:28:41.940 that should be banned?

00:28:44.540 Do you think

00:28:44.940 that's a problem?

00:28:47.900 I don't think

00:28:48.880 it's a problem

00:28:49.440 if it's users

00:28:50.520 of Twitter doing it.

00:28:52.500 So if there's

00:28:53.520 a government employee

00:28:54.420 who uses Twitter

00:28:55.380 and they're also a user,

00:28:57.500 I believe that

00:28:58.300 they could ask Twitter

00:28:59.320 to do things as users

00:29:00.660 because they're citizens.

00:29:03.220 So if any user,

00:29:05.200 whether it's the government

00:29:05.960 or somebody else,

00:29:06.720 goes to Twitter

00:29:07.780 and says,

00:29:08.260 here's an account

00:29:08.980 that's promoting hate

00:29:11.140 or violence,

00:29:12.440 let's say,

00:29:13.740 anybody can do that,

00:29:14.720 right?

00:29:15.440 There's no,

00:29:16.280 there's no,

00:29:18.120 nobody's stopping you

00:29:19.260 from accessing Twitter

00:29:20.700 and reporting something.

00:29:22.500 Now the government,

00:29:23.980 because they have,

00:29:24.780 you know,

00:29:25.120 connections,

00:29:26.100 they might be able

00:29:26.880 to reach an actual

00:29:27.620 individual at Twitter

00:29:28.640 and make an individual

00:29:30.080 complaint.

00:29:30.680 but I did that.

00:29:33.120 I reached,

00:29:33.840 like,

00:29:34.220 real humans

00:29:34.760 at Twitter

00:29:35.200 and had real complaints

00:29:37.460 and,

00:29:38.460 you know,

00:29:38.620 they addressed it.

00:29:39.540 I believe every citizen

00:29:40.720 has access to Twitter,

00:29:41.840 right?

00:29:42.460 So if the Trump administration

00:29:46.080 asked Twitter

00:29:46.680 to do something,

00:29:47.800 all that really matters

00:29:49.040 is what did they

00:29:49.780 ask them to do.

00:29:51.740 The problem is not

00:29:52.900 that they asked.

00:29:54.260 I'm totally okay

00:29:55.300 with the asking.

00:29:56.920 It's what did they ask.

00:29:59.320 If you're asking

00:30:00.320 to get rid of James Woods,

00:30:01.980 James,

00:30:02.740 is it Wood or Woods?

00:30:03.860 If you're asking

00:30:04.460 to get rid of somebody

00:30:05.280 because they're

00:30:05.920 politically inconvenient,

00:30:08.160 bad.

00:30:09.020 Very bad.

00:30:10.420 If you're asking

00:30:11.020 to get rid of somebody

00:30:12.080 because they violated

00:30:13.400 Twitter's terms of service

00:30:14.940 but Twitter might not

00:30:16.400 be aware of it,

00:30:18.040 good.

00:30:18.640 That's good.

00:30:20.020 Right?

00:30:20.380 If you're telling Twitter

00:30:21.580 to suppress the news,

00:30:24.680 that's bad.

00:30:26.840 That's very bad.

00:30:28.420 But you get

00:30:29.060 that the story

00:30:29.720 is not who asked

00:30:30.760 or that they asked.

00:30:32.480 Right?

00:30:32.560 Do you all get

00:30:33.920 that everybody

00:30:35.080 can ask Twitter

00:30:35.840 to do anything

00:30:36.420 they want,

00:30:37.860 including the government?

00:30:39.140 Because I agree

00:30:39.860 with Ted Lieu's

00:30:41.180 basic comment

00:30:42.180 that asking Twitter

00:30:43.880 to do something

00:30:44.540 isn't by itself

00:30:45.580 a problem.

00:30:46.800 It's what you

00:30:47.760 ask them to do.

00:30:49.200 If you ask them

00:30:50.040 to suppress

00:30:50.640 the most important

00:30:51.460 story of the country,

00:30:52.820 fuck you. 0.97

00:30:54.640 If you ask them

00:30:55.780 to look at an account

00:30:56.700 that violated

00:30:57.420 Twitter's own

00:30:58.540 terms of service,

00:31:00.900 fair enough.

00:31:01.500 I mean,

00:31:02.880 I've done that

00:31:03.760 myself.

00:31:05.100 Right?

00:31:05.720 So,

00:31:06.440 I'm going to

00:31:07.240 criticize Matt Taibbi

00:31:08.580 for not telling us

00:31:09.720 a little bit more

00:31:10.500 about what the

00:31:11.720 Trump administration

00:31:12.380 did,

00:31:13.120 because it leaves us

00:31:14.220 to speculate,

00:31:15.020 and that's not good.

00:31:16.220 We should not be

00:31:17.160 speculating

00:31:17.780 now.

00:31:19.840 Right?

00:31:20.780 This is when

00:31:21.980 they should just

00:31:22.440 tell us what is true.

00:31:23.880 No more speculating.

00:31:26.960 Maybe we'll find

00:31:27.900 that out soon.

00:31:28.560 I suspect we will,

00:31:30.040 actually.

00:31:32.380 I was fascinated

00:31:33.420 to see that the

00:31:34.340 narrative within

00:31:35.260 Twitter was so

00:31:36.540 similar to what

00:31:37.400 the media outside

00:31:38.580 of Twitter was

00:31:39.120 saying.

00:31:40.520 So,

00:31:40.900 the media within

00:31:41.640 Twitter,

00:31:42.060 they're saying,

00:31:42.480 well,

00:31:42.720 we can't know if

00:31:43.560 it isn't hacked,

00:31:44.440 and we don't want

00:31:44.940 to run hacked

00:31:45.460 materials.

00:31:46.780 And outside of

00:31:47.600 Twitter,

00:31:48.000 they were saying,

00:31:48.380 well,

00:31:48.680 it's not confirmed.

00:31:50.420 It's not confirmed.

00:31:51.620 And,

00:31:51.860 of course,

00:31:52.000 they were trying

00:31:52.540 as hard as they

00:31:53.100 could to not

00:31:53.680 confirm it.

00:31:54.240 So,

00:31:56.300 I think it's

00:31:57.660 clear that the

00:31:58.640 Democrats and

00:31:59.560 Twitter colluded.

00:32:02.360 Illegally?

00:32:03.000 I don't know.

00:32:04.040 I don't know if

00:32:04.780 it was illegal.

00:32:06.160 But it's clear

00:32:07.480 that it happened.

00:32:13.580 And there's no

00:32:14.400 doubt about it,

00:32:14.980 right?

00:32:15.260 I don't think

00:32:15.860 anybody's questioning

00:32:16.680 that it happened.

00:32:19.420 Now,

00:32:20.040 the GOP,

00:32:21.180 Congress,

00:32:21.760 the new

00:32:22.120 incoming

00:32:22.580 majority there

00:32:24.320 in the House,

00:32:25.700 wants to

00:32:26.300 investigate the

00:32:27.280 Hunter Laptop

00:32:27.920 stuff,

00:32:28.300 and there was

00:32:28.580 a survey.

00:32:30.880 And if

00:32:32.760 you're new

00:32:33.120 to this

00:32:33.460 live stream,

00:32:34.580 some of you

00:32:35.400 are probably

00:32:35.720 new to the

00:32:36.140 live stream,

00:32:36.540 I'm going to

00:32:36.840 do a demonstration

00:32:37.700 to show you

00:32:39.280 that the

00:32:39.780 viewers of

00:32:40.300 this live

00:32:40.780 stream,

00:32:41.140 on average,

00:32:42.040 are way

00:32:42.580 smarter than

00:32:44.140 other people.

00:32:44.800 Now,

00:32:44.960 watch this.

00:32:45.400 This is

00:32:45.700 without any

00:32:46.260 prompting.

00:32:47.180 This is

00:32:47.460 without any

00:32:47.960 prompting.

00:32:50.760 How many

00:32:51.500 people do you

00:32:52.140 think answered

00:32:52.660 the poll,

00:32:54.020 roughly,

00:32:54.800 you know,

00:32:55.000 let's say,

00:32:55.460 see if you

00:32:55.980 can get it

00:32:56.300 within,

00:32:56.680 let's say,

00:32:57.320 two points.

00:32:59.640 What percentage

00:33:00.500 of the public

00:33:00.980 thinks strongly

00:33:02.720 disagrees with

00:33:04.800 Congress looking

00:33:05.640 into the

00:33:06.020 Hunter Laptop

00:33:06.720 story?

00:33:09.260 It's 23%.

00:33:10.700 Now,

00:33:12.580 are you

00:33:13.440 amazed?

00:33:14.740 This is how

00:33:15.420 smart my

00:33:15.920 audience is.

00:33:17.440 That almost

00:33:18.220 every one of you

00:33:18.940 guessed within

00:33:19.640 just two points.

00:33:20.640 like you

00:33:21.780 were all,

00:33:22.680 you were

00:33:23.260 right on

00:33:23.720 that.

00:33:24.420 Wow.

00:33:25.500 I applaud

00:33:26.160 you.

00:33:28.700 I don't

00:33:29.340 think the

00:33:29.720 word genius

00:33:30.280 is overused

00:33:32.400 in this case.

00:33:34.120 You are

00:33:34.720 all geniuses.

00:33:37.640 All right.

00:33:39.760 Now,

00:33:40.280 Biden,

00:33:40.860 Joe Biden,

00:33:41.600 ran on,

00:33:42.860 correct me

00:33:43.380 if I'm

00:33:43.640 wrong,

00:33:43.940 I'll take a

00:33:44.360 fact check

00:33:44.780 on this.

00:33:46.540 Now,

00:33:47.060 the Democrats

00:33:47.480 have policies

00:33:48.560 that they

00:33:49.020 promote that

00:33:49.720 are different

00:33:50.040 than the

00:33:50.460 Republicans.

00:33:51.480 But on

00:33:51.760 top of

00:33:52.120 that,

00:33:52.960 Biden was

00:33:53.560 primarily

00:33:54.180 running,

00:33:55.000 not on

00:33:55.480 policy.

00:33:56.520 Would you

00:33:56.880 agree?

00:33:58.140 Biden said

00:33:58.920 he was

00:33:59.200 running to

00:33:59.660 get rid

00:33:59.980 of a

00:34:00.240 liar and

00:34:02.020 somebody

00:34:02.480 who did

00:34:05.260 the fine

00:34:05.700 people

00:34:06.060 statement,

00:34:07.360 which was

00:34:07.820 a hoax.

00:34:08.940 So now

00:34:09.460 we know

00:34:09.860 for sure

00:34:10.380 that Biden's

00:34:11.400 primary

00:34:12.080 campaign

00:34:12.700 promise

00:34:13.220 that he

00:34:14.320 would be

00:34:14.600 the honest

00:34:15.220 one and

00:34:16.080 he lied

00:34:16.480 about the

00:34:16.860 biggest

00:34:17.100 thing in

00:34:18.080 the news.

00:34:19.560 So we

00:34:20.020 didn't get

00:34:20.300 that.

00:34:21.380 And then

00:34:23.020 he was

00:34:23.300 going to

00:34:24.060 bring us

00:34:24.640 a president

00:34:25.120 that would

00:34:26.140 prevent us

00:34:26.900 from having

00:34:27.420 the fine

00:34:27.860 people hoax

00:34:29.180 happening

00:34:29.540 again.

00:34:30.680 But the

00:34:31.220 fine people

00:34:31.760 hoax was

00:34:32.380 the hoax.

00:34:33.360 It didn't

00:34:33.960 ever happen.

00:34:35.160 It never

00:34:35.580 happened even

00:34:36.120 once.

00:34:37.320 So he ran

00:34:38.100 for president

00:34:38.660 successfully

00:34:39.480 by being

00:34:40.780 the biggest

00:34:41.320 liar and

00:34:42.760 promising he

00:34:43.480 wouldn't be

00:34:43.820 a liar. 0.91

00:34:44.180 and on

00:34:47.920 the biggest

00:34:48.400 hoax the

00:34:48.960 country has

00:34:49.440 ever fallen

00:34:49.980 for,

00:34:50.880 the hoax

00:34:51.940 was supported

00:34:53.460 by the

00:34:53.800 same media

00:34:54.480 and he

00:34:56.240 got elected.

00:34:57.400 Now how

00:34:57.820 would you

00:34:58.080 feel about

00:34:58.560 that if

00:34:59.200 you were

00:34:59.440 a Democrat

00:34:59.920 and you

00:35:00.860 knew that

00:35:01.220 the main

00:35:01.760 two things

00:35:02.320 he promised

00:35:02.820 you character

00:35:03.500 wise were

00:35:04.160 complete

00:35:04.740 bullshit,

00:35:05.980 total bullshit?

00:35:07.600 How would

00:35:08.120 you feel

00:35:08.400 about it?

00:35:09.520 Probably

00:35:10.000 pretty good

00:35:10.520 because you

00:35:11.020 got a

00:35:11.280 Democrat

00:35:11.560 in office.

00:35:12.040 and the

00:35:14.860 guy pretending

00:35:15.420 to be Rob

00:35:15.980 Reiner over

00:35:17.040 here says

00:35:17.480 he feels

00:35:17.820 great.

00:35:19.720 I guess

00:35:20.320 you feel

00:35:20.540 great.

00:35:22.300 I have

00:35:23.000 an observation

00:35:24.400 and some

00:35:24.980 pattern

00:35:25.240 recognition

00:35:25.800 which is

00:35:26.860 a little

00:35:27.120 incomplete.

00:35:28.340 Let's see

00:35:28.640 if you can

00:35:28.960 fill in the

00:35:29.400 blanks for

00:35:29.820 me.

00:35:31.560 Does it

00:35:31.940 seem to

00:35:32.320 you that

00:35:32.720 lately

00:35:34.120 Democrats

00:35:35.400 and Republicans

00:35:36.300 they both

00:35:37.080 lie but

00:35:38.520 does it

00:35:38.880 seem they

00:35:39.220 lie differently?

00:35:41.220 Have you

00:35:41.440 noticed

00:35:41.680 there's a

00:35:42.020 quality

00:35:42.480 difference

00:35:43.000 to the

00:35:43.380 types

00:35:43.640 of lies?

00:35:45.320 So

00:35:45.400 there are

00:35:46.160 all kinds

00:35:46.600 of lies.

00:35:47.920 Which

00:35:48.120 side

00:35:48.660 leaves out

00:35:50.160 information

00:35:50.820 that would

00:35:51.780 change the

00:35:52.280 context?

00:35:52.780 Which side

00:35:53.180 does that?

00:35:54.680 Both.

00:35:55.760 Both,

00:35:56.220 right?

00:35:56.760 Every politician

00:35:57.540 leaves out

00:36:00.180 inconvenient

00:36:00.840 stuff.

00:36:01.800 So that's

00:36:02.080 one kind

00:36:02.480 of lying.

00:36:03.340 Both of

00:36:03.800 them do

00:36:04.060 that.

00:36:05.180 How about

00:36:05.820 hyperbole?

00:36:09.500 Hyperbole

00:36:10.020 where you're

00:36:10.540 taking something

00:36:11.020 that's

00:36:11.240 true-ish

00:36:11.800 but you're

00:36:12.180 stretching

00:36:12.600 it.

00:36:13.820 They both

00:36:14.220 do that.

00:36:15.360 They both

00:36:15.740 do that.

00:36:16.540 Trump did

00:36:17.000 plenty of

00:36:17.460 it.

00:36:18.420 And

00:36:18.780 Republicans

00:36:19.360 do it

00:36:19.840 when they're

00:36:20.280 blaming

00:36:20.840 January 6th

00:36:22.400 and extremists

00:36:23.780 and stuff.

00:36:24.240 They just

00:36:24.740 exaggerate.

00:36:27.140 So they all

00:36:28.180 exaggerate

00:36:28.780 and they all

00:36:29.160 leave out

00:36:29.460 context.

00:36:30.760 We're kind

00:36:31.160 of used

00:36:31.440 to that,

00:36:31.880 right?

00:36:32.420 Unfortunately

00:36:32.900 we're used

00:36:33.400 to it

00:36:33.640 from both

00:36:34.000 sides.

00:36:34.320 But how

00:36:37.480 about

00:36:37.800 imagining

00:36:38.840 things that

00:36:39.660 didn't

00:36:39.980 happen?

00:36:41.820 Which side

00:36:42.440 is more

00:36:42.840 likely to

00:36:43.460 imagine

00:36:43.960 something

00:36:44.500 that didn't

00:36:46.020 happen?

00:36:49.200 No,

00:36:49.840 it's

00:36:49.980 Republicans.

00:36:52.000 Everybody's

00:36:52.640 saying Democrats

00:36:53.380 because you're

00:36:54.180 all primed.

00:36:55.600 No,

00:36:55.760 it's

00:36:55.840 Republicans.

00:36:57.060 Republicans

00:36:57.580 believe more

00:36:58.180 conspiracy

00:36:58.660 theories.

00:36:59.860 Republicans

00:37:00.320 are going

00:37:00.720 to believe

00:37:01.140 Q.

00:37:02.440 They're going

00:37:02.940 to believe

00:37:03.160 more conspiracy

00:37:03.840 theories.

00:37:04.920 Absolutely.

00:37:06.180 Now,

00:37:06.520 January 6th

00:37:08.240 is definitely

00:37:09.800 an example

00:37:10.400 of some

00:37:11.740 bullshit.

00:37:12.900 But that's

00:37:14.680 more in the

00:37:15.320 exaggeration

00:37:16.100 category.

00:37:17.500 January 6th

00:37:18.320 was an

00:37:18.780 exaggeration.

00:37:19.660 Not something

00:37:20.160 just completely

00:37:20.900 made up.

00:37:21.720 Just weirdly,

00:37:23.400 extremely

00:37:23.920 exaggerated.

00:37:26.520 Well,

00:37:26.800 I think,

00:37:27.500 so again,

00:37:28.380 I'm doing a

00:37:28.960 fact check

00:37:29.480 because I

00:37:30.040 haven't done

00:37:30.360 any science.

00:37:31.140 It seems

00:37:31.620 to me,

00:37:32.080 because I'm

00:37:33.620 not a

00:37:33.960 Republican,

00:37:34.840 so I

00:37:35.440 get that

00:37:35.880 little bit

00:37:36.800 of lack

00:37:38.240 of bias

00:37:38.740 from not

00:37:39.140 being on

00:37:39.480 a team.

00:37:40.500 It seems

00:37:41.080 to me

00:37:41.560 Republicans

00:37:42.560 will imagine

00:37:43.480 things that

00:37:44.000 didn't happen.

00:37:45.040 But now

00:37:45.340 here's the

00:37:45.700 part you're

00:37:46.120 going to

00:37:46.280 agree with.

00:37:47.320 Which

00:37:47.640 side

00:37:48.180 makes up

00:37:49.460 facts that

00:37:50.680 literally

00:37:51.000 didn't happen

00:37:51.520 at all?

00:37:52.600 Just a

00:37:53.380 complete

00:37:53.880 made-out-of-nothing

00:37:55.360 fact.

00:37:56.500 Which side

00:37:56.860 does that?

00:37:57.840 Democrats,

00:37:58.520 yeah.

00:37:59.020 The Russia 0.88

00:37:59.700 collusion was

00:38:00.940 just completely

00:38:01.520 made-up.

00:38:03.360 The Russian

00:38:04.740 disinformation

00:38:05.620 hoax,

00:38:07.340 completely

00:38:07.820 made-up.

00:38:09.700 The Trump

00:38:11.280 wants you

00:38:11.720 to drink

00:38:12.160 bleach

00:38:12.600 hoax,

00:38:13.680 well,

00:38:13.980 it was

00:38:14.160 based on

00:38:14.600 an event,

00:38:15.400 but the

00:38:15.640 event is

00:38:16.120 not an

00:38:16.500 exaggeration

00:38:17.140 from the

00:38:17.520 event.

00:38:17.960 It's

00:38:18.200 completely

00:38:18.600 made-up.

00:38:19.700 Because the

00:38:20.300 event was

00:38:20.720 about light

00:38:21.260 and they

00:38:21.620 changed it

00:38:22.020 into bleach.

00:38:23.700 That's not

00:38:24.320 an exaggeration.

00:38:25.780 That's

00:38:26.260 completely

00:38:26.700 made-up.

00:38:27.280 The fine

00:38:29.240 people

00:38:29.580 hoax,

00:38:30.380 is that

00:38:30.940 an

00:38:31.140 exaggeration?

00:38:32.960 No,

00:38:33.200 it's

00:38:33.320 completely

00:38:33.720 made-up.

00:38:34.580 Because he

00:38:34.940 literally

00:38:35.380 said who

00:38:36.140 he was

00:38:36.420 talking

00:38:36.680 about

00:38:36.960 and who

00:38:37.180 he

00:38:37.300 wasn't.

00:38:38.180 Now,

00:38:38.420 you could

00:38:38.640 disagree

00:38:39.020 with

00:38:39.460 whether or

00:38:40.620 not those

00:38:41.040 people were

00:38:41.460 there,

00:38:41.860 but that

00:38:42.100 was never

00:38:42.400 the question.

00:38:43.540 The question

00:38:43.980 was not

00:38:44.460 whether Trump

00:38:45.080 was right

00:38:45.840 that some

00:38:47.000 fine people

00:38:47.620 attended.

00:38:48.480 He defined

00:38:49.120 his terms.

00:38:49.720 He said,

00:38:49.980 I believe

00:38:50.280 there were.

00:38:51.660 That's the

00:38:52.000 end of it.

00:38:52.660 So that

00:38:52.960 was a

00:38:53.220 completely

00:38:53.560 made-up

00:38:54.200 hoax.

00:38:54.540 Somebody

00:38:55.540 saying

00:38:56.700 16,

00:38:57.240 19

00:38:57.500 was

00:38:57.800 made-up,

00:38:58.320 some

00:38:58.480 parts

00:38:58.740 of

00:38:58.880 it.

00:39:00.260 Now,

00:39:00.760 let me

00:39:01.140 ask you

00:39:01.440 this.

00:39:01.920 What kind

00:39:02.600 of a

00:39:02.900 person,

00:39:03.360 if it

00:39:03.680 were a

00:39:03.940 person

00:39:04.220 instead

00:39:04.560 of a

00:39:04.880 party,

00:39:05.920 what kind

00:39:06.500 of person

00:39:07.020 makes up

00:39:07.660 a lie

00:39:08.120 where you're

00:39:09.300 adding

00:39:10.300 entirely

00:39:11.100 new things

00:39:12.440 that didn't

00:39:12.820 exist?

00:39:14.540 Because remember,

00:39:15.340 Q wasn't 0.63

00:39:15.960 a lie,

00:39:16.660 it was

00:39:16.940 something that

00:39:17.420 people believed.

00:39:18.700 Well,

00:39:19.060 it was a

00:39:19.440 lie,

00:39:19.680 yeah,

00:39:20.060 but it

00:39:20.500 wasn't coming

00:39:20.960 from the

00:39:21.460 Republicans,

00:39:22.120 it was

00:39:22.280 coming from

00:39:22.720 Q.

00:39:24.540 Narcissists.

00:39:28.440 Narcissists.

00:39:29.600 Narcissists do

00:39:30.340 gaslighting.

00:39:32.040 Gaslighting is

00:39:32.820 not just an

00:39:33.420 ordinary lie.

00:39:35.320 Gaslighting is

00:39:36.060 like a

00:39:37.020 big lie,

00:39:37.940 where you're

00:39:38.380 adding things

00:39:39.160 that didn't

00:39:39.540 exist,

00:39:40.800 like whole

00:39:41.240 characters that

00:39:42.160 weren't in the

00:39:42.620 play,

00:39:43.440 like you're

00:39:43.920 introducing a

00:39:44.640 character that

00:39:45.180 wasn't even

00:39:45.560 there.

00:39:46.920 That's the

00:39:47.680 gaslighting,

00:39:48.280 that's the

00:39:48.600 narcissist.

00:39:49.680 So it

00:39:50.040 seems to

00:39:50.400 me that

00:39:50.820 the Democrats

00:39:51.760 have become

00:39:52.300 a female 0.98

00:39:53.080 narcissist,

00:39:54.540 the Republicans

00:39:55.520 have become

00:39:56.180 a,

00:39:56.600 I don't

00:39:58.420 know,

00:39:59.120 a fireman

00:40:00.780 or something,

00:40:01.520 a cop.

00:40:03.760 It just

00:40:04.400 feels like

00:40:04.760 some male

00:40:05.980 vibe on

00:40:07.200 one side,

00:40:08.240 and the

00:40:08.400 other side

00:40:08.720 is a

00:40:08.920 female vibe.

00:40:10.000 They both

00:40:10.400 have their

00:40:10.720 character flaws,

00:40:11.580 but they're

00:40:11.780 different ones.

00:40:13.220 An abused

00:40:13.800 spouse.

00:40:14.440 Oh,

00:40:14.940 Republicans are

00:40:18.800 an abused

00:40:19.420 spouse.

00:40:20.100 Oh,

00:40:23.600 that's

00:40:23.820 interesting.

00:40:25.540 All right.

00:40:31.200 So the

00:40:32.740 most interesting

00:40:33.460 thing about

00:40:34.060 this Twitter

00:40:34.580 takeover is

00:40:36.100 that,

00:40:36.480 in my

00:40:36.740 opinion,

00:40:38.020 the Democrats

00:40:38.640 can no

00:40:39.220 longer do

00:40:39.720 gaslighting.

00:40:41.100 They have

00:40:41.740 to change

00:40:42.180 the way

00:40:42.480 they lie.

00:40:43.700 Because I

00:40:44.400 think Twitter

00:40:44.980 would penetrate

00:40:46.920 any lies that

00:40:48.540 were just

00:40:48.820 made-up

00:40:49.500 shit.

00:40:50.100 Right?

00:40:51.840 Because the

00:40:52.380 Twitter would

00:40:52.860 call it

00:40:53.220 out.

00:40:54.040 But if you

00:40:55.000 controlled

00:40:55.440 Twitter,

00:40:56.360 you could

00:40:56.800 just make

00:40:57.280 up stuff,

00:40:57.960 and nobody

00:40:58.360 would call

00:40:58.740 you out.

00:40:59.800 Or at least

00:41:00.200 nobody would

00:41:00.640 see it.

00:41:02.040 So what

00:41:02.800 happens if

00:41:03.300 the Democrats

00:41:03.880 gaslighting

00:41:04.680 engine is

00:41:05.300 gone?

00:41:05.820 Because I

00:41:06.180 think it

00:41:06.420 is.

00:41:07.060 I think

00:41:07.580 it's their

00:41:07.900 gaslighting

00:41:08.420 engine.

00:41:11.060 So we'll

00:41:12.200 see how

00:41:12.500 they do.

00:41:16.400 All right,

00:41:17.000 let me ask

00:41:17.420 you this

00:41:17.660 question.

00:41:18.140 Now that

00:41:18.540 you know

00:41:19.100 that

00:41:19.960 everything

00:41:20.380 you

00:41:20.680 suspected

00:41:21.260 about

00:41:21.700 Twitter

00:41:22.200 suppressing

00:41:22.860 the news

00:41:23.500 was 100%

00:41:25.100 true,

00:41:27.440 what do

00:41:28.200 you think

00:41:28.560 you'll find

00:41:29.060 out if

00:41:29.500 the Republicans

00:41:30.680 investigate

00:41:31.440 the laptop?

00:41:33.640 Will they

00:41:34.160 find out that

00:41:34.780 everything you

00:41:35.440 suspected about

00:41:36.180 Hunter Biden

00:41:36.880 and the

00:41:37.380 laptop and

00:41:39.360 his foreign

00:41:39.840 dealings was

00:41:41.100 true?

00:41:41.400 How many of you

00:41:43.520 think it's going

00:41:43.980 to be exactly

00:41:44.580 what you thought

00:41:45.220 it was?

00:41:45.960 Like no surprises

00:41:46.900 at all.

00:41:48.860 I think we

00:41:49.720 all do.

00:41:51.120 Well, a few

00:41:51.600 of you said

00:41:52.000 no.

00:41:52.900 Could be

00:41:53.300 some surprises.

00:41:54.860 My best

00:41:55.640 guess is that

00:41:56.480 it is exactly

00:41:57.380 what it looks

00:41:57.960 like.

00:41:58.680 Now that

00:41:59.100 doesn't mean

00:41:59.480 anybody's going

00:42:00.060 to jail.

00:42:01.480 I'm not sure

00:42:02.140 there's a crime

00:42:02.740 there.

00:42:04.080 But it is

00:42:04.700 exactly what

00:42:05.300 it looks

00:42:05.600 like.

00:42:06.500 It's, you

00:42:07.060 know,

00:42:07.180 influence for

00:42:07.820 money.

00:42:08.220 There's no

00:42:08.520 doubt about

00:42:08.860 that.

00:42:09.680 Now I

00:42:10.040 don't know

00:42:10.360 if you

00:42:10.580 will ever

00:42:10.880 get to

00:42:11.160 the point

00:42:11.520 where you

00:42:11.920 could show

00:42:12.320 that Joe

00:42:13.300 Biden is

00:42:13.900 beholden to

00:42:14.820 Ukraine or

00:42:15.520 something like

00:42:15.980 that.

00:42:16.320 That's a

00:42:16.600 whole different

00:42:16.960 level.

00:42:17.880 But I

00:42:18.240 think we'll

00:42:18.700 definitely

00:42:19.080 find out

00:42:19.780 that everything

00:42:20.900 you thought

00:42:21.340 about trading

00:42:21.900 influence for

00:42:22.560 money was

00:42:23.080 exactly what

00:42:23.760 you thought.

00:42:24.500 Exactly what

00:42:25.140 you thought.

00:42:26.380 And probably

00:42:27.080 nothing will

00:42:27.520 happen from

00:42:27.960 it.

00:42:30.280 All right.

00:42:34.040 Ladies and 0.98

00:42:34.740 gentlemen,

00:42:36.300 yesterday was

00:42:37.560 probably one of

00:42:38.860 the most amazing

00:42:39.900 days of news

00:42:41.500 and revelation.

00:42:42.800 But you know

00:42:43.640 it's going to be

00:42:44.180 completely killed

00:42:44.980 by the

00:42:45.300 mainstream

00:42:45.620 media,

00:42:46.100 right?

00:42:47.140 It'll just

00:42:47.540 be completely

00:42:48.440 ignored.

00:42:50.200 It's already

00:42:50.880 happening.

00:42:51.520 And I think

00:42:52.140 that they can

00:42:52.600 get away with

00:42:53.120 it.

00:42:54.340 It would be

00:42:54.940 real interesting

00:42:55.620 to wait a

00:42:56.240 month and

00:42:56.760 then ask a

00:42:57.620 Democrat on

00:42:58.980 the street

00:42:59.520 what they know

00:43:00.740 about this

00:43:01.220 story.

00:43:02.960 Wouldn't that

00:43:03.380 be interesting?

00:43:04.400 Just wait a

00:43:05.200 month and

00:43:06.640 ask Republicans

00:43:08.280 what they know

00:43:09.020 about the

00:43:09.420 story, just

00:43:09.880 some basic

00:43:10.360 facts, and

00:43:11.460 then ask

00:43:11.860 Democrats what

00:43:12.540 they know

00:43:12.880 about the

00:43:13.240 story.

00:43:13.520 They will

00:43:14.560 not look

00:43:15.000 the same.

00:43:16.760 But that's

00:43:17.980 why I think

00:43:18.500 Democrats had

00:43:19.160 to get off

00:43:19.580 of Twitter,

00:43:20.440 because they

00:43:21.940 didn't want to

00:43:22.360 see the

00:43:22.700 reality.

00:43:24.380 You know,

00:43:24.620 there's definitely

00:43:25.260 something to

00:43:26.120 wanting to

00:43:27.340 remain in

00:43:27.920 your illusion,

00:43:29.260 because I've

00:43:30.060 done it myself.

00:43:30.920 I'm doing it

00:43:31.460 right now.

00:43:32.500 I'm completely

00:43:33.400 aware that I've

00:43:35.060 built an illusion

00:43:35.860 around myself,

00:43:36.700 and I live

00:43:38.700 in it

00:43:38.940 willingly.

00:43:42.240 All right.

00:43:43.580 Was there

00:43:44.100 any other

00:43:44.660 story that

00:43:45.280 mattered?

00:43:48.420 How true

00:43:49.880 do you think

00:43:50.340 it is that

00:43:50.880 Putin fell

00:43:53.640 down the

00:43:53.980 stairs and

00:43:54.400 shit himself

00:43:54.880 and he has

00:43:55.240 cancer and

00:43:55.740 Parkinson's?

00:43:56.880 How true

00:43:57.360 do you think

00:43:57.740 that is?

00:43:58.620 That sounds

00:43:59.140 like Ukrainian 0.99

00:44:01.740 misinformation to

00:44:02.760 me.

00:44:02.920 Yeah, I'd

00:44:05.140 give it 20%,

00:44:05.980 20% chance,

00:44:07.320 something like

00:44:07.760 that.

00:44:09.320 Now, but

00:44:09.880 here's another

00:44:10.320 possibility.

00:44:11.680 The other

00:44:12.060 possibility is

00:44:12.920 that our

00:44:13.400 intel already

00:44:14.540 knew how

00:44:15.060 bad Putin

00:44:15.900 was.

00:44:17.420 One of the

00:44:18.120 explanations for

00:44:19.000 why we're

00:44:19.460 pushing Putin

00:44:20.200 as hard as

00:44:20.680 we are is

00:44:21.820 that he might

00:44:22.340 not be at

00:44:22.860 full power.

00:44:24.360 Like, it

00:44:24.640 could be that

00:44:25.220 the Biden

00:44:25.600 administration

00:44:26.100 knows they're

00:44:27.080 dealing with

00:44:27.600 a weak in

00:44:28.560 Putin, and

00:44:29.460 this is the

00:44:30.000 time to push

00:44:30.920 him.

00:44:31.820 Could be.

00:44:32.220 And it

00:44:32.980 could be that

00:44:33.500 they'll turn

00:44:33.860 out to be

00:44:34.180 right.

00:44:35.520 Could be.

00:44:37.040 Yeah, poop

00:44:37.720 and Putin.

00:44:39.560 Yeah, when

00:44:40.260 poop and

00:44:40.640 Putin becomes

00:44:41.720 a thing,

00:44:42.520 that's tough.

00:44:48.420 Biden is

00:44:49.040 weak, too?

00:44:50.360 Well, Biden

00:44:51.200 might be weak,

00:44:52.020 but I feel

00:44:52.700 like there's

00:44:53.140 some kind of

00:44:53.600 a collective

00:44:54.420 running the

00:44:56.620 show that

00:44:57.040 might not

00:44:57.460 be weak.

00:44:59.020 We just

00:44:59.620 don't know

00:44:59.940 who it is.

00:45:00.360 Putin.

00:45:04.360 Oh, my

00:45:05.060 God.

00:45:06.040 Putin's name

00:45:06.680 actually starts

00:45:07.600 with Pooh.

00:45:10.200 Vladimir

00:45:10.720 Putin.

00:45:11.980 I think he

00:45:12.760 just became

00:45:13.300 Vladimir

00:45:13.760 Putin.

00:45:14.180 Putin.

00:45:19.940 You know,

00:45:22.220 I'm waiting

00:45:22.700 for the next

00:45:23.300 G20.

00:45:25.160 Let's say

00:45:25.800 Putin gets

00:45:26.740 invited to

00:45:28.080 another event.

00:45:28.980 somebody's

00:45:31.000 going to be

00:45:31.300 walking up a

00:45:31.920 set of stairs

00:45:32.420 right behind

00:45:32.980 them.

00:45:34.660 I'm like,

00:45:35.960 you better

00:45:36.220 put Justin

00:45:37.340 Trudeau behind

00:45:38.080 them, right?

00:45:39.320 That's what I

00:45:39.800 do.

00:45:40.000 If I were

00:45:40.520 Trump, I was

00:45:41.800 walking up the

00:45:42.360 stairs with the

00:45:42.940 other G20

00:45:43.540 people, and I

00:45:44.980 ended up behind

00:45:45.580 Vladimir Putin,

00:45:48.000 I'd reach around

00:45:48.880 and I'd grab

00:45:49.740 Justin Trudeau

00:45:51.520 and I'd put him

00:45:52.380 in front of me

00:45:52.880 as like a

00:45:53.260 shield.

00:45:54.440 He'd be my

00:45:54.920 Putin shield.

00:45:55.480 Did I see

00:45:58.760 Dr.

00:45:59.160 Drew's video

00:45:59.720 on foot-long

00:46:01.000 clots?

00:46:02.700 I saw it

00:46:03.520 existed, but

00:46:06.180 here's what I

00:46:07.580 never want to

00:46:08.280 see.

00:46:09.280 One doctor

00:46:10.180 telling you

00:46:10.800 what he saw.

00:46:13.560 So I don't

00:46:14.240 know if that's

00:46:14.680 what Dr.

00:46:15.440 Drew did, but

00:46:16.520 if he talked

00:46:17.440 to one doctor

00:46:18.160 who's making

00:46:19.060 some claims,

00:46:19.860 I don't have

00:46:20.340 any credibility

00:46:21.320 on that.

00:46:22.360 That would be

00:46:23.100 the lowest

00:46:23.560 level of

00:46:24.080 credibility.

00:46:25.480 If you had

00:46:26.040 two doctors

00:46:26.820 who had

00:46:27.860 different opinions

00:46:28.500 and looked at

00:46:29.300 the same data

00:46:30.120 and then you

00:46:31.260 had the bond

00:46:31.740 and they talked

00:46:32.280 it out, I

00:46:32.840 might come up

00:46:33.360 to an opinion.

00:46:34.300 But I'm never

00:46:34.860 going to form

00:46:35.320 an opinion

00:46:35.720 from one person

00:46:37.320 without the

00:46:38.100 other side.

00:46:40.060 Doesn't mean

00:46:40.620 he's wrong.

00:46:42.100 Doesn't mean

00:46:42.600 he's wrong.

00:46:43.660 I'm just never

00:46:44.280 going to form

00:46:44.780 an opinion on

00:46:45.380 that kind of

00:46:45.900 information.

00:46:47.000 But it

00:46:47.400 sounds interesting.

00:46:48.300 I'd like to

00:46:48.640 watch it.

00:46:51.380 You already

00:46:52.000 have a dozen

00:46:52.600 doctors saying

00:46:53.760 they've seen

00:46:54.440 clots.

00:46:55.480 So what's

00:46:55.840 that worth?

00:46:56.580 So now

00:46:56.880 let's say

00:46:57.480 there's a

00:46:57.880 dozen

00:46:58.120 doctors,

00:46:58.800 notable

00:46:59.140 doctors,

00:46:59.840 high visibility,

00:47:01.360 who are

00:47:01.860 saying the

00:47:02.260 same thing

00:47:02.680 about the

00:47:03.040 long clots.

00:47:04.880 And the

00:47:05.500 value of

00:47:06.000 that is

00:47:06.480 what?

00:47:07.580 Still

00:47:07.920 zero.

00:47:09.120 The credibility

00:47:10.000 of 12

00:47:11.220 notable

00:47:11.660 doctors making

00:47:12.480 the same

00:47:12.880 claim is

00:47:13.780 still zero.

00:47:15.180 You know

00:47:15.860 why, right?

00:47:17.660 Because it's

00:47:18.460 still zero

00:47:19.260 people on the

00:47:20.020 other side.

00:47:20.580 how about

00:47:22.000 if it's

00:47:22.320 a hundred?

00:47:23.480 A hundred

00:47:23.960 doctors.

00:47:25.020 They show

00:47:25.780 you their

00:47:26.080 work.

00:47:27.960 They make

00:47:28.660 their case.

00:47:29.300 It's all

00:47:29.580 very convincing.

00:47:31.880 There's a hundred

00:47:32.500 of them.

00:47:33.400 And there's

00:47:33.800 nobody you've

00:47:35.160 heard from on

00:47:35.760 the other

00:47:36.040 side.

00:47:36.900 So how

00:47:37.260 credible is

00:47:37.840 that?

00:47:38.760 Zero.

00:47:39.940 Zero.

00:47:41.500 You should

00:47:42.100 rank that as

00:47:43.120 zero.

00:47:43.900 Because you

00:47:44.220 haven't heard

00:47:44.560 the other

00:47:44.880 side.

00:47:45.180 You cannot

00:47:46.820 ignore the

00:47:49.560 single most

00:47:50.280 important rule

00:47:51.080 of decision

00:47:51.620 making.

00:47:52.900 Here are the

00:47:53.440 other side.

00:47:55.580 It's number

00:47:56.880 one.

00:47:57.420 There's nothing

00:47:57.900 that's more

00:47:58.260 important than

00:47:58.680 that.

00:47:59.700 So if you've

00:48:00.380 only heard of

00:48:00.760 one side,

00:48:01.360 that's all

00:48:01.700 you know.

00:48:02.700 That's all

00:48:03.260 you know is

00:48:03.980 that one

00:48:04.340 side said

00:48:04.800 it's true.

00:48:05.960 You don't

00:48:06.440 know what's

00:48:06.860 true.

00:48:10.020 In that

00:48:10.660 case, are

00:48:11.100 the Twitter

00:48:11.480 files not

00:48:12.240 credible?

00:48:14.020 Well, I'm

00:48:14.720 talking about

00:48:15.300 doctors

00:48:16.120 specifically,

00:48:17.300 but you

00:48:18.320 note that

00:48:18.780 nobody is

00:48:19.440 on the

00:48:20.640 other side

00:48:21.100 of the

00:48:21.500 Twitter

00:48:21.860 files.

00:48:23.760 There's

00:48:24.200 nobody, and

00:48:24.860 they could,

00:48:25.480 I mean,

00:48:25.720 there's plenty

00:48:26.100 of people

00:48:26.420 who know

00:48:26.700 the inside

00:48:27.140 story.

00:48:27.820 There's

00:48:28.080 nobody saying,

00:48:28.720 well, you

00:48:29.060 got that

00:48:29.440 wrong.

00:48:31.640 So I

00:48:32.160 would expect,

00:48:32.820 you do

00:48:33.100 expect

00:48:33.460 whistleblowers.

00:48:41.440 Fifty notable

00:48:42.300 people claimed

00:48:43.000 the Hunter

00:48:43.340 laptop was

00:48:44.060 likely

00:48:44.420 disinformation,

00:48:45.760 but we

00:48:46.340 also heard

00:48:46.900 from the

00:48:47.260 other

00:48:47.440 side.

00:48:48.640 By the

00:48:48.960 way, does

00:48:50.520 anybody

00:48:50.800 remember me

00:48:51.680 calling

00:48:52.120 bullshit on

00:48:52.940 the 50

00:48:53.760 intel people?

00:48:56.100 I don't

00:48:56.700 know if I

00:48:57.180 did.

00:48:57.860 Did I just

00:48:58.420 report that

00:48:59.360 they said

00:48:59.940 it, or

00:49:00.320 did I say

00:49:00.860 it's

00:49:01.080 obviously

00:49:01.420 bullshit?

00:49:03.140 Can you

00:49:03.740 remind me?

00:49:04.920 All right,

00:49:05.160 so on

00:49:05.480 locals, they're

00:49:06.020 saying that I

00:49:06.520 called bullshit

00:49:07.100 on day

00:49:07.740 one.

00:49:08.700 I did,

00:49:09.420 right?

00:49:11.560 Okay.

00:49:12.420 And I think

00:49:13.180 I probably said

00:49:13.780 it because it

00:49:14.340 was Brennan.

00:49:15.700 Brennan is

00:49:16.360 the one who

00:49:16.700 said it was

00:49:17.080 true, and

00:49:18.140 they literally

00:49:18.700 use him when

00:49:20.060 they need to

00:49:20.500 say something

00:49:21.000 that's not

00:49:21.460 true.

00:49:23.920 I think I

00:49:24.700 pointed out

00:49:25.160 there was 50

00:49:25.780 professional

00:49:26.340 liars,

00:49:27.120 probably.

00:49:30.120 Yeah.

00:49:31.260 Yeah, if

00:49:31.840 Clapper and

00:49:32.340 Brennan say

00:49:32.800 it's true, you

00:49:33.320 know it's not

00:49:33.820 true, because

00:49:34.500 they only bring

00:49:35.180 them out to

00:49:35.780 say things that

00:49:36.340 are not true.

00:49:36.940 That's their

00:49:37.280 purpose.

00:49:37.580 So, how's

00:49:41.220 my predicting

00:49:41.780 looking lately?

00:49:43.520 So, I

00:49:43.800 got, if I

00:49:46.560 got the

00:49:46.860 Intel guys

00:49:47.700 right, and

00:49:49.260 I guess that

00:49:49.980 Jack Dorsey

00:49:50.640 maybe didn't

00:49:51.540 know what was

00:49:52.000 happening below

00:49:52.500 the hood, and

00:49:53.640 of course, I

00:49:54.400 was with all

00:49:54.940 of you predicting

00:49:55.740 that the

00:49:56.920 laptop thing was

00:49:57.700 exactly what it

00:49:58.440 looked like.

00:49:59.380 So, pretty

00:49:59.740 good so far

00:50:00.280 on that,

00:50:00.760 anyway.

00:50:00.860 All right.

00:50:06.700 Pretty, pretty

00:50:07.400 good.

00:50:12.540 CNN did

00:50:13.420 cover it if

00:50:14.720 you click on

00:50:15.300 U.S.

00:50:15.720 News.

00:50:16.560 So, in

00:50:17.080 other words,

00:50:18.080 the CNN

00:50:18.700 page, let's

00:50:19.380 do the

00:50:19.700 app.

00:50:22.620 Yeah, I

00:50:23.760 do believe

00:50:24.320 that everything

00:50:24.780 will, all the

00:50:25.700 entities will

00:50:26.300 cover it.

00:50:27.460 I think that

00:50:28.000 they will cover

00:50:28.500 it differently,

00:50:29.260 and some

00:50:29.560 will hide

00:50:29.900 it.

00:50:30.860 All right.

00:50:33.580 So, here's

00:50:34.220 the CNN

00:50:35.240 homepage.

00:50:37.480 Starts with

00:50:38.120 soccer.

00:50:38.960 Okay, I

00:50:39.520 mean, that's

00:50:39.820 happening at

00:50:40.320 the moment.

00:50:41.800 Something about

00:50:42.460 Moscow.

00:50:43.440 Let's see.

00:50:46.380 See what's

00:50:47.180 happening in

00:50:47.680 Moscow.

00:50:48.600 FedEx

00:50:48.980 driver.

00:50:50.580 James Brown

00:50:51.260 mystery.

00:50:52.200 Something about

00:50:52.700 a virus.

00:50:56.760 Something about

00:50:57.640 Trump.

00:50:59.640 Something about

00:51:00.600 Trump's tax

00:51:01.280 returns.

00:51:03.020 Something about

00:51:03.660 Iran,

00:51:04.440 Venezuela,

00:51:05.540 Brazilian

00:51:05.920 football legend,

00:51:07.580 Biden

00:51:08.060 analysis.

00:51:10.880 How far do

00:51:11.660 I have to

00:51:12.020 go?

00:51:13.060 How far do I

00:51:13.900 have to go

00:51:14.280 before I get

00:51:14.840 the biggest

00:51:15.220 story in the

00:51:15.800 country?

00:51:19.480 And we

00:51:20.120 keep going,

00:51:20.980 rogue wave.

00:51:21.840 so on an

00:51:24.820 Arctic cruise,

00:51:25.800 there was a

00:51:26.200 rogue wave

00:51:26.840 that killed

00:51:27.280 an American

00:51:27.760 woman on 0.99

00:51:28.560 the ship.

00:51:30.180 I actually

00:51:30.560 did a

00:51:31.900 Arctic,

00:51:33.720 not

00:51:34.440 Antarctic.

00:51:36.060 Well,

00:51:38.440 proud boys

00:51:39.200 want D.C. 0.82

00:51:42.120 police

00:51:42.440 officers to

00:51:43.140 testify in

00:51:43.860 their defense

00:51:44.680 at that

00:51:45.680 coming trial.

00:51:47.060 The proud

00:51:47.420 boys want the 0.94

00:51:48.100 police to

00:51:48.880 testify in

00:51:49.640 their defense.

00:51:50.280 That could 0.68

00:51:52.000 be

00:51:52.120 interesting.

00:51:56.320 Man

00:51:56.840 fathers over

00:51:57.660 117

00:51:58.700 children.

00:52:00.960 Oh,

00:52:01.580 okay.

00:52:05.540 And the

00:52:06.200 guy who fell

00:52:06.700 off the

00:52:07.080 cruise ship

00:52:08.060 said he

00:52:08.960 battled some

00:52:09.600 sort of

00:52:10.000 creature to

00:52:10.600 survive while

00:52:11.360 stranded in

00:52:11.940 the ocean.

00:52:12.300 And New

00:52:14.680 York City is

00:52:15.220 hiring a

00:52:15.700 rat czar. 0.59

00:52:17.820 A rat

00:52:18.520 czar.

00:52:19.380 There's so

00:52:19.920 many rats in

00:52:20.620 New York

00:52:20.900 City that

00:52:21.940 they need a

00:52:22.440 rat czar. 0.59

00:52:24.140 Let me take

00:52:24.840 a moment to

00:52:25.760 give you some

00:52:26.300 valuable dad

00:52:28.240 advice.

00:52:30.980 Children,

00:52:32.500 and some of

00:52:33.500 you, you can

00:52:33.960 pass this along

00:52:34.680 to your

00:52:35.000 children,

00:52:36.040 because this

00:52:36.440 will be good.

00:52:37.560 Someday you

00:52:38.400 may be in a

00:52:39.560 place where you

00:52:40.360 have to decide

00:52:41.060 where to live.

00:52:42.880 You know, you

00:52:43.320 could decide to

00:52:44.000 live in a

00:52:44.520 city or in

00:52:45.400 the country or

00:52:46.160 any city.

00:52:47.360 When you're

00:52:48.000 making that

00:52:48.440 decision, I

00:52:49.300 would like to

00:52:49.720 add to your

00:52:50.280 criteria that

00:52:52.480 if the city

00:52:53.340 you're considering

00:52:54.040 moving to

00:52:54.920 has a rat

00:52:56.860 czar, cross

00:52:58.900 it off the

00:52:59.320 list.

00:53:00.500 That actually

00:53:01.320 should be the

00:53:01.820 first thing you

00:53:02.480 should look for.

00:53:03.400 I know people

00:53:03.920 look for good

00:53:04.480 schools and low

00:53:05.520 crime and a

00:53:06.320 good commute,

00:53:07.480 but I would

00:53:07.980 say rat

00:53:09.400 czar.

00:53:10.360 That needs to

00:53:11.160 be the first

00:53:11.840 part of the

00:53:12.280 checklist.

00:53:13.780 Huh.

00:53:14.720 Should I go

00:53:15.600 where I will

00:53:16.140 be overrun by

00:53:17.080 rats?

00:53:18.760 No.

00:53:20.040 I'm going to

00:53:20.480 say no to

00:53:20.940 that.

00:53:21.580 Do not go

00:53:22.260 where you will

00:53:22.920 certainly be

00:53:23.540 overrun with

00:53:25.000 rats.

00:53:27.500 Yeah, so

00:53:28.140 Baltimore is just 0.58

00:53:28.920 totally off the

00:53:29.540 list.

00:53:32.820 All right.

00:53:35.340 we need that

00:53:37.080 rat czar. 0.59

00:53:39.580 Did I hear

00:53:40.460 that Balenciaga

00:53:41.600 dropped its

00:53:42.420 lawsuit against

00:53:43.420 its designer?

00:53:47.540 So how

00:53:49.020 long has it

00:53:49.560 been since we

00:53:50.240 found out who

00:53:51.100 at Balenciaga

00:53:52.020 did that

00:53:53.920 pedo-related

00:53:55.180 visual stuff

00:53:57.160 and why?

00:53:58.980 are you telling

00:54:01.400 me we still

00:54:02.120 don't know why

00:54:03.060 and who

00:54:03.640 did it?

00:54:05.400 Here's another

00:54:06.200 dog not

00:54:06.740 barking.

00:54:08.140 The person

00:54:08.740 who got

00:54:09.180 fired at

00:54:10.180 Balenciaga.

00:54:12.520 Nobody?

00:54:14.120 Really?

00:54:15.180 Nobody got

00:54:15.920 fired?

00:54:17.380 Have you

00:54:17.760 heard of

00:54:18.020 anybody getting

00:54:18.540 fired?

00:54:21.180 Nobody.

00:54:21.780 Nobody.

00:54:21.920 You should

00:54:25.640 fire somebody

00:54:26.540 just for the

00:54:27.220 look of it.

00:54:29.740 What are we

00:54:30.380 looking at

00:54:30.700 here?

00:54:30.920 Is this a

00:54:31.300 new

00:54:31.620 OCNN?

00:54:36.340 It's our

00:54:36.640 job to go

00:54:37.240 there February

00:54:38.480 2007 and

00:54:41.480 tell the hard

00:54:42.040 stories.

00:54:42.480 Yes.

00:54:47.240 All right.

00:54:51.920 Anything else

00:54:54.580 going on?

00:54:57.220 I think

00:54:57.920 we're good.

00:54:59.220 Trump was

00:54:59.680 right about

00:55:00.080 everything.

00:55:08.100 Kim Kardashian

00:55:09.300 needs to

00:55:09.860 sever her

00:55:10.340 ties.

00:55:13.460 What would

00:55:14.180 happen if

00:55:14.580 Trump

00:55:15.320 retweeted

00:55:16.380 Matt Taibu's

00:55:17.580 tweet thread

00:55:19.300 and nothing

00:55:19.840 else?

00:55:20.280 Pandemonium.

00:55:23.580 Pandemonium.

00:55:25.780 That is a

00:55:27.060 really good

00:55:27.440 idea.

00:55:28.160 If there's

00:55:28.520 anybody on

00:55:29.020 the Trump

00:55:29.460 team listening,

00:55:31.360 if Trump

00:55:32.060 did one

00:55:32.680 tweet and

00:55:33.500 that's it,

00:55:34.780 and that

00:55:35.140 was his

00:55:35.760 goodbye to

00:55:36.520 Twitter,

00:55:37.460 he might

00:55:37.900 come back

00:55:38.360 if true

00:55:38.780 social doesn't

00:55:39.480 work out.

00:55:40.480 But that

00:55:41.500 would be

00:55:42.060 strong.

00:55:42.960 Because then

00:55:43.440 everybody would

00:55:44.500 be talking

00:55:45.000 whether he

00:55:45.480 was going

00:55:45.780 to keep

00:55:46.060 tweeting.

00:55:47.000 You wouldn't

00:55:47.660 be able to

00:55:48.040 stop talking

00:55:48.560 about Trump

00:55:49.180 and he

00:55:50.080 would insert

00:55:50.920 himself in

00:55:51.460 the story

00:55:51.900 with one

00:55:52.420 tweet.

00:55:53.380 That would

00:55:53.980 be a good

00:55:54.720 play.

00:55:55.500 So whoever

00:55:56.460 suggested that,

00:55:57.440 very strong,

00:55:58.320 very strong

00:55:59.380 suggestion.

00:56:00.200 I love

00:56:00.520 that.

00:56:02.600 Not only

00:56:03.060 tweet it,

00:56:03.540 but block

00:56:03.900 the replies.

00:56:04.680 Oh, that's

00:56:05.200 even perfect.

00:56:06.320 Yeah.

00:56:07.420 I mean, I

00:56:07.920 can't see

00:56:08.420 Trump blocking

00:56:09.380 replies, but

00:56:10.180 that would be

00:56:11.180 perfect.

00:56:12.760 He's in

00:56:13.220 contract.

00:56:13.960 Yeah, I

00:56:14.240 don't believe

00:56:14.900 that Trump

00:56:18.860 can tweet.

00:56:20.360 He probably

00:56:20.840 has a

00:56:21.200 contract that

00:56:21.840 keeps him

00:56:22.200 on truth

00:56:22.580 social.

00:56:23.600 But I

00:56:24.220 can imagine

00:56:24.720 him talking

00:56:25.340 to whoever

00:56:26.040 he has the

00:56:26.480 contract with

00:56:27.260 and say,

00:56:28.700 how about I

00:56:29.120 tweet this

00:56:29.780 and then

00:56:30.600 he'll say,

00:56:31.080 see me at

00:56:31.480 truth social

00:56:32.100 for more.

00:56:33.560 And just

00:56:35.080 use Twitter

00:56:35.600 as his

00:56:36.080 marketing

00:56:36.460 vehicle.

00:56:37.400 I mean,

00:56:37.700 that would

00:56:38.020 be the way

00:56:38.340 to do it.

00:56:38.780 love that

00:56:50.780 idea.

00:56:57.340 Shecky

00:56:57.900 Pavel, I

00:56:58.460 don't know

00:56:58.700 who that

00:56:59.000 is.

00:57:01.240 Does the

00:57:01.680 liability for

00:57:02.400 the Twitter

00:57:02.760 laptop thing

00:57:03.520 transfer to

00:57:04.180 the new

00:57:04.500 owners?

00:57:05.080 There's no

00:57:05.500 liability.

00:57:06.880 It's not a

00:57:07.440 crime.

00:57:07.740 Remember,

00:57:08.700 Twitter's a

00:57:09.140 private company.

00:57:10.360 They could

00:57:10.940 ban the

00:57:11.340 laptop if

00:57:11.920 they wanted

00:57:12.280 to.

00:57:12.980 The liability,

00:57:14.840 I think,

00:57:15.260 is the

00:57:15.540 government's.

00:57:16.980 Am I

00:57:17.320 wrong?

00:57:18.340 If Twitter

00:57:19.460 did this

00:57:20.100 thing,

00:57:21.000 which they

00:57:21.460 did,

00:57:22.360 but they

00:57:22.760 did it

00:57:23.260 because of

00:57:24.600 the government,

00:57:25.160 it would be

00:57:25.500 the government

00:57:26.020 who's in

00:57:26.560 trouble,

00:57:27.520 not Twitter.

00:57:28.740 Because Twitter

00:57:29.280 could just

00:57:29.680 say, well,

00:57:30.440 if the

00:57:30.780 government

00:57:31.000 asks me to

00:57:31.600 do something,

00:57:32.780 I don't

00:57:33.100 say no to

00:57:33.580 my government.

00:57:34.200 I think

00:57:34.420 that's a get

00:57:35.880 out of jail

00:57:36.380 free,

00:57:36.680 right?

00:57:37.620 If you

00:57:38.040 say I

00:57:38.440 was following

00:57:38.960 directions

00:57:39.500 from my

00:57:39.940 government,

00:57:40.840 even if it

00:57:41.620 wasn't a

00:57:42.140 legal requirement,

00:57:44.040 I would

00:57:44.500 think that's

00:57:45.160 a get out

00:57:45.560 of jail

00:57:45.860 free completely,

00:57:47.920 I would

00:57:48.380 think.

00:57:49.840 Even if it's

00:57:50.620 just suggested

00:57:51.300 by the

00:57:51.680 government and

00:57:52.220 it's not

00:57:52.520 like a legal

00:57:53.280 mandate,

00:57:54.200 if your

00:57:54.620 government

00:57:55.020 says do

00:57:55.660 it, I

00:57:57.160 don't see

00:57:57.600 any jury

00:57:58.380 seeing otherwise.

00:58:00.600 Like, not

00:58:01.700 in my

00:58:01.940 country.

00:58:03.120 In my

00:58:03.640 country, if

00:58:04.420 the

00:58:04.560 government

00:58:04.900 forces you

00:58:06.040 to do

00:58:06.320 something,

00:58:06.680 you don't

00:58:06.900 go to

00:58:07.180 jail for

00:58:07.520 doing that

00:58:07.900 thing, or

00:58:08.920 there's no

00:58:09.520 penalty.

00:58:16.320 Yeah, the

00:58:16.920 liberals might

00:58:17.540 sue Twitter to

00:58:18.300 try to break

00:58:18.880 it.

00:58:19.220 You're right.

00:58:20.800 Just follow

00:58:21.460 orders.

00:58:25.000 All right,

00:58:25.560 Biden, yeah,

00:58:26.460 Biden was not

00:58:27.320 the government,

00:58:28.180 but do you

00:58:29.920 think the

00:58:30.260 people on

00:58:30.700 his team

00:58:31.620 were not

00:58:32.160 operating as

00:58:33.660 if they

00:58:34.040 were a

00:58:34.580 government?

00:58:36.460 Yeah, I

00:58:36.840 mean, those

00:58:37.320 are interesting

00:58:38.120 nuances.

00:58:40.320 Whether the

00:58:40.820 campaign is

00:58:41.820 really the

00:58:42.220 government or

00:58:42.860 it's a

00:58:43.140 pre-government,

00:58:44.540 that might

00:58:44.940 matter to

00:58:46.080 the Supreme

00:58:46.520 Court.

00:58:46.920 I could see

00:58:47.300 how that

00:58:47.620 would matter.

00:58:48.880 So I

00:58:49.160 don't know

00:58:49.360 how it

00:58:49.640 would come

00:58:49.880 out.

00:58:53.300 Yeah, members

00:58:54.080 of Congress

00:58:54.580 were probably

00:58:55.480 involved, because

00:58:56.380 they were

00:58:56.580 probably working

00:58:57.160 on his

00:58:57.460 campaign with

00:58:58.040 him.

00:58:58.540 But I

00:58:59.020 don't know

00:58:59.260 exactly who

00:58:59.940 contacted who

00:59:01.440 and how

00:59:02.160 many times.

00:59:05.140 I wonder

00:59:05.740 what Dershowitz

00:59:06.360 will say.

00:59:06.780 That's always

00:59:07.120 a big

00:59:07.520 question.

00:59:11.600 Scott, did

00:59:12.300 Biden steal

00:59:12.960 your defined

00:59:13.780 America equals

00:59:14.940 possible from

00:59:16.080 your defined

00:59:16.600 America equals

00:59:17.500 impossible?

00:59:19.620 I don't

00:59:20.260 recall that.

00:59:21.880 So I don't

00:59:22.400 know the

00:59:22.680 reference.

00:59:23.260 So I don't

00:59:23.720 know the

00:59:24.040 reference of

00:59:24.640 what Biden

00:59:25.200 did.

00:59:27.080 When did

00:59:27.680 Biden do

00:59:28.120 that?

00:59:29.360 And I

00:59:29.680 don't know

00:59:29.960 what I

00:59:30.300 said that

00:59:30.720 you think

00:59:31.160 might have

00:59:31.920 so I

00:59:37.240 guess I

00:59:37.640 don't

00:59:37.780 know.

00:59:42.720 All right,

00:59:43.360 just looking

00:59:43.760 at your

00:59:44.040 comments here

00:59:44.580 for a

00:59:44.860 moment.

00:59:48.560 You

00:59:49.000 miss my

00:59:49.460 cat?

00:59:50.660 So do

00:59:51.240 I.

00:59:52.140 I miss

00:59:52.800 my cat.

00:59:56.520 She was

00:59:56.960 a giant

00:59:58.580 problem.

00:59:59.860 A giant

01:00:00.380 problem.

01:00:01.160 Boy, do

01:00:01.660 I miss

01:00:01.940 her.

01:00:04.760 Yeah, we

01:00:05.200 got nothing

01:00:05.580 here.

01:00:05.960 So I

01:00:06.160 think we're

01:00:06.680 just hanging

01:00:07.060 out at this

01:00:07.500 point.

01:00:08.080 All right,

01:00:08.400 YouTube, I'm

01:00:08.900 going to say

01:00:09.120 goodbye to

01:00:09.500 you.

01:00:09.740 I'm going to

01:00:09.900 say a little

01:00:10.640 bit more to

01:00:11.060 the locals

01:00:11.360 people.

01:00:12.340 Thanks for

01:00:12.780 joining.
