good morning and welcome to the highlight of civilization it's called coffee with scott
00:00:07.280
adams and you've never had a better time that's for sure and i don't want to oversell today's
00:00:14.960
live stream but i feel like it might be the best ever i mean i got notes we've got subjects
00:00:24.960
we've got humor we've got interesting concepts it's all here and if you'd like to take it up
00:00:31.440
to levels they could only be described as stratospheric all you need is a copper mugger
00:00:38.400
a glass of tanker chalice or stein a canteen jugger flask of vessel of a guy and fill it with your
00:00:43.600
favorite liquid i like coffee and join me now for the unparalleled pleasure the dopamine here
00:00:50.640
the day the thing that makes everything better it's called the simultaneous sip go
00:01:01.520
hello from atlantis i didn't know that was still with us but apparently it is
00:01:10.160
i don't know where to start of course i'm going to be talking about twitter but there's so much
00:01:16.640
in the news today it's like crazy so let's just jump right in i hope you're exercising or cleaning
00:01:25.040
your house or commuting or doing something for which this content will will raise you up all right
00:01:34.320
so uh kirsten cinema arizona senator has quit the democrats to become an independent
00:01:41.600
so there's that i wonder why uh kirsten cinema would pick now why now interesting time but she's
00:01:52.560
got some complaints about the democrats being too political too political yeah so she'll be an
00:01:57.760
independent so i wonder if there's like any related information that would uh kind of give us any
00:02:06.560
insight on kirsten cinema changing uh changing parties i wonder why that would happen huh
00:02:17.120
well you know in a completely unrelated way um rasmussen uh polling company did a tweet today
00:02:25.760
and i think it was last year or so they asked this poll question but we hadn't seen it till now
00:02:31.040
um they asked arizona who did they vote for in the election in which cinema won against mxalley the
00:02:40.880
republican candidate now since we know that cinema won the election if you ask the people in the in the
00:02:49.760
state who did you vote for it should be very close to what the actual vote was right i mean one thing for
00:02:57.200
sure is that it's not going to be way off like it's not going to be completely different like in an
00:03:03.200
obvious way from the actual vote so when rasmussen asked people who they voted for 37 of them said they
00:03:10.880
voted for the winner cinema and uh 46 but that 46 of them said they voted for the person who lost mxalley
00:03:28.400
here it is there are only two possibilities people two possibilities one a professional polling company
00:03:39.520
forgot how to do a poll they just don't know how to poll like all their other polls have been fine and
00:03:46.400
they're usually one of the better ones for accuracy and presidential elections but maybe just this one
00:03:52.800
time even though they checked their numbers maybe maybe they just forgot how to do this polling thing do you
00:04:00.720
think that could be it because it would suggest that the actual election went to the loser
00:04:08.080
do you think that many people forgot who they voted for if you reproduce this for another candidate in
00:04:16.720
another place at another time would the result be close to what the actual election was or would it be off
00:04:24.960
by the difference between 37 and 46 which is pretty pretty big difference yeah it's a big difference
00:04:32.160
difference now of course this is only suggestive of what might have been a problem it's not proof
00:04:43.520
would you agree yeah a poll is a statistical likelihood kind of a situation it's not proof it's not like your
00:04:50.640
direct witness saw something but uh i wonder is anything else happening around now
00:04:58.800
that would make you question the official narrative about things just things in general anything is
00:05:06.640
there anything happening in the world that would i don't know influence your trust in what the people
00:05:14.000
in charge have told you is true anything i don't know well let's talk about what else is in the news
00:05:20.320
see if you can maybe tie it all together see see if you can maybe find a theme today is there a theme in
00:05:34.560
so um well i wish i had not gotten all of my many notes out of order but uh speaking of rasmussen
00:05:44.080
actually before we speak of them the ceo of coinbase coinbase is the big uh exchange that was the big
00:05:55.280
competitor to ftx the crypto exchange that we know now was a gigantic fraud situation and bankrupt and
00:06:03.440
the ceo of coinbase says uh i'm paraphrasing now um why is the ceo of ftx not in jail is it not obvious
00:06:15.920
to everyone involved that he just stole 10 billion dollars and he's walking around like he's your barber
00:06:22.560
or something like like it didn't even it didn't even register as a crime now to be fair here's here's
00:06:32.560
the second theme for today's show and this theme is important because it's going to come up with some
00:06:38.080
of the other uh topics the theme is this if you're a citizen of the united states you are innocent until
00:06:46.240
proven guilty so i'd like to hear his defense i can't imagine my my imagination is not good enough
00:06:54.880
to imagine it's not exactly what it looks like it looks like he stole 10 billion dollars that's what
00:07:01.120
it looks like uh but he's he is a citizen of the united states and as a citizen of the united states i
00:07:08.640
extend to him the privilege of all citizens of the united states innocent until proven guilty
00:07:16.240
right now of course i'm gonna make you know i'm gonna make a little uh exception or be flexible
00:07:23.920
if it's really really obvious what the crime was right if the police capture somebody with a smoking
00:07:31.120
weapon and there's a bunch of dead people and witnesses and video cameras i'm not going to say that
00:07:37.120
one's innocent until proven guilty right if the news is just like confirms it beyond any doubt
00:07:43.600
but ftx is complicated it's complicated it's entirely possible that he he gives you a defense that says oh
00:07:54.480
he was just stupid or incompetent it wasn't the criminal intent that you imagined it's possible
00:08:01.600
uh you know i i think it's very unlikely very unlikely but it's possible so as an individual i give him that uh
00:08:12.160
privilege of of assumption of uh of innocence do we do we extend the assumption of innocence to our
00:08:19.920
government or to big corporations is that is it reasonable is it ethical and moral to extend that
00:08:28.160
assumption no it's not it's not it's the opposite in fact for big entities who have much power over you
00:08:35.040
you know when there's a big power imbalance like the government versus a citizen in that case they are
00:08:41.280
definitely guilty until a proven innocent meaning if they can't provide some transparency about their
00:08:47.920
systems you should as a reasonable ethical moral person assume they're guilty that that should be your
00:08:55.760
baseline assumption and you should act like that's true but if they can prove they're not or they can make
00:09:01.920
their system transparent so everybody can see for themselves then then revise your opinion but
00:09:08.560
start with citizens innocent big entities guilty that's your starting assumption to be a you know a wise good
00:09:19.680
citizen in the republic let's talk about uh banning tick tock and see if there are any uh assumptions we could make
00:09:25.920
about the government um speaking of rasmussen they did a poll on tick tock found out that two-thirds of
00:09:34.960
voters are worried about tick tock and that china could use it against americans and they support banning it
00:09:42.240
so two-thirds of the public bans it now one assumes that the people who are opposed to banning it would
00:09:49.040
either be people who love using it or people maybe not up to date on the subject or maybe just people who
00:09:55.280
are you know radical about freedom i guess even if it has a cost so so that's that that's about what i
00:10:04.800
would have expected is that is that about what you expected two-thirds of the public would say get rid
00:10:11.440
of it does that feel right it feels right to me like that that's that's right in the that's right in the
00:10:18.160
pocket of where i would have expected it to be so um i don't know i i i i know a lot of you are modest
00:10:30.640
a lot of the people who watch this live stream are modest but if there's anybody who wandered in here
00:10:35.360
is not a regular you know maybe on youtube you haven't seen this before um i hate to do this to
00:10:41.920
my followers but i'm going to ask you to be non-modest just for a moment sort of a demonstration
00:10:49.680
like if you could just take your modesty and put it in the side because i want you to show off for a
00:10:54.960
little bit do you tell me what percentage of adult american voters without any hints you tell me with
00:11:05.040
your psychic abilities what percentage of the public thinks that tick tock should not be banned
00:11:14.800
you know every time you do this i get more impressed i i think well okay you got lucky last
00:11:20.960
time how do you do this it's 24 24 yeah you're within the margin of error like
00:11:29.120
i don't know you just keep impressing me you keep impressing me i don't know how you do it yep it
00:11:36.800
said that was exactly right um and now here's the second question you know that there is bipartisan support
00:11:46.240
in congress both the democrats and the republicans both say with full voice some of them not all of
00:11:54.160
them that should be banned so it's a bipartisan issue all right now here's the question for you
00:12:00.400
you're all you're all wise consumers of the news and you know that tick tock's a big issue
00:12:05.680
tell me the name of a member of congress or anybody in the biden administration
00:12:11.920
who is opposed to banning it anybody just give me the name democrat republican independent
00:12:19.360
now somebody who somebody who actually said it out loud i'm not talking about people who you think
00:12:25.520
not people you think believe it i'm talking about people who said it out loud nobody nobody
00:12:34.720
now harris didn't say it out loud i don't even need to check i know that didn't happen
00:12:39.200
the the only people who have said out loud democrat or republican the only and only people who've even
00:12:45.680
said anything out loud said ban it you give me a fact check on that right give me a fact check am i
00:12:53.440
wrong that everybody who spoke out loud democrat or republican 100 of them said ban it am i wrong
00:13:03.760
right i believe i'm i believe i'm correct now can you explain to me why
00:13:11.040
why if everyone is on the same side and it would be a fairly easy thing to do right probably i don't
00:13:19.440
know if it's legislation or executive order i don't know what it is but it would be easy as long as
00:13:25.840
everybody agrees because there's no complexity here is there the complexity is oh it looks like it's
00:13:31.680
risky we don't know but why take the chance so take it out of the take it out of the app stores and
00:13:38.080
you're done could be the easiest law you could ever pass give me any give me any reason that
00:13:46.080
that doesn't use the word corruption to explain it well i do have two hypotheses
00:13:52.800
so believe it or not there are two good hypotheses um one comes from uh twitter user on hoodwinked
00:14:01.760
who's a fun follow if you want to add somebody unhoodwinked one word and uh explains yeah i always
00:14:12.240
like it when people uh explain back to me my own opinions but they do it well so in this case he's
00:14:19.280
doing it well says quote people seem to be more motivated by the thought of losing something than
00:14:25.920
by the thought of gaining something of equal value and that quote is from robert cialdini who's sort of
00:14:32.480
the the godfather of persuasion and somebody i speak about all the time and and so on hoodwinked asked this
00:14:40.160
question you know wisely why would the democrats anger their addicts because the people who use
00:14:47.760
tick tock or addicts why would they anger their base um given that they have nothing to replace it
00:14:55.120
with now they do have something to replace it with you can replace it with tick tock videos and i'm sorry
00:15:01.440
with instagram videos but you could you could have an american company feeding you the videos it's not like
00:15:07.280
you would have no access to videos anymore the tick tockers would just move over to instagram and it would
00:15:13.280
just take off but so that's a possibility i like that i like that as a potential explanation don't
00:15:21.040
you that that passes the sniff test it is something that would make their voters unhappy and they don't
00:15:28.240
have anything to soothe soothe them or explain why they're making them unhappy because you know national
00:15:34.640
defense is not going to be good enough for a tick tock user there's no tick tock influencer who is going
00:15:41.120
to say oh i sure liked being a tick tock influencer and all of the benefits i was getting from that
00:15:47.360
but you know now that you mentioned there's a risk with china i think i'd rather that you turn it off
00:15:54.720
nobody right so it's like not like a tick tock influencer is ever going to agree with the
00:15:59.680
government now as jack murphy also on twitter points out in the tweet
00:16:05.520
um he says uh if and when the biden administration stops hosting tick tock influencers which they've
00:16:14.400
done uh perhaps then the writing will be on the wall but until then they aren't they aren't just not
00:16:20.320
banning it they're using it for their agenda so that passes the sniff test too doesn't it
00:16:28.080
isn't that exactly what would make sense is that there's no politician who wants it
00:16:33.680
doesn't nobody thinks it's good for the country but there are enough politicians who think it's
00:16:39.840
good for their re-election that not only does tick tock you know help them get their message out
00:16:46.800
but if they took it away it would it would make their voters very unhappy so that's the whole story
00:16:52.720
isn't it i don't see what else could explain why yeah the other possibility is they're taking bribes
00:17:00.800
from china but i think uh unhoodwinked and jack murphy have the superior hypotheses i think the
00:17:08.800
superior hypothesis is not that china is bribing our politicians could be i mean anything's possible
00:17:15.200
but i think the the better the better is that the democrats know it would be to their disadvantage
00:17:20.480
and they have too much power now so there's nothing that's going to happen but why did the republicans
00:17:26.160
not do it how about that remember trump wanted to ban it and it didn't get done and i don't remember
00:17:34.000
who stopped it now my understanding is it's the treasury department who's researching it right now
00:17:43.440
does does giving it to the treasury department to research does that sound like an administration who
00:17:49.440
wants it to be banned or an administration who wants the issue to be delayed forever which sounds more
00:17:56.640
like more like what that would do huh i really want to ban tick tock let me turn it over to an unrelated
00:18:06.560
bureaucracy and have them wrestle with it for months does that sound like somebody who wants to ban tick
00:18:13.520
tick tock no that sounds like somebody wants to look like they're doing something but they definitely
00:18:20.160
don't want to ban tick tock so you give it to the treasury department you say hey take your time
00:18:26.720
get to get a committee together you know maybe you do some research and i'll bet you'll never have
00:18:31.760
enough information i'll bet you'll never know enough to make a recommendation but we'll wait
00:18:36.720
we'll just keep waiting so that looks like what's happening right now if you were on the uh local
00:18:44.560
subscription service uh you would hear more about this topic that i won't be telling you on youtube
00:18:53.680
sorry uh but there's more more to this story here's my prediction my prediction is that tick tock will
00:19:02.240
be banned before june of 2023 and here's the reason for the prediction they're definitely not going to
00:19:11.040
ban tick tock before christmas everybody agrees with that right so even if they were inclined to
00:19:16.800
they wouldn't do it before christmas and make everybody unhappy so it's going to be after christmas
00:19:23.760
but they can't wait too long you know why why can't they wait too long the democrats i mean they
00:19:31.200
can't wait too long because it's free money for the republicans the republicans just have to walk up
00:19:37.200
to this topic and look down at the table and there's a big pile of free money all they have to do is say
00:19:43.440
well we'll ban tick tock and then two-thirds of the country says oh okay that sounds pretty good
00:19:54.080
so yeah it's not it's not literally cash so when i say money on the table i mean figuratively
00:20:01.120
speaking figuratively speaking somebody says after the ipo so there's also a hypothesis that some
00:20:11.120
investors have enough money in tick tock that you have to wait for it to go public so they can get
00:20:17.360
their money out once they're cashed out then the money people will allow their little pets in the
00:20:22.960
government to ban it maybe that would certainly be a follow the money explanation so now you have three
00:20:31.600
three pretty good explanations for why there could be no politicians in favor of keeping it and yet
00:20:38.400
nothing happens and i think maybe it's a combination of all that yes long as 12 year olds can't vote so i
00:20:46.240
think the democrats are going to have to take the issue away from the republicans because it's just too
00:20:51.200
available and easy for them to just pick it up they have to take it away and they have to get they have to
00:20:56.800
take it away as soon as they can so it doesn't doesn't get close to the 2024 election so i think before june of
00:21:08.320
um yeah i see well do you want to talk about uh britney griner's released
00:21:19.040
so as you know uh what w nba player britney griner um who plays for the the popular and w nba team the uh
00:21:31.520
well i'm i'm just going to roll through in my mind all the names of different w nba teams that i'm familiar
00:21:38.800
with there's the uh the unicorns uh that might be a team uh how about the uh
00:21:51.280
shooters the uh mustangs i don't know i don't know but i'm i'm assuming that they have actually
00:21:59.840
teams team names right does the nba have actual teams and they have names and stuff probably probably
00:22:08.240
but anyway we respect the wnba uh although we don't know anything about them i think it's basketball
00:22:14.960
it's like a basketball thing i don't know i've never seen it but i hear i hear great things about it
00:22:21.680
anyway the uh we're being told by the biden administration that uh russia gave them a choice
00:22:29.200
they could trade for the merchant of death arms dealer who killed more people than you know maybe
00:22:35.680
hitler we don't know but uh they traded that guy for but only one they would only give us one person
00:22:42.240
in return and it could either be um it could either be the ex marine paul whalen who's being held over
00:22:50.560
there for reasons that appear to be trumped up charges uh or the wnba player but uh as
00:22:58.880
biden's spokesperson who is and this is important to the story otherwise i wouldn't bring it up
00:23:05.520
spokesperson is uh both black and lesbian now coincidentally um
00:23:14.080
britney griner is both black and lesbian both black and lesbian so when the biden administration had a
00:23:20.320
choice of who to bring back the adult white male who served this country as a marine or the black
00:23:28.240
lesbian uh basketball player uh the the spokesperson said that they valued her being black and lesbian
00:23:43.920
just just sort of let that settle in for a moment i listened to it and i thought well you're not going
00:23:49.840
to say it directly right you're not going to directly say we favored her for being black and
00:23:56.640
lesbian because you wouldn't say that out loud right and they did she actually said it out loud
00:24:03.920
she said that that was that was that was a variable and if you were going to choose between the two
00:24:10.000
they put a priority and they said it directly a priority on her being black and lesbian because that made
00:24:16.960
her a role model you know who's not a role model in this country a white male marine who defended the country
00:24:26.960
that would be not a role model that's the opposite of a role model but what you want
00:24:32.640
is a law-breaking drug dealing not dealing drug doing i don't mind the drug part actually uh athlete who's
00:24:43.280
black and lesbian which is an advantage two advantages three advantages she's female she's black and she's
00:24:50.560
lesbian she's got three advantages so of course you want the valuable one to be let out do you know what i fear
00:24:58.880
i fear i fear that i will someday be captured by uh an adversarial country you know because i'm exactly
00:25:09.200
the kind of guy that they want to pick off the street you know i think i'm just traveling overseas
00:25:15.280
going to a exotic place and i get picked up by the country and jailed on some trumped up charge
00:25:21.760
and that would be bad enough but the only thing i fear is that at the same time they put me in jail
00:25:27.760
they also picked up a black lesbian wnba player
00:25:33.200
and then then my embassy got a message to me and they said scott scott good news uh we made a deal
00:25:41.920
that we can get one of you out of here and i would say one of one of us what are you talking about you
00:25:47.840
know there's two of you there are two of you that have been you know illegitimately captured and we're
00:25:53.440
pretty sure we can get one of you out so good news and i'd be like all right all right who's the other
00:26:06.240
right who's who's the other person all right so so let me say this as just clearly as i can
00:26:14.640
your government has gone full racist they did it right in front of you right in front of you
00:26:20.480
and they didn't they didn't pull their punch they didn't hide it they said it directly white
00:26:26.000
lives don't matter that much and they said it in direct language with no no hesitation
00:26:32.800
that the the role model of an adult black lesbian uh was like something that needed to be protected
00:26:42.560
and this american ex-marine not so important they actually told you white lives didn't matter
00:26:52.400
i mean i'm paraphrasing but that's what i heard i heard white lives didn't matter because i don't
00:26:58.960
see anything happening to get paul well and out of prison do you yeah no they're gonna let him
00:27:04.080
fucking die there oh by the way did you know that he was a trump supporter did anybody mention that
00:27:10.160
that the one that they're fucking is a trump supporter yeah now that's an impeachable offense
00:27:20.640
that's an impeachable offense the administration went full racist and didn't hide it they didn't
00:27:27.600
hide it and they left him there because he's a fucking trump supporter if you tell me there's any
00:27:33.440
other reason that they left him there then besides the fact that he's in you know a trump supporter
00:27:38.960
you're lying because everything you suspect about your government has to be assumed to be true
00:27:48.480
what you what you believe about any one individual in the government well they're innocent until proven
00:27:54.640
guilty if it's one person but not the government it was the government that decided to discriminate
00:28:01.920
based on race based on political preference based on maybe um gender preference that was a decision
00:28:10.640
they did it right in front of you and they hunted again another adult white male and they just
00:28:17.120
fucking left in there and he's still there can you tell me that we don't have any leverage over russia
00:28:23.360
nothing okay in your wildest imagination can you imagine trump leaving him there now trump would have
00:28:32.400
gotten both of them out you agree with that right trump would never would have said oh you you're only
00:28:38.160
going to let me have one do you know what trump would have done i'll tell you what trump would have done
00:28:43.040
he would have picked up lavrov wherever he fucking is that's what he would have done he would have
00:28:48.880
locked up their fucking foreign minister tell me you wouldn't you tell me you wouldn't do that yeah
00:28:56.160
he would and i would support him on it now of course we'd have to get all of our diplomats out of russia
00:29:03.120
but i'd do it i'd close the embassy in russia i'd pull out every american and then i would grab the
00:29:11.520
highest ranking russian i could find anywhere i'd put him in jail and say you're holding a marine
00:29:19.440
did you hear us you're holding our marine red line red line red line everything's on the table now
00:29:30.480
everything's on the table you gotta let that guy go everything's on the table that's what trump would
00:29:36.400
have done and he would have gotten both of them back and then he would have murdered the merchant
00:29:41.440
of death uh before he got off the plane yeah you want to give him a give him a last meal that has
00:29:49.200
like a time release capsule in it or something but i definitely kill that guy you got to kill that guy
00:29:55.200
but i think he would have gotten our people back now i'm not saying that trump should be our next
00:30:00.320
president because i'm not on that team at all i'm just saying it's easy to see that this was a solvable
00:30:07.600
problem if somebody wanted it solved it's clear they didn't want this solved or they're terribly
00:30:14.400
incompetent one or the other i've been like do you think do you think russia would have given up
00:30:21.120
everything just to keep this one marine i don't but i would have risked everything to get him back
00:30:27.520
because that's that's just got to be how it works right you can't send your marines over there to
00:30:33.600
protect you if you're not going to protect them like nothing works that way that the world doesn't
00:30:40.400
work that way you've got to be on their side or don't send them over to kill people on your behalf
00:30:53.600
what is what is currently the friendliest country in the world for adult white males if i have to move
00:31:01.840
that's a serious question if if i wanted to move someplace where an adult white male
00:31:08.000
would do well where would that be poland romania iceland japan i don't know
00:31:20.640
thailand i think thailand there are a lot of countries that can go both ways right
00:31:26.320
you know they might hate you but they'll treat you well you know so they might be racist against
00:31:30.640
you but you'll still do all right i feel like thailand would be a place where you would do fine as
00:31:37.120
an adult white male but they maybe they don't like you that much privately
00:31:43.200
yeah ukraine ireland i don't know but it it does feel like it's not not a friendly place to be anymore
00:31:51.760
for all of us um did you know that twitter can read your dms did you all know that you know that the
00:32:02.720
twitter employees they can just look at all your private messages you should have known that right
00:32:08.960
the reason that the reason that encrypted apps exist is that unencrypted apps whoever runs them can look
00:32:17.040
at them have you ever put anything in a dm that you didn't want uh the world to see don't do that
00:32:24.720
don't do that yeah i you know of course you know i re i replayed my past history to i asked myself have
00:32:33.840
i ever dm something that if it became public that would be a problem and the answer is of course of
00:32:44.160
course i have but not a big problem right you know it would be like one new cycle of
00:32:52.240
cartoonists said this thing that surprises you and it would be out of context because probably it
00:32:57.040
wouldn't be anything bad i don't i don't think i've ever put anything i don't think i've ever put
00:33:01.920
anything bad in a dm but definitely i've put opinions there i've had opinions there that maybe i've not
00:33:09.840
expressed in public so maybe those would be embarrassing but they would be easy to defend
00:33:15.520
it just would be something i hadn't yet defended so i think i i think i'd be fine as far as i know
00:33:22.000
but let me give you this advice again there's no such thing as a private digital communication
00:33:28.720
that is not a thing that is not a thing not a text message not an email not an encrypted app
00:33:36.640
not telegram not whatsapp those are encrypted but it doesn't keep them private because there are
00:33:44.240
other ways that people can get it besides breaking the encryption right somebody can just look at your
00:33:50.000
phone or somebody could look at the phone of who received it or the person who received it could just
00:33:55.520
show it to a friend right so so there's no such thing as private digital communication
00:34:01.200
the sooner you realize that the safer you'll be uh barry weiss it was her turn to do the next twitter
00:34:10.160
files drop so we got another tweet thread and more to come and we learned a little bit more about
00:34:17.440
twitter and let's talk about all that and this falls into the category of everything you suspected
00:34:24.800
it might actually be true everything you thought people were doing to you they were just like you
00:34:34.400
thought let's talk about that apparently barry weiss has discovered and we all know now that there
00:34:42.560
were two groups um official groups within twitter who individually had the ability to shadow ban or
00:34:51.360
throttle or decrease the visibility of various people and we know that among those who were um shadow ban
00:35:06.000
and dan bongino and the libs of tech tiktok so those are three that we know for sure that's now confirmed
00:35:14.880
that they were not imagining it when they saw that their their engagement dropped through the roof it
00:35:21.200
was exactly what it what it looked like now here's my first question suppose and it seems to be
00:35:29.920
confirmed suppose it's true that some of those accounts got totally shadow banned
00:35:40.000
have you ever thought about that there's going to be a race now because uh must said must said he
00:35:48.080
would uh he would release a tool that would let you check your own account status what happens if i
00:35:55.840
check my account status and it's just fine and there's no shadow banning out at all do you know how
00:36:01.280
embarrassed and pissed off i'm gonna be i'm gonna be like seriously you're gonna ban dan bongino but not
00:36:08.720
me have you seen what i say i mean just listen to me for five minutes if you're not if you're gonna
00:36:14.640
ban dan bongino what has he got that i don't have why is he better than me all right sure oh oh you're
00:36:20.800
gonna ban dan bongino but not me why why i i'm gonna be a little bit jealous of dan bongino as i already
00:36:31.120
am because he does great work um i'm gonna be a little bit disappointed and i'm not even joking
00:36:41.680
i'm not joking yesterday i realized what if i find out i was never important enough to be shadow banned
00:36:49.280
i will be crushed crushed like i desperately want to be on that list
00:36:55.440
now here's the here's the problem though as soon as musk took over my twitter account immediately
00:37:06.000
began responding as though it's not shadow banned so in other words i don't see any indication that
00:37:12.000
i'm being throttled so i would imagine that when the tool is available i'll check and my account will
00:37:18.240
look totally clean that's what i think but that won't tell me
00:37:25.680
that won't tell me if they had ever if they'd ever had it banned because here's what i think
00:37:32.640
do you believe that that at around the time musk took over do you believe that um somebody at twitter
00:37:41.840
went to individual accounts such as mine and then made an individual decision to take the
00:37:49.200
throttle off of me and then went to the next person and said all right let's make the decision on this
00:37:54.400
next one that feels unlikely what it feels like and there's no there's no confirmation of this this is
00:38:01.280
speculation what it feels like is there were a whole bunch of us on a list and that i want to find out
00:38:08.720
if their if their so-called tool for visibility can do an entire list the same way in other words
00:38:17.040
can they make can they make all people on one side disappear for a little while because that's the way
00:38:23.120
i would have built it right wouldn't you build it so it was a list based as well as individual
00:38:29.520
of course that would be the obvious thing you do right you just put it in a list and then because
00:38:34.080
you want to be able to treat them all the same sometimes yeah oh uh people on locals this is the
00:38:45.920
third thing i want you to remind me of so when i talk to you privately later after youtube is gone
00:38:52.880
i have a jim baker story that i can't tell on youtube okay it's not what you think
00:39:00.560
all right um here's what else we found out uh so there were several references to what jack dorsey
00:39:11.280
knew or did uh do you believe that uh what for those of you who saw it do you believe that uh
00:39:18.560
barry weiss and the information she came up with do you believe it confirms that jack dorsey knew all
00:39:25.760
along and was lying to the public how many think he knew all along and he was lying to the public
00:39:36.960
i see yeses and nos all right have i mentioned that private citizens are innocent until proven guilty
00:39:46.400
now i'm on record as saying i believe that he didn't know it was happening that it was happening
00:39:51.280
clearly but that the ceo didn't know because the staff lied about it that that was my speculation
00:39:58.000
now i don't know that we don't have enough information to confirm one way or the other
00:40:04.720
but let me tell you what i think happened yesterday which is making you think that it was confirmed
00:40:11.680
that jack dorsey knew what was going on here's what i think i think we're we're conflating concepts
00:40:18.640
concept number one did twitter have a tool a software tool that would allow them to shadow
00:40:27.040
ban yes or no did they have a tool that could do it if they wanted to do it yes did did we all know
00:40:34.640
that that was the case because they obviously had a tool for getting rid of trolls and nazis and
00:40:41.040
people who violated terms of service so there's no new information no new information
00:40:47.760
about the fact that they had the tools to shadow ban some people would you agree that the fact that
00:40:53.600
the tool exists is known to everybody now when jack dorsey confirmed that that tool exists was he
00:41:03.520
confirming that the company does shadow banning because he did confirm that the tool exists
00:41:09.040
so what you read was yes that tool exists did you read did you read anywhere that jack dorsey knows they
00:41:22.080
now stop stop saying he knew that's a speculation and i understand why you're speculating it's a perfectly
00:41:29.360
reasonable speculation but uh regardless of how reasonable it is as a speculation
00:41:36.000
would you agree that the evidence has not shown it the evidence has not shown it the evidence has
00:41:44.000
shown that he admitted the tool exists the evidence has shown that the tool was used by the employees
00:41:55.120
we do know that twitter's official you know whatever their official tweeting account is said
00:42:03.600
how could that be true and not true at the same time is that possible is it possible that twitter
00:42:12.640
could say and and be honest and true about it that they don't shadow ban but at the same time
00:42:18.480
they totally do shadow ban can that can both of those be true yes i think that's what's going on
00:42:26.240
they can both be true they seem like opposites but here's how they can both be true hey twitter what is
00:42:33.680
your official policy on twitter on shadow banning oh our official policy is we don't do it we don't do
00:42:41.280
it at all okay that's your official policy but now how do you explain charlie kirk dan bongino and libs
00:42:49.840
of tech tick tock oh that's not shadow banning that was our opinion that they had created a danger
00:42:58.880
for our our our base and we we always have a normal process everybody does of getting rid of dangerous
00:43:06.480
stuff stuff stuff that stuff that violated our terms of service well wait a minute tick wait a
00:43:12.160
minute twitter um even in your internal communications you admitted that the libs of tick
00:43:18.960
tock did not violate any terms of service and yet in your own writings that we can see ourselves
00:43:25.600
you banned them so how do you explain that and then they say well look at the same document you're
00:43:32.880
looking at we explained it in the document we didn't say we said clearly they did not violate
00:43:38.320
the terms of service but that they were creating a dangerous situation in our opinion and so in order to
00:43:45.520
decrease danger we were responsible citizens and we reduced that source of danger but that's not shadow
00:43:53.200
banning what are you talking about that that was good citizens being you know having a fiduciary
00:44:00.880
responsibility to their customers seeing what they believed in their in their honest in their honest
00:44:08.240
interpretation was a danger to the citizens the lgbtq community in particular the trans community
00:44:16.000
and we didn't want to we didn't want to be part of increasing the danger to a um you know a target
00:44:22.480
population that is protected and so oh yes you know it's true we we did not follow our terms of service
00:44:29.840
but we did something better than that we acted where we thought there was a risk you know you
00:44:35.200
could smart people could disagree and they could say we shouldn't have done that and you know in
00:44:40.080
retrospect maybe you're right but we did it with good intentions and we didn't break any laws
00:44:47.680
we did it with good intentions and we broke no laws how can you disprove that
00:44:53.840
you can't you know unless there's a document somewhere that that proves they knew exactly
00:45:02.240
what they were doing and it was just political and we haven't seen that no they could they could be
00:45:09.200
telling the truth that they don't shadow ban because they simply have to define this other stuff
00:45:15.040
as not shadow banning they simply have to say no we have a different term for that
00:45:20.000
did we reduce the visibility of those accounts oh yes we do that are you talking about our visibility
00:45:27.840
reducing oh yeah we totally do that you should have asked about that but you asked about shadow
00:45:33.760
banning shadow banning would be doing it for political reasons oh we never do it for political
00:45:39.280
reasons we do it because there are some accounts that say dangerous or untrue things
00:45:45.360
and those things we target and it wouldn't matter who they were right it's just dangerous and untrue
00:45:50.480
things so we're just sort of doing our job right
00:46:04.480
i'm going to double down on jack dorsey didn't know
00:46:08.160
that they were doing actual shadow banning he thought they were doing you know visibility
00:46:14.000
reducing of dangerous stuff and that but i also imagine that toward the end of his uh tenure i believe
00:46:22.800
he probably had a strong suspicion of what was going on and that with that strong suspicion
00:46:29.920
um so here's the funniest part about it so so jack is famously sort of a high awareness uh kind of an
00:46:40.080
individual like he's not he's sort of not down in the the dirty weeds with the rest of us yeah he's a
00:46:46.960
little bit you know more of a meditator seeker of knowledge kind of a guy and and he seems very
00:46:55.280
non-violent wouldn't you say he seems like a non-violent kind of a guy wouldn't wouldn't wish
00:47:01.040
any violence on anybody you know higher awareness kind of guy
00:47:06.800
i'm imagining how this is playing with his mind
00:47:10.320
because if he got screwed by his own staff as badly as i believe he did
00:47:16.080
he probably wishes he could go in there with a machine gun and just just like kill them all right
00:47:22.320
now that's not fair i don't want to put any speculate about other people's internal thoughts
00:47:27.040
but how how mad would you be if you didn't know what was going on and your staff had lied about it
00:47:34.800
and put you in this position i would be really really mad and i think he probably i think he probably
00:47:40.320
either suspected or knew about it before he left and i think that's why i think that's why he's so vocally
00:47:46.720
in favor of two things all of the documents being released now if jack were guilty would he ask for
00:47:56.000
all of the documents to be released at the very least he knows that there's no internal document
00:48:02.320
that incriminates him wouldn't you say at the very least he must know there's nothing that would
00:48:08.560
incriminate him otherwise you wouldn't be calling for it to be released you would just be silent about
00:48:15.360
it and and he has been a number of times vocally in favor of uh what musk is doing including the
00:48:25.200
downsizing of the company he built so my if you piece it all together my speculation is this it's just
00:48:32.320
speculation that jack probably feels like he got screwed by some people on his his team and he's happy
00:48:42.960
with musk getting the revenge that it was impractical for him to get that's what i think now let me say
00:48:51.680
this as clearly as possible if in 10 minutes it turns out i'm completely wrong and jack was behind
00:48:58.560
everything i will say to you without reservation well that was wrong i got that one wrong all right so
00:49:06.960
i'm not i'm not i'm not going to hide it from you if i'm wrong i'm wrong right it won't be the end of my
00:49:12.080
life if i'm wrong i'm wrong did i miss a super chat
00:49:28.000
question it's legal for a corporation to lie isn't it not to congress but they can lie to the
00:49:39.280
customers can't they it's legal yeah i remember it was such a mind blower when i was a kid to learn
00:49:45.440
that the the professional wrestling you saw on tv was not real because i said to myself well they can't
00:49:54.160
lie to you on television can they if it's on television somebody must have checked to make
00:50:00.320
sure it's real they wouldn't just say it's not real but apparently there's no law against it
00:50:07.440
and game shows are the same thing did you know those game shows where you know somebody wins and
00:50:12.640
somebody loses you know that they legally they can just rig those if they want to
00:50:18.240
now i don't think that they do all the time maybe not most of the time but but it's completely
00:50:23.520
legal to rig a game show so you think you're watching an actual game but you know it's just
00:50:29.040
rigged it's not even illegal years ago this blew my mind do you remember when uh
00:50:36.480
was it david copperfield made a a jet disappear does anybody remember that was on live tv
00:50:44.960
i don't know if it was live or recorded might have been live and what they the way they did it was
00:50:50.960
it was it was like a real jet and they had people uh hold hands and form a circle around it and then
00:50:58.640
they covered the jet with some kind of a cloth covering and when they removed the covering the
00:51:03.760
jet was gone how do you make an entire jet disappear obviously it wasn't lifted over the people
00:51:12.240
because they would have known that and it's a whole jet so it's not like there was like a secret
00:51:17.920
trap door like there's no trap door that's big enough for a whole jet right so how could that how
00:51:25.280
could they possibly do that trick no it wasn't with mirrors no think think more basic
00:51:35.040
it was just a tv camera trick it wasn't a magic trick at all the the trick was it wasn't never a magic
00:51:41.920
trick the people who were holding hands were part of the trick
00:51:45.200
and as soon as the camera you know looked at one part of them the other part the other group just
00:51:51.680
let their hands out and somebody pulled the jet out and we know with some kind of a whatever you
00:51:57.040
used to pull jets around and then when the camera you know went back to where those people were they
00:52:03.040
were back where they belonged it was never a magic trick it it was just a lie that was entertaining
00:52:11.680
and because it's entertaining they can lie that i think that's roughly the rule if the point of
00:52:19.440
it is entertainment you're allowed to lie you you only have to entertain people that's it you did what
00:52:26.000
you said you do i'll entertain you so once you know that that helps inform a lot of what you see
00:52:34.400
just because just because somebody says something's true there's no legal liability there they can say
00:52:42.320
anything they want all right um jack dorsey did tell charlie kirk in 2018 that they don't shadow ban
00:52:52.880
um jack dorsey told me the same thing at around the same time you know different words but same time now
00:53:01.200
i believe them so could i be wrong sure sure people can be wrong but i i still i'm still gonna bet on that
00:53:12.800
now what happens to democrats when it becomes a point of fact that um the system was rigged
00:53:24.400
and if if if twitter was rigged the way it looks like it was rigged that definitely changed the
00:53:31.680
political landscape in a dirty trick kind of way but not necessarily in the illegal way definitely a dirty
00:53:38.880
trick so what happens when they're a dirty trick which definitely changed everything what happens
00:53:46.960
when that's revealed how do they act do they say oh you got us this time well that would be hard to do
00:53:55.120
right do they say um no that didn't happen your facts are wrong because that would be hard it'd be
00:54:03.680
hard to say the facts are wrong so here's what i predict cognitive dissonance right now what is the
00:54:12.560
tell for cognitive dissonance have i taught you that does anybody remember what the tell is
00:54:18.800
well it could be the the so right where they go so you're saying and then they say something that's
00:54:24.240
not what you're saying word salad yeah word salad is the tell so here is ted lu famous uh democrat
00:54:33.040
twitter user who uh is a member of congress and you would expect him to have to say something
00:54:40.640
you'd have to say something about this so i'll read you what he tweeted and you tell me does this make
00:54:46.320
sense or is this word salad all right i'll just read it the way he tweeted it he goes dear maga folks
00:54:54.080
this is twitter asserting its right to ban you or not or to promote q cat videos over posts
00:55:02.960
by barry weiss or to have quote twitter files or to accelerate posts about the browns
00:55:09.520
or decelerate posts about kale twitter is a business get it
00:55:19.280
now does that have anything to do with anything yeah that's word salad isn't it it literally looks
00:55:25.840
like i gotta say words but i can't say anything that makes sense so i'll just put these words together
00:55:31.040
in sentences right this this i would i would call this a strong tell i mean this doesn't even look
00:55:40.000
like he's lying it looks like it broke his brain what happens when you realize that the entire time
00:55:47.440
your side was the bad guys you know that ted lou knows at this point that the party he belongs to
00:55:56.640
corrupted the republic intentionally and they got caught now it wasn't illegal apparently but it was
00:56:04.640
the most unethical immoral weasel thing that i've seen in a long time and that's his party and he was
00:56:12.720
an active member of you know the party that did that yeah he even had kale in his word salad very
00:56:20.000
good he actually used the word kale in his word salad talk about a simulation tell there you go
00:56:28.800
now i came up with a new word i call it twitter splaining you've heard of mansplaining here's
00:56:35.440
twitter splaining and let me do it for you and you have to do it as if you're so arrogant you think
00:56:41.920
the person you're explaining this to somehow is hearing it for the first time so let me let me twitter
00:56:52.560
gotta get in character a little bit let me get in character
00:57:03.680
twitter twitter is a private company do you know what private means right like not the government
00:57:16.160
you get that does everybody understand that twitter is a private private company okay now do you maggots
00:57:25.680
understand that their free speech applies to the government
00:57:34.480
how about that put that in your pipe yeah no so you were talking about twitter a private company
00:57:42.880
and but but freedom of speech that's about that's about the government and so i think i've explained that
00:58:00.560
and now i'd like to do my impression of newt gingrich
00:58:05.360
making a complete asshole out of that guy right and now my impression of newt gingrich from his
00:58:12.640
appearance on tucker last i think it was was it tucker or laura igram i think laura igram
00:58:18.160
what a big corporation colludes with the government we have a word for that fascism
00:58:36.560
that's the literal definition of fascism a private company and a government colluding against the citizens
00:59:02.960
i think i'm going to go with the history professor on this one
00:59:09.920
that what we've learned about twitter which falls into the category of exactly what you
00:59:18.240
thought was happening would you agree that that characterization is fair that what we know about twitter
00:59:26.160
is exactly what you thought was happening because it looked exactly like that was happening
00:59:36.640
do you have any question about whether google and its youtube part um and facebook are doing the same
00:59:45.120
thing is there any question in your mind that they're doing the same thing no of course
00:59:52.480
uh respecting the law against free speech perpetrated by an extra government
01:00:06.320
yeah now remember my theme for today individuals are presumed innocent
01:00:13.440
jack dorsey i presume him innocent i could change my mind
01:00:17.920
later if there's different information but he's presumed innocent even though there's no legal he's not in a
01:00:24.000
legal process but just uh you know ethically he's presumed innocent
01:00:30.000
but is is google and youtube and facebook are they presumed innocent
01:00:35.600
no no they're presumed guilty and at this point a reasonable person has to assume that they're not
01:00:44.240
they're not on the side of america that they're they are a fascist organization
01:00:49.280
involved in a fascist process i i don't think that's hyperbole is it if the definition of fascism
01:00:58.000
is the corporations and the government working together against the will of the citizens
01:01:05.120
we're looking at it we're looking right at it there's no way to spin that is there it's just that's what it is
01:01:11.840
all right so yes you should assume that youtube uh hi youtube i know you're watching me right now
01:01:19.520
um so my live streams get uh demonetized fairly regularly and then you have to you know ask for
01:01:27.760
it to be undemonetized and then it does because there was nothing there to be in the there was nothing
01:01:33.600
there to get it demonetized it just gets demonetized based on topic i think so uh so they're actually
01:01:41.280
watching me right now like literally somebody at youtube watches this live stream because we know
01:01:48.320
that because it gets demonetized so quickly and and so i'm actually in effect talking to the person
01:01:57.440
who almost certainly is a fascist isn't that interesting like for sure like there's a fascist
01:02:06.560
a youtube probably at least one who's actually watching me right now and knows for sure that
01:02:13.600
they're working with the government of the united states to you know do you boost some accounts
01:02:21.360
and they're probably sitting there thinking i'm a fascist that doesn't sound good i better look up the
01:02:28.720
definition of a fascist but if you do look up the definition of a fascist and i say this to you
01:02:34.640
uh whoever's watching me at youtube right now just look it up i'm not making it up it's when when a
01:02:43.200
private company and the government work together against the interests of the people that's what it is
01:02:50.080
so just let me say this to whoever at youtube is watching this right now
01:02:55.760
just think about your life just ask yourself who you are and who you want to be seriously
01:03:04.960
who do you want to be in this world do you want to be a fascist does that feel comfortable
01:03:12.720
would you rather be now i don't know if you're american because you could be in another country
01:03:16.720
but do you want to be on the side of reducing legitimate political speech is that who you want to be
01:03:22.960
because if you de-boost my voice you're not really on the side of the people any people
01:03:31.520
and so i'm speaking to you directly just consider who you are and who you want to be that's all i'm
01:03:38.480
going to ask of you i'm not going to ask you to treat me differently i just want you to be
01:03:44.720
confident in who you are and who you want to be that's all i'll ask and i'll let that fall out wherever
01:03:51.520
it is all right um musk was asked uh on twitter if there were any candidates running for office
01:04:03.200
that we know were shadow banned and musk said yes and apparently we'll find out
01:04:12.960
just just hold that in your head for a moment and and youtube whoever's watching this at uh you know
01:04:22.080
for youtube you hold that in your head that we know for sure that at least at twitter there were
01:04:30.000
candidates legal candidates for office who were shadow banned on twitter now of course you're doing
01:04:37.520
it here too um not you personally maybe whoever you are at youtube that i'm talking to but you're part
01:04:43.920
of that process how does that make you feel now i get that maybe you preferred a certain side
01:04:53.520
yeah i understand that and i respect it because your opinion is valuable and you should you should hold
01:05:00.160
your opinion but just ask yourself if you think you're improving the country this way you know of all
01:05:08.800
the things you could do to make the world a better place is this it is reducing the legitimate speech of
01:05:16.240
40 of america is that is that where you want to be does that make you feel good at the end of the day
01:05:24.240
all right um i updated updated my hoax list uh it was 18 two days ago and we've already added
01:05:35.040
uh a couple so uh now the question of whether twitter does does or does not shadow ban
01:05:44.480
is now settled yes they shadow banned they might have called this something else but there's no question
01:05:50.880
any more that it happened um and i'm just going to go out and just say this out loud
01:06:01.120
given what we've seen recently where the theme of exactly what you you your worst suspicion was
01:06:08.800
actually true if we keep seeing that our worst suspicions are true with one topic after another
01:06:15.360
i'm gonna go back and revise my opinions on aliens pizza gate and the 2020 election
01:06:25.920
i mean right on the edge i have said all three of those things are non-valid topics i've said aliens
01:06:33.360
i don't think they're real i don't think they're real i mean i'd love to be wrong about that i've said
01:06:39.280
the pizza gate from the from the first from the first minute of pizza gate i said no that's not real
01:06:46.160
that's not real if anybody wants to fact check that you'll find that i said it wasn't real from the
01:06:51.600
first second now and also the 2020 election i accepted i accepted because i haven't seen evidence
01:07:00.160
until today that there was you know an obvious problem now the rasmussen poll that shows that
01:07:08.240
the people who believe they voted for one person were maybe surprised at the outcome uh because it looks
01:07:14.640
like at least from a statistical polling perspective it looks like there was a big issue in arizona
01:07:21.200
yeah uh so we've got a total collapse of trust where and by the way i'm not joking about this
01:07:31.680
does this sound like a joke i'll say it again so you know it's not joking this is so unsettling that
01:07:38.640
everything you imagined is true that i literally no joke will reconsider aliens pizza gate and the 2020
01:07:46.640
election three things that i dismissed as you know not worthy of my attention all right
01:07:56.400
yeah don't get me started on evolution all right um adam schiff
01:08:05.200
uh he said this in a tweet to musk he said hey elon under your leadership neo-nazis homophobes
01:08:12.320
and racists are flocking to twitter and spewing hate speech um
01:08:20.560
and then musk responded that his speech is like down 30 percent so literally shift did what shift
01:08:29.920
does he just made up something and then presented it as truth except musk's credibility is so high right
01:08:38.000
now that if musk says in 10 minutes now that's not true who are you going to believe
01:08:46.240
who are you going to believe right musk of course so here's what you need to know um it's always useful
01:08:54.000
to know the teams one of the one of the ways you can tell what's really happening in the world
01:08:59.360
is to identify the teams to know who plays on what like who does what role and what on their team
01:09:06.640
and when the democrats need somebody to change a story in the news and they need to just lie to get
01:09:14.640
it done there's no other way to do it they always go to schiff he's their designated liar
01:09:20.800
that's not a joke he's the designated liar he's the one that will go on and say something that's
01:09:27.840
completely not true whereas your other politicians might want to shade things or use hyperbole
01:09:34.640
they might might want to leave out some context you know basically normal stuff but shift will just
01:09:40.720
make up a fact he'll just say i saw something that he didn't see like that's a whole different level of
01:09:46.240
lying than what you normally see like when trump lies he looks like the you know the bullshitted salesperson
01:09:53.760
and and unless you're an idiot you know what he's doing because he tells you directly he tells you yeah
01:09:59.120
i use hyperbole to get things done but when shift lies that's a whole different thing he's he's just
01:10:04.800
making up a story to change something not in the best direction so when you see john brennan clapper
01:10:13.200
or adam schiff those are the three designated liars they use them for that purpose so when you see them
01:10:21.040
there you go um let's see what was the story about harry reed oh sam uh britman
01:10:38.080
so you know the uh the individual sam britman who i don't know exactly how he identifies is it
01:10:45.360
non-binary he's got he's got the shaved head he works in the the nuclear energy area of or is it
01:10:52.800
weapons nuclear weapons area of the government and he was accused of because he was seen on video of
01:11:00.800
stealing somebody's expensive bag off an airport carousel and was later allegedly seen wearing the
01:11:08.000
clothes from that bag well it turns out he's alleged to have done the same crime twice
01:11:13.120
once at another airport and probably they have it on video
01:11:28.560
and you know what the funny thing is that have you ever lost a bag when you're traveling
01:11:34.480
you ever have your your luggage missing has that happened to any of you because that's happened to me
01:11:39.200
uh but if it happened recently i'd be googling pictures of sam brentman just to see if he's
01:11:46.800
wearing my any of my clothes like that that's how you find out uh my the house where i grew up once got
01:11:55.680
robbed you know a burglar came into the house and robbed a bunch of stuff and the way the burglar was
01:12:02.160
caught was uh i saw him wearing my father's clothes one day
01:12:08.640
true story i was i'm just a kid in the car and i'm yeah walk we're driving past somebody who was
01:12:18.240
he was actually wearing my father's shirt and so he was caught anyway um
01:12:38.880
did i miss anything was there any story i missed
01:12:47.520
now let's put it all together pull it all together
01:12:54.000
sam bankman freed is an american citizen and while it certainly looks like he did something
01:13:02.240
suspicious he is innocent until proven guilty because he's an american citizen
01:13:13.840
sketchy situation doesn't it he's an american citizen he is innocent unless proven guilty
01:13:43.920
let me just say it directly my operating assumption is that the 2020 election was rigged
01:13:54.640
or no i don't have direct proof i do have evidence
01:14:00.000
and i'm generalizing from the other the other experiences
01:14:06.160
so the the rule that i use all the time is that if it's possible to get away with something like you
01:14:13.200
have a good chance of getting away with something you shouldn't be doing there's a really high
01:14:17.520
chance that the the benefits will be tremendous either power or money and there are lots of people involved so
01:14:26.800
there's always going to be somebody sketchy if there's lots of people and you've waited enough time
01:14:33.040
right so if you have all of those variables enough time is going by
01:14:36.960
enough people are involved the benefit of cheating is amazing and the odds of getting away with it are really good
01:15:03.280
a huge benefit if you could get away with it it's been a situation for a long time
01:15:07.920
a lot of people are involved you could probably get away with it
01:15:21.760
so the only thing i'm not sure of is if it's happened yet
01:15:25.600
but it's going to happen if hasn't and and certainly the overwhelming likelihood is that the election was
01:15:32.080
rigged in some way now i'm not saying i know that it was rigged enough to change the
01:15:39.360
there's no i don't have that information there there's certainly an indication of that
01:15:48.720
don't know it as a fact now it's still true that no court no court has shown proof that the 2020 election was rigged
01:16:00.240
who who can recognize patterns but more importantly you can recognize causes right when i when i say those rules
01:16:07.440
about you know if there's time and people and opportunity and the big upside that's not just a pattern
01:16:14.160
it's also a pattern that repeats every time but it's a direct cause and effect statement where you can say oh
01:16:20.480
there's the engine that's the exact engine that drives that that that engine was in place
01:16:25.680
and that can cause these things and it does it every time
01:16:28.000
now was any of it illegal i don't know it's premature to say that but it certainly happened
01:16:37.520
i mean let me let me just say this statistically let me put it in the safest way
01:16:43.040
if you're a citizen of this country and you're paying attention
01:16:48.400
you can do any kind of pattern recognition and you have any understanding of how the world works
01:16:53.360
the reasonable assumption is that the 2020 election was rigged
01:16:59.920
what do you think i think i will now i'll probably be demonetized i'm probably getting demonetized right
01:17:11.120
now am i youtube if i'm being demonetized it means you're watching me right now let me find out
01:17:29.520
i will ask the one person who knows the answer to this demonetized yet
01:17:39.280
because it's being monitored right now i'll have an answer probably in half a minute
01:17:44.000
what do you think do you think i'm demonetized or do you think that would be just too on the nose
01:17:51.600
so like today will be the day it doesn't happen yeah there's a good chance that today's the day
01:17:56.640
it doesn't happen because i made too much of a big deal about it
01:18:02.720
but i'll tell you in a moment now often it will be demonetized as soon as it ends
01:18:07.680
so that's another possibility it's possible it's not demonetized but the moment i get off it might
01:18:20.000
jim baker cooking the books oh the guy who cooked the books was named baker
01:18:27.360
i'm not sure he cooked the books but i see where you're going with that
01:18:37.680
what do you think what do you think do you think i'm demonetized or not
01:18:46.960
i am demonetized yeah i'm demonetized right now so you could you can watch the fascism happen
01:18:53.520
right in front of you this is fascism you're experiencing it right now and by the way there's
01:19:00.080
there's no ambiguity about this so i have a confirmation that i'm demonetized
01:19:07.200
by a private company who is not doing it for their own benefit do you think do you think google is
01:19:13.760
doing it because google's profits would go better if i as a well-informed adult citizen of this country
01:19:22.000
question the sketchiness in a context where everything is sketchy do you think that that helped
01:19:29.200
google's profit i don't see how in fact if it's provocative it helps her profit the only reason
01:19:37.120
that they would do it would be why would i be demonetized because the government wants it
01:19:43.760
can you think of another reason because i i can't see any argument well the cursing would be an excuse
01:19:50.880
but my my videos in which i curse all the time are not demonetized so they do not have a pattern of
01:19:59.680
demonetizing me only for cursing that's that's not a thing because those are the ones that get reversed
01:20:07.680
so there's actually somebody at youtube presumably who actually listened to my presentation listen to
01:20:17.040
me talk to them directly and demonetize me while i'm right in front of you like right in front of you
01:20:24.800
this just happened everything you fucking believed was happening was true it was all true
01:20:37.360
now i still have questions about aliens uh and pizza gate but uh you know you're what you're watching me
01:20:47.040
being victimized by fascism right now like in real time you're experiencing it
01:20:54.240
how does that feel how does it feel to know you're in a fascist country you don't have to wonder now
01:21:05.120
all right well youtube i'm going to say bye to you i've got some more comments for the
01:21:12.000
locals people who are subscribers so they get the good stuff and i will talk to you tomorrow
