Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1952 Scott Adams： Everything You Suspected About Twitter Was True And Worse Than You Thought

00:00:00.000 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 1.00

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

00:03:19.280 um have you connected the dots

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

00:05:28.400 today's news maybe could be

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 0.98

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

00:21:05.200 2023 that's my prediction

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

00:21:29.520 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 0.78

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 1.00

00:23:20.320 choice of who to bring back the adult white male who served this country as a marine or the black 0.90

00:23:28.240 lesbian uh basketball player uh the the spokesperson said that they valued her being black and lesbian 0.97

00:23:37.200 and so they picked her

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 1.00

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 1.00

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 1.00

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 1.00

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 1.00

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 0.95

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

00:25:59.680 person

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 0.99

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 0.96

00:27:04.080 fucking die there oh by the way did you know that he was a trump supporter did anybody mention that 0.99

00:27:10.160 that the one that they're fucking is a trump supporter yeah now that's an impeachable offense 1.00

00:27:20.640 that's an impeachable offense the administration went full racist and didn't hide it they didn't 1.00

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 0.99

00:27:33.440 other reason that they left him there then besides the fact that he's in you know a trump supporter 0.99

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 0.97

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 0.98

00:28:23.360 nothing okay in your wildest imagination can you imagine trump leaving him there now trump would have 1.00

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 0.94

00:28:43.040 he would have picked up lavrov wherever he fucking is that's what he would have done he would have 0.99

00:28:48.880 locked up their fucking foreign minister tell me you wouldn't you tell me you wouldn't do that yeah 0.98

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 0.99

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 1.00

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 0.98

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 0.93

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

00:30:46.800 all right um

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

00:35:01.920 were um charlie kirk

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

00:35:37.600 how bad will i feel if i wasn't

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 0.81

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

00:39:32.400 and that the information we have confirms that

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

00:41:18.080 used the tool in an inappropriate way

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

00:41:50.720 and that's what we know

00:41:55.120 we do know that twitter's official you know whatever their official tweeting account is said

00:42:01.280 unambiguously it said we do not shadow ban

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

00:45:56.160 um i'm going to double down

00:46:01.360 while also admitting that i could be wrong

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 1.00

00:47:16.080 he probably wishes he could go in there with a machine gun and just just like kill them all right 0.99

00:47:22.320 now that's not fair i don't want to put any speculate about other people's internal thoughts 0.99

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

00:49:21.920 all right i guess i missed it a long time ago

00:49:26.640 all right what else did we learn here

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 0.61

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

00:56:48.880 explain for you

00:56:52.560 gotta get in character a little bit let me get in character 0.95

00:57:01.440 let me explain to you maggots

00:57:03.680 twitter twitter is a private company do you know what private means right like not the government 0.96

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

00:57:50.480 away for you

00:57:55.040 and c

00:58:00.560 and now i'd like to do my impression of newt gingrich 0.93

00:58:05.360 making a complete asshole out of that guy right and now my impression of newt gingrich from his 0.97

00:58:12.640 appearance on tucker last i think it was was it tucker or laura igram i think laura igram 0.99

00:58:18.160 what a big corporation colludes with the government we have a word for that fascism 1.00

00:58:36.560 that's the literal definition of fascism a private company and a government colluding against the citizens

00:58:45.120 that's exactly what happened

00:58:51.600 and see

00:58:54.080 so pick your politicians twitter splinters or

00:59:00.000 history professors

00:59:02.960 i think i'm going to go with the history professor on this one

00:59:08.160 um do you believe

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

00:59:30.480 okay yes second question

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

00:59:56.880 organization and they asked twitter to do it

01:00:01.200 okay

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 0.50

01:09:14.640 it done there's no other way to do it they always go to schiff he's their designated liar 0.78

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 0.97

01:09:46.240 lying than what you normally see like when trump lies he looks like the you know the bullshitted salesperson 1.00

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 0.99

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 0.99

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

01:11:20.720 and

01:11:20.960 so so that's happening uh

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

01:12:14.640 chopping some wood i'm like that's your shirt

01:12:18.240 he was actually wearing my father's shirt and so he was caught anyway um

01:12:31.600 what else is going on here god what a day

01:12:38.560 uh

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

01:13:09.280 jack dorsey looks like it's

01:13:13.840 sketchy situation doesn't it he's an american citizen he is innocent unless proven guilty

01:13:23.200 but twitter itself guilty as 0.99

01:13:25.520 fuck google youtube guilty as 1.00

01:13:30.560 congress guilty as 1.00

01:13:32.560 fuck all of them uh ftx the company guilty as 1.00

01:13:37.840 fuck 1.00

01:13:39.280 right so yes as soon in the election you 0.99

01:13:43.920 let me just say it directly my operating assumption is that the 2020 election was rigged

01:13:51.760 i do not have direct evidence of that

01:13:54.640 or no i don't have direct proof i do have evidence

01:13:58.240 because the the rasmussen poll

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

01:14:45.200 under those conditions

01:14:47.680 bad things happen 100 of the time

01:14:50.160 eventually not on day one

01:14:53.120 but 100 of the time

01:14:56.080 and and we see that exact situation

01:14:58.960 with the 2020 election the 2020 election was

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

01:15:14.160 it's guaranteed

01:15:16.720 under those conditions it happens every time

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

01:15:37.600 result

01:15:39.360 there's no i don't have that information there there's certainly an indication of that

01:15:44.400 the the rasmussen poll but

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

01:15:56.880 it's just that as an informed citizen

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

01:16:57.920 will i still be on social media tomorrow

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

01:17:19.840 let me ask the question

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

01:18:13.280 be demonetized

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

01:18:32.080 all right i have a response

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 0.83

01:20:24.800 this just happened everything you fucking believed was happening was true it was all true 0.93

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 0.98

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

01:21:02.080 interesting

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
