thing that makes everything better everything it's called the simultaneous sip it happens now go
00:01:00.160
and a special welcome to any clot birds who still don't know they were the victims of a hoax
00:01:11.040
hoax a double hoax you got hoax by once by 4chan and reddit and then once by me you got double
00:01:20.980
hoaxed you're the most hoaxed group in america double hoaxed good for you
00:01:28.460
um here's a trivia question for you during the time when slavery was legal in america
00:01:37.060
named two presidents who did not own slaves did not own slaves while it was still legal
00:01:47.740
both of them were named adams right john adams and john quincy adams the two presidents who did
00:01:59.180
not own slaves back when it was legal in fact john adams famously defended a slave
00:02:05.340
as his free attorney yes uh so my cousins uh have always been on the side of the right
00:02:14.580
um now there's a video of me that's going around in which i said in no uncertain terms
00:02:24.440
uh that based on opinion polls from rasmussen uh about half of black americans don't think it's
00:02:34.320
cool to be white it's just not okay to be white so since i've designated that to be a hate group
00:02:40.360
black americans a hate group collectively not every individual obviously anything i say about a group
00:02:46.980
you're all smart enough to know that doesn't apply to all individuals right you know that right
00:02:53.740
if i say that most of the presidents until obama or all of my guests were white
00:03:01.760
that doesn't mean i was the president you get that right you can talk about groups and it doesn't
00:03:10.420
mean anything about any individual so if i say that black americans are a hate group does that mean i
00:03:17.980
don't like my neighbor who is black and a doctor oh he's great i love that guy has nothing to do with
00:03:26.600
individuals i've made no comment about individuals i love black individuals right so and all kinds of
00:03:37.900
individuals so as an individual i'm always going to you know treat you as an individual whether i want
00:03:44.020
to date you have sex with you hire you work with you talk to you it's always going to be with the
00:03:49.840
individualist i've never had any i don't think i've ever had any negative interactions with any black
00:03:55.940
american in my life or any black you know any nationality but it is nonetheless true that uh white
00:04:03.920
people trying to help black america for decades and decades has completely failed and we should just
00:04:09.420
stop doing it because all we got all we got is called racists basically there was no payoff i i think
00:04:16.240
what finally pushed me over the edge was finding out that the school systems in our you know a lot of our
00:04:24.320
inner cities they're graduating zero people who could read and do math zero and you know as i've said
00:04:35.500
before the only strategy that works for any group in america is focusing on education if that's not your
00:04:44.220
top focus i don't want to help you let me say that as clearly as possible if if education is not your
00:04:52.600
primary focus now i get that it's hard to do but if it's not your primary focus i don't want to have
00:04:59.040
anything to do with you helping you improve helping you succeed reparations nothing i'm not i don't even
00:05:07.020
want to have a conversation like who who is the who is the most notable black leader pushing education as a
00:05:16.300
way to improve the life of black americans who who's that person somebody said ben carson maybe
00:05:22.580
yeah probably probably somebody said bill bill cosby okay i hate the fact that that's true
00:05:29.840
i hate the fact that that's true i think it's true that bill cosby was big on education wasn't he
00:05:36.400
yeah tim scott good but you know you're also you're mentioning politicians who are more famous just for
00:05:45.220
being you know generally politicians but but who's the who's the black leader who just is known as the
00:05:53.080
education person now you're you're mentioning a lot of people like thomas soul who was excellent
00:05:59.760
um ben carson obama yeah they all say it but it's not really a focus is it if you tell me that any of
00:06:08.480
them are famous as making it their focus i would say maybe famous to a very small number of people
00:06:15.320
but there's nobody who's really you know the brand for that yeah larry elder i mean i'm sure every
00:06:23.680
every black leader has talked about education but it's not really talked about like a focus is it
00:06:31.340
how much did we talk about um george floyd versus education i'm just not even close right so anybody who
00:06:44.440
doesn't focus on education i i don't want to help them i'm out completely out but just just to
00:06:53.600
be completely clear it has nothing to do with individuals right i love individuals of all types
00:07:02.540
always have that's not changing it's just if we're going to treat groups as groups uh i'm going to say
00:07:10.380
well here let me say this the lgbt group if it's sort of weird to throw such different people in the same
00:07:17.900
group but lgbt people in america huge success am i right have you ever said to yourself i don't want
00:07:28.080
to go into that gay neighborhood because of all the of all the crime and littering you've never heard
00:07:34.740
that you've never heard that nope not at all so you know you can talk about groups and say some
00:07:43.680
things that maybe you're a little bit useful but you know doesn't have anything to do with individuals
00:07:49.140
all right have you been to atlanta all right so uh and you know how the world works because i said
00:08:01.860
something provocative that literally everyone agrees with which is if you're white don't live in a black
00:08:08.760
neighborhood it's too dangerous and half of the people there will think it's not okay to be white
00:08:14.300
according to the recent poll that would be crazy so here predictably a white uh a white man comes after
00:08:24.920
me on twitter and says oh you're telling me i should get away from my black family members
00:08:32.100
does that sound like something i would say that you should get away from your black family members
00:08:40.300
i'm assuming in-laws i don't know that's stupid that's stupid and then i asked him do you live in
00:08:48.660
a mostly black neighborhood i didn't wait for the answer because i don't have to because the people who
00:08:56.460
are going to come after me all agree with me there's not a single one of those white people who are
00:09:02.780
going to be you know what do you call it signaling socially signaling they're going to come after me to
00:09:08.860
socially single but they don't live in black neighborhoods they're taking my advice that's all
00:09:15.900
i'm saying am i saying that you know this one individual's probably a sister-in-law or something like
00:09:23.140
that am i saying that his sister law sister-in-law sucks because she's black no no i don't even know
00:09:31.120
your sister-in-law don't even know her of course not i'll even go further i'm not sure that black
00:09:39.220
women are even part of the question because you know i don't see a a ton of danger from black women
00:09:46.920
i mean you see videos of them fighting and stuff usually it's women fighting with other women most of the
00:09:52.460
time but and it's not it's not old black people it's not senior citizens it's not it's not toddlers
00:10:02.160
so it's not even about black americans it's about youngish black males for whatever reason
00:10:13.120
it's a dangerous situation you should just stay away but if any individual young black man comes to
00:10:21.080
ask for a job should be fully considered with no bias if you can manage it so yeah don't and don't
00:10:29.000
discriminate against individuals don't do that but helping as a group would be ridiculous at this
00:10:34.880
point did you see the video of biden falling up the stairs of air force one he's going up the stairs
00:10:42.620
and suddenly goes down to all fours but fairly quickly he got back up now i believe that's been
00:10:49.700
misinterpreted because what i saw was it looked like he was starting to change into a werewolf
00:10:58.180
you know how that works right you'll be walking along and all of a sudden
00:11:01.920
and you get on to all fours but then i think he caught himself because he realized he wasn't
00:11:09.500
at the entrance to the plane yet he's like oh and then once he gets back on the jet he's like
00:11:17.120
back into werewolf mode i mean that's just a guess i wouldn't put any money on it but
00:11:23.880
that's just my interpretation i don't know like that's just what i saw
00:11:28.460
all right um rasmussen did some polling about uh nikki haley see how she would do
00:11:38.360
in the presidential race if she ran against biden and also how she would do in primaries
00:11:44.620
interestingly she would beat biden in a head-to-head how about that
00:11:52.780
uh so interestingly i think i lost the signal here for a moment
00:11:58.820
but according to rasmussen polls uh in a three-way contest for the gop nomination
00:12:06.300
between trump haley and desantis now it won't be a three-way probably but
00:12:18.500
52 percent of republicans would choose trump if it were a three-way between desantis and
00:12:29.240
i will allow you to think naughty thoughts that's not what i intend
00:12:35.620
but once i said it i realized okay that's what you're thinking
00:12:40.000
so you're allowed you may think naughty sexual thoughts when i say a three-way competition
00:12:45.220
go ahead do it you know you want to uh anyway so yeah trump would get 52 percent in the primary
00:12:54.520
28 percent would say haley and 24 would say desantis
00:13:01.600
now that i assume that's because the trump votes and the desantis votes are a little bit
00:13:09.460
fungible like those are the ones that can go either way more easily
00:13:13.100
whereas the nikki haley votes are probably an anti-trump vote
00:13:17.840
does that make sense so under that dynamic you can see how haley would be slightly more than desantis
00:13:26.740
if it were a three-way it doesn't mean it would be that if it were a two-way
00:13:31.760
if it were a two-way between uh nikki haley and desantis
00:13:36.480
i think the trump votes would go mostly to desantis
00:13:39.980
i think i think it would be two to one probably two to one desantis but i don't know
00:13:46.400
because i was actually surprised by this result and it's also super early you know you can't make
00:13:53.040
too much of the polls at this point all right but more interestingly
00:13:56.920
if nikki haley went up against joe biden head-to-head in a hypothetical matchup
00:14:06.080
45 percent of likely u.s voters would vote for haley and 41 percent for biden
00:14:14.720
what do you think of that does that sound legitimate because i wonder if nikki haley would
00:14:23.320
pick up some of the uh you know the person of color or woman vote just automatically
00:14:30.740
because that's how it works right no matter what you are you sort of pick up that group
00:14:36.280
at least some of them automatically and we we don't end up we don't typically have republicans
00:14:43.400
running for office who can sort of automatically get any democrat votes just by being who they
00:14:49.480
are that doesn't work that way so it would be interesting to have a a person of color uh running
00:14:57.220
as a republican speaking of which we'll talk about uh um ramaswami in a bit all right i could not be
00:15:05.300
more amused or interested in the latest joe rogan uh conversation with eric weinstein how many of
00:15:13.480
you saw that talking about ufos that was one of the most interesting conversations it was super
00:15:20.840
interesting but i'll give you i'll give you the part that i loved so according to eric there is some
00:15:27.280
governmental group top secret governmental group who has as long ago as three years ago i believe
00:15:36.760
started offering to eric and also to sam harris that they could personally be taken to a secret
00:15:45.400
government facility to see what eric supposes might be something in the ufo domain but you know the the
00:15:56.280
the actual topic of what uh the government wants to show them is not disclosed so there's there's an
00:16:04.040
assumption happening here that it's about aliens but i think that's just short of being confirmed
00:16:10.120
now here's the funny part apparently there have been a number of back and forths
00:16:16.120
in which the offer was made hey we'll take you to see this top secret stuff and then it would fall apart
00:16:24.520
and then they'd come back oh we mean it this time we're really going to show you this stuff
00:16:28.520
and then they'd say yes and they'd be planning to do it and then something would change and they'd delay
00:16:39.000
so they've never seen anything but for three years they've been teased now here's the funny part
00:16:45.560
sam harris bowed down after the third one so after the third time they said they were going to do
00:16:51.000
it and they changed their minds or they delayed sam harris said i think he just called bs on it yeah
00:16:56.360
now uh eric is still interested and i don't know it would be hard not to be interested
00:17:03.240
because if they ever come through and actually show him something it'd be interesting but here's my
00:17:08.280
question to you just on the surface you don't know anything about the situation except what i tell you
00:17:17.400
and here's what i'm going to tell you of all the people on the planet earth
00:17:22.040
that the top secret organization wanted to show their ufos they chose sam harris and eric weinstein
00:17:41.240
how is that not funny just on the surface just and by the way i'm not making fun of the two individuals
00:17:47.720
the two individuals i like a lot i like sam harris i like brett weinstein even if i don't
00:17:53.640
agree with them on different things they're both they're both very serious you know american patriotic
00:18:00.440
um you know good citizens they're good people very smart meanwhile yeah i have only positive thoughts
00:18:06.360
about both of them but i think it's hilarious that the two of them entertained the concept
00:18:12.360
that they would be allowed the secret peek at the ufos
00:18:18.760
now let me tell you this do you know how a prank like the best prank is organized do you know how to
00:18:26.040
do that let me tell you i think i've explained this before the best kind of prank is the one that
00:18:33.000
wouldn't be believed by anybody except the subject of the prank the target so let me give you an example
00:18:39.400
let's say you had a friend who believed he or she uh to be quite beautiful but the rest of you
00:18:47.880
not so much you were thinking well maybe you think you're beautiful and it's good that you have a
00:18:53.400
good high opinion of yourself but maybe not now if there were a person in your life like that who
00:18:59.560
believed they were beautiful but objectively didn't seem like it a prank on that person would be
00:19:05.960
um a model agency is calling you because although you do not have standard beauty you have exactly
00:19:14.600
the kind of beauty that's in vogue and we want to make a major a major magazine you know pictorial of
00:19:21.880
you now what would make this a funny prank is that nobody in the world would believe it's true
00:19:30.200
except the one who got pranked they're the only one who thinks that's plausible now take this back to
00:19:43.000
and by the way this prank would have worked on me so easily right i'm glad i'm glad it didn't happen to
00:19:49.080
me but imagine coming to me it's the same problem right it's an ego problem imagine coming to me some
00:19:56.680
government agency and they say scott you're the only person in the country we trust to show you our ufos
00:20:05.800
and i'd say why why would i be that person and they say well we've been listening to you on social
00:20:13.320
media and you say such smart and unbiased things that we think you're the best messenger to tell the
00:20:20.280
world about it what would i do in that situation if that were a prank what would i do oh i would fall
00:20:30.200
for that so hard i i would fall through the floor for that prank why because it's right on the nose
00:20:38.040
of what i would want to believe right it's sort of it's sort of like it makes me look good so of
00:20:44.200
course i want to believe it well that makes perfect sense of all the people in the united states they've
00:20:50.120
been watching me on twitter yes yes that's that's got to be it and and all of my wise tweets have have
00:20:57.640
finally put me in a position where i alone can see the secrets of the ufos when do i buy my plane ticket
00:21:05.080
when do i buy my plane ticket i want to go now now if it turns out that we have captured alien spaceships
00:21:16.360
or dead aliens or benny at alive in cages and it turns out that eric sees them and takes some pictures
00:21:25.960
and tells the world about them then i'm wrong about everything however this has all the hallmarks
00:21:34.200
of a very good prank i don't know i don't know but if i had to if i had to choose between we have a ufo
00:21:45.000
in custody and the two people that the government wanted to see at first were sam and eric
00:21:53.240
i think i'm going to go with prank as being a little bit more likely there is however one other
00:22:00.120
possibility and i can't tell you the details but i will tell you that years ago a person in a uh
00:22:14.680
sensitive government um department i guess you call it oh i'll be vague i'll call it a department
00:22:23.400
an area of the government uh asked if i wanted to have a preview of the government's most secret
00:22:32.040
knowledge about a topic that i won't mention right so i won't mention the topic but i was i was asked
00:22:40.840
if i wanted to see the the biggest secrets of the government things that you would love to know
00:22:46.280
trust me you would love to know and it was all bullshit because i did say yes and i did go look
00:22:56.600
and it was all bullshit in my opinion now that the person who was in charge of it did not think it was
00:23:03.880
bullshit the person in charge believed that they had found something of value and i listened to it and
00:23:10.040
i listened to the evidence and i said to myself no so the other possibility is that it's not a prank on
00:23:20.600
sam harris and brett weinstein it's possible that the government has something and they don't know what
00:23:25.560
it is like it could be like a you know a piece of metal that they can't identify and and that in their
00:23:34.040
minds they've built it up to be more than it is which is just something they can't identify
00:23:38.200
so my guess is they keep thinking they have a ufo and then they're going to show some people but the
00:23:45.880
more they think about it maybe they just have a piece of metal that they can't identify right it might
00:23:52.440
it might be just something like that where they think they have something but they don't
00:23:57.800
so again we're just speculating can't read minds but i'll tell you what i would not bet on
00:24:03.400
i would not bet on we have any captured ufos and the government wanted sam harris and brett weinstein
00:24:11.160
to see it first that that feels unlikely do you know why that's unlikely because obviously they
00:24:18.760
would have asked me to see it first am i right all right that was sarcasm all right um i love that
00:24:29.240
story that's so good speaking of sam harris he uh he's getting a lot of trouble by saying something
00:24:39.160
that i say so of course i'm going to defend him on this because he's he says exactly what i say and
00:24:47.080
he's getting all kinds of internet trouble so he's even he's even trending sam harris is on twitter today
00:24:52.680
and he quit twitter so so one way to trend on twitter is to quit twitter so here's what he said
00:24:59.000
this is it well i think he said this it's it's it's a quote i didn't see it on video but it sounds
00:25:05.960
like he would have said it so i believe it's true uh so here's a quote from sam harris during the pandemic
00:25:12.600
we witnessed the birth of a new religion of contrarianism and conspiracy thinking the first
00:25:18.280
sacrament of which is to quote do your own research does that sound familiar it goes on
00:25:26.920
the problem is that very few people are qualified to do this research and the result is a society
00:25:33.320
driven by strongly held unfounded opinions on everything from vaccine safety to the war in ukraine
00:25:41.480
agree or disagree that's not word salad you're kidding you're you're in cognitive dissonance if it
00:25:48.040
sounds like word salad this is completely clear this is very clear all right here's why i agree with
00:25:57.160
him he did not exclude himself from the category of people who can't do their own research and get a good
00:26:03.880
answer right he did not say this is a skill i have but you don't have it
00:26:12.120
that now if he had then we'd have something to quibble with but if he's saying none of us have that you
00:26:20.760
know except very rarely somebody in the field then then i'm on board with that completely yeah no nobody
00:26:29.080
has that skill and even the most uh the most qualified people in the field often don't have it
00:26:36.920
we see this all the time yeah so does that sound like i might have influenced that opinion
00:26:47.240
i'm just asking because you know i've been saying exactly this for like three years i've said it out
00:26:54.120
loud a bunch of times yeah it's common sense so that would be the argument that i did not influence
00:27:00.440
it but the wording of it feels a little scottish so to speak all right um i'm going to try to introduce
00:27:11.560
a new uh phrase to politics and i'm going to call them uh political gooners have you ever heard that
00:27:18.360
phrase a gooner it comes from another context uh all right i want to see if anybody knows what it is
00:27:27.560
before i explain it those of you who know what it is you're revealing too much about yourselves
00:27:34.440
all right let me tell you in the uh in the naughty world of adult entertainment
00:27:40.360
when usually a man is so interested in his own self-pleasure that he takes on sort of a zombie
00:27:51.320
appearance i would give you an impression but it would be the biggest meme that ever that you ever
00:27:58.520
saw so i can't give you an impression but imagine a zombie face while the one of the hands is is busy
00:28:06.920
and you know what a gooner is like oh you know that sort of thing so but i feel like there's a political
00:28:16.600
gooner class and that's the people who believe hoaxes they're obviously not true before you research
00:28:25.080
them now i agree with sam harris that nobody's good at research even if they think they are they're not
00:28:31.320
uh but sometimes you don't need to research things to know what's true am i right let me give you an
00:28:40.200
example um if you heard a story on social media that said that joe biden was an actual cannibal
00:28:49.160
and and we're just finding out and that he eats children every night for dinner like actual living
00:28:55.880
children kills them and eats them would you need to research that that's a serious question would you
00:29:02.360
need to research that no no you don't need to research that who would believe that only a political gooder
00:29:13.400
somebody who is so busy masturbating to their own team that they could no longer think in any coherent
00:29:19.880
way right now let me give you an example that's almost like that that the gunners actually believe
00:29:27.800
they believe that the president of the united states once premeditatedly and with full intention
00:29:36.200
got in front of the country and said that neo-nazis are fine people did you have to research that
00:29:43.800
did you have to go and really look at the transcript i mean i did but not because i needed to
00:29:49.800
no it was because i was trying to unprogram the gooners but the gooners can't hear it because
00:29:57.640
you know their hand is going furiously and the brain is just turned off oh my team my team okay i'm
00:30:03.080
going to give you the meme i'm sorry i have to give you the meme it goes like this oh my team my team
00:30:13.000
my team my team okay there's your meme have fun with it have fun with it i release it to the universe
00:30:21.880
all right so how about if you heard that a president suggested drinking bleach
00:30:28.440
as a solution to covet did you need to research that no you didn't you did not need to research that
00:30:37.160
that you should not have had to research that that was clearly and obviously something that didn't
00:30:43.480
happen and if you say oh but scott uh maybe it wasn't bleach but it was a liquid disinfectant no
00:30:53.160
no you don't have to research whether he thought listerine was okay no you don't you don't have to research
00:31:00.840
that the only people who would be confused by that would be those people you couldn't possibly see
00:31:10.280
this you know on the surface and believe that you have to look into it you don't you don't have to look
00:31:18.360
into it all right political gooders um i also love the fact that the people who believe all the trump
00:31:30.840
hoaxes they start with the assumption that they're smarter than trump
00:31:37.080
and yet they fall for every hoax it's a weird assumption if you start with the assumption you're
00:31:43.560
smarter than him than anything he says that isn't what you say you say oh well it must be
00:31:50.440
racist who thinks you should drink bleach or something i don't know but if you start with the
00:31:54.520
assumption that he's an intelligent person who might who might in some cases know more than you do
00:32:02.840
we've seen examples of that if you start with that assumption the hoax just disappears
00:32:07.640
you have to assume that trump has an iq of 70 and somehow became president of the united states
00:32:15.320
anyway and apparently that's a real belief i've actually talked to intelligent successful people
00:32:25.160
who believe that trump has such a low iq that he only became president by accident
00:32:31.160
just you know a weird conflation of events that's a real opinion
00:32:39.000
how do you have that opinion there's only one way you're a political gooner for your team all right
00:32:48.440
this is funny speaking of doing your own research uh you're all aware that brett steffens steffens
00:32:54.440
stevens brett steffens from the new york times did a big article in which he
00:32:59.640
he talked about the uh new study of studies that said that masks don't work you all saw that right
00:33:07.240
so it was a big study of other studies and a paper about other studies wasn't exactly a meta meta study
00:33:14.120
but it was a sort of a review of all the science and the the conclusion was masks don't work well
00:33:21.720
kurt eichenwald also an at least an ex-new york times writer says in his tweet the new york times has
00:33:30.600
published an absolutely reckless and wrong new york times opinion piece by brett steffens about a
00:33:37.160
scientific paper he clearly did not read he allows one of the authors to state in the article quote
00:33:44.200
mass don't work for covet 19 the paper says no such thing in fact uh you know blah blah blah blah so
00:33:53.400
he goes on to say that the paper is pure garbage and uh etc now
00:34:02.440
do you believe that the new york times article from brett steffens that looked at all the science about
00:34:08.840
masks and found no evidence that they help uh do you think do you find that reliable
00:34:18.520
because you did your own research do you know that uh a lot of the studies were done before covid
00:34:25.560
did you know that they were pre-covid it wasn't even testing covid did you know a lot of the studies
00:34:32.280
were about whether you could contract it versus whether you're gonna you know breathe it out yeah
00:34:39.640
yeah we are private basically the research was garbage but the research that says masks don't work
00:34:49.080
is garbage but so is the research that says they work so do your own research you can find anything you
00:34:56.760
want you can find that they work which i've done by the way i've done my own research and i found huge
00:35:04.040
you know uh very reliable evidence that masks work i've also done my research and found that they don't
00:35:11.480
you can find both you can you can totally find both how could i tell the difference the only thing i
00:35:20.760
would say for sure is that science has not demonstrated that they work with any data that seems useful
00:35:28.920
if science at this point especially at this point if they can't prove they work
00:35:35.160
well then the question of using them is just easy right it's already a meme yeah it's just easy
00:35:43.720
anyway so i think we're all against masks but uh this is just a uh emphasis for sam harris's opinion
00:35:55.640
that doing your own research is absolutely useless it's completely useless in fact there are three
00:36:01.560
things that don't work follow the science would you agree following the science didn't work did it
00:36:09.800
i don't think it works for anything anymore how about do your own research well people who did their
00:36:16.840
own research had different answers we know that doesn't work how about listen to the experts is that
00:36:24.200
working listen to the experts no no so these are three things we all thought used to work follow the
00:36:32.920
science listen to the experts but also do your own research just you know for a double check none of
00:36:39.000
those have any evidentiary value at all none let me tell you how to know what's true it's the only
00:36:47.480
way can you engineer a product out of it that's it engineering is the only way you know if something's true
00:36:59.240
it'll take a moment for that to settle in just think about engineering is the only way you know if
00:37:04.520
something's true science doesn't give you that because science is always you know even when it's
00:37:10.280
a fact it's still subject to revision but if you're an engineer and you say okay you claim
00:37:18.120
you claim i can make a satellite all right your scientific claim is if i use this science i can make
00:37:25.000
a satellite and it can communicate with earth and maybe do gps well let's find out so i'm going to build
00:37:32.040
a satellite i'm going to put it in in the sky and see if it tells me where i am
00:37:39.240
oh that works it's true that's truth the the app is telling me from the satellite that i'm approximately
00:37:51.640
in this room that's truth everything else is tentative everything else is just a maybe
00:38:01.880
so i think this is where we've been fooled forever science is not where you go to find out what's true
00:38:09.560
engineering is engineering tells you what's true let's take it to medicine science says this pill will work
00:38:19.080
do you know how you know you got to make the pill the only way you know is you you put it out there
00:38:26.920
and see what happens that's engineering i mean it's medical engineering in this case chemistry but i'd call
00:38:33.000
it engineering right uh not only engineers that is a fellow no i don't mean that only an engineer can
00:38:42.280
determine what's true i'm saying that your way to know if something is true is if somebody can make
00:38:48.840
a product out of it and it works the way it's supposed to now even that isn't a hundred percent
00:38:53.800
because you could engineer something that works for the wrong reason for example we talked about this
00:39:01.080
before if you believe that the wing of your airplane had to have a bernoulli effect in order to get lift
00:39:10.040
and you built that plane it would fly years later you'd find out that the bernoulli effect had nothing
00:39:16.680
to do with it so you can test something and engineer it and find out it works but then you have to
00:39:23.640
fly the plane upside down to find out what was true if you fly the plane upside down which you can do
00:39:31.960
and it flies then you know the bernoulli effect wasn't at least wasn't necessary it might have helped
00:39:38.280
but it wasn't necessary all right let's talk about this georgia grand jury because the walls are closing in
00:39:48.600
on trump and this time well this time they got him let me tell you all those other times no no those
00:39:56.840
were just uh that was just play but this time this time they got him and do you know what he did
00:40:04.920
he used the word find for votes yeah just to find this many votes as alan dershowitz uh explains last night on
00:40:21.000
i think hannity as alan dershowitz explains the word find implies they already exist
00:40:29.400
had he used the word invent or possibly concoct or possibly lie or possibly pretend or possibly cheat or
00:40:46.040
possibly do something illegal then i would say he committed a crime but if you ask somebody to find
00:40:53.320
something that you honestly believe might be there either through a recount or potentially there's a
00:41:00.360
barrel of ballots that didn't get counted somewhere you don't go to jail for that you don't go to jail
00:41:08.760
because you use the word find and other people thought you meant cheat you don't go to jail for what
00:41:15.880
other people thought you meant that's not a crime it doesn't matter how many people think you meant
00:41:22.360
something it still matters what you said it doesn't matter what they what they think you meant nobody goes
00:41:29.720
to jail for that nobody the odds of trump going to jail for that and now i heard that uh the georgia or
00:41:38.520
lana whoever it is the prosecutor wants to use rico because there are a whole bunch of people talking
00:41:45.800
about you know what to do to uh have the election changed basically is it illegal for a bunch of people
00:41:55.400
to talk about uh how to get a political outcome it's not illegal unless you break the law now there is
00:42:05.160
there is a troubling element to this which is the the so-called fake electors
00:42:11.160
but even the fake electors were operating under a legal theory am i wrong about that i believe
00:42:22.680
there were lawyers who said and they were minority lawyers in the sense that other people disagreed
00:42:28.440
but i believe there were a few lawyers who said yeah i think we could do this and it would you know
00:42:33.800
maybe pass constitutional muster i don't think anybody thought it was like uh an insurrection i think
00:42:42.280
they thought they were trying to get the right result so you'd have to find somebody who admits that they
00:42:47.400
knew they lost and they did it anyway if you can't find anybody in this whole rico conspiracy
00:42:54.840
who didn't honestly believe that trump won there's nothing am i wrong wouldn't you need at least one
00:43:04.200
person in this conspiracy to say yeah we knew it wasn't real but we're you know trying to steal the
00:43:09.880
election anyway have you heard of one person even one because usually you have whistleblowers by now
00:43:17.640
but as even one person said you know you know we really didn't believe anyone we were just sort of
00:43:22.840
acting like it now the the rico thing is so ridiculous and the find thing is so ridiculous and once again
00:43:33.880
who believes who believes that trump uh broke the law it's obvious it's been demonstrated it's part of
00:43:41.880
the public record and he's going down should i give you an impression of the people who believe that
00:43:52.760
how could you believe that i mean seriously how could you believe that he's in he's in legal trouble
00:43:59.880
over this all right here's another one uh cnn is still talking about how the uh the dominion lawsuit
00:44:11.720
surfaced all these internal fox memos um oh i'm not done i'm sorry i'm not done talking about the grand
00:44:18.760
jury i forgot the best part um so apparently this grand jury only recommends to another grand jury
00:44:31.640
i didn't know that was a thing am i getting that right that the grand jury
00:44:38.120
is only making a recommendation to another grand jury and that other grand jury would have to indict
00:44:52.280
oh there's an investigative grand jury and then a regular one the indictment grand jury all right i guess
00:44:58.200
i didn't know how that that worked which is good because it means i haven't been in that much legal jeopardy
00:45:03.080
so so here's what i think we saw the four person who apparently identifies as a witch
00:45:14.120
now as i said on twitter if i were writing this simulation you know this this thing you think is
00:45:21.560
your reality but it couldn't possibly be real it's just too weird if i were writing it and i saw that there
00:45:28.600
was a witch hunt to get trump who would i make the foreperson of that effort to get trump the witch
00:45:35.960
hunt i'd make it an actual witch or at least somebody who identifies with witchcraft yeah an actual
00:45:46.520
witch and then i would have that actual witch go on every tv show and and and talk about the things
00:45:53.320
that you're not supposed to talk about unless you're a witch i guess i suppose if you're a witch
00:45:57.480
they expect that and then and then laugh and be really really happy act really really happy that
00:46:09.640
i've never seen trump in less legal jeopardy than he is right now at this moment in time trump is in the
00:46:18.600
least legal jeopardy of his entire presidency and maybe his whole life i mean he's been so thoroughly
00:46:25.560
researched all they could find was a witch to claim that the word find means something different than
00:46:38.760
so but maybe there's something with the fake electors that they can pin on trump but i'd be surprised
00:46:50.040
i feel like i just have to stop explaining all the hoaxes because they're so obvious at this point
00:46:55.480
here's how cnn says it uh cnn in one of their pieces online said uh that uh the grand jury
00:47:04.200
investigated former president trump's attempts to overturn the 2020 election
00:47:08.920
is that the right way to to characterize what happened would you have said that trump was attempting
00:47:17.320
to overturn the 2020 election sort of like you can imagine that's like technically accurate but it's also fake
00:47:28.840
news if you don't mention the fact that he and half of the country believes the that the election was not
00:47:36.920
legitimate what would you how would you describe trying to correct an illegitimate election now
00:47:45.800
i'm not saying it was illegitimate i'm saying that's what the people seem to have believed
00:47:51.000
i wouldn't call it trying to overturn an election i would call it trying to get a recount
00:47:59.080
i would call it trying to audit it i would try it i would call it trying to make sure we got the right answer
00:48:04.760
but but but they're sort of assuming he's guilty you know they've sort of characterized him as well
00:48:12.680
they've characterized his intentions they've characterized his internal intentions that have
00:48:19.000
never been spoken in this way if his internal intention was simply to get the right answer which would
00:48:26.600
make him happy of course uh that's not trying to reverse the election that's trying to get the election
00:48:32.920
right cnn is so weaselly anyway uh let's talk about uh vivek ramaswamy so he tweeted uh this today
00:48:46.680
he said uh i'll call president oberdor president of mexico on day one with a message we'll arm you to
00:48:55.080
decimate the drug cartels pumping fentanyl across our border the cartels may be your sugar daddy now but
00:49:02.360
there's a new daddy in town if you don't do it we'll do it for you your choice america 2.0 now i love
00:49:11.400
the energy of that i love the energy like the vibe i like uh the toughness i like the priorities
00:49:21.880
i like i'm even going i'm now accepting decimate as annihilate i was corrected that apparently common use
00:49:30.040
as already elevated decimate to be uh equivalent to annihilate i thought that was sort of in the
00:49:37.800
process but it looks like dictionary.com calls them the same anyway um let's see so here's my problem with
00:49:50.760
this uh americans believe that the president of mexico is owned by the cartels do you agree
00:49:57.400
how many of you would say that's a true statement that the government of mexico is essentially owned
00:50:04.040
by the cartels now whether that's true or not that's what we believe i'm sure it's true but even if it's
00:50:12.440
not this doesn't work because how can americans get behind arming the cartels because that's what it
00:50:20.120
sounds like to me it sounds like arming isis uh because you've got some short-term gain but in the long run
00:50:27.480
arming isis probably a bad idea probably a bad idea so here's how i would um modify this i wouldn't even
00:50:37.080
talk to the president of mexico except to tell him what we're doing now we might need to sort of pretend
00:50:44.120
there's a government in mexico before we do what we need to do so you know maybe he's right with his
00:50:49.960
instinct they they have to at least give the government a try but i wouldn't give them weapons
00:51:02.920
so i don't know maybe maybe he'll uh adjust that messaging a little bit i i would prefer uh to negotiate
00:51:10.280
with the cartels directly and the way i would do it is i would uh i would publish a drone picture
00:51:18.360
every day of a cartel facility now it could be a home owned by somebody who's known to be cartel
00:51:27.320
so just here's the facility and then you say this will disappear tomorrow because a missile is going
00:51:32.920
to drop on it so then you give a chance for all the innocent people to say what i'm in this house
00:51:40.280
i work in this house there's a missile going to drop on it and then you run out the door and you're
00:51:44.920
safe and then we should just continue and never stop every day here's a new picture that's that's a
00:51:53.880
cartel asset in 24 hours it's going to disappear now of course if they had drugs and money in there
00:52:01.720
they would grab it all and they would leave with their drugs and money that's okay that's okay blow it up
00:52:09.080
anyway now you'll still try to you know catch them with their money and their drugs and kill them too
00:52:14.440
but just make it a daily occurrence here's the photo here's the the crater the next day here's the
00:52:22.520
new photo do whatever you want all right go nuts you can do anything you want but this is disappearing
00:52:29.480
this won't be here tomorrow and you just make it non-optional non-negotiable
00:52:34.440
this stuff's just going to start disappearing i don't know maybe or annex mexico i would be in
00:52:41.960
favor of that as well yes literally in case you wonder if i'm kidding yes i'm literally in favor of annexing
00:52:49.000
mexico literally in favor of annexing mexico yep absolutely yeah not kidding not hedging absolutely in
00:53:00.440
favor of annexing mexico now if they can stop the drug flow and the immigration flow then no reason
00:53:08.520
to but at the moment they're they're a mortal enemy of the united states and we should just own it
00:53:16.680
now we could give it back you know maybe fix it and give it back that'd be cool
00:53:22.040
yeah that would be good i'd love that imagine that we take it over put in some kind of a effective
00:53:28.920
government if we can uh we can't do it in america but let's say we could do it there and then turn it
00:53:34.840
back you know if you get rid of the corruption i don't know if you could anyway so i do like that
00:53:43.080
the candidates are going to compete on fentanyl and so i like vivek ramaswamy on that topic now i saw you
00:53:52.360
prompting me in the uh comments there is apparently he has some history that he was
00:53:59.960
asked to join the world economic forum a number of times when he was successful young entrepreneur
00:54:07.320
and even his name was on a list at one point but he says he flatly turned them down
00:54:13.240
and then there's a story i saw today that when he was a young student he got some kind of funding from
00:54:22.120
a soros organization for uh uh not a scholarship but something like a scholarship some kind of money
00:54:38.360
yeah he went to yale law on it wasn't a scholarship it was a what was it what's the word that sounds
00:54:45.400
like scholarship but isn't i forget what the word is but i don't really care about that a grant
00:54:53.960
fellowship maybe it was a fellowship or something like that yeah i don't care about that you know if if
00:54:59.560
a student wants to take money for uh an education they could take it from satan i don't care
00:55:07.720
i don't care at all um you know if he then became a you know soros puppet i'd be worried but if all
00:55:15.880
he did is get some funding from a grant that could have gone to any young smart person take take the money
00:55:22.120
yeah no problem so there will be uh lots of uh stuff coming out about his background you should
00:55:30.840
believe maybe 40 percent of it tops all right so cnn is uh giving major coverage to the ohio
00:55:38.600
chemical spill this is different right isn't it uh this is a change i thought fox was sort of covering it
00:55:48.440
almost by themselves but maybe you know the fact that trump visited makes it impossible not to cover
00:55:57.400
it so now it's part of a political horse race not just the story about one town that cnn probably
00:56:02.840
wouldn't care about but now it's political so trump very wisely visited not only because it's a you know
00:56:11.320
base of support for him but also because uh biden was in ukraine and buddha judge is delaying for
00:56:19.240
reasons that aren't clear so it was a brilliant political move would you agree brilliant political
00:56:27.960
move and would you also agree that every time trump is doing something like that he's winning
00:56:35.640
but when he's just you know griping at desantis and stuff he doesn't seem much like a leader when he
00:56:43.960
does that now he was hilarious in one of his uh uh truths that made it over to twitter today
00:56:51.320
and which he was mocking somebody i forget but he when he's just mocking somebody he's so funny
00:56:57.160
i mean just the words he chooses are just freaking hilarious all the time so anyway
00:57:07.560
so mike dewine the governor of ohio said he would stay in east palestine overnight until the toxic
00:57:16.520
train derailment cleanup is done what do you think of that so the governor went there and drank the water
00:57:22.920
in front of people and now he's going to sleep there until it's done now that's some good governing
00:57:31.240
that's some good governing now maybe he should have acted sooner or differently or something but this
00:57:36.600
part this part is strong yeah it's it's maybe one of the strongest leadership moves
00:57:46.520
i can remember because this is well you say it's symbolic but i think it's more than that it looks
00:57:51.720
like he's leading from the front and people like that they like it from their leaders you know i don't
00:57:57.240
even know if dewine is republican or democrat what is he is dewine republican or democrat he's a republican
00:58:09.560
like i didn't even know that but there's a republican yeah yeah well judge it for yourself all right
00:58:22.120
it's really tough to keep a narrative going if you're cnn so their coverage of the uh what is
00:58:29.160
going to be brutal blizzards including la so i think this week or today los angeles is supposed to have
00:58:38.280
a snowstorm so so the articles on the the home page of cnn or you know la to get blizzard freezing freezing
00:58:49.000
everywhere it's freezing there's snow everywhere and then they had to add like the fourth one down
00:58:56.520
was it's never been this warm in february uh here's why that's not a good thing
00:59:03.720
that's the actual title after all the blizzards and hurricanes and record cold
00:59:08.520
it's never been this warm in february that's why that here's why that's not a good thing
00:59:16.520
now i'm not going to say that weather is climate i get it i get it it could be really cold one day
00:59:24.840
and really warm another day and that's not really telling you anything right you'd have to look at the
00:59:29.000
average everywhere over time to know anything so i'm not i'm not saying weather is climate but it's
00:59:35.480
hilarious how cnn has to maintain their narrative they didn't say anything that was wrong as far
00:59:43.800
as i know i mean february might be the warmest it's been very warm where i am i think this is my
00:59:49.240
warmest february so i agree with them you know at least anecdotally but it's just so hard because
00:59:56.600
they can't just say it's really cold you tried to cover the news you're like well it's really cold i'm
01:00:02.520
gonna write it's really cold uh before you write it's really cold we better we better frame this in
01:00:09.160
the narrative and then you say it's the weather report it's just cold today i know i know i know
01:00:17.800
it's just the weather but we better make sure this is in the narrative and so they did
01:00:24.360
all right cnn continues to claim that fox executives privately knew that the election was fair
01:00:32.680
but they were allowing their uh on-air people to act as though it was not or at least act as though
01:00:41.880
there were some great questions and then i think to myself wow if that's true that's pretty damning
01:00:49.560
and then i say to myself i can't wait to see the quote or the text that demonstrates this claim
01:00:55.160
i'm still waiting as far as i can tell this is just made up am i wrong it looks totally made up
01:01:07.320
i don't believe there's any evidence that the fox executives knew what the election was because it
01:01:15.480
was unknowable knew it was fair and then decided oh we know we know it was good but we're still going
01:01:23.880
to run programming that says it isn't that's that's what uh cnn is indicating but there's no evidence of
01:01:30.680
that there's simply evidence that people disagreed
01:01:37.400
is that a crime is it a crime that some of the people have at fox thought the election was good
01:01:43.480
enough you know fair enough and some thought it wasn't why why is that a crime
01:01:51.880
all they showed is that they don't they're they're not operating in lockstep
01:01:56.680
they showed that there was and here's the part i like best they're criticizing tucker carlson
01:02:02.840
for having said that their viewers are good people and they should respect their preferences
01:02:10.600
for what they'd like to see covered in the news and cnn's mocking that like you know we caught you
01:02:17.480
caught them what respecting their audience behind closed doors behind closed doors tucker said he
01:02:29.160
respects his audience and wants to give them what what they quite reasonably want to see
01:02:35.400
because tucker does not think it's unreasonable that people have questions about this election
01:02:41.000
neither do i i believe that nothing's been demonstrated to show it was illegal
01:02:46.440
i believe that i was surprised and i certainly wanted to see more transparency and all that
01:02:55.000
but i'm completely on board with people who had enough questions that they think it's still a news
01:03:00.680
story i agree with that completely if even if there's no evidence of anything that went wrong with the
01:03:07.960
voting the fact that a huge portion of the public believes it that does make it news that is news and
01:03:16.120
respecting your audience and and giving them the the news coverage that they most want
01:03:23.800
because it's most important you know if the election had been you know thrown and let's say in an illegal
01:03:30.680
way i think it was rigged in a legal way rigged in the sense that the rule changes because the pandemic
01:03:36.840
were favorable to the democrats but it was legal right i just have to give a you know a hand to the
01:03:42.840
democrats and say good work you know if the republicans could have done something that clever and that
01:03:50.200
effective and also completely legal i think i would applaud them too because you know those are the rules
01:03:58.680
if you follow the rules and you win you won you know it looks rigged but legally if it's legally that's
01:04:07.000
something else all right so uh keep watching the critics of fox news and demand that they give you an
01:04:17.240
example to represent their opinion because there aren't any they don't have any examples to represent
01:04:23.160
their opinion that fox news was lying to their customers none at least that i've seen that i've seen
01:04:31.960
uh cnn talking about uh ukraine is now uh seemingly i don't know how to call it confirmed but they're
01:04:43.960
reporting that even the head of the wagner group says they don't have enough ammunition and it doesn't
01:04:51.640
look like it's going to get fixed now do i need to give you my uh universal disclaimer
01:05:00.440
universal disclaimer any information that you hear about ukraine is unreliable even if the news
01:05:09.080
guarantees you that they have no ammunition left they might have more ammunition than anybody's ever
01:05:14.520
had in the history of war it's possible it's possible yeah you can't believe any report on ukraine
01:05:22.520
but i've been following an account for a while that a knowledgeable you know military veteran who knows
01:05:30.360
a lot about a lot of stuff who's going through all the circumstantial evidence that suggests
01:05:36.360
that they're running out of barrels for the artillery because they wear out pretty quickly
01:05:41.240
you just shoot them i don't know for a few days and you got to take the barrel off you can't you can't
01:05:46.200
repair it um you can't repair it in the field it would have to be replaced by a factory precision
01:05:52.440
barrel and the suggestion is that even though russia is trying to get ammo from all kinds of different
01:06:00.280
places if you look at the whole picture of everything they're doing and then you listen to the head of
01:06:07.240
the wagner group say it directly it looks like the round of ammunition
01:06:10.840
like actually they're out of ammunition like actually the war could end because they're out of ammunition
01:06:21.240
now i'm not going to say that that's true yet remember it's ukraine it's russia nothing's believable
01:06:28.040
but all of all of the signs are pointing in the right direction they're all pointing that direction
01:06:32.680
and we'll know i think we'll know pretty soon we'll probably know by june i think now joe says wrong
01:06:42.200
in capital letters now joe did you need to tell me that one word wrong in capital letters is it because
01:06:51.160
you believe that i think that i believe the news coming out of ukraine is there anything i can say
01:06:58.680
they would convince you i don't believe everything coming out of ukraine is there any way i could
01:07:03.240
convince you that's true so that you would stop making comments like that you don't need to disagree
01:07:09.880
about the quality of the information you really don't we all get it we all get it however for fun
01:07:18.760
i'm going to make a prediction i believe they're out of ammo
01:07:23.080
i could be wrong and it wouldn't be the you know i wouldn't even be surprised wouldn't even be
01:07:30.280
surprised but remember that uh russia is worse at everything than you think
01:07:40.680
is that fair so far russia is way worse at everything you think they should be able to do
01:07:49.160
am i wrong everything literally everything do you think that their uh manufacturing capacity
01:08:02.840
if it's like every other thing is way worse than you imagine so i don't think that they can make
01:08:09.000
enough ammo and i don't think the ammo that they're getting is high enough quality not to blow up in the
01:08:14.840
gun and i don't think that they can get i don't think that they have a good pipeline of new barrels
01:08:21.320
coming into the front line to replace the barrels that are wearing out i think it's over
01:08:27.480
i think it's over i think i think at this point there's no way russia can win on the battlefield
01:08:36.200
let me acknowledge all the people who are disagreeing in the comments
01:08:38.840
i respect your disagreement right now when i was talking about stuff like the uh uh like the
01:08:47.320
hoaxes honestly i wouldn't respect your disagreement about the hoaxes
01:08:53.960
you know i think i explained that but in this case because we don't none of us know and it's very
01:08:59.160
complicated i totally respect your disagreement that you know russia will do fine there they'll find
01:09:05.400
ammo somehow i respect that i disagree with it but it's a perfectly reasonable opinion perfectly
01:09:12.680
reasonable yeah i'm going to go with the heuristic that russia is worse way worse at everything
01:09:21.880
and that that's all you need to know to know that we're gonna run out of ammo
01:09:27.400
china has stated their support let's say you're china
01:09:32.200
and the only thing you care about is your own interests because i think that's fair for most
01:09:38.840
countries what is in china's best interest to become a uh a major player in the ukraine war
01:09:50.920
or to let russia and nato punch themselves out until both are weaker what what is in china's best interest
01:09:59.800
now i suppose maybe they could give them ammo so that the fight goes on longer but china's best
01:10:08.200
interest i think would be to continue buying energy and trade with russia which seems fine and not to be
01:10:17.400
too directly involved in war because that would make the rest of their customers unhappy
01:10:22.360
so i think china will flirt with uh giving ammo to russia and and here's like a totally speculative thing
01:10:33.000
because i couldn't possibly know this i think china is yanking putin's chain i i think i think china
01:10:41.160
is doing to putin what that secret uh american uh lab or whatever it is it was doing to sam harris
01:10:49.480
and brett and weinstein yeah i feel like she is like so you need ammo uh-huh yeah lots of ammo
01:10:58.760
and if we gave you that ammo you'd be in much better shape wouldn't you uh-huh okay so we'll have
01:11:04.360
conversations uh internally about giving you some ammo and then putin gets back next week all right
01:11:10.440
how'd that go how'd that conversation go can we have some ammo we are we are putting that to uh the
01:11:16.680
let's see the let's see the committee of ammo decisions in the ccp and we'll get back to you in
01:11:22.840
a week and putin calls back in a week we have it now well you know the committee on ammo decided that
01:11:31.080
they also needed an opinion from our uh you know our economic uh interest group and so they're reviewing
01:11:37.960
and putin calls back next week and repeat my best guess is that she is yanking putin along
01:11:48.280
and he hopes that putin will you know end the war before they give him one bullet because it would be
01:11:53.800
a serious mistake by china to give putin one bullet we're never going to forget that
01:12:03.400
right explain why because we'll never forget it that's a permanent play there are lots of things
01:12:11.240
that countries do you know this makes me angry you shouldn't have tested that missile when our
01:12:17.080
president was visiting but those are all like temporary stuff right you you get past that pretty easily
01:12:24.120
oh you shouldn't have said that you know blah blah blah but if you give our enemy one bullet
01:12:31.240
that changes everything that changes everything
01:12:40.040
steve says your laugh at the end betrays your sincerity steve you're a terrible mind reader
01:12:50.840
no i laugh at uh all terrible things uh the more worse it is and tragic the more likely i will laugh
01:12:59.480
it doesn't have anything to do with my sincerity yeah and by the way i don't apologize for that at all
01:13:07.720
russia is not our enemy uh i agree with you in concept but if you give them weapons that
01:13:15.880
shoot nato people um you can see it both ways let's say let's say all right
01:13:32.200
yeah and i guess this uh petrosyan the guy who's head of the wagner group he is he is directly naming
01:13:39.080
names in the russian military who are at fault for him not having enough um uh weapons now if you if
01:13:48.600
you believe that russia has enough not weapons ammo if you believe russia has enough ammo you have to
01:13:55.080
explain why the guy who needs it the most says he doesn't have it the guy who needs it the most the
01:14:03.000
wagner group head he says they don't have it he showed a bunch of uh russian soldiers of his own men
01:14:09.320
he showed a gigantic pile it's a disturbing image a huge pile that just goes on for a long time of dead
01:14:19.400
russian soldiers his own team he showed that and he said it's because we don't have enough ammo
01:14:27.960
think about that the head of the wagner group publicly showed a picture of his own gigantic pile of dead
01:14:35.720
soldiers and said this is because we were not given enough ammo so you still think they have enough
01:14:42.840
ammo do you you think they have enough ammo if they if if this guy did that play no you don't do that
01:14:53.800
play if you have enough ammo or you expect to you do that play when you know you're not getting any ammo
01:15:09.240
have you ever thought of that putin might need this pedrosian guy to lose
01:15:15.880
you know why because pedrosian is i would assume his biggest competitor to take over pedrosian could
01:15:23.560
maybe even faster than putin can kill pedrosian so i've got a feeling that the last thing putin wants
01:15:32.600
to do is make pedrosian a huge war hero by having enough assets to to win whatever that looks like
01:15:41.000
winning in ukraine it's entirely possible putin is playing to lose it might be his best play
01:15:48.360
because if if wagner and pedrosian win the war for putin i think pedrosian's your new leader of russia
01:15:57.320
or at least he's got a you know he's got a path to it putin can't live with that putin i think would
01:16:03.480
rather lose the war than win it and make pedrosian the hero of the war because he'd have to kill him
01:16:10.520
immediately maybe that's hard why play it all then well i don't think that putin expected to be in this
01:16:18.040
position i think he expected to you know knock out ukraine fairly quickly nobody's a big hero because
01:16:24.680
it was easy only took us a week yeah we'll give you a medal but that's not a big deal right anybody
01:16:30.360
could have done it it only took us a week but once it became nearly impossible
01:16:34.280
once it became nearly impossible all the calculation changes and then putin's just trying
01:16:41.480
to stay in power staying in power means you don't have somebody who's competitive with you
01:16:47.400
for public opinion so this is an interesting development to me it looks like russia couldn't
01:16:57.640
so i'll say that again so it's clear uh anytime prior to today if you had said yeah i could go
01:17:09.480
either way i would have agreed with you any any time prior to today you could i'd say it was a coin flip
01:17:15.960
i don't know could go either way as of today pudin has a only a losing position you know i don't think
01:17:24.520
he has any possibility of of anything that looks like a win now it could be that we start negotiating
01:17:33.080
before you know the wagner group is completely gone we might but uh i feel like ukraine is just gonna
01:17:43.000
push russia out of all that territory now and i didn't think that even yesterday even yesterday i
01:17:48.840
didn't believe that but as of today i think they're going to take it all back because they can
01:17:59.640
here's a comment on locals who's still trying to figure out why scott so consistently carries the
01:18:04.280
deep state's water on this topic you know if you were not a local subscriber i would call you a
01:18:10.600
a fucking idiot but i guess i am anyway my god i mean seriously i look like i'm carrying the deep
01:18:23.480
state's water like that's that's your that's your best opinion on what's happening here you should be
01:18:32.440
embarrassed by that that's fucking stupid just fucking stupid and i i have to swear when i have these
01:18:39.560
situations joe says i'm lying for my world economic forum masters that's such a low level of analysis
01:18:48.360
oh you're working for soros now no you're an idiot oh you work for the world economic forum no nope you're
01:18:55.960
an idiot oh you're working for the deep state now nope and i hate to repeat myself but you're a
01:19:02.760
fucking idiot right none of that's happening it's the lowest level of understanding right there the
01:19:09.480
lowest level you should quit this platform you're not qualified to be on the local's subscription
01:19:16.600
platform that's just too fucking dumb honestly you should be embarrassed about that
01:19:41.080
no i'm not attacking the audience i'm attacking the uh the trolls the audience i love i will i will parrot
01:19:50.760
um talker carlson i actually respect my audience
01:19:58.280
you can tell right can you tell i don't respect the ridiculous trolls but i respect the audience a
01:20:04.760
lot yeah i think the audience is amazing and i and i do believe it's the smartest political audience
01:20:13.400
if somebody can tell me who they think is a smarter political audience
01:20:17.400
i'm interested because i'd probably watch that content myself but i'm not aware of any i'm not
01:20:23.720
aware of anybody who understands things better than this group
01:20:38.600
so you know early in was it early in the pandemic or something else i had dr shiva on my live stream
01:20:48.920
so dr shiva is very smart you know multi-discipline education etc
01:21:05.000
that that's it that's my whole opinion don't trust him
01:21:27.480
yeah now he does claim to have invented email and he has he has some backup for that claim
01:21:34.200
but you know it's sort of a subjective opinion whether he was an inventor or
01:21:39.080
one of the people who who was sort of involved in that area at the same time
01:21:57.480
um there there's something about the way he presents himself that's raising flags with me
01:22:04.920
that's all i don't have a i don't have any specific um accusations
01:22:09.640
yeah by the way he uh you know he's he criticized me on twitter recently did you know that so he came
01:22:18.520
so dr shiva came after me on twitter for something i believe it was probably
01:22:24.440
i think he probably fell for the 4chan hoax or something i forget
01:22:40.920
uh the viva interview with shiva was hard to watch yeah
01:22:59.880
i don't know i'm not going to defend myself for that
01:23:05.640
because i i like to focus on small things and big things
01:23:09.880
so sometimes the small things interest me and i focus on them i'm not going to apologize for that
01:23:14.440
well ramaswamy do better than yang oh yeah much better the trouble with yang is he didn't fit into any party
01:23:27.880
is he's reading the room correctly for for the republican side of the world so i i think his reading of the room is
01:23:38.760
i think it's good there's going to be here's the problem if if vivek ramaswamy
01:23:48.600
ends up saying things that are sort of indistinguishable from trump at least policy-wise not not in style but policy-wise
01:23:56.920
what are you going to do what if you add two people that look like they had very similar
01:24:02.360
you know strong republican approaches both capable both smart one is ramaswamy and one is trump
01:24:11.080
what do you do pick him as a vp that would be a bold move might be wasted as a vp
01:24:22.360
well here's i'll just throw this into the mix republicans need to run a brown candidate
01:24:32.360
do you agree republicans need to run a brown candidate and i don't mean for equity i don't
01:24:38.760
mean for diversity i don't mean for signaling i mean just to get it over with just to get it over with
01:24:45.800
it'd just be a branding thing like i i like that we had one black president already it sort of gets that
01:24:53.880
you know gets that reputation off you that you can't do that
01:24:56.520
now there are also some things that you can do if you're brown and republican that others can't do
01:25:05.320
so tim scott would have the same benefit if rama uh yeah if vivek ramaswamy decided to press a war
01:25:18.840
no what if trump does it if trump starts a war in mexico against the cartels
01:25:28.280
day one oh he always attacks the brown people doesn't he right so they could have identical
01:25:35.320
policies but one can do it without political blowback of that type and one can do it with
01:25:41.560
all that blowback of exactly that type so if trump is your president and you're a republican
01:25:48.520
he will give you one more reason to be called a racist even though you didn't do anything and it's
01:25:54.680
not his fault because in this scenario trump would be doing what republicans want which is getting
01:26:01.160
tough on the cartels but the democrats would still say well that's racist but you could take that away
01:26:07.240
for them by having a brown president who just does what makes sense and then people go oh well let's
01:26:14.760
just talk about whether it makes sense because it takes away their go-to
01:26:20.600
yeah they call candace owens a white supremacist but but it it sounds ridiculous and looks ridiculous
01:26:32.200
so um vivek has some real advantages he's got youth he's got you know business experience i like that
01:26:40.600
he's an outsider he's smart enough seems to have the right passion right energy uh there's a lot right
01:26:47.640
about him there's a lot right about him i could easily imagine supporting him i'm not there yet but i
01:26:55.640
can easily imagine it yeah all right um that ladies and gentlemen is the best live stream you've ever seen
01:27:08.760
ever and i'm going to say goodbye to the uh youtube people thanks for joining
