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

00:01:44.340 so prior to abraham lincoln

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 0.64

00:02:40.360 black americans a hate group collectively not every individual obviously anything i say about a group 0.97

00:02:46.980 you're all smart enough to know that doesn't apply to all individuals right you know that right 0.98

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 0.83

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 0.61

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 0.69

00:03:49.840 individualist i've never had any i don't think i've ever had any negative interactions with any black 0.97

00:03:55.940 american in my life or any black you know any nationality but it is nonetheless true that uh white 0.91

00:04:03.920 people trying to help black america for decades and decades has completely failed and we should just 1.00

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 0.93

00:07:28.080 to go into that gay neighborhood because of all the of all the crime and littering you've never heard 1.00

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 1.00

00:08:08.760 neighborhood it's too dangerous and half of the people there will think it's not okay to be white 0.96

00:08:14.300 according to the recent poll that would be crazy so here predictably a white uh a white man comes after 0.97

00:08:24.920 me on twitter and says oh you're telling me i should get away from my black family members 0.99

00:08:32.100 does that sound like something i would say that you should get away from your black family members 1.00

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 1.00

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 1.00

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 0.54

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 0.62

00:09:08.860 socially single but they don't live in black neighborhoods they're taking my advice that's all 1.00

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 0.99

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 1.00

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 1.00

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 1.00

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 1.00

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 0.75

00:10:09.980 and i'm no longer interested in finding out 0.94

00:10:13.120 it's a dangerous situation you should just stay away but if any individual young black man comes to 1.00

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 0.54

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 1.00

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

00:12:11.820 it might be toward the end that's possible

00:12:14.700 um let's see uh

00:12:18.500 52 percent of republicans would choose trump if it were a three-way between desantis and

00:12:26.460 nikki haley and when i say a three-way

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

00:12:59.000 did you see that coming

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

00:14:03.580 um according to rasmussen

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

00:16:35.000 it for three years

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

00:17:33.080 can you explain that

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

00:19:36.760 sam harris and brad weinstein

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 0.54

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 0.98

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 0.98

00:23:03.880 bullshit the person in charge believed that they had found something of value and i listened to it and 0.96

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 0.97

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 0.99

00:29:13.400 somebody who is so busy masturbating to their own team that they could no longer think in any coherent 0.70

00:29:19.880 way right now let me give you an example that's almost like that that the gunners actually believe 0.86

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 0.94

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 0.96

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 0.52

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 0.56

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

00:44:46.680 is that right two grand juries for one case

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 0.92

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 0.80

00:45:57.480 they expect that and then and then laugh and be really really happy act really really happy that

00:46:04.360 you might send uh trump to jail

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

00:46:33.960 than english that was their case

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

00:46:44.440 all right um

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

00:50:56.920 that sounds like the wrong play um

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 1.00

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 0.92

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 0.99

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 0.52

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

00:54:30.840 now do any of those things bother you

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 0.99

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

01:07:59.240 is better than you think

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 0.95

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 0.99

01:12:40.040 steve says your laugh at the end betrays your sincerity steve you're a terrible mind reader

01:12:47.480 betrays my sincerity

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

01:13:24.280 um what else is going on

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

01:14:59.640 people now the other possibility is

01:15:04.920 putin doesn't want the wagner group to win

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

01:15:22.680 probably kill putin

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 0.74

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

01:16:54.040 possibly win from their current set point

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 0.99

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 0.99

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 1.00

01:18:32.440 embarrassed by that that's fucking stupid just fucking stupid and i i have to swear when i have these 1.00

01:18:39.560 situations joe says i'm lying for my world economic forum masters that's such a low level of analysis 1.00

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 1.00

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 1.00

01:19:02.760 fucking idiot right none of that's happening it's the lowest level of understanding right there the 1.00

01:19:09.480 lowest level you should quit this platform you're not qualified to be on the local's subscription 1.00

01:19:16.600 platform that's just too fucking dumb honestly you should be embarrassed about that 0.99

01:19:24.840 all right i think i made my point 0.99

01:19:26.040 i was quite blunt

01:19:36.760 thanks maddie

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 0.50

01:19:50.760 um talker carlson i actually respect my audience 0.71

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

01:20:36.360 thoughts on dr shiva running for senate

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

01:20:55.800 um

01:21:00.040 but i don't trust him

01:21:05.000 that that's it that's my whole opinion don't trust him

01:21:13.160 all right um

01:21:16.920 it happened uh

01:21:19.080 i don't remember which opinion it was but

01:21:21.320 uh

01:21:24.760 tweeted

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

01:21:43.800 yeah

01:21:46.840 now my take is that his interest in

01:21:50.680 um publicity

01:21:54.440 is a little too high

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

01:22:27.480 uh

01:22:40.920 uh the viva interview with shiva was hard to watch yeah

01:22:48.680 i'm a venus flytrap on twitter

01:22:50.440 scott is petty and that's a shame

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

01:23:24.200 what uh vivek ramaswamy is doing well

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

01:23:35.560 really good so yeah he should do way better

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

01:25:16.040 in mexico would anybody call him a racist

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 1.00

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 0.86

01:26:14.760 just talk about whether it makes sense because it takes away their go-to 0.99

01:26:20.600 yeah they call candace owens a white supremacist but but it it sounds ridiculous and looks ridiculous 0.99

01:26:26.520 yeah 0.83

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
