Tristan Tate and the Tate Brothers are back in court in Romania, and the media seems to have no idea what to make of it. Is it a government spy operation? Or is it something else going on? And what does Tucker have to say about it?

00:00:00.000 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of civilization, best thing that ever happened to you and anybody you'd know.
00:00:11.280 And if you'd like to take your experience to levels that nobody's ever seen before in the known universe,
00:00:18.440 all you need is a cup or mug or glass, a tankard chalice or stein, a canteen jug or flask, a vessel of any kind.
00:00:26.500 Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better.
00:00:37.780 It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens now. Go!
00:00:45.240 Ah, that's some good stuff.
00:00:49.920 Well, I know what you all want to talk about.
00:00:51.960 So, Tucker Carlson and the news and stuff like that, but I'd like to suggest a theme for today's live stream.
00:01:02.560 Do you like it when I have a theme?
00:01:04.520 When all the news coincidentally seems to fit a theme.
00:01:09.200 And here it is.
00:01:11.120 We'll put it together as we go.
00:01:14.060 But first, I would like to do a demonstration of the wisdom of my audience, the smartest audience in the history.
00:01:23.100 Don't answer the question before I ask it.
00:01:25.700 Stop it. Stop it. 1.00
00:01:28.280 They're answering the question correctly before I've asked the question.
00:01:32.080 That is unbelievable.
00:01:34.880 Unbelievable.
00:01:35.780 It's actually happening.
00:01:36.920 It's happening on YouTube, too, now.
00:01:38.500 I'm just blown away at how smart my audience is.
00:01:43.820 Well, now that you know the answer, let me ask the question.
00:01:48.780 According to a Rasmussen poll, what percentage of Americans...
00:01:53.600 I think it's likely voters, but something like that.
00:01:56.960 But what percent of these Americans are not concerned about domestic spying?
00:02:03.040 Oh, you all get it right.
00:02:05.140 It's exactly 25%.
00:02:07.060 25%.
00:02:08.700 Yeah, it turns out that 74% of likely U.S. voters are very concerned.
00:02:14.540 Or that they're concerned.
00:02:15.980 And then half of them, half of the people are very concerned.
00:02:18.960 But 25% not concerned one bit about the government watching everything you're doing.
00:02:25.460 No problem with that whatsoever.
00:02:28.940 So pat yourself on the back if you got that one right.
00:02:32.660 I'm going to keep quizzing you until you get one wrong.
00:02:37.060 Yeah.
00:02:37.460 I'm just going to keep asking questions until I can find anything you guys don't know.
00:02:43.080 It's amazing.
00:02:44.780 All right.
00:02:46.940 Have I ever told you that all news about public figures is fake?
00:02:52.740 Have I ever mentioned that?
00:02:54.040 Like maybe a lot of times?
00:02:57.360 Like maybe almost every day?
00:02:59.720 Yeah.
00:03:00.760 So I'm going to tell you a bunch of news about public figures.
00:03:04.960 How much of it should you believe?
00:03:06.700 The answer is 25%.
00:03:12.300 No, the answer is zero.
00:03:15.820 It might be that all of the facts are accurate.
00:03:19.060 So I might be telling you all accurate facts based on the news.
00:03:23.060 But how often are all the accurate facts that you hear in the news a complete and accurate picture of what was going on?
00:03:30.980 Basically never.
00:03:32.260 It's just not even a thing.
00:03:33.260 And I'm saying this based on my own experience.
00:03:37.220 I've been a public figure in the subject of news for 30 years.
00:03:42.520 It's never true.
00:03:44.700 They'll get maybe your birthday right.
00:03:47.200 And even that's a tall son.
00:03:49.640 All right.
00:03:50.640 So let's talk about some famous people.
00:03:53.420 So a tweet from Tristan Tate, one of the Tate brothers.
00:03:57.060 And I guess they got brought back into court in Romania.
00:04:03.160 And things are getting really sketchy over there.
00:04:06.780 Right.
00:04:07.240 The news is just so incomplete.
00:04:09.860 But would you agree that whatever we're hearing about Romania and the Tate brothers is probably inaccurate?
00:04:17.240 Would you agree?
00:04:18.980 Do you think we know anything about what's going on?
00:04:21.160 Let me tell you this tweet just to give you a sense of how little we know about what's happening.
00:04:26.540 All right.
00:04:27.300 This is from Tristan Tate.
00:04:29.420 He says, they, meaning Romania, they charged me yesterday with, quote, inciting violence toward others.
00:04:36.880 And then he says, I thought it was a human trafficker.
00:04:39.640 Where's the evidence for that?
00:04:41.020 Oh, yeah, that's right.
00:04:44.500 They don't have any, so they make something else up.
00:04:47.560 All right.
00:04:48.320 Now, I'm not going to uncritically assume that the defendant is telling the truth.
00:04:54.020 That would be sort of a stretch.
00:04:56.720 But do you think that Romania is acting in a way that sounds like just a government looking to handle crime?
00:05:04.600 There's something else going on there, isn't there?
00:05:07.540 Don't you feel like there's something else going on?
00:05:10.000 Yeah, yeah.
00:05:12.280 Now, do you think that one way to characterize the Tate brothers' problems is bad behavior toward women?
00:05:21.400 Do you think that's at the heart of it?
00:05:23.120 I mean, there's some other allegations swirling around, but it seems like some kind of behavior regarding women. 0.55
00:05:32.060 Not women in general, but the women who may have worked with him in his operation.
00:05:36.060 Now, those are the accusations.
00:05:37.120 I'm not saying I know what's true, but those are the accusations that women are accusing them of being bad men who do bad things. 0.99
00:05:48.120 All right, let's talk about Tucker Carlson.
00:05:49.900 So, Tucker Carlson and Fox News are going to part ways, but apparently it's only the show.
00:06:00.300 I guess his contract will probably be paid out, the news is saying.
00:06:03.780 So, Tucker Carlson is having a terrible day where he just learned that he gets to spend as much time as he wants with his family and doing whatever he wants.
00:06:14.720 And instead of working and being the subject of everybody's hate, he'll just make $20 million a year from staying home.
00:06:22.460 So, bad day for him, huh?
00:06:26.520 Yeah.
00:06:28.240 He must be, I'll bet he's crying himself to sleep.
00:06:31.940 Probably crying himself to sleep.
00:06:34.080 But, given that we know absolutely nothing about this situation, and it wouldn't surprise me if Tucker doesn't know why he was fired either.
00:06:41.980 Because it's all what's in people's heads, right?
00:06:46.880 I mean, whatever happened there, we'll never really know.
00:06:51.080 I don't think we'll ever know the real truth.
00:06:53.680 But don't you think it's some kind of average of what people have in their private thoughts?
00:06:59.340 You know, there's some executive who has a private thought about this or that.
00:07:03.280 There's another executive who has a private thought about this or that.
00:07:06.680 There's Murdoch and the Murdoch kids who have different thoughts about different things, and then some decision gets made.
00:07:17.880 So, you're going to see all kinds of reasons for him getting fired, but none of them individually seem to rise to the level of, really?
00:07:29.500 That's the reason you're getting, that they got rid of the show?
00:07:33.140 But I'll list them all, right?
00:07:34.840 So, the Daily Beast has helpfully put together a list as, have other media, and they've got their own ideas.
00:07:40.520 But among the many, many, many things that Tucker Carlson did, he used the C word a lot.
00:07:53.380 He used the C word a lot.
00:07:56.000 And there's something about his comments about Sidney Powell.
00:07:59.980 Now, it's a little unclear if the C word was used in conjunction with a conversation about Sidney Powell, or if those were just different topics.
00:08:13.460 Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but when you use the C word at work, that really angers men.
00:08:23.460 I'll tell you, men really get bad about that.
00:08:25.240 You use that C word in front of a group of men and nobody else, and those men will be like, hey, hey, don't use that word.
00:08:34.660 So, I'm just assuming that men complained about his use of that word.
00:08:41.760 He made disparaging remarks about management.
00:08:45.000 Is there anybody who hasn't never made a disparaging remark about management?
00:08:52.880 Are you kidding me?
00:08:55.220 I'm doing a live stream, which is almost entirely people who want to see me.
00:09:01.140 And even most of you have made disparaging remarks about me.
00:09:06.420 I mean, maybe not Nat.
00:09:08.320 You might like some things, too.
00:09:09.980 But everybody makes disparaging remarks about everybody.
00:09:13.380 What's different is that his emails may have been surfaced.
00:09:18.080 His communications may have been surfaced during that lawsuit.
00:09:21.300 So, maybe some of those executives saw some discouraging or disparaging remarks.
00:09:27.240 Then the Daily Beast also says it's something about his January 6th conspiracy coverage.
00:09:33.220 Now, do you think that there was anybody at Fox News who said out loud, the problem is his January 6th coverage?
00:09:42.880 Maybe.
00:09:44.040 But this sounds like just something that the Daily Beast would make up because they want it to be true.
00:09:49.440 It feels like wishful thinking, doesn't it?
00:09:53.900 Dan, the NPC says, Scott, you ignorant?
00:09:58.180 That's almost a sentence there.
00:09:59.860 Goodbye.
00:10:02.080 Thanks for joining us.
00:10:03.220 Let's see.
00:10:07.460 What else has he approved?
00:10:08.740 Oh, Tucker is also accused of a former producer has a lawsuit that says it was a sexist environment.
00:10:17.480 Now, he's not being accused of any Me Too stuff.
00:10:20.780 But rather, the way he talked was sexist.
00:10:25.880 So, and that's the sort of thing that men he worked with probably complained a lot about.
00:10:30.040 So, I can imagine Tucker talking to the guys and the guys are like, whoa, whoa, Tucker, that's a little bit sexist.
00:10:37.900 Can you calm that down a little bit?
00:10:39.900 Calm that down.
00:10:40.820 We men don't like that at all.
00:10:42.440 Let's see.
00:10:44.260 Let's see.
00:10:44.560 Let's see.
00:10:44.720 Let's see.
00:10:44.760 Let's see.
00:10:44.780 Let's see.
00:10:45.260 What else?
00:10:45.300 Oliver Darcy says it's related to ex-producers' lawsuit for his rampant sexism.
00:10:55.180 And then Oliver Darcy has seen that and throws this in.
00:10:58.920 And anti-Semitic behavior.
00:11:03.640 What would be an example of anti-Semitic behavior?
00:11:09.280 Now, I would understand if they said he had anti-Semitic words, like words.
00:11:14.960 I could imagine somebody doing that, not necessarily Tucker, but you could imagine a person doing something that's anti-Semitic.
00:11:24.900 But what exactly was his behavior?
00:11:29.560 Do you think that's real?
00:11:31.900 Did he start a little holocaust of his own there? 0.83
00:11:35.720 Was his behavior to overtly discriminate against Jewish employees or Jewish guests?
00:11:42.580 Seems like if they had a specific, we might have heard it.
00:11:48.240 Does that sound like just something that was made up by CNN?
00:11:52.260 Does that sound true?
00:11:55.520 Remember, 100% of stories about famous people are not true.
00:12:00.580 Now, I only see this stuck in in the CNN report.
00:12:04.820 Even the Daily Beast, which is no friend of Tucker's, doesn't mention anything about any anti-Semitic thing.
00:12:12.580 Do you know that when I got canceled, the ADL, somebody from the ADL came after me.
00:12:19.380 They tried to make it anti-Semitic.
00:12:21.320 Just kind of tack on to the story a little bit.
00:12:23.560 Well, you know, maybe he did something anti-Semitic, too.
00:12:27.880 Right.
00:12:28.460 Well, he said some bad things that had nothing to do with us.
00:12:31.580 But we think we can maybe tag on a little bit and get a little juice from this, too.
00:12:35.640 So that's probably ridiculous, but it's a serious accusation.
00:12:42.760 So we'll put a pin in it.
00:12:45.700 But if you don't hear this from other entities, it sounds like it's just a CNN little jab.
00:12:52.680 All right.
00:12:55.560 Profanity-laced remarks.
00:12:57.500 You know, there's another thing that men hate.
00:12:59.840 Men hate it when men swear.
00:13:02.440 So a lot of men were mad at Tucker, at Fox News, that's for sure.
00:13:09.560 And maybe something about the advertisers wanting to stay away from Tucker's show.
00:13:17.120 It did seem to me that Tucker did not have the A-level advertisers.
00:13:22.340 And, you know, I've always wondered how Fox News even makes money.
00:13:29.020 When I see the advertisements that they run, I think to myself, how many pillows can you sell?
00:13:36.340 Or, you know, how much gold do people need?
00:13:40.380 I don't really even understand their business model.
00:13:43.060 Because when I look at, if I look at a commercial on one of the major networks, you know, it's going to be some big pharma company or something.
00:13:50.820 And you say, oh, I understand how they make money.
00:13:53.340 That big pharma company is paying them a lot of money to advertise.
00:13:56.740 But Fox advertisers don't look like they even have money.
00:14:01.720 I don't even know where they get their money.
00:14:03.440 I mean, they seem like smaller outfits.
00:14:05.400 I just don't know how the, honestly, I don't know how they make money.
00:14:08.380 Like, literally, I don't understand how they do it.
00:14:13.860 So, maybe it's that.
00:14:17.800 Then RFK Jr. said it was something about not long after RFK Jr. was on the show and talking about big pharma.
00:14:28.200 So RFK Jr. thinks it might be something about big pharma pushing back.
00:14:33.940 What do you think?
00:14:34.660 Of all those reasons, which ones do you find compelling?
00:14:38.380 Knowing that we'll never know, all right, it could be that the real reason is some reason that's not even in the news, right?
00:14:46.640 So, some say big pharma, some say lawsuits, potential lawsuits.
00:14:53.620 Some say RFK, some say a combination.
00:14:56.700 Some say it's a Ray Epps story, the January 6th stuff.
00:15:00.260 Don't want to get sued, basically, right?
00:15:02.080 You think it was Kennedy, you think it was Dominion, you think it's J6, some say insurance.
00:15:11.520 All right, what if I taught you, let's see if you remember this lesson.
00:15:16.400 What does it mean when everybody has a different opinion of why it happened?
00:15:20.700 What's that mean?
00:15:21.360 What can you conclude from the fact that all the observers have a different opinion?
00:15:28.180 Well, nobody knows.
00:15:30.820 Nobody knows.
00:15:31.840 It might also be unknowable.
00:15:34.040 Because like I say, I'm sure it was a group decision.
00:15:38.420 You know, even though Murdoch could make the decision himself, I'm sure it was a group.
00:15:42.700 You know, they consulted.
00:15:43.880 But I don't think that they each knew what was in the minds of the other.
00:15:48.500 Obviously, they said what they want to say.
00:15:52.220 But maybe their actual secret thoughts were for themselves.
00:15:55.960 And they just made the argument that was fit for other people to hear.
00:16:00.620 So, I've got a feeling it was just a bunch of people who had a bunch of problems.
00:16:04.440 And when the bunch of problems reached the level where it was higher than the benefit,
00:16:08.760 they pulled the trigger.
00:16:11.080 Yeah, it could be the Paul Ryan effect.
00:16:13.220 He's on the board and doesn't.
00:16:15.860 It could be that Carlson was too friendly, not friendly, but too beneficial to Trump getting elected.
00:16:24.020 Because if Tucker kept going at the January 6th thing, then that would make Trump stronger.
00:16:33.920 All right.
00:16:34.820 So, I guess we don't know what it was exactly.
00:16:39.060 But I'll tell you, the spot that he's in, so the people who have been in that spot was, let's see, Bill O'Reilly was there in that 8 p.m. spot.
00:16:52.280 Megyn Kelly was there, right?
00:16:54.580 And now Tucker, was there somebody else there?
00:16:59.260 Glenn Beck, right.
00:17:00.660 So, Glenn Beck, Megyn Kelly, and O'Reilly, and now Tucker.
00:17:05.140 So, if you had to come up with a name for what you would call that 8 o'clock block, I would call it the kill me block.
00:17:15.060 You know, if you go there, you might as well just kill me, right?
00:17:20.120 Just kill me.
00:17:23.120 So, who did they have as a guest host in the kill me slot last night?
00:17:29.420 Just guess.
00:17:30.600 Just imagine that you live in a simulation and everything is meant to be a joke.
00:17:35.020 You don't know it, but it's like a physical joke that's being played on us.
00:17:38.440 Who would they put in the kill me spot?
00:17:40.240 Brian, kill me, duh.
00:17:45.680 Brian, kill me, duh.
00:17:48.040 Was in the kill me slot.
00:17:50.400 I mean, come on.
00:17:52.600 Come on.
00:17:55.100 Total simulation.
00:17:57.180 I didn't say it was funny.
00:17:58.760 I just said it was a simulation messing with us.
00:18:01.220 You can decide on your own if it's funny.
00:18:03.800 I mean, it's not my joke.
00:18:05.360 It's a simulation.
00:18:08.140 So, let's see.
00:18:10.240 We got all those possibilities.
00:18:16.660 Now, the speculation also is, what's going to happen to Tucker?
00:18:22.540 Where will he go?
00:18:24.460 And everybody's got their own guesses.
00:18:27.820 Now, there are two lines of thinking, and they're both worthy of exploring.
00:18:32.600 One says that Tucker is a singular personality.
00:18:36.400 He's bigger than Fox News, and wherever he goes, if he goes independent, he could become the Joe Rogan of independent people or something like that.
00:18:47.940 But even Joe Rogan depends on advertisers, doesn't he?
00:18:52.400 It's going to be a little bit tough for Tucker to find advertisers, because he couldn't find it for his show.
00:19:02.260 So, I mean, if Fox News can't get you an advertiser, it'd be hard to scrounge one up on your own.
00:19:07.840 But I suppose he could.
00:19:09.540 I suppose he could.
00:19:10.040 Yeah, Mike Cernovich accurately points out that Tucker is sort of a target for lawsuits.
00:19:19.460 So, unless you've got some big organization behind you to pay your legal bills, it's too risky to be in business the way Tucker does business.
00:19:27.840 Maybe. Maybe. But, you know, if you're making Joe Rogan kind of money, you can also buy Joe Rogan kind of insurance.
00:19:36.940 And Tucker does make Joe Rogan money, so he can buy insurance.
00:19:41.500 I don't know if he can buy, you know, $100 million worth of insurance, but maybe he can. I don't know.
00:19:48.160 So, some say he's going to go the independent route.
00:19:53.240 Now, others say, and I think they're not wrong, that Fox News is the star, and the 8 o'clock spot is the star,
00:20:05.100 and you could put it in anybody good, and they would have huge ratings, because it's about the platform.
00:20:11.740 That's not wrong.
00:20:13.600 You know, I've been telling you for years that whatever you want to say to complain about Fox News,
00:20:19.620 there's one thing that they do consistently well and have for years, which is their producers really produce.
00:20:28.900 You know, CNN looks poorly produced to me, as does MSNBC.
00:20:33.780 But Fox News consistently looks like the producers, the people behind the curtain, are just a higher level of operators.
00:20:42.000 They just seem more effective to me.
00:20:43.340 So, they can put it on a show, and maybe it's the show is the star, and they can put in interesting people,
00:20:50.080 and, you know, picking the right celebrity or the right personality is part of producing.
00:20:56.940 So, I'm going to say that their 8 o'clock hour is going to do fine.
00:21:01.900 What do you think?
00:21:03.800 Now, it might take them a while to find their footing,
00:21:06.000 but I think they're going to put in somebody who's as interesting, you know, maybe not on day one, but as interesting.
00:21:14.040 And you're going to tune in, because it's 8 o'clock, and the TV's on, and you're just going to watch it.
00:21:20.740 That's what happened when they got rid of, not got rid of, but, so, after Glenn Beck, after O'Reilly, after Megyn Kelly,
00:21:29.140 their ratings just kept going up.
00:21:31.420 So, why won't that happen again?
00:21:32.820 So, I'm going to say that from the perspective of Fox News, probably it looks like a pretty good decision.
00:21:40.840 Does that surprise you?
00:21:42.420 If I'm just going to do the business decision, the things that have been listed as the potential problems for Tucker,
00:21:50.080 if any subset of that is true, yeah, that's pretty good reasons.
00:21:54.420 Pretty good reasons.
00:21:55.200 Now, because, remember, they would have confidence that they can fill that slot, eventually,
00:22:01.900 with somebody who makes them just as much money, and they wouldn't have the problems, they wouldn't have the lawsuits.
00:22:07.820 So, it's not a terrible business decision.
00:22:10.540 It doesn't mean that it'll work out, right?
00:22:13.100 All business is a risk.
00:22:14.620 So, it could be the worst thing they ever did.
00:22:17.200 But if you based it on their history, it was a smart business decision, which is not to, I'm not trying to not support Tucker.
00:22:28.140 I'm just saying you can see it from a business perspective, and the risk was higher than the return.
00:22:34.180 We'll see.
00:22:34.620 But how will Tucker do?
00:22:37.580 Do you think that he will go off and start his own thing that's bigger than his old audience?
00:22:43.360 Well, I saw reporting that says that none of the three people I mentioned did.
00:22:49.760 So, Megyn Kelly's doing well, but doesn't have the same size audience.
00:22:54.700 Glenn Beck, obviously, is doing great, and The Blaze, but probably a smaller audience.
00:23:01.160 And O'Reilly has got his own thing, but a smaller audience.
00:23:04.620 So, do you think Tucker will go on to just have a nice, solid, respectable podcast?
00:23:12.260 And, you know, he'll just happily go on?
00:23:15.660 Maybe.
00:23:16.780 Maybe.
00:23:18.520 There are a number of entities that would try to get him.
00:23:23.320 News Nation.
00:23:26.000 News Nation is where Chris Cuomo ended up.
00:23:32.940 So, that might make sense.
00:23:36.780 They're independent.
00:23:38.840 You know, they're trying to hit some kind of middle ground reporting.
00:23:43.920 So, I don't know.
00:23:44.740 I don't know if anybody has enough money to pay him what he needs, but he could make a fortune as a podcaster, obviously.
00:23:50.640 So, he's got lots of options.
00:23:52.200 It's a good place to be.
00:23:53.000 I would guess that his cancellation, if you want to call it that, feels a lot like mine did, which is everybody else thinks it's worse than it is for you.
00:24:04.800 And you're thinking, oh, well, it's a good thing I spent my career up to this point building a bunch of skills.
00:24:11.780 Because if you have a bunch of skills, as Tucker does, he's got a ton of options.
00:24:18.560 He has so many options.
00:24:20.440 I hope nobody's feeling sorry for him.
00:24:22.980 Is anybody feeling sorry for Tucker?
00:24:25.500 I mean, I wish things didn't happen that were bad for anybody.
00:24:29.220 But, no, he's doing great.
00:24:33.000 I would guess he's having a good week.
00:24:36.280 If I had to guess, this following week will be more fun and interesting and stimulating for Tucker than the week before.
00:24:45.180 Because he was just sort of going to work and grinding out the same show after show, which had to be a lot of work.
00:24:51.140 And now he's on vacation.
00:24:52.260 He's getting paid the same.
00:24:53.740 The entire world has opened up to him.
00:24:56.300 I don't know.
00:24:56.980 Looks pretty good for him.
00:24:57.880 Let's talk about, oh, AOC talked about deplatforming works and it is important.
00:25:09.240 So, AOC is very happy about Tucker being deplatformed.
00:25:13.580 Okay.
00:25:14.160 Oh, also, some people think it's the war in Ukraine because Tucker was anti-war in Ukraine.
00:25:20.340 Some say it's about the presidential election because you want to remove players from the field.
00:25:26.100 I think it's all of those things.
00:25:30.320 I think it's all of those things.
00:25:33.300 It's the whole bag of things.
00:25:35.720 That's why we'll never hear there was one thing.
00:25:39.500 And if you do hear that it was one thing, I wouldn't believe it.
00:25:43.100 It's all the things.
00:25:44.280 How about Don Lemon?
00:25:49.180 So, Don Lemon, now, I don't know if this is true, but I like to think it's true.
00:25:55.620 Every once in a while, you like to think that people do smart things.
00:26:02.780 If CNN was getting ready to fire Don Lemon and then the unexpected news about Tucker Carlson
00:26:10.460 hit, wouldn't the smartest thing for them to do is immediately fire Don Lemon so that
00:26:17.120 his news is tagged on to Tucker's news but it's behind it?
00:26:21.600 Because Tucker's going to get more attention.
00:26:23.340 I think that's what they did.
00:26:27.200 If they didn't do that intentionally, I'll be very disappointed because it would be one
00:26:32.200 of the smartest media things I'd ever seen.
00:26:34.780 I mean, really, really smart.
00:26:37.480 You know, they like to announce bad news on a Friday before a three-day weekend.
00:26:42.760 But this was even better.
00:26:45.840 You know, assuming that they were ready to go, you know, they'd already made it or almost
00:26:50.220 a decision to fire him, that was just such good timing.
00:26:55.420 And what was Don Lemon fired for?
00:26:58.340 Well, his diva-like behavior.
00:27:02.000 Do you think his diva-like behavior was bothering the men?
00:27:06.380 The men at CNN?
00:27:07.200 Do you think the men were saying, that Don Lemon, he's acting so diva-like?
00:27:13.760 I don't know.
00:27:15.120 Based on the reporting, there were a lot of women in the reporting who seemed angry at 1.00
00:27:18.620 him.
00:27:19.600 And he was being called misogynist.
00:27:22.240 Oh.
00:27:23.420 So the Tates are misogynist.
00:27:25.220 Tucker Carlson was accused of being misogynist.
00:27:28.640 And now Don Lemon, gay man, is being accused of being misogynist.
00:27:34.780 Have you seen the pattern yet?
00:27:36.240 Did you notice the pattern?
00:27:39.700 Yeah.
00:27:40.000 Working with women is really dangerous. 1.00
00:27:42.760 Working with women is going to put you in jail and get you fired. 1.00
00:27:49.420 That's where we are.
00:27:51.500 Basically, if you're working with women, and there are a bunch of them, the odds that one 1.00
00:27:58.080 of them will sue you or call you a misogynist is nearly 100%.
00:28:02.220 It's nearly 100%.
00:28:04.140 So it seems to me that the obvious future of all men in public life is to eventually be 0.69
00:28:11.540 sued and fired in disgrace.
00:28:14.440 Because if you took 100% of any type of person, so this has nothing to do with being women, 0.95
00:28:19.380 right?
00:28:19.580 If this sounds anti-woman, just you can remove the woman from the story and replace any demographic.
00:28:26.640 There's 100 of whatever, Elbonians.
00:28:30.080 100 binaries.
00:28:31.480 100 cisgender white men.
00:28:34.180 100 anything.
00:28:35.400 If there are 100 of them, you're going to have some bad ones.
00:28:39.500 Do you agree?
00:28:40.240 It doesn't matter who it is.
00:28:42.180 100 human beings.
00:28:43.800 You're going to have some bad ones.
00:28:45.740 And if those bad ones have this easy way to take out the men they work with, it's going 0.99
00:28:50.040 to happen over time.
00:28:51.600 So you're seeing the complete inability of men and women to work together for long.
00:28:58.220 Now, I'm not going to give men a pass.
00:29:03.540 If you put men in any environment and you wait long enough, they're going to do some 0.98
00:29:07.800 bad stuff.
00:29:09.520 Because, you know, men.
00:29:12.140 I can say that because I am one.
00:29:14.100 We do bad stuff if you wait long enough.
00:29:17.380 So men and women working together just doesn't work. 0.99
00:29:21.480 I hate to say it, but in 2023, men and women working together absolutely is too dangerous.
00:29:28.220 Because some of the women are going to complain, and then that would have to be taken seriously. 1.00
00:29:33.800 And probably it is serious.
00:29:35.860 It probably is based on something real.
00:29:39.040 So let me ask you this.
00:29:43.620 Do you remember when the Me Too movement was everywhere and people were getting Me Too'd
00:29:47.580 all over the place?
00:29:49.520 Did you notice it stopped?
00:29:52.640 What's up with that?
00:29:54.360 How did it stop?
00:29:55.380 Did the guys stop being guys?
00:29:58.640 I doubt it.
00:30:00.000 Did the women stop complaining? 1.00
00:30:02.720 I actually don't know the answer.
00:30:05.300 But didn't we get one or two Me Too stories per day?
00:30:09.680 And the closest we've come is wasn't there some NBC executive who admitted he had a consensual
00:30:16.100 affair with somebody at work and then he quit?
00:30:19.400 But even that wasn't scandalous, was it?
00:30:22.600 It wasn't even scandalous.
00:30:24.300 It just seemed like there was an affair and that was against the rules.
00:30:27.040 And that's about the whole story.
00:30:30.520 Yeah.
00:30:32.660 So that's ongoing, somebody says.
00:30:35.280 All right.
00:30:35.860 So, oh, and it might be a little bit racist, too, the Don Lemon stuff.
00:30:44.920 Not that Don Lemon was fired because management was racist.
00:30:53.160 I'm not saying that.
00:30:53.960 So management was not racist.
00:30:55.400 Rather, that Don Lemon was being called a racist.
00:30:59.960 And Don Lemon was being called a racist because when he interviewed Vivek Ramaswamy, he said
00:31:08.740 something along the lines of that Ramaswamy couldn't speak about the post-Civil War history
00:31:13.780 because Ramaswamy wasn't black.
00:31:18.760 Is that racist?
00:31:21.660 I guess so.
00:31:22.560 I mean, technically, yes.
00:31:25.780 Okay.
00:31:27.400 So Don Lemon was a racist, misogynist, as were basically all men in all of our stories.
00:31:37.600 But how about a story that's not?
00:31:40.260 Can we have a story that's not about men and women fighting and the men losing?
00:31:46.480 Because that seems to be the theme.
00:31:49.160 All right.
00:31:49.440 Here's one that just has nothing to do with that.
00:31:51.220 Elizabeth Warren wants to pack the courts so that they can get what they want without 1.00
00:31:57.840 having to worry about the majority of the Republicans.
00:32:01.500 So at least that has nothing to do with, you know, women blaming men for stuff, right?
00:32:07.800 Oh, yes.
00:32:08.560 Except that that's exactly what it is.
00:32:11.020 It's a woman blaming the men on the Supreme Court for abortion decisions, basically. 1.00
00:32:16.820 Because this is all about abortion.
00:32:19.260 I don't think they were going to pack the court until there was an abortion question. 0.99
00:32:23.480 And what about guns?
00:32:25.380 Maybe something about guns.
00:32:27.820 Do you think guns are maybe sort of have a gender split, too?
00:32:33.060 Maybe.
00:32:33.340 So here we have Elizabeth Warren trying to destroy the most important part of the republic, 0.80
00:32:41.080 which is that we don't pack the court.
00:32:42.980 If I could come to earth as some kind of a god and tell America how the one thing they have
00:32:53.940 to do right, imagine I just appear as an angel.
00:32:58.000 Ah, I have come to earth to tell America you can do almost everything wrong and recover.
00:33:06.760 There's just one thing.
00:33:10.460 I just want to ask you, just do one thing right.
00:33:15.180 Don't pack the court.
00:33:17.260 It's the only thing that could destroy everything.
00:33:20.980 Everything else we can figure out.
00:33:23.720 But if you pack the court, it's over.
00:33:27.800 Now, how does she not know this?
00:33:30.180 I think she puts the goal above the system.
00:33:36.660 I put the system above the goal.
00:33:39.340 I understand that they have a goal of having the Supreme Court make different decisions.
00:33:43.960 I get it.
00:33:45.420 But if it were the other way, I wouldn't want to destroy the court to get those specific decisions,
00:33:52.440 especially if it's something that got sent to the state, like abortion.
00:33:56.240 But to me, this looks like a decision she doesn't like.
00:34:03.260 And so she's going to do something to destroy the entire civilization. 0.83
00:34:08.180 So those men won't make that bad decision anymore.
00:34:11.300 She wants to destroy, not wants to, but her proposal has a pretty high risk of destroying the republic
00:34:18.220 and maybe all of human civilization as a consequence of that.
00:34:23.840 So that's special.
00:34:26.240 So, Biden made his announcement.
00:34:34.560 And he's got a theme for his announcement.
00:34:37.540 His theme is that he will be telling lots of lies about Trump.
00:34:42.360 So that's his theme.
00:34:43.420 So he's going to start with the January 6th lies.
00:34:46.260 He's going to go to the Soul of the Nation.
00:34:48.320 That's the Charlottesville Fine People lie.
00:34:51.940 And probably a few other lies.
00:34:56.220 So he's basing his campaign on lying about Trump.
00:35:00.820 I wouldn't expect much more than that, actually.
00:35:02.840 Do you think that the Democrats are feeling trapped?
00:35:10.360 Do you think that Trump can finish off Biden this time if it turns out to be Trump versus Biden, which is sort of looking like?
00:35:17.020 I don't know.
00:35:21.180 I thought Trump was going to make easy work of Biden the first time, except for, you know, the, the, let's say the changes to the voting system because the pandemic just made everything different.
00:35:34.200 But don't you think Trump has more to work with this time?
00:35:39.100 Last time it was all a hypothetical.
00:35:41.420 Well, if you elect Biden, he will do these bad things.
00:35:44.980 But now we've seen Biden.
00:35:47.240 So there are specific things to talk about, right?
00:35:49.780 Energy, blah, blah, blah.
00:35:50.700 Well, many of you think the system is rigged and that Trump can't win.
00:35:59.380 Do you think that the Republicans will do an adequate job of making sure that they're monitoring elections better?
00:36:08.920 I don't.
00:36:10.280 I don't think the Republicans did anything useful.
00:36:15.620 So I wouldn't be surprised if the campaign makes no difference to the outcome.
00:36:20.700 It wouldn't surprise me.
00:36:22.720 Would it surprise you?
00:36:24.620 Don't you think you could see a campaign that clearly indicates one person is going to win, but then the other person wins and you wouldn't be surprised?
00:36:31.480 Because we don't believe the system at this point.
00:36:34.720 Yeah.
00:36:35.780 So I have no evidence that the election system is rigged.
00:36:41.100 I have no evidence of that.
00:36:42.580 I only have a brain which tells me that if anything can be rigged, it will be.
00:36:52.140 If it can't.
00:36:53.980 And do you think that the election is something that can be rigged?
00:36:58.100 Of course.
00:36:59.840 Of course.
00:37:00.960 In some way, big or small.
00:37:03.560 And someday, today or later, or yesterday.
00:37:06.880 But yeah, it's a rigable system, so therefore it will be, just eventually.
00:37:13.020 We don't know if it happened yet or in the future.
00:37:16.640 All right.
00:37:16.940 So Biden put out his little video.
00:37:22.920 Yeah, he's going to focus on January 6th.
00:37:25.080 Isn't that convenient that Tucker Carlson, the primary person who pushed back on January 6th,
00:37:32.620 disappears right before Biden announces that he's running and it's all going to be about January 6th stuff?
00:37:39.360 Interesting.
00:37:42.520 That's a lucky coincidence for Biden right there.
00:37:46.480 All right.
00:37:47.460 Speaking of January 6th, in a story that reminds me of it,
00:37:51.920 apparently a bunch of left-wing protesters descended on Montana's Capitol,
00:37:58.560 disrupting proceedings in the State House of Representatives.
00:38:02.680 This was in support of transgender lawmaker Zoe Zephyr, a Democrat.
00:38:07.900 Now, what happens when protesters, they disrupt a government proceeding?
00:38:17.380 What's that called?
00:38:19.220 There's a word for that.
00:38:21.860 Insurrection.
00:38:25.320 Yes, insurrection.
00:38:27.120 So the next part of the story is that every one of those left-wing protesters were rounded up and put in jail.
00:38:35.900 Do you believe that?
00:38:38.600 No, of course not.
00:38:40.520 You don't put left-wing protesters in jail?
00:38:43.220 What are you, crazy?
00:38:44.780 Are you crazy?
00:38:47.580 Ray Epps was not there.
00:38:48.920 I know you're going to ask.
00:38:51.600 Okay.
00:38:52.480 Well, so what else can you even say about that story?
00:38:56.440 That you just have to shake your head because you live in such a corrupt country that the Democrats can make this coherent story that only applies to this one situation?
00:39:08.180 But no, that's not going to apply to other situations.
00:39:11.820 No.
00:39:12.080 All right.
00:39:16.400 All right.
00:39:16.440 And do you think that the trans movement is more about left-wing men or left-wing women?
00:39:30.360 Who do you think are the primary backers of the trans movement, besides the trans themselves?
00:39:38.740 Besides the trans themselves? 0.99
00:39:41.560 You're saying men?
00:39:42.720 No, men might be transitioning more often, but who are the non-trans people supporting?
00:39:51.700 Mostly women, right? 1.00
00:39:53.280 So this would be a case of women complaining about men. 1.00
00:39:57.200 And the context here is trans discrimination.
00:40:01.720 All right.
00:40:03.760 So do you see the theme yet?
00:40:05.920 Let's talk about Bud Light.
00:40:08.740 So, you know, you all know the Bud Light story, so I don't have to tell you that.
00:40:12.500 But apparently Bud Light increased sales in some of their other beverages at about the same rate that Bud Light decreased sales.
00:40:21.180 So the Budweiser boycott didn't work at all.
00:40:26.580 In case you're wondering, the Budweiser boycott probably didn't make any difference.
00:40:31.140 You know, Budweiser doesn't like it, and they're paying some expensive people to figure out, you know, how to make their brand good.
00:40:37.380 And I don't know if you saw the clip of Joe Rogan laughing hysterically at Budweiser's new commercial.
00:40:43.680 Because they tried to change the commercial into America and patriotism and Clydesdales.
00:40:50.880 And it was just so over-the-top pathetic that Rogan was just using it as a joke to laugh at it.
00:40:57.260 Yeah.
00:40:57.760 It feels like they've lost their way a little bit, but I don't think they're going to lose their money.
00:41:02.120 So it looks like Budweiser's going to be fine.
00:41:03.740 Let's talk about a U.S. digital currency, which you all want me to talk about, but you're not going to like what I have to say.
00:41:11.620 So that's why I've been avoiding talking about it, because you're not going to like it.
00:41:16.200 All right.
00:41:16.520 Here's what you want me to say.
00:41:17.680 The government is looking at creating a digital currency, not yet to replace cash, but we assume that that's the direction it's going.
00:41:28.480 So what you want me to say is that we should stop this immediately, because as soon as the government can control your money and everywhere you spend it,
00:41:37.360 they can just turn the knob on and off, and they can control you, and that's an unlivable future.
00:41:43.260 So we must stop them from doing digital currency, and I just can't make that argument.
00:41:50.080 Because unfortunately, there's another argument that's bigger than that, which is there's nothing you can do to stop digital currency.
00:41:58.480 Do you seriously think you can stop digital currency from replacing cash?
00:42:04.420 There isn't anything that could do that.
00:42:07.000 There's no protesting.
00:42:08.840 There's nothing that could do that.
00:42:10.260 We absolutely are going to have digital money that the government can control and can control you.
00:42:16.280 I can complain about it, but it's not going to be different.
00:42:20.260 It might delay at six months or something.
00:42:22.880 But no, cash will not be the way we pay for things in 100 years.
00:42:29.740 No.
00:42:30.520 It's just going to be digital, and there's nothing you can do about it.
00:42:34.520 So I see people signing off.
00:42:36.180 Bye-bye.
00:42:37.360 No, I'm not saying that I want it.
00:42:41.180 I'm saying I don't complain about things I can't change.
00:42:44.320 That's not a changeable situation.
00:42:46.140 Now, we might want to figure out how to safeguard our life in that situation.
00:42:53.120 I haven't heard of any ideas for that.
00:42:56.620 If I do, maybe I can back them.
00:42:59.660 But, yeah, there's nothing you can do.
00:43:03.200 We will be completely without privacy, and we will be completely controlled.
00:43:09.040 I don't like it, just to be clear.
00:43:15.980 It's not my first choice, but there's nothing you can do about it.
00:43:21.820 I suppose complaining could make people think of better alternatives, but I don't think there's going to be one.
00:43:27.800 It's going to be digital.
00:43:29.120 Now, I don't think it will be as different in the future as you think it will,
00:43:32.940 because how many of you already pay for things digitally anyway?
00:43:39.040 How many of you are still writing checks or giving cash to people?
00:43:43.480 Don't you pay on Venmo or Google Pay at least, let's say, half or more of your transactions?
00:43:52.660 Don't you?
00:43:53.840 For the little stuff, you know, the little services and stuff?
00:43:56.740 No.
00:43:58.460 You're not there yet?
00:43:59.680 Well, you will be.
00:44:01.080 Yeah, you will be.
00:44:03.100 Sooner or later, this is going to happen.
00:44:04.900 You need to pay somebody cash, and you won't have the cash with you,
00:44:07.640 and you don't have time to go to the ATM.
00:44:10.000 And then you're going to say, well, I have this thing called Venmo I've never used.
00:44:15.440 Does that work?
00:44:16.480 And then the person will say, yeah, that works.
00:44:18.720 Yeah, Apple Pay.
00:44:20.400 I think we're just going to sort of drift into it from convenience,
00:44:23.820 and there's nothing that can change it.
00:44:26.640 All right.
00:44:27.120 If you think of a better spin on that, let me know.
00:44:30.980 Here's news from the Haitian capital.
00:44:36.880 So over in Haiti, where crime is rampant and the gang members are practically running society over there, 1.00
00:44:43.860 this happened.
00:44:45.280 A mob in the Haitian capital pulled 13 suspected gang members from police custody.
00:44:51.280 They actually took the gang members from the police and set them all on fire,
00:44:59.580 put a tire on them.
00:45:01.080 I guess that's sort of the way it's done.
00:45:03.280 Put a tire on them, pour gas on them, and set them on fire.
00:45:06.640 So the law-abiding public in Haiti is so fed up that they actually attacked the police
00:45:16.280 to take custody of their prisoners to murder them in public.
00:45:21.920 Now, that's some serious citizen action right there.
00:45:25.560 Now, I'm not going to say that's a trend, but I don't hate it.
00:45:31.960 I don't hate it.
00:45:33.860 It looks like citizens might have to do what they need to do.
00:45:36.320 And I'm predicting a wave of vigilante action in the U.S.
00:45:46.800 There's only...
00:45:48.320 What do you do if you're in a high-crime area and there's no police?
00:45:52.260 You either have to fight yourself or leave.
00:45:56.720 If you leave, well, you get cancelled, I hear.
00:45:59.600 I hear bad things about people who try to stay away from potential trouble.
00:46:03.860 But, I don't know, I think there's going to be a lot more vigilantism.
00:46:14.980 Also, a lot more mass shootings, because there's so many young men with no purpose.
00:46:22.440 So I think you're going to see a lot more of that.
00:46:24.920 All right, here I'm going to agree with Ibrahim Kendi.
00:46:30.860 Here's something you didn't expect today.
00:46:36.780 So I saw on Twitter, people are tweeting around, Paul Graham had it,
00:46:41.420 the average income of people by ethnic groups in the United States.
00:46:46.240 And what it showed is that the Indian immigrants, who are now Indian American mostly,
00:46:52.820 have the highest income by ethnic group,
00:46:58.420 and then there are various Asian Americans behind them who have high incomes compared to the rest.
00:47:03.740 And some people said,
00:47:06.040 hey, that means that if black people are not doing as well as Indian Americans and Chinese Americans, etc.,
00:47:14.340 that must be something wrong with black culture. 0.99
00:47:19.020 So what is it about these Asian and Indian cultures that allows them to succeed?
00:47:26.140 And the critics say, it must be something with black culture.
00:47:30.740 Now, Ibrahim Kendi says, no, it's systemic racism, and it's not culture.
00:47:35.880 Who do you think is right?
00:47:37.780 Who do you think is right?
00:47:38.940 Is it culture or is it systemic racism?
00:47:41.360 What do you say?
00:47:48.400 Well, I'm going to agree with one of the points that Kendi said, especially,
00:47:54.420 that the immigration paths were different.
00:47:59.060 And that does matter.
00:48:00.780 Do you think that the Asian and Indian American immigrants
00:48:05.320 are coming here with the same disadvantages of a freed slave?
00:48:11.360 It's not even close.
00:48:13.440 I feel as if the people we're getting are often technically proficient,
00:48:19.540 often came from a high-end school in India,
00:48:23.780 are specifically recruited for their skills.
00:48:27.040 They're going to be doctors and technologists and engineers of all kinds.
00:48:30.880 So isn't there a filtering issue going on?
00:48:35.760 Are we not getting the cream of the crop from some countries
00:48:40.420 because of the way we set up the immigration process,
00:48:43.340 whereas the black Americans were brought in on slave ships, many of them,
00:48:49.800 and descended from that?
00:48:53.000 So there's no filtering mechanism, at least that kind of filtering mechanism.
00:48:59.440 I think that's a good point.
00:49:01.620 How many of you think that's not a valid point from Kendi,
00:49:04.340 that the immigration filters differently from different countries at different times?
00:49:09.820 That's valid.
00:49:11.520 There are people actually saying that that's not valid.
00:49:14.360 Now, keep in mind, I'm not saying that's the only thing that's causing differential.
00:49:19.300 I'm not saying it's the only thing, but there's no way that's not a valid point.
00:49:23.400 Come on.
00:49:24.940 Come on.
00:49:26.320 Seriously?
00:49:28.360 You don't think that we have different filters for different countries
00:49:31.940 of who we let in and why?
00:49:35.420 Of course we do.
00:49:37.540 Do you think you would get the same result from Indian Americans 1.00
00:49:42.220 who are flying here on airplanes
00:49:45.860 compared to people flowing across the southern border,
00:49:50.120 which is basically anybody with legs.
00:49:53.460 So if you were to compare any two groups,
00:49:55.800 one group is anybody who has legs,
00:49:58.900 and the other group is people who can figure out
00:50:01.060 how to buy an airplane ticket to get to America.
00:50:04.360 There's no way those two are going to have the same income in 10 years.
00:50:11.080 There's no way.
00:50:11.940 All right.
00:50:14.100 All right.
00:50:15.600 I feel like when I say Kendi, you just want to disagree with him.
00:50:20.560 You would be far more credible if you allowed him the points
00:50:24.220 that are clearly obviously true,
00:50:26.060 which is the immigration paths make a difference.
00:50:29.540 As long as you don't accept all of his points.
00:50:32.880 I'm not saying accept all of his points.
00:50:35.560 That's just one good point.
00:50:37.360 It's just one good point.
00:50:38.460 I think we can agree to that.
00:50:43.660 Now, beyond that,
00:50:46.560 I'm sure there's a cultural difference that makes a difference.
00:50:50.840 It feels like it.
00:50:52.160 But that's just anecdotal.
00:50:54.180 I don't have any science to support that.
00:50:56.440 But it looks like it.
00:50:57.800 It looks like it.
00:50:59.040 So from the outside,
00:51:00.800 our poor powers of observation sure looks like it.
00:51:05.040 I just don't have any scientific evidence that would back that point.
00:51:10.580 And I would definitely back Kendi for saying that there is systemic racism in the school system,
00:51:17.300 for example.
00:51:17.940 That would be my best example of it.
00:51:20.860 So.
00:51:21.780 All right.
00:51:22.400 So did you catch my theme of the day?
00:51:28.540 Every time we put men and women together, 0.98
00:51:31.360 it's a problem for white men.
00:51:34.360 And every time you put black people and white men together, 0.95
00:51:38.360 it's a problem for white men.
00:51:40.460 Okay.
00:51:40.940 Not every time.
00:51:42.520 You know,
00:51:43.000 every time I say every time,
00:51:44.620 you shouldn't believe every time.
00:51:46.400 That's obvious hyperbole.
00:51:47.820 So all of this is obvious hyperbole when you double cancel before it.
00:51:52.780 It's probably going to happen.
00:51:53.880 Probably going to get double,
00:51:54.880 triple canceled today.
00:51:56.500 But there is a real problem of people working together now.
00:52:01.180 There's a real problem.
00:52:02.940 It's actually dangerous to be around other people.
00:52:07.680 Am I wrong?
00:52:09.160 It's actually dangerous to be around other people.
00:52:12.160 Even if you think you're not breaking a law.
00:52:14.840 You might think you're just being yourself,
00:52:16.620 or you think,
00:52:18.000 oh,
00:52:18.320 I just tell the truth.
00:52:19.860 That's maybe what you think about yourself.
00:52:21.880 But other people are like,
00:52:23.020 oh,
00:52:23.200 I'm going to cancel you,
00:52:24.240 mofo.
00:52:25.120 I'm going to get a little,
00:52:26.040 I'm going to get a little dopamine hit from canceling you.
00:52:29.360 I don't want to be around anybody who gets a dopamine hit from canceling me.
00:52:33.440 Did you see AOC's glee when Tucker Carlson parted with Fox News?
00:52:39.920 Like watching her little video of how happy she was.
00:52:43.160 I mean,
00:52:43.360 she was genuinely happy.
00:52:44.700 That's a dopamine hit.
00:52:47.720 Don't be around anybody who would be that happy if something bad happened to you.
00:52:52.620 Is that good advice?
00:52:54.340 Don't be around somebody who would be happy and get a dopamine charge just for seeing something bad happening to you.
00:53:01.960 Get away from that as far as you can.
00:53:03.580 All right.
00:53:07.700 That's my general theme.
00:53:09.400 Men and women,
00:53:10.260 we're dangerous to each other.
00:53:13.980 All right.
00:53:16.480 The uniparty idea.
00:53:18.440 No,
00:53:18.760 I don't buy the uniparty idea.
00:53:20.540 I buy individuals doing individual things,
00:53:23.800 and it sums up to something that looks like a uniparty.
00:53:26.320 I don't buy the uniparty.
00:53:29.320 Well,
00:53:30.020 we definitely have a uniparty when it comes to war.
00:53:33.240 So there's no argument on that.
00:53:34.780 Your kids have canceled you because you're afraid of woke culture.
00:53:47.820 All right.
00:53:49.360 All right.
00:53:49.900 So here's something I'm no longer going to entertain.
00:53:52.360 Please do not ask me to comment on people from different political parties running as one party.
00:54:01.360 I'm not going to comment on RFK Jr. maybe being on the ticket with Trump.
00:54:07.280 Just stop.
00:54:08.600 That's not going to happen.
00:54:10.340 That is not worth talking about.
00:54:12.640 There isn't any chance.
00:54:17.080 All right.
00:54:17.800 All right.
00:54:22.360 And so what else is going on?
00:54:25.840 I continue to use AI with no success whatsoever.
00:54:31.380 Has anybody used AI for anything successful?
00:54:35.940 Where it saved you time and made you some money or something?
00:54:41.560 Yeah.
00:54:42.340 I've been looking.
00:54:43.500 So far, it's just extra work.
00:54:47.020 I mean,
00:54:47.520 one assumes that the upside is tremendous,
00:54:50.320 but nothing yet.
00:54:56.080 All right.
00:54:59.440 Charging higher fees for people with good credit scores.
00:55:02.680 Well, the Democrats are consistent in ignoring human motivation.
00:55:08.400 So the story about people with higher credit having to pay extra to pay for people with bad credit
00:55:13.620 is one of those stories.
00:55:15.400 The story about Elizabeth Warren wants to pack the court as if the Republicans won't repack it when they take charge.
00:55:23.840 All right.
00:55:24.020 It's a ridiculous idea.
00:55:25.880 Ridiculous.
00:55:27.020 Frickin' idea.
00:55:28.380 But each of these ridiculous ideas has the same problem.
00:55:31.960 It ignores human motivation.
00:55:34.820 All right.
00:55:35.160 If you ignore how humans are and how they normally are and how they normally act,
00:55:40.000 you cannot build a system.
00:55:41.420 And that's consistently what the Democrats do.
00:55:44.780 They ignore human motivation.
00:55:49.860 All right.
00:55:54.600 Using mid-journey for film production right now.
00:55:57.640 Well, I'll bet you spend extra time and don't get any extra benefit from it.
00:56:04.380 Democrats announced their 2020 foreign nominee.
00:56:09.440 Okay, Biden, I guess.
00:56:10.500 All right.
00:56:14.180 At Biden's current rate of decline, what do you expect by next year?
00:56:21.260 Is he going to be even a little bit functional?
00:56:24.160 And what do the Democrats do about Kamala?
00:56:30.260 You know what would be interesting?
00:56:31.440 If Trump just ran against Kamala by just not mentioning Biden, by saying he's irrelevant.
00:56:43.120 He could actually just say, all right, I'm running for president against Kamala Harris.
00:56:48.320 And then people would say, no, no, Biden's the top of the ticket.
00:56:52.440 And then you just look at him and you go, right.
00:56:55.740 Yeah, that's funny.
00:56:58.680 You actually, he could just pretend Biden isn't running.
00:57:02.660 Just imagine that.
00:57:04.020 Imagine Trump running for president by simply acting or playing as though Biden is not in the race.
00:57:11.220 And just say Kamala Harris whenever he talks about their candidate.
00:57:14.840 Just don't even act like he's part of the process.
00:57:18.760 Yeah.
00:57:19.520 Say Joe Biden is babbling with his dementia, making some claims about January 6th and the good people hoax.
00:57:27.040 He can't tell a hoax from reality.
00:57:29.320 He's so far out of it.
00:57:30.300 But it looks like I'm really running against Kamala Harris.
00:57:34.660 So if you think Kamala Harris can do a better job than me, vote Democrat. 0.86
00:57:41.880 So Susan Rice resigned, which is making people speculate that she could be a vice presidential running mate. 1.00
00:57:50.020 What do you think of that?
00:57:52.640 That does sound like it.
00:57:55.660 Does that sound likely?
00:57:56.980 Wouldn't Susan Rice be the Obama handler, like the one that Obama would use to handle Biden?
00:58:09.500 So to me, that doesn't sound crazy.
00:58:13.000 If you were going to predict what Democrats want to happen, I think what they want to happen is Susan Rice to replace Kamala.
00:58:21.980 Kamala, but ideally they'd like to replace Biden, I guess.
00:58:30.140 All right.
00:58:32.860 Oh, someone says that Susan Rice was not left enough, so she got pushed down for not being left enough. 0.98
00:58:40.080 Well, not being left enough might be a perfect vice president.
00:58:45.400 Because you don't want somebody who's too left.
00:58:48.140 She's horrible for this country, some people say, that Susan Rice. 1.00
00:58:55.400 I don't know enough about her.
00:58:57.120 I don't really have a...
00:59:02.940 Is there a Susan Rice and a Condoleezza Rice?
00:59:06.860 Two Rices? 1.00
00:59:10.880 What are the odds that there would be two Rices? 1.00
00:59:12.660 Two Rices. 1.00
00:59:12.780 All right.
00:59:20.240 She's just Obama as a woman. 0.98
00:59:26.460 All right.
00:59:28.200 Well, could Obama transition and then run again?
00:59:35.020 Interesting.
00:59:37.920 No, it would still be him, though.
00:59:39.520 So technically it would still be him.
00:59:41.380 So he couldn't do it.
00:59:42.780 All right.
00:59:46.700 I don't think I have anything else left to say, so we're going to end this conversation now for YouTube.
00:59:53.560 YouTube, thanks for joining.
00:59:55.940 Let's fix the country tomorrow.
00:59:58.060 We'll do that tomorrow.
00:59:58.720 We'll do that tomorrow.
00:59:58.740 All right.
00:59:59.460 We'll do that tomorrow.
01:00:00.120 Let's do that tomorrow.
01:00:04.860 Bye.
01:00:05.480 Bye.
01:00:06.520 Bye.
01:00:08.520 Bye.
