Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization, today with
00:00:13.900
As soon as you saw me in my colorful blue t-shirt, you said, my God, it matches your
00:00:17.860
eyes so well and makes me happy just to see it.
00:00:20.580
But if you think you're as happy as you could be, not even close, not even close.
00:00:26.460
And if you'd like to take it up to the next level, all you need is a cup or a mug or
00:00:30.820
a glass, a tanker, chalice, or stein, a canteen jug or flask, a vessel of any kind.
00:00:39.580
And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine hit of the day, the thing
00:01:12.460
I was watching YouTube yesterday, The Y Files, one of my favorite new YouTube shows, about
00:01:19.720
all kinds of weird things and mysteries and such, and they had this long program about
00:01:25.460
all the giants that had been found around the world.
00:01:31.640
Apparently, they're just all kinds of burial sites where they've dug up bones and found
00:01:51.200
All over the world, these giant bones were being dug up and often sent to the Smithsonian.
00:01:58.120
So you'd ask yourself, is the Smithsonian full of giant skeletons?
00:02:07.040
Many giant skeletons have been sent to the Smithsonian, and they keep losing them.
00:02:11.440
Sometimes, as the news reports said, the bones, once exposed to air, crumbled back into dust.
00:02:29.880
And right before our eyes, it turned into dust.
00:02:35.820
But there were giant bones all over the world that as soon as they hit the air, boom.
00:02:42.420
What's weird is that they wait until you take a picture.
00:02:50.140
You'll carefully remove the dirt with little brushes until you've got this nice giant skeleton.
00:03:32.580
But somewhere near me, Champlain, maybe Champlain.
00:03:42.540
But we were told this story about a giant that had been discovered.
00:03:54.680
In fact, it's one of the most common hoaxes, that they found giant bones.
00:03:59.920
My guess is they've been finding giant bones in every civilization forever.
00:04:04.440
And they've all got, you know, giant myths and stuff.
00:04:07.980
However, I would like to just add this little bit of hope.
00:04:18.420
I'd like to think they were so big, it explains how the pyramids got built.
00:04:23.060
They just, like, picked up one block at a time, like, argh, giant.
00:04:34.220
Speaking of fake news, here's the treatment that CNN gives RFK Jr.
00:04:43.220
So I'm going to read you the headline, and then I'm going to read you what he said.
00:04:50.220
Do you think that the headline of what he said matches what he said in the same article?
00:04:57.340
Here's the headline by Abby Turner and Andrew Kaczynski on CNN.
00:05:04.220
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. repeatedly suggested that chemicals in water are impacting sexuality of children.
00:05:13.500
He repeatedly suggested, so here's the key word, suggested, that the chemicals in water are.
00:05:23.460
And then you read the article for his own words.
00:05:25.540
And it says, you know, experts dispute the claim, blah, blah, blah.
00:05:30.360
But Kennedy told CNN's K-Files his theories that, quote,
00:05:35.520
sexual identification and gender confusion among children could be from their exposure to, quote,
00:05:49.340
So he basically said there's a correlation or something that should be looked into.
00:05:55.980
And the headline turned it into, repeatedly suggested that chemicals in water are impacting sexuality of children.
00:06:03.580
Now, suggesting that they are, that's kind of similar to could.
00:06:10.620
But when you separate the suggested from the are in the sentence, it's like you forget the suggested and you get to the are.
00:06:22.660
If you said to me there's a guy who's worried about something in the water that doesn't belong there,
00:06:29.500
and there's some indication, I'm no scientist, but some indication it could have a correlation with their sexual hormones,
00:06:41.420
Is it crazy to say that a chemical that we have, some indication would do this exact thing, this exact thing,
00:06:54.340
At what point did RFK Jr. say he's sure that it's the problem?
00:07:02.240
He said there's a correlation, there's a reason to look into it.
00:07:05.340
Now, the experts apparently have said they looked into it and found nothing.
00:07:11.260
So, CNN fake news being their usual CNN fake news selves.
00:07:17.780
Tim Scott, so I'm getting a little heat online, because when he was asked about, I think it might have been Pierce,
00:07:26.960
Oregon, they asked him what he was going to do for black Americans,
00:07:29.980
and his answer was, I look forward to presenting a solution that works for all of America.
00:07:35.820
So, Tim Scott did not take the bait of what he was going to do special for the black population of America.
00:07:43.680
Rather, he was going to do something that works for all Americans.
00:07:46.640
Of course, I saw him being criticized by at least one black influencer who was saying,
00:07:52.640
of course he's going to do nothing for us, those Republicans.
00:07:57.720
Well, I have exactly the opposite point of view.
00:08:02.600
I think Tim Scott and the Supreme Court and a number of other people have finally, finally allowed,
00:08:13.400
I'll say allowed, that's the wrong word, but you know what I mean,
00:08:16.840
that black Americans can be treated as full citizens now.
00:08:20.340
And I don't think that was true even a year ago.
00:08:24.100
I feel like black America got the biggest promotion since the end of slavery,
00:08:29.060
in the sense that now they're fully competitive,
00:08:34.260
fully considered in every way the equal of everybody else.
00:08:41.000
And people have just stopped asking the question.
00:08:44.680
So, the question of what to do special for black America
00:08:50.760
and to guarantee that discrimination continues.
00:08:55.060
Because if you're treating one group of people like they're retards,
00:09:04.000
We're treating one group of citizens like they couldn't compete.
00:09:24.480
I remind you that whenever black Americans have had full and free access to markets,
00:09:35.200
Sports, you know, when black people couldn't even participate in sports in America,
00:09:40.060
well, as soon as they could participate fully, dominated.
00:09:48.560
sign a black musician at some point in history because they were black.
00:10:11.020
You know, he's doing the politician version of it.
00:10:14.880
But I don't think it means the same as it has in the past.
00:10:18.840
I think there's genuinely a promotion involved here.
00:10:29.780
stories about everything from reparations to any kind of special treatment,
00:10:34.480
I feel like I'm not going to cover them the same.
00:10:41.040
Do you even imagine that we should be doing that?
00:10:56.420
To me, it feels like the greatest thing that's happened,
00:11:03.260
that's a psychological effect that's happening inside my head.
00:11:06.680
I don't know if any of you are having the same feeling.
00:11:09.660
Is there anybody here who's had the same feeling at all?
00:11:23.940
There will be some individuals who don't get that,
00:11:58.780
The news is serving up some delicious stuff today.
00:12:20.700
And it does look like some amount of the inflation
00:20:17.200
I would say that's the least likely possibility
