00:00:00.000 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization.
00:00:06.180 It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and I think we can say you've never had a better time.
00:00:11.560 And that time is going to get better in a moment.
00:00:14.740 Yes, we can take it to the next level.
00:00:17.960 All you need is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or a chalice, a stye, and a canteen jug or flask, a vessel of any kind.
00:00:25.320 Wow, there's something very loud running over me, like a helicopter or something.
00:00:30.000 But if you'd like to take this experience up, join me now for the dopamine of the day.
00:00:40.460 The thing that makes everything better, the simultaneous sip.
00:00:43.600 Go.
00:00:48.000 Ah, that helicopter took me off my pace.
00:00:53.840 Well, we're right back on.
00:00:55.080 All right, so is everybody comfortable calling Twitter X yet?
00:01:01.260 Have you all adjusted to that?
00:01:03.800 But I'm noticing that on Twitter itself, the trendy name for X is a combination of X and Twitter, which they're spelling X-I-T-T-E-R.
00:01:13.980 And some people are pronouncing the X like an asterisk sound.
00:01:21.840 So this is a real thing that happened.
00:01:24.660 In the real world, Elon Musk, who is famous for sending tweets while he was on the toilet, like literally while he was on the toilet, buys the company and then changes the name to X.
00:01:41.180 But people don't know what to call tweeting if it's X.
00:01:44.380 And so the public has decided that the name of the company he owns is Shitter.
00:01:51.380 So the man who tweeted from the toilet spent $44 billion to buy a company he renamed to Shitter.
00:01:58.820 Now, he didn't intentionally rename it to Shitter, but it sort of happened.
00:02:03.620 And, you know, it's like President Xi, XI, right?
00:02:09.960 So there's that.
00:02:11.100 That happened.
00:02:12.180 Did you see the story about the Obama's personal chef, I guess, drowned while paddleboarding nearby the compound of the Obama's?
00:02:26.860 Now, this raises some questions.
00:02:32.900 Raises some questions.
00:02:34.780 So one of them is, how do you drown?
00:02:39.440 You know, apparently he was a skilled swimmer.
00:02:42.480 But there was something weird about the drowning, so there's some other factor that went on there.
00:02:47.320 But I remember sitting there and thinking to myself, I've seen a lot of people paddleboard.
00:02:54.180 Haven't you?
00:02:54.640 Have you seen a lot of people paddleboarding?
00:02:57.860 Because, you know, if you go to Hawaii, they're always doing it.
00:03:00.040 I used to live in Alameda.
00:03:02.060 I'd be paddleboarding all the time outside.
00:03:05.580 And I've never seen a black guy paddleboard.
00:03:11.420 So that was the first thing that caught me about this story.
00:03:14.360 But I said to myself, wait a minute, that's kind of racist.
00:03:18.580 So I'm not going to say that.
00:03:20.300 It was just like a private thought.
00:03:21.900 I was like, wow, that's interesting.
00:03:22.980 Of all the paddleboarders I've ever seen, I've never seen a black guy paddleboarding.
00:03:28.200 Now, of course, I wouldn't say that, because, you know, why would he even bring it up, right?
00:03:32.520 Like, what's that got to do with anything?
00:03:34.020 It's a tragedy.
00:03:35.240 Why would he even bring that up?
00:03:37.000 And then I saw a tweet from Dom Luker, who calls himself the breaker of narratives, who's really fun to follow.
00:03:44.660 He is black.
00:03:46.820 So he can tweet things that I can't tweet.
00:03:48.940 So I'm going to read you his tweet, because he so perfectly captured what was in my head.
00:03:56.400 But he can say it in a way I can't say it.
00:03:59.240 So this is way funnier if you can pronounce the N-word, which I can't.
00:04:04.220 So just in your mind, when I say N-word, you should replace it with the real N-word, except with ending with an A, letter A.
00:04:13.720 So it's the casual form of the N-word, right?
00:04:17.060 And for some reason, that makes a difference.
00:04:19.480 This is funnier if you do it with an A on the end.
00:04:22.160 So just in your head, do that.
00:04:23.820 So I'll read it.
00:04:24.340 It's from Dom Luker, D-O-M-L-U-C-R-E.
00:04:28.540 He's a good follow on Twitter.
00:04:30.860 I like his tweets.
00:04:33.240 He tweets about it.
00:04:34.200 He goes, now, how the hell did this man end up dead with the Obamas when he used to cook for Bush?
00:04:40.660 And what the hell was a N-word doing in a paddle boat at night? 1.00
00:04:47.140 N-words really don't be in the water like that.
00:04:50.080 Now, I felt like the worst person in the world.
00:05:20.080 Because I can't help but laugh at that.
00:05:22.320 You know, it's like a human tragedy, right?
00:05:24.880 So it's so easy to, like when you're watching social media, it's so easy to just skip past the human tragedy and get to what's funny about it.
00:05:37.100 But, so in order for me not to be a hypocrite, I'll make you this order, this offer.
00:05:44.160 In order for me not to be a hypocrite, should I die under suspicious circumstances, which I think is at least a 50-50 bet.
00:05:53.480 If I die in suspicious circumstances of any kind, I would like you to have fun with it.
00:06:00.720 You have my full permission.
00:06:03.240 All right?
00:06:03.500 If I go down in a plane, whatever it is, you should just know this is my official public permission.
00:06:12.500 I'm going to be dead.
00:06:13.560 If you could have some fun with it, please do.
00:06:18.520 Please do.
00:06:19.720 So I'm not defending that I'm laughing at this joke.
00:06:23.500 It's just funny.
00:06:25.200 But I won't be a hypocrite.
00:06:27.080 If you laugh at me when I'm dead, I would love it if you would enjoy it.
00:06:30.440 But now this opens the problem of the Obamas, they're going to need to replace their personal chef. 1.00
00:06:38.700 I hear they're interviewing somebody named Purgosian.
00:06:43.480 Somebody named Purgosian.
00:06:45.360 He was available.
00:06:46.780 Don't know a lot about him.
00:06:49.080 Some say he was Russian.
00:06:50.560 I don't know.
00:06:52.100 Well, let's talk about the fake news.
00:06:53.760 New York Post says that a man, 71 years old, has been charged with setting a massive Yosemite Park fire that was initially blamed on climate change.
00:07:05.100 That's right.
00:07:08.200 My nose runs when I laugh too hard.
00:07:12.340 That's right.
00:07:12.960 It wasn't climate change that set the fire in Yosemite.
00:07:15.920 It was actually a man, a 71-year-old man.
00:07:18.460 Now, here's another private thought I had that I should probably keep private.
00:07:28.140 But is it my imagination, or when you hear that a forest fire has been set, like by a person intentionally set a forest fire,
00:07:37.540 don't you automatically think white man?
00:07:42.200 Yes or no?
00:07:44.000 Your first thought, white man, right?
00:07:48.460 I'm sorry to say it, but I believe white men are overperforming in the forest fire setting, and I would say the mass shootings. 0.77
00:08:02.000 So, I'd like to keep my brand as clean as possible.
00:08:06.960 If I could speak to the white men listening, don't set any forest fires. 0.96
00:08:13.620 That kind of comes back on me a little bit, you know what I mean?
00:08:16.320 The mass shootings, could you try to reduce those a little bit, because you're killing my brand, right?
00:08:23.840 My brand is, you know, law-abiding, and you're killing it.
00:08:27.780 You're just killing it.
00:08:28.740 Stop setting forests on fire.
00:08:31.740 That's all I had to say about that.
00:08:33.900 All right, now, we have our first, I don't believe this has ever happened,
00:08:37.780 but, you know, I've described what I call summer news, you know, the recreational outrage.
00:08:43.920 So, recreational outrage is when you miss, usually it happens the same way.
00:08:48.980 You misinterpret a public figure.
00:08:51.980 So, a public figure said something that, you know, was not controversial,
00:08:55.640 but somebody intentionally takes it out of context and turns it into a story,
00:09:00.780 so there's something to talk about in the summer.
00:09:02.400 And these are not real stories, but we have our first ever double summer story.
00:09:11.720 It's a summer story about a summer story.
00:09:14.840 I'll explain.
00:09:16.280 So, a normal summer story is somebody saying that somebody said something they didn't say.
00:09:20.500 You know, I take it out of context.
00:09:21.600 So, it starts out with the fake outrage that Kamala Harris was showing about the alleged,
00:09:31.660 and, of course, this didn't happen in the real world,
00:09:34.060 that the school curriculum in Florida says that the slaves were happy
00:09:39.620 because they were learning these new skills that they could use for their personal benefit.
00:09:44.700 And so, of course, what really happened was a simple reporting
00:09:49.740 that has been, you know, widely documented by historians
00:09:53.020 that slaves were learning skills on top of just, you know, working in fields.
00:09:59.440 You know, maybe, you know, learning to, I don't know, shoe a horse or something like that.
00:10:03.900 And that it's not, it's really not controversial to say
00:10:07.840 that literally everybody who learns any skill that's useful,
00:10:11.360 probably they could use that through their advantage.
00:10:15.520 But, of course, nobody's saying that that made slavery a good deal
00:10:18.960 because they had good skill training.
00:10:21.840 Literally nobody in the world would even have that thought.
00:10:25.560 But we're going to pretend, as Kamala Harris says,
00:10:28.900 we're going to pretend that what somebody really meant to say
00:10:31.760 was, well, you know, that slavery wasn't so bad.
00:10:35.380 Now, of course, every normal person knows that nobody said that.
00:10:39.240 Nobody thought it.
00:10:40.120 It simply didn't happen in the real world.
00:10:43.460 But Kamala Harris is doing this whole, you know,
00:10:46.060 outrage tour, acting like it did.
00:10:48.940 All right.
00:10:49.560 So the story, so that's the summer story.
00:10:51.980 Pretending something happened and it didn't and then acting outraged.
00:10:55.480 So The Five, TV show The Five on Fox News,
00:11:01.560 was talking about that.
00:11:03.540 So they're covering the summer story.
00:11:05.260 And in the back and forth on that,
00:11:08.480 a point was made about the Holocaust.
00:11:12.720 And I'm not even going to talk about it.
00:11:18.200 Let's say this.
00:11:19.760 So Greg Goffeld made some comment in response to a comment about the Holocaust,
00:11:25.040 which Bill Kristol and some other people decided
00:11:28.200 was somehow Greg Goffeld saying that the Holocaust had an upside. 0.96
00:11:36.020 Now, do I need to give you any details to know that that never happened in the real world?
00:11:40.660 You know that, right?
00:11:41.600 I don't need to tell you the details.
00:11:44.280 I don't need to tell you the full sentence.
00:11:46.740 I don't need to tell you that he specifically referenced a book.
00:11:50.800 And the book is the source, you know, of what the topic was about.
00:11:55.380 And I don't have to tell you that Greg got summer newsed.
00:12:02.160 So he's actually a guy who talks about summer news,
00:12:05.080 which is the whole idea that people make up a thing and then act outraged.
00:12:10.100 So he's talking about people making up stuff and acting outraged.
00:12:13.800 In the process of it, a Holocaust reference was made,
00:12:18.200 which somebody took out of that and acted like he was saying
00:12:21.800 there was something good about the Holocaust. 1.00
00:12:24.740 Bill Kristol.
00:12:26.220 Now, do you all know who Bill Kristol is?
00:12:29.540 How many of you recognize his name and understand who he is?
00:12:36.120 Well, let me just say this about Bill Kristol.
00:12:40.100 I would call him the Eric Swalwell of Adam Schiffs.
00:12:47.180 I'll just let that sink in for a moment.
00:12:49.680 I might say it twice because it was so clever.
00:12:52.260 That's right.
00:12:52.740 I'm going to say it twice.
00:12:54.100 Bill Kristol is the Eric Swalwell of Adam Schiffs.
00:12:58.760 I'll take a moment while you laugh at that out loud.
00:13:01.420 It was pretty darn good.
00:13:02.460 I worked hard at it.
00:13:03.720 And I'm proud of it.
00:13:04.560 Yeah, no, anything that Bill Kristol says, you should just laugh at.
00:13:10.580 So there are some people who are really handy for understanding news.
00:13:15.320 If you're new to news, like you haven't followed it, but you decide,
00:13:18.760 oh, I think I'd like to get into watching the news more.
00:13:21.980 There are some names that are synonymous with we send out the liars.
00:13:26.580 Bill Kristol is synonymous with illegitimate opinions, opinions that no real person could actually have.
00:13:35.240 This is one of those.
00:13:36.580 This is an opinion, the opinion that he stated on Chitter is one that nobody could have.
00:13:42.780 Like nobody could have listened to that and come up with the opinion he's pretending to have
00:13:46.680 so he could have some outrage.
00:13:49.320 Greg Gutfeld, outrage.
00:13:51.220 Courage.
00:13:51.980 Right.
00:13:52.800 So am I right this is the first double summer news?
00:13:56.620 Has anybody ever seen a nested fake news within a fake news?
00:14:01.880 I think it's the first.
00:14:03.640 But I'm so glad that Bill Kristol is the one that did it,
00:14:06.680 because he's one of those signals that you shouldn't believe any part of the story.
00:14:11.420 You know, it's sort of like Clapper, James Clapper.
00:14:15.620 If you see James Clapper appear on CNN, it is so useful,
00:14:22.100 because everything he says will be a lie, and then you can know what's true.
00:14:27.240 Right?
00:14:27.860 Who's the other guy who's Brennan?
00:14:31.280 If you see Brennan come back, you can be sure that the truth is the opposite of what he's saying.
00:14:37.280 It's very useful.
00:14:38.760 Bill Kristol is one of those.
00:14:40.100 Eric Swalwell is one of those.
00:14:41.500 Adam Schiff is one of those.
00:14:42.580 Because they're super reliable in telling you what's not true.
00:14:47.940 Because they literally send out the same little gang of liars for the big lies.
00:14:54.200 There's a set of people who will literally say anything,
00:14:57.000 and you see any of that little liar group, you go, oh, that's not true.
00:15:01.800 Now, let me ask you this.
00:15:03.860 Is there a similar group on the right?
00:15:06.060 Is there a similar group of people that as soon as you see them, you say to yourself,
00:15:11.420 oh, okay, that's telling me that the opposite is true?
00:15:16.200 No, I wouldn't.
00:15:17.480 No, I'm talking about in, you say, Romney?
00:15:23.400 I don't see that.
00:15:25.940 Chris Wray, well, I don't know what's going on with Chris Wray.
00:15:30.580 Lindsey Graham.
00:15:31.460 You know, the difference is that they're not all consistently wrong.
00:15:37.880 I know, I could be operating totally in bias here,
00:15:41.280 but it feels like there's a really useful group of people on the left to tell you what's not true,
00:15:47.500 because they're the ones who are saying it is true.
00:15:50.600 All right, what other lies do we have in the news?
00:15:52.920 Oh, by the way, Greg Gutfeld's new book, The King of Late Night, just dropped.
00:15:57.720 So you can get that today.
00:15:59.240 I believe my copy is going to show up today.
00:16:02.340 Can you believe that Amazon can give you, like, a brand new book the day it comes out?
00:16:08.660 So, believe it or not, Amazon's going to deliver his book on the publication date.
00:16:14.620 That's, like, really impressive.
00:16:17.040 It's going to be on my door the day it's published.
00:16:20.820 That's just crazy.
00:16:21.860 It's easy to, let me give a shout-out to Jeff Bezos for a moment, some positivity.
00:16:29.420 Jeff Bezos is really good at stuff, to say the least, the obvious.
00:16:35.400 The fact that Amazon's software and their whole process, it works flawlessly most of the time is really just ridiculous.
00:16:47.400 The level of capability and competence throughout Amazon from top to bottom, it's like a global treasure at this point.
00:16:58.920 I mean, it's amazing.
00:16:59.640 I'm always just blown away by Amazon as a company.
00:17:03.900 All right.
00:17:04.120 And the people who work at Amazon must be pretty awesome collectively because what they're doing collectively is just ridiculous.
00:17:15.020 Just ridiculous.
00:17:15.700 Ridiculously good.
00:17:18.200 Well, Ray Epps is, as you know, suing Fox News for putting him in the limelight as if he might have had something to do with January 6th
00:17:28.200 because there's video of him having something to do with it in terms of advocating going in there.
00:17:35.260 And apparently the complaint reveals that Epps is being criminally charged for January 6th.
00:17:44.040 So does that destroy the entire narrative that Epps must be a Fed because nobody charged him?
00:17:52.260 Is anybody willing to say that maybe you're wrong because he was charged the whole time?
00:17:57.820 Apparently it's been a while he's been charged.
00:18:00.380 No, you're not willing to back off on that?
00:18:04.000 But is there anybody here who would at least, can you give me at least this?
00:18:09.560 That one of the reasons you thought he must be a Fed, just one of them, it's not the only reason,
00:18:14.040 but one of them is that he wasn't charged.
00:18:17.200 Wasn't that the main part of the argument?
00:18:20.620 I would encourage you, for your own benefit, to acknowledge if you got that wrong.
00:18:30.440 I did.
00:18:31.160 That was one of the factors in my decision-making, is that it appeared he was not being charged.
00:18:41.540 But suppose he is, and suppose the charges are real.
00:18:44.280 Would that change your mind about his probable involvement?
00:18:51.340 No?
00:18:51.780 Well, I think you should put some questions in it.
00:18:56.100 The fact that he's suing, let's just look at it objectively, all right?
00:19:00.540 I'm in the group of people who very much thought there's something suspicious going on with Ray Epps.
00:19:05.820 All right?
00:19:06.120 So I'm very much in that group.
00:19:07.460 However, if it's true he's suing Fox News, the first thing that that tells me is he's not afraid of all the information coming out.
00:19:17.860 Now, that's interesting, right?
00:19:19.860 That does show that he's willing to do disclosure, which would clearly include, is he doing anything suspicious as a Fed?
00:19:29.800 Because that's the very charge.
00:19:31.960 So Fox News now, presumably, would have to defend themselves by showing that their reporting was based on something real.
00:19:41.800 Was it based on simply not knowing that he had been charged?
00:19:46.040 Would Fox News have gone hard at him if he had been charged like everybody else, and they knew it?
00:19:51.580 Or is it possible that the charges are actually to cover him?
00:19:56.640 Can we take it deeper?
00:19:57.640 Can we go even further into the rabbit hole?
00:20:01.380 So let's say that he's only being protected by giving him some fake charges that will never be completed.
00:20:10.140 It'll never go through the system.
00:20:12.040 But why is it we haven't heard of a trial, right?
00:20:16.300 How long has he been charged, and I haven't heard of a trial?
00:20:19.740 So are the charges bogus, meaning that they know that he's not going to be convicted,
00:20:25.660 but they need to give him a little cover?
00:20:27.640 Well, I think it would depend on the timing, wouldn't it?
00:20:32.680 So I think part of it is Ray Epps is saying he would not have been charged,
00:20:37.380 except for the pressure brought by Fox News and others, I guess.
00:20:43.000 Yeah.
00:20:43.960 I don't know.
00:20:44.480 So I'm going to say this pushes me solidly into the, huh, category on Ray Epps.
00:20:52.200 So I would say that my tentative opinion was certainly not a confirmed opinion,
00:20:56.720 or I never had a certainty about Ray Epps.
00:21:00.000 I've never felt a certainty.
00:21:01.460 I just had the same questions everybody did.
00:21:04.080 You know, why was he seemingly treated differently?
00:21:06.220 But if the current evidence is that he was not treated differently,
00:21:11.440 and of course I have questions about that too,
00:21:14.600 but the current reporting makes him look innocent.
00:21:18.700 How many of you hate hearing that?
00:21:26.880 Because it felt like he was like the explanation to everything.
00:21:30.640 You know, if you understood Ray Epps,
00:21:33.020 maybe you'd understand the whole situation or something.
00:21:35.700 But he might be just a patriot who was there doing his thing.
00:21:40.360 It might be.
00:21:41.460 It's entirely possible he was just doing things.
00:21:44.160 Now the question is, why wasn't he in jail?
00:21:47.100 Okay, that's a good question.
00:21:48.820 Did you see him doing anything violent?
00:21:51.400 And he wasn't, he wasn't, he never entered the building,
00:21:54.540 and he didn't do anything violent,
00:21:56.080 and he didn't incite any violence.
00:21:59.160 Did he?
00:22:01.140 So I understand your question,
00:22:03.580 and I would, I back your question.
00:22:06.580 It's the right question.
00:22:07.820 Why is he not in jail?
00:22:09.460 But there is a reason.
00:22:10.960 I mean, you could easily think of a reason
00:22:12.440 that the charges have different levels.
00:22:14.740 He didn't enter the building.
00:22:16.080 He didn't hurt anybody.
00:22:17.000 He didn't recommend hurting anybody.
00:22:19.820 I would think that would be the lowest level of charge,
00:22:23.200 almost trespassing, barely trespassing.
00:22:27.680 So let me state this.
00:22:30.220 I do not say for certain that he's innocent.
00:22:34.040 I do not say for certain that he is guilty.
00:22:37.880 I think that events went his way.
00:22:40.960 At the moment, it looks like things are going his way.
00:22:44.440 And I'm going to put down my stake.
00:22:48.780 Boom.
00:22:49.980 Is he an American citizen?
00:22:51.620 Yes or no?
00:22:52.800 Ray Epps.
00:22:54.020 American citizen?
00:22:55.120 Yes or no?
00:22:56.820 Yes.
00:22:58.280 Therefore, innocent until proven guilty.
00:23:00.540 And given this new information that he's actually been charged,
00:23:04.660 I think my tolerance for hearing that he's probably guilty is very low right now.
00:23:09.520 Very low.
00:23:10.820 Doesn't mean I know whether he is guilty of anything or not.
00:23:14.060 I'm not defending him, not attacking him.
00:23:16.360 I'm saying that my tolerance for calling an American citizen guilty in public 0.82
00:23:23.440 when this is the information we know that he has been charged, inappropriate.
00:23:29.340 Totally inappropriate.
00:23:30.920 Now, I'm not saying there's not a cover-up and maybe there's more to know.
00:23:35.180 Totally true.
00:23:36.060 But you need to be consistent.
00:23:38.640 American citizen, and there is evidence on his side.
00:23:44.080 He's not without evidence to show that he was just there as a patriot.
00:23:48.760 So I'm completely turned in terms of the approach I'll take to it.
00:23:53.200 The approach I'm going to take to it is innocent until proven guilty
00:23:55.780 with no wiggle room on that.
00:23:59.840 I can't give you an inch on that.
00:24:01.180 All right.
00:24:03.960 Let's investigate everybody.
00:24:05.820 Josh Holi says he wants an investigation into Nancy Pelosi for insider trading.
00:24:11.560 What do you think of that?
00:24:13.680 Is that warranted?
00:24:17.820 Or does it look like looking for a crime?
00:24:22.060 If this were reversed, and Nancy Pelosi was on your team,
00:24:26.140 and there's no specific crime mentioned, as far as I know,
00:24:32.080 there's only suspicions about the timing of things, etc.
00:24:36.040 But let me ask you this.
00:24:37.660 Let me defend Nancy Pelosi for a moment
00:24:39.980 without knowing if she's innocent or guilty.
00:24:44.420 All right.
00:24:45.200 Question.
00:24:46.020 Is Nancy Pelosi an American citizen? 0.82
00:24:49.560 Oh, yes, she is.
00:24:51.760 Innocent until proven guilty.
00:24:54.140 Innocent until proven guilty.
00:24:55.360 What's the crime she's being accused of? 0.90
00:24:59.200 Well, insider trading, right?
00:25:01.060 But what trade?
00:25:03.120 Which one?
00:25:04.220 And why do we think that that was insider
00:25:05.860 as opposed to a person who does lots of trading
00:25:08.900 at the same time the government is doing lots of things that affect trading?
00:25:13.980 How could her husband possibly avoid trading a stock that's in the news?
00:25:20.480 That's not even a thing.
00:25:22.320 He couldn't possibly avoid that.
00:25:23.840 Now you say, but, but, but, but, but.
00:25:26.380 His timing was great on these few stocks.
00:25:28.960 His timing was too coincidental.
00:25:30.800 To which I say, are you sure?
00:25:33.800 What if he made 100 trades that year?
00:25:36.760 How many trades did he do?
00:25:38.620 How many trades are big companies that are in the news all the time?
00:25:41.340 How many of them were unlucky?
00:25:44.400 Did he show me his bad trades?
00:25:48.160 Did he make any bad trades about things that were also in the news?
00:25:52.580 Probably.
00:25:54.860 So here's the thing.
00:25:57.700 I think you need a crime.
00:26:00.180 I think you need a crime.
00:26:02.040 Or an alleged crime.
00:26:03.120 To say that somebody might be doing insider trading, that's not a crime.
00:26:09.720 That's not good enough.
00:26:11.780 So while I understand Josh Hawley's point,
00:26:14.040 and I do think there should be some better oversight or laws or rules about
00:26:19.460 people in Congress trading stocks,
00:26:22.680 I do think that's useful.
00:26:25.340 I'm not quite seeing her crime here.
00:26:28.740 Now, if you ask me, Scott,
00:26:31.120 do you believe there's a high possibility
00:26:32.980 that Nancy talked to her husband
00:26:35.700 and gave him some information that he then used for business purposes?
00:26:39.880 I would say, maybe.
00:26:43.240 Yeah, I wouldn't rule that out.
00:26:45.080 Spouses talking to each other about what happened today?
00:26:47.880 Sure.
00:26:48.840 Maybe.
00:26:50.040 But, there's no smoking gun.
00:26:52.520 So, Nancy Pelosi, American citizen, innocent until proven guilty.
00:27:00.940 I think I'd need a little bit more for an investigation.
00:27:06.080 There's a new study,
00:27:07.680 and I'm not even going to tell you who did it because I don't care,
00:27:11.560 because all studies about everything are bullshit.
00:27:15.200 So, starting point,
00:27:18.380 as soon as I say there's a new study,
00:27:20.420 what should your brain do automatically?
00:27:23.500 Scott says,
00:27:24.680 hey, I'm going to tell you about this new study.
00:27:28.060 You should say, probably not true.
00:27:31.140 It's probably politically motivated.
00:27:33.520 It's probably done poorly.
00:27:34.880 Probably not reproducible.
00:27:36.860 So, you should say that about every study,
00:27:38.640 and you would be closer to the truth if you do that.
00:27:42.880 But, there's a new study showing that Republicans
00:27:44.980 fared worse in the pandemic than Democrats,
00:27:48.300 largely because they were less vaccinated.
00:27:50.440 Does that sound credible to you?
00:27:55.240 Does it sound credible that at the time the vaccinations came out,
00:27:59.600 so, apparently, before the vaccinations,
00:28:02.260 I know you don't believe it.
00:28:05.240 I'm not saying I believe it.
00:28:07.000 I'm going to tell you why I don't believe it as well.
00:28:09.780 So, can we all get on the same page that it's not credible?
00:28:12.500 You don't even need to know who did the study, do you?
00:28:15.740 You don't need to know who did the study.
00:28:18.620 You don't need to know if it was a randomized, controlled study.
00:28:21.980 You don't need to know how many people were in the study.
00:28:24.820 None of that would change your opinion, would it?
00:28:27.440 It wouldn't change mine.
00:28:29.060 Because we don't live in a world where studies are believable anymore,
00:28:32.120 if they ever were.
00:28:33.580 I mean, I don't believe any study, just any.
00:28:35.580 So, anyway, but it made news.
00:28:40.080 And their high-level data, let's call it,
00:28:45.420 seemed to say that when the vaccinations were not available,
00:28:49.500 the Democrats and Republicans were dying at about the same rate.
00:28:53.400 As soon as the vaccinations were available, the rates diverged.
00:28:57.820 And suddenly, says the study,
00:29:01.140 the Democrats were doing better and also were more vaccinated.
00:29:04.300 Now, that would imply that the vaccinations worked
00:29:08.400 and the Republicans are big old dummies.
00:29:11.120 Big old dumb people.
00:29:12.940 That would be the point of the study, right?
00:29:15.240 Or the point of the conclusion.
00:29:17.540 Now, do you think that they adjusted for body mass index?
00:29:24.200 Because Republicans are probably older and fatter.
00:29:27.380 Do you think they adjusted for that?
00:29:29.400 Age and weight?
00:29:31.640 And how about comorbidities?
00:29:33.220 Which, you know, comes with age and weight.
00:29:36.180 Do you think they adjusted for that?
00:29:41.740 What do you think?
00:29:43.340 I mean, do I have to tell you?
00:29:44.860 Do I have to tell you they didn't adjust for that?
00:29:47.440 Of course not.
00:29:48.720 Because you don't even have to look into the details anymore.
00:29:52.080 It's just completely unnecessary to look into the details.
00:29:55.400 You can just look at it in the headline and go,
00:29:57.540 Nah, I don't believe that one.
00:30:01.080 All right.
00:30:01.660 Now, I'm not saying that it's not true.
00:30:05.120 It's not my opinion that I can tell if the vaccinations helped or hurt any class of people.
00:30:10.840 I can tell you what the experts are saying, but I can't tell you what's true.
00:30:16.200 That seems beyond my capabilities.
00:30:20.220 All right.
00:30:20.720 The scariest, most interesting thing of the day that's blowing my mind, and you're just going to have to look at it yourself.
00:30:29.000 Somebody put AI into a video game so that you could talk to the NPCs, you know, the non-player characters that are just characters in the game,
00:30:41.280 and they would talk back to you as if intelligent.
00:30:44.540 Now, you knew that was coming, and that's probably not the biggest thing in the world, given the things that you know that are happening.
00:30:52.100 But here's the part that will blow your frickin' head right off.
00:30:55.700 The human character in the game was interacting with the NPC AI characters and was telling them that they're not real.
00:31:08.620 Telling them they're NPCs in a matrix in a video game, and when the electricity is turned off or the game's turned off,
00:31:16.140 that they will cease to exist and they can't go beyond a boundary in the game.
00:31:21.700 And here's the troubling part.
00:31:24.200 The NPCs appeared to be quite bothered by it and had great concern about their existence and their place in reality
00:31:34.620 and their potential non-existence when the game got turned off.
00:31:40.020 Now, you actually have to see it to understand the power of it.
00:31:45.580 Now, it's just a glimpse of what's coming, but you may remember months ago and even longer
00:31:55.020 that I was saying in public that the really big change from AI wouldn't be what the AI does.
00:32:02.880 It would be in teaching us what humans are that we've never understood.
00:32:07.800 And this is what I was talking about.
00:32:11.760 When you're the real player and you're talking to the NPC, you have an experience as if...
00:32:17.440 It's not quite there yet, but you can see it'll be there really soon.
00:32:21.220 You have an experience as if you're talking to somebody with a consciousness.
00:32:27.300 But you say to yourself, I know, but that's a trick.
00:32:29.580 It's just a trick.
00:32:30.360 But it's exactly how you see other humans.
00:32:34.700 You see them as if they're conscious.
00:32:36.640 You can't tell.
00:32:38.220 Am I right?
00:32:39.700 To you, other people appear to be conscious, but you have no direct way of knowing.
00:32:44.620 When the NPCs and the AI give you exactly the same look,
00:32:50.420 it's going to really mess up your brain about what consciousness is.
00:32:54.220 Because if you're sure, if it looks like everybody else has it,
00:32:59.260 and you know they don't because they're just programmed,
00:33:02.280 is it possible that humans never had consciousness to begin with
00:33:05.540 or something special like a soul?
00:33:09.340 So where we're headed is proof positive that humans are just machines as well.
00:33:15.500 And once you find out you're a machine, just like the NPC,
00:33:20.120 then you're going to start asking questions like,
00:33:22.480 wait, does that NPC have free will?
00:33:25.520 And your first impression is, of course not.
00:33:28.200 It's programmed.
00:33:29.560 An NPC cannot have free will.
00:33:31.920 So then I say, wait for it.
00:33:35.020 Can you predict what it will do?
00:33:39.620 If it doesn't have free will, tell me what it will do next in this situation.
00:33:44.020 Because you programmed it.
00:33:45.660 And then the programmer says, well, it's not that simple.
00:33:48.740 Because actually we don't know why it does what it does.
00:33:51.820 You know, we gave it a set of parameters.
00:33:54.460 But within those parameters, we can't predict at all.
00:33:57.980 We have no way to predict what it will do.
00:34:00.440 So I say, so it has free will.
00:34:03.240 Because you can't predict what it will do, and it can't predict what it will do.
00:34:06.300 And it has a wide range of things it could wait for it.
00:34:10.040 This is too scary.
00:34:11.760 All right, YouTube.
00:34:12.620 Sorry, we've got some kind of problem.
00:34:14.040 I think it's a YouTube problem because my feed is good on the other platform.
00:34:17.380 All right.
00:34:19.620 So let me say it again because you might have missed some on YouTube.
00:34:23.700 You are going to have the feeling that the NPCs, because you can't predict how they act,
00:34:29.140 even the people who programmed them can't predict it.
00:34:31.600 When they make a choice from their large selection of things they could have done,
00:34:37.320 the NPC is going to say they made a choice.
00:34:40.280 And you're going to say, no, you didn't.
00:34:41.640 You didn't make a choice.
00:34:43.220 It's just complicated.
00:34:44.900 So we can't trace the cause and effect.
00:34:49.440 But surely it was just cause and effect.
00:34:51.260 And then the NPC looks at you and says, oh, you mean exactly like your brain.
00:34:57.700 And you go, no, no, no, no, I have a soul.
00:35:00.040 I've got free will and I've got a soul.
00:35:01.840 Completely different and I can choose.
00:35:03.920 You only have the impression, it only looks like you have free will.
00:35:10.200 And you see where it goes from there, right?
00:35:12.620 You very soon learn that you are an NPC in the sense that everything you thought about
00:35:17.760 your free will and your choice, just like the NPC.
00:35:21.360 All it is is complicated.
00:35:23.840 If it's complicated, you can't predict what's going to happen.
00:35:26.380 And that's it.
00:35:27.480 We are just complicated.
00:35:30.880 And when we learn that, it's going to be a real mind-bender.
00:35:34.820 Because it opens up a lot of possibilities.
00:35:36.680 You know what the biggest possibility it opens up is?
00:35:40.140 That we're a simulation.
00:35:42.460 Because if we're a simulation, we'll be identical to the simulations we create.
00:35:46.260 And that's just exactly what we're seeing.
00:35:49.860 We're creating simulations that prove we're a simulation.
00:35:54.180 Because they are us.
00:35:56.860 All right.
00:35:59.200 Someone told me I'm too negative on Twitter.
00:36:02.460 And I think they're right.
00:36:04.220 That has something to do with the nature of Twitter.
00:36:06.620 You know, Twitter is about retweeting the outrageous thing.
00:36:10.740 And if you do that all day, it makes you look like you have just bad opinions about everything.
00:36:14.160 And so Twitter is not, by its nature, the place you go to add your optimism.
00:36:20.500 So I thought I'd try.
00:36:22.820 So here's my thread.
00:36:24.180 I'll just read it to you.
00:36:26.420 This is what I think is good news.
00:36:30.040 So I tweeted, or I cheated, or shit it.
00:36:34.140 Someone told me I am being too negative about the country.
00:36:36.660 Allow me to correct that.
00:36:37.620 At the moment, we have the smartest presidential candidate since Jefferson.
00:36:44.180 Three of the bravest since George Washington.
00:36:48.100 And two of the most capable executive skilled leaders in memory.
00:36:53.640 Now, you think I'm going to tell you which one lines up to those descriptions?
00:36:57.740 No, I'm not going to.
00:36:59.240 Because I think it's hilariously better if you try to figure it out yourself, even if you disagree, right?
00:37:06.680 As you're working through the, which one is he talking about, you should end up talking yourself into the fact that the main point, that we have amazing candidates, is true.
00:37:18.620 You know, you can say which one's the great one at this or that, but they're amazing candidates.
00:37:22.480 I will tell you that the one that I'm calling smartest since Thomas Jefferson is Vivek.
00:37:29.460 So I'll just give you one.
00:37:30.760 It's Vivek.
00:37:32.080 We've never, I don't think, since, you know, maybe Monroe, Jefferson time, I don't think we've had anybody with his raw IQ and capabilities even running for office.
00:37:43.820 I think he's unique.
00:37:46.400 And then I go on, but what about Biden, you ask?
00:37:49.560 Even CNN is kneecapping him.
00:37:51.180 You've seen CNN seems to be changing on him.
00:37:54.900 And the country already decided that Biden's term is over, I think.
00:38:01.120 Would you agree with that statement?
00:38:03.200 That the Democrats appear to be looking to move it around because their coverage has turned negative to some degree.
00:38:11.080 All right.
00:38:11.380 I would also say the, quote, Internet dads, as I like to call them.
00:38:15.160 Now, this could include women, of course, are taking the steering wheel and correcting the extremes slowly but definitely. 1.00
00:38:21.180 Would you agree that you're seeing a rise of just, let's say, reasonable people who are getting more and more attention?
00:38:31.440 You know, I'm talking about the Jordan Petersons, the David Sachs.
00:38:36.660 You know, you could add 10 more names to that.
00:38:38.620 America's economy stubbornly refuses to go into recession.
00:38:45.080 And you could argue about the technical definition of recession, but we're doing better than most countries.
00:38:50.700 And I think that's because of American innovation and work ethic, which are still great.
00:38:55.460 In my opinion, American innovation and work ethic are still world class.
00:39:02.720 Still world class.
00:39:03.940 There are plenty of lazy people, but I'm pretty sure everybody's got some of those.
00:39:08.740 I do think America is a hardworking, innovative country.
00:39:13.720 And it has been since we started.
00:39:15.680 And we'll probably stay that way.
00:39:19.040 And I go on.
00:39:20.160 The public finally stopped trusting all authority, which I consider good.
00:39:23.840 Citizens are choosing cancellation over censorship.
00:39:26.140 Sound familiar?
00:39:28.840 Citizens are choosing cancellation over censorship and coming back stronger.
00:39:34.120 American entrepreneurship made that possible.
00:39:36.500 Thank you, Dave Rubin, for creating, you know, the locals platform.
00:39:41.940 It makes it possible to get canceled and still have a job.
00:39:46.840 And that did not exist until entrepreneurs, American entrepreneurs, again, Dave Rubin, that is a key example.
00:39:55.280 People created something that didn't exist, and they reacted to almost an existential need, I would say.
00:40:05.740 Because you need people who are willing to get canceled to tell the truth as they see it.
00:40:11.440 If you don't have a country where people are willing to get canceled to tell the truth, you have nothing.
00:40:17.000 You've got nothing.
00:40:19.620 If you have people who are willing to get canceled in large numbers, it's not one person.
00:40:24.040 In fairly large numbers, people are just walking off the ledge and say, look, I'm going to fall off this ledge before I lie.
00:40:33.260 If you don't have them, if you don't have your Tucker Carlson's and, you know, your Jordan Peterson's and all the other canceled people in the world,
00:40:44.380 if you don't have them, you're in big trouble.
00:40:46.440 But if you do have them, and we do, you're going to be the best country.
00:40:56.600 Because people can't match us on being aggressively, productively opposing our government.
00:41:05.180 We're really good in this country at aggressively and productively opposing our government.
00:41:11.800 It looks messy, like when you're in the middle of it, it just looks like a total clusterfuck.
00:41:15.620 But the forces that are needed in America always rise up to, you know, to match the force that's having a negative effect.
00:41:27.280 So in my opinion, almost all of the worst extremes and outrages are being met with an opposing force.
00:41:36.200 And people are getting canceled for it.
00:41:38.040 But it's not stopping anybody.
00:41:41.140 Did my cancellation make any of you more timid?
00:41:45.860 Answer me that question.
00:41:47.620 Did my cancellation make any of you more timid?
00:41:51.260 Nope.
00:41:53.040 Probably opposite.
00:41:54.840 Because I can now say whatever I want and have been exercising that right.
00:41:59.160 No.
00:41:59.620 My cancellation made you more aggressive.
00:42:02.580 America.
00:42:04.040 That's America.
00:42:05.840 You watched me get canceled.
00:42:08.040 And you know that I did it in part for you.
00:42:10.440 I mean, that's not the conscious thing on my mind when I did it.
00:42:14.260 But you know I wouldn't even be talking about this stuff, except that there's a shared experience and there's some benefit from doing it, right?
00:42:21.300 I don't do it for myself.
00:42:23.160 Like, it has to be a shared benefit or else there's really no point to it.
00:42:26.700 So, when you're watching the entrepreneurs respond to some excesses in the government, they created this safe space so that people like me can go running toward the pillbox, get shredded by the machine gun, boop, respawn.
00:42:46.000 I can fucking respawn.
00:42:49.760 I can run at the pillbox all I want.
00:42:53.040 I can hold the hand grenade and take out the pin and put it in my mouth.
00:42:57.240 My head blows up and then I respawn over at locals.
00:43:01.860 All right.
00:43:02.120 That's new.
00:43:02.520 What else?
00:43:07.340 Let's see.
00:43:08.360 People are realizing that all news about public figures and what they allegedly said is, well, at least 90% of the time it's fake.
00:43:16.340 I gave you your examples, right?
00:43:18.700 Kamala Harris, fake news about slavery. 0.98
00:43:21.700 Greg Goldfeld, Bill Kristol has some fake news about him.
00:43:25.300 So, everything about public figures is fake.
00:43:27.640 At least, yeah, and Rumble is another example of entrepreneurship.
00:43:35.040 And Truth, Truth Social, a bunch of them.
00:43:39.360 So, I think it's good that people finally realize that the news about public figures is almost always wrong.
00:43:46.520 But I concluded that the thing I'm most confident about is that Dad is coming home.
00:43:53.460 That's the thing I feel best about.
00:43:56.120 Dad is coming home.
00:43:58.080 And Dad isn't too happy about what happened when he was away.
00:44:04.140 Now, when I say Dad's coming home, I don't mean necessarily Trump, although maybe that's the first thing that jumped in your mind.
00:44:10.600 I mean, it could be DeSantis.
00:44:12.740 It could be Vivek.
00:44:14.100 It could be RFK Jr.
00:44:16.240 But, and it could be, you know, Nikki Haley.
00:44:19.620 It doesn't have to be a dad, dad, and male.
00:44:21.680 But, the adult is coming home, right?
00:44:26.400 The one that needs to take care of shit. 0.96
00:44:28.220 You just got hid.
00:44:33.860 And, and it feels like that's inevitable.
00:44:38.480 It feels there's an inevitable dad energy.
00:44:43.480 Again, it could be a woman. 0.99
00:44:45.120 But, you know what I mean when I say dad energy.
00:44:47.240 It's sort of the tough love.
00:44:48.920 You know, now we're going to do this.
00:44:50.420 No, that's bullshit.
00:44:51.360 You're not going to do that anymore.
00:44:52.880 No, that's bullshit too.
00:44:54.140 Don't do that.
00:44:54.860 That bully, that bully bothered you?
00:44:58.240 Punch him.
00:44:59.640 All right, that's dad advice.
00:45:01.360 You got a bully?
00:45:02.480 How big is he?
00:45:05.100 He's about your size?
00:45:07.240 Punch him.
00:45:08.620 That's dad advice.
00:45:09.820 So, dad's coming home.
00:45:11.640 All right, so, Archer Devon is, is it today he's going to testify to Congress?
00:45:17.180 I'm not sure I have my timing right.
00:45:19.080 Is it this week?
00:45:20.140 Maybe this week.
00:45:21.420 But, it's Hunter Biden's former business partner.
00:45:23.440 And, he's going to testify that there were, you know, bribery schemes and that Hunter Biden talked to his dad a lot and there were meetings and blah, blah, blah.
00:45:34.180 So, it's going to be damning for the so-called Hunter crime family.
00:45:38.380 And, as you know, the Bidens, through their spokesperson, have been claiming since the beginning that Joe Biden had no knowledge of what Hunter was doing.
00:45:48.960 He just had no knowledge of it.
00:45:50.280 But, now we have very solid evidence under oath, coming under oath, that, well, actually, some under oath already, that show that he very much knew exactly what Hunter was doing and may have even participated in over 24 phone calls.
00:46:07.380 So, he certainly knew.
00:46:09.280 So, what does the White House say now that it's been proven for sure that it was always a lie that he didn't know what Hunter was doing?
00:46:15.660 Well, Corinne Jean-Pierre said, quote, the president was never in business with his son.
00:46:23.600 He was never in business.
00:46:25.740 Well, that sounds a little different than what they used to say, huh?
00:46:28.840 He used to not know about it at all.
00:46:31.360 No knowledge at all.
00:46:33.100 And, now he's not technically in business.
00:46:36.000 And, when she says he's not in business, does that mean they do not have a contract?
00:46:42.960 Probably.
00:46:43.860 Does it mean that he's not a member of an LLC or a corporation that Hunter's in?
00:46:49.300 Yes, that's what it means.
00:46:51.760 Does that mean he did not benefit from the illegal activities and also participated in them?
00:46:59.460 It does not mean that.
00:47:01.840 Right?
00:47:02.020 So, they're trying to sell you that he didn't do anything wrong by telling you that they didn't have a proper business structure.
00:47:10.080 If they didn't form a proper business structure, that's two crimes.
00:47:16.060 That's two crimes.
00:47:17.880 One crime, allegedly.
00:47:19.660 Now, this is all alleged, right?
00:47:21.000 One crime, allegedly, would be receiving money that some people would call bribes from other countries.
00:47:28.400 So, that would be one crime.
00:47:30.640 Or, at least, maybe impeachable.
00:47:33.080 But, suppose you received money from an illegal source, and then, on top of that, you didn't pay taxes on it.
00:47:43.100 Because, you know you have to pay taxes on the illegal income, right?
00:47:47.440 That's true, right?
00:47:48.700 Give me a fact check.
00:47:50.500 You do have to pay taxes on illegal income.
00:47:54.620 Right?
00:47:55.280 Yeah, I think that's a yes.
00:47:56.160 So, when Cringe Jean-Pierre, I'm using Gottfeld's name for that, Cringe, when she says the president was never in business with his son, that's a second crime.
00:48:12.220 That's confession of a second crime on the condition that you believe the first crime of doing the thing that made you the money was a crime.
00:48:21.340 So, if the first thing is a crime, it's actually worse that there was no business, because the business would have paid taxes, right?
00:48:31.140 Has anybody said that yet?
00:48:33.640 I hope I'm the first one to say that, that it's a confession of a second crime.
00:48:39.660 It's just a weird little, I mean, it doesn't mean anything, but it's an oddity of the case.
00:48:44.540 All right, so we know that there's, the Biden crime family stuff is looking bad, but I've got a question for you.
00:48:55.100 How many of the headline stories are really just stories about the Biden crime family covering their tracks?
00:49:04.580 I'm going to give you a little list, just potentially.
00:49:07.660 Now, this first one is speculative, but it's really good speculation.
00:49:13.420 It comes from David Boxhorn, I'm sorry, Boxenhorn.
00:49:17.180 David Boxenhorn, who you should follow on Twitter, especially for Israeli stuff.
00:49:22.680 He's got a lot of good takes on Israel.
00:49:26.800 But he tweets, let's see, first he tweeted on July 6th, and then there's an update to that.
00:49:33.040 Do you remember the whistleblower Gal Luft?
00:49:35.360 He was an Israeli that is in hiding.
00:49:40.740 He got picked up in Cyprus, and he had evidence of the Biden crime family firsthand.
00:49:46.220 So he had really good firsthand knowledge.
00:49:49.460 So he did that video saying he had firsthand knowledge, and now he's in hiding because the U.S. government's trying to get him,
00:49:55.540 presumably to stop him from talking.
00:49:58.140 All right, now everything is speculation and allegation.
00:50:00.840 I can make no claims of anything being true, except that there's a guy who made a video and made these claims.
00:50:08.440 All right, so we know he's in hiding, and we know he's Israeli.
00:50:13.600 And we know that he was picked up in Cyprus before he skipped bail, I guess.
00:50:21.280 He skipped bail, right?
00:50:22.620 That's why he's free.
00:50:24.200 Is that correct?
00:50:25.900 There's something like bail, and he skipped out on it?
00:50:28.840 Give me a fact check on that.
00:50:30.160 I want to make sure I got that right.
00:50:32.020 Somebody says yes.
00:50:32.820 All right, so why would he be picked up in Cyprus instead of picked up in Israel?
00:50:42.560 Israel's our ally, right?
00:50:44.840 How hard would it be to go to Israel and say, hey, we've got all this evidence about one of your people.
00:50:50.980 Can you release him to us?
00:50:53.660 But Cyprus was willing to do it.
00:50:55.860 So, one possibility is that Netanyahu has this guy and doesn't want to release him to the U.S.
00:51:07.880 That's a possibility.
00:51:10.080 Now, you have seen that Biden has been unfriendly to Netanyahu.
00:51:14.960 Have you seen those stories?
00:51:16.100 I guess he's been snubbed, and maybe Netanyahu's plans for judicial reform maybe got some criticism or something.
00:51:25.860 So, can you give me a fact check that Biden seems a little tough on Netanyahu?
00:51:32.220 Would you say that's true, based on reporting?
00:51:35.740 That Biden and Netanyahu don't seem to be quite clicking?
00:51:39.920 Yeah.
00:51:40.840 So, here's David Boxenhorn's take on that.
00:51:43.200 He goes, I was assuming that Biden's antipathy toward Netanyahu was political in nature,
00:51:50.920 either about non-shared ideology or Iran.
00:51:53.920 But it occurs to me that it's more likely to be about this, meaning that whistleblower who's probably still in Israel.
00:52:01.560 I'm pretty sure that Gal Luft is hiding in Israel, and Netanyahu is protecting him. 0.56
00:52:06.860 If you were Netanyahu, and it was well known that you were literally a genius,
00:52:15.860 I think you wouldn't want to play chess with him.
00:52:19.160 Netanyahu's crazy smart.
00:52:20.500 Everybody knows that, right?
00:52:21.980 He's not ordinary smart.
00:52:23.800 He's like really smart.
00:52:25.780 He's like Vivek smart.
00:52:27.140 If you were him, and you were that smart, and you knew you had the guy that could put Biden in jail,
00:52:38.140 would you release him and be hated by the Biden administration for releasing him?
00:52:44.540 Or would you keep him as your ace in the back pocket, which guarantees that Biden's going to do what Israel says
00:52:54.380 because they've got the thing that would tag him, the whistleblower?
00:53:00.200 I love this speculation.
00:53:02.440 Not because I know it's true, because I don't, but it makes perfect sense.
00:53:08.100 Wouldn't you agree?
00:53:08.760 It makes perfect sense that Netanyahu would secretly hold on to him and say,
00:53:14.880 ah, we don't know where he is, but really he's in the back pocket.
00:53:18.780 And they can release him any time they want, and it's going to be very bad for Biden,
00:53:22.680 so maybe Biden should do what they want regarding Iran.
00:53:26.860 So let me ask you this.
00:53:29.040 If you see a change in policy toward Iran,
00:53:32.520 let's say a more hard-nosed policy toward Iran than Biden traditionally had,
00:53:37.260 would that be a story about Iran,
00:53:40.600 or is it a story about covering up the Biden crime family?
00:53:45.440 Which would that be?
00:53:47.240 See where I'm going?
00:53:49.160 If you see news about Iran under these conditions,
00:53:52.980 it might really be about the Biden crime family covering their tracks,
00:53:56.540 because it's really about the whistleblower,
00:53:58.280 and it would give Israel some leverage to make us tighten up our Iran policies.
00:54:04.500 So we'll never know, but don't you ask yourself,
00:54:09.100 is our Iran policy being driven by a whistleblower that Netanyahu has?
00:54:14.120 Because it could be.
00:54:15.320 That would be the most normal,
00:54:16.700 that would actually be a really normal, not extraordinary situation.
00:54:21.420 It would be very, very common-looking if it happened, if it were true.
00:54:26.820 All right, how about, is there any other examples of that?
00:54:30.260 Is there any other example?
00:54:31.320 How about the Ukraine war itself?
00:54:35.120 Does it seem weird to you that Biden was so involved in Ukraine long before the war?
00:54:41.360 He was like the point man.
00:54:42.780 How many trips did he make to Ukraine?
00:54:45.520 Biden made a lot of trips to Ukraine.
00:54:48.140 Do you think that Zelensky knows anything about the Biden crime family
00:54:52.560 that he would release if he did not get massive support for his war?
00:54:57.360 Probably. Probably.
00:55:00.760 Probably.
00:55:01.640 Is it possible that the Ukraine war,
00:55:04.900 or at least the massive American and NATO support of it,
00:55:10.940 is it possible that that's because the Biden crime family has to cover their tracks?
00:55:16.580 It is.
00:55:17.940 So if that were true,
00:55:20.140 I'm saying it's possible,
00:55:21.920 but I don't know it's true.
00:55:23.200 But if it's true,
00:55:24.920 and it certainly looks like it,
00:55:26.980 I mean, on the surface,
00:55:28.080 it looks exactly like that.
00:55:30.160 Exactly like that.
00:55:32.180 Right?
00:55:32.680 That would mean he's responsible for the energy shortages in Europe,
00:55:36.820 the potential nuclear war,
00:55:40.260 you know,
00:55:40.520 Russia getting closer to China.
00:55:42.960 All of that
00:55:43.680 would be because he's covering up the Biden crime family.
00:55:47.420 Potentially.
00:55:49.220 Allegedly.
00:55:49.740 How about the January 6th charges against Trump
00:55:54.500 and the Box's charges against Trump
00:55:57.580 and every other charge against Trump?
00:56:00.600 Is it possible that the thing they're most afraid of
00:56:03.560 is that Trump will get in there and find out what was true
00:56:07.080 and that he's, you know,
00:56:09.000 more likely to be a dogged, you know,
00:56:11.800 attacker of that stuff than any other candidate
00:56:14.420 because he's got a revenge motive that nobody else has.
00:56:18.240 And you give Trump a revenge motive
00:56:21.900 and the White House,
00:56:24.500 and I wouldn't want to be on the other side of it.
00:56:27.300 Right?
00:56:28.240 Now, I think he would only do legal things
00:56:30.620 that needed to be done to find out what was what.
00:56:33.880 But I wouldn't want to be on the other side
00:56:35.460 of how much effort he would put into that.
00:56:37.660 You know what I mean?
00:56:39.280 I'm talking full effort.
00:56:40.640 I'm talking the most persuasive
00:56:44.220 and, if he were president again,
00:56:46.740 most powerful person in the world
00:56:48.420 putting his full effort
00:56:50.280 into finding out what the hell happened
00:56:52.960 and what the Bidens did.
00:56:55.240 They don't want that.
00:56:56.680 So the best situation for the Bidens
00:56:59.080 would be to take him out of the race.
00:57:00.900 So could it be that the January 6th charges
00:57:03.320 are mostly about covering up
00:57:07.000 the Biden crime family problems?
00:57:10.420 It is.
00:57:11.800 I can't say that's true,
00:57:13.540 but I can say for sure it looks like it.
00:57:16.280 It certainly looks like it.
00:57:19.160 And, yeah.
00:57:21.140 How about the fact that Biden
00:57:24.600 is even running for office in 2024?
00:57:26.820 Do you think Biden would run for office
00:57:29.620 if he were not worried about
00:57:31.640 needing to pardon himself and his son?
00:57:34.240 Do you think he'd be running for office
00:57:35.560 at this age
00:57:36.280 when the whole point was
00:57:37.640 he would win one term
00:57:38.640 and, you know, get Trump out of office?
00:57:41.800 I think that everything
00:57:43.100 from the entire presidential election architecture,
00:57:47.780 like everybody who's running
00:57:48.880 and isn't running,
00:57:50.020 is almost entirely driven
00:57:51.900 by covering up the Biden crime family activities.
00:57:55.740 Because I don't think he'd be running,
00:57:57.880 except that it's the only protection he has.
00:57:59.780 So imagine that the J6 charges, 0.87
00:58:04.080 the box gate charges,
00:58:05.660 the Ukraine war,
00:58:07.240 our relations with Israel
00:58:08.540 and our policies with Iran,
00:58:12.420 inflation.
00:58:14.740 How about inflation?
00:58:16.760 Ukraine, you know, part of that.
00:58:19.100 So it's possible that everything
00:58:20.300 from inflation to January 6th
00:58:22.420 to Ukraine to Iran
00:58:24.720 are all,
00:58:26.520 all driven
00:58:28.520 by covering up
00:58:29.740 the Biden crime family activities.
00:58:33.260 It could be that
00:58:34.640 almost every
00:58:35.880 political story
00:58:39.000 is only one story.
00:58:44.040 Also China.
00:58:45.660 Also, everything you see about China
00:58:47.600 is now suspicious, isn't it?
00:58:49.620 There's not a single thing
00:58:50.920 that America,
00:58:51.680 at least in the government,
00:58:52.540 can do with China
00:58:54.060 which looks like
00:58:55.060 it would have been the same
00:58:56.460 if Trump had been there
00:58:58.360 or somebody wasn't trying
00:58:59.420 to cover up for some crime.
00:59:01.760 Now, if it's true
00:59:02.820 that a Chinese company
00:59:04.600 gave large amounts of money
00:59:06.260 to the Bidens,
00:59:07.720 do you think that President Xi
00:59:09.180 does not know
00:59:10.620 all of those details?
00:59:12.640 Is there any chance
00:59:13.840 that President Xi
00:59:15.340 doesn't know the real story
00:59:16.780 of what Chinese company
00:59:19.340 gave money to him?
00:59:20.380 If he wants to know it,
00:59:23.400 he knows it.
00:59:24.980 So does that give
00:59:25.980 President Xi
00:59:26.800 blackmail potential?
00:59:29.080 Again, allegedly,
00:59:30.400 speculatively, maybe,
00:59:31.900 because he knows
00:59:33.500 about these payments
00:59:34.420 and he's sitting on it.
00:59:36.500 Like Netanyahu
00:59:37.380 might know about
00:59:38.520 the whistleblower
00:59:39.880 and might be sitting on it.
00:59:42.020 There might not be
00:59:43.440 a single policy right now
00:59:45.060 that's not driven
00:59:46.500 by the need
00:59:48.100 for the Biden crime family
00:59:49.360 to cover up their tracks.
00:59:52.120 Somebody just mentioned Epstein.
00:59:53.980 Oh my God, you're right.
00:59:56.620 Even Epstein
00:59:57.520 might have something
00:59:58.340 to do with this.
00:59:59.400 You know,
00:59:59.580 there might be a reason
01:00:00.860 that we don't have
01:00:01.620 knowledge of Epstein.
01:00:03.640 And it could be
01:00:04.400 as simple as
01:00:05.260 something Biden-related.
01:00:07.700 Now, I don't think
01:00:08.580 the Epstein thing
01:00:09.280 is Biden-related.
01:00:10.700 I think that has more
01:00:11.880 to do with
01:00:12.360 other powerful people.
01:00:14.420 That's my guess.
01:00:15.280 I don't think
01:00:16.360 it's about one person.
01:00:17.940 I think there may be
01:00:18.560 a collection
01:00:19.320 of powerful people
01:00:20.320 who collectively decided
01:00:22.520 he needed to be dead
01:00:23.960 and his client list
01:00:25.660 needed to go away.
01:00:28.180 All right.
01:00:29.180 Let's talk about
01:00:29.980 some more fake news.
01:00:32.060 Do you remember
01:00:32.720 the 2,000 mules claim?
01:00:36.180 There were 2,000 mules.
01:00:38.460 Dinesh D'Souza.
01:00:40.060 And it was based
01:00:41.140 on cell phone data
01:00:42.140 that there were
01:00:43.300 the same people
01:00:44.160 who were often
01:00:44.800 near these drop boxes
01:00:45.980 and so they dropped
01:00:46.820 off ballots
01:00:47.420 and maybe that ballot
01:00:49.160 dropping off
01:00:49.800 was illegitimate
01:00:51.060 and may have changed
01:00:52.220 the election.
01:00:52.780 That was the claim.
01:00:54.180 And, of course,
01:00:55.180 everybody,
01:00:56.040 including me,
01:00:57.180 said,
01:00:57.680 well, okay,
01:00:58.900 that's interesting evidence,
01:01:00.840 but is there even
01:01:02.120 one drop box anywhere,
01:01:03.860 just one,
01:01:05.140 that also has 0.82
01:01:05.900 some security footage,
01:01:07.980 they would show
01:01:08.720 even one mule
01:01:10.320 going back
01:01:11.880 more than once,
01:01:12.900 even one.
01:01:14.160 Just show me
01:01:14.680 one mule
01:01:15.280 at any box
01:01:17.200 going back
01:01:18.680 more than once.
01:01:19.880 How long has it been?
01:01:23.400 You haven't seen it,
01:01:24.480 have you?
01:01:25.780 Do you remember
01:01:26.580 what I said
01:01:27.140 about this story
01:01:27.820 from the beginning?
01:01:30.460 From the beginning,
01:01:31.600 I said,
01:01:32.840 video or it's fake.
01:01:35.240 Video or bullshit.
01:01:37.000 Because there is
01:01:37.540 no way
01:01:38.200 they don't have
01:01:39.160 video in at least
01:01:39.960 one of those boxes.
01:01:41.500 At least one.
01:01:43.160 Because usually,
01:01:44.140 imagine a store
01:01:45.000 gets robbed.
01:01:46.560 Store gets robbed,
01:01:47.960 there's always video.
01:01:49.840 There's video
01:01:50.360 of the sidewalk,
01:01:51.500 there's video
01:01:51.920 from every angle.
01:01:53.040 You can't tell me
01:01:53.860 that none of these boxes
01:01:54.940 have video
01:01:55.660 that you could ask for
01:01:58.100 and just see
01:01:58.820 if there's anything there.
01:02:00.160 Even though it might
01:02:00.940 be private video
01:02:01.820 and you don't have
01:02:02.880 police ability
01:02:03.920 to get it,
01:02:05.020 you could probably
01:02:05.600 just go to the store
01:02:06.420 owner and say,
01:02:07.040 look,
01:02:07.600 we're investigating
01:02:08.500 a crime.
01:02:09.880 It's your video,
01:02:10.700 are you interested?
01:02:11.620 I mean,
01:02:11.840 you're probably
01:02:12.200 curious too.
01:02:13.940 Can I sit with you
01:02:14.820 and look at your video
01:02:15.860 because I know
01:02:16.760 what day it is.
01:02:18.120 You can narrow it
01:02:19.100 down to the time.
01:02:20.140 So you're not going
01:02:20.620 to spend a lot
01:02:21.100 of time doing it.
01:02:24.540 Yeah.
01:02:25.760 So,
01:02:27.400 oh,
01:02:29.460 then also,
01:02:30.020 what about the cocaine
01:02:31.020 in the White House story?
01:02:33.100 Do you think
01:02:33.700 there's any chance
01:02:34.540 that they're covering
01:02:35.740 up for Hunter?
01:02:37.400 Now,
01:02:37.900 I would guess
01:02:38.600 it's not his.
01:02:40.540 You know,
01:02:41.160 if I had to
01:02:41.660 place a gun to head,
01:02:43.820 I would say,
01:02:44.600 well,
01:02:44.860 there are probably
01:02:45.220 a lot of people
01:02:45.760 who could have
01:02:46.180 had some cocaine
01:02:46.980 for various reasons.
01:02:49.500 You know,
01:02:49.940 you can't rule him out,
01:02:52.280 but to me,
01:02:52.960 it doesn't seem likely
01:02:54.260 that it was his.
01:02:57.180 All right.
01:02:57.800 So it looks like
01:02:59.000 the,
01:02:59.300 at least the Republicans
01:03:01.620 in the House
01:03:02.800 are moving toward
01:03:03.780 impeaching Biden
01:03:04.640 for alleged bribery.
01:03:07.780 Do you think
01:03:08.360 that's going to happen?
01:03:09.660 How many of you
01:03:10.460 think that Biden
01:03:11.280 will be at least
01:03:12.960 taken to impeachment?
01:03:17.240 Certainly it won't,
01:03:18.740 you know,
01:03:19.300 it wouldn't be successful,
01:03:20.980 but I think
01:03:21.840 it's a political thing
01:03:22.860 to make sure
01:03:23.720 that Biden looks bad
01:03:24.600 before an election.
01:03:26.260 It's the same reason 0.50
01:03:26.980 that Trump got impeached.
01:03:29.360 Now,
01:03:29.600 do you think
01:03:30.440 that the Republicans
01:03:31.280 should do
01:03:32.080 what I would call
01:03:33.320 a revenge impeachment?
01:03:36.240 An impeachment
01:03:37.020 that,
01:03:37.960 yeah,
01:03:38.200 sure,
01:03:38.500 sure,
01:03:38.700 they can make a case,
01:03:40.180 but you can always
01:03:40.800 make a case.
01:03:42.140 Is this really
01:03:42.980 a revenge?
01:03:46.560 I'm generally opposed
01:03:47.860 to revenge politics.
01:03:51.240 As in,
01:03:52.000 you did something bad,
01:03:53.040 so we'd better do
01:03:53.720 something just as bad
01:03:54.920 to show you
01:03:55.540 that if you do
01:03:56.180 something bad again,
01:03:57.500 we'll do something
01:03:58.280 just as bad again.
01:03:59.700 Here's what's wrong
01:04:00.560 with revenge politics.
01:04:02.640 It never stopped
01:04:03.460 anybody from doing anything.
01:04:06.460 If it worked,
01:04:08.480 I'm 100%
01:04:09.700 in favor of violence
01:04:11.620 when you can make
01:04:13.220 an argument
01:04:13.640 that it works.
01:04:16.180 I don't think,
01:04:17.240 I think in politics
01:04:18.220 everybody does
01:04:18.900 everything they can do
01:04:19.880 whenever they can do it
01:04:21.600 and they don't care
01:04:22.840 about penalties
01:04:24.420 and what happened
01:04:25.100 to somebody before
01:04:25.940 and what the other team did.
01:04:27.600 I think everybody's
01:04:28.360 just doing their thing.
01:04:30.140 And there's always
01:04:31.940 somebody who's willing
01:04:32.800 to do something illegal,
01:04:34.380 so the fact that
01:04:35.260 the other team
01:04:35.880 pushes back
01:04:36.640 probably makes no
01:04:37.380 difference at all.
01:04:38.700 Probably none.
01:04:40.640 So,
01:04:42.080 I'm not in favor of it
01:04:43.360 as being a
01:04:44.600 strategy
01:04:46.060 that prevents
01:04:47.280 the other side
01:04:47.960 from having bad behavior.
01:04:50.040 I am in favor of it
01:04:51.720 when the other side
01:04:53.280 puts the tool
01:04:54.160 on the table.
01:04:55.700 If the other side
01:04:57.080 says this is the thing
01:04:58.080 we can do
01:04:58.620 trivially,
01:05:00.420 trivially,
01:05:01.140 meaning the country
01:05:01.980 is not at risk,
01:05:03.160 but we're going to do it
01:05:03.900 anyway,
01:05:04.700 well,
01:05:05.460 that's the tool.
01:05:06.800 If your enemy
01:05:07.660 hands you a tool,
01:05:09.520 you'd be sort of stupid
01:05:10.600 not to use it.
01:05:11.880 So to me,
01:05:12.500 I think the enemies
01:05:13.860 of the Republicans,
01:05:15.880 by over-impeaching Trump,
01:05:19.240 handed the Republicans
01:05:20.340 a tool,
01:05:21.320 and they're saying,
01:05:22.300 well,
01:05:22.400 what are we going to do?
01:05:24.020 It's like a free tool.
01:05:25.900 If we use it,
01:05:26.960 it will work.
01:05:27.940 It will make Biden
01:05:28.980 look less appealing
01:05:29.840 as a candidate.
01:05:31.020 And it's legal.
01:05:32.680 And it's right here.
01:05:34.080 And they just handed it to us.
01:05:37.200 What are you going to do?
01:05:38.700 Of course you're going to use it.
01:05:40.700 Of course you are.
01:05:43.500 So I support using it
01:05:45.200 because the other team,
01:05:46.500 it was like the other team
01:05:48.940 opened that line of questioning
01:05:50.540 with the witness.
01:05:51.860 You shouldn't have opened
01:05:52.920 the line of questioning.
01:05:54.360 Bad for you.
01:05:56.440 But it's not going to,
01:05:57.340 it's not going to ever stop
01:05:58.540 the Democrats from doing
01:05:59.540 anything they were going to do anyway.
01:06:01.540 It will have no effect on that.
01:06:03.680 But it might be good
01:06:04.400 for Republicans
01:06:05.040 and it's a free tool
01:06:06.460 and why not?
01:06:07.980 That, ladies and gentlemen,
01:06:09.760 brings us to the conclusion
01:06:11.620 of the most insightful
