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.
00:00:17.960
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.
00:00:55.080
All right, so is everybody comfortable calling Twitter X yet?
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.
00:01:24.660
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?
00:02:12.180
Did you see the story about the Obama's personal chef, I guess, drowned while paddleboarding nearby the compound of the Obama's?
00:02:42.480
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.
00:02:57.860
Because, you know, if you go to Hawaii, they're always doing it.
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.
00:03:22.980
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?
00:03:37.000
And then I saw a tweet from Dom Luker, who calls himself the breaker of narratives, who's really fun to follow.
00:03:48.940
So I'm going to read you his tweet, because he so perfectly captured what was in my head.
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.
00:04:19.480
This is funnier if you do it with an A on the end.
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?
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.
00:05:24.880
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.
00:06:03.500
If I go down in a plane, whatever it is, you should just know this is my official public permission.
00:06:19.720
So I'm not defending that I'm laughing at this joke.
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.
00:06:38.700
I hear they're interviewing somebody named Purgosian.
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.
00:07:12.960
It wasn't climate change that set the fire in Yosemite.
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,
00:07:48.460
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.
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.
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.
00:08:33.900
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.
00:08:51.980
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.
00:09:16.280
So, a normal summer story is somebody saying that somebody said something they didn't say.
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
00:10:21.840
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.
00:10:43.460
But Kamala Harris is doing this whole, you know,
00:10:51.980
Pretending something happened and it didn't and then acting outraged.
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.
00:11:36.020
Now, do I need to give you any details to know that that never happened in the real world?
00:11:46.740
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
00:12:29.540
How many of you recognize his name and understand who he is?
00:12:40.100
I would call him the Eric Swalwell of Adam Schiffs.
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.
00:13:04.560
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.
00:13:36.580
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
00:13:52.800
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?
00:14:03.640
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.
00:14:31.280
If you see Brennan come back, you can be sure that the truth is the opposite of what he's saying.
00:14:42.580
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.
00:15:06.060
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?
00:15:25.940
Chris Wray, well, I don't know what's going on with Chris Wray.
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.
00:16:02.340
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.
00:16:17.040
It's going to be on my door the day it's published.
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.
00:16:59.640
I'm always just blown away by Amazon as a company.
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.
00:17:18.200
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.
00:18:04.000
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,
00:18:20.620
I would encourage you, for your own benefit, to acknowledge if you got that wrong.
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?
00:18:51.780
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.
00:19:07.460
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.
00:19:19.860
That does show that he's willing to do disclosure, which would clearly include, is he doing anything suspicious as a Fed?
00:19:31.960
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?
00:20:01.380
So let's say that he's only being protected by giving him some fake charges that will never be completed.
00:20:12.040
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,
00:20:27.640
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.
00:20:44.480
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,
00:21:04.080
You know, why was he seemingly treated differently?
00:21:06.220
But if the current evidence is that he was not treated differently,
00:21:14.600
but the current reporting makes him look innocent.
00:21:26.880
Because it felt like he was like the explanation to everything.
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.
00:21:41.460
It's entirely possible he was just doing things.
00:21:51.400
And he wasn't, he wasn't, he never entered the building,
00:22:19.820
I would think that would be the lowest level of charge,
00:22:40.960
At the moment, it looks like things are going his way.
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.
00:23:10.820
Doesn't mean I know whether he is guilty of anything or not.
00:23:16.360
I'm saying that my tolerance for calling an American citizen guilty in public
00:23:23.440
when this is the information we know that he has been charged, inappropriate.
00:23:30.920
Now, I'm not saying there's not a cover-up and maybe there's more to know.
00:23:38.640
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
00:24:05.820
Josh Holi says he wants an investigation into Nancy Pelosi for insider trading.
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.
00:25:05.860
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?
00:25:38.620
How many trades are big companies that are in the news all the time?
00:25:48.160
Did he make any bad trades about things that were also in the news?
00:26:03.120
To say that somebody might be doing insider trading, that's not a crime.
00:26:14.040
and I do think there should be some better oversight or laws or rules about
00:26:35.700
and gave him some information that he then used for business purposes?
00:26:45.080
Spouses talking to each other about what happened today?
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.
00:27:07.680
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.
00:27:24.680
hey, I'm going to tell you about this new 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
00:27:55.240
Does it sound credible that at the time the vaccinations came out,
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?
00:28:18.620
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?
00:28:29.060
Because we don't live in a world where studies are believable anymore,
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.
00:29:01.140
the Democrats were doing better and also were more vaccinated.
00:29:04.300
Now, that would imply that the vaccinations worked
00:29:17.540
Now, do you think that they adjusted for body mass index?
00:29:24.200
Because Republicans are probably older and fatter.
00:29:44.860
Do I have to tell you they didn't adjust for that?
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,
00:30:05.120
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.
00:30:20.720
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.
00:31:24.200
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.
00:32:11.760
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.
00:32:39.700
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
00:33:09.340
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,
00:33:39.620
If it doesn't have free will, tell me what it will do next in this situation.
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.
00:33:54.460
But within those parameters, we can't predict at all.
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.
00:34:14.040
I think it's a YouTube problem because my feed is good on the other platform.
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,
00:34:51.260
And then the NPC looks at you and says, oh, you mean exactly like your brain.
00:35:03.920
You only have the impression, it only looks like you have free will.
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.
00:35:23.840
If it's complicated, you can't predict what's going to happen.
00:35:30.880
And when we learn that, it's going to be a real mind-bender.
00:35:36.680
You know what the biggest possibility it opens up is?
00:35:42.460
Because if we're a simulation, we'll be identical to the simulations we create.
00:35:49.860
We're creating simulations that prove we're a simulation.
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.
00:36:34.140
Someone told me I am being too negative about the country.
00:36:37.620
At the moment, we have the smartest presidential candidate since Jefferson.
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?
00:36:59.240
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.
00:37:32.080
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.
00:37:46.400
And then I go on, but what about Biden, you ask?
00:37:54.900
And the country already decided that Biden's term is over, I think.
00:38:03.200
That the Democrats appear to be looking to move it around because their coverage has turned negative to some degree.
00:38:11.380
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.
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.
00:38:38.620
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.
00:39:03.940
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.
00:39:20.160
The public finally stopped trusting all authority, which I consider good.
00:39:23.840
Citizens are choosing cancellation over censorship.
00:39:28.840
Citizens are choosing cancellation over censorship and coming back stronger.
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.
00:40:19.620
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,
00:40:46.440
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.
00:41:41.140
Did my cancellation make any of you more timid?
00:41:47.620
Did my cancellation make any of you more timid?
00:41:54.840
Because I can now say whatever I want and have been exercising that right.
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?
00:42:23.160
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.
00:42:53.040
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.
00:43:08.360
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.
00:43:21.700
Greg Goldfeld, Bill Kristol has some fake news about him.
00:43:27.640
At least, yeah, and Rumble is another example of entrepreneurship.
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.
00:43:58.080
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.
00:44:45.120
But, you know what I mean when I say dad energy.
00:45:11.640
All right, so, Archer Devon is, is it today he's going to testify to Congress?
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.
00:45:50.280
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.
00:46:09.280
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.
00:46:25.740
Well, that sounds a little different than what they used to say, huh?
00:46:36.000
And, when she says he's not in business, does that mean they do not have a contract?
00:46:43.860
Does it mean that he's not a member of an LLC or a corporation that Hunter's in?
00:46:51.760
Does that mean he did not benefit from the illegal activities and also participated in them?
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.
00:47:21.000
One crime, allegedly, would be receiving money that some people would call bribes from other countries.
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?
00:47:56.160
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?
00:48:33.640
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.
00:49:26.800
But he tweets, let's see, first he tweeted on July 6th, and then there's an update to that.
00:49:40.740
He got picked up in Cyprus, and he had evidence of the Biden crime family firsthand.
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,
00:49:58.140
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.
00:50:25.900
There's something like bail, and he skipped out on it?
00:50:32.820
All right, so why would he be picked up in Cyprus instead of picked up in Israel?
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.
00:50:55.860
So, one possibility is that Netanyahu has this guy and doesn't want to release him to the U.S.
00:51:10.080
Now, you have seen that Biden has been unfriendly to Netanyahu.
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?
00:51:35.740
That Biden and Netanyahu don't seem to be quite clicking?
00:51:43.200
He goes, I was assuming that Biden's antipathy toward Netanyahu was political in nature,
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.
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.
00:52:27.140
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?
00:53:02.440
Not because I know it's true, because I don't, but it makes perfect sense.
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.
00:53:32.520
let's say a more hard-nosed policy toward Iran than Biden traditionally had,
00:53:40.600
or is it a story about covering up the Biden crime family?
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,
00:53:58.280
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?
00:54:16.700
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?
00:54:35.120
Does it seem weird to you that Biden was so involved in Ukraine long before the war?
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?
00:55:04.900
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?
00:55:32.680
That would mean he's responsible for the energy shortages in Europe,
00:55:43.680
would be because he's covering up the Biden crime family.
00:55:49.740
How about the January 6th charges 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
00:56:11.800
attacker of that stuff than any other candidate
00:56:14.420
because he's got a revenge motive that nobody else has.
00:56:24.500
and I wouldn't want to be on the other side of it.
00:56:30.620
that needed to be done to find out what was what.
00:57:43.100
from the entire presidential election architecture,
00:57:51.900
by covering up the Biden crime family activities.
