00:00:00.000
Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization.
00:00:10.240
There's never been a better time in the world to be alive.
00:00:14.260
And if you'd like to enjoy this experience in ways that humans have never even experienced
00:00:19.080
ever anywhere in the history of humanity, all you need is a cup or mug or a glass, a
00:00:24.780
tank or chalice or stye, and a canteen jug or flask, a vessel of any kind.
00:00:33.340
And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine hit of the day, the thing
00:00:51.660
Or was that the luckiest guess in the entire world?
00:01:05.560
I'm not going to tell you what it was, because then you'll use it.
00:01:13.020
And there was only one person who used that nickname.
00:01:27.840
Well, apparently, X, which used to be called Twitter, is going to add a calling feature.
00:01:34.680
So now they're going to replace the phone company, I guess.
00:01:41.500
So, you know, watching whatever it is that Elon Musk does with Twitter, it's going to be pretty amazing.
00:01:52.360
I feel like it's just beginning, and you haven't seen anything yet.
00:01:58.740
Which dovetails with an article that was in phys.org about entrepreneurs in the age at which they make their biggest changes.
00:02:08.180
And there's some suggestion, based on 2,900 founders that were looked at, that the older founders made more radical innovations.
00:02:24.520
That the older founders were consistently made bigger changes.
00:02:30.000
The young entrepreneurs would do more entrepreneurial stuff.
00:02:35.000
So young people are definitely more entrepreneurial.
00:02:37.020
But their improvements seem to be more small improvements on existing things.
00:02:44.700
Whereas the older people did, you know, complete replacement type stuff.
00:02:57.400
There are a number of, you know, famous examples people started when they're a little bit older.
00:03:01.700
But I would say that Elon Musk is now in that category of an older entrepreneur.
00:03:21.900
His plans for X are not some kind of incremental improvement.
00:03:30.280
So he clearly has the extraordinary, you know, huge change gene in him at every age.
00:03:38.620
Now, here's something that I guess I should disclose this.
00:03:43.580
I realized this morning, you know how you should disclose when you've got monetary connections to anything if you're talking about the news?
00:03:51.740
I mean, it's not, I don't think it's a legal requirement in my case, but it seems like good form to disclose.
00:03:58.140
Elon Musk is making me money three different ways now.
00:04:23.580
And it's actually, of the individual stocks I own, which are only a handful, it's my number one, you know, biggest increase.
00:04:35.660
And then you probably know I'm running the revised, you know, the Dilbert Reborn comic runs on Twitter as well as the Locals platform.
00:04:46.660
But on Twitter, I'm getting subscription fees now for Dilbert, for the subscribers.
00:04:52.600
But, and then as you know, if you have an account that has a certain size, you'll get ad revenue when X puts an ad in your comments fields.
00:05:06.620
So if you added the subscriptions and the ad revenue together, it would basically be a middle class income.
00:05:14.160
And then if you had the stock gains on top of it, it's the number one thing I made money on was Twitter.
00:05:27.000
So the number one thing I made money on in one category so far this year is Elon Musk.
00:05:32.620
Elon Musk, he made me more money than anything else did.
00:05:42.820
So that, you know, obviously changed my primary sources of income.
00:05:48.340
Well, I saw another article that waking up early is white supremacy.
00:06:11.180
What the hell do you think you're doing waking up early?
00:06:21.220
Now, I woke up at 4 a.m. this morning and went to work.
00:06:30.540
Extreme white supremacy for getting up extra early.
00:06:36.240
Well, most of you are just ordinary white supremacists.
00:06:44.140
So, I don't know if I've ever said this directly before, or if you heard me, but have you noticed
00:06:52.500
that having a good argument doesn't change people's minds?
00:06:59.540
Have you been alive on the planet Earth and you know that your really tight arguments don't
00:07:06.740
But sometimes, if you can communicate your argument in a simple and persuasive form, then
00:07:19.740
So, would you agree that the quality of the argument is somewhat not as effective as you
00:07:26.400
might imagine, but the quality of the persuasion, let's say taking away the logic part and all
00:07:33.460
But if you can put it into some little tight persuasion package, it could change everything.
00:07:41.100
I'm going to change the entire character of the United States right now.
00:07:48.920
Do you think I can come up with a few words, just a few words, less than a sentence, that
00:07:55.140
would change the course of the United States in a fundamental way?
00:08:03.460
Black Americans are denied the tool of imitation, the only way anybody ever succeeds.
00:08:18.600
They're denied the tool of imitation, the only way anybody ever succeeds.
00:08:26.780
I literally looked at other successful people, and they said, what do I got to do?
00:08:31.780
And I've been studying successful people, both directly and rigorously, like actually buying
00:08:39.660
a book, reading how somebody did it, you know, reading about Steve Jobs' biography, of course.
00:08:46.060
If you haven't read Steve Jobs' biography, are you really trying?
00:08:54.760
There's a whole book that tells you how the most successful person did it.
00:09:13.060
Have you studied Elon Musk's history of what he did and how it worked?
00:09:20.460
If you haven't done that, you're not even trying.
00:09:26.740
You should look at successful people, find out what they did.
00:09:30.600
If you work in a big company, do you already have a, let's say you're younger, do you already
00:09:35.720
have a mentor to tell you what works and what doesn't?
00:09:43.900
You need somebody to tell you what works and what doesn't work.
00:09:48.320
Have you read my book, Had It Failed Almost Everything and Still Went Big, a whole book
00:09:52.180
that tells you exactly what works and what doesn't to be successful?
00:10:04.640
I mean, relative to other things that you could do to succeed, reading a little book that's
00:10:10.020
tightly written and kind of fun to read anyway.
00:10:16.600
If you're not doing that or reading books like it, you know, it's not the only one in
00:10:21.600
the world, but if you're not reading books on success, are you really trying to be successful?
00:10:30.740
Why do I get up early and work usually at least two jobs?
00:10:35.520
Is it a coincidence that my father woke up early every day and worked two jobs?
00:10:41.300
He'd go to work at the post office and then come home, change his clothes, put on painting
00:10:51.860
And, you know, my mother worked in real estate while she was, she also worked in a factory
00:10:56.400
while she was taking care of the house and stuff.
00:10:58.680
So why do you think I work hard and usually have two jobs?
00:11:03.420
I'm either writing a book and doing comics and doing this.
00:11:10.600
I just saw what worked and I said, wow, that looks like a lot of work.
00:11:14.400
Looks really hard, but I can see that it works.
00:11:21.220
Now, black Americans are denied this path that I used because if they were to look as successful
00:11:27.820
people, they would have to act like, what, Steve Jobs?
00:11:35.220
Do you feel comfortable acting like Steve Jobs if you're a black American?
00:11:41.100
If you're a conservative, for example, you might say, just tell me what works and I'll do it.
00:11:46.200
If you're not a conservative, you might say, I don't know, that's sort of a culture with
00:11:52.240
a different set of priorities and I feel like I should copy somebody that I emulate maybe
00:11:59.380
And the trouble is that if you live where there are not a lot of Steve Jobs and you've got
00:12:04.260
more drug dealers and criminals, you're probably going to imitate them because they might be
00:12:25.940
Everybody but black Americans can copy successful people.
00:12:30.320
And black Americans, for whatever reason, I'm not even sure exactly.
00:12:34.000
You know, I don't want to say culture because I think that's too dismissive and too easy.
00:12:41.160
I don't think it's a genetic thing because, you know, you see the Nigerians come over and
00:12:47.920
So there's something going on and I don't think we need to know what the problem is, but you
00:13:01.240
Once you realize that nobody has done it any other way, imitation is how you succeed.
00:13:11.800
Now, I haven't quite got it into the perfect few words, but the idea is that imitation is
00:13:24.020
You know, not exactly what they did, but their process.
00:13:27.280
If you're not copying successful people, when did Steve Jobs sell drugs and go to jail?
00:13:51.860
So you just go right down the line and you tell me what people who were successful did.
00:13:58.280
If you look at Zuckerberg, Steve Jobs, and Bill Gates, when they started to get really
00:14:03.980
rich, did you notice that they didn't act rich?
00:14:09.200
They all drove like old cars and the story was they wore the same clothes and, you know,
00:14:19.060
That's all part of the process because they need other people to do work for them to continue
00:14:25.480
getting richer and they want to make sure the other people are motivated and they don't
00:14:31.800
So they make sure that their life, you know, looks a little bit more like the employees.
00:14:38.600
Eventually they build the billion dollar house.
00:14:41.720
But you can see that the process is very much about imitation.
00:14:46.400
Did anybody notice that Zuckerberg imitated Steve Jobs' dress style and imitated, I would
00:15:00.440
And if black Americans, for whatever reason, and part of the reason I don't want to speculate
00:15:07.380
or assume that I know what that reason is, because I feel like that's just a little bit
00:15:12.980
too much mind reading or assuming too much about a group of people that I don't have
00:15:21.500
So I would say that it's up to black America to figure that out.
00:15:28.160
Copy people who are not like you, who are succeeding, and just keep doing it.
00:15:33.100
And look into what they did, ask them, get a mentor, read a book about successful people,
00:15:39.700
and just stop copying people who are going to end up in jail.
00:15:44.680
Now, I say it's that simple, but it's available to everybody.
00:15:52.020
So that's my reframe to change the world, that black people are denied.
00:16:11.920
I can just look at anybody and say, all right, I'm going to do what you do.
00:16:17.160
And if you're black, for some reason, the mechanisms are different.
00:16:24.300
And as soon as I try to tell you why that's different, then I think I lose all credibility.
00:16:35.500
I'm not going to tell you why you're not doing it.
00:16:40.140
You have to figure out why you're not doing it.
00:16:47.160
And if you don't do it, I don't give a fuck about you.
00:16:56.280
That has everything to do with anybody who's not trying.
00:16:59.180
If you're not trying and you're not succeeding, well, I don't give a fuck about you.
00:17:07.460
Because, you know, the world is full of people with gigantic real problems.
00:17:11.660
I mean, I'm basically running on empty for empathy as it is.
00:17:15.520
I got plenty of empathy, but not for people who are not doing the obvious thing to succeed.
00:17:27.240
In a similar fashion, you may have noticed that I was ignoring the story about the Alabama
00:17:38.220
And I would echo, you know, what Greg Goffeld said, which is, why is this local story a story?
00:17:44.700
But, of course, you know, that race was involved.
00:18:00.680
It looked to me like there was some disagreement about a dock parking space.
00:18:07.320
And it looked to me like a white guy threw the first punch.
00:18:20.300
Do I care if the black people beat him to death?
00:18:26.720
But if it had gone that way, if some drunk white guy threw the first punch, and the end result was that black people beat him to death, go black people.
00:18:44.620
If you throw the first punch, I don't have any sympathy for you.
00:18:47.780
If you threaten Biden and the FBI shoot your ass, I don't care about you.
00:19:01.820
But I was totally on the side of the black guys who fought back.
00:19:09.520
I don't think there's an appropriate second way to look at this.
00:19:13.660
But I don't think it should have been a story either.
00:19:16.440
You know, we're turning it into a story because we're, you know, imagining it's a story of the whole world.
00:19:25.100
It's probably a story about a drunk guy who may have been under a misunderstanding or something.
00:19:32.700
But I don't know what it's about, but it doesn't have any national relevance.
00:19:35.680
So let's stop coddling people who start fights and resist arrest and threaten presidents.
00:19:51.380
Victoria's Secrets is allegedly changing their, let's say, approach from everybody is beautiful, you know, with overweight models and such.
00:20:04.760
And now they're going back to some kind of a classic model look, including some older ones.
00:20:14.000
Naomi Campbell, who's over 50, they're bringing her back.
00:20:25.520
So they're going to have some classics, but then they're bringing in some younger, famous people who are also attractive.
00:20:32.740
Now, they're not fully un-woke in the sense that they seem to be changing their approach to include much older models.
00:20:48.040
You know, I don't think anybody has a problem with that because the older models they're using look like younger models.
00:20:55.420
Now, you know, I think I agree with most of you.
00:20:59.500
I'm reading your minds to know that you agree with me before I ask.
00:21:02.800
But if your entire business is about physical female beauty, it doesn't really make sense if you run away from it.
00:21:13.520
You know, it's more of a question, should you exist at all?
00:21:15.880
If we agree they should exist, that it's legal and moral and ethical, they should do it any way they want.
00:21:26.160
Because the rest of the world can sell to anybody else the way they want.
00:21:31.140
So I think that this is yet another evidence of ESG and mostly ESG, I guess.
00:21:39.580
But any kind of wokeness looks like it's failing.
00:21:52.720
Allegedly, the Coliseum in Rome might be a venue for the Musk versus Zuckerberg fight.
00:22:02.560
I still don't know if the fight's going to happen.
00:22:07.800
Because I guess Elon Musk had some back problems.
00:22:15.520
I mean, I don't know how bad the back thing is.
00:22:19.620
But, you know, you wouldn't want him to fight if that's a risk.
00:22:24.860
But I love the fact that people are talking about a billion dollars in revenue raising a billion dollars.
00:22:32.480
And it makes me wonder, how much would Dana White make?
00:22:37.280
How much would Dana White make for organizing a fight that brought in a billion dollars?
00:22:50.740
Because my understanding is the money would go to charity, right?
00:22:53.420
If he organizes it and it makes a billion dollars for charity, can he really take a cut?
00:23:13.280
But I'm going to make a read on a stranger, because I don't know Dana White.
00:23:19.600
But I don't believe that a man, there's the key sentence, a man not just in the biologically male sense, but he's not just a man.
00:23:32.800
If you're a man's man, and you're the one organizing the biggest charity event of all time, you don't take a cut.
00:23:50.500
Now, if he does take a cut, I wouldn't criticize him.
00:23:55.720
Because it's a business, and it's all transparent.
00:24:06.420
So given that his organization, he would do a tremendous amount of work.
00:24:14.480
I think he would just cover his costs, because it's a charity event.
00:24:18.900
Which would be one of the smartest business plays, a non-financial play, I guess.
00:24:24.920
But in terms of your view of what his company does and who he is, it would be pretty amazing.
00:24:39.360
Because he's played everything else pretty smart.
00:24:52.380
Thank you, Fox News, for bringing this to my attention.
00:25:19.000
Anyway, he founded the United Handyman Association.
00:25:29.940
And the reason I think it's so funny is that I can so easily see myself doing this exact thing.
00:25:38.740
But the way he removes squatters is he just walks in and he lives with them.
00:25:47.360
He just walks in the door and makes himself at home, brings in his stuff, and he just moves in.
00:25:58.180
And then every time they come into the living room, he's sitting on their couch.
00:26:06.820
Oh, sorry, did I leave the refrigerator open again?
00:26:12.160
He installs ring cameras in every room of the house.
00:26:16.220
Because he actually gets a lease with the owner of the house before he goes in.
00:26:24.540
So as the only legal resident, he just puts up ring cameras.
00:26:33.560
So if you're a handyman, you can probably, like, install them so they're a little harder to take down.
00:26:42.640
You know, his handyman work while they're trying to sleep?
00:26:53.940
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
00:26:58.180
Now, how many of you put yourself in the situation and said, I could do that.
00:27:05.580
I could play that seriously from beginning to end.
00:27:13.880
But here's my racially charged comment on that.
00:27:24.280
Am I wrong that this is a real white guy thing to do?
00:27:32.060
It's like the most white guy thing I've ever seen in my life.
00:27:50.240
It's basically one long dad joke that serves a function of getting rid of a squatter.
00:28:01.560
So if you ever need anybody to do a dad joke, call an old white guy.
00:28:18.640
I've said this before, but I keep thinking about it.
00:28:24.040
And as you know, it would be illegal for the shop owner to employ any violence.
00:28:32.560
But could a shop owner have an arrangement with somebody else who did?
00:28:38.000
So for example, could you hire some scary people to just hang around outside your store?
00:28:44.860
But let's say they're not on salary, so they're not working for you officially.
00:28:53.400
So whatever they do on the sidewalk, that's not your problem.
00:28:57.200
That's just something that happened on the sidewalk from people who do not work for me.
00:29:07.960
So if my merchandise leaves the store and it was worth $100, and let's just say, hypothetically, somebody on the sidewalk who was not employed by me stole it back.
00:29:25.480
But if somebody did it, you know, on their own, and then they came back in the store and said, yeah, hey, I've got this product.
00:29:32.900
Would you pay me 10% of the dollar to get it back?
00:29:35.360
I'd say, well, a stranger, a person who does not work for me and is not on my payroll at all, I'm up for that.
00:29:48.580
Or you can keep 10% of the stuff you steal back.
00:29:51.040
But when I saw the story about the squatter remover guy, what I loved about the story is he used the law against the law.
00:30:03.940
So the law is that squatters have all kinds of rights.
00:30:07.740
And if you're a citizen and the law is not on your side, you're helpless because you can't physically remove them.
00:30:15.740
So instead of being thwarted by the law, he did tell me the phrase.
00:30:32.640
How do you destroy a rule or a law that is absurd, but you can't get it changed in ordinary ways?
00:30:49.320
I mean, he was a legal squatter because he had a lease.
00:30:52.080
But he just acted like a squatter, and nobody could remove him.
00:31:01.060
So it makes me wonder if there's some way shop owners can use the law that says apparently you can rob people with impunity all day long.
00:31:10.340
But the shop owners can't stop a, if you're the shop owner, you can't stop a crime.
00:31:15.760
So instead of stopping a crime, you become a criminal.
00:31:19.540
Now, I don't think the store owner could stand outside the store and stop somebody and rob it back, because that would look like the store owner stopping.
00:31:28.020
But as long as there were some people who were willing to do it for you, and they knew there was a market for the goods once they stole them, a 10% market, would they not be willing to rob that person as they left the store?
00:31:44.940
Now, this isn't the best idea I've ever had, but I'll give you the concept.
00:31:49.380
The concept is, is there a way to use the law to thwart the law?
00:31:54.080
And I don't know if there is exactly, but something in that neighborhood.
00:31:58.540
Somehow humans have to stop the criminals without themselves getting in trouble.
00:32:05.320
Would you agree that waiting for law enforcement is now a stupid strategy?
00:32:09.220
I mean, waiting for them to improve their game, or waiting for them to show up.
00:32:15.780
So it has to be human on human, citizen on citizen.
00:32:32.500
I wouldn't mind seeing snipers killing shoplifters.
00:32:35.880
Because you wouldn't have to kill that many, you know, once the word got around.
00:32:40.840
Probably 20 shoplifters and everybody would get the message.
00:32:49.360
You know, DeSantis says he's going to stop the bad guys at the border using violence, you know, using the military.
00:32:55.620
And I'm thinking, at the border, you're going to wait for them to get on our territory before you stop them?
00:33:04.920
We have all this video where you can actually see the coyote.
00:33:13.820
And they're standing in the stream directing people.
00:33:18.040
Are you telling me our military doesn't have anybody who can take that guy out from our side?
00:33:26.140
The snipers should be taking them out on their side.
00:33:39.120
You don't think we should be snipering the coyotes from our side of the border?
00:33:44.080
Because you don't have to clean it up if they die on the other side.
00:33:47.480
If they die on our side, we've got all this paperwork.
00:33:50.740
If a sniper takes them out on their side, there's no paperwork.
00:34:02.300
I'd like the military to take them out with snipers.
00:34:05.260
And then I'd like lots of video of the actual event.
00:34:18.620
So I believe I can say you should take somebody's head off.
00:34:22.180
And I'm well within the moral and ethical bounds of what I'm doing here.
00:34:34.780
Have you noticed that X, which used to be called Twitter,
00:34:42.280
have you noticed it's the only place you can get context about news?
00:34:47.380
I only know of one place where I have a chance of seeing both arguments.
00:34:58.600
But at least if the silo I'm in has an argument that's just complete bullshit,
00:35:06.080
And there will almost certainly be some Democrat who comes over
00:35:18.860
I don't believe Instagram is showing you both sides.
00:35:22.320
I don't know what Facebook looks like because why would anybody use Facebook?
00:35:34.100
Honestly, I haven't even opened it in so long I can't remember.
00:35:46.520
For about a minute and a half it was a competitor to X
00:35:51.260
and now it's a thing you sort of vaguely remember
00:35:57.800
I don't know why anybody would own their stock, honestly.
00:36:02.220
Well, why would anybody own a stock that no young person uses
00:36:06.280
and therefore you can pretty much predict the end of the company?
00:36:11.340
The only thing they have going for them, well, they do have Instagram, that's right.
00:36:15.060
They have Instagram and WhatsApp is doing fine.
00:36:17.900
But the whole Meta virtual reality looks like it's going nowhere.
00:36:22.760
And the Facebook, you know, the old Facebook classic,
00:36:30.920
I guess it's just families with kids or something.
00:36:39.540
So anyway, it's the only place with context and here is an example of that.
00:36:45.260
So there's a bunch of stories about Justice Thomas
00:36:47.420
who took a bunch of trips, including international trips.
00:36:52.120
He took 109 reported trips since 1991 and five international trips.
00:36:56.740
And I guess the story is that he has a rich friend who brings him along on trips.
00:37:05.080
but the rich friend is a conservative and Justice Thomas is a conservative.
00:37:10.240
And the concern is that Justice Thomas would be influenced by his friend
00:37:15.320
because he's getting a lot of monetary benefit from traveling with him.
00:37:21.220
and I don't know why this wasn't the first thing that came to my mind,
00:37:23.900
but it made me feel stupid for not saying it first.
00:37:27.760
do you really think that Justice Thomas needs to be bribed to have conservative opinions?
00:37:38.200
He's literally unbribable because his opinions have always been the same.
00:37:44.460
You can see a whole history of his opinion never changing, basically.
00:37:56.380
Was he going to become a liberal because you didn't bribe him enough?
00:38:06.880
He might be the least bribable human being on the planet.
00:38:15.460
you can still predict a year in advance what he would have voted.
00:38:21.200
Isn't he the most predictable vote on the court?
00:38:26.480
Well, I'm sure the liberals are as predictable.
00:38:50.000
Well, if he's not a swing voter, how in the world can you, how?
00:38:57.340
How could you possibly bribe somebody who's always going to act the same no matter what?
00:39:02.780
Now, I would agree that I don't like the look of it.
00:39:05.760
And I'll say the same thing that I said about Biden and his situation with foreign benefit.
00:39:14.840
Even if there are no laws broken, if you're a public servant, you kind of have to adhere to the appearance of impropriety.
00:39:24.340
I feel like at that level they have to manage to appearance.
00:39:29.160
It's obviously his right, and he didn't break any laws.
00:39:34.500
So he has every right to do it, and I support him in his right to do it, as he would support me.
00:39:43.600
I'm pretty sure that Justice Thomas would support me if my freedom were taken away in some unconstitutional way.
00:39:54.720
As long as it's legal, apparently it's transparent, because we know the actual numbers, and he's traveling around with somebody who just happens to agree with him on everything.
00:40:13.880
If I were doing something that made Justice Thomas a little bit uncomfortable, he'd still back me, as long as I was within the law, right?
00:40:24.240
So the fact that he makes me uncomfortable with that association, not good enough.
00:40:31.900
I'm going to back him on the law, same as he would for me, I think.
00:40:35.940
All right, but here's the context that Steve Guest helpfully provided.
00:40:43.320
Sure, Justice Thomas took 109 trips, including five international since 1991.
00:40:50.720
Well, as Steve Guest points out, RBG, who was appointed in 1993, took 157 trips and 28 international.
00:41:00.440
Stephen Steffen, or Stephen Breyer, appointed in 1994, took 233 trips and 63 international trips.
00:41:08.860
So apparently Justice Thomas is not traveling nearly as much as those two had.
00:41:21.680
But I also believe that RBG and Stephen Breyer probably were not influenced in any way, right?
00:41:35.860
Now, the Biden standard is different because we saw the flow of money.
00:41:41.820
The fact that he may or may not have done something illegal is a little less important than the fact that we can see the flow of money.
00:41:49.760
It's one thing to go on a trip with a rich person.
00:41:56.140
The rich person needs other people to go with them on trips or they don't have fun, right?
00:42:03.680
But if the other people can't go on a luxury vacation because they can't afford it,
00:42:11.260
it doesn't really make sense for you not to pay for their trip
00:42:14.320
because you're just basically buying yourself a friend.
00:42:17.800
So I don't mind that people buy themselves friends to go on trips.
00:42:25.000
I don't think that any of these people change their votes because of it.
00:42:28.680
And it's very different to me that somebody goes along on a private plane
00:42:35.560
and then gets on the yacht that was already bought and already owned.
00:42:39.620
That's different than somebody actually sending cash.
00:42:46.280
And so Biden's in a different conversation there.
00:42:53.980
CNN is reporting that support for funding Ukraine is starting to erode.
00:43:06.280
Is there anything happening over there that would erode your confidence in funding?
00:43:12.080
Could it be learning about the Biden criminal enterprise?
00:43:18.600
Could it be that now we are not so sure this is all about making America safer?
00:43:24.080
Because it doesn't look like it's making America safer.
00:43:38.960
that could be ended in a day with any president except Joe Biden?
00:43:52.000
Because I'm pretty sure that a capable person could end this in a day.
00:44:09.620
is the one that you have some questions about his loyalty to the country
00:44:25.020
Well, it does seem related to policy, actually.
00:44:44.080
There might be some argument for it that I'm not aware of.
00:44:47.360
So let's just say there's an argument for and against supporting Ukraine.
00:45:29.820
Scott, would you like to give some money to support Ukraine?
00:46:03.760
there's some way that they can make money off of this?
00:46:10.680
I still, you know, I love the Ukrainian people.
00:46:18.120
to the guy who's being bribed by Ukraine, apparently.
00:46:26.920
So this is one of those appearance of conflict problems.
00:46:32.240
Do I know for sure that Joe Biden has ever made a decision
00:46:38.300
or Hunter was making money that could also benefit him?
00:46:47.680
But do you think you know anything for sure about Ukraine?
00:46:54.400
Scott, do you think the prosecutor situation was legit?
00:47:09.420
60% likely it's exactly what you thought it was,
00:47:19.980
But the 40% that I'm completely wrong about that,
00:47:55.880
It's like, why is he even in that business at all?
00:48:00.400
You know, we're not doing it anywhere else, are we?
00:48:17.300
as long as Biden's the one in charge of the money.
00:48:34.600
You do not have to listen to why it's good or bad
00:48:38.300
You only have to know that the person who's asking for it
00:48:51.920
But every one of those fucking 8 billion people,
00:48:57.740
has more credibility asking for money for Ukraine
00:49:05.280
He's the only asshole in the world that I wouldn't trust
00:49:14.960
You could put Adam Schiff or Eric Swalwell in those jobs.
00:49:22.960
And I would still say, okay, make your argument.
00:49:27.580
But I'm not going to listen to Joe Biden's argument.
00:50:27.280
There's a technology that's coming along pretty fast.
00:50:33.080
I'm going to tie this into Ukraine in a moment.
00:50:37.100
Apparently, somebody has made a little robot dog
