Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2211 Scott Adams： Let's Talk About The Winged Monkeys Running The Palace & More Fun News

00:00:00.000 Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-ra-ba-ba-ba-ba-la-ba.

00:00:08.480 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization.

00:00:14.960 It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and I don't believe there's ever been a better time in the,

00:00:20.760 well, the entire recorded history since the beginning of the Big Bang,

00:00:23.980 and if you'd like to take it up to levels which nobody could have even imagined, even yesterday,

00:00:29.040 all you need is a cup or mug or a glass, a tank or chalice, a stein, a canteen jug or flask,

00:00:33.940 a vessel of any kind, fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:00:38.720 I like coffee.

00:00:40.100 Join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine of the day.

00:00:43.240 The thing makes everything better.

00:00:44.800 It's called the simultaneous sip.

00:00:48.360 Go.

00:00:53.840 Well, congratulations.

00:00:54.960 This makes you a trained sypnotist.

00:00:59.720 That's right.

00:01:00.240 You're a sypnotist now.

00:01:03.600 Use that power kindly.

00:01:07.220 All right.

00:01:07.780 Had to make sure my coffee warmer was on, and it is.

00:01:11.960 Who makes a coffee warmer where you can't see if it's on because the coffee cup is on it?

00:01:17.000 The indicator light to say that it's on is hidden behind your coffee cup.

00:01:22.480 Come on.

00:01:23.540 Who designed that?

00:01:25.380 All right.

00:01:25.960 Well, here's the good news.

00:01:27.280 My book, Reframe Your Brain, the audiobook, is now available.

00:01:31.460 You can get that on Amazon, for example.

00:01:33.620 You can just search for it.

00:01:35.240 Reframe Your Brain.

00:01:36.640 My link's on Twitter.

00:01:37.760 And I will remind you of something I taught you once before about how to predict a hit.

00:01:47.200 Here's how you predict a product or service or something would be a hit.

00:01:51.960 And this is very reliable.

00:01:54.420 It's if somebody takes your product and they immediately extend it.

00:01:59.320 In other words, they turn your product into some form of another product.

00:02:03.140 Now, ideally, it's not because your product was bad and they needed to fix it.

00:02:09.600 That's bad.

00:02:11.080 That's what I did with my shop vac.

00:02:13.140 I bought a shop vac, but it was terrible.

00:02:15.280 So I had to add my own wheels and a thing to hold the cables and stuff.

00:02:19.880 And then it was a good shop vac.

00:02:21.580 But that would be an example of a product that's terrible, like a regular shop vac.

00:02:28.100 If you use them, they always fall over.

00:02:30.060 And all the cords get, you know, the hose and the cords are all tangled.

00:02:34.960 So a shop vac is something that predicts success a different way.

00:02:40.500 The way the shop vac predicts that you're going to want it anyway is that you will put up with the worst design of a product in the history of products.

00:02:48.460 A shop vac.

00:02:49.660 Oh, I think I'll move it one foot.

00:02:51.360 Oh, it fell over.

00:02:53.280 Let me untangle everything and move it one more foot.

00:02:56.540 Oh, it fell over again.

00:02:58.340 I fixed all of that.

00:02:59.440 Now, the fact that I would put, like, two days of effort into fixing my shop vac just so it doesn't fall over every time I move it and get tangled up means that I really wanted a shop vac.

00:03:12.420 Like, that's a good prediction.

00:03:14.340 Cell phones, when you first got them, dropped the call, you know, too slow, 3G, but you couldn't get enough of them.

00:03:21.240 So it's the fact that it's a bad form and people are still, you know, begging for it.

00:03:26.560 That's one prediction.

00:03:28.020 But the second prediction, second method of prediction, is the extended product.

00:03:34.320 Now, this is almost the opposite of the first case.

00:03:38.760 The first case is there's something wrong with it and people are trying to fix it or put up with it.

00:03:43.840 The second case is that they like it so much they want more of it.

00:03:49.100 So it took all of one day from the time that the soft cover was published for Reframe Your Brain that two people ripped it off and put up what they call workbooks,

00:04:02.280 which is essentially my book with my name on it and my title, but they put workbook above it and they summarize it.

00:04:11.880 Now, of course, this is deeply illegal and unethical, in my opinion, because this particular book, there's nothing wrong with summarizing a book.

00:04:22.200 That's actually a different product.

00:04:24.260 But in this case, the book is sort of in summary form.

00:04:29.260 Reframes are summaries.

00:04:30.320 You can't summarize a summary.

00:04:33.980 The entire reason that I wrote Reframe Your Brain is to take a bunch of complicated stuff and put it in the shortest, literally two-sentence form.

00:04:42.800 The old sentence, the bad way of thinking of it, and then the new sentence that reprograms your brain.

00:04:49.400 And somebody immediately, within 24 hours, had published two different books, two different authors.

00:04:56.720 And I saw it the first time, and my first impression, let me walk you through this.

00:05:03.800 This is the author brain.

00:05:06.080 My first impression was, ah, plagiarists, they must be killed.

00:05:11.980 You know, I reported them, of course.

00:05:13.420 But my second impression was, whoa, that hasn't happened before.

00:05:22.420 I've never had anybody rip off my book the moment.

00:05:25.580 Well, no, I take that back.

00:05:27.200 I take that back.

00:05:28.580 This happened once before.

00:05:30.580 It was my biggest hit.

00:05:31.900 My first book, you know, proper book with text and everything, was The Dilbert Principle.

00:05:42.240 Within hours of The Dilbert Principle being published, it was completely pirated and available everywhere for free.

00:05:53.200 Within hours.

00:05:54.920 I'd never seen that before.

00:05:56.180 People actually scanned the book.

00:06:01.040 They took the book, scanned every page, and within hours, it was free all over the world.

00:06:08.220 Now, of course, I was not happy about that.

00:06:11.200 But what does that demonstrate?

00:06:14.200 That's almost always a reliable indicator of a hit.

00:06:18.200 And it was a wild number one bestseller.

00:06:20.560 So the fact that this book is hitting that same kind of energy, that people are stealing it the moment it appears, it's just like massively being stolen.

00:06:33.700 That is a good sign.

00:06:35.700 That is a predictable sign.

00:06:37.840 So keep an eye on that.

00:06:38.960 There are now a soft cover in audiobook and Kindle.

00:06:43.180 And I have to tell you, I did not read the narration for the book.

00:06:49.880 I tried.

00:06:50.840 I booked a studio.

00:06:53.420 I showed up.

00:06:54.740 I worked all morning.

00:06:56.240 But my dyslexia was just out of control.

00:06:59.320 So I just couldn't read the sentences in the order they were written.

00:07:02.540 I tried.

00:07:03.500 I mean, I really gave it my maximum effort.

00:07:06.260 But Andrew Baldwin is reading this.

00:07:08.140 I chose him myself and have lots of choices because I thought he had the right, just the right tone.

00:07:16.060 Let's talk about the bad government and everything that's happening here.

00:07:20.780 I have a hypothesis that I'm working on.

00:07:23.620 And it goes like this.

00:07:25.820 We'll talk about these other stories in detail.

00:07:28.060 We'll talk about Trump and we'll talk about Elon Musk.

00:07:30.280 But if you don't know, both Musk and Trump were targeted in what looks like really transparently obvious political attacks from the Biden administration.

00:07:42.820 Now, you could say it's not the administration.

00:07:46.100 It's individual, you know, prosecutors.

00:07:49.480 No, it isn't.

00:07:51.280 There's some kind of coordinated quality to it that's somewhat obvious.

00:07:55.560 But how coordinated is it?

00:07:58.600 Here's my hypothesis.

00:08:01.040 We would not be seeing the things we're seeing if we had an actual president who was in charge.

00:08:09.340 In other words, my belief is that it's now so obviously a criminal enterprise and it's so obviously a political prosecution.

00:08:17.580 And it's so far over the line that no president would do that and turn his legacy to garbage.

00:08:24.780 At this point, I would say that Biden's legacy is just criminal and garbage.

00:08:31.440 Now, it wasn't bad enough, you know, that there was the Biden crime family allegations.

00:08:35.880 But I don't even know what was illegal about that.

00:08:38.560 It might have been just unseemly and, you know, we wish it didn't happen.

00:08:43.480 I'm not even sure what's illegal.

00:08:45.000 But when we're watching this stuff like what's happening to Trump, what's happening today to Musk, we'll tell you about it if you haven't heard.

00:08:52.640 These seem so obviously over the line.

00:08:56.360 And at the same time, we're not hearing anything from the administration about whether they would or would not put up with more mandates for COVID.

00:09:05.980 I mean, just imagine that if Biden were in charge, you'd see a lot more of them, obviously.

00:09:16.020 And I don't think he would allow things to go where they are now because it's just so, so obvious that it's criminal.

00:09:26.740 And I don't think he would do that.

00:09:28.340 I think a president would tell everybody to be cool because things are working OK.

00:09:33.400 It looks like he can get reelected if he tries hard.

00:09:36.980 Right.

00:09:37.280 This isn't really the time where all the individual winged monkeys would be going crazy because it's just too far.

00:09:45.140 I mean, we've reached the point where it's too far everywhere.

00:09:49.280 It was just absurd.

00:09:51.080 So here's my hypothesis.

00:09:52.280 What we're observing looks like an unled country, certainly for the domestic political stuff.

00:09:59.620 I think we're just unled.

00:10:01.560 I don't believe we would have this situation with an actual president who is functioning because it just looks like too much chaos.

00:10:10.580 And I mean, it's almost turning into like a legal civil war, you know, lawfare civil war.

00:10:16.160 And I don't think we can ignore the fact that we don't have a leader.

00:10:23.160 So everything looks like a bunch of people doing what they think makes sense for their team.

00:10:28.860 You know, you got some Democrat prosecutors over here and another pocket over here.

00:10:33.360 They're saying, well, those other guys are getting away with everything.

00:10:36.360 Let's let's try something over here.

00:10:38.060 Yeah, so I guess what has happened is the Democrats have turned into a zombie party.

00:10:48.760 You know, zombies always act in a coordinated fashion, but they have no leader, right?

00:10:53.600 If you're the last living person in the cabin and there are zombies around, the zombies don't need to be, you know, ordered.

00:11:01.840 Hey, everybody, zombies, zombies over here, gather around.

00:11:07.080 Here's our idea.

00:11:08.420 We found some living people with brains.

00:11:10.620 They're over here.

00:11:11.660 We're going to surround it.

00:11:13.120 I need you guys to try to do the hand through the window thing.

00:11:17.960 Could you do that?

00:11:19.220 You over here, we need you to be knocking on this door.

00:11:22.480 If anybody can get any kind of a roof thing going, like the zombies on the roof, and try digging.

00:11:28.800 Do we have any digging zombies?

00:11:30.040 Did anybody bring a shovel?

00:11:31.960 Nobody brought a shovel.

00:11:33.240 All right.

00:11:33.840 Use your hands.

00:11:34.960 Try to dig under the, you know, so that's what it would look like if it were organized.

00:11:38.760 But instead, we've got, prosecute Trump.

00:11:43.260 No, no, I must prosecute Trump.

00:11:46.500 Who likes Trump?

00:11:47.780 Or at least doesn't hate him.

00:11:49.600 Who also is not on our side?

00:11:52.120 Mosque.

00:11:52.940 Mosque.

00:11:53.600 What about that cartoonist?

00:11:55.060 Get the cartoonist.

00:11:56.260 The cartoonist.

00:11:57.620 Ah, zombie.

00:11:58.460 So that's basically our government.

00:12:04.020 So even a threat won't work in this situation.

00:12:09.140 You know, I keep thinking, well, what can you do about it?

00:12:11.540 You know, what can we do about this situation?

00:12:13.160 And I thought, well, you know, what if the people who are, you know, on the other side of this, the conservatives, let's say, suppose they banded together to do what?

00:12:25.060 Well, what?

00:12:29.080 You know, everybody's individual house is being attacked by zombies.

00:12:33.780 You're lucky if you can protect your own house.

00:12:37.340 And if you are going to attack, there's no leader to attack.

00:12:42.000 There's nobody to attack.

00:12:43.880 There's nothing you could do to Biden that would make any difference at all.

00:12:47.560 You could say, well, we're going to vote against you like that makes any difference.

00:12:52.300 I don't think it does.

00:12:55.080 I mean, we're at the point where you have to say, again, the most important reframe, in my opinion, is that citizens are innocent until proven guilty.

00:13:06.040 I'll say it a million times.

00:13:08.080 The government is guilty until proven innocence by transparency.

00:13:13.880 Transparency is the only thing that gets you a pass.

00:13:16.540 If you can let us inside, let us look around, audit when we need to, you know, let people have access to whatever we need to, well, then I'm willing to say, all right, we looked around, didn't find anything, carry on.

00:13:31.620 But the moment transparency is not fully in effect, the assumption has to be the worst case.

00:13:39.300 So while I have zero evidence that anything happened with all 50 of the state elections, I know I don't have transparency.

00:13:47.140 And while I don't know exactly what's going on with all these decisions about Trump being dieted everywhere and whatever's happening to Musk that looks like, you know, transparently political, I have to assume that that's all dirty.

00:14:01.260 The operating assumption is that it's all crooked.

00:14:07.040 So in my opinion, the lack of transparency allows a reasonable person to say you have a criminal enterprise, but I don't believe it's organized.

00:14:16.980 It doesn't look organized.

00:14:18.720 It looks like a whole bunch of zombies who know where their brains and they're going to eat them.

00:14:23.300 And that's it.

00:14:24.640 So if you've got a brain, look out.

00:14:26.860 Coming for you.

00:14:28.080 Coming for you.

00:14:28.820 Wall Street Journal had their top editorial piece today was on Vivek Ramaswamy.

00:14:39.420 And the general take was that he's too inexperienced in international geopolitical stuff and that he'd get us in trouble with his lack of experience.

00:14:50.480 He's no Nikki Haley, for example.

00:14:52.580 And so two examples would be that he would be willing to end the Ukraine war, you know, negotiate something, make sure Putin doesn't feel threatened from NATO and try to wind that down.

00:15:07.100 And the Wall Street editorial board believes that there's a way better, there's a better option than that and that he's doing the dumb one.

00:15:17.160 Do you know what the better option is?

00:15:19.180 Does everybody know what the better option is than stopping a war that we don't need?

00:15:23.640 That has no purpose.

00:15:26.040 This is the Wall Street Journal.

00:15:27.340 And they had a better option than stopping the war that is completely optional, as far as I can tell.

00:15:33.720 Do you know what it was?

00:15:36.240 All right.

00:15:37.120 Let me say in advance that I'm not joking when I say this.

00:15:41.400 Their situation was to beat Russia.

00:15:45.880 To beat them in the war.

00:15:49.600 Do I even have to say anything about that?

00:15:51.540 What happened to the Wall Street Journal?

00:15:55.800 That's like their top editorial.

00:15:58.520 That it would be better to beat.

00:16:00.200 Now, when I say beat them, I mean, you know, beat them down to the point where China would say, I mean, just hold this in your head.

00:16:08.680 That their better idea than ending an optional war, the better idea is to beat down that superpower until China didn't want to deal with them.

00:16:19.880 How does that happen?

00:16:21.980 Like, connect those dots for me.

00:16:24.620 Why does China stop dealing with their, you know, their neighbor who has energy assets they need?

00:16:30.920 Why do they do that?

00:16:32.640 Because Putin didn't win a war?

00:16:34.860 So they're not going to buy his cheap oil?

00:16:37.580 Like, how does that even connect?

00:16:40.620 And then here's the other one that, because Vivek doesn't want to protect Taiwan forever,

00:16:46.720 he says, once we get our microchip business here, then that's China's business.

00:16:51.540 And the Wall Street Journal says, but if you let Taiwan go, you're selling out Japan because China's obvious intentions are to take over the whole South China Sea.

00:17:04.300 Maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe that is their intention.

00:17:10.360 But is, is Taiwan the thing you're going to defend?

00:17:14.340 Really?

00:17:14.840 Really?

00:17:15.340 Now, I, I, I get that we should defend, you know, to some extent our, our allies.

00:17:23.520 That's sort of what the ally thing is about.

00:17:25.580 But do we have to be everybody's, we have to be everybody's police force on the other side of the world, on the, on the beach practically of China?

00:17:35.120 That's, that's, that's where we're going to be the police?

00:17:38.300 You know, I don't, I don't have a great idea, by the way.

00:17:41.480 I'm not sure what's the right thing to do on Taiwan.

00:17:43.960 It looks like it's tough either way.

00:17:45.800 There might be something you can negotiate that had some other element besides Taiwan that, that gives everybody something like a good result.

00:17:53.320 I don't know, maybe, but, um, I'm kind of suspicious of that, uh, editorial.

00:18:02.440 Speaking of suspicion, and I'll get to Trump and his mugshot and all that, um, I'm not sure I want to, uh, support, uh, Vivek anymore.

00:18:14.180 And I have the same problem with Trump.

00:18:16.640 So I, I wouldn't move to Trump because I've got the same fucking problem.

00:18:20.060 And here's the problem.

00:18:20.880 Um, they're not defending themselves.

00:18:24.300 I feel like the burden's on, on their supporters.

00:18:28.100 Every fucking day I wake up and I see another person on social media say that he's a Soros puppet.

00:18:34.740 He's not.

00:18:36.120 He's in the WEF, so he loves them.

00:18:38.780 He's not.

00:18:40.280 I mean, just ridiculous fucking shit.

00:18:43.360 And I, like, you know, I dutifully, you know, try to correct them or whatever.

00:18:48.800 And it's just exhausting.

00:18:51.900 Because whatever, whatever level of brainwashing got to that part of the public, it's really working.

00:18:57.620 So every day there's something like, I've got these vague suspicions.

00:19:02.000 And it's usually because of one of those five or six things that he gets accused of.

00:19:06.400 I don't quite trust him.

00:19:07.700 And both he and Trump need to have a web page that says, I've been accused of this, it's bullshit, and here's why.

00:19:19.260 So that every fucking time I wake up, I don't have to explain in an essay why somebody is hallucinating.

00:19:27.560 I can just say, have you seen this link?

00:19:29.840 Now, why the fuck doesn't that already exist?

00:19:33.620 Are they even trying?

00:19:35.700 Do they understand that their biggest problem is that there are things unexplained that are easily explained, I assume?

00:19:43.820 Now, if a fake doesn't have explanations for these things, well, then, you know, I'm out.

00:19:50.040 I'm out.

00:19:51.400 Because they're easy to explain as far as I can tell.

00:19:54.460 Well, so, now, by the way, I could be completely wrong.

00:19:58.460 So let me say, it might exist.

00:20:00.700 But I don't, I haven't seen it.

00:20:02.680 Does it exist?

00:20:04.040 Is there any place on his page that says, I've been accused of this, of this, of this?

00:20:08.040 Here's why it's not true.

00:20:09.520 Or even an interview in which somebody said, all right, there's about six things you've been accused of.

00:20:15.420 You know, go.

00:20:17.540 Or, here's the thing I'm worried about.

00:20:20.480 So, Vivek is starting to give political answers instead of real ones.

00:20:25.700 Have you noticed that?

00:20:28.780 Vivek has started to give political answers.

00:20:31.100 Do you know what a political answer is?

00:20:33.660 Did you murder Bob?

00:20:36.060 Well, a lot of people have murders.

00:20:37.840 There's a lot of murders all over.

00:20:39.220 I don't know what you'd call a murder, but sometimes it's a homicide or not a murder.

00:20:42.980 Sometimes you can, seriously.

00:20:45.920 How about yes or no, and then give us your answer.

00:20:48.640 Yes or no, followed by context.

00:20:52.960 Context first is just politics.

00:20:55.700 Because, you know, it's trying to take you off the scent and everything.

00:20:59.220 You know, we like him because he was direct.

00:21:01.720 But I feel like he's becoming less direct every moment.

00:21:06.520 Right?

00:21:07.260 So, I don't know.

00:21:08.940 I think I'm not willing to support him under these conditions.

00:21:13.060 But, you know, I'll wait.

00:21:14.360 I'll see if maybe there's something that gets spun up.

00:21:17.500 I'm not going to change my support.

00:21:19.640 But at the moment, I'm unwilling to support under these conditions.

00:21:24.420 Because the candidate has to do a little work.

00:21:27.240 And we can't do it all.

00:21:29.400 He does a lot of work.

00:21:30.680 So, that's an unfair accusation.

00:21:33.040 He does a lot of work.

00:21:33.780 Well, yeah, there's no website powerful enough.

00:21:39.860 But it would make my life easier.

00:21:42.960 If I could just, you know, include the link and say, here we go.

00:21:47.460 Is Scott a Pence guy now?

00:21:49.440 No.

00:21:49.680 Oh, okay.

00:21:50.080 That's a good question.

00:21:51.580 Who would I support if I didn't support Vivek and I didn't support Trump?

00:22:00.200 I like both of them, by the way.

00:22:04.720 But I'm just, you know, we're just hypothesizing.

00:22:08.720 RFK Jr., I support him in terms of I want his voice to be fully considered.

00:22:14.500 I don't know that he has any chance of winning the nomination.

00:22:17.720 So, what would it mean to support him?

00:22:21.200 Exactly.

00:22:21.920 I don't know what that would mean exactly.

00:22:23.200 But, yeah, I mean, he's a, I consider him a strong voice whose policies maybe I'm not fully aligned with.

00:22:32.760 Yeah.

00:22:33.660 What's the matter with DeSantis?

00:22:37.120 Tell me from, I know what Democrats will say.

00:22:41.080 No, boring's not your, no, boring's not the right answer.

00:22:45.660 Aside from campaigning, tell me what's wrong with DeSantis.

00:22:49.940 Aside from, you know, excitement.

00:22:53.200 He's not Trump.

00:22:56.740 Now, you think DeSantis has no backbone.

00:23:01.480 How in the world would he come up with that?

00:23:04.320 No backbone, DeSantis?

00:23:07.660 All he's done and everything he's done in Florida is backbone stuff.

00:23:12.240 He's got more backbone than any governor.

00:23:15.560 Name a governor with more backbone.

00:23:17.920 I don't even know what you're talking about when you say that.

00:23:19.800 You think he's a wussy?

00:23:25.220 Are you serious?

00:23:27.980 All evidence is in the other direction.

00:23:30.260 All evidence.

00:23:30.900 Now, I would agree that he's not the strongest, you know, speaker, campaigner.

00:23:38.760 But would you throw away his effectiveness, which looks pretty good, because he wasn't exciting you?

00:23:49.300 Is that the choice he'd make?

00:23:51.180 Or are you just saying he can't win because he's not exciting and therefore...

00:23:54.060 I just wondered how you're thinking.

00:23:58.380 So thank you for that input.

00:24:03.140 Well, today's theme is our criminal government.

00:24:06.440 And it's pretty criminal at this point.

00:24:10.640 I think we should just stop kidding ourselves.

00:24:13.220 We don't have an actual functioning democratic republic situation at the moment.

00:24:20.000 Whatever is happening, to me, it looks like the winged monkeys have taken over the palace.

00:24:25.100 So I think we're seeing winged monkeys, zombie situation, not any kind of leadership thing.

00:24:30.380 And evidence number one, exhibit A for that thesis, is Trump's mugshot.

00:24:40.000 I'm guessing every one of you have seen the mugshot by now.

00:24:44.500 Right?

00:24:48.040 In case there's one person who hasn't...

00:24:50.440 You know, frankly, I don't think we can see it enough.

00:24:58.460 Just to answer that.

00:25:01.360 And...

00:25:01.960 One moment.

00:25:06.180 You know, what is less fun than waiting for somebody to find something on their phone?

00:25:09.860 Nothing.

00:25:11.340 But you've all seen it.

00:25:12.700 He's giving the Trump stare.

00:25:14.920 The I'm-gonna-come-for-you stare.

00:25:17.960 It's pretty good.

00:25:20.240 Do you wonder if he practiced that in the mirror?

00:25:25.000 I feel like he might have practiced it.

00:25:28.800 Did he nail it?

00:25:30.380 If he had to score him one to ten on mugshot, did he nail it?

00:25:37.840 Yeah.

00:25:38.900 Yeah, that was a ten.

00:25:41.080 That was a ten.

00:25:42.240 And then he rejoins Twitter, tweets his mugshot, you know, with his words on it, and connects it to his fundraising.

00:25:57.720 Probably the best counter-counter move you've ever seen.

00:26:03.780 The mugshot is an instant meme.

00:26:08.300 Everybody loved it.

00:26:09.560 It became popular.

00:26:10.740 It's so meme-able.

00:26:11.880 He knew that.

00:26:13.020 Do you think Trump didn't know he was creating the meme of memes that will be the single most popular meme in the history of human civilization?

00:26:24.560 You don't think he knew that?

00:26:27.260 Oh, he knew that.

00:26:28.620 He knew it, and he delivered.

00:26:32.820 Do you notice his hair?

00:26:33.960 I believe his hair is legitimately now white, right?

00:26:40.320 It looks like he's not orange anymore.

00:26:41.960 So it's not going to be fun to say, you know, white man bad.

00:26:49.120 You know, I was enjoying the orange theme for a while, but apparently we're off orange.

00:26:55.880 All right.

00:26:56.780 Well, so Trump played it as well as you can play that.

00:27:01.460 But I don't know that that moves the needle in terms of, you know, anybody but his supporters.

00:27:08.120 He's allegedly 215 pounds and 6 foot 3.

00:27:12.820 Do you think they weighed him?

00:27:14.900 Or do they ask him for his weight?

00:27:17.560 Does anybody know how that works in jail?

00:27:21.060 They ask.

00:27:22.120 They ask.

00:27:25.640 I suspect that that's what it was.

00:27:29.900 Yeah.

00:27:30.340 Apparently he has been suggested that he's been happier than that.

00:27:37.080 I'll just leave it at that.

00:27:39.000 They asked.

00:27:44.620 This is my favorite example of him not passing the fact check.

00:27:50.900 Imagine him standing in front of you.

00:27:53.980 So, Mr. Trump, I have to ask you this question.

00:28:00.340 What's your weight?

00:28:02.660 215.

00:28:08.180 What?

00:28:10.340 215.

00:28:13.080 250?

00:28:14.720 215.

00:28:16.800 215.

00:28:18.920 Yes.

00:28:22.080 All right.

00:28:22.880 Well, there's a thing called the 14th Amendment.

00:28:34.020 If you didn't know that, this says you can't run for federal office if you supported or gave aid or comfort to an insurrection or rebellion.

00:28:43.460 I wonder why they called January 6th an insurrection instead of what it obviously was, a protest that had violent elements.

00:28:54.520 Hmm.

00:28:54.700 I wonder why they're calling it an insurrection.

00:29:00.100 Notice they don't call it a rebellion.

00:29:03.440 Do you know why they don't call it a rebellion?

00:29:05.600 Because that would work just as well.

00:29:07.960 Rebellion.

00:29:10.080 Do you know why?

00:29:12.600 Because we like rebellions.

00:29:15.440 Rebellions are cool.

00:29:16.280 Our entire country is based on rebellion.

00:29:21.560 When we talk about people who are rebels, it's usually a compliment.

00:29:25.220 Is it not?

00:29:26.340 Yeah.

00:29:26.960 That artist is a rebel.

00:29:30.040 Right?

00:29:30.280 If you're not thinking of it in, you know, in Civil War terms, if you're thinking of outside of Civil War terms of a rebel.

00:29:38.160 But I like rebellions.

00:29:42.260 You know, a rebellion actually sounds kind of cool.

00:29:45.000 Insurrection sounds, ooh, ooh, sounds like you're not on my team now.

00:29:49.360 You're insurrection.

00:29:50.700 Rebellion, I want to sign up with the rebels instantly.

00:29:55.100 So, you know, Jonathan Turley is all over this.

00:29:59.860 And so obviously the game is up at this point.

00:30:04.340 So did you know that Trump hasn't been charged with insurrection?

00:30:09.160 That's right.

00:30:10.820 After all the investigations, insurrection was never demonstrated with evidence.

00:30:19.120 But it's not going to matter because I don't think that the Constitution requires that the law found you guilty of insurrection.

00:30:29.320 Do you see how corrupt this is?

00:30:32.040 Imagine that.

00:30:33.560 Now, I think I'm right about that, that you don't have to be legally found to be an insurrectionist.

00:30:38.160 I think it's just you were insurrection-y so you can't run?

00:30:42.300 Like, who decides?

00:30:43.820 Is it the court?

00:30:45.800 Who exactly decides that insurrection has been satisfied to the point?

00:30:50.640 And who would stop him?

00:30:51.420 If somebody puts their name in for the ballot, whose decision is it that you can't run?

00:30:59.440 Oh, is it the governor?

00:31:02.680 Does each governor say, oh, you're an insurrectionist, so I'll make sure you're not on the ballot in my state?

00:31:09.920 Who decides?

00:31:11.320 You know there's nobody that can make that decision, right?

00:31:14.100 You know, the Supreme Court?

00:31:17.200 No, I don't think so.

00:31:18.840 I mean, maybe they could, but that's not where you want to see it.

00:31:23.700 Yeah.

00:31:23.960 So, the level of fuckery that's involved here is, there is the worst part.

00:31:34.260 What percentage of the general public do you think understands what I just told you?

00:31:39.100 Specifically, that the Constitution bars you from running for a federal office if you were an insurrectionist.

00:31:45.960 And, two, that January 6th was a protest that the Democrats tried to make an insurrection for the purpose of using this constitutional little technicality to take somebody who won at least, you know, close to half of the votes, or more, depends who you're talking to.

00:32:11.160 How much of the public understands this?

00:32:13.660 Two percent?

00:32:16.480 I'm going to say two percent.

00:32:19.540 Yeah.

00:32:20.000 It's easy to imagine that if you hang out with other people who care about what you care about, it's easy to imagine everybody knows the same stuff.

00:32:28.720 They don't.

00:32:30.860 It can't be more than two percent of the public would understand this.

00:32:35.460 That's why it works.

00:32:36.720 It works because the news won't cover it.

00:32:39.720 Do you think CNN is explaining this to their audience every day?

00:32:42.560 All right, CNN audience, let me see if you understand this.

00:32:47.080 January 6th could be called several things, but if you call it an insurrection, you might get to trigger this part of the Constitution to keep somebody out of office for a reason that was clearly not anticipated in the Constitution.

00:33:02.000 The Constitution didn't say that asking for a recount or doubting the election or having a protest or even a protest that got violent.

00:33:13.800 None of those things should trigger the 14th Amendment.

00:33:17.140 But they're going to make a try.

00:33:20.640 They're going to make a run at it.

00:33:22.380 Is CNN telling their audience that?

00:33:24.820 No.

00:33:25.740 How would anybody know?

00:33:27.280 If it's not in the news, how would you know?

00:33:29.420 If you didn't follow Jonathan Turley, you probably wouldn't even know if you're on the right.

00:33:34.760 Would you?

00:33:35.180 If I didn't read his writing specifically, honestly, I wouldn't know this because I read all the news and I didn't see it in the regular news.

00:33:46.320 I saw one person who has a platform and he doesn't have the biggest platforms.

00:33:51.820 He gets published in a number of places.

00:33:56.340 Yeah.

00:33:56.740 Yeah, Dershowitz would be also on the same side, I'm sure.

00:33:59.680 But I don't know how big Dershowitz's audience is.

00:34:04.520 All right.

00:34:04.960 Well, that's the criminal activity that the zombie Democrats are putting together for Trump.

00:34:11.800 But what about Elon Musk?

00:34:13.560 This story is such a head shaker.

00:34:18.080 So the Department of Justice, I guess, is coming after SpaceX for not hiring immigrants.

00:34:29.680 If they hired immigrants, they would all go to jail because it's illegal.

00:34:34.840 So the government has law that says you can't hire immigrants for this particular business.

00:34:39.980 It's illegal.

00:34:41.060 You have to be a citizen.

00:34:43.540 That's the law.

00:34:45.640 But also, you can't discriminate.

00:34:49.820 So the government has put two incompatible laws on SpaceX and decided that they're going to pursue one of them that's in complete conflict with the other.

00:35:04.060 Now, somebody smart, who goes by the name of Compass Prime, said this, and give me a fact check on this if you know.

00:35:15.760 It said, quote, they'll try to get Elon on a process crime.

00:35:20.240 Going after SpaceX was so they can use FISA to collect every communication Musk makes two hops away.

00:35:28.960 Because it's not just who you talk to, but then maybe you can get to who you talk to, who you talk to.

00:35:35.260 And there are national security considerations with ITAR.

00:35:38.740 I guess that's the part that says you can only hire Americans for certain businesses, you know, if they're defense-related, I guess.

00:35:46.340 And that makes it FISA-eligible because their ITAR, I guess ITAR would have something with international.

00:35:54.160 Now, does that feel real?

00:35:57.920 Is this the right take?

00:35:59.680 Is this another one of those cases where no?

00:36:02.680 I see no's and yes's.

00:36:05.760 I don't think we know.

00:36:08.540 No.

00:36:09.480 I haven't seen a number of no's to this.

00:36:12.180 But a lot of yes's.

00:36:14.020 So here's what I ask.

00:36:15.320 Is it not a common Department of Justice FBI technique to use one kind of action to get access to communications?

00:36:27.400 And then the communications will suggest the actual crime that they had never known about.

00:36:32.120 Because you can always find something.

00:36:33.720 If it's a big enough entity, there's always something you can go after.

00:36:38.020 So this looks like a political act, does it not?

00:36:42.000 Is there anybody who thinks that this is a legitimate action?

00:36:47.740 I don't think so.

00:36:49.360 I believe there's nobody who sees this in detail.

00:36:52.920 Nobody would see this as actually legal, legitimate, non-criminal action.

00:36:58.300 It looks like a criminal action.

00:37:00.020 Now let me ask you this.

00:37:01.060 Let's go back to my theme that Biden is not in charge.

00:37:04.960 Do you think Biden, if he knew what was happening,

00:37:08.020 would have allowed Trump's mugshot to come out on the same day that Musk is attacked

00:37:13.720 in what looks like an obvious government action against him?

00:37:17.660 Same day?

00:37:19.140 Same day?

00:37:19.880 How do your minds not connect those?

00:37:21.900 Because they happen the same day.

00:37:24.020 To me, that's an obvious pattern.

00:37:25.480 Elon, one of the chances is the two strongest people that would be, let's say,

00:37:34.120 some kind of a bulwark against the Biden crime family running wild.

00:37:41.360 So Elon's in charge of free speech, right?

00:37:45.860 I mean, he's basically the only place you can get free speech anymore.

00:37:49.020 In my opinion, it's the only place.

00:37:51.320 Because you could go to other places that will let you publish whatever you want,

00:37:55.520 but nobody's going to read them, right?

00:37:57.660 You know, some little article from conservatives, nobody sees it.

00:38:02.320 But if it's on Twitter, people are going to see it.

00:38:04.340 So there's basically one free speech outlet,

00:38:08.400 and that's what they have to kill, along with Trump, in order to run free.

00:38:15.420 Do you think that Biden would have been so dumb after, you know, 50 years of politics,

00:38:21.580 if he were functioning, if he were in charge and functioning,

00:38:25.160 do you think he would have let those things drop at the same time?

00:38:28.960 No.

00:38:29.700 That's why it looks like winged monkeys.

00:38:32.220 It looks like the zombies are just doing what zombies do,

00:38:35.100 because if it were coordinated from the top,

00:38:38.460 in other words, if he had an actual leader,

00:38:40.880 it wouldn't look like this.

00:38:42.260 I don't think so.

00:38:45.460 And to me, it looks like chaos.

00:38:47.260 It looks like no leadership whatsoever.

00:38:51.560 All right.

00:38:55.880 So, Mark Meadows was targeted.

00:38:59.120 So he's...

00:38:59.600 Not only did Georgia indict nine of Trump's lawyers,

00:39:06.280 which to me is proof that it's a political action.

00:39:10.420 I mean, I don't think it could be any more obvious.

00:39:14.160 But again, how many of the general public would assume that it's obviously political,

00:39:20.460 or would they assume they finally got that Trump guy and all of his criminal accomplices?

00:39:26.320 Don't you think that's what the entire left thinks?

00:39:29.460 That it was totally legitimate?

00:39:31.620 You know, I don't see anything wrong here.

00:39:33.180 They must have been trying to overthrow the government with their insurrection.

00:39:35.760 And that wanting to find votes, suddenly that's illegal to use the word find,

00:39:44.060 because it could be interpreted as something stupid, which they did.

00:39:48.880 All right.

00:39:49.500 So Mark Meadows being targeted.

00:39:52.220 So we've got Mark Meadows, nine lawyers, Trump, Elon Musk.

00:39:59.120 Have I mentioned I was canceled recently?

00:40:00.840 But it's not part of this story.

00:40:06.080 This is really obvious.

00:40:08.560 This is really, really obvious that whatever norms we used to operate under,

00:40:15.060 we're not operating anymore.

00:40:16.800 So here's my take.

00:40:19.040 No masks, no mandatory vaccinations,

00:40:22.400 no pandemic mandates,

00:40:24.620 no 14th Amendment bullshit,

00:40:27.400 and no fake prosecutions.

00:40:36.340 I'm not going to say, you know,

00:40:38.080 something specific will happen if those lines are crossed.

00:40:41.660 Here's the only thing I'm going to say.

00:40:44.020 If those lines are crossed, any one of them,

00:40:47.360 we cannot predict the outcome.

00:40:50.280 That's all I'm going to say.

00:40:51.420 I'm just going to say,

00:40:53.520 if you want to get into completely unpredictable territory,

00:40:57.200 here's the path.

00:41:00.360 Give us a mask mandate,

00:41:02.320 and you can no longer predict the next two weeks.

00:41:07.640 Give us mandatory vaccinations.

00:41:10.960 You cannot predict the next two weeks.

00:41:14.280 Give us mandates where we're going to stay home

00:41:16.620 and keep our kids on Zoom.

00:41:18.000 You cannot predict the next two weeks.

00:41:23.240 Give us the 14th Amendment and make it stick

00:41:25.900 and keep somebody off the ballot on bullshit.

00:41:29.800 You can't predict the next two weeks.

00:41:34.040 Put Trump in jail for one day.

00:41:37.940 You can't predict the next 24 hours.

00:41:40.320 So, well, violence is never, you know,

00:41:45.940 I would never recommend violence.

00:41:49.200 I will predict that the norms will drop.

00:41:56.600 If you want to drop all the norms,

00:41:59.140 I cannot tell you what will happen.

00:42:01.020 I can't help you.

00:42:02.700 I can't help you.

00:42:04.560 You just have to know where you're going, right?

00:42:07.280 You have to know what too far looks like.

00:42:10.880 This is too far.

00:42:12.740 No masks, no mandatory vaccinations,

00:42:15.800 no mandates,

00:42:17.820 no 14th Amendment bullshit,

00:42:21.000 no political prosecutions.

00:42:22.880 If they spend a day in jail,

00:42:24.680 even one of Trump's lawyers,

00:42:26.880 Mark Meadows,

00:42:28.440 Trump,

00:42:29.400 and certainly Musk,

00:42:31.080 if they spend one day in jail,

00:42:33.580 any one of them,

00:42:34.340 I will not be able to predict

00:42:36.600 the next two weeks,

00:42:38.160 but even maybe the next 24 hours

00:42:39.880 if it's Trump.

00:42:42.480 Now,

00:42:43.200 that's not a threat.

00:42:45.200 I don't want that to sound like a threat.

00:42:47.820 I feel like good fences make good neighbors.

00:42:50.820 You know what I mean?

00:42:52.160 Good fences make good neighbors.

00:42:54.600 Here's the fence.

00:42:56.080 If you don't know where the fence is,

00:42:57.460 you're just going to keep walking.

00:42:59.120 And that's sort of on you, right?

00:43:00.940 That would be on us.

00:43:01.960 It would be my fault

00:43:04.300 if I were not clear

00:43:06.420 where the norms fall.

00:43:09.160 All right?

00:43:09.380 If you cross any of these lines,

00:43:11.780 everything's unpredictable.

00:43:14.800 If you want to live in a country

00:43:16.500 where nothing's predictable tomorrow,

00:43:19.060 here's how to get it.

00:43:21.360 Here's how you get it.

00:43:23.280 And let me say again,

00:43:24.640 the first big corporation,

00:43:27.020 I think Lionsgate was a special case,

00:43:29.160 so I wouldn't make a big deal about that.

00:43:31.040 But the first real,

00:43:32.940 the real corporation

00:43:34.120 that does a mask mandate,

00:43:36.600 even if there are 10 of them

00:43:37.960 at the same time,

00:43:39.660 just pick the first one alphabetically.

00:43:42.560 Just pick one.

00:43:43.640 You have to actually drive it into business

00:43:45.340 and then move on to the next one.

00:43:47.680 And just drive companies out of business

00:43:49.380 until it just can't be done.

00:43:51.020 Because right now,

00:43:51.640 the government is using the corporations

00:43:53.600 as their army to control you.

00:43:56.900 All right?

00:43:57.120 They can control the corporations easily

00:43:58.980 because they're easy to threaten.

00:44:00.460 The government can, you know,

00:44:01.520 fuck with them too many ways.

00:44:02.940 So they're using corporations

00:44:05.260 to control the population

00:44:07.440 in a variety of ways.

00:44:10.520 Isn't that classic fascism,

00:44:12.540 or am I wrong about that?

00:44:13.960 I never know what fascism is,

00:44:16.000 because everybody just uses it like,

00:44:18.060 you know,

00:44:18.500 like it's just a generic word.

00:44:19.880 But wouldn't it be fascism

00:44:21.960 for the government to,

00:44:25.360 and the corporations

00:44:26.240 to effectively collude,

00:44:27.920 but really it's the government,

00:44:29.640 to force citizens

00:44:32.240 into a slavery situation?

00:44:36.860 That's the most classic case, isn't it?

00:44:39.400 Wouldn't you call that

00:44:40.360 the most perfect case?

00:44:42.500 Because we like to throw the word around

00:44:44.280 when everybody,

00:44:45.420 anytime we don't like a leader.

00:44:47.180 But I think that's right on the definition,

00:44:51.100 if I'm correct.

00:44:52.860 I think so.

00:44:57.220 Which is amazing.

00:44:58.900 You know,

00:44:59.100 we always talk about

00:45:00.140 the corporations bow to them,

00:45:02.220 and, you know,

00:45:02.540 the corporations do what they want.

00:45:04.000 But we're not really framing that right.

00:45:05.800 Offending.com.

00:45:07.200 Alexa, quit.

00:45:08.240 I don't worry about that.

00:45:13.560 My digital device,

00:45:14.880 listening to everything I say

00:45:16.020 and reporting it to Jeff Bezos.

00:45:18.340 Maybe that's why

00:45:19.220 I keep getting canceled.

00:45:21.760 Jeff is on the other end of that.

00:45:24.520 I just see Jeff,

00:45:25.660 like, you know,

00:45:26.340 Jeff Bezos with his own,

00:45:27.880 like,

00:45:28.380 he's got the same device.

00:45:30.200 And when I'm talking,

00:45:31.260 he's just listening to it.

00:45:32.240 It's like,

00:45:32.500 oh, man.

00:45:33.820 This guy.

00:45:35.020 Oh, this guy.

00:45:36.360 I don't know.

00:45:36.760 That's not happening,

00:45:37.560 but it feels like it.

00:45:38.260 All right.

00:45:41.800 Trump said

00:45:42.540 climate change is a hoax,

00:45:44.000 and Vivek fixed that

00:45:45.140 by saying

00:45:45.540 climate change agenda

00:45:46.600 is a hoax.

00:45:48.040 How many people on the left

00:45:49.460 are going to understand

00:45:50.480 when he says agenda?

00:45:52.460 Do you think they're going to say,

00:45:53.380 oh, I get what you're saying.

00:45:54.840 You're not questioning science.

00:45:56.820 You're saying that

00:45:57.540 all the funding

00:45:58.620 and stuff like that

00:45:59.480 is illegitimate.

00:46:00.240 Ah, we get it now.

00:46:01.760 All right.

00:46:02.100 So that's totally not like

00:46:03.340 being a science denier.

00:46:04.680 So there's nobody

00:46:08.240 on the left

00:46:08.760 who understands

00:46:09.480 that the models

00:46:10.320 are not science.

00:46:14.760 You know,

00:46:15.440 one of the most

00:46:16.320 interesting things

00:46:17.260 is I keep seeing tweets

00:46:19.060 that show some kind

00:46:20.400 of graphic

00:46:20.880 of the planet

00:46:22.000 heating up

00:46:22.700 and reaching highs

00:46:23.620 it has never reached before.

00:46:25.680 Now, I feel like

00:46:26.720 that is happening.

00:46:28.320 I feel like

00:46:29.140 there are certainly

00:46:29.660 places that are

00:46:30.560 reaching highs

00:46:31.160 we haven't seen

00:46:31.860 at least since

00:46:32.760 we started recording stuff.

00:46:33.920 that feels like

00:46:35.060 it's happening.

00:46:36.020 But here's the thing

00:46:36.900 I don't know.

00:46:38.780 Was it always happening?

00:46:41.400 Has there always been

00:46:42.320 someplace that broke

00:46:43.400 a record

00:46:43.800 that's never been broken?

00:46:46.540 Like,

00:46:47.080 I feel like

00:46:47.700 my entire life,

00:46:49.660 all right,

00:46:49.900 so in my

00:46:50.880 66 years of life,

00:46:53.860 my memory is

00:46:54.980 that from,

00:46:55.720 let's say,

00:46:56.140 eight years old,

00:46:58.060 you know,

00:46:58.240 so we're going back,

00:46:59.040 you know,

00:46:59.280 close to 60 years,

00:47:01.280 from eight years old

00:47:02.400 when I'd watched

00:47:02.960 television,

00:47:03.920 every single day

00:47:05.540 a weatherman

00:47:06.460 would tell me

00:47:06.920 a new record

00:47:07.460 had been hit.

00:47:08.680 Sometimes cold,

00:47:09.840 sometimes hot,

00:47:10.740 but every day.

00:47:12.780 And now every day

00:47:13.580 I see that a record

00:47:14.700 has been broken,

00:47:16.000 except it's reported

00:47:17.040 that I'm going to die.

00:47:21.040 Well,

00:47:21.340 what am I supposed

00:47:21.900 to believe?

00:47:22.960 You know,

00:47:23.220 there's Steve Malloy

00:47:24.760 on Twitter.

00:47:26.180 I hope I got

00:47:26.860 his name right.

00:47:27.600 I think he's the one

00:47:28.640 who most often

00:47:29.540 I see the

00:47:30.240 counterfactual argument

00:47:32.040 that the temperature

00:47:33.820 hasn't changed

00:47:34.580 in years.

00:47:36.660 And you know,

00:47:37.400 there's a thing

00:47:37.980 where if you look

00:47:39.560 at the thermostats

00:47:40.800 on the ground

00:47:41.460 and the ones

00:47:42.220 that are floating

00:47:42.760 in the water,

00:47:44.300 you get one answer.

00:47:46.500 But if you use

00:47:47.440 the satellites,

00:47:48.740 which can measure

00:47:49.700 the atmospheric temperature,

00:47:50.980 I guess,

00:47:51.580 you get a different answer.

00:47:53.380 So you have this weird

00:47:54.280 situation where

00:47:55.140 the water temperature

00:47:56.260 could be,

00:47:57.180 you know,

00:47:57.420 maybe doing one thing,

00:47:58.920 land temperatures

00:47:59.760 doing another,

00:48:01.440 and the air

00:48:02.100 doing a third thing.

00:48:03.960 So there are basically

00:48:04.760 three different temperatures

00:48:06.140 which are,

00:48:07.880 you know,

00:48:08.260 somehow trading

00:48:09.340 energy around.

00:48:10.940 So given that

00:48:11.900 the energy,

00:48:13.220 I guess it does

00:48:14.220 dissipate,

00:48:14.720 doesn't it?

00:48:15.700 The energy

00:48:16.460 from the sun,

00:48:17.700 it does radiate

00:48:19.700 back into space,

00:48:20.840 right?

00:48:21.480 So we're losing energy,

00:48:23.100 right?

00:48:23.680 Yeah.

00:48:24.340 So energy's coming in,

00:48:26.720 but it's also

00:48:27.320 going out.

00:48:28.420 And I was going

00:48:29.880 to make a point

00:48:30.320 about that,

00:48:30.780 but I don't remember.

00:48:32.080 So I'm just going

00:48:32.680 to babble on

00:48:33.320 like you don't notice

00:48:34.120 that I started a point

00:48:35.100 and didn't even finish it.

00:48:37.300 You won't even notice.

00:48:38.560 I'll just talk fast.

00:48:40.440 All right.

00:48:42.780 So we'll see

00:48:45.240 if Vivek's

00:48:46.180 better branding

00:48:47.680 on climate change

00:48:48.920 agenda

00:48:49.580 works or not.

00:48:52.700 Here's my big take

00:48:54.680 of every problem

00:48:55.620 we're seeing.

00:48:56.260 I'll just read

00:49:00.100 my tweet

00:49:00.660 because I spent

00:49:02.000 time writing it

00:49:02.780 just right.

00:49:04.580 I tweeted that

00:49:05.220 most of our

00:49:05.820 national problems

00:49:06.780 are because

00:49:07.360 weak minds

00:49:08.420 have been brainwashed

00:49:10.100 so hard

00:49:11.000 that they don't

00:49:12.080 know their gender,

00:49:13.440 can't distinguish

00:49:14.280 victims from oppressors,

00:49:16.520 the past from the present,

00:49:18.240 or anything else

00:49:19.420 of substance.

00:49:21.120 And that's not

00:49:22.160 because the people

00:49:22.760 are stupid.

00:49:24.640 You know,

00:49:24.880 if you think

00:49:25.340 that's where

00:49:25.700 I'm going,

00:49:26.340 absolutely not.

00:49:27.740 They're not any

00:49:28.420 dumber than

00:49:28.840 they ever were.

00:49:30.220 Right?

00:49:30.400 People are all

00:49:31.160 over the map,

00:49:31.840 but we didn't

00:49:32.540 get dumber.

00:49:33.560 What happened

00:49:34.200 was the tools

00:49:34.960 of mass brainwashing

00:49:36.200 got really good

00:49:38.120 in the last five years.

00:49:40.260 So here's

00:49:41.160 the formula

00:49:42.620 formula for persuasion.

00:49:44.480 It goes like this.

00:49:46.200 Persuasion skill

00:49:47.080 times reach.

00:49:50.840 That's how much

00:49:51.540 persuasion power you have.

00:49:52.780 Because if you're

00:49:53.360 real persuasive

00:49:54.120 but you never leave

00:49:55.060 your room

00:49:55.480 and never talk

00:49:56.540 to anybody,

00:49:57.200 you have no influence.

00:49:58.620 If you have a big

00:49:59.520 platform where

00:50:00.280 millions of people

00:50:01.120 can see what you're

00:50:01.840 saying,

00:50:02.720 you get a little

00:50:03.440 influence just by

00:50:04.360 people seeing it.

00:50:05.640 But if you're not

00:50:07.060 good at it,

00:50:08.340 you're not sending

00:50:09.280 powerful messages.

00:50:10.360 So it's just a lot

00:50:11.480 of people hear you.

00:50:12.460 Which is, you know,

00:50:13.400 persuasive.

00:50:14.700 But there's a whole

00:50:16.260 different level

00:50:17.220 where you use

00:50:19.240 science to test

00:50:21.460 which messages

00:50:22.180 are working

00:50:22.820 and then you have

00:50:24.320 access to the

00:50:25.040 entire planet

00:50:26.080 and every mind

00:50:27.220 on the planet

00:50:27.840 through the social

00:50:28.640 networks.

00:50:30.220 We've never had

00:50:31.340 this situation

00:50:32.040 before.

00:50:33.680 So the

00:50:34.160 brainwashers,

00:50:36.400 and that's what

00:50:37.160 they are,

00:50:37.600 the brainwashers,

00:50:38.560 the brainwashers

00:50:39.700 now have a tool

00:50:40.600 that can just

00:50:41.740 cancel your brain.

00:50:44.240 Before,

00:50:45.040 you would see

00:50:45.520 messages and you'd

00:50:46.460 say, oh,

00:50:46.820 that looks like BS.

00:50:48.540 You know,

00:50:48.900 that's just my team

00:50:50.160 saying stuff.

00:50:51.040 I know that they

00:50:51.820 don't mean it.

00:50:52.840 You know,

00:50:53.380 and you'd say to

00:50:54.120 yourself, I don't

00:50:54.860 know what's real,

00:50:55.620 what's not.

00:50:56.120 And then you'd

00:50:56.800 have a little bit

00:50:57.600 of ability to

00:50:59.740 analyze what the

00:51:00.920 message is and

00:51:02.260 then make up

00:51:03.020 something like an

00:51:03.820 independent opinion.

00:51:05.080 But that's when

00:51:05.920 brainwashing was

00:51:06.840 not advanced.

00:51:07.660 The current

00:51:09.140 level of

00:51:09.660 brainwashing is

00:51:10.580 so good that

00:51:12.120 they can convince

00:51:13.260 half the country

00:51:15.460 that a president

00:51:16.860 of the United

00:51:17.400 States recommended

00:51:18.400 drinking bleach or

00:51:20.320 some kind of

00:51:21.120 liquid disinfectant.

00:51:23.300 Half of the

00:51:23.780 country thinks that

00:51:24.440 actually happened.

00:51:26.100 Half of the

00:51:26.720 country thinks

00:51:27.360 January 6th was

00:51:29.360 an armed

00:51:31.060 insurrection,

00:51:32.300 whereas Bill

00:51:32.880 Maher, who is

00:51:33.520 deeply brainwashed,

00:51:34.620 and there's no

00:51:35.080 other way to say

00:51:35.600 that, he's just

00:51:36.000 brainwashed.

00:51:36.860 And that's not

00:51:37.600 an insult, by

00:51:38.240 the way.

00:51:39.000 If you think

00:51:39.840 that's an insult

00:51:40.540 to Bill Maher,

00:51:41.560 absolutely not.

00:51:42.960 The brainwashers

00:51:43.920 are so good that

00:51:45.460 even a nimble,

00:51:46.880 well-informed

00:51:47.500 mind can be

00:51:48.420 completely corrupted

00:51:49.300 by it.

00:51:50.140 He actually

00:51:50.760 believes there

00:51:51.760 was not a

00:51:52.540 peaceful transfer

00:51:53.540 of power or

00:51:54.760 that there was

00:51:55.280 a risk that

00:51:56.460 there wouldn't

00:51:56.900 be.

00:51:59.240 Here's how you

00:51:59.940 know that's

00:52:00.340 brainwashing.

00:52:01.540 Explain that to

00:52:02.240 me.

00:52:03.360 So explain how

00:52:04.100 the non-peaceful

00:52:06.780 transfer of

00:52:07.400 power was

00:52:07.880 going to

00:52:08.140 happen in

00:52:08.740 your hallucination.

00:52:10.460 What'd that

00:52:10.800 look like?

00:52:11.860 Because so

00:52:12.480 far, nobody

00:52:13.020 in the story

00:52:13.500 had a gun.

00:52:15.220 Well, I'm

00:52:16.020 sorry.

00:52:16.660 Let me get

00:52:18.400 Dale for a

00:52:18.940 moment.

00:52:20.860 Hold on.

00:52:23.640 Scott, you

00:52:24.560 forgot about

00:52:25.080 those few

00:52:25.800 incidents of

00:52:26.480 violence.

00:52:28.260 Yeah, I

00:52:28.760 know, I

00:52:29.300 know.

00:52:30.040 But January

00:52:30.540 6th mostly was

00:52:31.480 a protest.

00:52:32.420 But what

00:52:32.700 about the few

00:52:33.180 people?

00:52:33.700 What about

00:52:34.000 the people

00:52:34.300 who died?

00:52:35.540 Yeah, I

00:52:35.800 know, I

00:52:36.140 know.

00:52:36.580 There was

00:52:37.000 some violence.

00:52:37.940 Everybody

00:52:38.200 knows there

00:52:38.600 was some

00:52:38.820 violence.

00:52:39.700 But the

00:52:40.080 general nature

00:52:41.000 of it was

00:52:42.140 an unarmed

00:52:42.800 protest.

00:52:43.520 But what

00:52:43.800 about the

00:52:44.140 violence?

00:52:44.660 What about

00:52:44.920 the violence?

00:52:45.280 What about

00:52:45.780 the violence?

00:52:46.260 All right.

00:52:51.000 So I just

00:52:51.660 wanted you to

00:52:52.140 know that

00:52:52.440 there's a

00:52:52.780 counter-argument

00:52:53.520 because I

00:52:54.460 don't want to

00:52:54.820 seem biased.

00:52:56.300 I want to

00:52:56.720 show you both

00:52:57.240 sides of the

00:52:57.960 issue.

00:52:58.360 half of

00:53:02.360 the country

00:53:02.820 like Dale

00:53:04.580 actually

00:53:06.080 believed there

00:53:06.640 was something

00:53:07.120 like an

00:53:08.740 actual risk

00:53:09.760 that at

00:53:11.160 any moment

00:53:11.660 now there

00:53:12.780 would not

00:53:13.240 be a peaceful

00:53:13.960 transfer of

00:53:14.760 power.

00:53:16.360 How?

00:53:17.940 You could

00:53:18.660 just leave all

00:53:19.280 the protesters

00:53:19.880 in the

00:53:20.260 Capitol forever

00:53:21.060 and the

00:53:23.300 Congress would

00:53:23.920 have just

00:53:24.160 found another

00:53:24.760 building.

00:53:25.140 they would

00:53:26.260 have certified

00:53:26.860 the election.

00:53:28.640 If there

00:53:29.560 was an

00:53:29.940 alternate

00:53:30.320 group of

00:53:31.780 electors,

00:53:32.780 let's say

00:53:33.300 there were.

00:53:34.240 Let's say

00:53:34.640 an alternate

00:53:35.100 group of

00:53:35.660 electors

00:53:36.240 competed for

00:53:37.920 it and

00:53:38.120 said,

00:53:38.360 no,

00:53:38.540 we're the

00:53:38.820 real ones.

00:53:39.780 We're the

00:53:40.460 real ones.

00:53:41.320 What happens

00:53:41.940 next?

00:53:43.040 Is the

00:53:43.540 next thing

00:53:43.980 that happens

00:53:44.440 is that the

00:53:45.220 fake electors,

00:53:46.240 so-called,

00:53:47.460 and the

00:53:47.780 real electors,

00:53:48.960 do they then

00:53:49.620 pull out their

00:53:50.280 weapons and

00:53:51.780 then it's a

00:53:52.220 gunfight?

00:53:53.040 And then the

00:53:53.520 last one

00:53:53.980 living,

00:53:55.140 gets to

00:53:55.780 choose the

00:53:56.280 president?

00:53:57.400 Is that

00:53:57.900 Bill Maher's

00:53:58.520 fucking theory?

00:54:00.040 Is that

00:54:00.600 as soon as

00:54:01.300 the paperwork

00:54:02.780 was done,

00:54:03.540 we'd start

00:54:03.920 shooting each

00:54:04.620 other?

00:54:05.440 What the

00:54:06.100 fuck are

00:54:06.980 they thinking?

00:54:07.940 These are

00:54:08.400 pure,

00:54:09.100 brainwashed,

00:54:10.540 brainwashed,

00:54:12.440 ridiculous

00:54:13.300 things to

00:54:14.100 believe.

00:54:15.040 The worst

00:54:15.700 case scenario

00:54:16.440 is that the

00:54:17.080 Supreme Court

00:54:17.740 would have

00:54:18.040 looked at

00:54:18.420 the fake

00:54:19.360 electors,

00:54:20.380 they would

00:54:20.760 have looked

00:54:21.020 at the

00:54:21.340 real ones,

00:54:22.320 and they

00:54:22.760 would have

00:54:22.960 said,

00:54:23.360 well,

00:54:23.560 one of

00:54:23.820 these is

00:54:24.120 real and

00:54:24.440 the other

00:54:24.660 one isn't.

00:54:25.140 Or they

00:54:26.120 would have

00:54:26.360 said,

00:54:27.000 check the

00:54:27.760 election to

00:54:28.880 make sure.

00:54:29.360 They would have

00:54:29.660 said something

00:54:30.000 like that.

00:54:30.880 But at which

00:54:31.440 point did the

00:54:32.080 guns come

00:54:32.620 out?

00:54:33.680 Where's the

00:54:34.320 violent part

00:54:35.160 of the

00:54:36.880 transfer of

00:54:37.480 power?

00:54:38.280 There was

00:54:38.800 never even

00:54:39.700 the slightest

00:54:40.420 risk that

00:54:42.360 there would

00:54:42.700 be a

00:54:43.520 stoppage of

00:54:44.580 a transfer of

00:54:45.520 power because

00:54:46.860 of violence.

00:54:48.160 Because you

00:54:49.100 could have

00:54:49.700 actually blown

00:54:50.760 up the

00:54:51.160 Capitol

00:54:51.500 building.

00:54:51.960 that didn't

00:54:53.240 happen.

00:54:54.180 But the

00:54:55.400 transfer of

00:54:56.060 power would

00:54:56.580 have still

00:54:56.880 happened.

00:54:58.540 Just the

00:54:59.140 way it

00:54:59.340 always does.

00:55:00.260 We would

00:55:00.780 have argued

00:55:01.200 about it.

00:55:01.820 The Supreme

00:55:02.320 Court might

00:55:02.880 get involved.

00:55:03.940 It would

00:55:04.260 make a

00:55:04.600 decision and

00:55:05.420 everybody would

00:55:06.000 say, well,

00:55:06.680 damn it, I

00:55:07.620 wish it had

00:55:07.940 gone the

00:55:08.240 other way.

00:55:09.960 Bush v.

00:55:11.340 Gore.

00:55:12.740 Bush v.

00:55:13.500 Gore.

00:55:14.940 Wasn't that

00:55:15.640 one of those

00:55:16.560 violent insurrections

00:55:17.780 because people

00:55:18.740 didn't like

00:55:19.260 it and

00:55:19.640 talked about

00:55:20.100 it?

00:55:21.360 What about

00:55:22.120 believing that

00:55:23.100 the President

00:55:23.660 of the United

00:55:24.140 States saw

00:55:25.820 a Nazi

00:55:27.340 march with

00:55:29.020 tiki torches

00:55:29.820 and decided

00:55:31.020 that in

00:55:31.580 public, after

00:55:32.960 thinking about

00:55:33.760 it, that he

00:55:34.560 would label

00:55:34.960 them as fine

00:55:35.640 people?

00:55:36.500 Of course, that

00:55:37.160 was all a

00:55:38.060 hoax and a

00:55:38.620 brainwashing

00:55:39.180 thing.

00:55:39.800 He didn't.

00:55:40.800 I don't have

00:55:41.320 to go through

00:55:41.700 that because

00:55:42.080 you all know

00:55:42.420 the story.

00:55:43.480 But think

00:55:44.480 about the

00:55:44.900 things that

00:55:45.420 people have

00:55:45.840 been brainwashed

00:55:46.540 into believing

00:55:47.160 in the last

00:55:47.700 few years.

00:55:49.560 It's just a

00:55:50.360 brainwashing

00:55:50.840 problem.

00:55:51.660 We've never

00:55:52.140 had brainwashing

00:55:53.300 technology that

00:55:56.440 was this

00:55:56.860 bulletproof.

00:55:58.020 They can

00:55:58.720 actually make

00:56:00.180 their side

00:56:00.880 believe anything.

00:56:02.900 Anything.

00:56:04.560 And I don't

00:56:05.340 think that the

00:56:05.860 right is exempt,

00:56:07.260 by the way.

00:56:09.260 If you're

00:56:10.040 thinking this

00:56:10.500 is like, oh,

00:56:11.560 all those

00:56:12.160 weak-brained

00:56:12.980 Democrats.

00:56:14.300 No, that's

00:56:15.640 not what I'm

00:56:16.140 saying.

00:56:16.420 Because, you

00:56:17.500 know, there

00:56:17.780 are weak

00:56:18.380 minds everywhere.

00:56:19.440 That's not

00:56:20.100 limited to one

00:56:21.080 side.

00:56:22.040 But the

00:56:22.680 weak minds

00:56:23.220 are completely

00:56:23.960 brainwashed.

00:56:25.480 And there

00:56:26.140 are only a

00:56:26.720 few people

00:56:27.240 who even

00:56:28.100 have the

00:56:28.440 capability

00:56:29.040 of avoiding

00:56:30.360 it.

00:56:31.780 In order to

00:56:32.660 avoid the

00:56:33.160 brainwashing,

00:56:33.860 what would

00:56:34.160 you have to

00:56:34.680 do and what

00:56:35.380 would you

00:56:35.660 have to be?

00:56:38.360 Well, let

00:56:39.200 me tell you.

00:56:40.080 At minimum,

00:56:41.680 you'd have to

00:56:42.280 be very

00:56:42.960 skilled at

00:56:44.020 comparing things.

00:56:45.200 and knowing

00:56:46.760 what is likely

00:56:48.480 bullshit and

00:56:49.520 what is not.

00:56:50.540 I would argue

00:56:51.440 that my

00:56:52.160 audience is

00:56:52.900 the least

00:56:53.600 susceptible to

00:56:55.140 brainwashing

00:56:55.800 because they're

00:56:57.080 the most

00:56:57.460 trained specifically

00:56:59.320 on avoiding it.

00:57:00.800 And it's

00:57:01.220 actually a

00:57:01.740 skill.

00:57:03.200 Avoiding

00:57:03.680 brainwashing is

00:57:04.780 a skill.

00:57:06.180 Let me

00:57:06.560 increase all

00:57:07.560 of your

00:57:07.820 skills.

00:57:08.040 If anybody's

00:57:08.560 new, let's

00:57:09.760 say there's

00:57:10.080 somebody here

00:57:10.520 the first

00:57:10.940 day.

00:57:11.180 Let me

00:57:12.340 tell you

00:57:12.680 something that

00:57:13.160 would be

00:57:13.360 like the

00:57:13.700 beginning of

00:57:14.300 your journey.

00:57:16.280 No news

00:57:17.100 about public

00:57:17.780 figures is

00:57:18.460 real.

00:57:20.800 Now, that

00:57:21.520 takes some

00:57:21.920 development to

00:57:22.860 make that

00:57:23.720 case.

00:57:24.580 But although

00:57:25.360 the thing you

00:57:26.020 saw might be

00:57:26.640 real, there's

00:57:28.160 a thing called

00:57:28.720 a root bar.

00:57:30.200 Right?

00:57:31.040 Now, you all

00:57:31.740 know what a

00:57:32.080 root bar is

00:57:32.700 because I've

00:57:33.200 explained it so

00:57:33.820 many times.

00:57:34.480 It's when you

00:57:34.980 can use a

00:57:35.500 real video, but

00:57:37.120 if you cut out

00:57:37.800 just a little

00:57:38.320 piece of it on

00:57:39.180 either end, it

00:57:40.720 doesn't just

00:57:41.680 confuse the

00:57:42.880 video, it

00:57:44.080 reverses its

00:57:44.920 meaning 100%.

00:57:46.000 Now, unless

00:57:47.880 you see several

00:57:48.680 examples of

00:57:49.520 it, like the

00:57:51.060 Covington kids

00:57:51.940 and fine

00:57:52.980 people and

00:57:53.900 the bleach

00:57:54.460 oaks, unless

00:57:55.360 you've seen

00:57:55.820 several examples

00:57:56.660 where it's

00:57:57.140 done exactly

00:57:57.880 that way, you

00:57:59.040 don't really

00:57:59.540 think that's

00:58:00.000 real.

00:58:01.280 Right?

00:58:01.780 But once I

00:58:02.560 teach you, oh

00:58:03.540 yeah, all news

00:58:04.580 about public

00:58:05.180 figures is a

00:58:06.500 root bar.

00:58:07.420 They leave

00:58:07.820 out the

00:58:08.120 context and

00:58:08.880 everything you

00:58:09.480 think about it

00:58:10.040 would be

00:58:10.320 different.

00:58:10.720 If you

00:58:11.000 knew the

00:58:11.260 context.

00:58:12.340 So let's

00:58:12.960 say you've

00:58:13.220 seen a bunch

00:58:13.620 of examples.

00:58:14.240 That would

00:58:14.440 give you

00:58:14.800 a little bit

00:58:16.120 of protection

00:58:16.640 because the

00:58:17.920 next story

00:58:18.480 you see, your

00:58:19.900 brain has at

00:58:20.700 least a chance

00:58:21.340 of saying,

00:58:21.760 whoa, whoa,

00:58:22.060 whoa, that's

00:58:23.020 one of those.

00:58:24.760 It's a story

00:58:25.540 where something's

00:58:26.160 out of context.

00:58:27.480 Do you know

00:58:27.780 the story about

00:58:28.520 Vivek and

00:58:29.580 Soros?

00:58:33.500 Right?

00:58:34.260 You've all

00:58:34.640 heard there's

00:58:35.020 something about

00:58:35.520 Vivek and

00:58:36.180 Soros and

00:58:36.700 you're a little

00:58:37.000 suspicious about

00:58:37.860 it?

00:58:38.080 Have I

00:58:39.600 mentioned that

00:58:40.140 all news

00:58:40.720 about public

00:58:41.280 figures is

00:58:41.840 fake?

00:58:43.480 Do you

00:58:43.800 think you

00:58:44.100 know the

00:58:44.400 context of

00:58:44.960 that story?

00:58:46.000 Of course

00:58:46.400 not.

00:58:47.140 The only

00:58:47.860 reason it's

00:58:48.440 still a story

00:58:49.040 is because

00:58:49.520 people don't

00:58:50.020 know the

00:58:50.320 context.

00:58:51.360 The moment

00:58:52.080 you knew the

00:58:52.620 context, it

00:58:53.220 would go

00:58:53.480 away, but

00:58:54.220 you don't.

00:58:55.240 And that's

00:58:58.020 why I'm

00:58:58.320 mad at

00:58:58.740 Vivek for

00:59:00.140 not putting

00:59:01.040 the context

00:59:01.640 out there in

00:59:02.180 a more

00:59:02.780 digestible,

00:59:04.560 simple forum

00:59:05.540 where everybody

00:59:06.040 can just tweet

00:59:06.660 it and look

00:59:07.020 at it.

00:59:08.320 So the

00:59:09.560 brainwashing is

00:59:10.580 the biggest

00:59:11.180 problem in

00:59:11.760 the country

00:59:12.220 because Americans

00:59:14.140 are really good

00:59:15.420 at solving

00:59:15.980 problems when

00:59:18.000 they know what

00:59:18.460 the real

00:59:18.780 problem is.

00:59:20.220 We're really

00:59:21.040 bad at solving

00:59:21.900 problems when

00:59:23.000 we're working

00:59:23.460 on the wrong

00:59:23.980 problem.

00:59:24.440 And the

00:59:25.320 problem we're

00:59:25.860 working on

00:59:26.360 now is all

00:59:27.080 those criminal

00:59:27.780 MAGAs.

00:59:28.960 That's the

00:59:29.340 problem we're

00:59:29.760 working on.

00:59:30.840 The United

00:59:31.240 States is

00:59:31.700 trying to

00:59:32.040 solve for

00:59:32.960 all the

00:59:33.200 white supremacy

00:59:33.880 and the

00:59:35.780 criminal MAGA

00:59:36.680 people.

00:59:37.800 That's the

00:59:38.460 problem.

00:59:39.460 Now, if you

00:59:40.120 think we can

00:59:41.360 get a good

00:59:41.840 result by

00:59:43.240 solving only

00:59:44.140 the wrong

00:59:44.660 problems,

00:59:45.880 that would

00:59:47.760 be insane.

00:59:49.420 And 50%

00:59:50.380 of the country

00:59:51.000 thinks that

00:59:52.220 sounds right.

00:59:53.660 Half of the

00:59:54.420 country believes

00:59:55.140 that you can

00:59:55.620 leave the

00:59:56.000 border basically

00:59:57.100 wide open.

00:59:58.100 I mean, we're

00:59:58.800 playing with

00:59:59.360 words when we

01:00:00.700 say that, but

01:00:01.780 pretty much

01:00:02.300 everybody who

01:00:02.820 tries to get

01:00:03.380 in legally,

01:00:04.740 just going

01:00:05.220 through the

01:00:05.540 checkpoints,

01:00:06.000 they all get

01:00:06.360 in.

01:00:07.200 So you could

01:00:07.940 say that

01:00:08.340 they're all

01:00:08.840 legal immigrants

01:00:10.180 because Biden

01:00:11.480 has made them

01:00:12.080 all legal in

01:00:13.400 unlimited amounts.

01:00:15.060 And we're

01:00:15.920 supposed to act

01:00:16.840 as if that's

01:00:17.460 not a problem,

01:00:18.760 but the real

01:00:20.040 problem is things

01:00:20.920 which give

01:00:21.400 money to

01:00:22.100 people who

01:00:23.300 buy into

01:00:23.880 climate change,

01:00:25.640 people who

01:00:26.580 buy into the

01:00:27.260 military-industrial

01:00:28.320 complex story

01:00:29.940 that every

01:00:30.520 country in the

01:00:31.080 world is our

01:00:31.640 problem, and we

01:00:32.420 better put some

01:00:33.160 bullets over

01:00:34.280 there.

01:00:36.080 So the only

01:00:38.400 thing I see

01:00:39.480 here that's

01:00:40.820 maybe a way

01:00:41.420 out is some

01:00:43.500 kind of a,

01:00:44.380 literally, a

01:00:45.560 brainwashing

01:00:46.520 technology, or

01:00:49.440 an un-brainwashing

01:00:50.740 technology, which

01:00:52.040 I believe is

01:00:52.580 totally doable.

01:00:54.060 It would require

01:00:54.540 a lot of work,

01:00:55.860 like you'd have

01:00:56.420 to create, say,

01:00:57.460 a video.

01:00:58.660 But hypothetically,

01:01:00.140 I don't think I

01:01:01.180 have time to do

01:01:01.760 this, but I wish

01:01:02.780 I did.

01:01:03.240 I'd love it.

01:01:04.600 Hypothetically,

01:01:05.760 one could create

01:01:06.700 a video that

01:01:07.560 un-brainwashes

01:01:08.520 people.

01:01:10.800 I don't know if

01:01:11.720 anybody would

01:01:12.180 watch it,

01:01:12.680 though, because

01:01:14.740 people don't want

01:01:15.680 to be un-brainwashed.

01:01:17.480 It's really

01:01:18.140 painful.

01:01:20.020 So even if you

01:01:21.020 could do it,

01:01:22.020 getting people to

01:01:22.860 consume it would

01:01:23.580 be nearly impossible.

01:01:24.800 I mean, you

01:01:25.100 already see that

01:01:25.880 the left won't

01:01:26.740 consume.

01:01:27.660 Have you ever

01:01:28.060 had this experience

01:01:28.900 where somebody

01:01:29.960 will make a

01:01:30.400 ridiculous accusation

01:01:32.120 because they were

01:01:32.760 brainwashed, you'll

01:01:34.560 show them the

01:01:35.160 two-minute video

01:01:35.960 that proves they're

01:01:36.620 wrong, and they

01:01:37.620 can't even click

01:01:38.220 on it?

01:01:40.120 You know what I

01:01:40.680 mean?

01:01:41.300 Because they know

01:01:41.880 if they click on

01:01:42.520 it, it's going to

01:01:43.060 hurt.

01:01:44.420 So they'll just

01:01:45.660 call you a white

01:01:46.660 supremacist and

01:01:47.500 make it a day.

01:01:48.960 Yeah, you've seen

01:01:49.620 it.

01:01:49.880 You know what I'm

01:01:50.320 talking about.

01:01:52.620 So Memory Man

01:01:53.900 says in the

01:01:54.400 comments, let's

01:01:55.100 talk about

01:01:55.640 Vivek's fake

01:01:57.140 history.

01:01:59.120 So there's a

01:01:59.940 number of people

01:02:00.460 who have fallen

01:02:01.200 for some

01:02:02.840 persuasion that I

01:02:03.900 think is coming

01:02:06.060 from one source.

01:02:08.120 I don't know who

01:02:09.100 in terms of names,

01:02:10.260 but it appears to

01:02:11.080 me that the

01:02:11.680 anti-Vivek stuff

01:02:13.220 is organized by

01:02:15.220 somebody who

01:02:15.800 knows how to

01:02:16.280 do this.

01:02:17.740 Here's the tell.

01:02:19.280 Again, teaching you

01:02:20.660 how to not be

01:02:21.240 brainwashed.

01:02:22.400 So the tell for

01:02:23.500 persuasion against

01:02:25.060 Trump in the

01:02:26.920 2016 election was

01:02:28.080 the word dark.

01:02:30.120 Right?

01:02:30.760 As soon as you

01:02:31.140 heard that thing,

01:02:31.800 dark, you're like,

01:02:33.000 oh, I'm going to

01:02:33.860 attach everything to

01:02:34.780 that.

01:02:35.720 And with Vivek, he

01:02:38.600 is apparently being

01:02:39.460 branded with some

01:02:40.640 W-E-F Soros

01:02:43.360 thing, and they

01:02:44.380 can find some

01:02:45.360 connection that is

01:02:46.640 real.

01:02:47.560 There's a real

01:02:48.540 connection.

01:02:49.500 But you know

01:02:49.840 what?

01:02:50.640 I am also

01:02:51.580 connected to the

01:02:52.420 worst things in

01:02:53.060 the world.

01:02:54.680 If you were to

01:02:55.480 look at all the

01:02:56.600 people I've ever

01:02:57.240 talked to, even

01:02:59.020 had, you know, I

01:03:00.360 visited with, had

01:03:01.300 lunch with.

01:03:02.800 Oh, let me give

01:03:03.440 you an example.

01:03:05.060 Today I'm going to

01:03:05.900 talk to Roger

01:03:06.600 Stone.

01:03:06.980 Yeah, I think

01:03:09.240 it's recorded for

01:03:10.100 Sunday.

01:03:10.720 I'll tell you the

01:03:11.260 details.

01:03:12.720 But, so, if

01:03:14.120 somebody says, oh,

01:03:15.060 he's one of those

01:03:15.880 Roger Stone people,

01:03:17.060 enough said.

01:03:18.180 Enough said.

01:03:18.980 Right?

01:03:19.760 That's how it

01:03:20.420 works.

01:03:21.480 You can find a

01:03:22.200 connection to

01:03:22.740 anything.

01:03:23.780 Do you think

01:03:24.200 somebody could say

01:03:24.880 I have a

01:03:25.320 connection to

01:03:25.900 Roger Stone now?

01:03:27.360 Because he asked

01:03:27.980 to talk to me for

01:03:29.160 his radio show, and

01:03:29.980 I said yes, because

01:03:31.460 I'm on a book tour.

01:03:32.640 Yeah.

01:03:33.100 So now I have a

01:03:34.080 connection to MAGA.

01:03:35.540 Now I have a

01:03:36.440 connection with

01:03:36.960 I have an

01:03:37.840 association with.

01:03:39.560 When you see all

01:03:41.120 those associated

01:03:42.200 with stories, you're

01:03:44.020 being brainwashed.

01:03:46.020 Right?

01:03:46.340 All the stories

01:03:47.260 about Vivek that

01:03:48.780 are by association,

01:03:51.340 that's pure

01:03:52.080 brainwashing.

01:03:54.160 If you want to

01:03:55.020 know what he

01:03:55.480 actually did and

01:03:56.300 thinks, you can

01:03:57.360 ask him.

01:03:58.940 Right?

01:03:59.400 But the whole, he's

01:04:00.600 associated with, so

01:04:02.620 I don't quite trust

01:04:03.580 him.

01:04:04.040 That's like dark.

01:04:04.980 All right?

01:04:07.100 So the dark, you

01:04:09.260 know, play, the

01:04:10.080 persuasion play for

01:04:11.240 Trump, just turned

01:04:12.640 into the, hmm, world

01:04:14.700 globalist, maybe

01:04:16.320 something suspicious.

01:04:18.900 Oh, I've got

01:04:19.880 questions.

01:04:20.620 What about his

01:04:21.060 history?

01:04:21.920 That's all

01:04:22.440 brainwashing.

01:04:23.460 If you find yourself

01:04:24.700 mouthing those words,

01:04:26.840 here are the things

01:04:27.660 you can tell yourself

01:04:28.900 if you're brainwashed.

01:04:29.880 If you say the

01:04:31.140 following, you know,

01:04:32.720 I like, I like what

01:04:33.580 he says, but I don't

01:04:35.300 quite trust him.

01:04:37.820 Right?

01:04:39.180 Do you know why

01:04:39.920 that's obvious

01:04:40.640 brainwashing?

01:04:42.400 Because it applies to

01:04:43.640 100% of politicians.

01:04:45.760 You don't know what

01:04:46.360 they're up to.

01:04:47.640 Do you think you

01:04:48.240 have any facility to

01:04:49.440 know what somebody's

01:04:50.160 secret thoughts are

01:04:51.100 and what the real

01:04:52.180 deal is?

01:04:52.720 You don't.

01:04:54.160 All right?

01:04:54.600 Who is Chris Christie's

01:04:56.460 political backer?

01:04:57.500 Tell me, who's

01:05:00.240 paying Chris Christie

01:05:01.380 to go around and

01:05:02.360 make fun of Trump?

01:05:03.940 Do you know?

01:05:05.580 Right.

01:05:06.520 Do you trust Chris

01:05:07.760 Christie that he's

01:05:08.660 really just running

01:05:09.280 for president and

01:05:10.340 that's the real

01:05:10.800 reason he's there?

01:05:11.580 No, obviously not.

01:05:13.320 No.

01:05:13.860 Even people that are

01:05:14.820 on your team are

01:05:16.500 just completely

01:05:17.780 untrustable.

01:05:19.800 So if you said to

01:05:20.980 yourself, you know,

01:05:22.540 those other people I

01:05:23.760 may like or not like

01:05:25.100 how they perform,

01:05:25.980 but there's just

01:05:27.480 this one guy.

01:05:29.260 But out of all the

01:05:30.080 nine, there's just

01:05:31.520 this one guy.

01:05:32.420 I've got some

01:05:33.040 questions.

01:05:34.260 I'm a little distrustful

01:05:35.760 about just the one.

01:05:37.560 Now, my first thought

01:05:38.560 was it was just

01:05:39.440 racist.

01:05:41.060 That was my first

01:05:41.760 thought.

01:05:42.260 I was like, really?

01:05:43.620 It's the brown guy?

01:05:45.760 Like, everybody's cool

01:05:46.920 but the brown guy,

01:05:47.860 right?

01:05:48.400 Like, that's your

01:05:48.920 first thought.

01:05:49.900 But then you look at

01:05:50.920 the specific accusations

01:05:52.660 and they're all like

01:05:54.320 dark.

01:05:55.060 And I'm like,

01:05:56.700 that's not a

01:05:57.220 coincidence.

01:05:58.620 That's not a

01:05:59.360 coincidence.

01:06:01.080 So every time you

01:06:02.360 see somebody who

01:06:03.040 says something like,

01:06:04.600 yeah, I like what

01:06:05.280 he says and, you

01:06:06.700 know, he's pretty

01:06:07.220 smart, but my

01:06:09.020 spider sense is

01:06:10.300 telling me there's

01:06:10.920 something, just

01:06:12.740 something vague.

01:06:13.840 I can't put my,

01:06:15.300 that's what dark

01:06:16.060 is.

01:06:17.060 That's what dark

01:06:17.800 is.

01:06:18.420 That's the sign of

01:06:19.520 a professional.

01:06:21.120 So there's somebody

01:06:22.080 professional who

01:06:23.680 decided that taking

01:06:24.720 Vivek out by these

01:06:26.680 vague association

01:06:28.160 kind of problems

01:06:29.340 would be enough to

01:06:31.040 spook conservatives

01:06:32.380 and it worked

01:06:32.920 perfectly.

01:06:34.180 Worked perfectly.

01:06:35.440 Now, I started out

01:06:37.040 by saying that I

01:06:38.100 can't support

01:06:38.740 Vivek anymore if he

01:06:40.220 doesn't defend

01:06:40.840 himself by making

01:06:42.640 it easy for us to

01:06:43.680 defend it.

01:06:44.660 Which would be,

01:06:45.860 put all those

01:06:46.340 rumors on one page

01:06:47.400 on a website,

01:06:48.780 put his answers

01:06:49.680 there, just let us

01:06:52.080 tweet that, please.

01:06:53.680 So he needs to

01:06:55.140 help us out.

01:06:56.400 But the accusations

01:06:57.900 against him are

01:06:58.700 obviously and

01:07:00.320 clearly brainwashing

01:07:02.740 fodder.

01:07:03.320 They're not based on

01:07:04.600 actual anything you

01:07:05.620 would care about.

01:07:09.860 Norm says,

01:07:10.940 Scott loves the

01:07:11.760 brown guy.

01:07:13.760 Why is it always

01:07:14.840 that?

01:07:17.540 It's always something

01:07:18.580 about the person.

01:07:19.660 Those, by the way,

01:07:26.300 are the stories I

01:07:27.760 wanted to talk

01:07:28.320 about.

01:07:29.220 There's more news

01:07:30.160 about Purgosian,

01:07:31.220 but we're never

01:07:31.880 going to know the

01:07:33.060 real truth there,

01:07:34.060 or we could guess.

01:07:35.760 If you didn't know,

01:07:36.700 Roseanne's conversation

01:07:38.880 with me is now

01:07:41.500 available, so you

01:07:42.560 can watch the

01:07:43.220 Roseanne interview.

01:07:44.540 People are saying

01:07:45.080 it's amazing.

01:07:45.600 I'm happy about

01:07:48.600 that.

01:07:48.960 Actually, I'm

01:07:49.600 getting some of

01:07:50.040 the best feedback

01:07:51.040 from that of

01:07:51.920 anything I've

01:07:52.460 done.

01:07:53.720 So go to, you

01:07:55.180 can just go to

01:07:56.040 YouTube or Rumble

01:07:57.160 or wherever.

01:07:58.060 Just Google it.

01:07:59.080 You can find it in

01:07:59.920 my Twitter feed.

01:08:01.060 Or you can find it

01:08:01.680 in Roseanne's

01:08:02.300 Twitter feed as

01:08:02.880 well.

01:08:05.240 Thank you.

01:08:06.180 Yeah, I'm

01:08:06.560 getting, I

01:08:08.280 honestly don't

01:08:08.960 know exactly what

01:08:09.860 I did right, but

01:08:10.560 people are liking

01:08:11.200 that a lot.

01:08:11.640 All right.

01:08:15.600 Nivek's pure

01:08:21.940 talent will

01:08:22.560 change the

01:08:23.020 Republican Party.

01:08:24.880 Yeah, if they

01:08:25.940 let him, if he

01:08:27.260 gets there.

01:08:29.400 All right, ladies

01:08:30.480 and gentlemen.

01:08:35.460 How weird.

01:08:38.360 Yeah, weird,

01:08:39.000 racist comments

01:08:39.880 today.

01:08:42.440 Scott, would

01:08:45.240 you let James

01:08:47.400 Baldwin read your

01:08:48.420 book?

01:08:49.080 Who's James

01:08:49.780 Baldwin?

01:08:50.860 I don't even

01:08:51.280 know who James

01:08:51.820 Baldwin is.

01:08:56.600 Andrew Baldwin

01:08:57.800 is the one

01:08:58.300 reading the

01:08:58.940 audio book for

01:08:59.680 my book.

01:09:02.160 All right.

01:09:04.280 He's dead.

01:09:08.080 Persuade for peace.

01:09:09.200 Yeah.

01:09:11.380 All right.

01:09:14.320 Oh, I get it.

01:09:15.220 Okay.

01:09:17.340 No, I don't

01:09:17.960 think Tucker's

01:09:18.640 going to run for

01:09:19.180 office.

01:09:24.520 All right.

01:09:25.300 Anything else?

01:09:31.160 Goliath?

01:09:31.660 What?

01:09:32.540 All right.

01:09:32.940 I'm just reading

01:09:33.380 your comments for

01:09:34.080 a moment here.

01:09:34.580 Vivek doesn't

01:09:39.460 show emotional

01:09:40.140 contrast, somebody

01:09:41.140 says.

01:09:43.940 Interesting.

01:09:46.260 I have to think

01:09:46.780 about that.

01:09:47.600 That might be a

01:09:48.120 good point.

01:09:49.280 All right.

01:09:50.880 Ladies and

01:09:51.520 gentlemen, thanks
