Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2222 Scott Adams： Free Speech Was Nice While It Lasted. Bring Coffee

00:00:01.000 Hold on. Technical problem on Twitter.

00:00:05.400 Retry.

00:00:08.080 Post not sent.

00:00:13.920 Hmm. Looks like people are joining.

00:00:17.940 I've got an error condition

00:00:20.080 on Twitter, which I call

00:00:23.960 X, but it doesn't seem to be affecting the live

00:00:27.900 stream, so we're going to go with it.

00:00:30.000 Do-do-do-do-do-do-do.

00:00:32.980 Ra-ba-ba-bum. 1.00

00:00:35.060 La-da-da-da-da. 0.98

00:00:36.920 La-da-da-da-da-da-da. 0.97

00:00:39.560 Good morning, everybody, and welcome

00:00:41.800 to the highlight of human

00:00:43.580 civilization.

00:00:45.420 After a long three-day weekend here in

00:00:47.680 America, we're ready

00:00:49.800 to go. Ready to go.

00:00:51.780 I don't know if you know this, but all

00:00:53.380 work happens

00:00:55.880 between September

00:00:57.980 and first part of November.

00:01:01.000 And then

00:01:02.100 January to late

00:01:04.280 March.

00:01:06.240 You knew that, right?

00:01:08.280 All the rest of the year is kind of just

00:01:10.180 waiting for those periods.

00:01:13.280 Everything else is waiting

00:01:14.380 for somebody to come back from vacation.

00:01:16.080 But if you'd like to take your experience up to levels that nobody's ever dreamed were

00:01:21.420 possible, all you need is a cup or mug or a glass of tank or Chelsea Stein, a canteen

00:01:26.200 jug or flask of vessel of any kind, fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:01:30.580 I like coffee.

00:01:32.180 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine of the day.

00:01:36.320 The thing makes everything better.

00:01:37.340 It's called Simultaneous Sip.

00:01:40.440 It happens now.

00:01:41.440 Go.

00:01:47.340 Yep.

00:01:47.840 It's time to get serious.

00:01:49.100 The kids are back in school.

00:01:50.400 The weather's not as good as it was before, although I like it better.

00:01:55.080 Yeah.

00:01:56.020 Time to get serious.

00:01:58.140 Speaking of serious, do you remember the Canadian shop teacher who had the enormous

00:02:04.760 prosthetic breasts? 1.00

00:02:08.120 Well, apparently said teacher is going back to school and presenting, no longer presenting 0.99

00:02:17.200 female, but is presenting a male look.

00:02:21.940 But you know what the funniest part about the story is?

00:02:26.140 It's a story, there was a story in the Toronto Sun showing the teacher in the full prosthetics

00:02:36.140 that we were used to seeing, and then showing the same teacher dressed as an unambiguous male

00:02:44.000 presentation.

00:02:45.680 You know, not talking about what's in the mind, but in terms of the, you know, outside.

00:02:51.020 And through the entire article, wait for it, the entire article is about this individual

00:02:57.760 clearly presenting now as male, as the teacher did prior to the event.

00:03:06.140 And through the entire article, the teacher was referred to as she.

00:03:17.660 That's right.

00:03:19.960 Now that the prank, I assume it was a prank, right?

00:03:23.460 I think he was just making a political point.

00:03:26.060 Even after having made the point, I think, I think they still can't get off, they're still

00:03:36.140 so stuck in the prank that they don't know that it's time to change the pronoun.

00:03:41.900 Now, I love the fact that he didn't make the rules.

00:03:45.600 If he sticks with it, and continues to dress the way he apparently currently is, which is a male 0.98

00:03:54.080 presentation, and insists on being called a woman, I'm just going to love him twice as much.

00:04:00.540 Or her.

00:04:01.680 Or her.

00:04:02.620 I don't want to get that wrong.

00:04:04.960 It would be the best.

00:04:06.960 But that might be coming.

00:04:08.060 We don't know what said Canadian shop teacher is thinking, but I sure hope she is thinking

00:04:16.380 that, to just go on with his life being called a her, and just let it ride.

00:04:24.960 It would be wonderful.

00:04:27.320 Well, Jill Biden has COVID.

00:04:29.280 I saw Tim Poole ask if this is sort of the beginning of the hint of the cats on the roof

00:04:35.220 of the, well, you know, Joe Biden's fine.

00:04:39.540 Don't worry, Joe Biden's been tested.

00:04:41.560 He's fine.

00:04:42.820 But the person who spends a lot of time with him has this COVID thing, and you know, a man

00:04:48.140 that age, a little bit of COVID, who's to say he wouldn't come down with some long COVID?

00:04:55.400 I mean, if you were to get COVID, he might be one of the statistics, you know what I mean?

00:05:01.300 One of the people who gets that long COVID and doesn't know how long it's going to last,

00:05:05.420 but it might be unfair to run for president under those conditions.

00:05:11.540 Nothing's real.

00:05:13.460 Literally nothing is real.

00:05:15.600 You know, the most shocking thing that I say is that there's no such thing as real news

00:05:22.200 about public figures.

00:05:25.400 When people first hear that, they're like, well, that can't be true.

00:05:29.600 Like, obviously, sometimes it's wrong.

00:05:32.460 But you're telling me that every time it's a public figure, the news is wrong?

00:05:37.880 Yes.

00:05:38.940 Yes, every time.

00:05:40.640 It's that at the very least, you're leaving out a key piece of information,

00:05:44.580 which, you know, could have the effect of making it wrong.

00:05:47.480 So yes, even if the thing they report really happened, the news is still fake.

00:05:52.600 Because they leave out the explanatory stuff.

00:05:56.600 Do you remember when I got canceled?

00:05:59.460 I'm sure you remember that.

00:06:01.120 And they reported what I said.

00:06:04.220 How many people in the press asked me why I said it, or what the intention was,

00:06:10.060 or why I would say something so obviously, you know, out of place?

00:06:15.220 Do you know how many of the entire press?

00:06:17.540 It was a national headline for days and days and days.

00:06:20.680 Weeks, actually.

00:06:21.740 It was trending for weeks.

00:06:23.920 How many of them asked me why I said it?

00:06:26.560 None.

00:06:28.380 Not a single one.

00:06:30.300 Not even one.

00:06:31.220 Isn't that the most obvious question?

00:06:35.060 If that were news, you don't think they would ask me why I said it?

00:06:40.740 Like, what's up with that?

00:06:42.640 You know, why does this not match anything you've ever done in the past?

00:06:46.900 Nobody asked.

00:06:49.340 I mean, just settle on that one thing.

00:06:53.080 A national trending story.

00:06:55.460 I'm a public figure.

00:06:56.500 I'm literally the easiest person in the world to find.

00:07:00.220 You could find me a hundred different ways.

00:07:03.400 Nobody asked.

00:07:04.660 Nobody.

00:07:05.560 Not a single part of the media.

00:07:09.460 Now, Chris Cuomo asked, but that was in the context of, you know, content for the show.

00:07:15.860 Right?

00:07:16.320 But nobody asked as a news story.

00:07:19.940 Right?

00:07:20.260 If you're actually on a show, of course you can ask.

00:07:22.400 But if you're not a guest on the show, nobody cared.

00:07:29.520 All right.

00:07:33.820 NBC News had a story today.

00:07:36.680 And it doesn't matter what the story is.

00:07:39.060 But here's one sentence.

00:07:41.100 Remember, this is NBC.

00:07:43.280 All right.

00:07:44.280 You all know that NBC is not real news, right?

00:07:47.140 If you listen to Glenn Greenwald, he'll tell you directly.

00:07:50.200 They're just a CIA organ.

00:07:52.720 They're not really.

00:07:53.480 Or I would say a Democrat organ at this point.

00:07:56.640 They're not really trying to do the news.

00:07:59.240 But they have this statement.

00:08:00.500 Quote,

00:08:01.660 Even though House Republicans have not produced evidence of wrongdoing by Biden.

00:08:09.420 There's no evidence of wrongdoing.

00:08:11.260 Now, let me be as clear as possible.

00:08:16.420 Had they said there's no direct evidence of a crime, I would say, yeah, I think you're right about that.

00:08:25.300 There's plenty of circumstantial evidence.

00:08:27.920 But I'm not even sure the circumstantial evidence indicates a crime that Biden himself did.

00:08:34.440 I don't know.

00:08:35.020 I'm no lawyer, but if they'd said something more clear like that, I would say, well, yeah, technically, I guess you're right.

00:08:43.640 I guess you're right.

00:08:44.860 But no.

00:08:47.180 They have not produced evidence of wrongdoing.

00:08:51.380 Now, wouldn't wrongdoing include taking money for things you're not providing as a service?

00:08:57.320 As in, if they're really not giving anything for these contacts, is that right?

00:09:05.320 Is it right to take money for a product you're not delivering?

00:09:09.300 I don't know.

00:09:10.340 That would be wrong in a different way.

00:09:13.280 What about lying about it the whole time?

00:09:15.760 Is there any wrongdoing about lying that he had no knowledge of his kid's business?

00:09:21.380 Eh.

00:09:22.240 Never met with any of those people?

00:09:24.480 Eh.

00:09:25.880 How about lying?

00:09:27.320 Yeah, I don't know if there was technically a law broken, but I've never seen more evidence of wrongdoing in my life.

00:09:35.060 Have you ever seen more evidence?

00:09:36.880 Now, remember, evidence is not proof.

00:09:38.980 But I've never seen more evidence.

00:09:41.560 I mean, the evidence seems kind of overwhelming.

00:09:45.700 But no, NBC News, nope.

00:09:48.120 No evidence of wrongdoing.

00:09:49.540 And if you thought that NBC News was real news, and you read this, wouldn't you adopt that opinion?

00:09:58.840 Oh, well, NBC says there's no evidence of wrongdoing, so I guess we're done here.

00:10:03.540 Yeah, if you don't know that the news stopped being real a long time ago, that would be confusing.

00:10:11.680 If it was ever real.

00:10:13.020 I mean, there's a good argument it never was real.

00:10:15.020 Here's a good rule for you about science.

00:10:21.720 We all love our science, right?

00:10:23.980 Science being the, probably the single best way to know what's real and true and at least repeatable.

00:10:31.620 That's the closest you can get to reality.

00:10:33.400 is what is predictable and repeatable.

00:10:36.400 But I think you need to make a big distinction between science that is the subject of headlines

00:10:44.260 and science that's happening in a lab and nobody knows about it.

00:10:50.060 Now, I would like to make a clear demarcation.

00:10:53.880 Science that nobody hears about, because somebody, let's say they're testing a specific hypothesis,

00:10:59.980 it's not part of a product, it's not related to the headlines, has nothing to do with climate change,

00:11:05.920 it has nothing to do with race, it has nothing to do with anything that we debate about every day.

00:11:11.800 I've got a feeling that that's pretty good.

00:11:15.540 Probably pretty good.

00:11:17.000 Meaning that they probably are real scientists who are doing something real

00:11:22.080 and getting real results.

00:11:25.680 Sometimes wrong, sometimes right, but they, you know, crawl toward the truth over time.

00:11:31.360 But, is it my imagination, if any science is in the headlines, such as climate change,

00:11:37.980 it's always fake.

00:11:40.160 Isn't it?

00:11:42.420 Isn't science just another way to launder opinion?

00:11:46.340 It is.

00:11:47.540 Yeah.

00:11:48.080 Science is just a way to launder opinion.

00:11:49.920 And, I saw the funniest quote.

00:11:57.920 I'm going to skip ad here, I wasn't planning it, but speaking of that.

00:12:02.160 So, Anderson Cooper was talking about the new ownership of CNN and how Chris liked or licked or whatever it was.

00:12:14.420 You know, I guess he's gone now.

00:12:15.540 But, Anderson Cooper was saying that he wasn't, he didn't understand the whole thing that management wanted them to do.

00:12:25.360 Because, Anderson Cooper said he's an anchor, he's not an opinion guy.

00:12:31.220 He's a news guy, not an opinion guy.

00:12:33.800 Anderson Cooper.

00:12:35.900 Anderson Cooper said that.

00:12:38.480 Like, that's a real thing that came out of his mouth.

00:12:40.760 He thinks he's a news guy, not an opinion guy.

00:12:47.620 That's everything that's wrong with, that's everything that's wrong with CNN, is that he actually thinks he's a news guy.

00:12:56.840 So, when he gives you his opinions, he thinks he's telling you the news.

00:13:00.300 Because he thinks it must be, he must think they're facts.

00:13:03.120 I mean, I'm just guessing, I can't read his mind.

00:13:04.980 But the logical implication of that is that he thinks the things he's saying are true and factual and news.

00:13:14.040 Does he really think that?

00:13:17.480 Don't you wonder if he actually really thinks that?

00:13:20.560 Or is that just something he said?

00:13:22.760 Because, you know, people say things they don't believe.

00:13:25.620 But could he actually believe that?

00:13:28.440 That he's a news guy and not an opinion guy?

00:13:30.420 Now, this is one of the reasons I've always had more respect for Fox News.

00:13:35.720 If you ask Hannity, are you an opinion guy or a news guy, I'm pretty sure he'd say opinion guy.

00:13:43.160 Right?

00:13:44.480 Tucker?

00:13:45.440 Do you think Tucker would say he's a hard news guy or an opinion guy?

00:13:48.840 I think he'd say opinion.

00:13:51.540 Right?

00:13:52.500 And you could pretty much go down the line.

00:13:54.960 You get to Brett Baer, and you'd say, are you an opinion guy or a news guy?

00:13:58.860 You'd say, I'm a news guy.

00:14:00.080 And then you'd say, yeah?

00:14:01.160 Oh, yeah?

00:14:01.720 Well, I'm going to check.

00:14:02.960 And then you'd find out he's a news guy.

00:14:05.380 Pretty much sticks to the news.

00:14:08.040 So it's just amazing.

00:14:09.660 I can't really tell when people are having a mental problem or when they're just lying.

00:14:17.640 Do you think that Anderson Cooper is unaware that other people see him as only an opinion guy?

00:14:25.460 Really?

00:14:27.260 Do you think he knows?

00:14:28.860 Because I actually don't know.

00:14:32.180 Here's one of the dangerous things about perception, I guess.

00:14:37.620 Humans are pretty good at determining if somebody is mentally distraught.

00:14:45.380 Wouldn't you say?

00:14:47.020 Humans are pretty good at, you know, in person.

00:14:50.300 You can't tell online too much. 0.85

00:14:51.620 But in person, you can kind of tell if somebody's got a mental disorder.

00:14:55.360 You know, if it's one of the kind that is going to affect their immediate behavior.

00:14:59.980 So, to me, he always looked like he had a mental disorder.

00:15:06.060 But, you know, I'm not a doctor.

00:15:07.600 And if I were, you'd be telling me, you don't diagnose somebody you don't know. 0.54

00:15:11.600 I'm just saying that when I look at his face, when he talks about Trump-related stuff, he looks like he's in actual mental distress.

00:15:20.120 In other words, he projects it.

00:15:23.040 I can't say I know what he's thinking.

00:15:25.000 That would be unfair. 0.99

00:15:26.300 I'm saying that as an observer of behavior, he presents as a person with a mental disorder. 0.83

00:15:32.200 Now, I have the same feeling about Bill Maher, but only when he talks about some Trump stuff. 0.63

00:15:40.540 He seems to be completely mentally healthy in every other domain.

00:15:45.740 But when you hit that one domain, there's something that happens.

00:15:50.000 I don't know if it's just a personal problem, but it presents itself as a mental disorder.

00:15:57.660 TDS, specifically. 0.96

00:15:59.700 It does look like a mental disorder.

00:16:01.380 And I wonder if there's something like that on the right, or even something like that that I do,

00:16:07.220 where I look like I'm rational most of the time, but there'll be something I talk about that you'll say, 0.97

00:16:12.420 I think you've got a mental disorder there, Scott. 0.99

00:16:20.180 Yeah. 1.00

00:16:21.000 No, you're going to come out, you're going to throw out some examples of where you disagree with me on policy.

00:16:26.900 That's not what we're talking about. 0.98

00:16:28.340 I'm talking about just being batshit crazy. 0.77

00:16:31.380 Yeah, everybody has blind spots. 0.94

00:16:34.840 Everybody has bias.

00:16:36.340 We're not talking about that. 0.84

00:16:38.740 I'm talking about batshit crazy. 0.89

00:16:42.440 All right.

00:16:42.780 So, yeah, so any news that's in the headlines is fake most of the time.

00:16:54.080 Do you think that that's a fair statement?

00:16:56.780 That science you don't hear about is probably pretty valid, you know, over time, not every experiment is going to work.

00:17:02.880 But that if it's in the headlines, there's almost not, there's really not much chance it's real.

00:17:08.980 You know, even the pro and the con are not really trying to be real.

00:17:13.640 I think Vivek is the first politician who has made a legitimate attempt to be honest about the science.

00:17:22.740 And pulling it off.

00:17:25.700 You know, maybe other people had it in their minds that they were trying to do that, but they didn't, you know, didn't come off that way.

00:17:32.840 He's the only one who seems to be literally looking at the science as we understand it and then, you know, doing a good job of interpreting it.

00:17:40.580 No, I feel like everybody else was just, uh-uh, climate change is real, uh-uh, it snowed today.

00:17:49.120 And he's just, he's dismantling them, you know, through a much better process.

00:17:56.440 All right.

00:17:57.520 But he's only dismantling the agenda.

00:18:00.640 Just the agenda.

00:18:02.780 All right.

00:18:03.500 Um, I saw a, uh, tweet today, because I was complaining about free speech, as I often do.

00:18:11.100 We'll talk about more of that.

00:18:14.240 But, uh, Frank, on Twitter, Frank Joppy, I think, uh, he said that free speech leans on the Second Amendment.

00:18:23.820 No one is aware of it, but the USA is, uh, is the Second Amendment.

00:18:28.060 It's the knot that keeps it all together.

00:18:30.060 To which I said, no, it doesn't.

00:18:34.280 Are you kidding me?

00:18:36.600 The Second Amendment probably does protect you from the worst kind of dictator taking over. 0.56

00:18:44.060 I think that's true. 0.99

00:18:45.560 And anybody who makes the stupid argument that guns don't work against nuclear weapons and helicopters 0.99

00:18:51.700 doesn't really understand how the guns would be used. 0.99

00:18:55.240 Because they wouldn't be used against the military.

00:18:58.540 Duh.

00:18:59.580 Right?

00:19:00.060 You know, that's not how they would be used.

00:19:03.360 They would just make it impossible for anybody in charge to ever go outside again.

00:19:07.860 And people in charge probably want to go outside.

00:19:11.240 Sometime for the rest of their life.

00:19:12.460 No, it would just be impossible to show your face anywhere in America if you were a dictator.

00:19:18.080 Because we're just too strapped.

00:19:19.780 Somebody would take you out.

00:19:20.800 So, yeah, the Second Amendment is really good as one of the things that maybe helps us prevent the dictator takeover.

00:19:31.540 But when it comes to freedom of speech, you lost that a long time ago.

00:19:37.740 Who has freedom of speech?

00:19:39.000 Who has freedom of speech? 0.96

00:19:40.160 You know, let me give you the dumb argument before I give you the smart argument. 0.95

00:19:46.460 Okay? 0.98

00:19:46.600 Dale?

00:19:49.460 Dale, can you explain in your own words why we have total freedom of speech in America?

00:19:56.700 Because you can go to your closet and say anything you want.

00:19:59.240 Well, that's true.

00:20:02.360 I could go in my closet all by myself and say anything I wanted.

00:20:06.260 But does that really seem to you like that's freedom of speech?

00:20:11.720 Nobody says you get to go on a social media platform.

00:20:15.360 I don't believe the Constitution mentioned your freedom of using the X platform.

00:20:22.940 Yeah, we all get that.

00:20:25.340 We all get that.

00:20:27.000 100% of us understand that.

00:20:29.960 But in a practical sense, if you don't have access to actually the tools of communicating,

00:20:36.140 you don't really have freedom in the way that other people do in a practical sense.

00:20:41.160 But not a technical sense.

00:20:42.880 Not a technical sense.

00:20:43.900 Because you can go into your closet and you can say anything you want in the privacy of your own closet.

00:20:51.720 Yeah, but you know, that's not really the free speech that anybody cared about.

00:20:56.080 The only kind people cared about was the public stuff.

00:21:01.500 Well, you can say anything you want on Twitter.

00:21:03.180 Apparently, they're anti-Semites and racists and everybody.

00:21:07.460 So what are you complaining about? 0.83

00:21:08.840 You can say anything you want on there.

00:21:11.200 Well, yes.

00:21:12.400 But then the ADL will ban you whether you say anything bad or not, if they just don't like it politically.

00:21:19.600 Because they're essentially a tool of the Democrats and they're destroying free speech wherever they go

00:21:25.300 by destroying the economic model of the people trying to enjoy the free speech.

00:21:29.920 They're not in your closet, Scott.

00:21:34.080 You can say anything you want on there.

00:21:36.820 I feel like you're just avoiding my argument as opposed to responding to it.

00:21:42.140 Do you see the fact that while technically free speech exists, that in a practical sense, it does not?

00:21:51.760 Do you get that?

00:21:52.520 Those January 6th people had all the free speech they wanted. 1.00

00:21:58.180 Yes, you fucking piece of shit. 1.00

00:22:01.020 They have all the free speech they want, you cocksucker, while they're in jail, 1.00

00:22:06.420 rotting for basically free speech crimes, you fucking asshole. 1.00

00:22:11.260 Well, you don't have to get so personal about it. 1.00

00:22:14.720 Freedom of speech.

00:22:17.160 Handsy.

00:22:17.680 So, yeah, we don't have freedom of speech.

00:22:24.800 Are you kidding me?

00:22:26.260 Does anybody think that we have freedom of speech in a practical sense?

00:22:30.280 You know, don't go all Dale on me.

00:22:32.260 Oh, technically it doesn't mean.

00:22:34.480 No, I know that.

00:22:35.880 I know it technically doesn't involve Twitter or X or whatever.

00:22:40.960 Yeah.

00:22:41.800 All right.

00:22:42.320 Well, you know what I mean.

00:22:43.860 All right.

00:22:44.540 So now the Second Amendment won't protect your freedom of speech because that's already largely gone.

00:22:50.880 What you have is the freedom to run into a buzzsaw of economic destruction

00:22:55.200 should you say something that is not compatible with the malign powers such as the ADL and the SPLC, blah, blah, blah, and those people.

00:23:07.020 All right.

00:23:07.380 Glenn Greenwald, he tweeted today.

00:23:13.160 The top two priorities of the CIA and the U.S. security state is, number one, infinitely prolong the war in Ukraine to weaken Russia.

00:23:22.420 And two, control online political speech to banish dissent.

00:23:27.740 He says the liberal left overwhelmingly support both.

00:23:31.800 And the few that don't are demonized.

00:23:34.340 Now, does that feel like an accurate statement of where we're at?

00:23:41.560 Does that seem like hyperbole?

00:23:44.160 It actually doesn't to me.

00:23:46.100 That doesn't feel like hyperbole.

00:23:47.900 That feels like an objective description of the current situation.

00:23:52.480 Yeah.

00:23:52.580 But I wonder to what extent Glenn Greenwald is being targeted by the entities that don't like he's calling them out.

00:24:02.440 I think they trust on, I think their trust is that the only people that see Glenn Greenwald are people who agree with him already.

00:24:11.700 You know what I mean?

00:24:12.280 If you don't agree with him, you probably never saw this.

00:24:16.880 So, who's he talking to?

00:24:20.320 That's all they need to control you.

00:24:23.840 I think I mentioned this, but Vivek was tweeting about it.

00:24:27.340 So, DeSantis has this $100 million monster PAC political election committee.

00:24:33.660 And apparently they've taken credit for creating an army of trolls to create misinformation about Vivek.

00:24:44.500 Now, isn't that exactly what it seemed like?

00:24:48.980 Didn't it seem like there was this weird army of trolls who were all pushing the same set of misinformation?

00:24:57.180 And now, a number of you, I don't want to name names, but a number of you believed the trolls and decided he was a WEF guy or a Soros guy. 0.90

00:25:08.520 And these are all ridiculous things. 0.99

00:25:10.420 Ridiculous. 0.99

00:25:11.940 But did, how many of the trolls convinced you that any of those things were true? 0.98

00:25:16.440 Is there anybody who was fooled by the trolls to think that he was a globalist?

00:25:22.740 Anybody?

00:25:23.460 Was anybody fooled by it?

00:25:24.560 Because I got a lot of people who came at me that I think are my regulars who were completely fooled by that.

00:25:36.500 So, here's one right now. 0.76

00:25:38.360 Probably DeSantis troll.

00:25:40.060 This is in all caps. 0.76

00:25:42.500 BASQUIRL1213, which is totally a real person.

00:25:47.000 BASQUIRL1213.

00:25:48.720 All in caps.

00:25:49.800 Scott wants to swallow Vivek's tikka roll.

00:25:54.560 So, I think DeSantis is sending his best.

00:26:01.200 So, it's a good job.

00:26:02.600 You did a good job representing your candidate.

00:26:05.780 So, Ron DeSantis is going to be quite proud of you.

00:26:08.780 All capitals mixing your racism with your food ideas all in one tweet.

00:26:16.900 Pretty good.

00:26:17.860 Pretty good.

00:26:18.400 Are there any more DeSantis trolls here?

00:26:21.900 You're funny.

00:26:24.440 You know what I've started doing?

00:26:27.620 It turns out that people who have mental disorders will label themselves on X if you look for it.

00:26:37.260 Am I right?

00:26:38.140 They'll actually put an icon to label their own mental disorder, and you can even tell which one it is. 0.64

00:26:47.420 Like, oh, it's one of those mental disorders.

00:26:51.080 If you see a Ukraine flag in a bio, what do you know about the person? 0.92

00:26:56.160 You know they're not legitimate and sane.

00:27:01.520 Now, they might be sane and, you know, just playing a role.

00:27:05.480 Or they might be insane and not know it.

00:27:08.420 But you should not respond to anybody with a Ukraine flag as if you're in a conversation with somebody who has a political difference.

00:27:16.560 Nothing like that's happening.

00:27:18.520 Just look at their responses.

00:27:20.120 They will be completely unhinged.

00:27:21.800 Same with the little, you know, the little ocean thing.

00:27:26.520 Same with the masks.

00:27:28.860 Right?

00:27:29.080 Same with the pronouns. 0.97

00:27:30.500 If you see any of that, you're dealing with a mental disorder.

00:27:34.580 And it has nothing to do with whether they disagree with you on policy. 0.63

00:27:39.420 Yeah, the syringe.

00:27:41.300 The syringe, the blue wave.

00:27:43.360 Yeah.

00:27:43.720 They are so predictive.

00:27:45.340 But, you know, the one I use all the time is the artist.

00:27:48.200 When the artists come after me, they usually have artists in their bio.

00:27:54.220 And they'll come after me the hardest.

00:27:57.080 That's not exactly a mental disorder.

00:28:00.560 That's people in my profession who didn't do as well. 0.99

00:28:04.420 They're all hella mad.

00:28:06.900 It's like, can you imagine?

00:28:08.800 Well, let's have some sympathy for them.

00:28:10.680 Can we?

00:28:11.700 Imagine being an actual artist and then looking at what made me famous.

00:28:16.980 You don't think that would bother you?

00:28:21.640 I'm literally the least talented artist in the entire world of art who is not named Kathy Geiswhite because she left the business.

00:28:31.200 But of people who are actually still working, I'm by far, you know, the least talented in an art sense.

00:28:38.180 Can you imagine how much that bothers artists?

00:28:41.340 How about my writing?

00:28:42.340 You know, I don't exactly write like Shakespeare, who I mock.

00:28:49.100 How would you like to be a writer who can make, like, really good, you know, English college course writing sentences?

00:28:58.520 And then you look at my little sentences, and they all look like they're fourth to sixth grade level comprehension. 1.00

00:29:05.280 They're like, oh, my God, look at this idiot. 1.00

00:29:09.180 He can't write long sentences. 1.00

00:29:12.000 He can't draw.

00:29:14.320 And how did he get famous?

00:29:15.740 And I'm such a good artist.

00:29:17.040 And I'm going nowhere.

00:29:20.640 So those are not exactly mental disorder.

00:29:23.660 That's, you know, just small people.

00:29:26.820 But the ones with mental disorders really stand out.

00:29:29.360 They do like to label themselves.

00:29:31.620 Well, Elon Musk is suing the ADL, the Anti-Discrimination League.

00:29:36.600 Anti-Discrimination, no, Anti-Defamation League.

00:29:39.340 Anti-Defamation.

00:29:40.860 Here's a little rule for you.

00:29:42.460 Anybody who has anti or diss in front of their names is doing the thing that they're anti-ing or dissing.

00:29:50.420 Antifa.

00:29:52.300 Antifa.

00:29:53.240 Are they really anti-fascist?

00:29:56.780 Are they?

00:29:58.120 Are they?

00:29:58.580 How about anti-defamation?

00:30:02.800 Has the ADL defamed anybody?

00:30:04.980 Well, the head of the ADL called me a Holocaust denier in public.

00:30:14.500 That's the head of the ADL.

00:30:16.780 The head of the ADL.

00:30:18.280 Called me personally just a few weeks ago.

00:30:22.800 Anti-Semitic and a Holocaust denier.

00:30:25.820 What about the various entities that try to be the people who stop disinformation?

00:30:37.340 Do you think the people who are stopping disinformation are stopping only the disinformation?

00:30:44.700 They might stop some of that as well.

00:30:47.100 Well, I've got a feeling that they're in the disinformation business, if you know what I mean.

00:30:52.280 How about the fact checkers?

00:30:53.780 Are the fact checkers there to make sure your facts are right?

00:30:58.460 Nope.

00:30:59.520 They're there to make sure you don't know the facts.

00:31:01.920 Because they're politically oriented.

00:31:06.300 So, if you have on your cynical hat, anytime somebody is anti-something or diss-something or checking something, it's the opposite.

00:31:18.920 It's just, literally, it's the opposite.

00:31:20.660 And once you understand that, everything starts making sense.

00:31:24.160 It's like, oh, it's the anti-discrimination people.

00:31:27.460 Oh, they're going to discriminate against people.

00:31:29.220 I got it.

00:31:29.840 And then they will.

00:31:30.680 You can watch it.

00:31:34.460 Most Holocaust deniers deny being a Holocaust denier.

00:31:37.800 Well, do you still beat your husband?

00:31:45.540 Yeah.

00:31:46.400 Because a lot of people are going to say no to that.

00:31:50.400 All right.

00:31:51.080 So, Musk is suing them.

00:31:54.720 And his claim is that the ADL, primarily, because he talked to advertisers and they named them,

00:32:01.640 the ADL pressured advertisers that there would be problems if they did not stop advertising on X,

00:32:09.400 which made Musk's $22 billion investment worth, you know, maybe nothing.

00:32:16.740 So, he's speculated on the platform that even if they were only responsible for, let's say, 10% of his loss,

00:32:28.960 it could be a couple billion dollars.

00:32:32.720 Now, I saw one lawyer who seemed to be self-labeling, if you know what I mean.

00:32:38.160 If you know what I mean.

00:32:38.920 He was self-labeling himself as not credible.

00:32:41.480 He had a hashtag BLM in his bio.

00:32:43.600 He was a lawyer, and today, in 2023, he has hashtag BLM in his bio.

00:32:55.140 Yeah, you know, you immediately have to discount anything that comes out of that account.

00:33:01.920 Because it's self-labeling.

00:33:04.360 Is there somebody who doesn't know that BLM was a fake organization?

00:33:09.240 Like, is he the last one?

00:33:10.760 Nobody told him?

00:33:11.480 Nobody mentioned that.

00:33:15.420 Hmm.

00:33:16.600 All right.

00:33:19.280 Well, I am so glad that Elon Musk exists,

00:33:23.420 because once you see the total evil of the ADL,

00:33:28.420 they're just destroying lives of people because they get points.

00:33:31.740 And it's basically a Democrat organization that, you know, does some good things.

00:33:39.200 And they just go after anybody who's not on board with their Democrat agenda,

00:33:45.680 and they just turn you into racists and try to cancel you.

00:33:48.440 So that's sort of their process.

00:33:51.480 Now, let me ask you this.

00:33:53.940 If you are going to hire ghost hunters,

00:33:58.500 let's say somebody advertised,

00:33:59.780 I can find out if there's a ghost in your house.

00:34:02.140 Do you think there's a good chance they're going to find one?

00:34:05.000 Because they get paid to find ghosts.

00:34:09.240 Yeah.

00:34:10.300 Something tells me they might find one.

00:34:12.460 Right.

00:34:12.700 What do you think would happen if your literal job is to find racists?

00:34:19.540 Do you think you'd find any?

00:34:21.440 Mm-hmm.

00:34:22.060 Mm-hmm.

00:34:22.600 And do you think you would get paid more,

00:34:25.440 or your prestige would be more,

00:34:27.820 the more of them you found?

00:34:30.480 Uh-huh.

00:34:31.320 Uh-huh.

00:34:31.700 And what would any normal human being do

00:34:35.020 in a situation in which they would make more money

00:34:39.620 by lying and exaggerating than playing it straight?

00:34:45.240 What happens in 100% of those cases over time?

00:34:49.020 100% of the time, they're corrupt.

00:34:51.440 Not sometimes.

00:34:53.000 Not once in a while.

00:34:55.120 Not it happened a few times and I can name them.

00:34:57.440 No, 100% of the time.

00:34:59.160 You put any human being in a situation

00:35:01.800 where lying makes them rich

00:35:03.440 and telling the truth just makes them have a job,

00:35:07.080 they'll all lie.

00:35:10.180 You know, some might, you know, get to it sooner,

00:35:13.540 but everybody in that situation is going to lie.

00:35:17.420 Have you ever worked for a big corporation? 0.98

00:35:21.000 They're all liars. 0.88

00:35:22.920 Every department, every manager, 1.00

00:35:25.960 they're all lying all the time.

00:35:27.920 All the time.

00:35:30.460 It never turns off.

00:35:31.820 Do you know why?

00:35:33.240 They make more money by lying.

00:35:36.460 That's the whole story.

00:35:38.500 Yeah, a corporate incentive structure is

00:35:40.680 whoever does the best work

00:35:42.500 and people notice,

00:35:45.120 the noticing is the important part,

00:35:47.220 they get the most money in the promotions.

00:35:49.040 So it's a system which, by its design,

00:35:55.300 guarantees that all the participants will be liars.

00:35:59.320 You get that, right?

00:36:00.480 By design.

00:36:02.680 By design.

00:36:04.440 You're paid for who thinks you did the best job,

00:36:07.160 not who did the best job.

00:36:08.760 And so people are lying to get the big promotions.

00:36:11.760 Everybody, all the time.

00:36:12.900 Have you ever seen anybody's, like,

00:36:16.000 list of accomplishments in a company?

00:36:18.860 Oh, here are my monthly accomplishments.

00:36:21.240 You'd be like, okay, all right,

00:36:23.540 it's a pretty long list of accomplishments.

00:36:25.700 You know, I do notice that,

00:36:26.900 the one at the top there,

00:36:28.580 that actually was,

00:36:30.360 that was last quarter.

00:36:33.400 And, you know,

00:36:34.060 I asked you about your accomplishments this quarter.

00:36:36.800 So I won't count that one,

00:36:38.160 because that was last quarter.

00:36:39.180 But, you know,

00:36:39.700 there's still a lot of them on here.

00:36:41.680 Let's see, you participated.

00:36:43.280 Well, here's the,

00:36:44.020 you just participated.

00:36:46.040 Yeah, I'm not sure you were responsible for this.

00:36:48.580 You were just sort of

00:36:49.320 attended some meetings.

00:36:51.200 But you've got this as an accomplishment.

00:36:53.760 Okay.

00:36:54.760 And then, let's see,

00:36:55.680 there's a,

00:36:56.260 your other accomplishments are,

00:36:58.120 oh, it looks like you lowered expenses.

00:37:00.400 That's great.

00:37:01.360 But, hold on,

00:37:02.220 let me read this more carefully.

00:37:03.720 You lowered expenses,

00:37:05.640 oh, from what they could have been,

00:37:07.420 not what they were.

00:37:10.680 So things could have been worse.

00:37:12.560 So you're taking the,

00:37:14.100 what could have been worse

00:37:15.240 as your benefit.

00:37:16.540 I'm not sure that counts.

00:37:18.140 And by the time you're done,

00:37:19.240 there are no accomplishments.

00:37:21.480 Like, all corporate people

00:37:22.920 know how to make nothing into something.

00:37:26.000 And you all have to do it,

00:37:27.360 even at the employee level.

00:37:29.480 So, no.

00:37:30.300 Now, look at the ADL.

00:37:33.080 Does the ADL find some really bad people

00:37:35.780 and call them out?

00:37:36.700 Of course.

00:37:38.280 Yeah, they've got a staff.

00:37:39.320 They've got to get to do some work.

00:37:40.560 If they run out of really bad people,

00:37:43.280 are they done?

00:37:45.940 Do you think they ever have a meeting

00:37:47.200 and say,

00:37:47.560 wow,

00:37:48.660 it looks like we've got everybody.

00:37:51.660 And the few new ones,

00:37:52.960 we're getting them as they come.

00:37:54.740 I mean,

00:37:55.100 we're just,

00:37:55.420 we're just getting them all.

00:37:57.020 So, everybody,

00:37:58.000 you can,

00:37:58.540 you know,

00:37:59.140 you can lower your efforts.

00:38:00.980 We've got everything covered.

00:38:02.120 We've found all the anti-Semitism.

00:38:04.200 We've called it all out.

00:38:05.320 We've done what we can.

00:38:07.020 No.

00:38:08.000 The,

00:38:08.240 the,

00:38:08.740 by design,

00:38:10.800 entities are designed to grow.

00:38:13.860 Growth is the default

00:38:15.160 for any,

00:38:16.420 any entity.

00:38:17.540 It always wants to grow.

00:38:19.280 Because when you're shrinking,

00:38:20.540 you're unhappy.

00:38:21.700 When you're growing,

00:38:22.460 you're happy.

00:38:23.340 Oh,

00:38:23.640 I'm in the right place.

00:38:24.960 I'm definitely in the right place.

00:38:26.420 This,

00:38:26.660 this thing's taken off.

00:38:27.680 So,

00:38:29.980 if you create an organization

00:38:31.420 to find discrimination,

00:38:33.400 they will first find

00:38:34.580 all of the real discrimination,

00:38:36.260 because that's the low-hanging,

00:38:37.440 you know,

00:38:38.060 fruit,

00:38:38.880 and then they will go after

00:38:40.260 fake things,

00:38:41.380 because that's where

00:38:42.620 their money is.

00:38:47.860 Steve Jacobs,

00:38:50.140 you know,

00:38:51.600 he's talking to somebody,

00:38:53.000 Jay is,

00:38:53.640 he says,

00:38:54.060 if you listen to Scott

00:38:55.100 at any speed,

00:38:55.900 he sounds like 1.00

00:38:56.680 an arrogant narcissist. 1.00

00:38:58.960 Now, 1.00

00:38:59.220 let me ask you,

00:39:00.360 who is it that calls

00:39:01.440 people narcissists?

00:39:05.280 Narcissists.

00:39:06.420 It's literally built 0.63

00:39:07.640 into the name.

00:39:09.520 If you go online

00:39:10.780 and say,

00:39:11.360 what is the main,

00:39:12.400 like,

00:39:13.220 main characteristic

00:39:14.080 of a narcissist,

00:39:15.480 they'll blame you

00:39:16.460 for being a narcissist.

00:39:17.820 It's like their main go-to.

00:39:20.660 It's like what

00:39:21.420 they're famous for.

00:39:24.360 Bet you didn't know that,

00:39:25.640 did you?

00:39:25.900 All right.

00:39:28.440 So,

00:39:29.000 if Musk sues

00:39:29.820 the ADL

00:39:30.400 out of business,

00:39:31.400 that would be one

00:39:32.300 of the best things

00:39:32.880 for the country,

00:39:33.480 and I do wonder

00:39:34.060 if they know

00:39:34.760 that they are

00:39:36.260 an existential threat

00:39:37.480 to America itself.

00:39:41.360 Would you agree

00:39:42.320 that free speech

00:39:43.400 is fundamentally

00:39:45.080 important for the

00:39:46.480 ongoing health

00:39:47.300 of the country?

00:39:48.100 You would,

00:39:48.600 right?

00:39:49.580 And would you agree

00:39:50.500 that they're getting rid

00:39:51.420 of free speech

00:39:52.060 as quickly as they can,

00:39:53.620 making it a sort of

00:39:54.720 a one-party speech

00:39:55.760 is okay?

00:39:56.720 Yeah.

00:39:58.260 They're getting rid

00:39:59.080 of the most important

00:40:00.260 part of the country.

00:40:01.480 They're doing it

00:40:02.280 publicly,

00:40:03.900 vigorously,

00:40:04.720 and transparently.

00:40:07.720 You can all

00:40:08.680 watch it yourself.

00:40:09.840 You don't even

00:40:10.180 have to wonder.

00:40:12.660 Yeah.

00:40:13.340 So,

00:40:13.600 they get rid

00:40:14.760 of some bad speech,

00:40:16.980 but even Greenblatt,

00:40:19.960 is that his name?

00:40:21.960 In 2016,

00:40:23.320 there's a video

00:40:23.780 of him saying

00:40:24.400 that they're not

00:40:25.580 trying to ban

00:40:26.200 anybody's speech.

00:40:27.640 They're only trying

00:40:28.680 to replace bad speech

00:40:30.320 with good speech

00:40:31.100 because that's how

00:40:31.680 you battle bad speech.

00:40:33.860 And then they went

00:40:34.540 after the advertisers

00:40:35.500 on X,

00:40:37.360 exactly the opposite

00:40:38.480 of what they say

00:40:39.760 they would do.

00:40:41.440 Tried to actually

00:40:42.280 just stop it

00:40:43.220 and make it

00:40:44.220 economically impossible.

00:40:46.000 Ruin reputations.

00:40:47.900 Defame people like me.

00:40:54.700 All right.

00:40:58.840 So,

00:40:59.780 Trump,

00:41:00.240 or Musk,

00:41:00.740 Musk said that

00:41:01.760 he would release

00:41:02.660 all the ADL

00:41:04.160 files

00:41:05.940 and documentations.

00:41:07.700 So,

00:41:08.220 we should be able

00:41:09.120 to see

00:41:09.640 the contacts

00:41:11.340 that ADL

00:41:12.120 made with old Twitter

00:41:13.420 so we can see

00:41:14.880 what they were

00:41:15.360 trying to ban

00:41:15.980 and why.

00:41:17.740 Do you think

00:41:18.440 I'll be on the list?

00:41:21.460 It depends

00:41:22.760 when the list

00:41:23.580 was put together,

00:41:24.300 I guess.

00:41:29.280 They came for the turds

00:41:30.600 and I did not speak out

00:41:31.700 because I was not

00:41:32.360 a turd.

00:41:32.960 That's funny.

00:41:40.980 So,

00:41:41.500 yeah,

00:41:41.760 the ADL

00:41:42.480 is an existential

00:41:43.680 threat to the country

00:41:44.840 and do you know

00:41:46.080 what they would say

00:41:46.680 about that?

00:41:48.440 I must be a racist.

00:41:51.060 Guess what?

00:41:53.200 That's what they say

00:41:54.100 to that.

00:41:55.740 All right.

00:41:56.120 Alexander Vindman,

00:42:03.400 the least credible

00:42:05.480 person in America,

00:42:07.340 he said that

00:42:08.280 he said that

00:42:11.060 companies that

00:42:12.040 he said this today

00:42:13.080 or yesterday maybe,

00:42:14.640 companies that

00:42:15.220 continue to advertise

00:42:16.440 on X

00:42:17.340 are sponsoring

00:42:18.440 anti-Semitism.

00:42:19.460 who's apparent

00:42:24.580 to me

00:42:25.060 that Elon Musk

00:42:26.180 tweeting against

00:42:26.940 the ADL

00:42:27.620 and Jay Greenblatt

00:42:29.220 is targeting

00:42:30.400 them for harassment.

00:42:34.220 Now,

00:42:34.940 is that the

00:42:35.480 narcissism thing?

00:42:37.880 The ADL

00:42:39.040 is an entity

00:42:40.980 that targets

00:42:41.620 people for harassment.

00:42:43.800 That's sort of

00:42:44.780 their entire job.

00:42:46.440 And he's saying

00:42:46.960 that if you

00:42:47.480 complain about them

00:42:48.480 targeting you

00:42:49.200 for harassment,

00:42:50.380 you've targeted

00:42:51.140 them for harassment.

00:42:53.560 Do you see

00:42:54.240 how all this works?

00:42:56.920 If they attack you

00:42:59.280 and you complain

00:43:00.080 about it,

00:43:00.640 then you're twice 0.88

00:43:01.240 as bad as you were

00:43:02.740 before they even

00:43:03.340 attacked you

00:43:03.980 because you've

00:43:04.840 complained about it too.

00:43:08.280 Yes,

00:43:08.800 I've called Trump 0.91

00:43:09.500 a grandiose narcissist 0.84

00:43:10.780 and I've called myself.

00:43:12.720 If you'd like

00:43:13.440 to argue about

00:43:14.220 narcissism,

00:43:15.640 you should go

00:43:16.080 study up,

00:43:17.120 but don't just 1.00

00:43:17.780 shout stupid things 1.00

00:43:18.740 in the comments. 1.00

00:43:20.800 All right?

00:43:21.720 So learn

00:43:22.520 that there's two types,

00:43:24.800 learn the difference,

00:43:26.260 and then come back.

00:43:27.680 But don't just,

00:43:28.320 you know,

00:43:28.640 yell things

00:43:29.520 with narcissists 0.62

00:43:30.360 in the sentence

00:43:31.000 that you don't

00:43:31.720 know anything about.

00:43:33.060 Get a little more,

00:43:34.280 a little more depth

00:43:35.520 in your understanding

00:43:36.480 and then you can

00:43:38.420 come back.

00:43:43.820 All right.

00:43:48.700 Sounds more like

00:43:49.560 circular logic.

00:43:51.320 Hmm.

00:43:56.180 What is Vindman's deal?

00:43:58.320 Well,

00:43:58.680 I don't know,

00:43:59.420 but he doesn't act

00:44:00.400 like he's on the side

00:44:01.280 of America.

00:44:01.840 I mean,

00:44:04.120 sometimes you say,

00:44:05.120 oh,

00:44:05.260 it's a different opinion,

00:44:06.700 but he doesn't act

00:44:07.720 like it's just

00:44:08.860 a different opinion.

00:44:10.360 He acts like

00:44:11.240 there's something

00:44:11.800 going on

00:44:12.420 that we don't

00:44:12.920 understand.

00:44:16.480 All right.

00:44:17.520 Are you loving

00:44:18.280 the story

00:44:18.860 about the 15

00:44:20.160 well-dressed

00:44:20.880 Nazis in Florida

00:44:22.400 who,

00:44:24.400 Rolling Stone

00:44:25.240 reported

00:44:25.820 they were

00:44:27.000 DeSantis followers

00:44:28.020 because they mocked

00:44:29.220 DeSantis

00:44:29.680 and said

00:44:30.220 F DeSantis.

00:44:31.880 And so

00:44:32.300 the Rolling Stone

00:44:33.160 says they must

00:44:34.580 be DeSantis

00:44:35.760 supporters

00:44:36.640 because they say

00:44:37.460 they hate him.

00:44:39.220 So that's

00:44:40.060 the state

00:44:40.480 of your news.

00:44:42.000 But let me

00:44:43.060 ask you this.

00:44:45.280 If you think

00:44:46.260 that the Nazis, 0.53

00:44:47.660 those 15

00:44:48.660 well-dressed ones

00:44:49.800 who have some

00:44:50.480 kind of name

00:44:50.980 I don't care about,

00:44:52.600 if you think

00:44:53.820 that it's not

00:44:54.380 organic,

00:44:55.620 who do you

00:44:56.000 think's behind it?

00:44:56.900 Go.

00:44:57.780 Who do you

00:44:58.420 think would be

00:44:59.340 behind it

00:44:59.900 if it's not

00:45:00.580 organic?

00:45:02.620 You say the CIA?

00:45:03.960 Why would they

00:45:04.360 do that?

00:45:06.900 No, it's not

00:45:07.640 the ADL.

00:45:08.960 I doubt it's

00:45:09.460 the ADL.

00:45:11.700 FBI, you think?

00:45:19.120 There's one

00:45:19.820 entity that

00:45:20.520 you have not

00:45:21.100 considered.

00:45:24.220 Isn't there

00:45:24.780 one obvious

00:45:25.500 entity that

00:45:26.100 you have not

00:45:26.500 considered?

00:45:33.480 How are you

00:45:34.180 not getting

00:45:34.620 this?

00:45:35.900 This is weird.

00:45:39.920 Your suggestions

00:45:42.040 are all

00:45:42.560 completely,

00:45:44.620 there's like a

00:45:45.440 blind spot here

00:45:46.240 that's fascinating.

00:45:48.880 You really

00:45:49.780 don't see it.

00:45:52.140 Some of you

00:45:52.860 are saying,

00:45:53.220 Trump

00:45:53.640 and I

00:45:58.760 would say

00:45:59.080 more generally

00:45:59.640 Republicans.

00:46:02.240 Here's what

00:46:02.900 we know about

00:46:03.460 them.

00:46:05.580 They prefer

00:46:06.660 Biden over

00:46:07.500 Republicans

00:46:08.140 and they're

00:46:09.960 putting on a

00:46:10.620 public event

00:46:11.320 which reminds

00:46:12.100 you of,

00:46:13.840 what's it

00:46:14.200 remind you of?

00:46:16.340 Do they

00:46:17.040 remind you of

00:46:17.580 anything?

00:46:18.900 They're well

00:46:19.360 dressed,

00:46:20.600 they've got

00:46:21.060 really nice

00:46:21.560 flags.

00:46:26.000 Charlottesville.

00:46:27.160 Yeah.

00:46:27.940 It reminds you

00:46:28.560 of Charlottesville,

00:46:29.300 doesn't it?

00:46:30.320 Except isn't it

00:46:31.160 weird that they're

00:46:31.840 like opposite of

00:46:32.760 Charlottesville?

00:46:34.400 Isn't it funny

00:46:35.360 that there would

00:46:35.820 be neo-Nazis

00:46:37.160 who would be

00:46:38.580 marching,

00:46:40.100 like really the

00:46:40.820 opposite of

00:46:41.580 Charlottesville

00:46:42.080 because they're

00:46:42.580 pro-Biden.

00:46:44.060 And Biden

00:46:44.500 actually ran

00:46:45.320 for office

00:46:46.080 on the

00:46:47.440 find people

00:46:48.140 hoax

00:46:48.700 because Democrats

00:46:50.540 don't know

00:46:51.100 that that's a

00:46:51.580 hoax.

00:46:52.380 They think

00:46:52.740 it's real.

00:46:54.500 And then

00:46:54.800 now there's

00:46:55.340 this other

00:46:55.700 thing that

00:46:56.080 looks very

00:46:56.520 suspicious

00:46:57.040 that looks

00:46:58.680 like it's

00:46:59.840 almost like

00:47:00.760 mocking

00:47:01.420 the Charlottesville

00:47:03.320 event.

00:47:03.960 To me it's

00:47:05.740 so like

00:47:06.700 mirror copy

00:47:08.220 except this

00:47:08.900 one's

00:47:09.260 pro-Biden.

00:47:11.760 Interesting.

00:47:14.300 I'm just

00:47:15.120 going to say

00:47:15.600 that I don't

00:47:16.420 think there's

00:47:16.840 any chance

00:47:17.480 this is organic

00:47:18.120 in the sense

00:47:19.820 that I doubt

00:47:21.220 that they don't

00:47:21.680 have any

00:47:22.500 outside influence.

00:47:24.480 I don't know

00:47:25.320 the degree

00:47:25.960 of the influence

00:47:26.700 or exactly

00:47:27.200 who it is

00:47:27.780 but it would

00:47:29.000 be very

00:47:29.520 unusual

00:47:29.960 if they

00:47:31.160 did all

00:47:32.040 this and

00:47:32.460 didn't have

00:47:32.800 some kind

00:47:33.560 of outside

00:47:34.300 influence.

00:47:37.100 Do you think

00:47:37.660 they all bought

00:47:38.220 their own shirts

00:47:38.840 and flags?

00:47:42.160 I doubt it.

00:47:45.180 Do you think

00:47:45.960 any of them

00:47:46.460 are getting

00:47:46.840 any kind

00:47:47.300 of compensation?

00:47:50.920 I don't

00:47:51.520 know.

00:47:52.840 I don't

00:47:53.140 know.

00:47:53.720 But given

00:47:54.240 that they

00:47:55.940 seem to be

00:47:56.660 anti-Biden

00:47:57.600 or no

00:47:59.540 they seem

00:48:00.300 to be

00:48:00.860 pro-Biden

00:48:01.980 which in

00:48:03.100 the dirty

00:48:03.580 tricks world

00:48:04.280 would be

00:48:04.680 an anti-Biden

00:48:05.420 thing.

00:48:07.000 Right?

00:48:07.580 You get that?

00:48:08.780 If they say

00:48:09.380 they like

00:48:09.760 Biden but 0.98

00:48:10.520 they're Nazis 0.73

00:48:11.120 that may be

00:48:13.140 the trick

00:48:13.640 I just

00:48:18.180 wouldn't

00:48:18.620 make any

00:48:20.460 assumptions

00:48:20.920 about who

00:48:21.620 they really

00:48:22.080 are or what

00:48:22.860 they're really

00:48:23.220 up to.

00:48:24.600 But I will

00:48:25.580 say this

00:48:26.100 if it's a

00:48:27.380 Republican

00:48:27.840 dirty trick 0.84

00:48:28.660 it looks like

00:48:30.500 one.

00:48:31.660 It's really

00:48:32.400 clever. 0.51

00:48:33.740 It's really

00:48:34.520 clever. 0.51

00:48:34.860 because very

00:48:37.420 few of you

00:48:38.140 thought of it

00:48:39.460 as your

00:48:39.980 first take.

00:48:42.660 Now I don't

00:48:43.100 have any

00:48:43.880 inside information

00:48:44.720 so I don't

00:48:45.740 know.

00:48:46.700 But I will

00:48:47.420 tell you it

00:48:47.840 has all the

00:48:48.320 tells of a

00:48:50.000 very suspicious

00:48:50.860 thing.

00:48:52.180 So you have

00:48:52.660 to look at

00:48:53.120 who would

00:48:53.420 benefit from

00:48:54.080 it.

00:48:56.480 And that's

00:48:57.240 your answer.

00:48:57.720 The skiff

00:49:03.480 boats?

00:49:04.220 Yeah.

00:49:10.400 I heard

00:49:11.160 they said

00:49:11.620 they backed

00:49:12.140 DeSantis.

00:49:13.140 That was

00:49:13.700 fake news

00:49:14.540 in the

00:49:14.960 Rolling Stones.

00:49:15.920 Right.

00:49:16.520 They actually

00:49:17.120 said the

00:49:17.560 opposite.

00:49:18.840 But the

00:49:19.920 Rolling Stones

00:49:20.440 did a

00:49:20.820 Rupar

00:49:21.260 because they

00:49:22.700 were sarcastic.

00:49:24.400 They said

00:49:24.880 yeah we

00:49:25.640 support

00:49:26.040 DeSantis.

00:49:26.640 And then

00:49:27.800 they laughed

00:49:28.280 and said 1.00

00:49:28.640 fuck DeSantis. 1.00

00:49:30.840 So Rolling 1.00

00:49:31.700 Stone reported

00:49:32.660 their sarcasm

00:49:33.700 as their

00:49:35.560 actual opinion.

00:49:37.120 Even though

00:49:37.820 the rest of

00:49:38.320 the quote

00:49:38.760 was immediately

00:49:39.900 in the next

00:49:40.620 sentence.

00:49:41.860 Do you think

00:49:42.540 the Rolling

00:49:42.860 Stone didn't

00:49:43.360 know the

00:49:43.640 next sentence?

00:49:45.180 Do you think

00:49:45.700 they didn't

00:49:46.140 know that

00:49:47.700 they called

00:49:48.640 out very

00:49:49.120 clearly that

00:49:49.820 they were

00:49:50.040 being sarcastic?

00:49:51.380 Of course

00:49:51.780 they didn't.

00:49:52.880 They just

00:49:53.320 chose not to

00:49:54.060 write it that

00:49:54.620 way.

00:49:55.300 Of course

00:49:55.720 they knew.

00:49:56.640 Yeah of

00:49:57.420 course.

00:50:02.400 Qui

00:50:02.960 bono?

00:50:03.780 Yes.

00:50:06.280 Qui

00:50:06.600 bono means

00:50:07.340 who benefited

00:50:08.040 right?

00:50:09.740 For the

00:50:10.560 non-lawyers?

00:50:12.740 When you

00:50:13.320 hear somebody

00:50:13.740 in the

00:50:13.960 comments say

00:50:14.540 qui

00:50:14.860 bono?

00:50:15.800 It's sort

00:50:16.180 of like

00:50:16.420 follow the

00:50:16.920 money right?

00:50:18.400 Sort

00:50:18.660 of a

00:50:18.900 follow the

00:50:19.320 money even

00:50:20.660 if it's

00:50:20.980 not money

00:50:21.380 situation.

00:50:21.940 All right.

00:50:27.140 Who

00:50:27.620 profits

00:50:28.060 exactly?

00:50:29.840 What's a

00:50:30.280 rupar?

00:50:30.980 A rupar

00:50:31.700 is a

00:50:32.520 edited

00:50:33.100 video or

00:50:34.140 audio

00:50:34.580 or in

00:50:35.560 this case

00:50:36.020 a quote

00:50:36.520 which

00:50:37.840 reverses

00:50:39.880 the meaning

00:50:40.500 of what

00:50:41.360 somebody

00:50:41.720 said

00:50:42.200 in a way

00:50:44.900 that you

00:50:45.600 could never

00:50:46.100 imagine it

00:50:46.700 could be

00:50:47.000 reversed.

00:50:47.440 For

00:50:48.380 example

00:50:48.780 if you

00:50:49.460 read that

00:50:50.000 the

00:50:50.400 Nazi

00:50:52.400 guy 0.97

00:50:52.780 if you

00:50:53.920 read that

00:50:54.300 his real

00:50:54.820 words were

00:50:55.660 we support

00:50:57.220 DeSantis

00:50:57.740 could you

00:51:00.120 ever in

00:51:00.500 your mind

00:51:00.920 imagine

00:51:01.400 that there

00:51:02.160 was anything

00:51:02.640 that was

00:51:03.100 edited out

00:51:03.740 of that

00:51:04.080 that would

00:51:04.920 reverse it

00:51:05.620 to the

00:51:06.100 opposite of

00:51:06.900 we support

00:51:07.460 DeSantis?

00:51:08.380 No your 0.75

00:51:08.860 brain can't

00:51:09.520 do it.

00:51:10.400 So if

00:51:10.640 your brain

00:51:11.080 says okay

00:51:12.260 maybe it's

00:51:13.480 not the

00:51:13.800 exact quote

00:51:14.640 but it's

00:51:15.420 not the

00:51:15.740 reverse of

00:51:16.460 the quote

00:51:16.880 right

00:51:17.660 you would

00:51:18.120 never guess

00:51:18.620 it's the

00:51:18.940 opposite

00:51:19.300 your brain

00:51:20.360 just doesn't

00:51:20.880 go there

00:51:21.300 so that's

00:51:22.620 why it

00:51:22.880 works

00:51:23.240 because there

00:51:24.340 are actually

00:51:24.800 a lot of

00:51:25.260 things you

00:51:25.680 can turn to

00:51:26.240 their opposite

00:51:26.780 if you

00:51:28.000 if you

00:51:28.520 choose

00:51:28.800 correctly

00:51:29.220 that's what

00:51:29.920 the fine

00:51:30.300 people hoax

00:51:30.860 was

00:51:31.280 etc.

00:51:34.900 Yeah we're

00:51:35.700 the Rupar

00:51:36.220 repair team

00:51:36.920 Rupar

00:51:37.620 repairs

00:51:38.120 there's a

00:51:40.280 deep fake

00:51:40.820 of DeSantis

00:51:41.420 dropping out

00:51:42.460 Sonny

00:51:47.440 Bono 0.92

00:51:47.940 you kick 0.95

00:51:54.480 yourself 0.99

00:51:54.860 when I

00:51:55.160 laugh at

00:51:55.480 your jokes

00:51:56.040 okay

00:51:56.560 all right

00:51:58.180 what else

00:51:58.540 is going

00:51:58.820 on

00:51:59.080 that's all

00:51:59.400 I got

00:51:59.620 for now

00:51:59.980 so YouTube

00:52:01.000 I'm going to

00:52:01.380 say bye

00:52:01.780 it's going to

00:52:02.840 be a weird

00:52:03.260 small week

00:52:03.920 this week

00:52:04.640 probably not

00:52:05.240 a lot of

00:52:05.520 news

00:52:05.840 oh here's

00:52:06.880 the other

00:52:07.140 thing about

00:52:07.580 the Nazis 0.71

00:52:08.260 did you

00:52:09.780 notice that

00:52:10.340 they were

00:52:10.720 suspiciously

00:52:11.560 timed

00:52:12.020 for a

00:52:13.400 known

00:52:14.080 slow news

00:52:14.960 period

00:52:15.380 anybody

00:52:16.460 notice that

00:52:17.120 sort of

00:52:18.100 the dog

00:52:18.440 not barking

00:52:18.960 situation

00:52:19.580 that when

00:52:21.000 kids go

00:52:21.520 back to

00:52:21.900 school

00:52:22.340 and you

00:52:22.820 know

00:52:22.920 around

00:52:23.160 now

00:52:23.520 especially

00:52:24.860 a three

00:52:25.260 day weekend

00:52:25.860 pretty much

00:52:26.900 the news

00:52:27.420 stops

00:52:27.960 so what

00:52:30.920 are the

00:52:31.140 odds

00:52:31.520 that the

00:52:32.220 Nazis

00:52:32.640 knew

00:52:33.300 that that

00:52:34.280 was a

00:52:34.600 slow

00:52:34.900 news

00:52:35.220 period

00:52:35.640 do you

00:52:36.760 remember

00:52:37.040 when the

00:52:37.640 Charlottesville

00:52:38.360 March

00:52:39.140 happened

00:52:39.520 do you

00:52:41.080 remember

00:52:41.280 when that

00:52:41.580 happened

00:52:41.920 it was

00:52:43.520 in the

00:52:43.800 summer

00:52:44.120 do you

00:52:45.560 know what

00:52:45.780 happens in

00:52:46.240 the summer

00:52:46.640 no news

00:52:48.480 so when

00:52:50.320 you see

00:52:50.640 an op

00:52:51.120 like that

00:52:51.720 that somehow

00:52:52.680 knows when

00:52:53.400 there's not

00:52:53.820 going to be

00:52:54.120 any other

00:52:54.620 news

00:52:54.980 competing

00:52:55.420 with it

00:52:55.940 is that

00:52:57.420 a coincidence

00:52:57.920 is that

00:52:58.900 something the

00:52:59.440 Nazis figured

00:53:00.180 out on their

00:53:00.720 own

00:53:00.920 do you think

00:53:01.680 the Nazis 0.71

00:53:02.120 were thinking

00:53:02.640 alright

00:53:02.900 given the

00:53:03.620 news cycle

00:53:04.140 if we

00:53:05.540 get it near

00:53:06.240 the labor

00:53:06.680 day

00:53:07.020 there's not

00:53:07.840 going to be

00:53:08.080 a lot

00:53:08.280 of news

00:53:08.800 so then

00:53:09.900 we'll have

00:53:10.200 more

00:53:10.500 exposure

00:53:11.320 or is it

00:53:13.180 just a

00:53:13.520 coincidence

00:53:13.820 that they

00:53:14.380 chose so 0.99
