And if you'd like to take your experience up to levels
00:00:13.920
that I don't think we've seen since, oh, the...
00:00:23.860
Is there something called the Upper Dryas Period or something?
00:00:30.000
But if I'd thought of that, it would have been funny.
00:00:32.700
Anyway, if you'd like your experience to be maximized,
00:00:40.060
Why is there no Older Dryas if there's a Younger Dryas Period?
00:00:49.260
But if you'd like this experience to be special,
00:00:52.200
all you need is a cup of margarita glass, a tanker,
00:00:54.060
chalice, a stein, a canteen, a jug, a flask, a vessel of any kind,
00:01:06.580
Oh, there is an Older Dryas and a Younger Dryas.
00:01:32.260
and he rarely misses an opportunity to get attention for free.
00:01:39.940
So, of course, people have been asking him if he'd like to be the Speaker of the House,
00:01:44.200
which would be a ridiculous thing if you're running for president.
00:01:49.640
It would be kind of ridiculous for him to be the Speaker of the House while he's running for president.
00:01:54.440
On the other hand, oh, my God, would it be fun and interesting and make a story.
00:02:01.380
So, naturally, he backs Jim Jordan, so he's doing the reasonable thing.
00:02:08.180
But then he says he'd be open to doing it temporarily, just to unite the country.
00:02:13.520
Now, I can't think of anything that would unite the country less than Trump,
00:02:26.600
But just the fact that he doesn't close off that option is what makes him Trump.
00:02:35.400
Anybody else would have said, oh, no, I'm running for president.
00:02:42.580
I mean, all my attention is running for president.
00:02:45.380
I don't want to, you know, disappoint my supporters by, you know,
00:02:50.460
diverting my attention and not being serious about running for president.
00:02:53.840
I mean, that would be the obvious thing to say.
00:02:58.680
Trump knows that if he dangles that little bit of possibility,
00:03:02.680
that he could be the Speaker of the House and then also president.
00:03:07.840
And apparently it would give him two ways to be president.
00:03:10.200
One would be impeaching Biden and Kamala Harris as Speaker of the House,
00:03:16.620
which would make him president, which would be the most awesome thing ever.
00:03:26.460
Well, have you noticed that a lot of what we call politics,
00:03:32.580
we've been bamboozled into thinking that mental health problems are political opinions?
00:03:43.820
Now, you could say there's a fine line between being emotional and invested
00:04:02.720
He does have some, let's say, reported ties to the intelligence community.
00:04:25.440
The moment you realize it looks like he's just doing a job,
00:04:42.260
And then I realized he has intelligence connections.
00:04:45.600
And I thought, oh, if I just looked at it like he was being paid to tweet,
00:04:52.680
So the last several tweets, I look at him and I go,
00:05:01.480
But here are some of the topics which I think we've conflated mental health
00:05:13.640
Climate change is, you know, a scientific domain,
00:05:18.120
and it's a political domain, but not the way we talk about it.
00:05:22.300
The way we talk about it is with a mental health attitude first.
00:05:27.620
You know, people are afraid and not having babies and, you know,
00:05:43.240
but then on top of it, a whole bunch of bad mental health.
00:05:46.440
Not just, I'm not talking about the people who are transitioning.
00:05:50.740
Some of them also would have some mental health issues.
00:05:53.160
But I'm talking about the ones, the parents, mostly the mothers.
00:05:58.240
A lot of that looks like just bad mental health playing out.
00:06:01.520
School shootings may or may not have something to do with bad mental health,
00:06:08.240
Maybe has something to do with the way they were treated,
00:06:11.880
What about the fact that the Democrats are suggesting
00:06:27.980
in a country that didn't have a huge mental health TDS problem?
00:06:32.500
I mean, that's just Trump derangement syndrome right there.
00:06:35.380
So once again, mental health has been conflated with policy
00:06:40.500
because this is a policy based on bad mental health,
00:06:43.920
the idea that there's some group of MAGA people
00:06:51.480
How about mandatory vaccinations and mandatory masks,
00:06:59.140
Given what we currently know, that's a mental health problem,
00:07:04.800
I mean, there's also money involved, which is why we do anything,
00:07:17.260
So these are in domains that have something real about them,
00:07:20.980
but the mask part is pretty much a mental health problem.
00:07:26.060
How about the open borders and the sanctuary cities?
00:07:29.360
There are no honest, mentally healthy people who are in favor of that.
00:07:40.340
And we pretend like these are like valid opinions and stuff.
00:07:44.000
There's no valid opinion for keeping the border open.
00:07:50.040
and or the cartels are working with our government.
00:08:13.840
So we're treating everything like it's a policy question
00:08:16.540
when we're just like massively mentally unhealthy.
00:08:25.200
So apparently September is being reported as the hottest September
00:08:36.920
Do you think that the idea that we can measure the temperature of the Earth
00:08:49.540
Or is it a bad understanding of what can and cannot be done?
00:09:08.960
that we can confidently track the temperature of the whole Earth.
00:09:21.440
Which is not to say we don't have some kind of a warming issue.
00:09:27.800
But the fact that we can measure the temperature within one degree
00:09:32.240
Well, I found out something more about that Democrat leftist activist
00:09:41.500
And it was noted that he and the journalist who got gunned down in his home
00:09:47.220
had both interacted with me on Twitter right before they died,
00:09:57.500
so it's not like I'd ever noticed their tweets.
00:10:00.320
I don't think I'd ever responded to them before.
00:10:06.720
the first instance I saw where he had interacted with me,
00:10:10.220
I couldn't even tell if he was being a troll or a critic.
00:10:13.660
It was sort of an obtuse, kind of weird comment.
00:10:24.440
in which he had responded to something I said that was very smart,
00:10:33.220
Damn, this is some of the dumbest shit I've ever seen.
00:10:39.040
So after he said that I tweeted some of the dumbest shit I've ever seen,
00:10:50.160
So I'm having a real tough time feeling bad for people
00:11:30.480
I'm just going to tell you who my next target is.
00:13:25.320
because it's definitely going to get broken into
