Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2268 Scott Adams： CWSA 10⧸21⧸23

00:00:00.000 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the Highlight of Human Civilization, which is

00:00:06.680 now available only on Locals, because all the other platforms are broken today, for

00:00:12.260 reasons that I could figure out.

00:00:14.940 I spent all of my time trying to do it and did lots of live streams that didn't work

00:00:20.360 until it did, and I tried every single thing.

00:00:23.560 But I don't have time to do that this morning, so today it's all you.

00:00:27.220 If you'd like to take your experience up a level, all you need is a cup or mug or glass,

00:00:32.540 a tank or chalice or stein, a canteen jug or flask, a vessel of any kind, fill it with

00:00:37.100 your favorite liquid.

00:00:39.020 I like coffee.

00:00:40.460 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine at the end of the day, the thing

00:00:45.060 that makes everything better.

00:00:46.560 It's called a simultaneous sip, and it happens now.

00:00:50.180 Go.

00:00:54.840 Ah, so good.

00:00:57.220 So, so good.

00:01:01.480 Well, Italian politics is more fun than ours.

00:01:04.220 I don't know if you do this, but the Italian prime minister, Giorgio Milani, she publicly

00:01:11.320 broke up with her partner over lewd behavior on his television show.

00:01:16.740 I guess he's a host on some newsy entertainment show.

00:01:20.280 And he, he was seen off camera, but the camera was on, hitting on a coworker and asking if 0.99

00:01:27.980 he could play with his genitals while he talked to her. 0.99

00:01:33.140 So that was the boyfriend of Italy's prime minister. 1.00

00:01:37.800 So she dumped his ass after several years together and a child, and she's like, done with that 1.00

00:01:44.160 guy. 1.00

00:01:45.640 I've got a feeling that's not the first time he ever flirted.

00:01:48.380 Just in, Israel has decided to shut down some news bureaus, I think Al Jazeera.

00:02:00.440 So they're going to shut down Al Jazeera access.

00:02:05.240 They got rid of that channel in Israel.

00:02:09.040 Now, do you remember when you thought that free speech was a real thing?

00:02:13.520 I think this is the year that I finally realized, hey, it was never real.

00:02:23.380 It was never real.

00:02:30.960 Yeah, no, it turns out that nobody ever had free speech.

00:02:34.720 The only free speech anybody has is to be uninteresting to the government.

00:02:41.800 That's it.

00:02:42.480 As soon as the government is interested, they say, well, we have free speech, but I

00:02:48.020 have to change this one thing because there's a reason.

00:02:52.220 How hard is it for them to come up with a reason?

00:02:54.740 They just have to be interested.

00:02:56.820 So we've always had this illusion that we had free speech because we could say things

00:03:01.000 that agreed with the government.

00:03:03.120 And then we're like, yeah, you can word it any way you want.

00:03:06.120 It's free.

00:03:08.280 So anyway, we don't have free speech in America.

00:03:11.100 Israel doesn't have free speech. 0.88

00:03:13.020 And nobody has free speech in a time of war.

00:03:16.260 You know, as soon as a war breaks out, that's the end of free speech.

00:03:19.220 It will always be thus.

00:03:21.920 Bill Maher is being tough on colleges.

00:03:23.840 He's basically, his advice to young people is don't go to college because it makes you 1.00

00:03:27.960 dumber. 0.99

00:03:28.240 And then he gave lots of, you know, lots of reasons such as supporting Hamas. 0.99

00:03:35.080 So I don't think we need to go into that.

00:03:37.060 But it's just interesting that Bill Maher is saying it directly and out loud that the colleges

00:03:42.240 are broken and they're not making you better people.

00:03:44.860 So Joe Rogan is talking about how the risk that our open borders are letting in lots of terrorists

00:03:55.560 makes it almost kind of predictable that we're going to have some kind of terror attack that

00:04:00.700 looks a lot like Hamas attacking Israel.

00:04:03.500 Now, the interesting part about that is that Elon Musk replied to an ex-post about that.

00:04:14.760 And Musk said that given that the border is wide open as a matter of policy by the current

00:04:19.260 administration, it is simply a matter of time before this happens, if it has not happened

00:04:24.000 already.

00:04:25.240 Happened meaning lots of terrorists coming in to attack the country.

00:04:29.160 Now, you agree with that, right?

00:04:31.240 Right.

00:04:33.500 Well, what else could happen?

00:04:35.420 It's not like there are two things that could happen.

00:04:38.280 In our current situation, if you allow people to come in just because they claimed asylum, 0.51

00:04:44.000 how do you not have major terrorist attacks?

00:04:47.220 What would be any way that could not happen?

00:04:50.820 I can't think of one.

00:04:53.420 So the weird thing about this is that it's right in front of us.

00:05:00.780 And yet, on the ex-platform, somebody replied to me saying that it's a myth that the border is open.

00:05:09.760 In 2023, somebody said that's a myth.

00:05:14.040 And they pointed to that Axios article.

00:05:17.160 And the Axios article basically ignored the asylum part of it and just talked about how the, you know,

00:05:24.740 the border security and fencing is better than it was.

00:05:30.200 How do people watching this topic not know that the real problem is that people are coming in completely legally, but shouldn't?

00:05:38.040 All they have to do is say, asylum, and come in the front door and we just say, come on in.

00:05:44.300 Get back to us in seven months.

00:05:46.340 And somehow, there are people who don't know that, the most important thing.

00:05:51.740 That they don't have to sneak across the border.

00:05:53.880 They just say, asylum, here's my name.

00:05:56.620 See you in seven months or not.

00:05:58.240 All right, so that's happening, the complete abandonment of security for the country.

00:06:06.560 There was a big rally last night in support of the Palestinians in New York City.

00:06:11.180 And I saw a video of it.

00:06:12.900 It was a big, big crowd supporting the Palestinians in Gaza.

00:06:17.060 And I'm no expert on fundraising, but wouldn't that be the perfect place to raise funds to donate to the Palestinians in Gaza?

00:06:30.480 I mean, I would just be collecting money like crazy because these people not only care,

00:06:36.300 but they care enough to, like, give up their evening, Friday night, and go out and march in the weather and everything.

00:06:42.620 So those are people who really care.

00:06:44.160 I would ask them for their money.

00:06:45.220 Or is it possible that they don't have money, and they think that somebody else should be paying that money?

00:06:51.860 I'm just wondering.

00:06:52.860 I don't know.

00:06:54.480 But yeah, let's, in fact, I was thinking of organizing rallies that support the innocent Palestinians, not the Hamas.

00:07:07.120 But the ones who were just victims in Gaza.

00:07:10.920 I should organize some big demonstrations on their behalf and collect money from all the participants.

00:07:18.080 Is that a good idea?

00:07:19.960 I think it's a great idea.

00:07:22.520 All right. 0.95

00:07:22.860 There's more CNN porn about Trump. 0.96

00:07:29.300 Now, CNN porn is when CNN reports a story. 0.76

00:07:32.980 It puts a spin on it that sounds like the walls are closing in on Trump.

00:07:37.900 And then all their readers read it and go, oh, oh, I got it now.

00:07:43.000 Oh, the walls are closing in.

00:07:45.320 So the latest walls are closing in story, which my smart Democrat friend I've mentioned a lot,

00:07:52.660 my smart Democrat friend immediately texted me to say that this lawyer, Kenneth Chesbro,

00:08:01.240 cheesebro.

00:08:01.760 Really, is he a cheesebro?

00:08:05.600 I hope it's Chesbro.

00:08:07.920 I hate to think he's sort of a cheesebro.

00:08:10.600 Hey, got some Gouda?

00:08:13.580 Cheesebro.

00:08:15.120 Got some Parmesan over there?

00:08:17.440 I feel like that's the way it would go if it's cheesebro.

00:08:19.800 I hope it's Chesbro or something like that.

00:08:22.260 But anyway, he's a pro-Trump attorney.

00:08:23.860 And he's one of the ones who was involved with the January 6th, you know, planning to see

00:08:29.740 what they could do about it, I say without spin.

00:08:33.840 And he has taken a deal, took a deal.

00:08:39.020 And part of his deal is that he will, he agrees to testify in the Trump trial.

00:08:48.120 So do you know what the Democrats say when they hear that somebody who worked with Trump

00:08:53.860 is getting ready to testify?

00:08:55.760 Honestly, here's what the Democrats do.

00:08:59.500 Oh, God.

00:09:00.920 Since we know he's guilty, we're going to start with the result, because that's how they think.

00:09:06.280 They don't have the whole cause and effect thing worked out quite in their minds.

00:09:09.800 So they start with the end point.

00:09:12.060 He's definitely guilty because he's Trump.

00:09:15.340 And Trump is guilty.

00:09:17.300 And he's Trump.

00:09:19.200 So therefore, ipso facto QED, he's Trump and he's guilty.

00:09:23.860 And he's Trump.

00:09:24.820 So therefore, he's guilty.

00:09:26.120 Sorry.

00:09:26.540 We'll start with that as our assumption.

00:09:28.760 And then we'll see what happens today.

00:09:31.440 There's a lawyer who knows the good stuff.

00:09:34.160 He knows the truth.

00:09:35.640 And he's going to be testifying about Trump, who, because he's Trump, must be guilty.

00:09:40.500 And he's guilty because he's Trump.

00:09:42.420 Therefore, logically, this lawyer will have bad stuff to say about him, because that's part

00:09:47.820 of his plea deal.

00:09:48.540 He has to tell the truth.

00:09:49.460 So he'll tell the truth. 0.99

00:09:51.080 And the truth will be bad for Trump, because Trump is bad, because he's bad. 0.97

00:09:58.500 Yeah. 0.56

00:09:59.160 I actually had to deal with that yesterday.

00:10:01.140 You know what the real story is?

00:10:06.440 We have no idea.

00:10:09.360 We have no idea what the real story is.

00:10:11.580 But I'll tell you what it looks like to me, my non-TDSIs.

00:10:16.840 Now, maybe I have a bias in the other direction.

00:10:19.280 Totally possible.

00:10:20.520 I wouldn't know it if it were the case.

00:10:22.960 But here's what it looks like.

00:10:24.020 It looks like both Sidney Powell and Kenneth Chisbrough were way overcharged.

00:10:33.540 And now the prosecutors are reversing it because it wasn't sustainable.

00:10:38.560 So they just brought it down to the minimum thing that somebody would say yes to, just

00:10:43.080 to, you know, get it out of their life.

00:10:45.700 And then he said yes to it.

00:10:47.300 And that's the whole story.

00:10:48.500 They were overcharged, so they bled down to a little thing, said they would tell the

00:10:54.720 truth if they were on trial, which all lawyers say yes to.

00:10:58.920 You think that there's a working lawyer who's going to say, well, if I testify, I was thinking

00:11:04.360 about maybe not telling the truth.

00:11:06.500 No.

00:11:07.300 This story tells you literally nothing about Trump.

00:11:12.140 Literally nothing.

00:11:14.300 And there are people celebrating it because they learned literally nothing.

00:11:19.160 But their TDS was triggered, so their dopamine got a hit, and they're just trembling and

00:11:25.100 excitement.

00:11:26.360 I don't think it's going to turn out the way they think.

00:11:28.800 That's my prediction.

00:11:31.500 Well, the operations center in Washington, D.C. had to put out a long list of suggestions

00:11:38.320 about how not to be killed or robbed if you leave the building in the Capitol Hill area.

00:11:44.980 Apparently, it's so dangerous that you need to be given instructions on surviving walking

00:11:51.620 outdoors.

00:11:53.440 I'm not joking.

00:11:55.320 They had to give them survival instructions for walking outdoors locally.

00:12:04.280 That's real.

00:12:05.500 There's no exaggeration there.

00:12:07.420 They had to tell them how to survive just going outdoors because of all the crime.

00:12:11.300 And among the things they're teaching them is how to surrender their goods.

00:12:18.040 So they're being taught to peacefully give over their car to the carjackers.

00:12:23.820 That's the advice.

00:12:25.560 Yeah.

00:12:25.720 So they're actually being taught to surrender to the criminals.

00:12:31.660 Okay.

00:12:32.740 In a totally unrelated story, do you know Zuby?

00:12:36.940 Everybody knows Zuby from the X platform and other places.

00:12:41.640 He's a rapper.

00:12:42.460 He's a political philosopher, all-around good guy.

00:12:46.100 And he posted this today.

00:12:50.960 He said, if you can't help someone with a victim mentality, then distance yourself from

00:12:55.960 them.

00:12:57.780 No.

00:12:58.720 If you can't help someone with a victim mentality, you should distance yourself from them.

00:13:06.820 You know what I thought when I read that? 0.76

00:13:08.580 I thought, you know, I wish I'd worded it that way while being black.

00:13:16.580 I wouldn't have been canceled.

00:13:18.760 But you know, Zuby is saying exactly what I said.

00:13:21.920 He just says it better.

00:13:23.820 Right.

00:13:24.360 I got canceled globally for saying what Zuby can post anytime he wants.

00:13:30.580 What's the difference?

00:13:33.640 Oh, yeah.

00:13:35.260 I'm starting to think there might be a pattern here.

00:13:38.580 Well, I love the story about Trump's gag order, where he's not supposed to say bad things

00:13:45.680 about the prosecutor or the judge or the witnesses in his upcoming case.

00:13:51.240 But apparently there was still some reference to a mean tweet that was on his campaign website.

00:14:00.960 Now, the mean tweet had been deleted, or it was actually a truth.

00:14:03.960 The mean truth from his truth network had been deleted.

00:14:09.200 So he was complying with the gag order.

00:14:12.340 But apparently there was an oversight, and they didn't realize it was still on some page on the campaign page.

00:14:19.340 And so he gets fined $5,000 for something that nobody really thought was intentional.

00:14:28.360 $5,000.

00:14:29.240 Now, of course, you know, that doesn't hurt him.

00:14:32.240 But would anybody else have been fined $5,000?

00:14:36.500 Wouldn't the more logical thing to be, hey, there's this thing that you should also take care of.

00:14:43.440 Maybe you missed it.

00:14:45.000 So can you take care of this by tomorrow?

00:14:47.700 Or I'll have to fine you.

00:14:48.940 Don't you think that's the way that should have played out?

00:14:53.700 Given that it was obvious that it looked like an oversight, because it was taken down where you could see it easily,

00:14:59.560 but it was left up where somebody didn't notice.

00:15:02.560 Why would you fine somebody for that?

00:15:06.340 Who's better off for that?

00:15:08.380 Is the public protected?

00:15:10.760 I don't see how.

00:15:12.260 If you gave him a day to take it down, and he didn't take it down, you could still fine him.

00:15:16.100 But it's so obvious that this is just targeted weaponization, like even in small ways that aren't really going to hurt Trump at all.

00:15:25.940 But it's obvious that it's just they're using it as a weapon.

00:15:29.080 You wouldn't do this for somebody who is just an ordinary citizen who maybe didn't know that there was still something they needed to address.

00:15:37.280 That's it.

00:15:37.740 Well, now I guess the gag order is suspended or temporarily frozen because Trump is fighting it in courts.

00:15:49.780 So the judge said, well, we'll suspend it while you're fighting it.

00:15:55.680 So there's a little update on the George Floyd case.

00:15:59.640 Apparently, somebody who was working on the prosecution is spilling the juice that apparently when she talked to the coroner,

00:16:10.620 the coroner said there was no indication of asphyxiation, which would have been the murder part.

00:16:17.280 But that the coroner worried what happens when the evidence doesn't match the narrative and people will lose their careers.

00:16:26.340 So here's the smoking gun.

00:16:29.640 That the coroner lied to protect himself and all the other people involved.

00:16:37.280 That's actually in evidence now.

00:16:39.660 Now, it's still hearsay, right?

00:16:42.100 So it's still one person telling you their experience and then relaying it to you.

00:16:47.560 So hearsay has to be put in its proper place.

00:16:50.600 You would need some confirming evidence.

00:16:53.560 But here's some confirming evidence.

00:16:56.200 I watched the video a hundred times.

00:16:58.280 I didn't see anybody get murdered.

00:17:00.060 Did you?

00:17:01.780 I saw somebody die of a fentanyl over there.

00:17:04.860 That's what I saw.

00:17:06.360 Now, I saw that from the start.

00:17:08.680 I never saw anything different, no matter how many times I watched it.

00:17:12.120 And do you know why I'm pretty sure that it wasn't a murder?

00:17:14.980 Because, because Chauvin was doing it in front of people with cameras.

00:17:23.620 This is one of those few times when you can know for certain what was in his mind.

00:17:28.180 What was in his mind for certain, because he was on camera, talking to the people who were filming him live.

00:17:35.900 He didn't think he was breaking a law of that.

00:17:39.900 Clearly.

00:17:41.080 Because he did it calmly and coolly in front of lots of people under the power of law.

00:17:48.300 Well, there's no way any human being acts that way if they believe they're murdering somebody in front of a whole bunch of witnesses who were filming him.

00:17:58.300 It's not like he thought he'd get away.

00:18:00.820 What, was he going to change his name and run away?

00:18:03.180 No, this is one of those few times you can be completely certain that he was not aware that there was, you know, that it looked like murder.

00:18:11.340 Now, there's also the question that I saw somebody say, that once the suspect is taken into custody, the well-being of that suspect is the responsibility of the officers.

00:18:26.560 And indeed, some of the other officers were warning Chauvin that there might be a problem.

00:18:31.380 So, given that he was responsible, and given that, you know, that Floyd was complaining and the other officers were concerned, that should have been enough, say some, to make it still Chauvin's responsibility and his fault.

00:18:49.680 You know what I say?

00:18:51.460 I say he asked him if he was on drugs, and Floyd said no.

00:18:56.480 When Floyd said no, he killed himself.

00:18:58.920 That's it.

00:19:01.940 Had he said yes, all of the officers would have been trained to know that the problem might be more medical than they first thought.

00:19:11.000 Had he said, yes, I have fentanyl in my system, and I don't know how much, and I'm having trouble breathing.

00:19:18.140 Do you think they would have treated it the same if he had not lied to them about his medical situation?

00:19:24.140 So, people are saying, he kept saying, I couldn't breathe, which was an accurate thing he said about his health. 0.97

00:19:32.980 But he also said something that killed him, which is he didn't have drugs in them.

00:19:37.400 Now, do I think that Chauvin, or a different officer, could have been smart enough to still put together the facts and keep him alive?

00:19:47.360 Maybe.

00:19:48.680 Maybe.

00:19:49.600 But that's not what he was charged with.

00:19:51.920 To me, it looked like he was charged because he was white.

00:19:55.440 People were afraid of the reaction, and that's always been obvious.

00:19:59.400 Now, I thought, when this new news came out, Tucker Carlson was one reporting it, making it a big deal.

00:20:05.800 But I thought everybody knew that it wasn't a murder, and that Chauvin was just being railroaded for being white.

00:20:12.540 I thought everybody knew that, so it didn't strike me as new news.

00:20:20.000 Anyway, here's something that I see a lot of, that black people in particular literally don't believe white men when they tell them their own personal experience.

00:20:34.240 So a comment on this was from somebody named Cliffside on the X platform.

00:20:39.840 He says about the George Floyd story, he says, well, I was treated to nearly 80 hours of racial training in a one-year period, watched my employer nearly double the racial quotas,

00:20:51.540 saw two years of hiring not a single white male, and then got laid off to make way.

00:20:56.520 Now, I don't know if this specific thing never happened, but do you imagine this is a story of a great weirdness?

00:21:15.700 No, this is the ordinary experience of white men in America for the last 30 years. 0.68

00:21:20.620 It's all like this. It's like this all the time.

00:21:22.880 Do you know why you didn't know about it? If you're black, do you know why you don't know about it? 1.00

00:21:27.760 Because people are afraid to tell you. 0.93

00:21:30.620 They're afraid to tell you. All of us.

00:21:34.480 We're all afraid to tell you.

00:21:37.340 And should be. It's not an irrational fear.

00:21:41.140 It's a very rational fear, so people just shut up.

00:21:44.340 I'll tell you, the one thing that I've totally been trained off of is the idea that you can't make a whole bunch of people act one way if they know it's fake, or if they know they're all lying.

00:21:58.160 You can't make tons of people just act the same way.

00:22:01.080 There's always going to be somebody who will dissent.

00:22:03.580 No, not when money's involved.

00:22:05.920 When money's involved, people just go the same way.

00:22:08.260 And everybody knew that their careers and their livelihoods and their families were at risk if they said what they saw with their own eyes, which is obviously not a murder.

00:22:21.260 All right.

00:22:26.260 All right.

00:22:28.500 Christopher Ruffo posted this.

00:22:30.800 He said, I almost feel pity for the BLM-era gurus, Ibram Kendi, Patrice Cullors, Robin D'Angelo, and Sean King.

00:22:40.920 The establishment desperately wanted to summon moral figureheads for their racial reckoning, and all they could find was a rogues' gallery of intellectually vapid scam artists.

00:22:53.020 So, yeah. 0.74

00:22:55.180 It turns out that the leaders of the movements were largely just scam artists.

00:23:00.800 So, we know that now.

00:23:02.820 All right.

00:23:03.240 I've got a question for people who suffer from TDS.

00:23:06.860 Is there anybody here who suffers from TDS?

00:23:12.420 Anybody else?

00:23:14.140 Oh, probably you're all cured if you're on this platform.

00:23:18.200 But here's a question.

00:23:19.320 If I needed some cash, and I told you I wanted to, quote, find a bank with an ATM,

00:23:27.780 I want to find a bank with an ATM, can I be indicted for attempted bank robbery?

00:23:36.740 Because I wanted to find a bank with an ATM.

00:23:42.500 Because find, in that context, means rob the bank, doesn't it?

00:23:48.600 Well, you, wait, you wouldn't, wouldn't you interpret it that way?

00:23:51.800 I thought, like, find the votes, you know, means do something illegal.

00:23:58.580 Find an ATM at a bank would be robbed the ATM.

00:24:02.920 I don't know how else to interpret it.

00:24:05.600 So, never, ever say to your friends you'd like to find a bank with an ATM,

00:24:10.560 because you're just admitting you want to rob a bank.

00:24:12.560 Now, I ask you this, how is it possible that half of the country could be convinced

00:24:22.200 that the word find meant do a crime, but only in this one phone call,

00:24:28.740 and doesn't mean it anywhere else?

00:24:32.280 How is that done?

00:24:34.860 Easily.

00:24:35.340 You watched videos of Derek Chauvin not murdering anybody,

00:24:40.900 and people were convinced they saw him being murdered.

00:24:45.700 It's really easy.

00:24:47.160 It turns out you could convince half the country of actually anything.

00:24:52.580 Anything.

00:24:54.460 Half the country still thinks they have free speech.

00:24:58.020 Quite obviously you don't.

00:25:00.060 Quite obviously that went away a long time ago.

00:25:03.340 Do they still see it?

00:25:04.220 Yeah, you can make people believe they see anything.

00:25:08.600 Now, here's a question that's been bugging me lately,

00:25:11.620 because sometimes I'll find myself getting into a, you could call it a debate,

00:25:16.800 but to me it's more like a diagnosis,

00:25:19.500 in which somebody will make wild TDS-related claims about Trump

00:25:23.620 that are just clearly debunked,

00:25:26.220 just like the most debunked, obviously not true stuff.

00:25:28.940 And I will sometimes say,

00:25:33.320 all right, here's a situation where you should just trust me on this.

00:25:37.920 Not because of my political opinion,

00:25:40.380 because you could disagree on that,

00:25:42.240 but you should trust that I'm an expert on identifying somebody

00:25:46.280 who's in cognitive dissonance,

00:25:48.260 and is suffering from brainwash.

00:25:51.020 That's actually my area of, you know, special interest and expertise.

00:25:56.740 And so I'm telling you, dear sir,

00:25:59.360 that although you think you're operating under logic,

00:26:03.460 nothing you're saying right now makes sense.

00:26:05.780 You're normally actually a logical, reasonable person,

00:26:09.400 but on this one topic,

00:26:11.020 you've departed from your normal IQ and reasonableness,

00:26:14.260 and I, as an expert,

00:26:16.900 someone who, you know,

00:26:18.160 knows what a hypnotized person looks like,

00:26:21.560 I'm telling you that it's very obvious

00:26:23.360 you're operating from a brainwashed,

00:26:27.040 cognitive dissonance kind of a situation,

00:26:29.940 and that there's no actual debate happening here.

00:26:34.560 Do you know how that goes over?

00:26:39.400 Usually I get insulted and, you know,

00:26:43.080 turned away.

00:26:44.800 Yeah.

00:26:45.180 Because people,

00:26:45.920 once they realize they have the medical problem,

00:26:48.340 which it is in my mind,

00:26:50.200 in my mind,

00:26:50.820 that's a medical problem.

00:26:52.800 If you have TDS,

00:26:54.820 it's like any other emotional or psychological phenomenon.

00:26:59.540 If it's affecting your life,

00:27:01.200 and it clearly does for a lot of people,

00:27:03.580 that's a medical problem.

00:27:05.700 So I keep finding myself in situations

00:27:07.640 where the other person thinks they're having a debate.

00:27:10.400 This happened to me yesterday, actually,

00:27:11.760 that my Democrat friend believed he was having a debate.

00:27:17.540 And I thought to myself,

00:27:19.020 there's no debate.

00:27:21.020 You're having some kind of a weird psychological phenomenon.

00:27:25.660 And I'm telling you,

00:27:27.440 I'm telling you, 0.92

00:27:28.880 you're having a psychological problem.

00:27:30.380 You think you're having a debate?

00:27:33.480 There's nothing like that happening.

00:27:35.040 All right.

00:27:37.080 Anyway,

00:27:38.180 believe hypnotists when they tell you you're hypnotized.

00:27:43.700 Scott Ritter,

00:27:46.100 you all from,

00:27:46.920 are you familiar with that name?

00:27:48.340 Scott Ritter.

00:27:49.040 He was famous as a weapon of mass destruction guy

00:27:55.260 looking for those in Iraq.

00:27:58.640 Yeah,

00:27:58.840 he was a weapons inspector.

00:28:00.400 But now he talks mostly about

00:28:01.920 how Russia is definitely going to win in Ukraine,

00:28:04.820 and we don't realize it,

00:28:06.500 which makes him look like a Russian propagandist.

00:28:09.500 Now,

00:28:09.900 many people would say

00:28:10.840 he's just a Russian propagandist.

00:28:14.340 Well,

00:28:14.480 now he's talking about,

00:28:15.420 I will just say

00:28:17.800 he looks exactly like one.

00:28:20.240 That's all I know.

00:28:21.960 Right?

00:28:22.760 Yeah,

00:28:23.000 he works for Russia today.

00:28:24.600 He writes for the

00:28:25.600 Russian newspaper,

00:28:27.480 basically.

00:28:28.520 So,

00:28:28.860 yes,

00:28:29.240 all indications

00:28:30.180 and my personal observation,

00:28:33.240 all indications are that

00:28:34.700 he's working for the other team.

00:28:38.740 I don't know that for sure.

00:28:40.640 I would just say

00:28:41.200 he presents himself in every way

00:28:43.140 like somebody who's on another team.

00:28:45.420 But he's saying

00:28:47.860 that Israel will lose 0.75

00:28:49.680 if it goes into Gaza

00:28:50.840 and that the Israeli military

00:28:53.120 is actually not very good.

00:28:55.680 There are just some units

00:28:57.180 like the Special Forces

00:28:58.220 who are very good.

00:28:59.540 But if you look at the general army,

00:29:03.120 not really that strong.

00:29:05.920 He says that Hezbollah

00:29:07.220 would beat them straight up.

00:29:09.440 If Hezbollah went after Israel, 0.55

00:29:11.160 it would just destroy

00:29:11.860 the Israeli military.

00:29:13.800 I don't believe that.

00:29:14.820 That doesn't sound real to me.

00:29:18.680 But I'm just telling you

00:29:19.860 what he's saying in public.

00:29:21.200 Okay?

00:29:22.900 I also don't believe 1.00

00:29:24.400 that Israel is so dumb 1.00

00:29:26.420 that they would go into Gaza 1.00

00:29:28.380 with a traditional

00:29:29.980 urban warfare. 1.00

00:29:36.080 I feel like that would be stupid. 0.99

00:29:39.020 And no matter what the quality 0.99

00:29:41.120 of their military is, 0.99

00:29:42.280 they're not stupid. 0.99

00:29:44.880 To me, 1.00

00:29:45.360 it would just be stupid 0.99

00:29:46.200 to go door to door 1.00

00:29:47.200 and be booby-trapped to death.

00:29:49.920 Why would they do that?

00:29:51.360 I think they will just

00:29:52.260 destroy everything as they go

00:29:53.940 and just stay behind

00:29:55.760 the line of destruction

00:29:56.780 and just shrink

00:29:58.600 the real estate

00:30:00.840 that the bad guys

00:30:02.260 can be in

00:30:02.860 until they just control them

00:30:04.360 and then

00:30:05.600 drop them other old bombs 0.94

00:30:08.220 in the middle

00:30:08.720 and be done with it.

00:30:09.500 I don't think

00:30:10.520 they're going to be

00:30:10.960 knocking on any doors.

00:30:12.720 Now,

00:30:13.200 when I say any,

00:30:14.080 of course,

00:30:14.620 there will be some.

00:30:15.820 But

00:30:16.100 I think

00:30:17.600 one of the reasons

00:30:18.340 that they're waiting

00:30:19.240 is that they never planned

00:30:21.260 to go in fast

00:30:23.220 in the first place.

00:30:24.560 That's my guess.

00:30:25.960 Right?

00:30:26.320 Because remember,

00:30:27.280 military operations

00:30:28.180 are all about

00:30:28.920 deception.

00:30:29.900 my guess is

00:30:32.560 they did not plan

00:30:33.620 to go in already.

00:30:34.780 It looks like

00:30:35.700 from the outside,

00:30:37.520 it looks like

00:30:38.080 maybe public opinion

00:30:39.340 and something

00:30:40.680 about negotiating

00:30:41.680 for the hostages

00:30:42.680 is delaying.

00:30:44.300 Here's what I predict.

00:30:45.940 A whole bunch of delays

00:30:47.360 for different reasons.

00:30:49.480 Well,

00:30:50.060 we'll give you

00:30:50.580 a couple more days

00:30:51.380 because we're negotiating

00:30:52.380 some more releases.

00:30:55.180 Well,

00:30:55.700 we're waiting

00:30:56.640 for a couple of assets

00:30:57.520 to show up

00:30:58.220 before we go in.

00:30:59.020 Oh,

00:30:59.880 well,

00:31:00.100 we thought we'd do

00:31:01.020 some more training

00:31:02.940 about how to go in.

00:31:04.420 Just get everybody sharp

00:31:05.560 before we go in.

00:31:07.060 I feel like

00:31:07.680 it's not going to happen.

00:31:09.420 They're definitely

00:31:09.940 going to control Gaza. 0.62

00:31:11.520 They're definitely

00:31:12.200 going to eliminate Hamas.

00:31:14.440 Well,

00:31:14.680 I don't think

00:31:15.220 it's going to be

00:31:15.680 in the most traditional way

00:31:17.080 that we expect them

00:31:17.960 to do it.

00:31:18.960 I think it'll be clever.

00:31:21.900 And I think

00:31:22.700 everything we've seen

00:31:23.500 so far

00:31:24.080 is part of that cleverness.

00:31:26.440 I don't think

00:31:27.400 it's just being slow.

00:31:29.600 Now,

00:31:30.120 I could be completely wrong

00:31:32.140 by the end of today.

00:31:34.560 If they go in hard

00:31:35.980 and traditionally,

00:31:37.420 then I'm completely wrong

00:31:38.720 and you get to

00:31:41.280 tell me that tomorrow.

00:31:42.160 Now,

00:31:43.560 remember,

00:31:43.860 I have gotten

00:31:44.320 these military things wrong.

00:31:46.100 I said Putin

00:31:47.040 wouldn't go into Ukraine

00:31:49.300 because it would be

00:31:50.780 such a bad idea.

00:31:54.380 Well,

00:31:54.820 I was right

00:31:55.260 that it was a bad idea

00:31:56.320 on some level.

00:31:58.380 You know,

00:31:58.680 Putin might still

00:31:59.360 come out ahead

00:31:59.920 so I guess

00:32:00.420 it would be good

00:32:00.880 on that level.

00:32:01.600 But I didn't think

00:32:02.340 he could take Kiev.

00:32:03.240 so at least

00:32:05.480 I was right

00:32:05.860 about that.

00:32:09.020 All right.

00:32:12.600 Germany apparently

00:32:13.620 has big

00:32:15.140 pro-Hamas 0.85

00:32:16.260 gatherings.

00:32:18.700 Some are saying

00:32:19.620 that the German news

00:32:20.960 are running

00:32:21.540 a blackout

00:32:22.280 so that the public

00:32:24.040 is not aware

00:32:24.720 how big it is.

00:32:26.520 Someone else said

00:32:27.340 that they just landed

00:32:28.200 in Germany

00:32:28.780 the other day

00:32:29.540 and they're not seeing

00:32:30.440 a whole bunch of problems.

00:32:32.200 So maybe the news,

00:32:33.280 maybe our news

00:32:33.920 is exaggerating it.

00:32:35.840 Maybe Germany 0.54

00:32:36.460 is downplaying it.

00:32:38.860 Hard to know.

00:32:40.200 Basically,

00:32:40.840 you can't believe

00:32:41.280 anything at this point.

00:32:42.860 But

00:32:43.040 as other people

00:32:46.400 have said

00:32:46.940 and I agree,

00:32:48.600 I'm pretty sure

00:32:49.560 Europe is lost

00:32:50.600 in the sense

00:32:51.960 that

00:32:52.340 I think it will go

00:32:53.860 Islamic

00:32:55.320 and probably radical.

00:32:57.660 So I think

00:32:58.680 Germany will be lost 0.85

00:32:59.980 entirely

00:33:00.880 is my guess.

00:33:02.660 And

00:33:03.140 I blame Hitler.

00:33:06.400 I blame Hitler

00:33:07.680 because

00:33:09.040 do you think

00:33:09.900 that Germany

00:33:10.380 would have been

00:33:10.940 so pro-immigration

00:33:12.520 if they didn't

00:33:14.080 have the legacy

00:33:14.800 of

00:33:15.180 trying to,

00:33:16.940 let's say,

00:33:17.900 make things right

00:33:18.920 for the Hitler era?

00:33:20.600 I think

00:33:22.360 this is literally

00:33:23.260 the last play

00:33:25.340 of Hitler 0.92

00:33:25.740 to destroy

00:33:26.420 the country.

00:33:28.060 They had such

00:33:28.920 overwhelming guilt

00:33:30.180 or maybe

00:33:32.020 it was

00:33:32.260 public relations

00:33:33.960 in part.

00:33:35.340 But

00:33:35.680 they basically

00:33:36.840 painted themselves

00:33:39.140 in a corner.

00:33:40.860 The end result

00:33:41.940 is

00:33:42.260 they either

00:33:43.080 have to,

00:33:44.260 well,

00:33:44.760 I'll just say it

00:33:45.220 directly.

00:33:46.140 They either have

00:33:46.880 to recreate

00:33:47.540 Hitler 0.78

00:33:47.920 or they lose.

00:33:52.340 And I think

00:33:53.080 they're going

00:33:53.360 to choose losing.

00:33:54.660 I don't think

00:33:55.360 they're going

00:33:55.660 to recreate

00:33:56.200 Hitler,

00:33:57.240 meaning that

00:33:58.580 they would have

00:33:58.980 to get rid 0.98

00:33:59.500 of the immigrants 0.99

00:34:00.120 based primarily

00:34:02.120 on their demographic.

00:34:04.500 I can't imagine

00:34:05.200 that happening.

00:34:07.620 You're writing

00:34:08.200 a new book

00:34:08.700 called

00:34:08.940 Blame Hitler.

00:34:09.520 You know,

00:34:12.000 quoting

00:34:12.480 Norm Macdonald,

00:34:13.940 the more

00:34:15.240 I find out

00:34:15.880 about Hitler,

00:34:17.320 the more

00:34:17.780 I don't like him.

00:34:19.840 It's a Norm

00:34:20.340 Macdonald joke.

00:34:23.560 All right,

00:34:24.160 well,

00:34:24.360 did you see

00:34:24.760 the scandal

00:34:25.380 about Greta

00:34:26.140 Thunberg

00:34:26.680 and the octopus?

00:34:28.520 So Greta

00:34:29.220 posed for a picture

00:34:30.540 with some other

00:34:31.360 pro-Palestinian

00:34:32.520 people

00:34:32.860 in support

00:34:33.800 of the

00:34:34.020 Palestinian people,

00:34:34.860 but she made 0.60

00:34:36.480 the mistake

00:34:37.000 of,

00:34:37.820 if it was

00:34:38.900 a mistake,

00:34:39.820 of having

00:34:40.200 a little toy

00:34:40.860 octopus

00:34:41.580 with her

00:34:43.180 by her shoulder

00:34:44.460 and I learned

00:34:47.060 this yesterday.

00:34:48.880 I was not aware

00:34:50.020 that an octopus

00:34:51.340 is an anti-Semitic

00:34:52.940 symbol

00:34:53.740 because apparently

00:34:55.120 there's some images

00:34:55.980 of the planet Earth

00:34:57.400 with what some

00:34:58.740 would call 0.51

00:34:59.240 the Jewish octopus 0.98

00:35:00.480 strangling the Earth.

00:35:02.140 I've never seen

00:35:03.160 that before.

00:35:03.600 So I learned

00:35:04.900 yesterday

00:35:05.340 that if you put

00:35:06.880 an octopus

00:35:07.420 in your photo,

00:35:09.040 don't talk

00:35:10.020 about Israel

00:35:10.560 or the Palestinians. 0.53

00:35:13.380 You know,

00:35:13.860 octopus is okay.

00:35:16.340 Talking about

00:35:17.180 the Middle East,

00:35:18.240 fine.

00:35:19.500 But don't do

00:35:20.500 them both.

00:35:21.420 No octopus

00:35:22.020 plus Middle East,

00:35:23.880 you'll be blamed

00:35:24.560 for being

00:35:25.000 an anti-Semitic.

00:35:26.440 Now,

00:35:26.900 I think she said

00:35:27.820 it's a toy

00:35:29.280 that people

00:35:30.500 who have trouble

00:35:31.060 with their emotions

00:35:31.860 have,

00:35:32.460 which you can

00:35:33.700 turn it inside out

00:35:34.760 and it smiles

00:35:35.700 but you turn it

00:35:36.540 the other way

00:35:37.080 and it frowns.

00:35:38.640 And it's a way

00:35:39.080 for people

00:35:39.540 who are not good

00:35:40.300 at expressing

00:35:40.920 their emotions

00:35:41.560 to signal

00:35:43.320 what their mood

00:35:44.180 is in case

00:35:45.260 people can't tell.

00:35:48.420 Does that sound

00:35:49.560 likely?

00:35:53.580 You're buying that?

00:35:56.280 Here's what I think.

00:35:57.340 I think Greta

00:35:58.540 is way,

00:35:59.680 way,

00:36:00.020 way too smart

00:36:01.420 to have done it

00:36:03.040 intentionally

00:36:03.620 because it wouldn't

00:36:06.780 have helped her cause.

00:36:09.060 Would it?

00:36:10.780 Yeah,

00:36:11.400 no,

00:36:11.860 no matter what you think

00:36:13.160 of her opinions

00:36:13.780 on climate change,

00:36:15.580 she's at least

00:36:16.780 smart.

00:36:19.220 Would you give me that?

00:36:21.040 Would you give me

00:36:22.000 that she's smart?

00:36:22.880 She likes attention 0.90

00:36:27.760 but she's smart.

00:36:30.200 I don't think

00:36:31.220 anybody smart

00:36:32.220 would put a

00:36:33.180 known

00:36:34.300 anti-Semitic

00:36:35.380 symbol

00:36:35.820 in a photo

00:36:36.720 unless she was

00:36:38.980 going to fully

00:36:39.580 commit to being

00:36:40.280 anti-Semitic.

00:36:42.100 Nobody does that

00:36:43.340 while trying

00:36:44.000 to maintain

00:36:44.660 a non-anti-Semitic

00:36:46.460 image.

00:36:47.980 Nobody would do that.

00:36:48.940 How many of you

00:36:55.260 think she did it

00:36:55.980 intentionally?

00:37:00.600 You have to pass

00:37:01.620 the really test.

00:37:03.240 Really?

00:37:05.180 Really?

00:37:07.420 No,

00:37:07.920 it doesn't really test.

00:37:08.760 It doesn't pass

00:37:09.400 the really test.

00:37:12.120 All right,

00:37:12.720 for those of you

00:37:13.480 who think she did it 1.00

00:37:14.440 intentionally,

00:37:15.060 I'm a hypnotist

00:37:19.440 and I'm telling you

00:37:21.660 that you're suffering

00:37:22.380 from something

00:37:23.000 right now.

00:37:24.820 There isn't any chance

00:37:26.400 it was intentional.

00:37:27.960 There really wasn't.

00:37:29.340 There was no chance

00:37:30.400 that was intentional.

00:37:40.020 I think you have

00:37:41.640 to check your bias

00:37:42.880 if you think

00:37:43.420 that was intentional.

00:37:45.060 Now,

00:37:45.740 here's my argument.

00:37:47.600 My argument

00:37:48.080 goes like this.

00:37:48.900 Number one,

00:37:49.500 I'm a hypnotist

00:37:50.540 and so I can recognize

00:37:52.280 when you're

00:37:52.800 operating irrational.

00:37:56.120 There's nobody

00:37:57.000 with her

00:37:57.740 capabilities

00:37:59.600 who would think

00:38:01.140 that was anything

00:38:01.980 except the worst

00:38:02.920 idea anybody had

00:38:04.120 to put a known

00:38:05.840 anti-Semitic symbol

00:38:07.640 in her photo.

00:38:08.840 Nobody ever

00:38:09.840 would do that.

00:38:11.580 Even if,

00:38:12.940 even if she's

00:38:13.880 anti-Semitic.

00:38:15.060 which I have

00:38:15.740 no evidence

00:38:16.300 to suggest she is.

00:38:17.980 Even if she is,

00:38:19.800 no,

00:38:20.100 she would not do that.

00:38:22.080 Now,

00:38:22.400 if you say,

00:38:23.040 but, you know,

00:38:23.700 Ilan Omar

00:38:24.480 might do it.

00:38:25.260 Well, sure.

00:38:27.480 Well, sure.

00:38:28.360 That's not really

00:38:28.880 the same thing,

00:38:29.600 is it?

00:38:29.800 she's a pawn.

00:38:33.920 She may be a pawn, 1.00

00:38:35.140 but she's not stupid. 1.00

00:38:37.440 Nobody in the world 0.98

00:38:38.900 would put a known

00:38:39.980 anti-Semitic symbol

00:38:41.360 in a public photo

00:38:42.960 that was intended

00:38:44.200 to be a public photo.

00:38:46.040 Nobody ever,

00:38:47.680 ever,

00:38:48.260 unless that was their brand

00:38:49.540 and they were trying

00:38:50.080 to tell you

00:38:50.580 that that's who they were.

00:38:52.320 She's obviously

00:38:52.940 not doing that.

00:38:58.500 What if she didn't know?

00:39:00.840 I assume she didn't know.

00:39:03.500 Yeah,

00:39:03.840 I just assumed

00:39:04.480 she didn't know.

00:39:05.000 She does what 0.90

00:39:08.620 she's been told to do.

00:39:10.640 Well,

00:39:10.960 maybe.

00:39:11.420 Somebody,

00:39:11.860 I mean,

00:39:12.340 I would certainly believe

00:39:13.160 that somebody

00:39:13.580 tried to trick her.

00:39:15.360 If somebody tried

00:39:16.060 to trick her,

00:39:16.660 that would be

00:39:17.040 just sort of ordinary.

00:39:18.960 To me,

00:39:19.380 I would say,

00:39:19.860 oh,

00:39:20.260 okay,

00:39:20.520 that makes sense.

00:39:21.220 Somebody just put it there

00:39:22.260 or somebody saw it

00:39:24.080 and did know its meaning.

00:39:26.160 Maybe one of the friends

00:39:27.160 said,

00:39:28.260 hey,

00:39:28.440 you know,

00:39:28.660 it would be funny.

00:39:29.340 You should put your octopus in there.

00:39:31.020 It's possible it was a trick,

00:39:32.920 but no,

00:39:33.560 I don't believe

00:39:34.080 there's any chance

00:39:35.220 that she intended it that way.

00:39:37.220 None.

00:39:38.560 And,

00:39:38.860 and,

00:39:40.000 and can we

00:39:40.780 acknowledge

00:39:41.700 that I'm not a supporter

00:39:43.860 of Greta?

00:39:44.960 I think she's, 0.87

00:39:45.980 I think she's a malign, 1.00

00:39:48.380 very dangerous 0.87

00:39:49.220 force

00:39:50.320 in the world.

00:39:51.880 I think she's very dangerous. 0.88

00:39:53.460 I'm not on her side.

00:39:55.640 Right?

00:39:55.880 It would be easy for me to,

00:39:57.400 easy for me to be against her

00:40:00.160 because I oppose her

00:40:01.640 on some other topic,

00:40:03.020 but this time,

00:40:03.820 no.

00:40:05.080 Now,

00:40:05.360 I got,

00:40:05.580 I got to,

00:40:06.140 I got to go against

00:40:07.380 the fake news on this one.

00:40:09.460 David Sachs,

00:40:10.440 interestingly,

00:40:11.480 posted some thoughts

00:40:13.680 by Patrick Buchanan,

00:40:15.280 now passed away,

00:40:16.540 but famous,

00:40:18.640 a famous,

00:40:19.280 very provocative

00:40:20.100 and controversial

00:40:21.000 Republican.

00:40:23.380 And here's something

00:40:24.540 that he wrote

00:40:25.180 in one of his books

00:40:26.220 before he passed,

00:40:27.360 Patrick Buchanan.

00:40:28.640 He said,

00:40:29.240 at the opening

00:40:29.900 of the 20th century,

00:40:31.820 there were five

00:40:32.500 great Western empires,

00:40:34.340 the British,

00:40:35.020 French,

00:40:35.580 Russian,

00:40:36.040 German,

00:40:36.500 and Austro-Hungarian,

00:40:38.620 and two emerging

00:40:39.800 great powers,

00:40:40.980 Japan and the United States.

00:40:43.220 By century's end,

00:40:44.380 all the empires

00:40:45.200 had disappeared.

00:40:46.940 How did they perish?

00:40:49.140 By war,

00:40:50.500 all of them.

00:40:51.280 So Patrick Buchanan

00:40:53.720 points out

00:40:54.820 that the only reason

00:40:55.720 that America survived

00:40:56.880 as the sole superpower

00:40:58.440 is that we had

00:40:59.720 a geographic advantage

00:41:00.960 and we stayed

00:41:01.580 out of the big land wars.

00:41:04.240 And that was it.

00:41:05.640 Like,

00:41:05.940 there wasn't anything

00:41:06.600 else special about us

00:41:07.980 compared to Europe,

00:41:10.060 except we stayed

00:41:10.840 out of the wars.

00:41:12.220 And it basically

00:41:13.140 explains everything else.

00:41:14.960 Why did we do so well

00:41:16.180 economically,

00:41:17.480 et cetera.

00:41:18.200 And here we are

00:41:19.460 putting ourselves

00:41:20.940 into one

00:41:22.040 and maybe two

00:41:22.680 land wars.

00:41:23.940 So that's a cautionary tale.

00:41:26.340 It does seem like

00:41:27.140 we're going to spend

00:41:28.040 ourselves into oblivion.

00:41:30.300 So,

00:41:30.740 if we became

00:41:31.980 not a superpower,

00:41:33.940 that would be

00:41:34.700 a big reason why.

00:41:36.740 Just supporting wars.

00:41:38.800 All right,

00:41:39.100 well,

00:41:39.280 there's another

00:41:39.760 accusation from

00:41:41.020 Comer and the Republicans

00:41:42.260 about the Biden,

00:41:43.420 so-called Biden

00:41:44.340 crime family.

00:41:45.840 So they have

00:41:46.500 in their possession,

00:41:47.740 the Republicans do,

00:41:49.040 a copy of a

00:41:49.960 $200,000

00:41:50.720 check

00:41:51.200 that

00:41:52.340 Joe Biden's

00:41:53.680 brother James

00:41:54.520 gave him.

00:41:57.540 Now,

00:41:58.540 it's allegedly

00:41:59.260 a loan,

00:42:03.760 received a loan

00:42:05.240 for the exact amount

00:42:06.500 that James Biden

00:42:08.480 had just

00:42:09.040 gotten some money for.

00:42:11.520 So there's

00:42:12.260 a speculation

00:42:14.640 or assumption.

00:42:17.500 Wait,

00:42:17.880 Buchanan's still alive?

00:42:18.860 that can't be.

00:42:23.320 Really?

00:42:24.500 Why do I so

00:42:25.520 clearly remember

00:42:26.580 him dying?

00:42:30.200 Huh.

00:42:31.300 That's a

00:42:31.800 fake memory?

00:42:33.640 Wow,

00:42:34.280 that's cool.

00:42:36.140 If you ever have

00:42:37.140 the experience

00:42:38.380 of having a fake memory

00:42:39.640 like I am having

00:42:40.700 right now,

00:42:41.400 because I very

00:42:42.180 specifically

00:42:42.980 remember him dying.

00:42:44.260 but I'll take

00:42:46.360 your word for it

00:42:46.980 that he's alive.

00:42:48.300 So I'm having

00:42:49.320 like a fake memory

00:42:50.760 of like a really

00:42:51.600 clean one,

00:42:53.380 a really clean

00:42:54.140 memory of it.

00:42:55.240 Like I remember

00:42:56.000 it specifically

00:42:56.760 and I guess

00:42:58.720 it didn't happen.

00:43:00.160 So when this

00:43:00.820 happens,

00:43:01.280 here's what you

00:43:01.740 should do.

00:43:02.220 You should do

00:43:02.620 what I'm doing

00:43:03.100 right now.

00:43:04.140 You should,

00:43:04.840 first of all,

00:43:06.040 marvel in it

00:43:07.040 that you could have

00:43:08.300 a complete memory

00:43:09.180 of a thing

00:43:09.600 that didn't happen.

00:43:10.240 And the second

00:43:11.400 thing you could do

00:43:12.160 is ask yourself

00:43:13.060 how often

00:43:13.560 that's happening

00:43:14.140 and you didn't

00:43:14.640 know it.

00:43:15.600 If I had not

00:43:16.540 looked up,

00:43:17.740 I would have

00:43:18.540 finished this

00:43:19.320 still thinking

00:43:20.980 he was dead.

00:43:23.660 Right?

00:43:24.340 So it's only a

00:43:24.980 coincidence that

00:43:25.740 I happened to,

00:43:26.720 oh, maybe it was

00:43:27.340 Pat Robertson.

00:43:29.480 Maybe that's

00:43:30.200 what I confused.

00:43:31.560 Yeah.

00:43:35.180 James Buchanan

00:43:36.180 is dead.

00:43:38.980 Okay. 1.00

00:43:40.240 Wise ass. 0.99

00:43:41.900 Anyway, 1.00

00:43:42.800 so back to

00:43:43.380 this Biden

00:43:43.800 story.

00:43:44.980 So Comer

00:43:45.560 thinks he

00:43:46.120 might have

00:43:46.480 the goods

00:43:47.040 that would

00:43:47.760 show a

00:43:48.180 money flow

00:43:48.760 and

00:43:53.760 am I still

00:43:58.740 alive?

00:43:59.660 But I didn't

00:44:00.280 see it.

00:44:01.860 To me,

00:44:02.820 the coincidence

00:44:03.680 of the 200,000

00:44:04.920 that went to

00:44:05.340 Joe Biden,

00:44:06.500 which is the

00:44:07.260 same day that

00:44:08.020 the brother got

00:44:08.680 200,000 for

00:44:09.780 something,

00:44:10.860 it could be

00:44:13.300 exactly what it

00:44:14.020 looks like,

00:44:14.860 an illegal

00:44:15.700 payment for

00:44:16.780 influence of

00:44:17.500 some kind.

00:44:18.580 It could just

00:44:19.300 as easily be

00:44:20.200 that the

00:44:22.340 brother owed

00:44:23.120 him some

00:44:23.520 money or

00:44:24.620 he needed a

00:44:25.300 loan and he

00:44:26.560 just passed on

00:44:27.300 the money that

00:44:27.800 he just got

00:44:28.400 because it was

00:44:28.940 free cash that

00:44:29.860 had not been

00:44:30.320 invested anywhere

00:44:31.220 else.

00:44:31.500 so I would

00:44:33.260 say it's

00:44:33.880 well short

00:44:35.180 the same

00:44:35.780 amount.

00:44:37.180 Because if

00:44:37.600 somebody said,

00:44:38.960 imagine a

00:44:40.020 family situation.

00:44:41.620 Your brother

00:44:42.020 says, I'm in

00:44:43.600 a bind, I need

00:44:44.360 $200,000.

00:44:45.340 I'm not saying

00:44:45.840 this is what

00:44:46.320 happened.

00:44:46.600 I'm just

00:44:47.940 broadening your

00:44:48.960 imagination.

00:44:50.780 Let's say

00:44:51.340 somebody said,

00:44:52.240 you know, I

00:44:54.040 need $300,000.

00:44:57.040 And then your

00:44:57.860 brother says,

00:44:58.540 well, I just

00:44:59.100 got $200,000 in

00:44:59.980 cash.

00:45:01.240 My other

00:45:01.700 stuff is

00:45:02.160 invested.

00:45:03.460 But I'll

00:45:03.740 tell you what,

00:45:04.680 I'll just give

00:45:05.880 this $200,000 to

00:45:06.560 you.

00:45:07.420 You can figure

00:45:08.280 out how to

00:45:08.740 pay you off the

00:45:09.240 other $100,000 in

00:45:10.200 other ways.

00:45:11.000 And then let me

00:45:11.840 know when you

00:45:12.240 can pay it

00:45:13.460 back.

00:45:15.520 Maybe.

00:45:16.960 So the

00:45:18.340 thing is, unless

00:45:19.300 you hear the

00:45:20.060 other side of

00:45:20.660 the story, you

00:45:23.360 could have all

00:45:23.940 kinds of

00:45:24.520 suspicions, as

00:45:25.700 we do.

00:45:26.700 I mean, it

00:45:27.020 would be

00:45:27.400 obviously right to

00:45:28.540 be suspicious.

00:45:30.400 But it's

00:45:31.940 not, it's

00:45:32.780 not quite, it's

00:45:34.820 like the gun

00:45:35.460 has steam coming

00:45:36.500 off it, but not

00:45:37.260 smoke.

00:45:38.200 It might be

00:45:39.380 telling us

00:45:39.840 something, but

00:45:41.020 it also might

00:45:41.580 not.

00:45:42.840 And do you

00:45:43.400 know what I

00:45:43.720 say about

00:45:44.140 that?

00:45:45.720 I've got a

00:45:46.580 famous saying I

00:45:47.500 say in these

00:45:48.060 situations.

00:45:50.260 Innocent

00:45:50.780 until proven

00:45:52.220 guilty.

00:45:52.980 Because both

00:45:53.800 James Biden

00:45:54.440 and Joe

00:45:54.920 Biden are 0.60

00:45:56.220 individuals,

00:45:57.840 and even

00:45:59.360 Joe Biden

00:45:59.980 is innocent

00:46:01.480 until proven

00:46:02.240 guilty, and

00:46:02.840 I don't

00:46:03.100 call this

00:46:03.480 proof.

00:46:04.440 I call this

00:46:05.040 an indication

00:46:05.820 of you

00:46:07.460 ought to

00:46:07.640 look into

00:46:08.000 it.

00:46:08.980 Maybe it

00:46:09.440 would be

00:46:09.680 enough for

00:46:10.060 an indictment

00:46:10.900 in some

00:46:12.240 world, that

00:46:12.980 would be

00:46:13.220 enough.

00:46:14.480 But certainly

00:46:15.720 no proof of

00:46:16.860 illegality.

00:46:18.900 But fun

00:46:19.700 news, fun

00:46:20.800 to look at.

00:46:22.320 All right, let

00:46:23.020 me check in

00:46:23.620 with the

00:46:25.440 folks who,

00:46:26.540 amazingly, there's

00:46:27.440 still folks on

00:46:28.360 the other

00:46:28.620 platform who

00:46:29.380 were just

00:46:29.640 looking at

00:46:30.040 my white

00:46:30.420 board and

00:46:30.840 still chatting.

00:46:31.420 Thank you.
