Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2363 CWSA 01⧸24⧸24

00:00:00.000 Boom, ra-pum-pum.

00:00:03.780 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization.

00:00:08.600 It's called Coffee with Scott Adams.

00:00:10.400 I'm pretty sure you've never had a better time in your life.

00:00:13.140 And if you'd like to take this up to a level that people can barely understand with their tiny human brains,

00:00:18.660 all you need is a cuppa, a mug, or a glass, a tankard, chalice, or stein, a canteen jugger, flask, a vessel of any kind.

00:00:25.820 Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee.

00:00:27.840 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better.

00:00:34.300 It's called the Simultaneous Sip.

00:00:37.260 It happens now. Go.

00:00:42.000 Oh, that's so good.

00:00:45.680 Oh, yeah.

00:00:47.800 Don't take my coffee away from me, World Economic Forum.

00:00:51.560 I'm going to fight for that.

00:00:52.660 Well, you might be aware that Barstool Sports is going to be moving to some kind of a special deal with Rumble.

00:01:01.280 So Rumble stock was way up on the news the last two days.

00:01:05.480 It's pulling back a little bit today, but that's expected because it was up over, I think it was up over 50% in two days.

00:01:11.320 I'm a stockholder, so full disclosure, when I say nice things about Rumble, I am also an investor, small one.

00:01:20.420 I don't have much, just my little investment.

00:01:24.640 However, as Dave Rubin points out, Rumble has also just launched to the public its Rumble Studio.

00:01:32.540 Rumble Studio, why is that a big deal?

00:01:35.460 How many people are business model nerds?

00:01:38.500 Do I have any business model nerds where you hear of a new clever way to do business and you say, oh, that is so cool?

00:01:47.340 Yeah, a lot of you are business model nerds.

00:01:49.480 That's what I am.

00:01:50.820 So here's what Rumble Studio did.

00:01:53.440 So if you're a live streamer like me, your choices were to stream on one platform or to have multiple devices, and you probably said to yourself, you know, I wouldn't mind streaming on Rumble, but, you know, I'm already on these other platforms and, you know, seems like it'd be like extra work and stuff like that.

00:02:15.020 So Rumble cleverly builds the one tool that you need for the other platforms.

00:02:19.980 Now, if you're going to use Rumble Studio, which would be logical if you want to be on the X platform, which you should, and YouTube at the same time, which you should, why not get Rumble for free?

00:02:35.340 Right?

00:02:35.800 So if you're going to use the Rumble Studio, it connects to all the other platforms.

00:02:39.540 Well, the four platforms, Rumble, Locals, X, and YouTube at the moment.

00:02:45.300 I think you can add others.

00:02:46.880 So the point is there's literally one place you can go to now where you can do reliable streaming on the other platforms, and you can split screen and take guests.

00:03:03.140 So now even if your platform doesn't allow that, the Rumble Studio will let you do it, and then the platform just shows the show.

00:03:11.060 So where locals could not do an interview before, now it can.

00:03:15.420 You just have to go through the Rumble Studio.

00:03:17.720 So for you nerds about business models, this is really brilliant.

00:03:25.460 It's brilliant.

00:03:27.320 Because it sort of guarantees that if you're going to stream anywhere for free, you just get extra money by including the other platforms and just push the button and they're live like I just did.

00:03:39.440 So right now I am live on the Rumble Studio on YouTube and Rumble and X.

00:03:46.700 So you can see how it works.

00:03:52.540 It turns out that there's a sort of new graph, Paul Graham posted this on X, that women, young women are getting more liberal, young single women, and young single men are getting more conservative.

00:04:04.160 So where they used to be about the same, they're wildly different now.

00:04:11.720 So what does that imply about the future of mating?

00:04:15.800 Well, it tells me that men will be hooking up with robots.

00:04:21.700 And if you think I'm joking, nope, not joking at all.

00:04:25.860 If you're a guy who is, let's say, not in the top 10% of height and good looks and income and health and all that other stuff, you're going to be competing with not only guys who are getting all the dates, but you're also going to be competing for a shrinking pool of women who are like you.

00:04:49.960 So if you're male, you're more likely to be a trending conservative.

00:04:54.500 If you're female, more likely going the other direction. 0.98

00:04:57.420 So there'll be a shrinking pool of women that young men are willing to spend five minutes with. 0.97

00:05:05.060 Forget about sex.

00:05:07.000 They won't want to be in the same room.

00:05:08.900 It'll just be too uncomfortable.

00:05:10.040 And then a robot comes along.

00:05:13.040 And the robot is always friendly, always positive, never complains, never has a problem, never tries to sue you, never accuses you of crimes that you didn't do.

00:05:25.420 None of it.

00:05:26.500 You walk in the house and the robot will be like, hey, how was work?

00:05:30.960 You're like, well, let me tell you about it.

00:05:32.600 And it remembers you and makes insightful comments about your situation.

00:05:37.280 Yes, in all seriousness, we're one year away.

00:05:42.980 There's no joke, no hyperbole.

00:05:45.640 And I guarantee it that men, young men will be forming relationships with robots because the competition from women is so low at the moment. 0.99

00:05:55.420 It doesn't look like it's changing.

00:05:58.340 And again, I'm not saying there's anything wrong with women. 1.00

00:06:01.260 If it sounds like that, maybe I shouldn't have worded it the way I did.

00:06:05.200 There's nothing wrong with women. 1.00

00:06:06.500 It's just that, and nothing wrong with men, it's just that they're diverging in their preferences.

00:06:12.220 And there's only one way that they can end up.

00:06:14.600 They're going to replace that thing that diverged from their preference.

00:06:19.040 There's nothing else that could happen.

00:06:20.480 It's obvious.

00:06:22.200 All right.

00:06:22.540 So robots will replace women. 1.00

00:06:24.720 They're also replacing bartenders.

00:06:26.360 So now they have a, there's a, oh, this is weird.

00:06:30.780 There's a robot named Adam who can make 65 to 70 drinks an hour and doesn't need bathroom breaks, blah, blah, blah.

00:06:39.220 And I guess they're being rolled out in various places.

00:06:42.620 Now what's weird is I used to own a restaurant at a bar, and our most popular bartender was named Adam.

00:06:49.180 Isn't that weird?

00:06:52.540 Because I was going to tell you a story about a bartender named Adam as part of talking about this story.

00:06:58.400 And then I, for the first time, I noticed, oh, the robot is named Adam.

00:07:03.000 So what I was going to say is there's no way that they're ever going to make a robot bartender that's as good as Adam.

00:07:09.860 I swear to God that's what I was going to say.

00:07:12.180 That was literally what I was going to say until I noticed the robot's name is Adam.

00:07:15.860 So here's what I mean.

00:07:19.540 When we owned, when I owned the restaurant, I was a co-owner, we hired a, I think he was a server first, then he became a bartender.

00:07:29.780 Now, according to the women who worked at the restaurant, the other employees, the only way to describe Adam the bartender was something with drooling and words that don't make sense.

00:07:42.800 Something like, what do you think of Adam the bartender?

00:07:45.860 And they would just go into some kind of shock because he was, I guess he was really good looking, according to them.

00:07:55.740 And now he was married, so, you know, he was sort of, you know, wasn't available.

00:07:59.660 But just the fact that they like looking at Adam, the day he stopped working as a bartender, the traffic dropped off, I don't know, 20 or 30 percent.

00:08:12.600 Literally, the entire profit margin for the bar was Adam.

00:08:18.080 Now, eventually, he was replaced with a female bartender who also understood the show.

00:08:25.420 In other words, she understood that they weren't there just for the drinks.

00:08:28.620 It was a lot of lonely guys.

00:08:30.000 And they were there to get some kind of contact with somebody who looked good.

00:08:37.340 And she knew exactly what her mission was.

00:08:39.140 We didn't say, you know, of course, as an employer, we're not going to say you flirt with the customers.

00:08:44.720 That's not something you say.

00:08:45.780 But she was perfectly fine to get big tips by doing that. 0.84

00:08:51.600 So here's the thing.

00:08:53.100 How in the world can a robot replace a bartender?

00:08:57.180 Because I feel like it's not understanding the point of a bartender.

00:09:01.240 It's about the human connection.

00:09:04.620 The only thing that's better than having a robot bartender is staying home and not going out.

00:09:10.300 If I'm going to go out to get a drink from a robot, I don't really need to go out at all.

00:09:19.420 The bartender might be the only person you talk to all night, you know, for a lot of people.

00:09:25.640 So I don't know how far that will go, because that's definitely a job that needs to be human.

00:09:30.820 All right.

00:09:31.640 Let me ask you a question and see if I'm insane, because I probably am.

00:09:36.520 If you follow politics as closely as I do, and I think most of you do or you wouldn't be here,

00:09:44.920 does it seem to you that, say, 10 years ago, if you looked at a difference between the Democrats and the Republicans,

00:09:53.500 you'd say, those people have bad priorities, or you might say, it's all about the team,

00:10:01.380 or you might say, they're lying.

00:10:05.860 You know, so both sides will say, the other team is lying, and they're just trying to win.

00:10:10.620 Stuff like that.

00:10:11.600 Basic stuff.

00:10:12.840 But it seems like if you were watching the news for the last several weeks,

00:10:18.700 the Republican conservative-leaning news,

00:10:21.880 the frame that they're going to put on stuff more often than not, especially on X, is persuasion.

00:10:27.280 And I feel like that's new, and I don't know if that's happening on the other side,

00:10:32.360 if the Democrats are having the same experience.

00:10:34.860 But do you see it, too?

00:10:37.140 Like today, for example, Vivek and others, Mike Benz,

00:10:41.840 were posting stuff on X that really was about persuasion

00:10:45.840 in the context of what some candidate is doing or not doing.

00:10:49.700 Am I right that the persuasion frame has overtaken their lying frame

00:10:58.360 or they just have different priorities?

00:11:01.320 Do you see that, too?

00:11:02.700 Or is it just because I'm tuned into it, I see it everywhere?

00:11:08.780 I'm just looking at your comments.

00:11:11.300 All right.

00:11:11.740 So you do see it, right?

00:11:12.800 Because I think the persuasion frame is more,

00:11:17.840 it's a deeper, richer frame for understanding what we're seeing.

00:11:22.280 If you just go with their lying, there's nothing to say.

00:11:26.340 That's the end of the conversation.

00:11:28.580 Well, the Democrats are lying.

00:11:30.500 Well, the Republicans are lying.

00:11:32.680 Yeah, you know, they are, probably, both sides.

00:11:36.140 But somebody's doing it better.

00:11:38.520 Somebody's persuading and somebody's not.

00:11:40.320 So the persuasion frame, I think, is the stronger one.

00:11:43.380 So it makes sense that we'd move to it.

00:11:45.720 Anyway, immigration is the top issue,

00:11:48.180 according to a Harvard-Harris poll.

00:11:51.680 So if immigration is the top issue in the country,

00:11:54.540 that means that Biden has two choices

00:11:56.800 between now and Election Day.

00:11:59.600 He can either stop immigration by pretending, 0.77

00:12:03.440 oh, we finally got the money or whatever it is.

00:12:06.640 So he can do what he can do to stop immigration. 0.99

00:12:08.820 And let's say he succeeds.

00:12:11.060 Wouldn't that be disqualifying?

00:12:13.720 If Biden tried to solve the biggest problem,

00:12:18.120 according to voters, and let's say he solved it,

00:12:21.140 he actually solved immigration,

00:12:22.960 that would be disqualifying, wouldn't it?

00:12:26.240 You see where I'm going, right?

00:12:28.220 If he could do it, and the only reason he did it

00:12:30.780 was because of the election,

00:12:32.320 that's completely disqualifying.

00:12:34.300 Because it proves he could have done it.

00:12:36.780 It proves that he was intentionally not doing it.

00:12:40.160 That's what it would look like to me.

00:12:42.740 So from a persuasion perspective,

00:12:45.260 he has two losing choices.

00:12:47.400 He can either lose the election

00:12:49.020 because he didn't deal with immigration,

00:12:51.540 or he can deal with it and prove

00:12:53.840 that he could have done it at any time,

00:12:55.900 which definitely should lose you the election.

00:12:58.340 I don't know if it would, but it definitely should.

00:13:00.680 So I feel like he's got two losing strategies

00:13:04.580 because he misplayed the immigration thing so badly

00:13:09.240 that I don't think it's recoverable,

00:13:11.720 at least as a topic.

00:13:13.380 So Trump should own,

00:13:15.040 assuming Trump gets to the general,

00:13:19.400 he should own the number one topic.

00:13:22.060 Do you know what the number two topic is?

00:13:26.640 The economy.

00:13:28.620 The economy.

00:13:29.240 Do you know what,

00:13:31.860 do you know why the economy is number two

00:13:34.480 and not number one?

00:13:36.540 Because number one's the economy too.

00:13:39.680 It's all just the economy, right?

00:13:42.400 If all of these immigrants were coming in 1.00

00:13:44.680 and getting jobs and adding to the,

00:13:47.100 you know, adding to the GDP and nothing else,

00:13:50.040 they were just coming in and adding to the GDP,

00:13:53.120 we would probably,

00:13:54.420 we'd probably not complain so much

00:13:57.240 that some bad ones are getting through.

00:13:59.240 Because it really is about the economy.

00:14:01.780 It's always about the economy.

00:14:03.300 Carville was right.

00:14:04.320 James Carville.

00:14:05.640 So yes,

00:14:07.100 yeah, there is an equally big problem

00:14:10.400 of apparently terrorists getting through in large numbers

00:14:14.240 and MS-13.

00:14:15.500 So those things could end the country completely.

00:14:18.140 They're that bad.

00:14:21.020 But we'd feel differently about it

00:14:22.980 if it were economically sound.

00:14:26.220 If it were economically sound,

00:14:27.960 at least it would make a little sense.

00:14:29.900 You'd have an argument for it.

00:14:31.600 But there's no real argument for it,

00:14:33.100 which is the vexing problem.

00:14:34.560 Apparently, Mexico is asking for an urgent investigation

00:14:40.300 by the U.S.

00:14:42.040 as to how all the cartels are getting

00:14:44.100 advanced military-grade equipment.

00:14:48.580 Well, how do you think?

00:14:51.000 What do you think is the answer

00:14:52.400 to how the cartels are getting advanced military equipment

00:14:55.400 from the United States?

00:14:56.440 Well, it doesn't have to be our intelligence people.

00:15:03.680 It could have been Afghanistan.

00:15:06.160 It could have been just bad people

00:15:08.320 selling it to them directly.

00:15:10.420 Didn't Lloyd Austin say

00:15:11.800 we're missing like a billion dollars of equipment?

00:15:16.700 Yeah.

00:15:17.120 Apparently, the military is so poorly managed

00:15:19.360 that a billion dollars of equipment can go missing,

00:15:22.760 which presumably means,

00:15:25.060 yeah, maybe some Ukrainians are selling it.

00:15:29.700 Right.

00:15:31.420 So, that's bad.

00:15:34.920 All right, well, NBC News is reporting,

00:15:37.580 and others are,

00:15:38.780 that the L.A. Times is laid off,

00:15:40.920 they're going to lay off 20% of their staff,

00:15:42.960 115 journalists.

00:15:44.840 And how was that story covered?

00:15:47.920 By NBC News?

00:15:51.820 That journalists of color are hardest hit.

00:15:55.060 Yeah.

00:15:56.400 So, out of the 115 journalists,

00:16:00.400 several journalists were people of color.

00:16:05.080 So, that's the way you tell that story.

00:16:06.940 There's 115 of them,

00:16:09.120 but since several were people of color,

00:16:11.120 it's really a story about abuse to people of color,

00:16:15.040 because several of the 115 were people of color.

00:16:18.940 And that goes against their promise,

00:16:20.520 says the union.

00:16:22.060 And so, the union says,

00:16:23.040 the company has reneged on its promises to diversify,

00:16:25.920 since young journalists of color

00:16:27.760 have been disproportionately affected.

00:16:30.520 Disproportionately is several out of 115.

00:16:34.460 That's disproportionately affected.

00:16:37.080 And several out of 115.

00:16:40.660 Very disproportional.

00:16:41.840 But that the company is doing this bad, bad thing,

00:16:48.020 according to their union.

00:16:49.260 Huh.

00:16:50.240 You know, what's interesting is,

00:16:53.180 you know, the industry was having trouble,

00:16:55.360 but they diversified,

00:16:57.640 and it didn't make a difference.

00:16:59.240 I thought the diversification would turn things around

00:17:02.400 in the newspaper industry.

00:17:03.620 Because, you know,

00:17:05.260 if you just had more people of color writing,

00:17:08.380 then people would want to get their news

00:17:10.140 from a smudgy piece of paper.

00:17:12.840 Because people love their smudgy pieces of paper in 2024.

00:17:16.860 If only, if only,

00:17:18.980 the writing was more diverse.

00:17:20.600 But that didn't work out.

00:17:21.680 I'm very surprised.

00:17:24.240 Elon Musk pointed out the other day

00:17:25.920 in some public forum

00:17:27.100 that the network news is down about 20 to 30%

00:17:31.380 in the past year,

00:17:32.420 but the traffic on X is up about the same amount.

00:17:37.460 So, how happy am I

00:17:40.240 that I escaped the dying,

00:17:45.340 the terrible newspaper industry,

00:17:49.260 the fake news industry?

00:17:52.240 Anybody who thinks that I'm unhappy

00:17:54.480 about getting out of that industry,

00:17:56.800 you don't know me.

00:17:58.240 Because I felt really, really uncomfortable

00:18:00.640 taking their money.

00:18:02.420 Because I consider the news industry

00:18:05.040 completely corrupt.

00:18:06.480 The newspapers, you know,

00:18:07.780 among the most corrupt.

00:18:09.620 And the fact that I had to rely on them

00:18:12.740 for my income

00:18:13.580 was really, really uncomfortable for me.

00:18:18.060 So, getting canceled

00:18:19.440 and, you know,

00:18:20.700 just having to build something honest

00:18:22.460 to make money

00:18:23.140 was a good feeling, actually.

00:18:25.820 I'm pretty happy about it

00:18:26.960 a year later.

00:18:29.500 Time Magazine's

00:18:30.620 cutting their staff as well.

00:18:32.860 I wonder why people

00:18:33.960 are not trusting

00:18:34.860 the regular mainstream media

00:18:36.280 as much as they did.

00:18:37.660 Well, let's look at

00:18:38.560 what Glenn Greenwald

00:18:40.420 says about Nicole Wallace

00:18:43.620 on MSNBC.

00:18:45.380 So, somebody named

00:18:46.380 ORF

00:18:47.160 on the X platform,

00:18:49.140 O-R-F, 1.00

00:18:50.160 put together a mini documentary

00:18:51.740 titled

00:18:53.220 The Typhoid Mary of Disinformation.

00:18:56.700 And it's just

00:18:58.540 MSNBC host Nicole Wallace

00:19:00.660 and showing

00:19:02.340 one lie after another

00:19:03.740 or disinformation, I guess.

00:19:05.680 We don't know what her

00:19:06.400 internal thoughts were.

00:19:08.300 But it was certainly not true.

00:19:09.560 And when you see

00:19:11.200 them all compiled,

00:19:12.800 it's really good entertainment.

00:19:16.780 Now, let me say something

00:19:18.520 that I don't know

00:19:19.100 if this quite rings true

00:19:20.980 with you yet,

00:19:21.700 but it will.

00:19:23.840 I used to watch the news

00:19:25.500 to learn stuff.

00:19:27.740 Find out about the world.

00:19:30.220 But I no longer do.

00:19:32.000 I literally watch

00:19:33.160 the mainstream news

00:19:34.400 to laugh at how

00:19:36.100 obviously propagandized it is. 0.67

00:19:40.180 So, after the New Hampshire results,

00:19:43.140 now, if you haven't done this,

00:19:44.400 by the way,

00:19:44.740 I recommend it.

00:19:45.960 If you watch Fox News,

00:19:48.220 it's going to be,

00:19:48.960 you know, victory laps

00:19:50.040 and people saying,

00:19:51.120 yay, a Republican

00:19:52.460 did something good.

00:19:54.380 Exactly what you think.

00:19:56.340 But if you watch CNN,

00:19:59.000 there's a whole

00:19:59.700 alternative universe

00:20:01.040 in which they believe

00:20:02.280 January 6th

00:20:03.140 was an insurrection

00:20:04.000 and they can't understand

00:20:05.960 based on their own reporting

00:20:07.620 what's happening.

00:20:08.280 Now, that's funny.

00:20:11.060 The reason that

00:20:12.120 all the hosts of CNN

00:20:13.320 are confused

00:20:14.660 about why Trump

00:20:16.060 is doing so well

00:20:17.020 is because they believe

00:20:18.900 their own fake news.

00:20:21.740 Like, that sounds like

00:20:22.760 I'm making a joke,

00:20:23.860 but that's actually,

00:20:25.180 literally what happened.

00:20:26.700 They convinced themselves

00:20:27.820 that their fake news

00:20:28.820 was real

00:20:29.380 and that Trump

00:20:31.040 did a bunch of real crimes,

00:20:33.520 including a real insurrection.

00:20:34.800 Now, none of that

00:20:36.120 really happened.

00:20:37.600 Whatever problems

00:20:38.760 he has with the legal system,

00:20:40.800 anybody who's objective

00:20:42.060 can see that

00:20:42.840 nobody else

00:20:43.420 would have been charged

00:20:44.120 with that stuff.

00:20:45.440 So, the public

00:20:47.260 can see this clearly.

00:20:49.180 The Republicans say, 1.00

00:20:50.260 oh, the charges are bullshit, 1.00

00:20:52.760 so we'll ignore that. 0.99

00:20:54.400 And January 6th

00:20:55.460 obviously wasn't an insurrection,

00:20:57.720 so we'll just ignore that.

00:20:59.280 And then over at CNN

00:21:01.120 they're like,

00:21:01.960 what's going on?

00:21:03.680 Oh, oh.

00:21:05.580 People,

00:21:06.180 people don't seem

00:21:07.200 to understand

00:21:07.840 that they seem

00:21:09.080 to be supporting

00:21:09.760 an insurrectionist.

00:21:11.400 It's because the people

00:21:12.540 do understand

00:21:13.400 that all the news 0.99

00:21:14.220 is bullshit, 1.00

00:21:15.580 so they're just ignoring it. 1.00

00:21:17.180 But to watch CNN

00:21:18.020 try to navigate

00:21:19.160 why people are acting

00:21:21.920 irrationally

00:21:22.680 according to them,

00:21:23.780 it's because

00:21:24.720 they don't believe CNN.

00:21:27.120 That's the whole story,

00:21:28.140 and they can't say that.

00:21:29.560 They can't say it out loud

00:21:30.760 because it would

00:21:31.240 give away the game.

00:21:32.620 So, instead,

00:21:33.160 they have to act confused,

00:21:35.120 and then they have to say

00:21:36.240 there must be something

00:21:37.020 wrong with all those Republicans. 0.94

00:21:38.580 They must be in a cult.

00:21:41.040 So, the best

00:21:41.860 they could come up with

00:21:42.920 is that Republicans

00:21:44.800 are in a cult.

00:21:46.040 Not that they've lied

00:21:47.200 about every major

00:21:48.780 political story

00:21:49.760 for seven years.

00:21:51.620 That part doesn't come up

00:21:53.160 as a possibility

00:21:54.200 of, you know,

00:21:55.420 why things are

00:21:56.080 the way they are.

00:21:57.020 Nope.

00:21:57.620 It doesn't even come up.

00:21:59.280 All right.

00:22:01.300 Van Jones

00:22:02.220 is giving some

00:22:04.640 useful advice

00:22:06.700 to the Biden campaign

00:22:07.780 that he should stay hidden

00:22:09.740 since every time

00:22:11.160 he appears in public

00:22:12.060 it doesn't inspire confidence.

00:22:13.540 Well, I think that is harsh.

00:22:18.200 Van Jones,

00:22:18.860 I don't think you should say

00:22:19.920 that the less we see

00:22:21.200 of Biden,

00:22:21.720 the more we like him.

00:22:23.560 In effect,

00:22:24.380 that's what he's saying.

00:22:26.060 It's true,

00:22:26.780 but I think it's very unfair

00:22:29.160 and unkind.

00:22:30.720 Now,

00:22:31.280 if we're only going to talk

00:22:32.900 about the bad things

00:22:33.920 that Biden does,

00:22:34.800 I don't think that's fair.

00:22:35.980 We should show both sides.

00:22:38.100 So,

00:22:39.400 although Van Jones says,

00:22:41.700 and a lot of people would agree

00:22:42.820 that Biden does not inspire confidence,

00:22:44.760 I think he does.

00:22:45.780 And there's a good example of it.

00:22:48.140 There's a video clip

00:22:49.160 going around today.

00:22:50.920 And I'll just quote him

00:22:52.660 because when Biden

00:22:53.780 picks his words,

00:22:54.800 he does it so well

00:22:55.720 and he enunciates so clearly

00:22:58.380 that I don't want

00:23:00.100 to characterize it.

00:23:00.980 I just want to read

00:23:01.660 his exact words

00:23:02.600 the way he did it.

00:23:04.940 President Biden said,

00:23:07.240 So,

00:23:12.840 I was feeling a little down

00:23:14.820 before I heard that.

00:23:16.620 And then I thought,

00:23:18.000 wow.

00:23:19.260 Yeah,

00:23:19.480 maybe he's right.

00:23:21.920 Maybe we shouldn't.

00:23:24.960 So,

00:23:28.580 I wrote it down

00:23:29.240 because I know

00:23:30.280 I'm going to want to tell

00:23:31.020 my grandparent

00:23:31.760 or my grandkids someday.

00:23:33.680 I don't have grandkids,

00:23:34.980 but if I did,

00:23:35.920 just go with it.

00:23:36.680 Roll with it.

00:23:37.300 Roll with it.

00:23:38.980 I want to sit them down

00:23:40.160 someday and say,

00:23:41.060 you know, kids,

00:23:41.560 it looks bad.

00:23:42.860 The world looks like

00:23:43.660 a tough place.

00:23:44.900 But I'd like you to remember

00:23:46.300 the inspirational words

00:23:47.560 of our greatest president,

00:23:49.480 Joe Biden,

00:23:50.860 who once said,

00:23:52.500 and go forward,

00:23:59.740 go forward 0.98

00:24:00.400 and slay. 0.95

00:24:02.020 Well, 0.97

00:24:04.820 meanwhile,

00:24:05.300 over at the University

00:24:06.180 of Wisconsin Law School,

00:24:07.700 there's a course

00:24:08.540 that you have to take

00:24:09.320 that teaches you

00:24:10.640 there are no such thing

00:24:11.660 as exceptional white people.

00:24:13.500 Wait,

00:24:13.780 what?

00:24:14.680 Yep,

00:24:14.980 there are no 0.59

00:24:15.360 exceptional white people.

00:24:18.700 It actually says that.

00:24:20.760 Like,

00:24:21.240 it's written down

00:24:21.980 in actual words

00:24:23.900 on a document

00:24:25.000 officially.

00:24:27.460 No exceptional white people.

00:24:28.900 So,

00:24:31.000 good.

00:24:31.340 I didn't know that.

00:24:33.340 Good to know.

00:24:34.600 Good to do.

00:24:38.440 Yeah.

00:24:39.420 And one section

00:24:40.980 reminded white students

00:24:43.320 they benefit

00:24:43.860 from racial oppression

00:24:44.860 regardless of their

00:24:46.020 correctional efforts.

00:24:47.600 So,

00:24:47.960 no matter what you do, 0.72

00:24:48.980 you're still a racist. 0.94

00:24:49.820 If you were 0.99

00:24:52.660 a rational white person

00:24:53.960 and you knew

00:24:56.100 there was a,

00:24:56.960 let's say,

00:24:57.320 a group

00:24:57.860 or an organization

00:24:58.780 that said

00:25:01.440 that no matter

00:25:02.000 what you do,

00:25:02.660 you're a racist, 0.97

00:25:03.720 what would be 0.98

00:25:04.500 your right approach?

00:25:07.560 Spend more time

00:25:08.360 with them?

00:25:09.480 Get to know them? 1.00

00:25:11.240 Or get the fuck 0.99

00:25:12.560 away from them? 0.99

00:25:13.920 What would be

00:25:14.860 the smart approach?

00:25:17.480 I don't know. 1.00

00:25:17.720 I think get the fuck 0.98

00:25:19.220 away from people 0.99

00:25:20.040 who would say

00:25:21.340 things like this

00:25:22.080 and put it in writing.

00:25:23.780 Yeah.

00:25:24.180 You want to get 0.99

00:25:24.700 the fuck away. 0.99

00:25:25.900 Meanwhile, 0.99

00:25:26.500 in Texas,

00:25:28.780 there's more,

00:25:31.060 I think there's

00:25:31.600 a bit of a public

00:25:33.400 push for maybe

00:25:34.320 Texas fighting back

00:25:35.500 against the feds,

00:25:36.900 against the feds

00:25:38.020 who won in

00:25:38.620 the Supreme Court.

00:25:39.700 The Supreme Court

00:25:40.200 said that the feds

00:25:41.060 can take down

00:25:41.640 the barbed wire

00:25:42.280 that the Texas state

00:25:43.500 put up to try

00:25:44.880 to protect Texas

00:25:45.740 from the immigrants. 0.86

00:25:46.480 But the feds

00:25:48.420 are taking it down?

00:25:50.140 Okay.

00:25:51.060 But there's some reports

00:25:52.100 that the Texas

00:25:52.800 National Guard

00:25:53.640 is maybe not

00:25:54.720 going to back down

00:25:55.500 and might put up

00:25:56.120 some more wire,

00:25:56.940 but I don't believe

00:25:57.520 those reports yet.

00:25:58.840 I would say

00:25:59.480 I would hold on

00:26:00.940 believing that

00:26:01.560 that's going to happen.

00:26:02.640 Maybe.

00:26:05.600 And,

00:26:06.260 you know,

00:26:07.800 there was a little bit

00:26:08.660 of a push for them

00:26:09.400 to defy.

00:26:10.400 What would happen

00:26:11.040 if they did defy?

00:26:13.120 Suppose Texas

00:26:13.940 just said,

00:26:14.560 you can take down

00:26:15.820 our fence all day

00:26:16.680 and we'll just

00:26:17.180 put a new one up

00:26:18.000 as soon as you're gone.

00:26:19.520 What if they just

00:26:20.280 kept putting it back up?

00:26:22.820 Would it come to arrests?

00:26:24.940 Would somebody

00:26:25.400 get arrested?

00:26:27.420 Do you think

00:26:28.100 the Biden administration

00:26:29.140 could deal with

00:26:31.040 an American

00:26:31.960 being arrested

00:26:32.720 for trying to

00:26:33.480 protect the border?

00:26:34.240 Are they going to

00:26:36.140 arrest the National Guard?

00:26:38.100 Are they going to

00:26:38.740 arrest the governor?

00:26:39.380 On one hand,

00:26:43.180 I don't want to see

00:26:43.880 a fight between Texas

00:26:45.060 and the federal government

00:26:46.040 because it could get ugly.

00:26:47.460 On the other hand,

00:26:48.280 I'm really curious

00:26:49.240 how it would go.

00:26:52.180 Because,

00:26:52.960 as long as

00:26:53.820 immigration

00:26:54.440 and uncontrolled

00:26:55.780 immigration

00:26:56.220 is the number one

00:26:57.240 issue in the country,

00:26:58.280 along with economics,

00:26:59.440 same issue in a sense,

00:27:01.220 or the Venn diagrams

00:27:02.720 are pretty overlapping,

00:27:04.240 I feel like

00:27:06.700 the public

00:27:08.360 would not

00:27:09.000 be okay

00:27:10.300 with

00:27:10.780 a Texas official,

00:27:12.980 especially a military official,

00:27:14.980 being

00:27:15.400 arrested

00:27:16.480 for protecting

00:27:17.200 the country.

00:27:19.480 I don't know

00:27:20.440 what would happen.

00:27:21.100 I don't recommend it,

00:27:22.100 but we might find out.

00:27:23.560 Well,

00:27:23.840 let's talk about

00:27:24.360 the Patriot Front.

00:27:25.520 Remember I told you

00:27:26.280 that watching the news

00:27:27.400 feels different now?

00:27:29.580 There was a time

00:27:30.600 when this group,

00:27:32.200 the Patriot Front,

00:27:33.160 if I saw them

00:27:33.960 marching,

00:27:34.420 I'd say,

00:27:34.780 well,

00:27:34.880 there's a real news story.

00:27:36.200 I need to dig

00:27:37.400 into the details of this

00:27:38.540 and understand it

00:27:39.340 and everything.

00:27:40.120 Who are these people?

00:27:41.600 And now it's just funny,

00:27:43.660 isn't it?

00:27:44.280 Because they're so

00:27:44.940 obviously not organic

00:27:46.420 and not,

00:27:47.880 whatever they are,

00:27:48.900 they're not what

00:27:49.340 they say they are.

00:27:50.280 That's the only thing

00:27:50.900 you can know for sure.

00:27:52.020 So when I watch them,

00:27:53.100 it's as humor.

00:27:55.740 It's like comedy.

00:27:57.180 Are you with me?

00:27:59.180 Whenever you see

00:28:00.740 the Patriot Front

00:28:01.680 in the news,

00:28:02.380 you tell me

00:28:03.600 you don't laugh.

00:28:05.200 You laugh.

00:28:07.360 Right?

00:28:08.000 When you see

00:28:08.760 Joe Biden

00:28:09.320 giving a speech,

00:28:11.200 do you say to yourself,

00:28:12.400 oh,

00:28:12.540 there's some new information

00:28:13.860 that will inform us

00:28:16.240 about the country?

00:28:17.000 No,

00:28:17.360 you actually laugh.

00:28:19.180 You literally laugh.

00:28:20.880 When Trump

00:28:21.680 is giving a rally

00:28:22.600 and he's assigning nicknames

00:28:24.720 to his enemies

00:28:25.380 and stuff,

00:28:26.400 do you say to yourself,

00:28:27.360 oh,

00:28:27.460 those nicknames

00:28:28.200 are an important

00:28:29.140 feature of reality

00:28:30.060 or do you say,

00:28:31.120 oh,

00:28:31.220 that's pretty funny.

00:28:32.080 That's a good nickname.

00:28:33.900 Especially when he

00:28:34.720 retires them. 0.76

00:28:36.780 I'm going to talk

00:28:37.460 about that in a minute.

00:28:38.880 But the Patriot Front

00:28:40.240 remind me to talk

00:28:41.040 about retiring nicknames

00:28:42.340 in case I forget.

00:28:44.740 So apparently

00:28:45.380 there's a video

00:28:46.120 that purports

00:28:47.200 to be somebody

00:28:48.820 catching the leader

00:28:51.120 of the Patriot Front

00:28:52.140 without a mask.

00:28:53.600 He actually gives his name

00:28:54.820 and he's asked

00:28:56.220 if they're federal agents.

00:29:00.340 Here's his exact words

00:29:02.020 when asked

00:29:02.740 if they're feds.

00:29:05.080 Quote,

00:29:05.740 I'm not a federal agent.

00:29:09.040 Hmm.

00:29:10.300 Was that exactly

00:29:11.320 the answer to the question?

00:29:12.800 I'm not a federal agent.

00:29:14.900 Hmm.

00:29:16.200 Huh.

00:29:16.620 What would that leave

00:29:17.780 unspoken?

00:29:20.080 Well,

00:29:20.920 that would not answer

00:29:22.340 the question,

00:29:23.000 are there any feds

00:29:24.120 in the group?

00:29:25.440 Wouldn't answer

00:29:26.120 that question.

00:29:27.140 It wouldn't answer

00:29:28.020 the question

00:29:28.460 if he's working

00:29:29.340 with the feds.

00:29:31.680 Would it?

00:29:33.200 It wouldn't answer

00:29:34.120 the question

00:29:34.540 if he's working

00:29:35.260 for somebody.

00:29:37.780 Perhaps

00:29:38.220 an entity

00:29:39.620 that gives them money.

00:29:41.440 Doesn't answer

00:29:42.000 that question,

00:29:42.480 does it?

00:29:43.080 The only thing we know

00:29:44.080 is that he's not

00:29:44.900 personally on the payroll

00:29:46.080 of the federal government,

00:29:47.520 which I completely believe.

00:29:49.900 I don't believe

00:29:50.840 that the leader

00:29:51.400 of the group

00:29:51.760 is on the payroll

00:29:52.580 of the federal government.

00:29:54.820 But

00:29:56.640 this,

00:29:58.320 ladies and gentlemen,

00:29:59.140 is what you call

00:29:59.920 a too-specific denial.

00:30:02.760 It's the number one

00:30:04.080 way you can pick a lie.

00:30:06.200 Right?

00:30:06.400 There's nothing better

00:30:07.220 than this.

00:30:08.160 The number one way

00:30:09.320 you can identify a lie

00:30:10.620 is the overly specific

00:30:12.760 denial. 0.72

00:30:15.940 Did you kill that 0.81

00:30:17.120 victim 0.99

00:30:18.940 at 10 o'clock

00:30:20.880 last night?

00:30:22.160 No.

00:30:23.040 God, no.

00:30:23.780 I didn't kill him

00:30:24.380 at 10 o'clock.

00:30:26.840 It was 9.59.

00:30:28.620 I checked.

00:30:30.780 Yeah.

00:30:31.140 So the overly

00:30:32.160 specific denials

00:30:33.360 are almost

00:30:34.380 a guarantee

00:30:34.920 of guilt.

00:30:36.120 It's not a guarantee,

00:30:38.000 but it's really close.

00:30:38.980 Now, would you like

00:30:40.700 to see what

00:30:41.300 somebody would say

00:30:42.260 if they had no

00:30:43.180 involvement whatsoever

00:30:44.200 with the feds?

00:30:45.880 Hey, people say

00:30:47.060 you're feds.

00:30:48.080 What do you say

00:30:48.520 to that?

00:30:49.960 Here's an honest answer

00:30:51.880 if there's an honest

00:30:52.780 answer to be had.

00:30:54.580 It would go like this.

00:30:55.800 We have no connections

00:30:57.120 to the feds whatsoever.

00:30:59.260 Nobody in our group

00:31:00.080 has any connections

00:31:00.860 to the feds.

00:31:02.460 Does that answer

00:31:03.400 all of your questions?

00:31:05.100 Kind of does.

00:31:06.800 Kind of does.

00:31:07.640 Yeah.

00:31:08.360 Nobody in the group

00:31:09.340 has any connection.

00:31:11.540 Not financial.

00:31:12.820 Not you're on the payroll.

00:31:14.500 Not they're your friends.

00:31:15.800 Not you're doing them

00:31:16.440 a favor.

00:31:17.160 No connection.

00:31:18.440 Nobody in the group.

00:31:19.360 No connection.

00:31:20.820 That's a no.

00:31:22.960 Do you know

00:31:23.440 what's not a no?

00:31:24.620 I'm not a federal agent.

00:31:28.180 That's not a no.

00:31:31.420 Right.

00:31:32.040 Now, how many of you

00:31:32.860 caught that

00:31:33.500 before I had to explain it?

00:31:35.260 Because this is a basic rule

00:31:37.280 of detecting lies.

00:31:38.740 It's one of the best ones.

00:31:40.380 Yeah.

00:31:40.600 I see a lot of you

00:31:41.660 caught it,

00:31:42.140 and that's good.

00:31:42.920 So you're on to this.

00:31:44.420 Now, am I right?

00:31:46.260 Am I right that

00:31:47.160 now that we can see politics

00:31:48.640 through a persuasion lens,

00:31:50.760 it transforms it

00:31:52.200 into comedy?

00:31:55.080 Perfect example.

00:31:56.600 The Patriot Front

00:31:57.260 is nothing but comedy

00:31:58.480 because you can see

00:31:59.940 through their persuasion

00:32:00.940 so easily.

00:32:01.540 Do I care

00:32:02.840 if the Fed

00:32:03.560 pay them or what?

00:32:05.060 I don't care.

00:32:06.080 It's just funny.

00:32:07.340 They're not serious.

00:32:09.020 It shouldn't matter.

00:32:10.420 Now, will MSNBC

00:32:11.820 and CNN

00:32:12.380 try to treat them

00:32:13.280 like they're

00:32:13.680 a legitimate organization?

00:32:15.160 Of course they will,

00:32:16.640 which would be what?

00:32:18.440 Funny.

00:32:19.680 It would be funny.

00:32:21.660 So let's keep mocking.

00:32:25.240 Well, the good news,

00:32:26.640 it's not all bad news today.

00:32:28.000 There's some good news

00:32:28.800 as well.

00:32:29.160 Well, airlines are doing

00:32:30.840 a great job

00:32:31.560 at increasing diversity.

00:32:34.020 So airlines have made

00:32:35.740 that a priority

00:32:36.360 and the country's

00:32:38.380 a lot better

00:32:38.820 with the diversity.

00:32:40.380 So airlines are

00:32:41.320 improving diversity.

00:32:42.440 So congratulations,

00:32:44.000 airlines,

00:32:45.320 improving diversity.

00:32:48.160 Next story.

00:32:49.840 NBC News says

00:32:51.320 the nose wheel

00:32:52.980 of a Boeing 757 jet

00:32:55.380 fell off

00:32:56.900 and rolled away

00:32:58.400 while the plane

00:32:59.820 was waiting

00:33:00.360 on the runway

00:33:01.040 for takeoff

00:33:01.840 with almost 200 people

00:33:03.720 on board.

00:33:07.680 They were on the runway

00:33:09.400 waiting to take off

00:33:11.440 and the passengers

00:33:13.100 looked out the window

00:33:14.040 and watched

00:33:15.040 the front wheel

00:33:16.540 rolling away

00:33:17.600 down the runway.

00:33:20.280 Now, I don't know

00:33:20.900 if they saw it,

00:33:21.640 but I feel like they could.

00:33:22.840 It makes it a funnier story.

00:33:24.160 So, yeah.

00:33:27.280 Well, at least

00:33:27.900 that's not connected

00:33:28.720 to any other story

00:33:29.720 in the news,

00:33:30.380 so we'll just leave it there.

00:33:33.380 Next story.

00:33:34.920 Moving along.

00:33:36.220 Alaska Airlines says

00:33:37.500 many of its

00:33:38.500 Boeing 737 Max planes

00:33:40.440 were found to have

00:33:41.880 loose bolts.

00:33:45.200 A lot of loose bolts.

00:33:47.200 Huh.

00:33:48.240 Do you know

00:33:48.800 what is the number one thing

00:33:50.140 you check

00:33:51.020 before you fly an airplane?

00:33:52.300 Does anybody know

00:33:55.980 a private pilot?

00:33:58.660 If you're a private pilot

00:34:00.140 and you're in charge

00:34:01.800 of the airplane,

00:34:02.960 you literally

00:34:04.460 go around it

00:34:05.360 and check the bolts

00:34:06.560 every time you fly it.

00:34:09.440 Did you know that?

00:34:10.960 You don't check the bolts

00:34:12.380 every now and then.

00:34:14.720 No, you check the bolts.

00:34:16.560 You check the bolts

00:34:17.980 every single time

00:34:19.780 you fly it.

00:34:20.460 How many of you

00:34:22.500 knew that?

00:34:23.900 Now, obviously,

00:34:24.620 it's a different situation

00:34:25.740 with a jet.

00:34:27.400 You know, the pilot's

00:34:28.180 not walking around

00:34:28.860 the jet looking for bolts.

00:34:30.160 But don't you think

00:34:30.940 somebody should?

00:34:32.680 Don't you think

00:34:33.360 that every time

00:34:34.980 they fly,

00:34:35.960 somebody ought to check

00:34:36.820 to see if a bolt

00:34:37.540 is coming loose?

00:34:38.680 Maybe every time.

00:34:40.860 So, anyway,

00:34:41.900 that's happening.

00:34:44.820 So, again,

00:34:45.640 I just read you

00:34:47.100 the news

00:34:47.640 with no commentary.

00:34:50.460 Was it funny?

00:34:52.640 By itself, right?

00:34:54.220 I didn't add a thing.

00:34:56.040 The news was funny

00:34:57.280 without any commentary.

00:34:59.380 I just read it to you

00:35:00.280 in the order

00:35:00.960 that I wrote it down.

00:35:02.540 They were all real stories.

00:35:04.620 Yeah.

00:35:05.480 All right,

00:35:05.980 here's another one.

00:35:07.240 Let's see if this...

00:35:08.920 Hunter Biden,

00:35:10.160 apparently he sold

00:35:10.900 $1.5 million

00:35:11.980 of paintings so far.

00:35:14.420 There have been

00:35:14.740 10 buyers

00:35:15.400 and some of them

00:35:16.100 bought multiple paintings.

00:35:17.920 Because, you know,

00:35:19.680 one Hunter Biden painting

00:35:21.340 is never enough.

00:35:24.320 You want multiple.

00:35:27.540 Now, I was thinking

00:35:28.740 of getting myself

00:35:29.500 a Hunter Biden painting,

00:35:31.320 but if I feel...

00:35:33.280 Well, again,

00:35:34.000 for you business model nerds,

00:35:36.240 for the business model nerds,

00:35:38.340 I'd like to explain

00:35:39.320 a way to get

00:35:40.060 a high-quality

00:35:40.880 Hunter Biden painting

00:35:42.560 without spending

00:35:43.320 this much money.

00:35:45.700 You buy it

00:35:46.540 from one of the people

00:35:47.280 who bought it.

00:35:49.560 Because you find

00:35:50.340 one of those people

00:35:51.000 who paid half a million dollars

00:35:52.280 for a painting,

00:35:53.080 and you say,

00:35:54.620 do you have that

00:35:55.640 on your wall?

00:35:57.720 No.

00:35:59.640 Do you mind

00:36:00.200 if I buy it from you?

00:36:02.540 How much?

00:36:04.320 And I'd say,

00:36:05.640 $200.

00:36:08.400 And then they'd say,

00:36:09.440 $200.

00:36:10.960 I paid half a million dollars

00:36:12.280 for this.

00:36:13.320 And then I'd say,

00:36:14.260 do you have any other offers?

00:36:19.660 And ladies and gentlemen,

00:36:21.880 here's another example

00:36:23.780 of where the news

00:36:25.120 is just funny.

00:36:28.260 It's funny because

00:36:29.460 you can see through it.

00:36:30.980 Right?

00:36:32.220 I didn't add anything to it.

00:36:35.260 I didn't add anything.

00:36:36.420 Do you think

00:36:37.680 that the secondary value

00:36:39.160 of this art

00:36:39.940 is going up in value

00:36:43.080 like art does?

00:36:44.760 You know,

00:36:44.940 if you buy art

00:36:45.660 from one of the masters,

00:36:46.740 it probably goes up in value.

00:36:48.160 Do you think

00:36:48.500 Hunter Biden's art

00:36:49.400 is collectively worth

00:36:51.140 $1.5 million,

00:36:52.180 the stuff they bought already?

00:36:53.640 Or do you think

00:36:54.460 the real value

00:36:55.160 is maybe closer to zero

00:36:56.580 after you've bribed

00:36:57.800 the government?

00:37:01.200 So,

00:37:01.960 there's another story

00:37:02.940 that's just funny.

00:37:03.620 It's just funny.

00:37:05.380 It's funny because

00:37:06.480 you can see exactly

00:37:07.520 what's going on, right?

00:37:09.440 Am I right?

00:37:10.640 It's only funny

00:37:11.840 because now we're

00:37:13.180 sophisticated enough

00:37:14.460 to spot money laundering.

00:37:17.080 How many of you,

00:37:18.440 let's say seven years ago,

00:37:21.360 would not have even

00:37:22.340 be keyed in

00:37:23.700 to the fact

00:37:24.200 that it's an obvious

00:37:25.360 money laundering

00:37:26.220 bribery scheme?

00:37:27.700 You might not have

00:37:28.740 even noticed.

00:37:29.560 You would have just said,

00:37:30.300 oh,

00:37:30.860 that's interesting

00:37:31.680 that Hunter's getting

00:37:32.460 out of the

00:37:33.400 influence business

00:37:34.860 and he's becoming

00:37:35.500 an artist.

00:37:36.520 But once you know

00:37:37.540 that it's the most

00:37:39.720 classic money laundering

00:37:41.120 scheme of all time,

00:37:42.320 art,

00:37:43.400 then it just looks funny

00:37:45.360 that he's doing it

00:37:46.500 right in front of us,

00:37:47.720 you know,

00:37:48.040 shamelessly.

00:37:51.080 All right,

00:37:52.020 Vivek,

00:37:52.680 talking about

00:37:53.320 Nikki Hilly's

00:37:53.960 biggest supporters,

00:37:54.960 he was posting this today,

00:37:57.040 Vivek Ramaswamy,

00:37:58.580 that he said

00:37:59.100 that Nikki Hilly's

00:37:59.800 biggest supporters

00:38:00.480 include the same

00:38:01.320 left-wing megadonors,

00:38:02.680 example,

00:38:03.600 Reid Hoffman,

00:38:04.340 who funded the lawsuits

00:38:05.820 against Trump.

00:38:07.560 It's now plainly obvious,

00:38:08.940 says Vivek,

00:38:09.620 that her sole objective,

00:38:11.300 Nikki Haley's,

00:38:12.400 is to await Trump's

00:38:14.080 unlawful elimination

00:38:15.120 from the ballot

00:38:15.820 and trot into power.

00:38:18.380 It does look like that,

00:38:19.720 doesn't it?

00:38:20.800 And it's kind of

00:38:22.040 funny.

00:38:25.580 The best play

00:38:27.420 that the Democrats

00:38:28.820 have

00:38:29.380 is to hope

00:38:30.900 that they can

00:38:31.440 jail Trump

00:38:32.260 on trumped-up charges,

00:38:34.060 which is

00:38:34.420 the simulation

00:38:35.760 talking to us,

00:38:36.580 trumped-up charges,

00:38:38.300 or that

00:38:39.240 he gets 0.89

00:38:41.600 assassinated,

00:38:42.440 I guess,

00:38:43.520 because people

00:38:44.040 are saying it

00:38:44.520 out loud

00:38:44.860 at this point.

00:38:47.400 So,

00:38:48.120 does it seem

00:38:48.820 funny to you

00:38:49.560 that the only way

00:38:51.060 to stop Trump

00:38:51.840 has nothing

00:38:52.720 to do with elections?

00:38:53.620 The Democrats

00:38:55.700 know

00:38:56.120 that they ran

00:38:57.780 a cadaver

00:38:58.420 against the most

00:38:59.240 popular

00:38:59.940 political figure

00:39:02.040 since what?

00:39:06.140 Reagan?

00:39:06.820 Kennedy?

00:39:07.320 I don't know.

00:39:08.540 Yeah.

00:39:09.200 So, no,

00:39:09.840 I realize, you know,

00:39:10.840 a big part of the country

00:39:11.800 doesn't like him at all,

00:39:12.900 but still,

00:39:13.480 he's a force of nature,

00:39:14.880 and they're running

00:39:15.740 a cadaver against him,

00:39:17.020 and maybe that

00:39:18.060 won't work out.

00:39:18.800 So, they're going

00:39:19.200 to need a plan B.

00:39:19.960 All right.

00:39:26.020 So,

00:39:27.020 here's what ABC News

00:39:28.800 said about it.

00:39:29.660 They said,

00:39:30.480 the latest,

00:39:31.600 New Hampshire primary

00:39:32.440 sees strong turnout

00:39:33.540 of unaffiliated voters

00:39:35.440 and moderates.

00:39:37.540 Yeah.

00:39:38.120 So,

00:39:38.520 unaffiliated voters

00:39:40.000 and moderates.

00:39:41.500 That's what ABC News

00:39:43.020 calls the non-Republicans

00:39:45.380 who are voting

00:39:46.380 in the Republican primary,

00:39:48.580 which is legal.

00:39:49.960 Legally,

00:39:50.500 they can do it.

00:39:52.940 What would you call it?

00:39:55.240 Would you call it

00:39:56.220 a strong turnout

00:39:57.080 of unaffiliated

00:39:58.320 and moderates?

00:39:59.400 Or would you call it

00:40:00.640 Democrats trying to cheat

00:40:02.400 to make it look like

00:40:04.040 Trump doesn't have

00:40:05.720 a commanding lead

00:40:06.640 when, in fact,

00:40:08.000 with the Republicans,

00:40:09.060 he has a commanding lead?

00:40:10.620 But if they get enough

00:40:11.620 Democrats

00:40:12.240 to vote for Haley,

00:40:14.840 it'll look like

00:40:15.460 it's a close election,

00:40:16.600 and maybe she should

00:40:17.280 stay in the race.

00:40:19.360 Now,

00:40:20.700 don't you think

00:40:21.460 that's funny

00:40:22.040 that they call that

00:40:23.500 unaffiliated and moderates

00:40:25.620 when all it was

00:40:27.000 was Democrats cheating?

00:40:28.080 So they cheat

00:40:31.420 right in front of us,

00:40:33.540 like right in front of us,

00:40:34.740 transparently,

00:40:35.500 they're cheating.

00:40:36.600 And, you know,

00:40:37.300 it's legal,

00:40:37.960 but it's still cheating

00:40:38.780 because they're trying

00:40:39.820 to get a,

00:40:40.460 they're trying to come up,

00:40:42.340 they're trying to get

00:40:42.980 a disingenuous result.

00:40:45.180 They're trying to fool

00:40:46.360 the news,

00:40:47.140 who are on their side,

00:40:48.080 of course,

00:40:48.420 the Democrats,

00:40:49.400 into reporting it

00:40:50.540 like the result

00:40:52.160 meant something.

00:40:52.880 It doesn't mean anything.

00:40:56.720 If you do an election

00:40:57.980 where anybody can vote

00:40:59.620 as a Republican

00:41:00.460 and half of them

00:41:01.300 tell you in advance

00:41:02.180 it's just a,

00:41:03.000 it's a play,

00:41:03.940 it's an op,

00:41:04.660 and their vote

00:41:05.340 is not even serious

00:41:06.300 in any way,

00:41:07.900 and then the news

00:41:08.620 reports it like,

00:41:09.620 like there was a primary,

00:41:11.360 or whatever.

00:41:12.760 Yeah, primary, I guess.

00:41:14.800 Right.

00:41:15.500 So it worked.

00:41:16.960 Isn't that funny?

00:41:18.700 Because the news industry

00:41:20.100 simply has to talk

00:41:21.180 about whatever's happening.

00:41:23.720 They know they're

00:41:24.520 going to talk about it,

00:41:25.880 so there's going to be

00:41:26.620 some chat-chat

00:41:27.400 about this primary,

00:41:28.920 but even though

00:41:29.820 every single observer,

00:41:31.240 and they even say it out loud,

00:41:32.960 knows that the result 0.51

00:41:33.960 is nonsense,

00:41:35.660 it's a complete 0.84

00:41:36.320 nonsense result

00:41:37.300 because it's a combination

00:41:38.540 of people who are voting

00:41:39.860 for different reasons.

00:41:41.980 The average of people

00:41:43.520 who are cheating

00:41:44.040 and the people

00:41:44.720 who are picking

00:41:46.000 a real president

00:41:46.700 is not a thing.

00:41:49.280 Let me say that better.

00:41:50.340 If you took the average

00:41:52.080 of people who wanted

00:41:53.120 to pick a president

00:41:54.160 and you took the average,

00:41:56.140 that might tell you something.

00:41:57.400 Oh, on average,

00:41:58.400 people like this candidate

00:41:59.380 over another.

00:42:00.340 But if you take

00:42:00.940 the average

00:42:01.800 of people who are there

00:42:03.200 to pick a Republican nominee

00:42:05.440 plus the people

00:42:07.820 who are there

00:42:08.280 just to bias the thing

00:42:09.660 and ruin the experiment

00:42:10.980 and you take the average,

00:42:12.820 that's nothing.

00:42:15.360 But the news

00:42:16.500 is reporting on the average.

00:42:17.660 They know it's nothing.

00:42:20.500 You know nothing

00:42:21.840 if you add together

00:42:22.940 numbers that don't have

00:42:24.260 anything to do

00:42:24.820 with each other,

00:42:25.660 which is what they did.

00:42:27.560 Then took the average.

00:42:30.500 All right.

00:42:31.280 So that's crazy.

00:42:33.900 Also, Vivek is pointing out

00:42:35.240 that the Wall Street Journal

00:42:36.640 board,

00:42:37.140 they seem to be,

00:42:42.180 some say,

00:42:44.040 priming the country

00:42:44.960 for an assassination.

00:42:46.940 And here are the exact words.

00:42:50.500 So one of the

00:42:51.560 Wall Street Journal board

00:42:54.580 wrote this.

00:42:55.720 Strange things can happen.

00:42:57.140 So they're saying

00:42:57.700 that Nikki Haley's staying in

00:42:59.200 makes sense

00:43:00.500 because things could happen.

00:43:02.560 Strange things could happen

00:43:03.660 to Trump

00:43:04.080 between now and Election Day.

00:43:05.240 Yeah, strange things.

00:43:07.640 What would be

00:43:08.920 some of the strange things?

00:43:11.200 Well,

00:43:14.040 strange things

00:43:16.520 can happen

00:43:16.940 with candidates

00:43:17.640 who are this old

00:43:18.540 and this disliked

00:43:19.700 by a majority

00:43:20.320 of the public,

00:43:21.040 they say.

00:43:21.820 The 2024 election

00:43:23.100 may have more twists

00:43:24.440 before the Trump

00:43:25.280 versus Biden

00:43:26.060 die is cast.

00:43:28.860 How many of you

00:43:29.880 recognize that quote,

00:43:31.320 the die is cast?

00:43:32.480 That's a Caesar quote.

00:43:37.320 Do you know

00:43:37.660 what happened to Caesar?

00:43:39.660 He was assassinated.

00:43:43.780 Yeah. 0.86

00:43:44.280 And die is, 0.56

00:43:45.460 die is right 0.95

00:43:46.520 in the sentence. 1.00

00:43:47.920 Die. 1.00

00:43:48.440 The die is cast. 0.95

00:43:50.400 So,

00:43:51.600 does it look like

00:43:52.720 we're being prepped?

00:43:55.240 By the way,

00:43:56.080 all of your comments

00:43:57.120 have stopped

00:43:57.760 on locals.

00:43:58.840 looks like.

00:44:02.120 I can see

00:44:02.820 that you're typing,

00:44:03.560 so,

00:44:05.180 anyway,

00:44:05.640 your comments

00:44:06.120 just stopped.

00:44:08.260 But they're still

00:44:09.040 working on the other

00:44:09.800 platform,

00:44:10.900 other platforms.

00:44:11.980 So,

00:44:12.280 the Rumble Studio

00:44:12.940 is working.

00:44:16.680 Anyway,

00:44:17.580 so,

00:44:17.880 yeah,

00:44:18.240 I think it's exactly

00:44:19.860 what it looks like.

00:44:21.440 I think the Democrats

00:44:23.200 literally

00:44:24.000 would do anything

00:44:25.900 to stop Trump.

00:44:26.760 they would put him

00:44:28.100 in jail,

00:44:28.660 they would take him

00:44:29.180 off the ballot,

00:44:29.920 and if that failed,

00:44:32.020 it could get worse.

00:44:33.840 Absolutely.

00:44:36.540 Let's talk about

00:44:37.420 Vice President,

00:44:38.260 because we'll be

00:44:38.720 talking about that

00:44:39.420 until Trump picks one.

00:44:41.160 It looks like

00:44:42.120 Glenn Beck,

00:44:43.320 as you know,

00:44:44.480 said Vivek

00:44:45.200 would be a good choice.

00:44:46.040 He told President Trump

00:44:47.100 that in person,

00:44:47.960 he says.

00:44:48.920 A lot of other people

00:44:49.840 say it too.

00:44:50.860 And then when Trump,

00:44:52.080 as you know,

00:44:53.080 he won the

00:44:53.740 New Hampshire primary,

00:44:54.900 you probably already

00:44:55.380 know that,

00:44:55.740 but he did something

00:44:58.240 that people are noting

00:44:59.120 was unusual,

00:45:00.820 that in his victory speech,

00:45:02.580 he gave Vivek

00:45:03.780 a minute to speak.

00:45:05.600 I don't think

00:45:06.340 that was that unusual,

00:45:07.780 because he says

00:45:08.400 he loves Vivek,

00:45:09.280 because Vivek says

00:45:09.940 good things about him,

00:45:10.860 and, you know,

00:45:11.760 he's definitely

00:45:12.400 on his side.

00:45:15.200 And Vivek was great

00:45:16.260 for a minute,

00:45:16.900 and it was funny.

00:45:17.640 But here's the funny thing.

00:45:19.080 If you weren't watching

00:45:20.040 CNN's coverage,

00:45:21.440 you missed a good

00:45:22.200 comedy show.

00:45:22.900 So I watched live

00:45:25.160 as Trump

00:45:26.560 was gently

00:45:28.460 mocking Tim Scott

00:45:29.780 for the fact,

00:45:31.600 well, not really

00:45:32.240 mocking Tim Scott,

00:45:33.580 but mocking

00:45:34.440 Nikki Haley

00:45:35.100 for the fact

00:45:36.380 that she was

00:45:37.260 governor who

00:45:37.980 appointed Tim Scott

00:45:39.020 to the position

00:45:40.520 before he wanted

00:45:41.220 himself as senator,

00:45:42.660 and that you would

00:45:46.680 expect, being from

00:45:47.920 the same state,

00:45:48.920 South Carolina,

00:45:50.300 that Nikki Haley

00:45:51.140 and Tim Scott

00:45:51.840 would be on the

00:45:52.260 same page,

00:45:52.820 and you'd expect

00:45:53.420 Tim Scott to

00:45:54.220 maybe endorse

00:45:54.980 his state person,

00:45:56.740 but instead

00:45:57.140 he endorsed Trump.

00:45:59.360 So, you know,

00:46:01.040 Trump was pointing

00:46:01.720 out, you know,

00:46:03.120 that Nikki Haley

00:46:05.320 couldn't even get

00:46:06.300 Tim Scott to endorse her,

00:46:08.320 and here's how

00:46:09.320 CNN played it.

00:46:12.660 They got rid

00:46:13.860 of the laugh track.

00:46:15.680 Now, when I say

00:46:16.240 laugh track, I mean

00:46:17.080 the actual genuine

00:46:18.280 laughter of the

00:46:19.240 audience, and then

00:46:20.940 they did a close-up

00:46:22.060 on Trump, and it

00:46:24.420 completely changed it

00:46:25.780 from a joking thing

00:46:27.560 that his audience

00:46:28.300 enjoyed, because they

00:46:29.680 did, they were

00:46:30.700 laughing pretty hard,

00:46:32.440 to something that

00:46:33.780 they called awkward,

00:46:36.000 and when they went

00:46:36.620 back to whichever

00:46:38.500 the host was,

00:46:39.420 she did the frozen

00:46:41.460 face for a moment

00:46:42.340 and just said,

00:46:43.340 awkward.

00:46:45.400 So everybody who

00:46:46.500 was watching CNN

00:46:47.500 believes that there

00:46:49.100 was an awkward

00:46:49.840 exchange between

00:46:51.340 Tim Scott and

00:46:53.580 Trump, partly

00:46:54.780 because they

00:46:55.380 Rue parted it,

00:46:56.560 and they cut off

00:46:57.320 the part where

00:46:57.920 Tim Scott joked

00:46:58.820 back, because Tim

00:47:00.220 Scott actually went

00:47:01.260 to the podium,

00:47:02.820 you know, and

00:47:03.880 said into the

00:47:04.520 microphone, you

00:47:05.220 know, in sort of

00:47:06.340 an aggressive but

00:47:07.260 joking way, no,

00:47:09.300 it's because I

00:47:09.880 love you more.

00:47:10.940 You know, it's not

00:47:11.300 that I dislike

00:47:12.080 Haley, it's that I

00:47:12.820 love you more,

00:47:13.660 Trump.

00:47:14.400 Now, that was a

00:47:15.140 good, well-played.

00:47:17.360 Tim Scott actually

00:47:18.340 spontaneously and

00:47:20.140 perfectly played the

00:47:21.180 moment to, you

00:47:22.260 know, keep it joking

00:47:23.120 so it wasn't too

00:47:23.920 serious, and CNN

00:47:25.300 got rid of the

00:47:26.680 laughs.

00:47:28.000 If you take the

00:47:28.900 laughs out, it

00:47:30.020 looks really awkward.

00:47:31.580 If you put the

00:47:32.260 laughs in, you

00:47:33.880 could see that,

00:47:34.620 you know, Tim

00:47:35.180 Scott knew he had

00:47:36.580 to, like, respond

00:47:37.660 in a way that

00:47:38.160 wasn't embarrassing,

00:47:39.040 but that he did.

00:47:40.580 So he came off

00:47:41.400 really well, I

00:47:41.960 thought.

00:47:43.000 So, yeah, that

00:47:44.000 was funny.

00:47:45.700 Entertaining fake

00:47:46.400 news.

00:47:48.680 They also say that

00:47:49.820 Trump gave an

00:47:50.420 angry speech.

00:47:52.420 So, again, I

00:47:53.780 didn't watch every

00:47:54.500 minute of Trump's

00:47:55.320 speech, but when I

00:47:56.460 turned it on,

00:47:57.040 everybody was

00:47:57.580 laughing.

00:47:59.080 They were

00:47:59.680 literally joking

00:48:00.400 and laughing at

00:48:01.820 his jokes.

00:48:03.800 And so that's

00:48:04.700 what I saw.

00:48:05.120 Oh, everybody's

00:48:05.660 really happy and

00:48:06.240 laughing.

00:48:06.580 And I turned

00:48:07.360 to CNN, and

00:48:08.240 they're like, he

00:48:09.300 gave such an

00:48:09.880 angry speech.

00:48:11.500 Why does he have

00:48:12.000 to be so angry?

00:48:13.220 Because that's part

00:48:13.980 of their dictator

00:48:14.900 narrative.

00:48:16.100 They have to

00:48:16.800 tell you that he's

00:48:17.600 not only a

00:48:18.200 dictator, but he's

00:48:19.420 an unpredictable

00:48:21.480 chaos dictator.

00:48:24.360 Do you know why

00:48:25.120 they can't say that

00:48:26.340 he's a dictator and

00:48:27.760 just leave it there?

00:48:30.000 Take a guess.

00:48:31.420 Why do you think

00:48:32.080 they can't call

00:48:32.860 Trump a dictator and

00:48:34.820 just say, just he's

00:48:35.920 a dictator, but

00:48:37.260 they also have to

00:48:37.900 say, he's

00:48:39.240 unpredictable,

00:48:40.140 chaos, you 0.52

00:48:41.540 know, evil

00:48:41.940 dictator, not 0.69

00:48:42.740 just a dictator.

00:48:44.020 Do you know

00:48:44.320 why?

00:48:45.540 Do you know

00:48:46.140 how Putin's

00:48:46.900 popularity is in

00:48:48.140 the Russian

00:48:49.020 country?

00:48:51.920 Putin's 0.59

00:48:52.420 popularity, I

00:48:54.460 think, is

00:48:54.880 north of 80%.

00:48:56.300 And I don't see

00:48:59.580 people saying

00:49:00.220 that's a fake

00:49:00.800 number.

00:49:02.660 Now, obviously,

00:49:03.640 the news is very

00:49:04.460 controlled, but

00:49:05.700 Russia has the 0.93

00:49:06.600 Internet.

00:49:07.900 Do they not?

00:49:09.700 Can't every

00:49:10.500 Russian get to the 1.00

00:49:11.660 Internet and see

00:49:12.760 all free information

00:49:14.700 everywhere?

00:49:15.080 I think they can.

00:49:17.920 And they still

00:49:18.680 decided that even

00:49:19.780 in a war that

00:49:21.440 looks to us very

00:49:22.320 optional from

00:49:23.080 Russia's point of 0.94

00:49:23.800 view, that even

00:49:25.240 in a war, the

00:49:27.500 popularity of

00:49:28.360 Putin's like 80%.

00:49:29.440 So just think

00:49:31.900 about this.

00:49:32.960 The best

00:49:33.640 approach that the

00:49:36.160 Democrats could

00:49:36.880 come up with when

00:49:38.240 our border is open

00:49:39.300 and people are

00:49:39.940 pouring over with

00:49:41.020 every kind of crime

00:49:42.100 and fentanyl that

00:49:42.900 you could imagine,

00:49:43.840 as well as good

00:49:44.560 people, of course,

00:49:46.340 that while the

00:49:47.720 country is frightened

00:49:48.520 to death, that

00:49:51.680 they're saying,

00:49:53.040 watch out for the 0.83

00:49:53.560 dictator, because

00:49:55.100 we don't want you

00:49:55.860 to have a president

00:49:56.540 that has 80% of

00:49:57.540 popularity and

00:49:58.520 closed the border,

00:49:59.440 like Putin did.

00:50:01.160 Putin closed his

00:50:02.260 border, 80%

00:50:04.180 of popularity.

00:50:06.140 Now, I'm not

00:50:08.080 coming out in

00:50:08.760 favor of Putin.

00:50:10.100 Somebody will take

00:50:11.440 the clip and take

00:50:12.280 it out of context

00:50:13.220 and say, oh,

00:50:14.560 you're favoring

00:50:15.360 Putin.

00:50:15.700 No, I'm not.

00:50:16.420 I'm not favoring

00:50:17.080 dictators.

00:50:17.580 I'm not saying

00:50:18.320 Trump's a dictator.

00:50:19.380 I'm not saying

00:50:19.840 Putin's a good 0.94

00:50:21.000 guy.

00:50:21.460 He's not.

00:50:23.380 What I'm saying

00:50:24.200 is it's hilarious

00:50:24.940 to me that the

00:50:27.460 Democrats picked

00:50:28.300 as their main

00:50:29.040 attack to smear

00:50:32.080 Trump with the

00:50:34.340 dictator label

00:50:35.280 when the dictator

00:50:36.700 is the most

00:50:37.340 popular person in

00:50:38.360 the world right

00:50:38.880 now, with his

00:50:40.780 own people, 80%.

00:50:42.620 Do you know who

00:50:44.240 else is at that

00:50:45.360 level of popularity?

00:50:47.580 I believe the

00:50:48.840 president of El

00:50:49.820 Salvador, right?

00:50:51.500 President of El

00:50:52.280 Salvador just put

00:50:53.200 like a million

00:50:53.900 people in jail.

00:50:55.680 He put a million

00:50:56.720 people in jail.

00:50:58.560 Does it sound like

00:50:59.420 he followed all the

00:51:00.200 democratic processes?

00:51:01.980 No.

00:51:02.920 He was very popular

00:51:03.820 because he acted

00:51:05.140 like a dictator.

00:51:07.080 Yeah.

00:51:08.260 Now, it's not

00:51:09.560 being presented that

00:51:10.360 way in our press.

00:51:11.160 He's being presented

00:51:11.980 as a champion of

00:51:13.500 democracy and he got

00:51:14.520 rid of the bad guys,

00:51:15.380 which he did.

00:51:15.900 But I think he

00:51:17.400 might have bent a

00:51:18.160 rule or two to

00:51:19.540 get rid of those

00:51:20.160 bad guys, you 0.99

00:51:20.980 know, dictator

00:51:21.920 style.

00:51:22.780 It's just that the

00:51:23.620 public loved it.

00:51:24.860 They said, yeah, if

00:51:25.860 that's the dictator

00:51:26.660 you're going to be,

00:51:27.260 I'll take a little

00:51:27.780 more of that.

00:51:28.880 And when Trump

00:51:29.640 says I'm going to

00:51:30.440 be a dictator when

00:51:31.240 it comes to the

00:51:31.820 border, I don't 0.97

00:51:33.140 say I want less of

00:51:34.120 that.

00:51:35.680 I say when it

00:51:36.540 comes to the

00:51:36.960 border, yes, be a

00:51:38.100 dictator.

00:51:39.060 That is exactly

00:51:40.060 what I want.

00:51:40.760 I want you to be a

00:51:41.700 dictator on the

00:51:43.100 border.

00:51:43.360 Everything else, well,

00:51:46.120 that's a different

00:51:46.540 conversation.

00:51:47.520 But on the border, yes,

00:51:49.880 yes, be a dictator.

00:51:52.260 Go take control and 0.52

00:51:53.200 close that thing. 0.93

00:51:57.000 All right.

00:52:02.200 I talked about CNN

00:52:03.480 being entertaining.

00:52:05.700 MSNBC I just find

00:52:06.820 disturbing.

00:52:07.420 because I'm going to

00:52:09.980 say this, this is not

00:52:11.000 an exaggeration.

00:52:12.320 I mean this in the

00:52:13.560 literal, literal

00:52:16.240 scientific medical

00:52:17.520 sense.

00:52:18.480 When I watch CNN, it

00:52:21.200 looks like people

00:52:21.820 lying and maybe they

00:52:23.440 know they're doing

00:52:24.020 it and they know

00:52:25.060 they're pushing a

00:52:25.660 narrative.

00:52:26.640 They don't look

00:52:27.560 crazy.

00:52:29.160 But when I turn on

00:52:30.120 MSNBC, they don't

00:52:32.340 look like they know

00:52:33.140 they're lying.

00:52:34.280 They actually look 1.00

00:52:35.520 mentally ill. 0.98

00:52:36.220 Now, Nicole

00:52:38.480 Wallace, she looks 1.00

00:52:39.520 like she knows

00:52:40.040 she's lying.

00:52:40.680 She doesn't look

00:52:41.260 mentally ill to me.

00:52:42.720 But when I watch

00:52:43.520 Joy Reid or

00:52:47.500 Racial Madnow, they 1.00

00:52:49.920 actually look like

00:52:50.900 they're having a

00:52:51.420 mental health crisis

00:52:52.420 on TV.

00:52:54.280 Now, again, I'm no

00:52:55.340 mental health

00:52:55.960 professional, so you

00:52:57.220 shouldn't take my

00:52:57.960 mental diagnoses from

00:52:59.380 a distance from people

00:53:00.300 I've never met in

00:53:00.960 a person.

00:53:01.660 That wouldn't be

00:53:02.400 smart.

00:53:03.160 But the way I receive

00:53:04.200 it, just as a

00:53:05.380 viewer, I

00:53:06.200 receive it as

00:53:07.220 mental illness.

00:53:09.000 Do you see that?

00:53:10.320 Or is it just me?

00:53:12.920 Do you see that CNN

00:53:14.300 looks more like just 0.98

00:53:16.160 traditional liars who

00:53:17.420 have a point of view 0.83

00:53:18.160 that they're pushing,

00:53:19.800 and MSNBC looks 0.96

00:53:21.340 actually like mental 0.96

00:53:22.680 illness to me?

00:53:24.400 Not all of them.

00:53:25.520 You know, Chris

00:53:26.180 Hayes looks like he's

00:53:27.020 normal.

00:53:27.420 He just has a point

00:53:28.260 of view.

00:53:29.940 Yeah.

00:53:30.420 I also think it's

00:53:31.520 interesting that Joy

00:53:33.040 Reid, her name is to 0.99

00:53:35.860 read a, you know, her

00:53:36.880 job is to read a

00:53:37.860 teleprompter, but

00:53:41.280 without the joy.

00:53:43.700 So she's literally

00:53:44.860 Joy Reid, whose job

00:53:47.440 is to read stuff but

00:53:49.080 remove the joy and

00:53:50.580 tell you how it's all

00:53:51.260 bad because Trump.

00:53:53.240 That's a weird

00:53:54.040 coincidence.

00:53:55.520 And don't get me

00:53:56.380 started on a racial

00:53:57.400 mad now.

00:53:59.260 That's a weird

00:53:59.940 coincidence, too.

00:54:00.680 All right.

00:54:02.260 Did you hear the

00:54:03.420 secret recording of

00:54:05.540 Carrie Lake attempting 0.98

00:54:07.820 to be bribed by

00:54:09.020 Republican Party chair

00:54:10.340 Jeff DeWitt?

00:54:11.280 Allegedly.

00:54:12.560 Caught on a secret

00:54:13.760 recording?

00:54:14.400 Allegedly.

00:54:15.280 Lots of allegedly's have

00:54:16.420 to be put on here.

00:54:17.520 You know, in the era of

00:54:18.820 AI, I don't automatically

00:54:21.600 know it's real.

00:54:22.960 Right?

00:54:23.260 So I think it's

00:54:25.840 probably real, but you

00:54:28.260 don't automatically know

00:54:29.500 that's real, especially

00:54:30.800 in audio only.

00:54:32.660 So don't assume it's

00:54:34.100 real unless Carrie Lake

00:54:37.120 confirms it, which she

00:54:38.240 might have.

00:54:38.840 She might have done 0.93

00:54:39.520 that.

00:54:39.860 Has she done that yet? 0.99

00:54:41.220 Has Carrie confirmed

00:54:42.160 that it's real?

00:54:43.700 Because if she says it's

00:54:44.900 real, then it's real.

00:54:47.480 All right.

00:54:47.860 Did anybody see that

00:54:48.580 yet?

00:54:49.400 Looks like the comments

00:54:50.680 are working again.

00:54:51.380 All right.

00:54:53.880 Well, so what happened

00:54:56.460 on the recording was

00:54:57.500 this Republican Party

00:54:59.620 chair said there are

00:55:01.220 powerful people who

00:55:02.540 want to keep you out of

00:55:03.500 the race when she was

00:55:04.420 running for Senate in

00:55:05.520 Arizona and that they

00:55:07.660 would be willing to

00:55:08.420 bribe her.

00:55:11.740 You put it right out

00:55:12.840 there.

00:55:13.680 There are powerful

00:55:14.360 people that he

00:55:15.480 wouldn't name.

00:55:18.280 And and he actually

00:55:20.040 said they they want

00:55:21.200 to offer you like a

00:55:22.960 high paying position.

00:55:25.040 And she was like, no,

00:55:26.240 no, you know, this is

00:55:27.300 about the country.

00:55:28.180 I'm not looking for the

00:55:29.040 money.

00:55:30.020 And then when he said,

00:55:31.480 you know, name a

00:55:33.520 number, he actually

00:55:35.400 said, give me a number

00:55:37.640 to take back to them.

00:55:38.960 In other words, how much

00:55:39.920 money would it take?

00:55:41.780 And I think he said

00:55:42.640 something like 10

00:55:43.280 million or he was

00:55:44.380 putting on some big

00:55:45.080 numbers and he was

00:55:46.740 going to take that back

00:55:47.540 to them and say for

00:55:49.220 this amount of money

00:55:50.040 she would leave.

00:55:51.020 But she said, get out 0.98

00:55:52.640 of here.

00:55:53.060 I don't do that.

00:55:54.700 You know, you're

00:55:55.140 trying to bribe me.

00:55:56.380 This is about the

00:55:57.300 country falling apart.

00:55:58.380 This isn't about

00:55:59.000 making money.

00:56:00.380 Now.

00:56:02.360 If Carrie Lake is the

00:56:03.660 one who created that

00:56:04.580 recording and it's not

00:56:06.700 real, that would be

00:56:07.860 hilarious.

00:56:08.180 I don't think that's

00:56:09.000 the case.

00:56:11.460 But I have a much

00:56:13.080 better feeling about

00:56:14.180 Carrie Lake's

00:56:16.640 honesty after hearing

00:56:18.960 the recording.

00:56:20.880 Now, you can't rule

00:56:22.160 out that she prefers to

00:56:23.500 be influenced by some

00:56:24.720 other entity.

00:56:25.560 So you don't know

00:56:26.320 that.

00:56:27.000 But at least she wasn't

00:56:27.960 willing to take a

00:56:28.660 Republican bribe.

00:56:30.700 You know, and you

00:56:32.260 would think that someone

00:56:33.360 who was at least

00:56:34.200 willing to consider a

00:56:36.800 bribe from anybody

00:56:37.820 would have gone

00:56:39.040 further in the

00:56:39.780 conversation, right?

00:56:41.880 If she were the 0.76

00:56:42.940 person who would take

00:56:44.000 a bribe from anyone,

00:56:45.760 the way she would

00:56:46.780 have handled, I think,

00:56:47.880 is, no, that's crazy.

00:56:49.580 What kind of number

00:56:50.120 are they talking about?

00:56:51.880 Right?

00:56:53.120 The fact that Carrie

00:56:54.500 has zero interest in

00:56:56.500 what kind of a number

00:56:57.860 they were talking about,

00:56:59.140 like how many millions

00:57:00.340 of dollars they would

00:57:01.060 give her, she didn't

00:57:02.420 even want to know a

00:57:03.180 number.

00:57:04.660 Now, that tells me she's

00:57:05.720 not one likely to

00:57:07.200 take a bribe in any

00:57:08.860 context.

00:57:09.880 Because if you don't

00:57:10.720 ask for the number,

00:57:12.560 you're really not

00:57:13.380 interested.

00:57:14.300 I mean, that's the

00:57:14.800 minimum you'd ask for.

00:57:15.740 It's like, no, I would

00:57:16.860 never do that.

00:57:17.520 How much are they

00:57:18.040 offering?

00:57:19.160 Because even I do that

00:57:20.280 in my own life.

00:57:21.620 People will make an

00:57:22.420 offer for something I

00:57:23.380 don't want to do.

00:57:25.380 I remember early in

00:57:27.220 Dilbert, there was some

00:57:29.740 company that did

00:57:30.940 tobacco products, wanted

00:57:33.180 to advertise using

00:57:35.060 Dilbert.

00:57:36.040 I said, I'm not

00:57:36.580 going to advertise

00:57:37.120 tobacco.

00:57:39.680 That's crazy.

00:57:41.200 And then I said, but

00:57:42.580 just out of curiosity,

00:57:44.240 how much would they

00:57:46.640 get to offer?

00:57:49.120 Now, of course I

00:57:50.900 asked the question, but

00:57:52.380 no, there's no amount

00:57:53.420 of money that I would

00:57:54.280 have taken to advertise

00:57:55.760 tobacco, in case you're

00:57:58.140 wondering.

00:57:58.360 All right.

00:58:02.380 Let's see, what else

00:58:03.240 have we got?

00:58:04.080 Kansas City has a

00:58:06.200 reparations plan that

00:58:08.200 has been delayed.

00:58:09.360 So the Kansas City

00:58:10.380 Reparations Commission,

00:58:12.100 they needed more time.

00:58:13.880 Yeah, so that's going to

00:58:14.740 be delayed.

00:58:15.540 So that's too bad,

00:58:16.420 because we're really

00:58:17.320 expecting something

00:58:18.120 useful and good to come

00:58:19.140 out of that.

00:58:20.320 Over in Boston, similar.

00:58:23.120 They're forming a task

00:58:24.360 force, but it's going to

00:58:26.540 take a while.

00:58:27.020 Well, now, do you

00:58:29.280 know what I call this

00:58:30.020 technique, the form a

00:58:31.560 task force and get

00:58:32.560 back to me technique?

00:58:34.600 That's called the

00:58:35.620 pointy-haired boss

00:58:36.860 strategy.

00:58:38.480 The pointy-haired boss

00:58:39.700 strategy involves, oh,

00:58:42.080 yeah, I'm totally

00:58:43.140 interested in that thing

00:58:44.380 you're proposing that

00:58:45.360 I'm totally not

00:58:46.180 interested in.

00:58:47.200 So I'll tell you what,

00:58:48.940 what we need is a lot

00:58:50.120 of details.

00:58:51.560 Oh, somebody says,

00:58:52.640 Carrie Lake said it

00:58:53.500 is real.

00:58:53.900 So we do have a

00:58:54.740 confirmation that

00:58:55.480 audio tape is real.

00:58:57.020 Well, good for Carrie. 1.00

00:59:00.360 She went up in my 0.58

00:59:01.480 estimation because of

00:59:02.500 that.

00:59:04.880 She's always very

00:59:05.740 capable, but now we

00:59:06.820 know she's also honest.

00:59:09.900 So Boston is also

00:59:10.940 going to have that

00:59:11.940 task force, take some

00:59:12.900 time and get back to

00:59:13.660 them.

00:59:14.320 Now, I call it the

00:59:15.960 pointy-haired boss

00:59:16.660 strategy, because you

00:59:18.280 don't want to say no,

00:59:19.920 but you can't say yes.

00:59:21.880 So you send them back

00:59:22.780 to study it, and when

00:59:24.320 they come back with a

00:59:25.280 result, you say that's

00:59:26.240 not good enough, you

00:59:26.920 better study it some

00:59:27.720 more, until they just

00:59:28.760 give up.

00:59:29.960 That's how it's done in

00:59:30.860 corporate America.

00:59:32.340 Just study that thing

00:59:33.680 until you give up.

00:59:36.980 But I think this is the

00:59:39.420 same approach they would

00:59:40.260 work in Gaza.

00:59:42.260 So Israel has the same 0.96

00:59:43.680 situation.

00:59:44.920 They can't allow Hamas to 0.82

00:59:47.400 form another country next

00:59:48.860 to them just like they did

00:59:49.880 before.

00:59:50.260 But they also, because of

00:59:52.820 the intense international

00:59:54.340 pressure, they can't say

00:59:55.900 they're not going to do

00:59:56.720 it, you know, which is

00:59:58.440 what Netanyahu is saying,

00:59:59.880 but it's not working out

01:00:00.800 well.

01:00:02.220 So what could Israel do,

01:00:07.740 much like the reparations

01:00:09.380 people are doing?

01:00:10.880 Well, if I were Israel, this

01:00:12.540 is what I'd do.

01:00:13.320 I'd say, you know what?

01:00:15.300 You Hamas supporters say 0.92

01:00:17.560 that at the end of this war,

01:00:18.700 at the end of the military

01:00:19.760 actions, that you want to

01:00:21.200 rebuild yourself.

01:00:23.940 Can you give us a specific

01:00:25.760 detailed plan of how you

01:00:28.020 plan to run and keep

01:00:30.880 terrorism away from Israel?

01:00:33.740 That's the important part.

01:00:35.400 Come back with a detailed

01:00:36.540 plan of how Hamas will take 0.84

01:00:39.060 power over and what they

01:00:40.920 will do specifically to make

01:00:42.720 sure that Hamas no longer 0.91

01:00:44.360 attacks Israel. 0.78

01:00:46.720 Do you think that could ever

01:00:47.960 be done?

01:00:49.440 Do you think Hamas could

01:00:50.460 ever put together in writing

01:00:52.200 a plan that says, all right,

01:00:54.600 we're going to take over,

01:00:56.040 but this time we're going to

01:00:57.000 put in all these functions

01:00:58.280 that will guarantee that we

01:01:00.820 don't attack Israel?

01:01:03.760 They can't do that.

01:01:06.700 There's no way in the world

01:01:07.720 they could do that.

01:01:08.920 But if you don't ask them to

01:01:10.440 tell you what is your plan for

01:01:13.280 how we should rebuild Gaza,

01:01:15.600 then it looks like you're the

01:01:17.580 bad guy, right?

01:01:19.580 So you don't say no to

01:01:21.540 reparations.

01:01:22.240 You say go study it and tell

01:01:23.980 us the details.

01:01:24.920 When they come back with the

01:01:26.060 details, it's like give every 0.53

01:01:28.080 black descendant of slavery

01:01:30.560 $1.2 million and everybody

01:01:32.260 laughs at it because it's just 1.00

01:01:33.380 so stupid and impractical. 1.00

01:01:36.040 Same thing would happen if 1.00

01:01:37.340 Hamas came back with a plan. 0.91

01:01:39.460 They come back with their plans

01:01:40.520 like, all right, here's the plan.

01:01:42.100 We just go back into power.

01:01:45.740 And then Israel said, well, the

01:01:47.560 most important part's missing.

01:01:50.200 The part where you do something

01:01:51.840 differently so we're no longer

01:01:53.160 attacked like October 7th.

01:01:55.860 So go back and work on that some

01:01:57.860 more until you've addressed what

01:02:00.340 you can do.

01:02:01.440 And they'll go back and work on

01:02:02.540 it for another year and they'll

01:02:03.640 come back.

01:02:04.560 All right, here's our plan.

01:02:06.180 We'll take over the government.

01:02:08.140 Hamas will be back in charge. 1.00

01:02:09.920 Everybody will give us money to

01:02:11.240 rebuild and that's our plan.

01:02:14.560 Then Israel will say, did you 0.67

01:02:16.060 maybe not get the memo?

01:02:17.940 We said this entire past year

01:02:20.120 you were supposed to be working

01:02:22.020 on your specific plan about how

01:02:24.280 to stop future terrorism because

01:02:26.920 that's sort of a base requirement

01:02:28.580 for having a country next to us.

01:02:31.520 And then they say, well, you'd

01:02:33.220 better give us another six months.

01:02:35.100 You could make them spin their

01:02:38.140 wheels forever until they just

01:02:40.340 give up because that's what's

01:02:42.180 going to happen with the

01:02:42.820 reparations committees.

01:02:44.560 They're just going to spin their

01:02:45.900 wheels.

01:02:47.000 Occasionally they'll come up with

01:02:48.100 a plan that's so absurdly

01:02:49.900 impractical that nobody takes it

01:02:52.160 seriously.

01:02:52.840 And then they're sent back to

01:02:54.160 study us some more.

01:02:55.720 You could do the same thing with

01:02:57.040 Gaza forever. 0.97

01:02:59.160 Give us your plan.

01:03:00.780 Well, that's not a plan.

01:03:02.220 Try again.

01:03:03.360 But I definitely would like to do

01:03:04.820 work with you and see what your

01:03:06.560 plan is.

01:03:07.120 Come back when you got one.

01:03:10.240 And then repeat.

01:03:12.480 All right.

01:03:12.980 So, you know, more reports about

01:03:14.400 the Soros organization pouring

01:03:16.140 zillions of dollars into various

01:03:18.040 entities and political groups in

01:03:21.780 the United States.

01:03:22.540 And I have this question.

01:03:25.420 Shouldn't there be some kind of a

01:03:27.320 law about one person, how much

01:03:29.740 any one entity can put into the

01:03:32.000 political process?

01:03:33.560 Now, you don't want to say it's

01:03:35.400 zero because that's a free speech

01:03:37.780 issue, because sometimes you have

01:03:39.720 to pay to get your voice out.

01:03:42.420 So that requires money.

01:03:44.520 So, yes, money in politics and paying

01:03:46.980 to get your message out.

01:03:47.980 That seems fine.

01:03:49.380 But at some point, there's an amount

01:03:52.200 of money that's so great that you've

01:03:54.860 subverted the political, you know,

01:03:57.980 republic.

01:03:58.520 So I feel like we should at least

01:04:02.160 consider a maximum amount that can

01:04:04.980 go into the system in every

01:04:07.260 different way.

01:04:08.900 So if the Soros organization is

01:04:11.560 putting, you know, lots of money into

01:04:13.440 different organizations, I think

01:04:14.940 you'd have to sum it up and say,

01:04:17.020 OK, that's too much control for one

01:04:18.880 person.

01:04:20.200 Something like that.

01:04:21.360 Now, I don't like I don't love new

01:04:23.340 laws and new regulations and new

01:04:25.200 limits on freedom, but I feel like it

01:04:29.540 might increase our freedom by getting

01:04:32.160 that, you know, the money effect out

01:04:34.780 or limiting it.

01:04:36.660 Just a thought.

01:04:38.220 It just it just seems crazy to me

01:04:40.260 that we would let one person have this

01:04:45.480 much influence when we know it.

01:04:48.880 Right.

01:04:49.260 Why does he get?

01:04:51.120 You know, Soros probably controls.

01:04:53.080 It's 20 million votes.

01:04:58.660 You get one.

01:05:00.920 But Soros can probably influence

01:05:02.720 probably 20 million people, you know,

01:05:06.000 just his own money alone.

01:05:08.020 That feels right.

01:05:09.240 You know, maybe 20 percent of

01:05:10.700 of Democrats would vote the way they

01:05:15.060 vote because they've been influenced by

01:05:16.700 his money one way or the other.

01:05:18.820 That's a lot.

01:05:20.260 It's enough to control the country.

01:05:21.720 All right.

01:05:26.940 What we need is love, says Jose.

01:05:29.460 What we need is love.

01:05:32.020 Well, I'll try the love.

01:05:34.560 You try the love.

01:05:35.500 I'll try being well armed.

01:05:38.000 We'll see who does better.

01:05:41.800 Yeah.

01:05:42.300 If you look at Zuckerberg, Hoffman and

01:05:45.280 Soros, between the three of them, 0.89

01:05:48.040 they do control a lot of the country

01:05:49.880 in terms of our opinions.

01:05:56.940 So, Bo Johnson

01:05:58.920 saying some rumors about, no, who is it?

01:06:03.400 No, MMJM says,

01:06:05.140 but Klott, that's me,

01:06:06.880 told us Soros is just a nice giving guy

01:06:09.340 a few months back.

01:06:10.660 He called it all a conspiracy theory

01:06:12.700 that he was evil.

01:06:13.840 No, I didn't.

01:06:15.500 Nope.

01:06:15.860 It literally didn't happen.

01:06:19.240 You are hallucinating.

01:06:21.540 I definitely never said he's giving money

01:06:23.580 because he's a nice guy.

01:06:25.540 I said I don't understand it,

01:06:29.080 which I still don't.

01:06:32.000 So there's something about it that I don't understand.

01:06:34.400 See, you think that Soros is the head of the snake.

01:06:38.620 Was that anti-Semitic?

01:06:42.060 Did I accidentally use the anti-Semitic trope?

01:06:45.080 If I did, I'd take that part back.

01:06:47.200 But you know what I mean.

01:06:48.220 It's a common statement,

01:06:50.840 the head of the animal or head of the beast.

01:06:53.100 I don't think he's in charge.

01:06:55.040 I don't think Soros is calling the shots.

01:06:57.520 I believe Soros is controlled by

01:06:59.880 somebody's country's intelligence operation.

01:07:04.560 It might be ours.

01:07:05.760 It might be ours.

01:07:06.720 I don't know.

01:07:07.040 And I would imagine

01:07:09.680 that he's putting a lot of money

01:07:11.060 into things we don't know

01:07:12.260 for the same reason

01:07:13.700 that he's being controlled

01:07:15.380 by some intelligence entities.

01:07:17.460 Because I kind of doubt

01:07:18.840 he could do so well without a little help.

01:07:21.960 You know what I mean?

01:07:24.800 Isn't he an unusually good investor?

01:07:28.560 You know, unusually good for years and years.

01:07:32.060 He keeps nailing it, doesn't he?

01:07:34.940 Wow.

01:07:35.340 He's so good at investing.

01:07:38.120 Do you think that's all just natural?

01:07:40.560 It's organic?

01:07:42.000 It could be.

01:07:43.420 Maybe he's a super genius.

01:07:45.380 But he doesn't act like one.

01:07:47.000 When he talks, you don't say to yourself,

01:07:48.720 well, there's a guy.

01:07:50.240 Got everything right.

01:07:51.300 I mean, maybe he got lucky when he started.

01:07:53.880 But I can't imagine that the intelligence groups

01:07:57.720 in the various countries would leave him alone.

01:08:00.000 You don't think anybody's knocked on his door

01:08:03.580 and said, all right, you have all this influence

01:08:05.820 and all this money.

01:08:07.380 Maybe we should be talking to you.

01:08:09.620 Because we want to influence things too.

01:08:13.900 So I don't know what's true

01:08:15.360 and what's not true with Soros.

01:08:18.040 I don't know that he's the evil one.

01:08:19.800 I know that the outcome is pure evil.

01:08:23.120 That's easy to know

01:08:24.280 because you could just observe that directly.

01:08:26.240 But we don't know why.

01:08:28.440 Don't know why.

01:08:29.500 That's still a big mystery to me.

01:08:32.820 And those of you who default to,

01:08:34.580 it's a big Jewish worldwide conspiracy. 0.76

01:08:37.480 I will ask you again,

01:08:40.540 who has ever had a conspiracy that big

01:08:42.940 for decades and decades

01:08:44.500 and not one whistleblower?

01:08:47.840 Not a single person ever said,

01:08:49.940 you know, we had a meeting.

01:08:52.100 Or, you know, behind the scenes,

01:08:54.840 people are doing this or that.

01:08:56.300 Not once.

01:08:57.580 No whistleblowers.

01:08:59.100 That's a pretty good record.

01:09:01.740 All right.

01:09:04.100 Tsar Putin.

01:09:07.480 Well, your comments are all working now.

01:09:13.580 Good.

01:09:18.860 Check out...

01:09:20.860 Now, Google manipulates elections.

01:09:23.100 Yes, I've seen that before.

01:09:25.240 Yeah, so I don't think we have anything like,

01:09:27.440 you know, free and fair elections.

01:09:30.180 And I think that calling the 2020 election rigged

01:09:33.940 is sort of an understatement.

01:09:37.480 I'm pretty sure they're all rigged.

01:09:39.900 I doubt we've had anything like a fair election.

01:09:43.220 Now, when I say rigged,

01:09:44.200 I don't mean that the votes were miscounted.

01:09:48.140 I mean that if you count the money influence

01:09:50.980 and the persuasion and the fake news

01:09:53.980 and the lawfare

01:09:55.880 and, you know, all the changing of the rules

01:09:58.080 and the pandemic,

01:10:00.440 collectively, it was a rigged election.

01:10:02.860 No doubt about it.

01:10:03.780 All right.

01:10:05.380 That, ladies and gentlemen,

01:10:07.000 is what I had to say today.

01:10:10.140 And...

01:10:10.500 Oh, I assumed the votes were miscounted.

01:10:14.920 Yeah.

01:10:15.260 So here's my take on the election.

01:10:17.640 Personally, I don't have any proof

01:10:20.100 of any election tampering.

01:10:21.760 But in the context of literally

01:10:24.060 everything else being corrupt, 1.00

01:10:26.080 you'd have to be a fucking idiot 1.00

01:10:28.260 to think that's the only uncorrupt part 1.00

01:10:30.000 of the country.

01:10:32.060 Literally, everything is corrupt

01:10:34.680 in this country.

01:10:35.940 Everything.

01:10:36.520 Not every person.

01:10:37.980 Carrie Lake showed you

01:10:39.000 that not every person is corrupt.

01:10:40.940 But she also showed you

01:10:42.380 that the process is always corrupt.

01:10:50.380 All right.

01:10:53.840 That's all I got for you today.
