Transcript

00:00:00.000 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization.
00:00:12.900 It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and I guarantee this will be the best thing you've
00:00:16.980 ever seen in your life. Yeah, in your life. If you'd like to take it up to a level that's even
00:00:23.120 higher than that, it's hard to imagine. All you need for that is a cup or mug or a glass
00:00:27.380 of tankard chalice of stye and a canteen jug or flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with
00:00:32.200 your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the
00:00:36.560 dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called Simultaneous
00:00:41.240 Sip. Go. I think it was better with the Joe Biden whisper at the end. The Simultaneous Sip.
00:00:53.240 No? You're sick of that already? All right. Well, I thought that would catch on with everybody.
00:01:00.880 Let's talk about all the news. The news. Well, if you were subscribing to Dilber Reborn,
00:01:08.320 you would be seeing that the boss is hiring a batshit crazy woman to work in the office,
00:01:13.820 and the staff is wondering why he didn't notice. And the boss says he's bad at reading faces.
00:01:22.340 Anyway, you'd see that if you were a subscriber on either X or the Locals platform. The other day,
00:01:28.520 I was looking through some boxes, just trying to organize some of my old stuff, and I found my
00:01:34.380 hypnosis diploma. It was 1981. The Clemente, if you want the French pronunciation, the Clemente School
00:01:45.260 of Hypnosis in San Francisco. It doesn't exist anymore, but it did. And a number of people had
00:01:52.300 questions about that because I posted the diploma. And I saw that James Pison said to me, he said,
00:02:01.980 hypnosis, in quotes, as the masses define it, isn't real, Scott. Sorry to burst your Svengali
00:02:09.300 crave bubble. Suggestibility is the actual and closest thing to hypnosis that is currently measurable
00:02:15.480 and actionable by science. But keep on keeping with your master juju pseudoscience.
00:02:24.420 Excellent. Have I ever told you that if anybody could figure out what hypnotists could actually do,
00:02:29.960 you would kill us all? So I want more of this. I want more of James saying, your powers are not
00:02:40.280 real. It's completely safe to listen to everything you say. You could not possibly hypnotize me.
00:02:46.940 A number of other people piled in and said, Scott, my mind is far too strong to be hypnotized.
00:02:54.620 To which I say, excellent. So what you're saying is you wouldn't know if you were being hypnotized
00:03:02.480 because your mind's too strong. You can't even conceive of it. Yeah. If you think you can't be
00:03:08.940 hypnotized, there's a good chance you already were. Anyway, one of the things that I was asked is,
00:03:17.280 how long after I took my hypnosis class did my career take a change for the better? And the answer
00:03:25.000 is 1981 is when I got the diploma. 1988 is when I submitted Dilbert Comics for syndication. So
00:03:34.020 six years later. But the point I wanted to make is that hypnosis skills grow over time.
00:03:42.080 Because what you do is you combine it with other things you pick up about persuasion and influence
00:03:49.300 and it all becomes one big larger bag of tricks. So just getting your hypnosis degree does not give
00:03:57.580 you a superpower right away. But if you check back 20 years later, that person is almost certainly going
00:04:05.680 to be doing well. So it's something that builds over time. Well, the sadness trolls keep coming up.
00:04:14.880 I'm going to tell you the tell for the sadness trolls. You probably don't have them. I think they only
00:04:21.100 hit the larger accounts that they're trying to discourage from spending time on X. But the sadness
00:04:27.000 trolls have two tells, which makes them hilarious. Because when they show up as just artificial people,
00:04:34.080 then you don't have to worry about what they say. So one of the tells is they have a small account
00:04:40.380 and they're definitely not my followers or fans, but they follow me. That's the first tell.
00:04:48.260 They don't agree with anything I say and they have tiny little accounts, but they follow me.
00:04:54.520 Now, the reason they do that is that they'll get an alert as soon as I post and they go in first.
00:04:59.340 So part of the troll game, the professionals, I assume these are organized. I don't think these
00:05:05.500 are individuals. They make sure that they follow you so that they can get there first.
00:05:11.920 If there's one thing I can tell you, there's no Democrats who are following me organically.
00:05:17.860 I don't think there's any, like just none, because they don't want to be exposed to unpleasant thoughts.
00:05:25.340 But the trolls don't mind because they want to respond as soon as possible.
00:05:30.180 So the first thing I do is when I see one of these trollish accounts, I always look to see if they
00:05:35.660 follow me. Always. Well, not always. 90% of the time. The other thing is they have a name that has
00:05:43.100 several numbers at the end. Like they couldn't be bothered to test to find a real good name.
00:05:50.240 They took one like Jackson x53213265. Now, who would open a real account and accept the default
00:06:02.520 weird number name? Only a troll. And the reason a troll would do it is because they're in a hurry
00:06:09.160 and they have multiple accounts and it doesn't really matter to them because they're not trying
00:06:14.360 to send a true impression of who they are. They're trolls. They're artificial. The other
00:06:21.160 thing is that they often have little American flags so that they look like they might not be
00:06:27.680 Democrat trolls. The ones that are actually just real people who are also trolling you,
00:06:34.920 they usually have the little blue wave in there or a Ukrainian flag. Those might actually be real
00:06:42.660 people. But the ones who pretend that maybe they're just patriots, those are the trolls.
00:06:49.500 Anyway, that's how you tell them. So they're very active because it's the political season.
00:06:55.200 And it's a real thing, by the way. I don't know if it... Do you all know that's a real thing?
00:07:00.260 That the trolls are literally paid? Do you all know that's real? Because it might sound like it's
00:07:06.400 some weird conspiracy theory I'm giving you, but that's all demonstrated. That's what we know who
00:07:11.420 did it the last time. We know who was in charge. It's a well-known, understood process.
00:07:20.340 Well, did you know that the Imperial College in London figured out how to genetically engineer
00:07:26.020 bacteria to make vegan leather? So it's not real leather, but it's bacteria. And I guess the bacteria
00:07:34.120 can also change its color. So you can make yourself a black wallet or a brown wallet, I guess.
00:07:42.640 And that'll save a whole bunch of animals. And then we won't have to use artificial colors.
00:07:49.220 Anyway, I don't know. If you want a wallet made out of bacteria, you might have one pretty soon.
00:07:56.140 Elon Musk, I don't know when this video was. It might have been a while ago. I just saw a video
00:08:01.180 of him walking with some celebrity who I can't remember. And he was explaining that Tesla can't
00:08:12.200 build 100 gigafactories, but if other big companies were building them, that you'd only need 100 gigafactories
00:08:18.460 to power the entire world. Now, the gigafactories are the big battery storage facilities. And they
00:08:26.280 would have to be enormous. We're talking about bigger than the Empire State Building sort of thing,
00:08:31.260 enormous facilities. But if you build 100 of them, you would essentially have sustainable energy
00:08:37.680 forever, presuming that you set up a commensurate amount of solar panels to charge the batteries.
00:08:45.540 Do you believe that? I'm just looking at a comment. It sounds like BS. I don't know.
00:08:55.100 Here's the thing. If you don't believe it, you're betting against Elon Musk's ability to engineer and
00:09:00.840 do math. Are you comfortable doing that? I'm not. I'm not comfortable saying that he got the math wrong.
00:09:08.540 I feel like he spent some time. Maybe it's exactly what he does and you don't do for a living.
00:09:16.460 He figures that stuff out. So I'm going to say it's probably more likely true than not.
00:09:23.020 But I would add that we don't know what the environmental situation is and what happens
00:09:29.640 with all the old batteries and the old solar panels. That's an issue. It might be solvable,
00:09:35.300 but it's certainly an issue. Anyway, I like to put that out there as some optimism that if you
00:09:41.540 added nuclear power to that, well, you wouldn't need, if you had nuclear power, you don't need the
00:09:48.340 batteries. So anyway, everything's moving in the right direction and we could solve climate change
00:09:55.400 in probably five years. If every, if all the big companies said, we'll, we'll chip in,
00:10:01.700 we'll build a gigafactory. Well, in other updates, we'll get to the politics in a minute.
00:10:09.120 Bri.ai, the prince of fakes, you know him on the X account. He's inventing a sex toy that can also
00:10:18.420 talk dirty to you using AI. So he's using, he's using advanced tools to develop this sex toy and
00:10:29.100 presumably you'll be able to send it for manufacturing. And, and he's been testing it
00:10:34.100 now on X. You can see the whole process from beginning to end. It's kind of fascinating to
00:10:39.320 see what one person can do. So we, we currently have a situation where one person with one computer
00:10:46.200 can build a whole commercial product. Now, I guess we can always do that. It's, you know,
00:10:52.260 we've been able to do that for a while. You'd have to send it out to have a prototype made and that
00:10:57.660 sort of thing, but you could basically be your own company, just one person. And, and he's modeling
00:11:03.320 that one person building an industry. It's just fun to watch. Even if you don't care about the product,
00:11:08.980 it's just fun to watch somebody who has lots of skills, put them together and see if they can do a
00:11:15.080 thing. Ontario, the wait is over. The gold standard of online casinos has arrived. Golden Nugget Online

00:12:17.840 Well, here's one thing I can tell you about my audience.
00:12:23.780 I'm seeing some funny memes go by in the locals' comments. You're not watching me if you're in
00:12:31.000 Brazil, unless you have a VPN, I guess. But Brazil has censored the locals' feed. So if you're on the
00:12:39.420 locals' platform, you can't be watched in Brazil. Now, let me ask you this. Do you think the
00:12:47.020 Brazilians came up with that on their own? Do you think the Brazilian government said, oh, we've got to
00:12:53.340 got to block that locals' platform? I doubt it. Sort of feels like maybe our government
00:13:01.040 might have been a little bit behind that. So it's illegal to watch me in Brazil. To which I say,
00:13:10.020 excellent. Excellent. Hey, Brazilians, guess what you can't watch? Well, why do you think they won't
00:13:19.280 let you watch me, Brazilians? Do you think they won't let you watch me because they're trying to
00:13:25.320 monitor the poor quality entertainment? And they've decided, oh, that's just not good
00:13:31.500 entertainment. Can't watch that guy. Do you think that's why I'm blocked? Nope. Nope. Well, and the
00:13:40.160 other question is, is it about me or is it about somebody else who's on Locals? Because, you know,
00:13:46.820 it could be somebody else who's on Locals. But it's the same issue. They're not blocking me because
00:13:53.060 I'm wrong. They're not blocking other people because they're wrong. They're only going to
00:13:57.180 block you if you're right. Right? It's telling the truth that's the problem. People lying is
00:14:06.140 everybody. If they blocked people who lied, they'd have to close all of social media because
00:14:10.960 it's pretty much 80% lies. But Locals is the special lies. Oh, these are the special kind.
00:14:19.280 We better block these lies. These are the terrible ones.
00:14:25.260 No, it's because it's the truth and they're preventing the truth. There's no other way to
00:14:30.540 look at it. All right, here's my theme today. The gaslighting is not working so well. As you know,
00:14:38.400 you've been living in a gaslit environment. And the gaslighters have been telling you quite a few
00:14:45.520 things. For example, 2016, the election was largely dominated by the Russia collusion hoax
00:14:53.280 that we know is a Democrat slash intelligence agency hoax. But in 2020, we had the Hunter's
00:15:02.960 laptop hoax. Oh, that's a Russian hoax. And then Biden ran on the fine people hoax.
00:15:10.280 So that's two elections in a row dominated by hoaxes. And in both cases, the Democrats and
00:15:18.420 the intelligence people created them. In 2024, just for consistency, the main theme is the January 6th
00:15:28.000 hoax. Also known as the Trump is a threat to democracy hoax, which goes well with the 91
00:15:35.000 indictment hoax. Now, the 91 indictments really happened. But if you look at the quality of them
00:15:41.620 and the types of things he's indicted for, it all looks like a hoax to me or an op, if you prefer.
00:15:48.480 And let me tell you, if you have three elections in a row, and all three of them are quite obviously
00:15:57.680 hoax driven events, you can't say it's a coincidence. It would be more accurate to say that
00:16:06.500 gaslighting the public is the operating system of the country. And there's the most basic thing you
00:16:13.600 need to know about America is that nothing's real. It's the most important thing you need to know,
00:16:19.720 that nothing's real. And when I say nothing, I mean nothing about politics, you know, and war,
00:16:24.780 which is politics. So we'll give you some examples of that. But I'd like to offer a competing hypothesis
00:16:34.020 to this. So the first hypothesis is that bad people are intentionally making up rumors and
00:16:42.180 conspiracy theories and gaslighting the public. But I'd like to try out a little pattern recognition
00:16:51.120 for you. Do you know how I always say that Democrats appear mentally ill? But we don't really mention
00:16:59.520 what that mental illness is. Sometimes we say TDS, which is a real thing and a genuine illness.
00:17:05.540 But it seems deeper than that, doesn't it? Like there's something below that that's causing that.
00:17:12.180 And I'd like to suggest that if you were to look at the dominant patterns coming from Democrats,
00:17:19.120 you can actually identify the specific mental illness. Allow me to try it. Have you noticed
00:17:27.360 the Tucker Carlson theory that they blame you for what they're doing? So whatever they're doing,
00:17:33.740 they blame you for. You've all seen it. What mental illness or condition is that common to?
00:17:40.880 Somebody blames you for what they're doing. Somebody blames you for what they're doing. But not just once.
00:17:46.260 All the time. All the time. If you're late for dinner, they say, if they're late, they say you're late.
00:17:55.700 If they're cheating on you, they say you're cheating on them. If they're mean to you,
00:18:01.440 they say you're mean to them. If they're giving you no attention, they say you're giving me no
00:18:09.500 attention. Am I right? Now, 100% of people who have experience with narcissists will say, oh, yeah.
00:18:16.820 Yeah. You can't even believe it. Like if you see it once, you say, well, that's weird. Maybe just an
00:18:22.780 oddity. But if you're in a situation where over and over and over again, they're blaming you of
00:18:29.580 specifically what they're doing. That's narcissism. Here's another element of narcissism. And see if
00:18:39.020 you can find this pattern. A narcissist is only interested in what you can do for them.
00:18:45.460 Am I right? That's a basic definition of a narcissist. Not even the least bit interested
00:18:53.180 in you. It's what can you do for me? How can I get your resources transferred to me? How can I get
00:19:00.340 all of your attention and all of your everything to me? What am I doing for you? Yeah. It's what can
00:19:09.420 you do for me? In this case, the me would be Democrats. And the me would be, hey, let's do
00:19:16.360 some DEI so that the things you have can be transferred to us. Why? Well, because of all
00:19:23.740 the discriminating you do against us. That's why. To which I say, that's exactly the opposite of what
00:19:31.180 has been happening in this country for 30 years. White men have been overtly, directly, massively
00:19:37.660 discriminated against for 30 years. But what do the narcissists say? They say, you're discriminating
00:19:45.500 against me. And then they ask you to pay for it. That's exactly what narcissists do. They say, you're
00:19:53.020 the problem, even though you're the one, the narcissist is doing all that and you're not. And that you must
00:19:59.140 pay me for it. Like you owe me. There's something you better do to make up for the fact that you're so
00:20:04.800 bad, even though they're just projecting. Now, if you go down the line and see the consistency of it,
00:20:12.120 the thing that you thought was socialism probably isn't. The thing you thought was socialism
00:20:17.920 probably isn't. There is some of that, and there are definitely Marxists, etc. So I'm not going to say
00:20:24.000 it doesn't exist. But I think we're confusing the narcissism, which is you owe me because you've been
00:20:30.800 bad. You better give me some stuff with some kind of actual political theory. Because very few people
00:20:38.800 have a political theory. They just want stuff. And they're just sort of acting out their projection
00:20:44.080 plus their sense of entitlement. Once you see it, you can't unsee it. Now, I've also made the
00:20:52.420 observation that a lot of the evil people in the news, you'll hear this terrible story about
00:20:57.020 somebody doing some woke thing that's just evil. And then you'll see a picture of the person,
00:21:03.060 and they have demonic face.
00:21:07.340 You know, I'm doing it now, in case you're listening to it. I'm going to do the demonic face.
00:21:14.520 Do you remember Judge N'Goran?
00:21:18.120 You look at his face, and the first thing you think is,
00:21:20.820 what the hell am I looking at? There's something wrong with your face. It looks demonic.
00:21:27.600 It literally looks demonic. But the demonic part is just an interpretation. What it really looks like
00:21:33.820 is mentally ill, and specifically narcissistic. The narcissist, I think their faces actually reveal
00:21:42.920 them sometimes, not all the time. So if you think you're seeing something that looks like demonic faces,
00:21:50.360 the eyes, the crazy eyes, I think it's just the narcissists all on the same team. And the narcissists
00:22:00.280 are telling you that you're such a bad discriminator, you better give your stuff to the people you
00:22:05.520 discriminated against. So that certainly is a big part of the gaslighting. But certainly it's coming
00:22:13.620 from the top on the Democrat side. The things that Republicans believe that are not true
00:22:18.620 usually bubble up from the bottom. They're just some people or persons who has a theory and other
00:22:24.760 people go, oh, I think I'll believe that one. It's not coordinated intelligence experts working
00:22:32.160 with the top of the Democrats to create a hoax over the whole country. You don't really see that on the
00:22:37.960 Republican side. But it's the normal operating system. We've seen it over three elections already
00:22:42.460 of the Democrats. But it's not just them. Defense Secretary Mark Esper has called Trump a threat to
00:22:51.520 democracy. Look for the pattern. What exactly is a threat to democracy? Let me think. Weaponizing
00:23:01.660 these NGOs and fake fact checkers and the FBI to suppress free speech on the other side.
00:23:13.120 That's what I would call the assault on democracy. So while they were actively taking away your free
00:23:20.800 speech by working with the social media platforms and the news, they were complaining that Trump is going
00:23:27.480 to take away your democracy while they were actively really hard working on it. At the same time, if you
00:23:36.140 look at the Georgia case, the Georgia, mostly Republicans, were passing laws to tighten security on their
00:23:43.540 election system. Every Democrat voted against it because why? Why would you vote against tightening security?
00:23:54.120 Well, it's because they don't want a fair election. Because they're trying to protect democracy by making
00:24:05.420 sure that you don't know exactly who voted. That's how they're going to protect democracy.
00:24:10.760 Projection is just projection. All right. Here's another one.
00:24:16.120 Have you seen this too? I turn in the news. There'll be a new poll about Biden versus Trump.
00:24:27.000 And the poll will say Trump is leading in six out of seven, you know, tight races or tight states,
00:24:35.220 you know, the battleground states. And he is, you know, winning overall by whatever number.
00:24:39.240 And then somebody will say it to Biden or Biden's people and they'll say, you're looking at last
00:24:45.580 year's polls or last week's polls. New polls just came out. Biden is ahead in six out of seven polls.
00:24:53.060 To which I say, would that be in the newspaper or something? Like there's not. Are you saying that?
00:25:01.820 Are you saying Fox News wouldn't report that? Are they just skipping some polls? Is that happening?
00:25:07.960 Because, you know, I also watch CNN and MSNBC. I haven't seen him display any polls where Biden
00:25:16.160 is leading. In fact, they only talk about him being behind. Is this pure gaslighting?
00:25:22.960 Where they actually just say, no, Biden is actually ahead in the polls. You're looking at the wrong
00:25:29.180 ones. They look right in your eyes and tell you that there exist polls that are the opposite of
00:25:36.700 everything you've seen. How do they do that? And their press doesn't even call them out about it.
00:25:44.520 They just say, no, the polls are the opposite of everything you've seen. Yeah, Biden's doing fine.
00:25:50.000 Yep. Everything you've seen is opposite of what you think you saw. The level of gaslighting is insane.
00:25:56.920 Now, who lies like that? Narcissists. Narcissists are the only one who can, who could punch you in the stomach
00:26:07.500 and say, stop punching me in the stomach. And you'd be like, you literally just punched me in the stomach
00:26:14.640 and I've literally never even touched you. Stop punching me in the stomach.
00:26:18.520 Like, to lie at that level, look you right in the eye and say, no, the polls are all pro-Biden. I don't know
00:26:27.280 what you're talking about. That's only narcissists. That is not even normal politics. Even politicians
00:26:35.060 don't lie like that. You know, they say something more weaselly, right? They don't lie directly like that
00:26:42.340 on something that's the easiest thing in the world to check. Narcissism. All right. There's some
00:26:51.100 interesting charts going around. Zach Goldberg, I think, pulled them together. He's sort of an
00:26:56.980 anti-wokeness activist. And two charts. One of them founds that liberal white people have the
00:27:06.140 following belief that white people are far more violent in the United States than black people.
00:27:15.020 They're the only group that think that. I don't think black people think that. Only white liberals.
00:27:22.340 So white conservatives don't think that. Only white liberals believe that white people are more
00:27:30.560 violent than black Americans. Now, it could be that they're answering the question differently.
00:27:38.360 It could be that they're including wars and colonization and slavery. If you, if you counted
00:27:45.340 like the whole history of, you know, wars and colonization and slavery, white people are
00:27:50.200 definitely head on the violence. I'm going to give you that. If you just looked at total number of
00:27:57.740 people killed, white people are right up there. We're very competitive in the killing millions of
00:28:04.160 people category. I'll give you that. But if you're talking about normal social violence in the United
00:28:09.340 States, it's not even close, the actual numbers. And I'm not making any kind of genetic or cultural or
00:28:16.820 any kind of a comment. I'm just saying those are the numbers. You know, the why of it, you know, gets to a
00:28:23.500 more interesting question. But we're not talking about the why. Just the numbers. But it's worse
00:28:29.600 than that. It's not just that, but the, according to Zach's charts, that the same group, the white
00:28:39.360 liberals, believe that black Americans, on average, have higher IQs than white people.
00:28:44.880 Now, again, I'm not going to get into any conversation about genetics or culture or
00:28:53.580 systemic racism. I think the question about the cause is an interesting one that I'm not going to
00:29:01.760 talk about. It's just the data itself. How in the world could you live in America and think that the
00:29:08.920 data has shown this stuff? And there's only one group that thinks it. Now, what would be true about
00:29:18.880 this group? They're the crazies. Yeah, they're the craziest group. They actually can't, they're
00:29:26.000 actually seeing the world backwards, like upside down and inside out. They're fairly consistently.
00:29:30.880 Everything they see is the opposite of what is actually true. Well, I'll tell you my own theory on
00:29:41.800 differences in income. Let's say income instead of IQ, because IQ is too divisive. Just say
00:29:49.240 difference in income. To me, the biggest difference is that the school system discriminates against
00:29:56.340 black kids. To me, that's the biggest thing. Now, when I say discriminates against them, I just mean
00:30:02.760 because poor places have bad schools. Teachers unions don't give you much choice, so there's not
00:30:08.660 a free market to give you options. So it's more of a teachers union has destroyed the ability for
00:30:14.860 anybody in a low-income area to get a good education. So if you're starting from a low-income,
00:30:20.900 it's hard to climb out. All right. What else do they believe?
00:30:31.800 So on MSNBC last night, Joy Reid, who is a, as you know, a disgruntled Trump impersonator,
00:30:40.520 if you've seen her haircut, she had a guest called Steve Hassan, who bills himself as a expert on cults.
00:30:50.900 And the expert on cults said that the MAGA people are a cult. Now, I've got a little bit of insight
00:30:58.960 about this situation. So Steve Hassan also interviewed me. I think it was during the 2016 cycle.
00:31:07.600 So I had a long conversation with him, and I think he might have been writing or had finished his book
00:31:14.300 on cults. But he wanted to tie the MAGA movement, you know, make it a cult because he could sell books
00:31:22.720 and, you know, he was a cult expert. And very, very Democrat, it seems. So here's what I learned.
00:31:31.260 Number one, the cult expert grew up in a cult.
00:31:35.020 The cult expert grew up in a cult.
00:31:42.360 So that's one of the things that makes him an expert.
00:31:45.680 The cult expert escaped that cult.
00:31:48.980 Good job. Now that's a sign of credibility, wouldn't you say,
00:31:53.080 if you escaped a cult,
00:31:54.620 and then went immediately to become a Democrat and just joined another cult
00:31:58.960 without knowing it.
00:32:02.920 And
00:32:03.180 so let me describe
00:32:06.380 what a cult is.
00:32:08.860 And I also discovered that the cult expert
00:32:11.100 actually didn't know what a cult was.
00:32:15.200 Just think about that.
00:32:16.460 Actually doesn't know what a cult is.
00:32:19.040 Because the definition of a cult
00:32:20.700 is, you know,
00:32:22.860 it's for the benefit of the leader, not the people.
00:32:25.740 You cut off communication
00:32:27.340 from the outside,
00:32:28.840 and you punish people if they get outside of your cult,
00:32:31.560 and you make sure that the external
00:32:33.400 information doesn't come in.
00:32:36.760 That's the Democrats.
00:32:38.700 The Democrats are literally
00:32:40.320 censoring information
00:32:41.700 in like this massive censoring operation
00:32:44.840 that involves NGOs and fact checkers
00:32:47.540 and the fake media
00:32:48.980 and the intelligence groups.
00:32:51.600 That's a cult.
00:32:53.040 A cult is actively
00:32:54.480 putting a lot of effort
00:32:55.820 into making sure
00:32:57.040 you can't see the other argument.
00:32:59.100 Look at Brazil.
00:33:02.180 Brazil is literally censoring me
00:33:04.160 right now.
00:33:05.700 Who's in the cult?
00:33:07.420 Now let's say you're a
00:33:08.800 mega Republican.
00:33:12.560 Can you name any Republican
00:33:14.120 who doesn't have access
00:33:15.440 to all the information on the left?
00:33:19.040 Most of the arguments
00:33:20.200 that the Republicans make
00:33:22.120 come from a full understanding
00:33:24.460 of what the other argument is.
00:33:26.840 It's really an argument
00:33:27.940 against the other arguments
00:33:29.140 which requires you to know
00:33:30.440 what the other arguments are.
00:33:32.940 So the
00:33:33.660 the MAGA people
00:33:34.720 are fighting
00:33:35.680 for the First Amendment
00:33:36.920 opposite of a cult.
00:33:39.180 They have full access
00:33:40.600 to all information
00:33:42.240 opposite of a cult.
00:33:43.680 And never in my life
00:33:44.940 have I heard anybody
00:33:45.820 ostracized
00:33:46.760 for leaving
00:33:48.220 the Republican Party
00:33:49.640 in becoming
00:33:50.320 a Democrat.
00:33:51.860 I mean
00:33:52.080 at the
00:33:52.740 public level
00:33:54.020 you know
00:33:54.560 sort of a Kinzinger thing
00:33:55.880 they'll definitely get mocked.
00:33:57.660 But in the regular public
00:33:59.100 if your neighbor
00:34:00.760 if your neighbor
00:34:02.040 decided to re-register
00:34:03.480 from Republican
00:34:04.320 to Democrat
00:34:05.080 would you stop
00:34:07.100 inviting them
00:34:07.680 to the picnics?
00:34:09.440 No.
00:34:10.780 It doesn't work
00:34:11.740 that way on the right.
00:34:13.520 Have you heard
00:34:14.100 about dating?
00:34:16.480 Apparently
00:34:17.000 if you're
00:34:17.940 if you're a Democrat
00:34:19.340 and you see somebody
00:34:21.540 in a dating app
00:34:22.380 who's a Republican
00:34:23.120 that's a hard no.
00:34:25.200 I will not even
00:34:26.080 associate
00:34:26.560 with the people
00:34:27.800 outside my cult.
00:34:28.940 But it doesn't work
00:34:29.900 the other way.
00:34:31.300 The
00:34:31.520 the conservative
00:34:32.760 men are far
00:34:33.560 you know
00:34:34.280 they're still willing
00:34:35.660 to date
00:34:36.700 anybody who wants
00:34:37.560 to date them.
00:34:38.940 So I would say
00:34:40.060 that the Democrats
00:34:40.900 show all of these
00:34:42.060 signs of a cult
00:34:43.040 based on the
00:34:44.000 standard definitions.
00:34:45.980 And then they
00:34:46.420 they bring the
00:34:47.040 most hypnotized
00:34:47.880 cult member
00:34:48.480 on
00:34:49.040 to project
00:34:50.860 and say
00:34:51.680 the other people
00:34:52.340 are in the cult.
00:34:53.740 It's very consistent.
00:34:55.960 Now
00:34:56.420 I was mocking him
00:34:58.520 on X yesterday
00:35:00.680 by showing a picture
00:35:01.440 of his wide eyes.
00:35:03.200 He's got the
00:35:03.920 Charles Manson eyes
00:35:04.920 you know
00:35:05.900 the wide eyes
00:35:06.580 the crazy eyes
00:35:07.460 so
00:35:10.460 oh there you go
00:35:11.360 somebody's saying
00:35:12.540 their wife is a liberal.
00:35:13.700 yeah
00:35:16.200 so that's another
00:35:17.020 case of
00:35:17.620 gaslighting
00:35:18.540 and projection.
00:35:20.640 But
00:35:20.960 I think the
00:35:22.140 gaslighting wall
00:35:23.060 is starting to break.
00:35:23.960 Here are three
00:35:24.520 RFK Jr. stories
00:35:25.880 that he just made
00:35:27.680 in the last
00:35:28.140 day or so.
00:35:30.300 So apparently
00:35:31.160 RFK Jr. doesn't
00:35:32.600 believe that
00:35:33.200 January 6th
00:35:33.960 was an insurrection.
00:35:36.240 And he's saying
00:35:36.760 it publicly.
00:35:39.240 So
00:35:39.720 how would you
00:35:40.660 explain
00:35:41.240 if you're a
00:35:42.260 Democrat
00:35:42.620 that
00:35:44.660 one of the
00:35:45.460 most storied
00:35:46.580 and famous
00:35:47.180 Democrat names
00:35:48.220 who
00:35:49.500 even if you
00:35:50.480 don't like
00:35:51.000 him
00:35:51.740 you know
00:35:52.660 he's really
00:35:53.340 well researched
00:35:54.280 and smart
00:35:54.900 and
00:35:56.060 he doesn't
00:35:56.700 just make
00:35:57.160 stuff up
00:35:57.760 as far as
00:35:58.720 I know.
00:36:00.340 And he's
00:36:01.060 telling you
00:36:01.480 there's no real
00:36:02.140 evidence this
00:36:02.740 was an
00:36:03.100 insurrection.
00:36:04.120 And he says
00:36:05.020 for the same
00:36:05.480 reasons
00:36:05.800 that Republicans
00:36:07.400 say.
00:36:08.460 Well they
00:36:08.900 came to an
00:36:09.400 insurrection
00:36:09.780 without guns.
00:36:11.380 I mean
00:36:11.560 really?
00:36:12.620 There's no
00:36:13.160 evidence of
00:36:13.660 any planning
00:36:14.240 and they
00:36:15.340 looked everywhere.
00:36:16.480 No evidence
00:36:17.040 of any
00:36:17.360 planning
00:36:17.700 at all.
00:36:19.260 You know
00:36:19.380 there were
00:36:19.640 obviously
00:36:20.060 1%
00:36:21.040 were bad
00:36:21.680 people
00:36:22.000 and nobody's
00:36:22.620 questioning
00:36:22.980 that.
00:36:24.880 All right.
00:36:25.760 So that's
00:36:26.240 one thing
00:36:26.880 RFK Jr.
00:36:27.660 said.
00:36:28.360 The other
00:36:28.920 thing is
00:36:29.420 he's calling
00:36:29.960 out the
00:36:30.300 fake jobs
00:36:31.120 report.
00:36:32.680 Remember
00:36:32.980 yesterday I
00:36:33.560 said I
00:36:33.820 wasn't even
00:36:34.220 going to
00:36:34.440 tell you
00:36:34.740 what the
00:36:35.020 numbers were
00:36:35.640 on employment
00:36:37.000 because all
00:36:39.240 employment
00:36:39.640 numbers are
00:36:40.180 fake in
00:36:40.920 an election
00:36:41.260 year.
00:36:42.040 You know
00:36:42.200 the incumbent
00:36:42.680 is always
00:36:43.060 going to
00:36:43.320 fake them.
00:36:45.480 But RFK
00:36:46.500 Jr.
00:36:46.940 said the
00:36:47.340 good news
00:36:47.720 and bad
00:36:48.000 news.
00:36:48.260 The good
00:36:48.440 news is that
00:36:49.040 the economy
00:36:49.500 added 691,000
00:36:51.120 jobs in
00:36:51.860 March.
00:36:52.780 Bad news is
00:36:53.620 that they're
00:36:53.980 all part-time
00:36:54.920 jobs.
00:36:56.140 The full-time
00:36:56.880 jobs actually
00:36:57.520 fell by 6,000.
00:36:58.660 So he's
00:37:00.660 calling out
00:37:01.180 his own
00:37:01.560 team for
00:37:02.080 gaslighting
00:37:02.740 the public
00:37:03.220 on economics.
00:37:05.680 So RFK
00:37:06.320 Jr.,
00:37:07.320 famous
00:37:07.800 Democrat,
00:37:09.900 is calling
00:37:10.420 out the
00:37:10.920 Democrats
00:37:11.500 for gaslighting
00:37:13.080 on the
00:37:13.340 insurrection
00:37:13.820 hoax,
00:37:15.140 correctly,
00:37:16.220 and for
00:37:17.320 gaslighting
00:37:18.040 on the
00:37:18.460 fake job
00:37:19.180 numbers,
00:37:20.700 correctly.
00:37:22.620 Correctly.
00:37:24.040 And then he
00:37:24.640 also talked
00:37:25.180 about the
00:37:25.620 CIA killing
00:37:26.940 his uncle,
00:37:28.080 JFK,
00:37:29.220 and apparently
00:37:30.200 he's friends,
00:37:31.120 RFK Jr.
00:37:31.780 is friends
00:37:32.160 with Woody
00:37:32.640 Harrelson,
00:37:33.940 and Woody
00:37:34.420 Harrelson's
00:37:34.940 dad,
00:37:36.180 according to
00:37:36.660 RFK Jr.,
00:37:37.500 is one of
00:37:38.220 the people
00:37:38.900 who definitely
00:37:39.560 was in on
00:37:40.180 the assassination
00:37:40.780 of his
00:37:42.220 uncle.
00:37:43.260 And he's
00:37:43.960 actually talked
00:37:44.520 to Woody,
00:37:45.260 and Woody
00:37:45.720 confirms the
00:37:46.740 whole thing.
00:37:48.960 Apparently,
00:37:49.640 Woody confirms
00:37:50.320 his father
00:37:50.880 was part of
00:37:51.380 the assassination,
00:37:52.700 and it was
00:37:53.100 just a CIA
00:37:53.800 plot,
00:37:54.400 exactly like
00:37:55.080 he thought
00:37:55.360 it was.
00:37:55.700 And RFK
00:37:58.520 Jr.
00:37:58.820 says the
00:37:59.160 CIA,
00:37:59.860 by the
00:38:00.240 way,
00:38:00.380 this was
00:38:00.660 on the
00:38:01.040 Hodge
00:38:02.320 Twins
00:38:02.820 podcast.
00:38:05.160 Is that
00:38:05.720 Hodges
00:38:06.320 with an
00:38:06.780 S?
00:38:08.020 Is
00:38:08.440 Hodge
00:38:08.880 with an
00:38:09.460 S on
00:38:09.780 the end?
00:38:11.240 The
00:38:11.400 Hodge
00:38:11.860 Twins?
00:38:12.420 Hodges?
00:38:13.140 Give me a
00:38:13.680 fact check
00:38:14.180 on that.
00:38:16.200 Anyway,
00:38:16.540 those guys
00:38:17.180 are doing
00:38:17.500 a great
00:38:17.800 job
00:38:18.200 building
00:38:20.860 their brand
00:38:21.360 and also
00:38:21.680 having
00:38:21.920 interesting
00:38:22.300 guests
00:38:22.680 and making
00:38:23.120 news.
00:38:24.000 So I
00:38:24.220 recommend
00:38:24.580 their
00:38:24.960 podcast.
00:38:28.340 It's
00:38:28.900 the
00:38:29.020 Hodge
00:38:29.460 with no
00:38:29.820 S on
00:38:30.120 the name.
00:38:30.720 Hodge
00:38:31.140 Twins.
00:38:32.100 So look
00:38:33.000 for them.
00:38:34.200 And the
00:38:34.480 RFK
00:38:34.840 Jr.
00:38:35.400 interview
00:38:35.680 in particular
00:38:36.320 is pretty
00:38:36.700 good.
00:38:39.320 And he
00:38:40.000 points out
00:38:40.460 that the
00:38:40.760 CIA was
00:38:41.440 behind
00:38:41.800 Vietnam,
00:38:42.820 the CIA
00:38:43.260 was behind
00:38:44.000 and the
00:38:44.720 mafia
00:38:44.980 worked
00:38:45.340 together
00:38:45.700 to try
00:38:46.420 to take
00:38:46.700 out Castro
00:38:47.280 because the
00:38:47.740 mafia
00:38:47.940 didn't like
00:38:48.420 that Castro
00:38:48.920 closed their
00:38:49.520 casinos in
00:38:50.260 Cuba.
00:38:51.360 And Kennedy
00:38:52.440 points out
00:38:52.960 accurately that
00:38:53.760 no one was
00:38:54.280 punished for
00:38:54.820 killing Kennedy.
00:38:56.560 No one was
00:38:57.320 punished for
00:38:57.860 it.
00:38:59.900 The members
00:39:00.700 of our own
00:39:01.220 government
00:39:01.580 killed the
00:39:02.180 president
00:39:02.540 and to
00:39:04.040 this day
00:39:04.580 got away
00:39:05.800 with it.
00:39:06.500 We even
00:39:07.100 know who
00:39:07.400 they were
00:39:07.840 and they
00:39:08.580 still got
00:39:08.940 away with
00:39:09.300 it.
00:39:11.620 And it's
00:39:12.180 not even
00:39:12.500 in the
00:39:12.780 history books.
00:39:13.820 Not only
00:39:14.220 did they
00:39:14.500 get away
00:39:14.840 with it,
00:39:15.820 but history
00:39:16.400 doesn't even
00:39:16.860 record it.
00:39:18.180 You know,
00:39:18.360 there's no
00:39:18.660 kids learning
00:39:19.280 this that the
00:39:20.020 CIA killed.
00:39:21.360 His uncle.
00:39:23.720 He also
00:39:24.320 said,
00:39:25.580 so he
00:39:26.180 said,
00:39:26.420 why would
00:39:26.680 they stop?
00:39:27.460 They
00:39:27.820 meaning the
00:39:28.680 intelligence
00:39:29.440 people and
00:39:30.160 whoever was
00:39:30.600 banned.
00:39:31.140 Why would
00:39:31.680 they stop
00:39:32.140 doing things
00:39:32.700 if they
00:39:33.000 get away
00:39:33.320 with them?
00:39:34.260 They
00:39:34.500 overthrew 80
00:39:35.200 countries and
00:39:35.960 the United
00:39:36.360 States and
00:39:38.000 something's going
00:39:39.040 on with Brazil.
00:39:41.200 Why would
00:39:41.980 they stop?
00:39:42.580 It's totally
00:39:43.000 working.
00:39:45.000 Good point.
00:39:46.540 RFK Jr.
00:39:47.100 also says
00:39:47.680 that Joe
00:39:47.960 Biden is
00:39:48.340 not in
00:39:48.660 possession of
00:39:49.960 his faculties.
00:39:51.520 So an
00:39:51.880 actual
00:39:52.140 Democrat
00:39:52.620 saying,
00:39:53.140 no,
00:39:53.240 he's not
00:39:53.500 in
00:39:53.620 possession.
00:39:54.200 And the
00:39:54.500 argument he
00:39:54.960 gives is
00:39:56.080 that he
00:39:56.380 says that
00:39:57.580 the Joe
00:39:58.280 Biden he
00:39:58.820 knows and
00:39:59.780 has known
00:40:00.180 forever would
00:40:01.940 have given
00:40:02.380 him Secret
00:40:02.980 Service
00:40:03.340 protection.
00:40:04.320 So RFK
00:40:04.820 Jr.
00:40:05.240 didn't get
00:40:05.680 Secret Service
00:40:06.800 protection and
00:40:07.940 certainly qualified.
00:40:08.920 and it
00:40:11.100 looks like
00:40:11.700 the bad
00:40:12.920 guys who
00:40:13.420 killed his
00:40:13.880 uncle are
00:40:14.320 trying to
00:40:14.680 get him
00:40:14.960 killed.
00:40:16.140 I think
00:40:16.840 there's no
00:40:17.240 other way to
00:40:17.680 interpret it
00:40:18.280 than the
00:40:19.400 same people
00:40:20.000 who killed
00:40:20.360 his uncle
00:40:20.740 are trying
00:40:21.080 to kill
00:40:21.440 him but
00:40:22.220 make it
00:40:22.540 look like
00:40:22.880 an accident
00:40:23.340 just by
00:40:23.880 leaving him
00:40:24.820 unprotected.
00:40:29.820 And he
00:40:30.780 thinks the
00:40:31.160 government is
00:40:31.620 being run
00:40:32.080 by anonymous
00:40:32.920 men in
00:40:33.440 lanyards,
00:40:34.060 meaning the
00:40:34.600 CIA,
00:40:35.120 basically.
00:40:37.860 All right.
00:40:38.920 And then
00:40:41.620 when the
00:40:42.060 Hodge twins
00:40:42.700 said,
00:40:43.860 quote,
00:40:44.420 sounds like
00:40:45.160 our democracy
00:40:45.940 is dead,
00:40:47.540 this is what
00:40:48.160 RFK Jr.
00:40:49.160 said about
00:40:50.060 our democracy,
00:40:51.740 about the
00:40:52.240 United States.
00:40:54.260 RFK Jr.
00:40:56.260 about the
00:40:56.780 United States.
00:40:58.560 Quote,
00:40:59.580 yeah,
00:41:00.040 it's kabuki
00:41:00.740 theater that
00:41:03.220 we don't have
00:41:03.820 a republic
00:41:04.360 and that we
00:41:05.920 haven't had it
00:41:06.420 for a long
00:41:06.800 time.
00:41:07.820 Now,
00:41:07.960 that's what
00:41:08.200 I've been
00:41:08.460 telling you.
00:41:09.260 Right.
00:41:10.100 I think the
00:41:10.640 republic ended
00:41:11.480 probably in
00:41:12.260 the 60s and
00:41:13.980 that the
00:41:14.460 anonymous men
00:41:15.180 with lanyards
00:41:15.820 have clearly
00:41:16.640 been running
00:41:17.100 things since
00:41:17.700 then.
00:41:19.280 And RFK Jr.
00:41:20.540 is exactly
00:41:21.100 the same page.
00:41:22.080 Now,
00:41:22.240 I think he
00:41:22.620 influenced me
00:41:23.300 more than I
00:41:24.460 got it from
00:41:24.860 anywhere else.
00:41:25.660 So it's not a
00:41:26.220 coincidence,
00:41:26.700 I guess.
00:41:28.340 Well,
00:41:28.880 let's see.
00:41:29.380 The Rock said
00:41:30.160 he would not
00:41:30.960 endorse Biden.
00:41:32.320 I think you
00:41:32.600 already heard
00:41:33.000 that.
00:41:33.280 but Aaron
00:41:35.500 Rupar
00:41:35.920 called it
00:41:37.220 a cowardly
00:41:38.060 word salad
00:41:38.740 thing to
00:41:39.440 say.
00:41:40.600 Now,
00:41:41.160 what was
00:41:41.540 the word
00:41:41.920 salad?
00:41:43.060 The Rock
00:41:43.860 said he
00:41:44.340 didn't want
00:41:45.060 to endorse
00:41:46.420 Biden this
00:41:46.960 time,
00:41:47.460 because he
00:41:48.120 did last
00:41:48.500 time,
00:41:48.840 because he
00:41:49.840 said it
00:41:50.300 caused him
00:41:51.660 something that
00:41:52.380 tears me up
00:41:53.280 in my guts,
00:41:54.080 which is
00:41:54.460 division.
00:41:54.920 How is
00:41:56.960 that unclear?
00:41:58.380 Where's the
00:41:58.840 word salad?
00:42:00.660 He said
00:42:01.080 supporting
00:42:01.520 Biden
00:42:01.940 caused
00:42:02.320 division.
00:42:03.900 Now,
00:42:04.540 I interpreted
00:42:05.320 that as
00:42:05.840 division in
00:42:06.480 his personal
00:42:07.000 life,
00:42:08.380 meaning that
00:42:08.920 he couldn't
00:42:09.280 hang out
00:42:09.640 with his
00:42:09.940 buddies
00:42:10.200 without being
00:42:10.760 mocked.
00:42:13.280 That's a
00:42:13.920 little mind
00:42:14.300 reading on
00:42:14.740 my part.
00:42:15.520 I don't
00:42:15.720 know that.
00:42:16.940 But that's
00:42:17.440 what it
00:42:17.640 feels like,
00:42:18.720 that maybe
00:42:19.100 he got too
00:42:19.600 much pushback
00:42:20.320 from his
00:42:20.920 manly men
00:42:24.080 fans,
00:42:24.920 who are
00:42:26.840 more likely
00:42:27.300 to be
00:42:27.580 Republican.
00:42:30.720 Anyway,
00:42:31.780 I saw
00:42:33.260 Mike
00:42:33.500 saying that
00:42:34.360 some of
00:42:34.660 these people
00:42:35.200 who people
00:42:36.820 like me
00:42:37.160 keep talking
00:42:37.680 about are
00:42:39.260 not what I
00:42:39.920 think.
00:42:40.280 They're not
00:42:40.680 organic.
00:42:41.800 So the
00:42:42.260 rock and
00:42:42.940 Bill Maher
00:42:43.720 and anybody
00:42:46.120 else, I
00:42:46.580 think there
00:42:46.820 are a few
00:42:47.020 others,
00:42:47.760 always
00:42:47.940 Charlemagne,
00:42:49.020 the god.
00:42:51.260 So I
00:42:51.540 think Mike
00:42:51.880 thinks it's
00:42:52.320 more of some
00:42:52.860 kind of a
00:42:53.720 trick.
00:42:54.920 or an
00:42:55.620 op or
00:42:55.940 something.
00:42:57.240 The way I
00:42:58.060 look at it
00:42:58.680 is it
00:42:59.460 doesn't
00:42:59.740 matter whether
00:43:01.320 it's an
00:43:01.640 op or not.
00:43:02.560 What matters
00:43:03.160 is it's
00:43:03.580 creating a
00:43:04.220 social proof
00:43:05.080 and it's
00:43:06.380 making it
00:43:06.820 safe for
00:43:07.760 other people
00:43:08.360 who might
00:43:08.760 be saying,
00:43:10.100 hey, I'm
00:43:11.400 starting to
00:43:11.900 think the
00:43:12.220 problem's on
00:43:12.820 our side,
00:43:13.840 that they
00:43:15.100 could say
00:43:15.440 it out loud
00:43:15.980 because the
00:43:16.720 rock said
00:43:17.180 it or
00:43:18.200 Charlemagne
00:43:18.720 said it.
00:43:19.160 It's a
00:43:20.160 lot easier
00:43:20.600 for a
00:43:20.900 Democrat
00:43:21.200 to say
00:43:22.020 something
00:43:22.420 anti-DEI
00:43:23.440 or think
00:43:24.120 something
00:43:24.540 anti-DEI
00:43:25.600 if they
00:43:26.380 know somebody
00:43:26.940 that is
00:43:27.680 famous for
00:43:28.240 being on
00:43:28.640 their team
00:43:29.160 just called
00:43:30.400 it garbage
00:43:30.860 in public.
00:43:33.020 Or if
00:43:33.940 they thought
00:43:34.760 they were
00:43:35.040 voting for
00:43:35.620 less division
00:43:36.460 when they
00:43:37.720 got Biden
00:43:38.380 but now
00:43:39.520 the rock
00:43:39.880 told them,
00:43:40.420 no, it's
00:43:40.700 actually more
00:43:41.240 division.
00:43:41.600 So just
00:43:43.980 hearing it
00:43:44.580 from somebody
00:43:45.640 on their
00:43:45.940 own team
00:43:46.380 is a whole
00:43:47.520 different
00:43:48.040 persuasion
00:43:49.140 than hearing
00:43:49.640 it from
00:43:49.920 the other
00:43:50.240 team.
00:43:50.900 If the
00:43:51.220 other team
00:43:51.620 says that
00:43:52.020 you just
00:43:52.280 put up
00:43:52.600 your walls
00:43:53.080 and go
00:43:53.420 blah, blah,
00:43:53.860 blah, other
00:43:54.280 team.
00:43:55.040 But if it's
00:43:55.680 coming from
00:43:56.200 inside your
00:43:56.840 house,
00:43:58.640 RFK Jr.,
00:43:59.600 the rock,
00:44:00.120 Charlemagne
00:44:00.460 the god,
00:44:02.200 and Bill
00:44:03.180 Maher,
00:44:03.700 to name a
00:44:04.120 few,
00:44:05.500 I think
00:44:06.340 that that's
00:44:06.660 persuasive in
00:44:07.360 the social
00:44:07.780 proof sense.
00:44:08.920 So whether
00:44:09.240 or not any
00:44:09.720 of these
00:44:09.960 people are
00:44:10.360 working with
00:44:10.800 some kind
00:44:11.120 of an
00:44:11.320 op,
00:44:11.700 which I
00:44:12.120 don't quite
00:44:13.160 know how
00:44:14.360 to connect
00:44:14.800 those dots
00:44:15.440 to make it
00:44:16.740 anything but
00:44:17.280 organic,
00:44:18.140 I think it's
00:44:18.860 organic.
00:44:19.720 I think they
00:44:20.080 have different
00:44:20.460 reasons,
00:44:20.880 just four
00:44:21.260 people with
00:44:21.720 four completely
00:44:22.300 different reasons,
00:44:23.860 but that
00:44:24.960 they're just
00:44:25.540 willing to
00:44:26.080 say something
00:44:26.620 that would
00:44:28.180 have been
00:44:28.360 harder to
00:44:28.780 say a year
00:44:29.140 ago.
00:44:31.600 All right,
00:44:32.280 Margaret Sullivan
00:44:32.940 writing in
00:44:33.640 The Guardian
00:44:34.040 is perplexed
00:44:36.740 that the
00:44:37.160 public is not
00:44:37.900 understanding how
00:44:38.740 good the
00:44:39.140 economy is.
00:44:39.940 and thinks
00:44:41.740 that the
00:44:43.620 journalists have
00:44:44.360 to do a
00:44:44.760 better job
00:44:45.420 of selling
00:44:46.260 the economy
00:44:46.840 so that
00:44:47.380 Biden can
00:44:48.180 look better.
00:44:49.400 Now,
00:44:49.600 aside from
00:44:50.020 the fact
00:44:50.320 that this
00:44:50.720 is obviously
00:44:51.240 just pure
00:44:52.700 Democrat
00:44:53.720 bullshit,
00:44:55.120 here's a
00:44:55.640 real problem.
00:44:57.280 Do journalists
00:44:58.080 think that they're
00:44:58.660 capable of writing
00:44:59.520 about the economy?
00:45:01.680 Does Margaret
00:45:02.620 Sullivan think
00:45:03.360 she's capable
00:45:03.980 of understanding
00:45:04.720 the economy?
00:45:05.400 Journalists are
00:45:07.680 the last
00:45:08.340 people who
00:45:09.680 should be
00:45:10.040 writing about
00:45:10.480 the economy.
00:45:11.500 Now,
00:45:11.720 if you're
00:45:12.660 an economist
00:45:13.300 and you
00:45:15.040 write,
00:45:15.760 that's fine
00:45:16.800 because if
00:45:17.960 you're an
00:45:18.280 economist and
00:45:19.380 you're also
00:45:19.740 a writer,
00:45:20.460 then you're
00:45:21.380 going to have
00:45:21.540 some good
00:45:21.920 opinions like,
00:45:22.720 let's say,
00:45:23.380 Krugman.
00:45:28.380 Come on.
00:45:29.820 You're not
00:45:30.260 going to let
00:45:30.540 me say that
00:45:31.060 without pushing
00:45:31.620 me back.
00:45:33.040 Krugman,
00:45:33.800 it's a
00:45:34.160 punchline.
00:45:34.580 famous for
00:45:37.660 being one
00:45:37.980 of the
00:45:38.140 most wrong
00:45:38.740 economists
00:45:39.280 in all
00:45:39.640 the world.
00:45:41.140 And Margaret
00:45:41.680 Sullivan pointed
00:45:42.700 to Krugman
00:45:44.480 as the
00:45:45.780 example of
00:45:46.340 somebody who's
00:45:46.880 trying to
00:45:47.560 set people
00:45:48.220 right.
00:45:50.760 Imagine being
00:45:51.600 a Democrat
00:45:52.120 and thinking
00:45:53.600 that Krugman
00:45:54.300 is your
00:45:54.720 gold standard
00:45:55.860 for accurate
00:45:56.660 economic
00:45:57.260 assessments.
00:45:59.060 Do they
00:45:59.780 really believe
00:46:00.300 that?
00:46:01.680 Do they
00:46:02.060 not know
00:46:02.580 that he's
00:46:02.960 just a
00:46:03.420 Democrat?
00:46:04.580 And that
00:46:04.980 anything he
00:46:05.540 says starts
00:46:06.140 from being
00:46:06.540 a Democrat
00:46:06.980 and then
00:46:07.520 he can
00:46:08.260 work the
00:46:08.660 economics
00:46:09.140 into his
00:46:09.640 story?
00:46:10.640 How do they
00:46:11.520 not notice
00:46:12.060 that?
00:46:13.600 Well,
00:46:13.920 anyway,
00:46:14.700 let me tell
00:46:16.600 you what's
00:46:17.040 true.
00:46:18.220 Margaret
00:46:18.480 Sullivan,
00:46:19.180 would you
00:46:19.520 be aware
00:46:20.080 that the
00:46:20.940 reason the
00:46:21.560 jobs are
00:46:22.460 growing so
00:46:22.980 quickly is
00:46:24.640 because we
00:46:25.160 just came
00:46:25.580 off a
00:46:25.900 pandemic?
00:46:27.960 Would she
00:46:28.640 be smart
00:46:29.120 enough to
00:46:29.460 know that?
00:46:30.360 Would she
00:46:30.740 be smart
00:46:31.140 enough to
00:46:31.480 know that
00:46:31.740 the great
00:46:32.060 jobs
00:46:32.400 numbers,
00:46:33.020 like
00:46:33.200 RFK
00:46:33.620 Jr.
00:46:33.980 says,
00:46:34.380 are not
00:46:35.000 really so
00:46:35.520 great?
00:46:37.220 Is she
00:46:37.760 going to
00:46:38.000 tell you
00:46:38.260 that those
00:46:38.600 numbers will
00:46:39.100 certainly be
00:46:39.700 revised because
00:46:40.560 it's an
00:46:40.940 election year
00:46:41.500 and the
00:46:41.840 people reporting
00:46:42.480 them are all
00:46:43.080 in the bag
00:46:43.600 for Democrats?
00:46:44.940 Do you
00:46:45.180 think the
00:46:45.500 journalist would
00:46:46.000 know that?
00:46:47.400 And if she
00:46:47.900 knew it,
00:46:48.180 would she
00:46:48.380 report it?
00:46:49.400 Do you
00:46:49.660 think the
00:46:49.980 journalist knows
00:46:50.560 that Krugman
00:46:51.100 has not
00:46:51.520 gotten everything
00:46:52.060 right?
00:46:53.700 Do you
00:46:54.140 think she
00:46:54.440 knows that
00:46:54.860 the reason
00:46:55.180 the GDP
00:46:55.760 is doing
00:46:56.340 well,
00:46:57.040 and even
00:46:57.440 employment,
00:46:58.020 I would say,
00:46:58.420 is that
00:46:59.240 the government
00:46:59.760 is spending
00:47:01.700 itself into
00:47:03.220 oblivion and
00:47:04.180 death spiral
00:47:05.320 and buying
00:47:07.720 too many
00:47:08.520 weapons for
00:47:09.160 war.
00:47:10.600 We're spending
00:47:11.040 a lot.
00:47:11.640 The government
00:47:12.060 spending is
00:47:13.620 a huge part
00:47:15.740 of that.
00:47:18.420 Anyway,
00:47:20.020 do you
00:47:21.240 think that
00:47:21.940 Margaret Sullivan
00:47:22.940 knows that
00:47:23.640 affordability
00:47:24.440 is a better
00:47:25.820 measure of
00:47:26.360 the economy
00:47:26.900 than your
00:47:28.280 wages
00:47:28.640 were up
00:47:29.020 4%?
00:47:30.260 Do you
00:47:30.800 think she
00:47:31.080 knows that?
00:47:32.280 Do you
00:47:32.660 think she
00:47:33.000 knows that
00:47:33.600 your 4%
00:47:34.700 wage increase
00:47:35.520 doesn't let
00:47:37.040 you move
00:47:37.400 out of your
00:47:37.760 parents'
00:47:38.200 house?
00:47:39.460 That's the
00:47:40.060 issue.
00:47:40.900 You can't
00:47:41.280 buy a
00:47:41.540 house,
00:47:41.920 can't live
00:47:42.380 on your
00:47:42.620 own,
00:47:43.020 can't start
00:47:43.420 a family.
00:47:44.260 If you
00:47:44.820 can't
00:47:45.200 reproduce,
00:47:46.580 your economy
00:47:47.920 is completely
00:47:48.520 broken.
00:47:50.620 Maybe there's
00:47:51.360 more than
00:47:51.720 that's
00:47:52.060 broken.
00:47:52.880 But if
00:47:53.360 your people
00:47:53.800 stopped
00:47:54.240 reproducing
00:47:55.060 because of
00:47:55.760 money,
00:47:56.900 your economy
00:47:57.980 is not
00:47:58.640 only not
00:47:59.180 good,
00:48:00.240 it's
00:48:01.120 fatal.
00:48:02.960 Let me
00:48:03.560 say that
00:48:03.880 again.
00:48:05.220 The current
00:48:05.860 economy is
00:48:07.540 discouraging
00:48:08.420 reproduction.
00:48:10.820 That's
00:48:11.600 fatal for
00:48:13.000 the entire
00:48:13.620 country,
00:48:14.920 guaranteed.
00:48:16.580 So,
00:48:17.500 would Margaret
00:48:18.360 Sullivan say,
00:48:19.060 yeah, but
00:48:19.500 wages are
00:48:20.360 up 4%
00:48:20.980 and employment
00:48:22.280 looks good
00:48:22.840 with all
00:48:23.140 these part-time
00:48:23.740 jobs?
00:48:24.200 would she
00:48:25.720 be able
00:48:26.020 to see
00:48:27.800 what's
00:48:28.280 really
00:48:28.540 going on?
00:48:29.480 A
00:48:29.740 journalist,
00:48:30.660 not an
00:48:31.380 economist.
00:48:33.800 Would she
00:48:34.520 know that
00:48:34.900 college
00:48:35.240 expenses are
00:48:36.020 so ridiculous
00:48:36.920 that the
00:48:37.560 old way
00:48:38.160 of getting
00:48:38.540 ahead doesn't
00:48:39.140 work?
00:48:40.200 It's just
00:48:40.740 unavailable,
00:48:42.240 basically,
00:48:42.720 for more
00:48:43.200 people.
00:48:44.000 Does she
00:48:44.400 know that
00:48:44.860 even though
00:48:45.380 the statistics
00:48:46.060 look good,
00:48:47.020 when people
00:48:47.460 fill up their
00:48:47.980 tank of gas
00:48:48.680 and it's
00:48:49.120 three figures,
00:48:50.680 you don't
00:48:51.060 forget that.
00:48:51.640 last time I
00:48:53.560 did a fill
00:48:54.000 up, over
00:48:55.040 $100.
00:48:58.080 Was it
00:48:58.760 ever $100
00:48:59.380 under Trump?
00:49:01.320 Ever?
00:49:02.740 I don't
00:49:03.400 think it
00:49:03.780 was.
00:49:04.360 Was it?
00:49:05.840 Yeah.
00:49:06.340 So, I
00:49:06.920 don't, I'm
00:49:07.580 not looking
00:49:08.040 at what
00:49:09.260 happened with
00:49:09.880 the price of
00:49:10.440 aluminum.
00:49:12.220 I'm looking
00:49:12.920 at my gas.
00:49:14.180 When I buy
00:49:15.000 groceries, and
00:49:16.660 I look at
00:49:17.520 the grocery
00:49:18.700 bill, does
00:49:20.720 that look
00:49:21.120 cheap to
00:49:21.540 me, or
00:49:22.900 does it
00:49:23.220 look like
00:49:23.740 40% higher
00:49:25.640 than it
00:49:25.960 was under
00:49:26.380 Trump?
00:49:27.760 Now, I
00:49:28.360 don't care
00:49:28.680 that it
00:49:28.920 went down
00:49:29.240 2% on
00:49:30.600 the cucumber
00:49:31.200 since yesterday.
00:49:33.520 I just
00:49:34.280 look at my
00:49:34.800 number, and
00:49:35.220 it's this
00:49:35.500 big old
00:49:35.920 number that
00:49:36.400 I'd never
00:49:36.740 seen until
00:49:37.260 Biden was
00:49:37.780 the president.
00:49:40.240 All right.
00:49:41.420 So, basically,
00:49:42.640 journalists
00:49:43.940 shouldn't even
00:49:44.440 write about
00:49:44.880 the economy
00:49:45.420 if they
00:49:46.100 understand it
00:49:46.740 so poorly.
00:49:47.600 And if
00:49:48.000 they're looking
00:49:48.380 to their
00:49:48.740 own economists
00:49:49.380 to give
00:49:50.100 them what's
00:49:50.580 true,
00:49:51.120 they've
00:49:51.600 been
00:49:51.740 looking at
00:49:52.300 the Krugman
00:49:53.260 types who
00:49:54.520 are not
00:49:55.020 economists
00:49:56.140 per se.
00:49:56.880 They're more
00:49:57.260 like political
00:49:57.920 figures and
00:49:59.040 writers who
00:49:59.900 happen to
00:50:00.280 have some
00:50:00.700 economic
00:50:01.600 experience.
00:50:04.620 All right.
00:50:04.960 Holman Jenkins
00:50:06.260 has a
00:50:07.520 Wall Street
00:50:08.120 Journal opinion
00:50:08.860 piece about
00:50:09.900 the upcoming
00:50:11.540 October
00:50:12.700 disinformation
00:50:13.420 plan that we
00:50:14.400 all know is
00:50:14.880 coming.
00:50:16.420 All right.
00:50:16.540 So, he
00:50:16.820 mentions that
00:50:17.360 in 2016,
00:50:18.100 Russian collusion
00:50:19.720 2020 was
00:50:20.680 the laptop
00:50:21.120 story.
00:50:22.540 And now
00:50:22.900 we're doing
00:50:23.520 the January
00:50:24.100 6th insurrection
00:50:24.940 hoax and
00:50:25.760 the it's
00:50:26.600 the end
00:50:26.900 of democracy
00:50:27.640 hoax.
00:50:30.800 Here's what,
00:50:31.960 here's how you
00:50:32.460 know that the
00:50:33.040 CIA is behind
00:50:34.820 the January
00:50:35.480 insurrection
00:50:36.160 hoax.
00:50:37.740 I don't think
00:50:38.600 you've ever
00:50:38.900 heard this
00:50:39.200 before.
00:50:40.540 Who would be
00:50:41.380 the greatest
00:50:42.040 experts in
00:50:43.180 our country
00:50:43.760 about whether
00:50:45.060 an insurrection
00:50:45.860 did happen,
00:50:47.720 at least
00:50:48.260 attempted,
00:50:49.140 or it didn't
00:50:50.220 happen.
00:50:51.200 That would be
00:50:51.700 the CIA.
00:50:52.560 Because they
00:50:53.160 literally are in
00:50:53.860 the business
00:50:54.360 of staging
00:50:55.260 insurrections
00:50:56.060 in other
00:50:57.100 countries.
00:50:57.920 So, they
00:50:58.480 would certainly
00:50:59.060 be the experts
00:50:59.940 to know if
00:51:00.940 this was or
00:51:01.520 was not.
00:51:02.700 Wouldn't you
00:51:03.060 love to have
00:51:03.520 them give you
00:51:04.480 an opinion?
00:51:05.440 But I don't
00:51:06.020 remember hearing
00:51:06.660 them.
00:51:07.380 The only ones
00:51:07.880 I remember
00:51:08.300 are the ones
00:51:08.800 like, you
00:51:09.340 know,
00:51:10.000 Brennan and
00:51:10.820 Clapper and
00:51:11.700 the ones who
00:51:12.700 are clearly
00:51:13.580 illegitimate
00:51:14.500 liars.
00:51:17.640 You know,
00:51:17.820 the confirmed
00:51:18.300 liars.
00:51:21.240 Anyway,
00:51:21.860 I don't know
00:51:22.260 if we have
00:51:22.640 to wait for
00:51:23.320 a new
00:51:23.740 hoax or
00:51:24.380 if they'll
00:51:24.700 just use
00:51:25.160 January 6th
00:51:25.920 and their
00:51:26.200 insurrection
00:51:26.640 hoax to
00:51:28.160 do it.
00:51:30.020 The Biden
00:51:30.760 administration
00:51:31.340 is making
00:51:32.260 it harder
00:51:32.660 to fire
00:51:33.320 bureaucrats,
00:51:35.220 which presumably
00:51:36.780 is because
00:51:37.920 they expect
00:51:38.480 Trump to
00:51:38.900 be president
00:51:39.460 and to
00:51:40.100 clean house.
00:51:42.040 So,
00:51:42.440 they're doing
00:51:42.900 some kind
00:51:43.260 of little
00:51:43.500 technical
00:51:43.940 change that
00:51:44.760 would change
00:51:45.440 the designation
00:51:46.120 of some
00:51:46.560 people to
00:51:46.980 make them
00:51:47.320 impossible to
00:51:48.100 fire so
00:51:49.300 that Trump
00:51:49.880 would be
00:51:50.240 handicapped by
00:51:51.160 having all
00:51:52.180 disloyal people
00:51:53.080 on his staff
00:51:53.760 or, you
00:51:54.560 know, in the
00:51:54.900 government.
00:51:55.880 Great.
00:51:56.520 Great.
00:51:58.380 Terrific.
00:51:59.600 What exactly
00:52:00.420 is the benefit
00:52:01.120 of making it
00:52:01.640 harder to fire
00:52:02.360 people who are
00:52:02.900 not doing a
00:52:03.460 good job or
00:52:04.440 you can't
00:52:04.840 trust?
00:52:06.220 What's the
00:52:06.760 benefit of that?
00:52:07.380 I can't
00:52:09.700 think of
00:52:09.940 one.
00:52:10.700 Well, here's
00:52:11.260 some interesting
00:52:11.760 news.
00:52:12.740 Two dozen
00:52:13.620 of the
00:52:14.160 January 6
00:52:14.840 protesters
00:52:15.520 filed a
00:52:17.220 lawsuit against
00:52:18.040 the Capitol
00:52:18.460 Police for
00:52:19.160 all of their
00:52:19.780 alleged
00:52:21.840 violent and
00:52:23.040 historic
00:52:23.600 gross indifference,
00:52:25.420 dereliction of
00:52:26.020 duty and
00:52:26.700 injury and
00:52:28.180 all that.
00:52:28.960 Now, I don't
00:52:29.300 know if anything
00:52:29.820 will come from
00:52:30.400 that, but
00:52:31.040 it's more
00:52:31.800 evidence that
00:52:33.320 Republicans have
00:52:34.200 grown a spine
00:52:35.040 and they've
00:52:36.320 realized that
00:52:36.940 if they don't
00:52:37.460 fight back,
00:52:38.200 they will be
00:52:38.600 law-fared
00:52:39.160 end of
00:52:39.560 existence.
00:52:40.940 And so it
00:52:41.320 appears that
00:52:42.840 a number of
00:52:43.560 prominent and
00:52:44.420 powerful Republicans
00:52:45.480 have banded
00:52:46.100 together.
00:52:47.620 Probably there's
00:52:48.500 somebody funding
00:52:49.160 this.
00:52:50.340 My guess is
00:52:51.180 there's some
00:52:51.520 external force
00:52:52.420 who's putting
00:52:52.920 the money up
00:52:53.500 to make this
00:52:54.820 lawsuit happen.
00:52:56.220 And so it
00:52:57.360 appears that
00:52:57.900 Republicans have
00:52:58.740 developed an
00:52:59.640 infrastructure for
00:53:01.700 funding legal
00:53:02.660 responses.
00:53:03.240 And that
00:53:04.760 feels important
00:53:05.520 because that's
00:53:07.280 definitely a
00:53:07.760 mutually assured
00:53:08.380 destruction.
00:53:09.820 And it looks
00:53:10.380 like Republicans
00:53:11.960 are going to
00:53:12.420 have to destroy
00:53:13.040 the careers and
00:53:13.840 lives of maybe
00:53:15.380 dozens of
00:53:16.080 Democrats.
00:53:17.360 Some of them
00:53:18.000 won't deserve
00:53:18.540 it, but it
00:53:19.840 probably is
00:53:20.240 a necessary
00:53:20.900 step to get
00:53:23.340 balance.
00:53:26.520 Let's see.
00:53:28.200 So four-term
00:53:29.040 Louisiana
00:53:29.600 Republican Clay
00:53:30.680 Higgins
00:53:31.220 said that
00:53:34.380 he's claiming
00:53:37.420 that the
00:53:37.780 FBI agents
00:53:39.040 entrapped the
00:53:39.640 U.S.
00:53:39.920 Capitol rioters
00:53:40.700 on January
00:53:41.100 6th.
00:53:41.720 So he says
00:53:42.740 that they
00:53:43.420 brought in
00:53:43.840 a big bunch
00:53:45.000 of ghost
00:53:45.460 buses and
00:53:46.320 that they're
00:53:47.940 guilty of all
00:53:48.740 that.
00:53:49.480 Now here's
00:53:49.820 the thing.
00:53:50.960 The government
00:53:51.460 apparently will
00:53:52.920 not tell us
00:53:53.680 how many of
00:53:54.240 their people
00:53:54.760 were on the
00:53:55.560 ground that
00:53:56.060 day.
00:53:56.860 That's still
00:53:57.460 true, right?
00:53:57.980 The FBI
00:53:59.420 has never
00:53:59.780 told us
00:54:00.240 how many
00:54:00.700 of their
00:54:00.940 agents were
00:54:01.420 there.
00:54:03.860 Can you
00:54:04.380 confirm that?
00:54:05.080 I think that's
00:54:05.560 true.
00:54:05.860 They haven't
00:54:06.140 told us.
00:54:07.300 And what
00:54:08.440 can you
00:54:08.800 conclude from
00:54:09.600 the fact that
00:54:10.140 you know
00:54:10.540 some were
00:54:10.900 there?
00:54:11.400 I don't
00:54:11.800 think there's
00:54:12.200 any question
00:54:12.780 that they
00:54:13.140 were there.
00:54:13.860 I don't
00:54:14.160 even think
00:54:14.840 anybody's
00:54:15.180 doubting that.
00:54:16.140 It would
00:54:16.420 only be a
00:54:16.820 question of
00:54:17.180 how many.
00:54:18.280 If there
00:54:18.640 were three
00:54:19.060 people, you
00:54:19.740 say, oh,
00:54:20.320 okay, they
00:54:20.700 didn't have
00:54:20.980 that much
00:54:21.320 influence.
00:54:21.700 If it
00:54:22.660 was 50
00:54:24.560 people, then
00:54:27.020 you might
00:54:27.460 assume that
00:54:28.000 the reason
00:54:28.480 was not
00:54:29.260 to stop
00:54:29.880 things or
00:54:30.320 watch things
00:54:30.900 but to
00:54:31.260 cause things
00:54:31.880 because that's
00:54:32.520 a lot of
00:54:32.820 people.
00:54:34.200 So the
00:54:35.460 fact that
00:54:35.860 the government
00:54:36.300 has not
00:54:36.780 confirmed how
00:54:38.860 many of
00:54:39.380 their FBI
00:54:39.960 agents were
00:54:40.520 there, I
00:54:40.940 think any
00:54:41.860 non-transparency
00:54:43.000 from the
00:54:43.400 government has
00:54:44.000 to be seen
00:54:44.440 as guilt.
00:54:45.760 So I would
00:54:46.420 treat it as
00:54:46.880 a confession.
00:54:49.560 If they
00:54:50.160 don't tell
00:54:50.540 you how
00:54:50.760 many FBI
00:54:51.260 agents are
00:54:51.900 there, that's
00:54:52.700 all you need
00:54:53.080 to know.
00:54:54.340 Your working
00:54:55.100 assumption should
00:54:55.780 be, oh, there
00:54:57.080 were a lot of
00:54:57.580 them and they
00:54:58.040 were there for
00:54:58.480 nefarious purposes
00:54:59.440 and they
00:55:00.340 probably caused
00:55:01.180 this up and
00:55:02.660 they're part of
00:55:03.420 the brainwashing.
00:55:04.660 So that's my
00:55:05.400 working assumption.
00:55:07.420 Now, may I
00:55:09.000 do an impression
00:55:11.160 of a Democrat
00:55:11.900 hearing me say
00:55:12.660 that?
00:55:13.580 But Scott, show
00:55:14.900 your proof.
00:55:15.720 Where's all
00:55:16.160 your proof?
00:55:17.400 Okay, you're not
00:55:17.940 listening to me.
00:55:19.380 When the
00:55:20.040 government won't
00:55:20.800 show its
00:55:21.780 proof, they
00:55:24.120 don't have the
00:55:24.580 assumption of
00:55:25.200 innocence, they
00:55:25.820 have the
00:55:26.060 assumption of
00:55:26.520 guilt.
00:55:27.600 So non-transparency
00:55:29.000 from your
00:55:30.080 government is a
00:55:31.580 confession.
00:55:33.080 Non-transparency is
00:55:35.280 a confession.
00:55:38.800 Same with the
00:55:39.600 elections.
00:55:41.340 All right.
00:55:41.660 somebody cleverly
00:55:45.820 said to me, so
00:55:46.900 Scott, because I
00:55:49.280 also said it's
00:55:49.900 the worst-case
00:55:50.460 scenario.
00:55:51.060 If they're not
00:55:51.520 telling you
00:55:51.940 something, you
00:55:52.740 can assume the
00:55:53.300 worst-case
00:55:53.660 scenario.
00:55:54.620 And somebody
00:55:55.060 said, what
00:55:55.460 about the UFO
00:55:56.320 stuff?
00:55:56.860 The government
00:55:57.500 won't admit we
00:55:58.340 have UFOs, so
00:55:59.380 is it a worst-case
00:56:00.940 scenario there?
00:56:03.320 Good question.
00:56:04.860 And the answer
00:56:05.380 is, it depends
00:56:06.780 what you think is
00:56:07.640 the worst-case
00:56:08.200 scenario.
00:56:08.660 If you think
00:56:10.480 the worst-case
00:56:11.040 scenario is that
00:56:11.900 aliens are going
00:56:12.640 to kill us, well,
00:56:14.080 okay, that would
00:56:15.660 be pretty bad.
00:56:17.000 But I assume the
00:56:18.180 aliens are not
00:56:18.840 real, so that the
00:56:20.760 worst-case scenario
00:56:21.580 is that the CIA
00:56:22.760 has been telling
00:56:24.280 alien stories
00:56:25.140 forever whenever
00:56:25.780 they want to
00:56:26.260 distract us.
00:56:27.340 That's the worst-case
00:56:28.160 scenario for me.
00:56:29.680 Because the worst-case
00:56:30.520 realistic scenario
00:56:32.260 does not involve
00:56:33.360 actual aliens.
00:56:34.900 It's not really
00:56:35.520 realistic.
00:56:36.740 But the worst-case
00:56:37.660 real-life
00:56:38.340 scenario is that
00:56:39.360 the CIA has
00:56:40.220 been intentionally
00:56:41.060 diverting our
00:56:42.620 attention with
00:56:43.200 alien stories,
00:56:44.340 which, by the
00:56:44.880 way, historically
00:56:45.760 we know they
00:56:46.380 have done.
00:56:47.260 We don't have
00:56:49.080 confirmation that
00:56:50.060 they're doing it
00:56:50.560 today, but we
00:56:52.100 do have written
00:56:52.620 confirmation they've
00:56:53.620 done it in the
00:56:54.640 past, used UFOs
00:56:55.980 as a diversion.
00:56:59.440 Well, can we
00:57:00.460 be honest enough
00:57:02.880 to mock Biden's
00:57:04.260 all-female White
00:57:05.060 House comms team?
00:57:06.020 So his communications
00:57:08.240 team, when he
00:57:09.280 formed it, was
00:57:10.280 all women.
00:57:11.180 I think there were
00:57:12.000 nine principals in
00:57:15.180 the group, probably
00:57:16.140 with lesser staffers
00:57:17.540 there, too.
00:57:18.300 But all nine were
00:57:19.120 women, and pretty
00:57:20.460 high level of
00:57:21.300 diversity within the
00:57:22.160 women as well.
00:57:23.680 And they were quite
00:57:24.900 proud of that.
00:57:26.560 And I think we would
00:57:27.880 all agree they have
00:57:28.600 the worst comms team
00:57:29.840 of any president
00:57:30.680 ever.
00:57:31.000 I mean, just
00:57:32.580 laughably bad.
00:57:35.260 So, at what
00:57:36.640 point can we call
00:57:37.480 Biden's administration
00:57:38.840 the DEI government?
00:57:41.060 Because a lot of
00:57:41.960 what we're seeing,
00:57:42.840 in terms of
00:57:43.980 incompetence, is
00:57:46.400 really exactly what
00:57:47.580 we warned, which
00:57:49.200 has nothing to do
00:57:50.020 with anybody's
00:57:50.640 genetics and
00:57:51.480 nothing to do
00:57:52.000 with anybody's
00:57:52.580 culture, that
00:57:54.020 there might be
00:57:54.680 just not enough
00:57:55.440 people to go
00:57:56.080 around if
00:57:56.980 everybody wanted
00:57:57.680 to improve their
00:57:58.500 diversity.
00:57:59.940 You're going to
00:58:00.600 have to go
00:58:01.720 deeper in the
00:58:02.640 less qualified
00:58:03.500 people just to
00:58:05.460 meet your
00:58:05.720 diversity goal.
00:58:07.900 Now, do you
00:58:09.060 know who doesn't
00:58:09.640 believe that?
00:58:15.340 Well, never
00:58:16.440 mind.
00:58:17.500 I'm going to
00:58:17.860 skip that one.
00:58:21.300 Anyway, Tony
00:58:23.500 Bobulinski,
00:58:24.540 Bobulinski,
00:58:25.600 he's going to
00:58:26.240 sue Representative
00:58:28.060 Democrat
00:58:29.120 Representative
00:58:29.620 Daniel Goldman
00:58:30.440 for allegedly
00:58:32.380 defaming him.
00:58:33.820 Daily Caller is
00:58:34.720 reporting that.
00:58:36.260 Now, I don't
00:58:37.300 have an opinion
00:58:37.820 about whether
00:58:38.400 that's a worthy
00:58:39.220 lawsuit.
00:58:40.720 Here's what I do
00:58:41.380 have an opinion
00:58:41.880 about.
00:58:43.120 I'm guessing
00:58:44.060 that the same
00:58:46.300 well-organized
00:58:47.500 Republicans who
00:58:48.540 are behind other
00:58:49.300 lawsuits are behind
00:58:50.180 this.
00:58:51.220 I doubt Tony
00:58:52.140 Bobulinski would
00:58:52.980 pay his own
00:58:53.580 money to pursue
00:58:55.440 a defamation
00:58:56.520 case that probably
00:58:57.500 won't work.
00:58:58.880 Defamation is
00:58:59.500 really hard to
00:59:00.040 prove.
00:59:00.900 It's not the
00:59:01.640 sort of thing
00:59:02.160 you do with
00:59:02.660 your own
00:59:02.980 money.
00:59:04.200 It is the
00:59:04.840 sort of thing
00:59:05.280 you do if
00:59:05.920 some rich
00:59:06.800 Republican said,
00:59:07.640 I'll pay for
00:59:08.020 the whole thing.
00:59:09.020 And if you're
00:59:09.500 mad enough,
00:59:10.240 maybe you can
00:59:10.700 get your
00:59:11.020 revenge.
00:59:12.720 So that's
00:59:14.120 what's happening.
00:59:15.040 So it's a good
00:59:15.560 trend that the
00:59:16.240 Republicans are
00:59:17.060 going full
00:59:18.140 legal war now.
00:59:20.700 And apparently
00:59:23.200 even Democrat
00:59:24.260 judges are
00:59:24.920 noticing that
00:59:25.720 the Democrats
00:59:26.500 have gone too
00:59:27.200 far.
00:59:27.880 So there's a
00:59:28.700 story about a
00:59:29.180 federal judge,
00:59:30.420 a Democrat
00:59:31.900 appointed judge,
00:59:33.620 who just went
00:59:35.220 off on the
00:59:36.240 Hunter Biden
00:59:36.900 related subpoenas
00:59:39.320 case.
00:59:40.200 So U.S.
00:59:40.740 District Judge
00:59:42.080 Anna Reyes,
00:59:45.560 a Biden
00:59:46.020 appointee to the
00:59:46.980 federal court.
00:59:47.520 and she just
00:59:48.720 spent an hour
00:59:49.320 saying that the
00:59:50.060 Justice Department
00:59:50.760 attorneys were
00:59:53.440 hypocrites for
00:59:55.480 instructing two
00:59:56.300 other lawyers to
00:59:57.400 not comply with
00:59:58.220 the House
00:59:58.500 subpoena.
00:59:59.740 And this
01:00:00.540 Democrat judge
01:00:02.280 says, all
01:00:02.960 right, let me
01:00:03.360 understand.
01:00:04.820 Peter Navarro
01:00:05.740 is in jail for
01:00:07.780 the thing you're
01:00:08.420 saying you want
01:00:09.080 to do.
01:00:10.680 Now explain how
01:00:11.840 that works.
01:00:13.400 You just put
01:00:14.280 Peter Navarro in
01:00:15.140 jail for the
01:00:15.640 exact same thing
01:00:16.440 and now you
01:00:17.780 think that your
01:00:18.340 two lawyers
01:00:18.900 should walk
01:00:19.360 free.
01:00:20.420 How?
01:00:21.760 Make that make
01:00:22.800 sense.
01:00:23.700 And apparently
01:00:24.260 she just went
01:00:24.880 off on him
01:00:25.480 because it's so
01:00:26.660 obviously a
01:00:27.820 non-justice
01:00:30.440 process.
01:00:31.460 I mean, it's
01:00:31.820 obvious to her
01:00:32.700 that the legal
01:00:33.780 system has been
01:00:34.620 co-opted, I
01:00:35.480 would say.
01:00:36.200 Based on her
01:00:36.800 words, it seems
01:00:37.340 obvious that she's
01:00:38.660 not trusting the
01:00:39.460 Department of
01:00:39.900 Justice.
01:00:42.800 So there's
01:00:44.120 that.
01:00:44.460 So maybe
01:00:46.340 other people
01:00:46.760 are noticing
01:00:47.160 too.
01:00:48.080 Here's
01:00:48.460 something you
01:00:49.180 didn't know
01:00:49.580 about.
01:00:52.640 I'm not
01:00:53.300 sure this is
01:00:54.100 proven yet.
01:00:56.420 So I'm not
01:00:57.260 happy about the
01:00:58.040 quality of the
01:00:58.840 sources for this
01:00:59.760 story.
01:01:00.360 But I'll report
01:01:01.220 it as long as
01:01:02.000 you know that
01:01:02.620 you can't confirm
01:01:04.220 this is entirely
01:01:05.180 true.
01:01:06.300 But the story
01:01:06.880 goes like this.
01:01:08.700 That Israel is
01:01:09.640 using facial
01:01:11.100 recognition in
01:01:12.620 Gaza and with
01:01:13.700 the Palestinians
01:01:14.340 to determine
01:01:16.220 who the
01:01:16.920 Hamas
01:01:18.160 militant
01:01:18.780 terrorists are.
01:01:20.840 And part
01:01:21.940 of that is
01:01:23.440 an AI
01:01:24.060 program working
01:01:24.880 in the back.
01:01:25.500 So it's not
01:01:25.940 just facial
01:01:27.680 recognition.
01:01:28.660 It's also
01:01:29.520 activity.
01:01:31.600 So if you,
01:01:32.420 let's say,
01:01:32.740 were on a
01:01:33.560 WhatsApp group
01:01:34.440 with some
01:01:35.040 terrorists,
01:01:36.620 the AI would
01:01:37.500 say, well,
01:01:38.360 there's a good
01:01:38.900 chance you're
01:01:39.400 a terrorist
01:01:39.780 too.
01:01:40.020 So they
01:01:42.240 would look
01:01:42.520 at your
01:01:42.800 lifestyle,
01:01:43.440 your travel,
01:01:44.480 anything they
01:01:45.200 could find out
01:01:45.720 about you,
01:01:46.260 your social
01:01:46.680 media, and
01:01:47.800 then they
01:01:48.100 would create
01:01:48.640 a list,
01:01:49.280 the AI
01:01:49.680 would, of
01:01:50.960 probable
01:01:51.600 terrorists or
01:01:52.740 probable
01:01:53.260 Hamas militants.
01:01:56.040 And then
01:01:56.480 they would
01:01:56.780 wait.
01:01:57.340 Now this
01:01:57.800 is the
01:01:58.120 claim, and
01:02:00.340 it's a
01:02:01.140 little too
01:02:02.980 on the nose
01:02:03.640 for me,
01:02:05.540 meaning it
01:02:06.440 sounds exactly
01:02:07.200 like something
01:02:08.300 Israel's enemies
01:02:09.360 wouldn't make
01:02:09.960 up out of
01:02:10.460 nothing.
01:02:11.660 So I'm
01:02:12.360 not there
01:02:13.840 believing it
01:02:14.560 all yet.
01:02:15.840 I'm just
01:02:16.540 reporting that
01:02:17.360 it's in the
01:02:17.780 news.
01:02:19.260 And the
01:02:19.780 report is
01:02:20.480 that once
01:02:21.140 they use
01:02:21.500 their AI
01:02:22.140 and their
01:02:22.540 facial
01:02:22.800 recognition,
01:02:24.000 and they
01:02:24.400 know who
01:02:25.200 they want
01:02:25.560 to target,
01:02:26.780 they wait
01:02:27.300 for that
01:02:27.640 person to
01:02:28.160 go to
01:02:28.420 their
01:02:28.660 residence
01:02:29.280 at night,
01:02:30.140 and they
01:02:31.040 bomb the
01:02:31.400 whole residence
01:02:31.960 and kill
01:02:32.300 the family.
01:02:34.940 Now the
01:02:35.720 allegation is
01:02:37.840 that Israel
01:02:38.260 knows it's
01:02:38.820 doing this,
01:02:39.360 and knows
01:02:40.320 that it's
01:02:40.720 AI will
01:02:41.200 be wrong
01:02:41.700 say 10%
01:02:42.720 of the
01:02:42.980 time.
01:02:44.320 And that
01:02:44.680 10% of
01:02:45.260 the time
01:02:45.520 they're not
01:02:45.920 only not
01:02:47.380 killing a
01:02:48.520 Hamas
01:02:48.960 operative,
01:02:50.240 but they're
01:02:51.120 killing the
01:02:51.540 family of
01:02:52.040 the person
01:02:52.440 who is
01:02:53.360 also not
01:02:54.320 a Hamas
01:02:54.740 person.
01:02:55.740 So that's
01:02:56.460 the allegation
01:02:56.980 against them.
01:02:58.440 And then
01:02:59.280 there's a
01:02:59.880 further
01:03:00.800 allegation that
01:03:01.680 they're using
01:03:02.180 Google product
01:03:03.560 as part of
01:03:04.120 that.
01:03:04.900 So part of
01:03:05.740 the Google
01:03:06.380 facial stuff.
01:03:08.180 I guess
01:03:08.800 Google can
01:03:09.520 group people
01:03:10.960 by face.
01:03:12.840 So that
01:03:13.580 has something
01:03:14.040 to do with
01:03:14.500 what they're
01:03:14.760 doing.
01:03:15.700 So I
01:03:16.960 would be
01:03:17.320 suspicious of
01:03:18.180 this story
01:03:18.900 because it's
01:03:22.260 a little too
01:03:22.800 perfect.
01:03:24.200 It brings in
01:03:25.360 the headlines
01:03:26.000 of the AI
01:03:26.860 and facial
01:03:28.120 recognition,
01:03:29.080 and people
01:03:29.940 want to make
01:03:30.460 that evil.
01:03:31.000 and then
01:03:32.080 it brings
01:03:33.400 in this
01:03:33.760 other story
01:03:34.680 about bombing
01:03:36.480 the wrong
01:03:36.860 people and
01:03:37.760 bombing the
01:03:38.380 residents and
01:03:39.120 stuff like
01:03:39.400 that.
01:03:39.900 It kind
01:03:40.720 of conveniently
01:03:41.980 ties together
01:03:43.040 too many
01:03:43.520 popular things
01:03:44.580 for me to
01:03:45.180 feel comfortable
01:03:46.020 with the
01:03:46.420 story.
01:03:50.280 Yeah.
01:03:51.260 All right.
01:03:52.600 So you
01:03:53.680 can believe
01:03:54.120 that one
01:03:54.480 or not.
01:03:54.960 but let me
01:03:58.260 ask you this
01:03:58.720 question.
01:03:59.580 Suppose it's
01:04:00.320 all true
01:04:00.800 and that the
01:04:02.580 Israelis look
01:04:03.340 at somebody
01:04:03.740 who is 90%
01:04:04.660 likely to be
01:04:05.700 a militant
01:04:07.080 and that they
01:04:08.380 do actually
01:04:08.960 wait until
01:04:09.460 they're in
01:04:09.800 their house.
01:04:11.280 Would that
01:04:11.960 be wrong?
01:04:13.960 because if
01:04:19.640 they think
01:04:20.180 they're probably
01:04:20.960 killing a
01:04:21.720 bad guy
01:04:22.300 and they've
01:04:24.140 accepted some
01:04:24.840 collateral damage
01:04:25.740 to do it,
01:04:27.020 that's not a
01:04:28.060 lot different
01:04:28.500 than the war
01:04:29.000 in general.
01:04:31.560 I mean,
01:04:31.960 you'd have to
01:04:32.820 make your
01:04:33.220 argument,
01:04:33.780 but it's not
01:04:34.400 that different
01:04:34.960 than just
01:04:35.380 everything that
01:04:35.960 happens in
01:04:36.420 war.
01:04:37.340 Because,
01:04:37.920 you know,
01:04:38.220 when you're
01:04:38.860 bombing a city,
01:04:39.640 for example,
01:04:41.100 you know you're
01:04:41.840 killing civilians.
01:04:42.620 and you
01:04:44.760 know that
01:04:45.200 you're doing
01:04:45.860 it intentionally
01:04:46.560 in the sense
01:04:47.420 that it's
01:04:47.940 unavoidable.
01:04:49.420 Intentional
01:04:49.940 meaning unavoidable,
01:04:51.160 not you
01:04:52.040 wanted to do
01:04:52.660 it.
01:04:55.580 I don't know.
01:04:56.320 And when you
01:04:56.780 assume that the
01:04:57.520 Hamas person
01:04:58.280 has weaponized
01:04:59.040 his family,
01:05:00.500 there's a
01:05:01.820 small distinction
01:05:02.760 between the
01:05:04.300 actual gun
01:05:04.960 holder and
01:05:05.800 the teenage
01:05:06.360 sons who,
01:05:07.400 you know,
01:05:08.140 want to follow
01:05:08.660 in their
01:05:08.980 footsteps and,
01:05:10.520 you know,
01:05:10.700 the mom who
01:05:11.200 raised them.
01:05:11.600 So you
01:05:12.980 could make
01:05:13.300 the argument
01:05:13.760 that blowing
01:05:15.000 up those
01:05:15.440 homes is just
01:05:16.120 part of normal
01:05:16.820 military action
01:05:18.120 if it's
01:05:18.580 happening at
01:05:19.040 all.
01:05:20.600 I don't know
01:05:21.240 what the
01:05:21.460 odds are.
01:05:23.140 I'd give it
01:05:23.720 a 50-50.
01:05:25.440 I think the
01:05:26.140 best I could
01:05:26.660 do is 50%
01:05:27.680 chance likely
01:05:28.420 to be true.
01:05:29.580 Coin flip.
01:05:30.400 And the
01:05:30.680 coin flip is
01:05:31.280 because there's
01:05:32.340 nothing to
01:05:32.780 depend on in
01:05:33.620 the story.
01:05:34.700 It's a very
01:05:35.200 undependable
01:05:35.940 story.
01:05:37.180 You know,
01:05:37.360 hidden sources,
01:05:38.060 yeah,
01:05:40.980 it just
01:05:41.340 doesn't quite
01:05:42.420 add up.
01:05:44.900 All right.
01:05:46.000 And then
01:05:46.460 there's some,
01:05:48.380 I guess,
01:05:48.840 America,
01:05:49.540 the Biden
01:05:49.860 administration
01:05:50.320 is pressing
01:05:50.920 Israel to
01:05:52.580 let some
01:05:54.440 civilians get
01:05:55.340 back into
01:05:56.380 the north of
01:05:57.060 Gaza.
01:05:59.440 Now,
01:06:00.440 is that
01:06:01.740 real?
01:06:02.720 Or does the
01:06:03.520 United States
01:06:04.060 not understand
01:06:04.760 what's happening
01:06:05.320 here?
01:06:06.660 They're not
01:06:07.240 going to just
01:06:07.720 let everybody
01:06:08.280 go back.
01:06:09.540 What would be
01:06:10.240 the point of
01:06:10.720 even having a
01:06:11.360 war if you're
01:06:11.900 going to let
01:06:12.100 them go back
01:06:12.640 and just
01:06:12.980 rebuild their
01:06:13.660 whole problem?
01:06:16.500 Whatever is
01:06:17.160 going to happen,
01:06:17.880 and I certainly
01:06:18.520 don't know,
01:06:19.440 but it's not
01:06:20.300 going to be,
01:06:20.780 hey, let's
01:06:21.100 just build
01:06:21.500 back and all
01:06:22.160 you peaceful
01:06:23.600 civilians go
01:06:24.820 live in peace.
01:06:26.460 I don't know
01:06:27.100 what's going to
01:06:27.440 happen.
01:06:28.180 I'd like to
01:06:28.960 make a prediction.
01:06:31.200 Here's a future
01:06:31.980 conspiracy theory
01:06:33.020 prediction.
01:06:35.320 I don't think
01:06:36.300 Israel can say
01:06:37.800 out loud what
01:06:39.400 the real plan
01:06:40.080 is, which
01:06:41.360 is not to
01:06:42.240 resettle it.
01:06:43.840 I'm just
01:06:44.560 speculating,
01:06:45.720 not based on
01:06:46.700 any information.
01:06:48.260 So, if it
01:06:49.480 were me, and
01:06:50.620 I was trying
01:06:51.040 to sell this
01:06:51.880 story without
01:06:53.420 actually saying
01:06:54.260 it out loud,
01:06:55.400 that we're not
01:06:55.940 going to let
01:06:56.260 people in,
01:06:57.180 you have to
01:06:57.700 come up with
01:06:58.080 some other
01:06:58.500 reason.
01:07:01.040 You can't
01:07:01.800 just say,
01:07:03.080 well, yeah,
01:07:04.100 it's mostly,
01:07:04.740 women and
01:07:05.720 children and
01:07:06.200 stuff, but
01:07:06.640 we're not
01:07:06.960 going to let
01:07:07.280 you live in
01:07:08.340 peace where
01:07:08.800 you used to
01:07:09.280 live.
01:07:09.780 You can't
01:07:10.160 really say
01:07:10.620 that.
01:07:11.860 Here's
01:07:12.180 something you
01:07:12.600 could say.
01:07:15.500 Sadly,
01:07:16.260 there's been
01:07:17.020 an environmental
01:07:17.640 disaster.
01:07:19.340 The water
01:07:20.200 system has
01:07:20.800 been polluted.
01:07:22.080 Darn it.
01:07:23.400 And there's
01:07:24.100 so much
01:07:24.620 cancer-causing
01:07:26.680 dust in the
01:07:27.920 air from all
01:07:28.560 the bombing
01:07:29.120 and asbestos,
01:07:30.260 I'm just
01:07:30.600 making this
01:07:31.080 up, that it
01:07:32.620 would be
01:07:32.900 irresponsible
01:07:33.520 for us
01:07:34.200 to let
01:07:36.280 anybody go
01:07:36.840 live there
01:07:37.260 because it's
01:07:37.680 just too
01:07:38.100 dangerous.
01:07:38.920 So you
01:07:39.520 better stay
01:07:40.000 safe and
01:07:40.980 stay in
01:07:41.340 your refugee
01:07:41.860 camps or
01:07:42.540 wherever, go
01:07:43.460 to another
01:07:43.840 country maybe.
01:07:45.300 So I'm
01:07:46.560 looking for a
01:07:47.620 fake environmental
01:07:49.100 claim.
01:07:50.300 That's my
01:07:51.040 prediction.
01:07:52.180 That Israel
01:07:53.220 will make a
01:07:53.960 fake environmental
01:07:55.120 claim to
01:07:56.700 prevent people
01:07:57.400 from moving
01:07:57.860 back.
01:07:58.240 fake.
01:08:00.340 That's my
01:08:00.900 guess.
01:08:01.740 So we'll
01:08:02.960 watch.
01:08:03.700 Now, by the
01:08:04.080 way, it
01:08:04.320 might not be
01:08:04.800 fake.
01:08:06.300 It could be
01:08:07.080 there's
01:08:07.460 legitimately
01:08:08.120 an environmental
01:08:09.140 emergency there.
01:08:11.860 I mean, why
01:08:12.460 wouldn't there
01:08:12.780 be?
01:08:14.400 I can't
01:08:15.060 imagine that
01:08:15.520 anything you're
01:08:16.040 going to
01:08:16.260 breathe is
01:08:17.480 going to be
01:08:17.820 good for you
01:08:18.420 for a long
01:08:19.180 time.
01:08:20.100 I can't
01:08:20.500 believe that
01:08:20.920 if you're
01:08:21.520 digging around
01:08:22.100 in the
01:08:22.440 rubble,
01:08:23.060 trying to
01:08:23.600 clean up,
01:08:25.180 I can't
01:08:25.640 believe that's
01:08:26.100 going to be
01:08:26.340 good for
01:08:26.700 you.
01:08:27.900 Like, I
01:08:28.320 don't know
01:08:28.860 what kind
01:08:29.240 of microbes
01:08:30.680 and bugs
01:08:31.260 and germs
01:08:31.780 they got
01:08:32.180 in all
01:08:32.480 that debris,
01:08:34.360 but it
01:08:36.620 can't be
01:08:36.900 good.
01:08:37.560 All right,
01:08:37.860 ladies and
01:08:38.200 gentlemen,
01:08:38.540 that's all I
01:08:38.920 have for you
01:08:39.260 today on
01:08:39.740 this fine
01:08:40.860 weekend.

01:08:42.680 joining.
01:08:43.440 Let's keep

01:08:44.520 gaslighting
01:08:45.040 show.
01:08:45.540 I'm going
01:08:45.880 to say
01:08:46.260 goodbye to

01:08:47.380 platforms here
