Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2519 CWSA 06⧸27⧸24

00:00:00.000 Well, good morning and welcome to Coffee with Scott Adams, the highlight of human civilization.

00:00:18.840 If you'd like to take your experience today up to levels that nobody can even understand

00:00:23.480 with their tiny, smooth human brains, all you need is a copper mug or a glass of tanker 0.84

00:00:28.640 chalice or stein, a canteen jug or flask, a vessel of any kind, fill it with your favorite

00:00:33.000 liquid night like coffee.

00:00:36.060 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine at the end of the day, the

00:00:39.060 thing that makes everything better.

00:00:40.560 It's called the Simultaneous Sip, and it happens now.

00:00:49.480 Ah, delicious.

00:00:54.160 Well, if you follow the Dilber Reborn comic that you can only see if you subscribe on

00:00:58.180 next word if you're members of local, plus you get a lot more on locals, you would know

00:01:02.340 that Ratbird, who works for the Washington Post as a writer, has been assigned a CIA person

00:01:09.420 who will be telling him what to write.

00:01:11.940 So look for that.

00:01:15.520 Well, in the big news, let's start, I'm going to start with the big news, and then we'll

00:01:18.780 work with the little news later.

00:01:20.000 In the big news, Denmark is going to institute a cow fart tax because of the methane emissions.

00:01:29.320 So the farting cows are warming the earth.

00:01:32.040 We're all going to die.

00:01:33.980 And so Denmark has decided to increase your taxes if you've got a cow that farts.

00:01:42.420 Now, as I've told you, that's not the first thing they tried.

00:01:46.880 The first thing they tried was corks. 1.00

00:01:50.620 They thought, you know, if we just put a cork in these cattle's ass. 1.00

00:01:54.760 But what happened was the gas that couldn't be expelled from the cow started building up. 1.00

00:02:02.560 And eventually the cows would turn into dirigibles.

00:02:06.440 You know, if they inflated enough, they would be lighter than air.

00:02:09.000 And a lot of the cows inflated and ended up sort of drifting over to France.

00:02:13.880 And so they said, well, that's no good. 0.99

00:02:17.620 We're not going to cork their asses anymore. 1.00

00:02:19.320 We'll just tax them. 1.00

00:02:20.840 We'll just tax them. 1.00

00:02:22.440 So if you ever think to yourself, can I reduce my taxes by putting a cork in my own ass? 1.00

00:02:28.860 No. 1.00

00:02:30.020 No.

00:02:30.480 Don't do it because you might find yourself in France and nobody wants that.

00:02:34.280 The good news, scientists have found a way to make mice live forever.

00:02:41.940 So they've found a molecule that will influence their telomeres, you know, the part that makes you old.

00:02:49.800 And it'll increase their memory and speed and coordination and their grip strength.

00:02:54.960 You know, if there's one thing that's been bothering me for a while, is that mice, they have the older ones.

00:03:03.540 Their grip strength, it's nothing to write home about, let me tell you.

00:03:08.040 Like if you put your finger out for a mice or a mouse, we call a single one a mouse.

00:03:13.500 And it grabbed you and it tried to hold on with just this little hand strength.

00:03:20.500 You'd be like, are you serious, mouse?

00:03:24.720 That's your total hand strength?

00:03:27.420 Not very impressive.

00:03:29.020 Not very impressive at all.

00:03:30.540 But scientists have figured out how to make those mice stronger, smarter, reduced inflammation.

00:03:37.620 And it's going to be great for mice everywhere.

00:03:39.800 There's some thought that something like this could someday be useful for people.

00:03:45.160 But that's down the road.

00:03:47.000 The immediate benefit is to the mice.

00:03:49.660 And we're going to have the oldest, healthiest mice you've ever seen.

00:03:54.940 So if you've got a mouse in your house, it might be a fair fight in a few months.

00:04:02.600 There's a report in the New York Post.

00:04:05.280 And this is the kind of news that we need and the science that we need.

00:04:08.440 You know, there's a lot of frivolous news and science you can't trust sometimes.

00:04:14.460 But every now and then, the media will get it right.

00:04:18.540 And the science will be right.

00:04:20.160 Here's an example.

00:04:21.900 New York Post is reporting that a quarter of the respondents surveyed in a new study

00:04:27.900 said they've orgasmed from being tickled.

00:04:31.820 Just being tickled.

00:04:33.020 Wow.

00:04:35.580 That's quite a headline.

00:04:36.940 And I'm glad I read the whole story.

00:04:38.940 Because a quarter of the respondents surveyed.

00:04:42.380 A quarter of them.

00:04:43.440 Now, immediately, I say to myself, hmm.

00:04:46.340 Huh.

00:04:47.320 The Scott Alexander rule that says that if something sounds fantastically unlikely,

00:04:54.820 even though it's in the news, you're going to soon find out it's not true.

00:05:01.740 Because I'm pretty sure you've met other human beings.

00:05:05.100 You may have met more than four people. 0.88

00:05:07.740 I'll bet you would know if a quarter of the people you know would have an orgasm from being tickled.

00:05:13.520 Don't you think you'd know that?

00:05:15.240 You'd probably know.

00:05:16.140 There would be some story in your life that's like, well, I was just tickling somebody and you wouldn't believe what happened.

00:05:23.180 Tried it again.

00:05:24.220 Worked twice.

00:05:25.740 So if you read down the article, it turns out that what they mean by a quarter of the respondents

00:05:30.920 is a quarter of the respondents who had said in advance that they have a fetish for being tickled.

00:05:39.740 So of the universe of people who have already responded to a survey saying, oh, my God, I like being tickled. 0.95

00:05:47.280 It gives me a sexual thrill. 0.90

00:05:49.720 A quarter of those people actually had an orgasm.

00:05:53.320 Now, that's not so impressive, is it?

00:05:56.060 I'd like to do a survey of people who like milk.

00:05:59.480 All right.

00:05:59.820 You're all the people who said you like milk.

00:06:01.400 All right.

00:06:01.620 Here's the question.

00:06:03.260 Do you like milk?

00:06:06.020 Wow.

00:06:07.280 Almost every person.

00:06:09.740 Wow.

00:06:11.180 That's called science.

00:06:13.040 It's not just science.

00:06:14.320 It's science you can use.

00:06:16.360 You can immediately apply this in your own life.

00:06:20.080 Well, I read that.

00:06:21.560 And just to make sure, I tickled myself. 0.88

00:06:25.000 And sure enough, major orgasm.

00:06:30.900 Speaking of breakthroughs, you know that solar panels are usually made from the same old silicon stuff.

00:06:37.780 But there's this thing that could work better called perovskite.

00:06:42.800 So, over at Rice University, which is weird.

00:06:49.620 Did you know there's a university just for rice?

00:06:54.300 I don't know.

00:06:55.340 But Rice University, where the students are just, I assume, just various versions of rice.

00:07:01.940 But it's smart rice, because the rice came up with this idea of how to modify or make a, I don't know, I think it's a fake version of this perovskite. 0.85

00:07:12.700 Now, the perovskite is not only useful for making potentially much more efficient and reliable solar power, solar cells, but perovskite is also the name of the newest general for Russia and Ukraine.

00:07:30.520 And, oh, I have an update.

00:07:33.000 He's been replaced.

00:07:34.260 He's been replaced.

00:07:37.200 As you know, Assange made a deal.

00:07:40.460 And a lot of us said, hmm, huh, I feel like the story about Assange making this plea deal is maybe missing something.

00:07:51.400 I know it's the fog of war.

00:07:53.120 It's the first day.

00:07:53.860 But it really feels like there's some big variable that might be missing.

00:08:00.780 And we found out what that big variable is.

00:08:03.420 Kim.com tells us, and others do, too, that apparently WikiLeaks agreed to delete the DNC files.

00:08:13.040 So they had to delete the stuff that was real.

00:08:18.460 And that was apparently part of the plea deal.

00:08:20.860 But here's the good news.

00:08:24.860 Kim.com is hopefully reminding us that they're all still available at the Pirate Bay.

00:08:31.140 I don't know how legal it is to access the Pirate Bay.

00:08:35.340 But since it's been taken down from the WikiLeaks site, just know that if you ever really, really needed it, you could get it.

00:08:47.260 Kim.com doing us a solid.

00:08:50.860 How many of you have seen the now viral video of Tucker Carlson in Australia going off on a reporter who asked him a series of dumb questions in public?

00:09:04.380 Well, I'm not going to try to characterize it because it would ruin your enjoyment of watching it.

00:09:10.600 I'm just going to say, if you don't like the fake news, you're really going to like that video.

00:09:16.180 So you'll see it in my feed, or you could just Google or search on X for Tucker Carlson and the Australian reporter.

00:09:27.320 And you're going to have fun because he starts out tough and it just gets tougher.

00:09:32.820 And he just destroys her in public, just absolutely dismantles her. 1.00

00:09:39.960 And she just starts acting stupider and stupider. 1.00

00:09:43.140 And he just keeps laughing at her and destroying her. 1.00

00:09:45.740 And it's just great.

00:09:46.920 I recommend it.

00:09:47.740 So did I say that Tucker's in Australia, Australia, where did Assange go back to Australia?

00:10:01.040 Who is the kind of person you'd expect to be the first to interview Assange?

00:10:07.960 Hmm.

00:10:08.480 I would expect Tucker to be the first.

00:10:12.720 Maybe.

00:10:14.660 Well, as you know, there's a debate tonight.

00:10:18.580 And CNN has rolled down some technology, some anti-Trump technology.

00:10:25.220 They've got some voice suppression and microphone cancellation going on.

00:10:32.700 They're probably working hard to make the lighting worse for Trump than for Biden.

00:10:37.240 And it's funny that we don't trust anything about this, the debate.

00:10:42.000 We don't trust anything about it.

00:10:44.760 But that's what makes it fun.

00:10:47.560 So I will be watching it live.

00:10:50.180 I'm going to live stream.

00:10:51.840 A lot of people will be live streaming, I'm sure.

00:10:53.720 A lot of podcasters.

00:10:54.920 But I'll be live streaming, too.

00:10:56.740 And I will do it probably just for locals.

00:11:02.900 I think I'll just do it for locals.

00:11:04.460 Because the other outlets will be doing their thing.

00:11:09.600 But maybe.

00:11:11.140 Well, let me think.

00:11:12.880 See, the problem is if I live stream it on YouTube, YouTube might give me a strike for copyright infringement.

00:11:22.640 So I might have to.

00:11:23.940 I might.

00:11:24.680 We'll see.

00:11:25.500 I might stream it on X and Rumble and Locals.

00:11:28.540 And forget YouTube this time.

00:11:31.600 I think that's probably what I'll do.

00:11:35.000 All right.

00:11:37.620 Axios.

00:11:38.740 Apparently, when they reported about the 16 economists who say that Trump will destroy the economy.

00:11:46.520 16 economists.

00:11:47.720 They got to sign a letter.

00:11:49.540 Wow.

00:11:50.220 They couldn't give 51.

00:11:51.500 They can only get 16.

00:11:55.340 They should take some advice from the intelligence community. 0.98

00:11:58.560 They can give 51 people to sign any damn thing.

00:12:01.800 But here's something that people are saying that Axios left out of the reporting. 0.95

00:12:07.720 This is Fox News busting them.

00:12:10.720 Apparently, these are all donors to the Biden campaign.

00:12:14.440 They're all people who are just known, hardcore Democrat donors.

00:12:21.540 Don't you think that would be a little bit important to mention?

00:12:26.200 Now, it is the case that if they legitimately came to the opinion that Trump was the menace to the economy,

00:12:34.500 then it would make sense they would also be Biden supporters.

00:12:37.700 But I don't think that's what's happening.

00:12:41.260 And I think that Axios would have owed us a little bit extra clarification of who they were.

00:12:46.940 Were they a randomly picked group of people who are all over the political spectrum?

00:12:52.560 Or are they hardcore Democrats who are just going to say what Democrats say?

00:12:58.020 Because it's not much of a story if the story is 16 Democrats agree with Democrats.

00:13:03.480 Because that's really all it was.

00:13:08.900 No, you don't have to tell me that Rice University is well known.

00:13:16.920 There may be some people here who are having trouble with satire.

00:13:21.620 So, seek help.

00:13:25.520 All right.

00:13:26.300 ABC has a new fake news technique that I thought was so clever.

00:13:30.220 I'm going to call it the triple-click fake news.

00:13:34.400 Triple-click.

00:13:35.600 Now, you know the scrolling trick, right?

00:13:38.840 Where the news will say something completely fake or misleading in the first paragraph of a long article.

00:13:45.820 Because they know you're not going to scroll to the end.

00:13:49.120 Or a lot of people won't.

00:13:50.440 And in the end, they'll say,

00:13:51.900 and it should be mentioned that everything we said in the first paragraph is completely opposite and wrong and misleading.

00:13:56.660 Now, they don't say it in those words, but the words they do use are basically just that.

00:14:02.700 Yeah, everything in the first paragraph is a lie.

00:14:05.020 And now that we're out of the context, you can see that it's really the reverse of what we said.

00:14:09.480 Very common.

00:14:10.760 But now there's a new one.

00:14:12.200 The triple-click fake news.

00:14:14.760 So, it goes like this.

00:14:17.040 Trump claimed a retribution.

00:14:19.640 So, this is the top-level article on ABC.

00:14:23.180 So, it's ABC's own site.

00:14:24.840 It claims that Trump wanted retribution.

00:14:29.800 And it mentions that people like Liz Cheney are concerned that they would be the targets of retribution.

00:14:36.440 So, if you were going to read that by itself, what would you think that Trump had said he was going to do?

00:14:43.240 Wouldn't you think that Trump maybe have mentioned some people like Liz Cheney because she's worried?

00:14:50.220 Well, or maybe he said something that was close enough that it would make sense she'd be worried.

00:14:56.860 And so, the article linked to the backup story that backs up their claim that Trump had claimed he wanted some retribution.

00:15:07.400 So, I clicked on the story to see what exactly did he say that would make Liz Cheney afraid.

00:15:15.200 And then that story simply refers to yet another page, also on ABC News, that's the base story.

00:15:23.540 So, now I've gone down three different stories to the third story.

00:15:28.240 I've gone to the third story to find out what exactly did he say about retribution.

00:15:34.140 And when you get to the third one, it's not about Trump wants retribution against Liz Cheney or any individuals.

00:15:42.200 He wants retribution against the government.

00:15:46.360 He's saying, you know, the government was your enemy.

00:15:48.780 My retribution will be going in there and cleaning things up and making the country work.

00:15:54.780 And by the third time that they'd hidden that behind, well, if you click this link, you can find out more.

00:16:00.840 By the time they get to the top level of the hoax,

00:16:04.320 they're suggesting that he said something that would make Liz Cheney afraid.

00:16:08.020 It's a very good trick.

00:16:12.740 It's almost as good as the correction.

00:16:16.940 You know, you get 100 million clicks on the fake story and, you know, 1,000 clicks on the correction.

00:16:25.180 The AP has said this, that the Trump's claim that the 2020 election was rigged has been disproven.

00:16:36.160 Has it?

00:16:38.020 I feel like that would have been a big story if it had been disproven.

00:16:44.080 It seems like that would be a big headline.

00:16:46.400 Can you find me that story?

00:16:49.120 Can anybody find me the story in the news, any news, even the fake news,

00:16:55.240 that says that there was some kind of process that disproved the claim?

00:17:01.800 Of course not.

00:17:02.800 Nothing like that happened in the real world.

00:17:06.560 There is no way to disprove the claim.

00:17:08.960 You can only show that the claim was not accepted by a court, which is true. 1.00

00:17:17.400 There were no individual claims that a court has accepted or endorsed.

00:17:21.220 Now, in many cases, it's because they said they didn't have a standing in a variety of things, some technical reasons.

00:17:28.620 There's a locked door in Georgia that if it were unlocked, we could find out if those ballots were real or fake.

00:17:37.160 But they won't unlock it, even though the judge said they should.

00:17:40.960 And now the lawyers for that locked door are saying they'd like permission to destroy the ballots that they can't show you.

00:17:48.500 Now, I had speculated early on that that so-called locked room, by now, if there was anything illegal in there, it had been removed.

00:18:01.240 I think Tucker had mentioned, somebody said Tucker had mentioned there was like a two-hour window when the security cameras were down.

00:18:07.400 So I think it's already removed.

00:18:09.280 And I think that the reason the lawyers would ask for it to be destroyed, as opposed to just opening the door and say, why don't you take a look, you'll see they're all valid.

00:18:19.580 And then, you know, once you're happy, we'll destroy them.

00:18:22.560 Why would you do a legal process to do something that would be as easy as unlocking a door that the judge told you to unlock?

00:18:31.680 Why would you go through all that trouble?

00:18:33.540 Well, the most likely reason is that there's nothing in the room and the lawyers are going to act like they didn't know that.

00:18:41.380 And they're going to say, my client's asked us to get permission to get rid of the stuff they say is in the room.

00:18:46.420 So the lawyers will be in the clear because they will never have looked in the room.

00:18:51.000 They will be taking the word of their client that they need permission to destroy what they say is in the room.

00:18:57.480 So the lawyers won't be breaking any laws because they could just say, we don't know what's in the room.

00:19:02.300 We're just doing the work of our clients.

00:19:05.180 And I'm pretty sure there's nothing in the room.

00:19:09.940 Now, does that mean that election rigging has been disproven?

00:19:15.860 It's a lot closer to the opposite, that every indication is that it was rigged and that the cover-up is in full swing.

00:19:24.920 But I can't prove it.

00:19:27.040 But I'll tell you what I can't prove also.

00:19:29.500 I can't prove it was not rigged.

00:19:31.840 That's not even a thing.

00:19:34.020 And I was in a news article being mocked because some election official schooled me on the fact that our elections are fully auditable.

00:19:43.900 And therefore, we can now essentially prove that the election was fair.

00:19:49.580 Now, I got some questions for you.

00:20:41.020 Call ConnexOntario, 1-866-531-2600.

00:20:45.020 Why is it that the security software and systems for every highly secure business and facility has to continually update their software because they found vulnerabilities?

00:21:07.920 Why would they do that if it's so easy to secure a digital system?

00:21:14.460 Why is it that there's a major company that's being blackmailed right now by hackers who got control of their very important critical infrastructure?

00:21:23.780 Is it because they didn't know how to do cyber security?

00:21:27.680 Or could it be that if you're good enough at hacking, let's say a state actor, and you can get insiders, and you can get people to switch sims in different places, and you can put them to embed passwords in their code, that sort of thing?

00:21:43.020 Do you think you could catch that?

00:21:44.400 I don't.

00:21:45.400 I don't.

00:21:47.400 And here's another question.

00:21:49.340 Apparently, Texas is talking about a law to put some kind of numbering system on the ballots.

00:21:57.000 Do you know why?

00:21:58.620 Because if you don't do it, you can't audit the system.

00:22:02.040 Wait a minute.

00:22:03.440 Wait a minute.

00:22:03.800 They have to do a significant change in Texas to make it possible for the first time to audit a critical part of the voting system, like a really critical part.

00:22:14.860 Why would they be talking about improving something that's already fully auditable?

00:22:21.660 Why are they even having a conversation?

00:22:24.460 Is it because Texas likes to do things that don't need to be done?

00:22:29.420 Is that part of the Texas character?

00:22:31.080 Hey, we found some stuff that doesn't need to be done.

00:22:34.240 Let's put all our energy into doing it.

00:22:37.920 No. 0.94

00:22:39.000 You've been fucking lied to forever that our elections could be audited in a way that you would know that they're fair. 0.98

00:22:47.240 I don't even think they're doing signature verification in many cases. 0.98

00:22:53.280 That's not just not auditable.

00:22:56.880 That's clearly working in the other direction.

00:22:59.300 We're as far from a reliable, credible system as you could possibly get.

00:23:05.020 And even if the votes were right, which seems really unlikely in my personal opinion, just based on everything we see about everything, it seems very unlikely.

00:23:14.980 We do know that the intelligence people ran an op to give 51 people to lie to you about something that would have changed more votes than the margin of victory for Biden.

00:23:29.720 That stuff we know for sure.

00:23:32.060 That's not a guess.

00:23:32.980 And the only purpose for it was election interference.

00:23:38.200 There are no questions unanswered in that story.

00:23:41.820 We know every part of the story.

00:23:43.640 It's all transparent and it's public.

00:23:45.580 Well, the first amendment died in the Supreme Court.

00:23:55.220 So the Supreme Court ruled that they're not going to stop the government from interfering with social media.

00:24:06.280 So the government can lean on social media to get them to do what they want.

00:24:12.320 And apparently that's still legal.

00:24:14.320 So that would be the end of free speech.

00:24:16.660 No, I'm just kidding.

00:24:21.000 It's not the end of free speech.

00:24:24.380 You know, sometimes I speak in hyperbolic terms and I have to stop and say, oh, not everybody understands hyperbole.

00:24:32.840 It's not the end of free speech, people.

00:24:36.040 Can I just be clear about that?

00:24:37.500 It's not literally actually the end of free speech.

00:24:40.660 Because free speech ended a long time ago.

00:24:43.300 So you can't end something that's already gone.

00:24:46.660 Let's go to the whiteboard.

00:24:55.100 Here's our current system.

00:24:59.620 Let's see.

00:25:01.580 About right there.

00:25:07.160 So there was a time when the government was all about the rights and your rights were either taken away or granted by the government.

00:25:15.220 You know, you could say God granted you your rights or nature did.

00:25:18.960 But in effect, the government had to agree with it or you didn't really have it.

00:25:23.200 So that got outsourced.

00:25:25.840 So the government's not in the, you know, suppressing speech business, except indirectly.

00:25:31.240 So now what we have is a situation in which the government, but really just the Democrats, because the Republicans don't participate in this sort of stuff.

00:25:41.680 So the Democrats set the narrative.

00:25:44.140 For example, they might say, you know, everybody has to love transitioning children.

00:25:50.760 Or everybody has to love DEI or climate change.

00:25:57.160 Right.

00:25:57.680 That sort of thing.

00:25:58.740 So the narrative is set.

00:26:00.240 And then because we're a big free market, not really free market, but, you know, sort of country, the big businesses, they don't really have the freedom to violate the narrative.

00:26:15.320 Because if they did, there would be complaints from their stockholders.

00:26:20.300 The stockholders would say, the government told you what is right and correct and true.

00:26:25.780 Why are you saying the opposite?

00:26:27.220 I can't even do business with you.

00:26:29.820 And by the way, if you disagree with the government on the big stuff, when you need the government to do something for you, and all the big companies eventually do, you've got to have a rule or make a rule or suspend a rule or you've got to enforce something or not enforce something.

00:26:46.880 You've got to change some kind of regulation, some kind of code.

00:26:50.640 You're not going to get anything unless you're compatible with the narrative.

00:26:56.460 So big business, because they're responsible primarily by design, they're responsible to their stockholders.

00:27:06.800 And the stockholders will never be well served if they try to tell the truth, if it violates the narrative.

00:27:13.300 So you, if you work for a big business, and you could substitute any big organization, it's not necessarily just a profitable business.

00:27:24.380 It could be any large organization.

00:27:27.260 And pretty much every individual is working for or needs to work with or selling to or is a customer of or has an association with large organizations.

00:27:41.420 And you couldn't really operate as a modern person in the modern world without lots of associations with organizations of one type or another.

00:27:50.920 And they will cancel you.

00:27:54.300 They will cancel you.

00:27:56.100 Now, you might say to me, wow.

00:27:59.140 You know, when you say it that way, Scott, it does sound pretty bad.

00:28:01.980 And it sounds like all that happened to free speech is that when the government was not allowed to suppress it directly, they just used the free market to do it.

00:28:11.320 And the Supreme Court just upheld the government's ability to pressure, because it is pressure.

00:28:19.380 It's not just requesting.

00:28:20.920 When the government requests something, it's not just a request.

00:28:26.020 They have guns, right?

00:28:28.660 I mean, they don't use them unless they're going to put you in jail and you resist.

00:28:32.340 But they have guns.

00:28:33.340 They can make you do what you want, and you're probably going to want to do it anyway, just stay out of trouble, you know, stay under the radar.

00:28:43.300 But one of the things you might say to me is, Scott, at least we don't have that Chinese social credit system, am I right? 0.98

00:28:52.960 That would be pretty bad.

00:28:54.140 Imagine if the United States implemented, like the Chinese-style social credit, where every little thing you do gets added to the database of who you are, and, you know, it starts restricting your rights if you get to a certain level.

00:29:11.180 Well, let me give an alternative view, which is that the Chinese system might be better than our system. 0.95

00:29:19.800 Both are terrible, so I'm not supporting the Chinese way. 1.00

00:29:25.220 I'm just saying, if you think it's worse than our system, you're not paying attention.

00:29:30.600 Let me say why.

00:29:32.820 If you jaywalk in China, you violate a, let's say, a rule of traffic, maybe it gets caught on a camera, and then it hurts your social score.

00:29:44.980 But that's a real thing you did.

00:29:47.580 You actually broke a real law.

00:29:49.400 Now, again, I'm not supporting the Chinese system. 0.99

00:29:52.380 It's terrible.

00:29:55.060 But it seems to be based, or the intention is to base it on real things you did. 0.99

00:30:01.100 It's not based on making shit up. 0.97

00:30:03.960 I don't think. 0.95

00:30:05.760 Now, obviously, they're not going to talk out against the government there, so, you know, they don't have that going for them.

00:30:12.640 But we don't either.

00:30:13.700 You're allowed to say bad things about the government so long as they're not terribly important.

00:30:20.020 But if you say bad things about the government that matter, well, maybe somebody's going to whisper to your social media platform that, hmm, I really think you need to get rid of this one.

00:30:31.780 Because they, not for the things they said that we don't like.

00:30:36.380 No, no.

00:30:36.920 But we looked through the feed, and we found some things that look, you know, like they might violate your terms of service.

00:30:42.760 So, you know, even though we really hate the main thing that the person is saying, that's not why they're being canceled, because we have free speech.

00:30:50.820 Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

00:30:51.920 No, it was the thing down like a year ago they said.

00:30:55.220 You can't have that on your platform.

00:30:57.120 So, if I were you, I'd get rid of that.

00:31:00.980 So, no, we do not have any kind of free speech.

00:31:04.460 We haven't had free speech for a long time. 0.98

00:31:06.560 The only way you can say something even remotely honest and true and useful is if you've already been canceled and you don't give a fuck. 0.98

00:31:16.480 That's not many people. 0.98

00:31:18.100 I happen to be in that group.

00:31:20.120 So, I thought I'd tell you the truth.

00:31:24.140 Fiji Airways is on sale now.

00:31:52.700 All right.

00:31:54.540 So, we've got this Department of Homeland Security guy, Mayorkas, who's led in millions of people.

00:32:00.300 And he's bragging that they did something that will reduce immigration by 40%, which I believe is something similar to what Trump was doing, which means they could have done it all along.

00:32:14.180 And they knew it.

00:32:15.860 Of course they knew it.

00:32:16.980 Because all they did is take away the executive orders that were keeping the immigration low.

00:32:22.460 And they knew that they were doing that.

00:32:25.220 So, if you remove the only tool that we've figured out how to use so far, that reduces it, and then it goes up, that's got to be seen as intentional.

00:32:35.800 So, I would say that Mayorkas should be seen as a criminal and certainly a traitor to the country. 1.00

00:32:43.240 And I think that's obvious.

00:32:44.420 I don't know how that could be more obvious.

00:32:49.440 He is working full-time to give the country not what they want, but rather some other thing.

00:32:57.760 And it's certainly bad for us, you know, at the level that it's happening.

00:33:02.260 I like immigration, but at a lower level. 0.52

00:33:04.340 So, you've got this guy, head of the Department of Homeland Security.

00:33:09.720 And I guess there's an amendment that just passed the House to defund his office.

00:33:16.580 Now, I don't know if that has a chance of getting through the Senate.

00:33:20.060 It doesn't have any real chance of getting signed by the President, so it's more symbolic, I think.

00:33:25.780 But at least it's something.

00:33:27.360 Then you've got Garland, Attorney General Garland, who's in contempt of Congress for ignoring subpoenas or something like that.

00:33:37.480 So, he's the person or his group that wants to put, you know, Biden, Bannon in jail and Peter Navarro is already in jail for the same stuff.

00:33:48.420 But apparently, he's above the law.

00:33:54.140 Literally, he's just putting himself above the law.

00:33:57.360 Because his department won't prosecute.

00:34:00.600 And nobody else is.

00:34:03.140 And then you've got Biden himself, who's clearly part of a larger crime family situation.

00:34:08.220 I think that's well demonstrated enough that we can say it not humorously.

00:34:13.420 That Biden ran or he was the head person of a crime family.

00:34:19.380 I think that's well enough established that I can just say that we all can see that that's a fact.

00:34:25.340 So, we have the most criminal government that I've ever seen.

00:34:31.780 I've never seen anything like this, where we're fully aware of the crimes.

00:34:36.340 Is this unprecedented, where the most important people in the government are obviously criminals, like right in front of you?

00:34:47.220 Well, as Democrats would say, there's no evidence of that.

00:34:49.980 Others have asked this, too.

00:34:56.340 How are the 51 Intel people who obviously lied on the laptop story, the Hunter laptop story, how do they still have security clearance?

00:35:06.320 How do they still have jobs, some of them?

00:35:13.720 It's just the weirdest thing, that these crimes are being done right in front of us.

00:35:17.940 This literally was a coup.

00:35:20.200 There's no other way to put it.

00:35:22.000 I mean, maybe it wasn't illegal.

00:35:24.120 They may have found a way to do it legally.

00:35:25.760 But it's the most illegal thing you could ever do, whether or not it's technically illegal.

00:35:31.320 I don't know.

00:35:32.300 It should be.

00:35:32.760 So, I think this is one of those cases where we just hung too long until we got used to it.

00:35:42.340 How did we get used to the fact that the major characters in our government, people whose names we know, and they still appear on TV to talk,

00:35:52.240 have done the worst things that have ever happened to this country unambiguously?

00:35:56.080 There's not really any question about the facts.

00:36:00.120 Weird.

00:36:02.760 Well, Democrats continue to think that they can change reality by changing the definition of words.

00:36:10.720 So, here's what they call the laptop coup.

00:36:14.800 Now, you and I would say, well, if a bunch of intelligence people colluded, and the collusion is obvious in the letter,

00:36:22.000 they got together and did a thing together, and there's no way that they thought it was true, obviously.

00:36:27.980 Isn't that a traitorous, treasonous behavior?

00:36:35.100 Those are the words I'd put on it.

00:36:36.940 But do you know what Democrats would call that?

00:36:40.440 They would call it, oops, we really thought it looked like Russian disinformation.

00:36:46.140 So, they don't change any of the facts.

00:36:47.980 They'd just put different words on it and move on.

00:36:52.220 Ah, yeah, probably a big mistake.

00:36:54.220 No, it was a coup.

00:36:56.400 It changed the outcome of civilization intentionally.

00:37:01.680 It diverted the entire democratic process.

00:37:07.060 No, that wasn't just a mistake.

00:37:08.820 Anyway, and then, of course, they did the same thing with the Russia collusion hoax.

00:37:16.960 How are any of the people involved in the Russia collusion hoax still working?

00:37:22.180 How do they have jobs?

00:37:24.740 What's up with that?

00:37:26.840 These are the worst crimes against the American people.

00:37:29.980 I mean, they literally changed the, they essentially took away your entire republic right in front of you.

00:37:39.900 There's nothing like it that's left.

00:37:43.640 I guess things are just so weird that we just get used to it.

00:37:47.120 But then they can call the protests on January 6th an insurrection because to them, words are what matters.

00:37:54.020 Now, here's one of the things that I was curious about, that I'm going to go to the other side of the whiteboard to talk about, which is, how is it that Democrats keep falling for these obvious hoaxes?

00:38:07.760 And when I had a conversation with Michael Ian Black, he said something that triggered what I think is the answer.

00:38:15.760 How can they believe things that are so insanely obviously not true, you wouldn't even have to research them?

00:38:22.180 So, here's how.

00:38:33.900 Apparently, the main evidence that Democrats use to support their belief in hoaxes, and I'm not making this up, are the other hoaxes.

00:38:44.880 So, for example, why would you ever believe the fine people hoax?

00:38:52.180 Because even if you didn't do the research to look at the transcript, just on the surface, you should have said to yourself, okay, well, I don't think a sitting president just praised neo-Nazis.

00:39:03.200 You know, that, I mean, you wouldn't have to research that, would you?

00:39:08.140 That obviously didn't happen.

00:39:10.080 You don't even have to ask around.

00:39:12.000 But how would you believe that?

00:39:13.240 So, with Michael Ian Black, when I was talking to him, and when I showed him the debunk, you know, you could see that the president was claiming that Trump had praised the neo-Nazis, and then I showed that the Snopes site had debunked it as fake.

00:39:34.040 He responded that, but you have to see it in the larger context.

00:39:40.260 And I said, what?

00:39:42.780 What's the larger context?

00:39:44.620 He goes, well, remember when Trump came down the stairway, and he said that the Mexican immigration was bringing in rapists and murderers, and they weren't sending their best people?

00:39:56.260 And I said, wait a minute, wait a minute, you can't support your belief in a hoax by referring to another hoax.

00:40:05.160 And then he would say, that's not a hoax.

00:40:08.760 And I would say, well, I didn't say this, but, you know, I wish I had.

00:40:15.400 What part of what Trump said was racist when he talked about too many criminals coming in?

00:40:20.460 Because do you think that he would have had a different opinion if they were Canadians?

00:40:28.060 If we had people streaming across the border from Canada, taking American jobs, and they all looked exactly like Trump, 0.94

00:40:35.780 do you think he'd say, whoa, whoa, that's good, they look like me?

00:40:40.900 Nobody believes that.

00:40:43.860 Has Trump ever said, I'm really against crime? 0.72

00:40:46.780 Well, I mean, except when white people do it. 0.75

00:40:50.460 No, nobody says that, nobody thinks that.

00:40:53.220 It's not even a thing.

00:40:54.320 I've never met a single person who would have the opinion that you should open up the border to 25 million Canadians.

00:41:01.960 Well, I mean, they're white, so why not? 0.99

00:41:04.520 No, nobody has that opinion.

00:41:06.920 Trump is a nationalist.

00:41:10.420 United States is his frame of reference.

00:41:13.960 No, when he says too many criminals are coming in, it's hyperbole, first of all.

00:41:17.620 But there's too many, you know, more than zero is too many, a lot of people would reasonably say, if it's crime.

00:41:26.440 So, literally a hoax.

00:41:30.180 But why would you believe, in the first place, that Trump was talking about some kind of racial thing when there was no mention of any racial anything?

00:41:39.320 Why would you believe that?

00:41:40.280 Well, because you also believed the Central Five hoax.

00:41:45.680 So, he had that sort of in his reputation coming forward.

00:41:49.320 Now, if you're watching this and you're a Democrat, you're saying, well, wait a minute, what a hoax?

00:41:54.020 That actually happened. 0.99

00:41:56.480 Trump actually said that those five innocent people should be executed because they're black. 0.99

00:42:01.460 No, he didn't. 0.99

00:42:02.440 Nothing like that happened.

00:42:05.200 Nothing like that happened.

00:42:06.840 Not in the real world.

00:42:08.420 No. 0.98

00:42:09.020 There was an accusation against five young black people that they were part of some mass horrible rape.

00:42:16.440 He did, right after that, and probably, I assume, triggered by that event, ran a full-page ad saying that, you know, 0.97

00:42:25.380 there are too many monsters and criminals running around unchecked, and that we should institute the death penalty for the worst of them.

00:42:34.740 Never mentioned the specific crime.

00:42:37.960 He just used it, probably was triggered by it, but it really wasn't even about those five people.

00:42:44.020 And there's also some question about how innocent they really were, but that's a separate question.

00:42:49.660 The point is, even if he was wrong, he wasn't talking about them.

00:42:55.380 It was a general statement that wasn't about those five people.

00:42:59.260 It was just way too much crime in his opinion.

00:43:01.740 So, if you believe the Central Park Five hoax, then you are already primed to believe the too many rapists and criminals coming across the border hoax.

00:43:16.440 If you believe those two, you are primed to think the fine people hoax was real.

00:43:21.740 And then, by the time he referred to some shithole countries, you said, he must be talking racially.

00:43:31.420 Why?

00:43:32.360 Not because he ever mentioned race, because he didn't.

00:43:35.780 And not because race was implied, because it wasn't.

00:43:39.400 He was talking about the economic, educational situation in other countries.

00:43:47.880 And if they're coming in for more industrialized, high education countries, we're probably getting people who will more immediately impact our economy in a positive way.

00:43:57.360 So, then by the time you get to, let's see.

00:44:04.700 All right. 0.99

00:44:05.440 So, then, how did anybody ever believe that Trump once said to a general that the people joining the military, the ones that died, were suckers and losers? 0.97

00:44:18.740 Now, if you heard that a president said that to a general, you would have said, that didn't happen. 0.94

00:44:27.900 Why would anybody believe that it was real?

00:44:30.240 That's like a president saying that neo-Nazis are fine people.

00:44:34.180 You shouldn't need to dig down and do research.

00:44:37.760 That's obviously not true.

00:44:38.920 It couldn't be more obvious that he would never say that to a general.

00:44:46.500 I think that's the most obvious hoax in the world.

00:44:49.680 But why would anybody believe it?

00:44:52.500 Well, it's because they also believed the framing of the media, I'd call it a hoax, that when he made the joke about McCain, in which he said, I like people who don't get caught, that's literally a Chris Rock joke.

00:45:07.800 And it didn't really have anything to do with any people in the military.

00:45:12.520 He was literally just mocking one guy about one thing, and a joke popped into his mind, and he popped it out.

00:45:20.080 The worst thing he did was say something insensitive about McCain. 0.73

00:45:26.300 But because the media said, well, he must not like the people in the military, because look how he's treating them, that primes you to believe the other one that was obviously ridiculous on the surface.

00:45:38.780 How do you get somebody to believe that he once suggested drinking bleach?

00:45:43.580 Again, you don't need to do your research to know that that didn't happen.

00:45:48.540 But if you say Scott Scott, okay, I agree he didn't say bleach, that word, but he said disinfectant.

00:45:54.400 And, you know, that's the same thing.

00:45:56.560 Yes, it would be the same thing, except it didn't happen.

00:46:02.860 The disinfectant he talked about was light.

00:46:05.220 If you see it in context, it was obviously always light.

00:46:08.200 He never changed the topic.

00:46:09.380 But he did use the word disinfectant once in the context of light, which is how others used it as well.

00:46:15.560 Now, why would you believe that?

00:46:17.540 Well, maybe you believed it, because they told you that he once asked about using a nuclear weapon to stop a hurricane.

00:46:25.200 If you said, if he's going to talk about nuking a hurricane, he might say, drink some bleach.

00:46:31.240 Now, it took me a long time to piece this together, that all of their hoaxes are, they know that the hoax isn't exactly on point.

00:46:44.200 But they think it's probably close enough because of the other hoaxes, they believe.

00:46:50.960 So they've created a hoax architecture where you think you can take out one of the pillars and it will all fall down.

00:46:58.400 But they're all supported by the other hoaxes.

00:47:01.540 So every time you debunk one, they say, as Michael Ian Black did, some version of this.

00:47:09.240 You have to see it in the larger context.

00:47:11.800 And the larger context is always the other hoaxes.

00:47:17.400 And that's the world you live in.

00:47:20.080 Now, when I say that the government is a hoaxocracy, not a republic, I mean that literally.

00:47:26.040 The main things we believe about the world and the government are literally hoaxes.

00:47:32.200 So we have an entire civilization built on known hoaxes.

00:47:35.740 Speaking of sketchy things, Vivek says that he has not been asked to be vice president.

00:47:44.500 There was a hint that Trump had flown into his town or something.

00:47:48.640 So they thought maybe he had been asked.

00:47:52.200 But he says he had not been asked.

00:47:53.940 Now, let me just have some fun with this.

00:48:01.500 Vivek is not a liar.

00:48:03.620 And so when he says, I have not been asked, I think that's literally true.

00:48:10.160 Here's what's left out, which makes it fun.

00:48:14.760 I bet he hasn't asked anybody.

00:48:16.000 He said he picked.

00:48:19.720 He didn't say he asked anybody.

00:48:23.380 So don't conflate I haven't been asked with it's not going to be me.

00:48:29.220 Those are not the same.

00:48:31.360 And notice how carefully Vivek picks his words.

00:48:34.820 Now, I think it won't be him.

00:48:36.640 I think he won't be the choice.

00:48:38.680 But he'd be a great choice.

00:48:39.900 But I think it won't be him because I think he'd have more value somewhere else in the government if he chooses.

00:48:47.960 But I think I think that the candidates and also Trump are coordinating, let's say, a show.

00:48:56.900 So I think they're all aware they're putting on a good show of, hey, which vice president do you think he's going to pick?

00:49:04.420 And, you know, who is it going to be?

00:49:05.860 And I've got a hint that it might be Vivek.

00:49:08.380 But Vivek denied it.

00:49:09.500 But is it a real denial or is it really just a denial that he was asked?

00:49:13.440 Because that's kind of specific.

00:49:16.300 I just love this.

00:49:18.920 Nobody but Trump can do this.

00:49:22.160 You are so going to miss this after Trump.

00:49:26.220 I love the fact that he's treating it like it's a TV show and it's so well scripted.

00:49:31.860 It's like a reality TV show where there's a little bit of non-reality that gives it a structure.

00:49:37.540 The non-reality is I think they all know to keep the suspense.

00:49:41.760 And that is part of the show.

00:49:43.340 It's kind of brilliant.

00:49:44.860 I just love every part of it.

00:49:46.560 So I saw that Elise Stefanik was added to the short list, at least by one publication.

00:49:53.280 So that would mean the speculation is down to Vivek, J.D. Vance, Senator Tim Scott, Doug Burgum, Elise Stefanik, and Marco Rubio.

00:50:06.700 So that's what they're calling the short list.

00:50:09.000 Does that mean that he will pick somebody on the short list?

00:50:11.980 It does not.

00:50:14.460 It does not.

00:50:15.540 This is the media short list.

00:50:17.760 How many people saw Mike Pence on the short list?

00:50:21.180 I didn't.

00:50:22.460 I don't think the media saw that one coming.

00:50:25.300 So I don't think there's any way.

00:50:27.240 I don't think there's any way to guess a VP.

00:50:30.260 But I'm going to still agree with Simon Atiba, who just for fun, he thinks Doug Burgum might be the one.

00:50:36.940 And I say Doug Burgum is boring enough, and yet substantial, he might be the one.

00:50:44.840 So just for fun, I'm going to say Doug Burgum.

00:50:47.220 But I tell you in advance, my odds of getting this right are very low.

00:50:51.640 No better than 10%.

00:50:53.260 It would just be luck if I did.

00:50:54.760 Nobody can guess vice president.

00:50:57.960 All right, the 538 polling site.

00:51:01.940 They used to be Dayton A Silver site, but I guess he sold it.

00:51:05.180 I think ABC owns it now.

00:51:07.780 And one of the things they do is they aggregate a bunch of polls about the presidential election, so you can see the average.

00:51:15.600 And according to them, it's about a tie.

00:51:18.460 If you look at the average of polls, it's roughly a tie between Biden and Trump.

00:51:22.740 Now, does that agree with the polling you've been seeing?

00:51:25.880 It doesn't agree with the polling I've been seeing.

00:51:28.020 So how can this big polling site come up with an average of polls that shows it's going to be a tie?

00:51:38.420 How is that possible?

00:51:39.440 Well, it's not every poll.

00:51:43.480 Apparently, they tossed out Rasmussen because they said it didn't meet their standards.

00:51:50.820 Rasmussen also consistently shows that Trump is ahead.

00:51:57.400 Is that a coincidence?

00:51:58.480 Do you think that they looked at the other polls and said, you know, based on the quality of this poll, I think I'll leave it out?

00:52:05.640 Or do you think maybe they only did that for right-leaning polls that have not been unfriendly to Trump?

00:52:13.920 So here's something, if I teach you just one thing about data, if you're doing something like averaging together polls, the way you get the result you want is by you, in your own opinion, subjectively deciding which polls are good enough to be in and which ones are not good enough to be in.

00:52:36.160 So it's not about the polls.

00:52:37.680 It's about the person making the poll.

00:52:39.820 And they will make it kind of do what they want.

00:52:42.180 Does that sound familiar?

00:52:44.760 It's an average of polls.

00:52:47.400 But they also get to decide which ones are in the average.

00:52:51.120 What's that remind you of?

00:52:54.180 Something else.

00:52:57.660 Climate models.

00:53:00.020 A climate model.

00:53:02.440 The people who put together the average of the climate models, just like this, they get to decide which models are good enough.

00:53:09.580 Which means you've never seen anything like climate models.

00:53:15.900 You've seen the opinion of the people who compile them.

00:53:19.480 That's it.

00:53:19.980 To imagine you're seeing science is actually really naive because it's not even trying to be science.

00:53:27.720 Science doesn't predict the future in 80 years.

00:53:31.340 That's not science.

00:53:32.220 That's some kind of speculation that might be informed by data or science.

00:53:37.620 But it's not science.

00:53:39.620 Yeah.

00:53:40.180 It's the person picking what's in and what's out.

00:53:42.340 And then beyond that, they also pick which variables to emphasize.

00:53:47.440 And that's why there are different models.

00:53:49.400 So, yeah.

00:53:50.860 The modeling is so transparently fake that it's laughable that anybody was ever convinced by it.

00:54:00.040 Meanwhile, Nate Silver, the actual Nate Silver, who is credible, in my opinion, not right every time, but credible.

00:54:07.100 He says there's a 66% chance of Trump winning, so two and a three chance that Trump is going to win the election.

00:54:16.620 And I like that way to express it.

00:54:19.860 When you say here's the average of the polls, if you show the average of the polls and it shows one person is likely to win and then they don't, you start thinking the polls were wrong.

00:54:34.640 Not necessarily.

00:54:35.700 But the way Nate Silver goes about it is he says there's a 66% chance of winning, which is a different frame.

00:54:44.780 So if he says there's a two-thirds chance of Trump winning, but then Biden wins, is he wrong?

00:54:53.060 Here's the question.

00:54:54.700 If Nate Silver says there's a two out of three chance that Trump will win, and then he doesn't, was he wrong?

00:55:05.080 No.

00:55:06.700 He wasn't wrong. 0.97

00:55:08.140 He said there was a two and a three chance.

00:55:10.360 Now, he might have been wrong, but not because Biden won.

00:55:13.840 Biden winning doesn't say anything about whether he was right or wrong, because that was one of the outcomes he said was at least a one-third possibility.

00:55:21.240 So if a one-third possibility comes through, nobody's really surprised, right?

00:55:27.840 So that's a better way to frame it.

00:55:33.660 Hide your mistakes, but it's also a more honest way.

00:55:36.000 So the Biden campaign, as you've all noted, and I think even the Democrats have noted, is maybe the worst presidential campaign in history.

00:56:02.300 Now, much of that is the candidate himself.

00:56:05.560 He's not fully functional, so there's just so much you can do with him.

00:56:08.840 But I would say it's really obvious at this point that the campaign is incompetent.

00:56:14.480 And there are plenty of Democrats who are saying the same thing.

00:56:18.360 It's just really obviously incompetent.

00:56:20.440 And they've got a new ad that's out, and it's not even worth talking about.

00:56:24.780 It looks like a high school project.

00:56:26.220 So compare the political ads from Trump, which are sometimes hilarious and sometimes just have soaring feel and music and imagery, like, we're back, America.

00:56:42.960 They're really well done.

00:56:44.380 And I think I'll probably say it every day until the election.

00:56:49.100 The level of improvement in the Trump campaign compared to other prior runs is so obvious.

00:56:57.320 I would love, love, love, love to know the inside story of who is, let's say, most influential advisors are.

00:57:05.920 Because, remember, Trump was the candidate in the other cases, too.

00:57:12.500 And it's his job to pick the best advice.

00:57:15.740 You know, he may have had limited options the first two times.

00:57:19.080 He seems to have better options now.

00:57:21.000 So he seems to be getting great advice, but also great execution.

00:57:26.400 I think Laura Trump is a superstar.

00:57:28.980 I think whoever does his videos is better than anything I've ever seen in the political realm.

00:57:33.460 His speeches are perfect, you know, for what they're trying to do and his messaging.

00:57:40.260 He's calmed down his messaging.

00:57:42.740 Here's what I think is funny.

00:57:45.800 The Democrats have this strategy of trying to get under Trump's skin so that he will exhibit behavior that people will say,

00:57:54.300 well, there's chaos.

00:57:55.540 He's unstable.

00:57:56.580 He's a dictator.

00:57:57.320 Look at that chaos.

00:57:58.960 Do you know why they think that's a good strategy? 0.99

00:58:01.100 Why do they think it's a good strategy to get under Trump's skin and make him act like a crazy man? 0.98

00:58:09.420 There's one reason. 0.73

00:58:12.360 They brainwash themselves into thinking he's a chaos guy, which he never was even close to it.

00:58:20.180 They brainwash themselves to believe that he can't control his presentation based on the situation.

00:58:28.360 We've watched him for 70 years crafting his presentation to the situation perfectly, consistently, for 70 years.

00:58:44.180 He meets the opportunity with the right presentation.

00:58:48.100 If you put him in a situation where the fake news is just giving him the business, he knows that fighting back, you know, giving that some energy, that's going to look good.

00:58:59.080 It's going to be popular with the base, and it will be based on reality.

00:59:04.480 So he's going to fight back.

00:59:06.540 You put him behind the scenes, and you have a bunch of people who aren't doing what he tells them to do, and then you hear that he went off on them, and he yelled at them like he just went off on them.

00:59:19.040 And that's what we want him to do. 0.98

00:59:22.340 I want my president, if he tells somebody to do something, and they just won't do it, or they, oh, I got problems, I want him to just fucking go off on them. 0.66

00:59:32.700 I don't want him to say, well, you've got good reasons.

00:59:35.060 I guess we'll have to not do that.

00:59:36.840 No.

00:59:37.740 He needs to fire them or yell at them, scare them, motivate them, whatever it takes.

00:59:45.540 He just needs to get it done.

00:59:46.940 And I've never seen anybody who was better at changing his presentation for the situation, right?

00:59:53.640 You know, there's no time when he invited a world leader to the White House, and the cameras are going, and then he went off on the world leader.

01:00:03.380 Ever?

01:00:04.340 Never.

01:00:05.060 Never, because that wouldn't be smart.

01:00:07.860 There's not one situation, which anybody's even heard of that's real, that would suggest he would just go crazy.

01:00:16.940 But you know who might believe he would?

01:00:21.000 Somebody who believed he staged an insurrection.

01:00:24.760 They might believe he would do something crazy, but he didn't.

01:00:28.960 That's just Democrat propaganda.

01:00:31.240 Somebody who believes that he tried to strangle the driver of his own car on January 6th would think he might be unstable.

01:00:39.920 But that didn't actually happen.

01:00:43.880 That was fake news, according to the driver.

01:00:48.540 So you could go right down the line.

01:00:50.760 Did he stand in front of the public and say that the neo-Nazis were fine people?

01:00:56.220 No, that was a hoax.

01:00:58.000 But the Democrats believe it.

01:00:59.360 So just hold this in your mind how funny this is.

01:01:03.700 The entire Democrat debate strategy from his DEI staff is that he's got to treat Trump as if all of their propaganda were true.

01:01:17.760 But it's not.

01:01:18.940 It's just the best trap in the world.

01:01:25.580 All Trump has to do is just show up and be Trump.

01:01:29.500 He doesn't even have to adjust because there was never any truth to the claims that he's crazy and chaotic and can't control himself in every given situation.

01:01:38.780 There's no evidence of that over 70 years.

01:01:41.440 So I think this is the funniest thing ever, that they fell for their own hoaxes.

01:01:49.140 And falling for their own hoaxes allowed them to come up with a strategy that can't possibly work.

01:01:57.380 The odds of that working would require him to turn into a different person before it happened.

01:02:05.960 And since when has Trump ever turned into a different person?

01:02:09.780 Never.

01:02:10.980 Never.

01:02:12.440 He's always Trump.

01:02:13.560 That's the one thing you can be sure of.

01:02:15.640 So that's hilarious.

01:02:17.100 Anyway, their new ad looks like a high school project.

01:02:20.940 And I said that, you know, it's obviously a massive incompetence problem.

01:02:25.660 We can all see it.

01:02:26.600 Even the Democrats see the incompetence in the campaign.

01:02:30.140 And it's somewhat obvious that DEI is the problem.

01:02:34.720 Would you say that's a fair statement?

01:02:36.360 I'll give you some details.

01:02:37.380 But you'd agree with that, that the Biden campaign is being destroyed by the very thing they tell us is good for the country.

01:02:46.500 More DEI. 0.93

01:02:47.460 Clearly, his campaign is a DEI-driven campaign because the David Axelrods and the people who know what the fuck they're doing are totally frozen out. 0.99

01:02:58.120 Sorry, old white guy. 0.99

01:02:59.860 We got a young black guy who's really nailing it. 0.98

01:03:02.000 So, am I saying something bad about black people?

01:03:08.220 No, absolutely not.

01:03:10.140 I wouldn't do that.

01:03:11.000 And there's nothing in this story that would suggest that.

01:03:14.980 Because here's the test.

01:03:18.320 If DEI was only about promoting redheads, you know, white people, that's about as white as you can get if you're a redhead. 0.99

01:03:25.860 If DEI were only about, you know, making sure you had good representation of redheads, it would destroy the system because there are not enough redheads. 1.00

01:03:38.380 But everybody would need one, because if they couldn't prove they didn't have a redhead, then they'd have to answer to their bosses. 1.00

01:03:46.540 Their bosses have to support the narrative from the Democrats.

01:03:50.600 So if the Democrats say you have to do this redheaded hiring stuff, we're not going to accept that there weren't enough of them. 1.00

01:03:58.000 You're going to have to hire redheads that can't do the job and hope for the best. 1.00

01:04:02.300 So if you could replace the people in the story with redheads, such as they're sending too many redheads across the border, and some of them have criminal backgrounds, then you know it wasn't racist.

01:04:18.460 Let's call it the redhead test. 1.00

01:04:20.060 The redhead test is if you switch out the black people in the story or the LGBTQ or the women in the story, the Hispanics in the story, whoever is your diversity target, if you switch them out and just replace it with a redhead, does it look exactly the same? 0.57

01:04:39.400 And it would.

01:04:40.700 DEI would look exactly the same.

01:04:43.320 It's a supply and demand problem on top of human motivation to not be fired. 0.97

01:04:48.400 So you're going to hire the redhead, no matter what their qualifications are, and you're going to put them in charge of the engine development on your fucking Boeing airplane, and then it's going to fall out of the sky. 1.00

01:05:01.220 By the way, I don't think that's the problem with Boeing. 0.98

01:05:03.820 I'm just using them as an example.

01:05:05.720 There's no indication that there's any DEI problem at Boeing.

01:05:08.860 There is an indication that if they continue pursuing DEI, which they say they are, it's guaranteed to make a plane fall out of the sky.

01:05:21.260 Guaranteed.

01:05:22.100 The only thing we don't know, if any of that's happened yet, that would be unfair to say.

01:05:26.960 But it's guaranteed, because the system design is such that it can only go in one direction.

01:05:31.780 All right, let's do a little survey of what the Biden campaign is telling us is true and important to the election.

01:05:43.540 You've got the fine people hoax, the drinking bleach hoax, the suckers and liars hoax, the January 6th insurrection hoax.

01:05:49.380 You've got two impeachment show trials.

01:05:51.240 You've got the immigration bill hoax, you know, the one where they say, if only Trump had not killed our immigration bill, we'd have a closed border.

01:05:59.820 No, that's just the talking point.

01:06:02.940 Trump didn't kill it.

01:06:04.420 You ended his executive orders.

01:06:07.560 Trump didn't need that law to close the border-ish.

01:06:11.040 So you don't need it either.

01:06:12.540 It's hoax.

01:06:14.500 There's the inflation is down, but really, that's just how you carve the numbers.

01:06:19.000 There's the jobs are better under Biden, but not really.

01:06:22.220 It's because he's counting the pandemic like it was a normal year.

01:06:25.480 There's the Biden is, yeah, he might look a little unsteady in public, 1.00

01:06:28.860 but behind closed doors, he's a genius, which is fucking stupid, 1.00

01:06:32.580 and you're just insulting my intelligence to imagine that he's all okay behind closed doors. 1.00

01:06:38.300 That's not happening. 0.97

01:06:40.720 He's saying things that are ridiculous, like Trump is going to put your democracy at risk 0.95

01:06:46.200 when he's been law-fared, tried to keep him off the ballot, tried to put him in jail, 0.97

01:06:52.180 and may or may not have rigged an election.

01:06:54.300 They say that he thinks he wants to be dictated for a day,

01:06:57.680 which is just pretending they don't understand how language works or the context of it.

01:07:02.360 They say he's the chaos candidate, although there's no evidence whatsoever

01:07:06.320 that that's ever happened or anything like it. 1.00

01:07:08.760 They say he might fire Rachel Maddow and put her in a camp, which is fucking retarded. 1.00

01:07:13.400 They think that white supremacists are forming an army up in the hills, 1.00

01:07:16.900 but nobody can find one.

01:07:18.420 They think the militaries may have a little problem, but they couldn't find any in there. 0.99

01:07:22.060 They say no one is above the law while they're law-faring the fucking people's pants off. 0.98

01:07:27.260 They say Ukraine is about protecting the democracy from Putin, which is a transparent lie. 1.00

01:07:32.760 We know that Hunter's laptop was not exactly real, you fucking assholes. 1.00

01:07:36.580 We know that the fake impeachments are bullshit, and so is those show trials. 1.00

01:07:41.520 And we know that they've weaponized the Department of Justice. 0.98

01:07:47.460 So what do Biden's lawfare dogs tell us today?

01:07:51.300 Okay.

01:07:52.880 They tell us that if you don't agree with accepting the election before you see the results,

01:08:00.840 if you don't agree in advance that it's fair, no matter what it looks like,

01:08:06.660 even if the outcome was, hey, Biden got 99% of the votes,

01:08:12.200 even in that condition, the Democrats are telling you that complaining would be inappropriate,

01:08:18.300 no matter how obvious the rigging of the election.

01:08:24.760 Now, I don't know if the election was rigged.

01:08:26.980 I don't have any proof of that.

01:08:29.360 I'm just telling you, it sure looked like it was rigged, and that a reasonable person could say,

01:08:34.760 you know, there's a lot of unstandard, nonstandard things happening here.

01:08:39.480 At the very least, the 51-people laptop thing affected the elections.

01:08:45.000 Certainly, you know, Zuckerberg money affected it.

01:08:47.720 Certainly, some sketchiness with the mail-in ballots affected it.

01:08:52.040 Certainly, the not checking signatures probably had a little effect.

01:08:56.720 But the law dogs say that no matter how obvious it is, that you should go to jail, basically.

01:09:05.820 That's me paraphrasing.

01:09:07.740 You should be punished in some way if you believe that an obviously rigged election is obviously rigged,

01:09:14.420 and you say it out loud because you're free speech.

01:09:17.440 They're trying to make sure that free speech is not even tempting.

01:09:21.140 Don't even try your free speech.

01:09:22.960 Because if you say it obviously looks rigged, it doesn't matter if it does obviously look rigged.

01:09:29.260 What's important is you said it.

01:09:31.260 Can't say it.

01:09:35.460 And so apparently, the lawyers against Trump are using the fact that he once said he wouldn't accept the results automatically

01:09:43.860 as evidence that he planned an insurrection if he didn't win.

01:09:48.620 Are those the same?

01:09:49.840 Saying that you won't automatically accept an election without knowing what it looks like?

01:09:55.960 Is that the same as saying you planned an insurrection? 1.00

01:09:58.460 No, you fucking idiots. 1.00

01:09:59.760 That's not even close. 1.00

01:10:01.700 But they're going to watch this debate to get more lawfare, that apparently they are,

01:10:05.660 to watch more, to get more lawfare zingers against them.

01:10:09.720 Because we live in a fair country in which nobody's above the law.

01:10:15.080 Anyway, here's some things that voters in America are being told.

01:10:25.700 Number one, our elections are secure, and there's no evidence of any rigging at a national level.

01:10:33.020 You know, nothing that would change the outcome.

01:10:35.100 So we're told the elections are secure.

01:10:36.640 And that we know that, the way we can know that, is because our elections are fully auditable.

01:10:44.560 So you can be quite sure, because they're fully auditable.

01:10:48.080 So that's what they tell us.

01:10:49.540 They also tell us that we need to make changes to our system so that it can be audited.

01:10:55.840 It's already fully auditable.

01:10:59.220 That's how we know they're secure.

01:11:01.260 But we've got to make some really big changes in lots of states in lots of different ways.

01:11:06.480 Because it's not secure.

01:11:10.240 It's totally secure.

01:11:13.120 But we've got some really big changes we've better make to make it secure.

01:11:18.200 While it's already secure.

01:11:19.480 They're telling us that right in front of us.

01:11:27.960 Now, there's no such thing as a secure election.

01:11:31.640 There's only such a thing as you got a result and people accepted it or they didn't.

01:11:36.940 There is no way to know if a state actor that is capable of hacking the Iranian nuclear program,

01:11:44.760 as one example, or the Chinese hackers who are allegedly already inside our most secure infrastructure

01:11:53.500 in the United States, according to our own experts.

01:11:57.960 How in the world would you know if they co-opted an insider and covered their tracks?

01:12:04.160 Of course you wouldn't. 1.00

01:12:06.240 But the idiot Democrats, who are just a hoaxocracy, you know, running the country, 1.00

01:12:12.320 have decided that they can tell you that it's secure while also telling you at the same time 1.00

01:12:18.540 they have to make some big changes because it's not secure.

01:12:23.920 Okay. 0.70

01:12:29.360 And then my favorite ridiculous story. 0.71

01:12:34.280 Joel Pollack is writing about this in Breitbart. 0.80

01:12:36.240 There's a billionaire Hamas official that said, although Gaza is destroyed,

01:12:43.900 that's not all bad news because it's the first step toward liberation.

01:12:50.140 How do you deal with an enemy who kind of likes death and thinks that a noble death is your best situation

01:12:58.580 because then you get, you know, get your virgins and you get your paradise and stuff.

01:13:02.420 It's the weirdest situation where they're glad that they're being killed

01:13:08.300 because they're sure that feels like winning.

01:13:12.600 I don't feel like it's even unethical to kill somebody who thinks it's better,

01:13:16.360 they're better off.

01:13:18.420 It's sort of a gray area.

01:13:20.220 Wait, explain this again.

01:13:22.140 You believe that life is better after death.

01:13:25.000 Oh, yes.

01:13:26.460 The whole deal is we're playing for the afterlife.

01:13:29.060 That's the big game.

01:13:30.600 You know, this life stuff is important, but, you know, afterlife is permanent.

01:13:35.040 So that's the big game. 0.98

01:13:37.100 So if I killed you while you were in the service or trying to, you know, 0.99

01:13:43.040 chase something for your religion or any other reason, 1.00

01:13:46.740 you would have the best possible outcome.

01:13:50.660 Yes, yes, I would.

01:13:51.520 I mean, I wouldn't be helpful here on earth anymore,

01:13:53.980 but it would be the best outcome for me.

01:13:56.160 I'd be living with God and it'd be great. 0.68

01:14:00.560 I'm not so sure it's unethical to kill that person.

01:14:08.160 I don't know.

01:14:09.540 It's a little bit of a gray area.

01:14:11.340 Giving somebody what they want more than anything in the world,

01:14:16.200 an honorable death,

01:14:18.080 it's hard to feel bad about that.

01:14:22.060 Now you might say, but Scott, but Scott,

01:14:24.260 those are the people fighting.

01:14:26.240 Is it?

01:14:27.820 Is it just the fighters?

01:14:30.100 If you took the 10-year-olds

01:14:32.320 who have been through their brainwashing

01:14:34.780 and you just separated them,

01:14:36.660 say, all right, your parents aren't watching.

01:14:38.940 You're 10 years old.

01:14:41.100 You know, what do you think about dying as a martyr?

01:14:43.340 Oh, good stuff. 1.00

01:14:44.980 I cannot wait to die. 1.00

01:14:47.280 I am so looking forward to dying as a martyr. 0.99

01:14:50.140 I can't even wait. 0.95

01:14:51.880 And you talk to mom.

01:14:53.280 You say, did you do this?

01:14:55.200 Well, I mean, I didn't do it.

01:14:57.060 The schools did it.

01:14:57.960 But, you know, I agree with it.

01:15:00.080 What?

01:15:01.940 You agree with it?

01:15:03.740 So even you're okay with your child dying?

01:15:07.740 Yeah.

01:15:08.040 I mean, if it's a,

01:15:09.760 if he's doing the right stuff,

01:15:11.020 he goes to heaven.

01:15:12.440 Good stuff.

01:15:13.140 I don't know.

01:15:16.460 Now, obviously, the people from Gaza 0.82

01:15:19.480 are not of one mind.

01:15:22.120 And so I'm, you know,

01:15:22.940 it's a parody of an imaginary person.

01:15:26.180 So don't assume that they're all like that

01:15:28.020 or that they all feel the same way.

01:15:30.180 But you're fighting a group

01:15:32.200 that's presenting itself as the unified thing.

01:15:35.680 And that unified thing seems to want to die.

01:15:40.020 Literally.

01:15:40.460 So I'm going to say it again.

01:15:46.300 It's a tragedy when, you know,

01:15:48.180 anybody's being killed.

01:15:49.700 So as a human being,

01:15:51.240 I see it as a tragedy.

01:15:54.580 But if you can look at it politically,

01:15:57.160 it's hard to feel sorry

01:15:59.580 for a group of people who prefers death.

01:16:02.460 You know, in the context of fighting

01:16:04.720 for something better.

01:16:06.560 And it's hard to fault somebody

01:16:08.640 who gives them what they want.

01:16:10.460 Under that condition,

01:16:11.380 if the alternative is that 0.94

01:16:13.060 you're going to be dead

01:16:13.860 and you're not crazy about that idea.

01:16:16.600 So you have a situation.

01:16:18.380 I'll need a religious check on this.

01:16:20.960 Can somebody give me a fact check on this?

01:16:24.120 Is it true that if you're Jewish,

01:16:25.740 you don't believe in the afterlife, per se?

01:16:29.160 You know, not a heaven with virgins and stuff.

01:16:32.220 You're more about what's happening while you're alive.

01:16:35.620 Is that fair to say?

01:16:36.780 Or do I have a mischaracterization?

01:16:39.040 And would it be fair to say that Islam 1.00

01:16:41.600 has the opposite emphasis?

01:16:44.980 You know, the worldly stuff is important,

01:16:47.400 but you're really playing for the afterlife.

01:16:49.100 So how do two people live in peace

01:16:52.600 when one thinks that the afterlife

01:16:55.780 is the important part

01:16:56.840 and the other thinks that the being here

01:16:59.100 is the important part?

01:17:00.960 Draw that up on paper.

01:17:03.760 Just draw that on paper

01:17:04.980 and act like you've never heard of,

01:17:06.780 you know, Israel or Gaza.

01:17:08.640 Just on paper.

01:17:10.080 You got two enemies. 0.99

01:17:11.900 One likes to be dead. 0.60

01:17:13.200 One likes to be alive.

01:17:15.340 You know, I'm summarizing,

01:17:16.200 but that's basically it.

01:17:17.860 Where is that going to end?

01:17:20.640 The incentive system is very clear.

01:17:22.700 The ones who want to stay alive

01:17:23.860 will do everything in their power 0.95

01:17:25.740 to kill the ones who want to be dead. 0.99

01:17:28.360 And so they both win. 0.99

01:17:30.720 You see, the mistake that observers make

01:17:33.740 is that there could be a win-win

01:17:35.840 if they make peace.

01:17:38.180 It's a win-win if you both have the same idea

01:17:40.840 of where the payoff is.

01:17:43.440 If you think the payoff is during life,

01:17:45.540 you're not going to find a way

01:17:47.440 to compromise with somebody

01:17:48.740 who thinks the payoff is afterlife.

01:17:51.000 I don't think that's doable.

01:17:52.980 I mean, not in the long run.

01:17:54.080 In the short run,

01:17:54.760 you can, you know,

01:17:55.900 use the reality of the threats

01:17:57.960 to do things.

01:17:59.860 But on paper,

01:18:03.080 Israel should eventually 1.00

01:18:04.440 kill everybody who believes that. 1.00

01:18:06.900 It might take a while. 0.99

01:18:09.580 But if both people want the same thing, 1.00

01:18:11.840 I want to kill you 1.00

01:18:12.760 so you don't kill me 1.00

01:18:13.680 and you want to be dead, 0.99

01:18:15.460 I think we could work out an arrangement. 0.98

01:18:18.460 And apparently that's what Gaza is. 0.62

01:18:20.700 It's a bunch of people in Gaza,

01:18:22.400 too many of them.

01:18:23.340 Again, not all of them.

01:18:24.660 There's no group that are all the same.

01:18:27.220 But Gaza said, 0.92

01:18:28.460 hey, I think we'd rather be dead

01:18:29.960 than what's going on now.

01:18:32.400 And Israel said,

01:18:33.840 you know,

01:18:34.420 kind of agree with that. 0.99

01:18:35.740 I think you would rather be dead. 0.98

01:18:37.280 We'd be happy with that too. 0.98

01:18:38.240 So every time somebody says,

01:18:41.960 why don't they get together

01:18:43.240 and resolve their differences?

01:18:46.100 I sit here and think,

01:18:47.760 what differences?

01:18:49.960 I don't see the difference.

01:18:52.140 One side wants to be dead 1.00

01:18:53.540 and the other side wants to kill them 1.00

01:18:54.860 for very good reasons. 0.97

01:18:59.020 How am I supposed to feel about that?

01:19:01.600 Why should I get involved in that?

01:19:04.560 Now,

01:19:05.360 if that sounded a little too pro-Israel,

01:19:09.760 let me balance it out a little bit. 0.99

01:19:12.660 I don't give a fuck about your Holocaust. 1.00

01:19:17.260 Period. 1.00

01:19:18.620 I don't give a fuck about your Holocaust. 1.00

01:19:20.820 Don't tell me that I have to make decisions 0.99

01:19:22.600 based on your Holocaust.

01:19:24.880 A lot of people have had hard times. 0.99

01:19:27.480 I also don't give a fuck about your slavery. 0.98

01:19:30.740 I really don't. 0.99

01:19:31.900 I don't care at all.

01:19:33.660 I don't care.

01:19:34.360 And if you're looking at the past,

01:19:35.740 I don't care that much about you.

01:19:38.000 You're not somebody

01:19:38.780 I want to spend a lot of time with.

01:19:40.680 If you want to figure out

01:19:42.200 how to start from wherever you are,

01:19:44.660 and I will acknowledge

01:19:45.600 we're not starting from the same places.

01:19:47.760 There is systemic racism.

01:19:49.180 It's real.

01:19:50.520 We're not starting from the same places.

01:19:52.400 If you'd like to figure out

01:19:53.660 how to optimize your situation

01:19:55.320 in the future,

01:19:57.060 I'm all in.

01:19:58.220 I wrote a book on it.

01:19:59.120 Ask me some advice.

01:20:00.960 I'll give it to you.

01:20:02.140 I'll tell you how to maximize

01:20:03.340 your situation

01:20:04.340 in the system you find yourself in.

01:20:06.520 I'm all in on that.

01:20:08.200 If Israel says, 0.71

01:20:09.640 how do we start today

01:20:11.260 and build like a really good civilization?

01:20:14.120 All in.

01:20:15.280 I'm all in.

01:20:16.820 I don't want to care.

01:20:18.140 I don't want to hear about your Holocaust. 1.00

01:20:21.200 It's exactly as bad as you say it is.

01:20:23.380 I don't care.

01:20:24.700 Stop making me care.

01:20:26.040 I don't care.

01:20:26.980 Don't care about your slavery.

01:20:28.520 Don't care about your Holocaust. 0.97

01:20:31.120 You're not going to make me care.

01:20:33.000 I can be your friend

01:20:34.120 and I can help you

01:20:35.440 in every way that

01:20:36.380 that I can possibly do it. 0.99

01:20:39.700 But don't make me care about bullshit. 0.99

01:20:41.800 Well, 0.99

01:20:42.740 it's not bullshit 0.85

01:20:43.440 in the sense that 0.70

01:20:44.260 it's important and it happened.

01:20:45.600 But don't make me care about it.

01:20:48.320 It's just not helping you

01:20:49.540 and it's not helping me.

01:20:51.840 All right.

01:20:52.360 So that is my provocative show for today.

01:20:56.920 It's going to be lit.

01:20:58.560 Let's see if the needle gets moved

01:21:01.300 by the debate.

01:21:04.280 My prediction is

01:21:05.940 Trump will not become chaotic,

01:21:08.820 but they'll find at least one thing he says

01:21:11.480 that they'll sell as chaos

01:21:13.040 because they're so committed to finding it.

01:21:16.140 If you hire ghost hunters

01:21:17.560 because you think there's a ghost in the house,

01:21:19.900 they're going to find one

01:21:21.320 because they're ghost hunters.

01:21:23.120 It doesn't matter

01:21:23.920 if there's a ghost there.

01:21:25.660 They're ghost hunters.

01:21:26.780 They got paid to find a ghost.

01:21:28.260 They're going to find a ghost.

01:21:30.020 If you think that chaos

01:21:31.400 is going to be there

01:21:32.240 and you're in the press

01:21:33.580 and you think it's your job

01:21:34.880 to point it out,

01:21:36.320 you're going to find some chaos

01:21:37.940 even if it's not there.

01:21:40.780 So you can guarantee

01:21:41.960 that something will happen

01:21:43.560 that they will call chaos

01:21:45.720 and that you and I

01:21:47.200 will look at it and say,

01:21:48.120 are you kidding me?

01:21:49.900 That just looks like another hoax

01:21:51.340 to add to your hoaxocracy.

01:21:53.440 So that's guaranteed.

01:21:55.480 You can guarantee

01:21:56.460 that even if Biden falls asleep

01:21:58.940 and falls out of his chair,

01:22:00.540 has a stroke,

01:22:02.360 that the CNN and MSNBC people will say,

01:22:05.960 you know what?

01:22:07.000 That was a lot better

01:22:07.800 than we were expecting.

01:22:09.220 I'd call that a win.

01:22:10.740 He beat expectations.

01:22:13.380 Yeah.

01:22:13.840 So to imagine 0.94

01:22:15.100 that there's going to be a kill shot 0.97

01:22:16.880 in the debate, 0.93

01:22:18.120 I think is optimistic,

01:22:19.420 although it's fun.

01:22:20.700 It's not impossible.

01:22:22.380 Yeah, there's a non-zero chance

01:22:24.180 of a total kill shot.

01:22:26.240 And here's what I think.

01:22:29.480 I think Trump's strategy

01:22:31.060 is going to be

01:22:32.440 to get under Biden's skin,

01:22:34.380 but not in the normal Trump way,

01:22:37.260 which would be a little over the top.

01:22:38.640 I think he's going to just slide it in. 0.99

01:22:43.180 Look for the kill shot 1.00

01:22:44.940 to be said in mild tones. 1.00

01:22:49.360 All right.

01:22:49.800 Here's not a...

01:22:50.940 This would not be a kill shot. 0.97

01:22:52.800 Your whole family 1.00

01:22:53.560 is a bunch of criminals. 1.00

01:22:55.200 That's not a kill shot. 0.92

01:22:57.400 Not at all. 0.99

01:22:58.840 Here's a kill shot. 0.98

01:23:01.140 He said the election was rigged. 0.99

01:23:03.320 He was rigged. 1.00

01:23:04.680 Here's a kill shot. 1.00

01:23:05.620 Does anybody know 0.98

01:23:08.480 why we have election machines?

01:23:11.640 They don't make things faster.

01:23:14.500 They're not more credible.

01:23:16.680 They're not cheaper.

01:23:18.600 They're not easier.

01:23:20.900 Why do we have them?

01:23:22.660 The only reason I can think of

01:23:24.300 is for the purpose

01:23:25.820 of rigging an election.

01:23:28.520 Now, I'm not saying

01:23:30.120 that that will be the one he uses.

01:23:31.540 I'm just saying 0.87

01:23:32.300 that the kill shot 0.99

01:23:33.320 is going to be the one he says 0.98

01:23:35.580 in a matter-of-fact way. 1.00

01:23:38.840 That will be the kill shot. 0.99

01:23:40.760 Because if you really want 1.00

01:23:41.860 to get under his skin,

01:23:42.940 you don't want to make it

01:23:43.760 a shouting match

01:23:44.620 because he'll just shout.

01:23:47.060 Like, if you go, 0.92

01:23:48.100 ah, ah, ah, you're a criminal, 0.93

01:23:49.240 he's just going to yell back, 1.00

01:23:50.200 ah, ah, you're a criminal. 0.99

01:23:52.560 So you've got to say 0.99

01:23:53.680 that the factual thing

01:23:56.920 that nobody can argue against,

01:23:59.080 which is we don't know a reason

01:24:00.460 why voting machines exist,

01:24:03.320 there might be one, by the way,

01:24:05.160 but it's the fact

01:24:05.900 that we don't know what it is,

01:24:07.440 we the public.

01:24:09.940 All right.

01:24:12.280 So I don't think there'll be a result,

01:24:13.780 but I also don't think

01:24:14.620 that the election

01:24:15.320 will give us a result either.

01:24:18.180 I'd be very surprised

01:24:19.620 if we think we've actually

01:24:21.280 had an election

01:24:21.900 and the president

01:24:23.200 was picked fair and square.

01:24:25.500 Whoever loses

01:24:26.320 is going to say it was rigged.

01:24:27.600 And it might be.

01:24:29.900 I think it's entirely likely, actually.

01:24:33.700 All right.

01:24:34.080 That's all for now.

01:24:35.420 I'm going to say goodbye

01:24:36.160 to YouTube and Rumble and X.

01:24:39.320 I'm going to talk to my beloved

01:24:40.420 locals subscribers

01:24:42.160 for the extra.
