Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2527 CWSA 07⧸05⧸24

00:00:00.000 pretty sure you've never had a better time and today's going to be extra special

00:00:03.580 because the news the news has got all kinds of stuff there's things happening all over the place

00:00:09.320 we'll talk about them and they're all interesting weirdly a super interesting day

00:00:15.280 comments are working technology is working

00:00:19.680 allergy is not so bad we're in good shape story number one you didn't even need to hear this

00:00:28.860 because you already knew yes you are so far ahead of science that when you hear this you're going to

00:00:33.440 say scott i knew that so there's a new study that says youtubers can fulfill emotional needs better

00:00:41.580 than casual friends so there's a new study that says if you're watching somebody on youtube

00:00:49.660 and you do it on a regular basis that you can have your emotional needs fulfilled even though it's

00:00:57.900 sort of a you know one-way conversation that's what i'm doing years ago i wrote that i would be

00:01:04.320 your invisible friend but now i'm not invisible thanks to technology here i am so if you haven't

00:01:12.840 caught how coffee with scott adams works uh it's more than just the live stream the members on the

00:01:20.600 locals locals locals community at scottadams.locals.com are basically friends there just happen to be a lot

00:01:28.760 of us so if you want to be part of it i will be your non-invisible friend and it's way better than

00:01:35.800 not having friends some say it's better than having friends yeah some say but i think you should have

00:01:42.360 friends too but if you don't and you don't have enough i will be your your visible friend

00:01:48.360 apparently science agrees all right i saw this uh great post from fisher king which is a anonymous

00:01:57.660 name about being a night owl he says being a night owl isn't isn't about staying up late for whatever

00:02:04.080 reason to drink or party it's about feeling a release of tension and ease in the dark that lets

00:02:12.420 you do the work and study that makes you happy something about broad daylight creates a pressure

00:02:17.780 to be involved with things move with the hustle and bustle of people in the streets when you really

00:02:23.620 you need solitude and silence now first of all i agree with the statement that uh you know working

00:02:32.320 when everybody else is asleep is the best time but oh my god is the writing of this good

00:02:38.560 the release of tension and ease in the dark i just love the choice of words and um and i would say

00:02:47.380 also that uh working early in the morning cures my adhd in the afternoon my brain's all over the place

00:02:54.800 i can't concentrate in the morning when it's dark and everybody else is asleep and it's too cold to be

00:03:02.080 outdoors and i wouldn't want to be outdoors anyway my whole world shrinks to the size of my desk and

00:03:09.160 i even keep it dark only only my desk area is lighted everything else is complete dark and silence

00:03:14.560 otherwise i can't concentrate now i recommend this in this case fisher king is uh prefers the night

00:03:21.840 hours i prefer the early morning hours but more generally creative work is best done between midnight

00:03:29.960 and 8 a.m i like the you know 4 30 to 8 a.m part other people like the midnight to 4 a.m part but it's

00:03:38.920 the same part that's where that's where you can really focus on who you are and your creative process so

00:03:51.640 just think about that if you're having a problem concentrating on the things you need to move forward

00:03:56.440 think about experimenting either late at night if you don't have to get up or early in the morning

00:04:02.440 uh it turns out people are very different you can't all be morning people i used to think you

00:04:08.360 could but now i think you can't make yourself be a morning person but you might make it might be easy to

00:04:14.200 be a you know 12 to 2 person uh axios is reporting there's a big movement to ban cell phones in schools

00:04:22.360 to which every single person here who has any experience with children in schools and cell phones

00:04:28.360 said wait a minute they weren't already banned what wait what they they weren't already banned in school

00:04:39.000 well they were sort of banned in terms that you couldn't use it during the class but everybody

00:04:42.840 just used it under their desk so so everybody was just sort of like this

00:04:46.840 yeah there's no way you could possibly concentrate on your class and do that at the same time

00:04:55.240 however um i've got a provocative hypothesis we assume that the children will learn better and be

00:05:03.160 better and be better off if they don't have their distraction of their phones because it's common

00:05:07.880 sense am i right what could be more obvious then you don't want people distracted when they're trying to

00:05:14.200 learn well let me throw in a little bit of a little bit of a thinker what are we preparing kids for

00:05:24.920 are we preparing them for a world that doesn't exist or for a world that does exist and the world that

00:05:31.880 does exist is full of distractions if you can't learn to do your class work and use your phone in class

00:05:39.960 you're never going to make it in the real world you didn't see that coming did you

00:05:47.160 uh yeah uh when i took a uh an employment test for pacific bell when i was very young part of the

00:05:54.360 test was a distraction test have you ever heard of this i think it was a comment in the bell system

00:06:01.240 at some time they would literally give you a test and then they would distract you every you know whatever

00:06:07.080 minute or something and the entire thing was to see if you could do ordinary tasks in the context of

00:06:13.240 being distracted every few seconds and if you couldn't do it they didn't want to hire you because

00:06:18.440 the real world is about lots of distractions so it could be that while it's definitely true your kids

00:06:27.800 aren't learning as much that it's creating a filter that the people who can survive that kind of

00:06:34.600 environment learn to do it better we might be surprised at which one of these we want now i

00:06:42.360 don't think you can disturb the classroom situation with you know that's a different thing but we might

00:06:47.640 find that you gotta you gotta teach kids to deal with distractions because that's what the real world is

00:06:53.080 maybe i'm just putting it out there as a hypothesis i i am not in favor of kids having cell phones in

00:06:58.920 schools i'm not in favor of that just hear that clearly but i'll just put out there as a hypothesis

00:07:06.520 we're not entirely sure what's true and we live it we live in a world where you don't know

00:07:13.560 i know i see what i see what you're saying

00:07:16.280 did we forget something something very important called the simultaneous sip and you feel the lack

00:07:27.000 don't you yeah yeah you can feel it you're incomplete well if you'd like to be complete all you need is a

00:07:36.840 cup or a mug or a glass of tank or chalice style a canteen jug or flask a vessel of any kind fill it with

00:07:42.600 your favorite liquid i like coffee and join me now for the unparalleled pleasure the dopamine here

00:07:49.000 the day the thing that makes everything better it's called the simultaneous sip and it's going to happen

00:07:53.080 now go

00:08:01.880 now this brings me perfectly to a topic that was upcoming did you feel the need for the simultaneous

00:08:10.440 sip because you developed a habit and add a reward you felt it right yeah so you can feel

00:08:20.600 that i have rewired your brains in a very specific way intentionally you know with your permission

00:08:27.000 because you obviously knew what was happening and you now have a new habit or a new piece of circuitry

00:08:33.240 this is something that hypnotists can do right not just hypnotists of course but hypnotists know how to

00:08:41.240 add a little brain circuitry where there wasn't one before we can connect two things that weren't

00:08:46.920 connected and they'll stay connected because the circuitry is physically there once it's created now

00:08:53.880 now take that thought

00:08:59.160 and apply it to the next topic coincidentally i have a theory that uh time blindness

00:09:07.960 so-called time blindness do you know people who have time blindness they used to call

00:09:11.400 adhd or it's an element of it or maybe it's something else but it's the idea that some people can't be on

00:09:18.200 time because they're just they're they're blind to time now how many times have we seen that um

00:09:27.800 i've cured a condition that was incurable

00:09:33.240 if you're new to the stream you just said what all right here this is for the new people

00:09:40.360 this is just to give a shock to the system if you're new to the stream i've cured more people than jesus

00:09:48.200 that's literally true now jesus is better than me but you know let me be clear jesus is way better

00:09:57.320 than me i'm not comparing myself to jesus i'm just giving you a data point see jesus didn't have a social

00:10:03.640 media so when he was doing his cures he was done doing one off it's like what'd you do today jesus well

00:10:10.760 i cured uh three lepers and a blind guy well that's pretty impressive that's really impressive 1.00

00:10:17.640 i can't do that but if i come up with a cure for something i can tell a million people

00:10:25.960 right so i've cured probably thousands of people of pyresis that's shy bladder just with

00:10:34.280 hypnosis essentially um i've cured the common sneeze i wrote about that in my book reframe your brain

00:10:41.320 not every kind of sneeze but i taught you a mental trick to make a sneeze go away by imagining you're

00:10:47.560 sneezing instead of actually sneezing now you didn't see that coming did you i've also cured

00:10:55.880 a number of people of a incurable speaking problem the one i had and i've suggested people maybe looking

00:11:03.800 for the surgery and the number of people got the surgery and got cured so i've you know cured them

00:11:09.640 just by information in that case they didn't know there was a cure i set them up they got a cure likewise

00:11:17.000 with the reframe um alcohol is poison probably hundreds maybe maybe more have told me they stopped

00:11:25.640 drinking forever just put in the words alcohol is poison because that allowed them to see it in a

00:11:32.360 different frame and then it was easier to quit i get hundreds of people maybe thousands who told me

00:11:39.880 that they dropped you know 50 and 60 pounds how much healthier are you if you dropped 60 pounds

00:11:47.080 probably a lot so i do have a track record of literally curing people of and that's just a

00:11:54.520 partial list of debilitating uncurable or hard to cure problems you have to know that because the next

00:12:03.400 thing i'm going to say is so wildly improbable that if you didn't have the context you would say i'm

00:12:08.840 not even going to listen to what you say because you're so wildly crazy but if you knew that i have

00:12:14.440 in fact cured a number of major problems in in public i do it in public and then people can see 0.91

00:12:21.160 it you can see the comments you can see it yourself uh i'm going to cure time blindness now

00:12:29.320 now you're going to say to yourself scott scott why why don't you just listen to the experts 0.86

00:12:35.800 are you fucking kidding me have you heard from the experts lately apparently the experts are wrong 0.88

00:12:43.800 about just about everything all the time that's not true of course but it feels like it lately 0.97

00:12:49.720 so i don't even blink when somebody says i'm going to tell you something that's opposite of science now

00:12:55.800 and i think i'm right there was a time i would have said come on don't waste my time

00:13:00.760 don't waste my time saying that you know something that science got wrong

00:13:06.520 but these days i'm willing to listen i'll tell you i'm a lot less cocky than i used to be about my 0.97

00:13:13.960 science i i used to be one of those assholes it's like yeah i hear what you're saying but do you know that 0.92

00:13:20.920 all of science disagrees with you how about that i win science is on my side yeah yeah me it's me and 0.83

00:13:33.080 science we're like bros together we can conquer everything and then i found out that my bro science 0.91

00:13:40.200 was a big fucking liar sciences i can't trust it at all all right so with that set up i give you the 0.98

00:13:48.760 following i don't think that people have time blindness i think that a hypnotist with a little 0.99

00:13:55.480 bit of work it would take some a b testing i don't think i could get it on the first try i think you

00:14:00.440 could find a piece of circuitry that you can connect for the first time with people who say they have

00:14:06.920 time blindness and you can cure it in other words you can build a habit that would just be automatic

00:14:13.400 as much as the simultaneous sip and i don't know exactly how to do it but i'll give you some some

00:14:20.680 things i would try i have an observation and i don't know if any of you can back this up so this is

00:14:27.560 not real data this is just a anecdotal i believe that people who have time blindness

00:14:34.360 often were a situation where they could spend lots of time alone in other words they had their

00:14:39.640 own bedroom when they were young and maybe their own bathroom so that they could be time blind without

00:14:46.760 any external thing affecting them and so it would never get fixed so their lateness is when you're not

00:14:52.680 watching in other words if somebody who has time blindness stood right next to me and i said here's

00:14:59.640 what we're going to do we're going to chop up these vegetables all right and i'll take a piece of

00:15:05.000 broccoli i'll say okay you take a piece of broccoli all right do it the same time i do right now let's

00:15:10.120 see if we can finish at the same time we're just chopping broccoli i'm chopping you're chopping do you

00:15:15.960 think that they couldn't do it do you think that the person standing right next to you would be time blind

00:15:22.600 and then they wouldn't be able to chop broccoli and be done about the same time you were

00:15:26.280 no they would because you would be their external clock you would be the clock they wouldn't think

00:15:35.400 of it that way but they would just automatically match your pace now suppose you put that person

00:15:41.240 in a repeated bunch of situations where you create artificial situations where they just have to do

00:15:47.720 things at the same way in the same time and the same you know exact sequence as a person who doesn't

00:15:54.440 have time blindness then secondly you do a little test you say hey we're gonna do a little test uh

00:16:02.760 try to tell me when you think seven minutes is up and then you see how close they get now sometimes

00:16:09.000 they'll forget to even answer it'll be like an hour later and you'll say okay do you remember that you

00:16:15.400 were going to tell me when seven minutes was up and it might be wildly impossible at first but i'll bet you

00:16:22.120 that if you if you get people to feel physically what it's like to be next to somebody who knows

00:16:29.000 what time is and feels it that you would learn to feel it much like uh i'm the worst drummer in the

00:16:37.320 world you know i try to try to do play the drums but if i watch a good drummer on a youtube my drumming

00:16:44.360 instantly gets better just from the exposure that doesn't last but i can i can pick up like a little

00:16:50.200 extra funk or something just immediately so i believe that people might learn their sense of

00:16:56.200 time from exposure to other people here's another example this is my favorite one i i use this example

00:17:03.480 a lot the way you train a uh herding dog like a sheep dog to herd the sheep is you just introduce a new

00:17:11.560 dog that's it that's the training the new dog just watches the trained dog and in a really short time

00:17:21.560 a few days the new dog becomes a sheep dog just from exposure to oh you do that i'll do that looks like

00:17:28.520 you're having fun i'll have fun secondly i also observe that people with time blindness do not get a

00:17:35.960 dopamine hit from being on time but i do i get a dopamine hit from doing boring things efficiently

00:17:45.640 people who have time blindness will tell you if i'm doing a boring thing like i my brain just

00:17:49.960 checks out i can't concentrate on a boring thing but i say how do you ever have a boring thing how do you

00:17:57.480 ever have a boring thing i never have a boring thing i have challenges so if something's boring i say

00:18:04.360 how's the fastest way i can make this uh finish in the way nobody's ever done it so fast and then it's

00:18:10.840 a challenge and then it's interesting and if i can do that thing that takes an hour and 45 minutes

00:18:16.280 the next day i say i'll bet i can do it in 44 minutes so i never i'm never bored i'm always

00:18:22.040 creating a challenge now these are habits could you install these habits or something like them you

00:18:28.600 know i i don't think i've necessarily hit the answer yet i just believe that the missing

00:18:34.120 piece of circuitry is something that's completely fixable because brains are programmable and that

00:18:40.280 little free-floating thing that doesn't connect your sense of time to what you're doing at the

00:18:44.920 moment i could connect those i could connect those and i'll bet i'll bet any hypnotist could you know any

00:18:52.760 really good hypnotist i don't think you can do it with a therapist necessarily i don't think you can

00:18:59.080 do it with a pill necessarily i do think a hypnotist could do it with some people over time it might

00:19:06.760 take a little experimenting so i just put that out there that i think we have a complete wrong

00:19:12.680 understanding of time blindness and what to do about it the tate brothers won their appeal so they the

00:19:20.520 appeal allows them to travel i guess they still have legal peril but uh at the moment as long as they're

00:19:25.480 free they can now travel in europe now i ask you why couldn't they travel in europe before what changed

00:19:34.040 between the time they had to be in jail to the time they were allowed to be out but in romania

00:19:41.480 to the time now that they could travel obviously being flight risks is this sort of the cats on the roof 0.96

00:19:48.280 is this the first step toward an admission that the charges were complete bullshit because you know

00:19:56.280 i'm no fan of uh uh andrew tate just for personal reasons not because of what he says uh i actually 0.88

00:20:03.880 like what he says i like his act uh i don't like him personally as a as a human being that that's just

00:20:10.520 his personal interactions with him but everything about the legal peril that they're in just screamed

00:20:19.720 not real it just screamed like somebody was out to get him and they were law-faring him in romania

00:20:26.200 the worst possible thing that could happen to you so keep an eye on this if i had to predict

00:20:32.040 i'm going to predict that they don't go to jail and that we someday learn the charges were complete 0.97

00:20:36.840 bullshit and that they came from another country in other words i'll bet romania was doing a favor 0.99

00:20:43.320 to some other country for some other reason somebody didn't like him that's what i think 0.99

00:20:48.840 because there are just too many people who have a certain kind of view who have bad luck have you

00:20:55.080 noticed that oh uh alex jones well you know that's a special case because it was the thing he said and

00:21:01.560 you know the kind of bad luck and then andrew tate as well you know you have to understand you

00:21:07.720 probably did some bad things in addition to the things he was saying so you know the bad things

00:21:12.440 catch up with you maybe and uh you know this cartoonist got canceled for what he said but you

00:21:19.000 know you have to understand it's what he said it's you know special case certainly are a lot of special

00:21:25.880 cases aren't there have you noticed how many special cases there are they all seem to go

00:21:31.080 in one direction because i don't see a lot of special cases on the left just a lot of special

00:21:37.800 cases on the right so watch out for the special cases they may not be as special as you think

00:21:44.520 tucker carlson got fired from fox news but that was a special case because he said something about the

00:21:50.200 elections right maybe there are no special cases at gray goose we believe that pleasure is a necessity

00:22:00.600 that's why we craft the world's number one premium vodka in france using only three of the finest

00:22:05.720 natural ingredients french winter wheat water from jean sac and yeast

00:22:12.600 with gray goose we invite you to live in the moment and make time wait sip responsibly

00:22:20.200 speaking of tucker uh he said that he's got a interview lined up and he's going to talk to

00:22:28.200 zelensky zelensky's people said nope uh nothing like that happened there is nobody in zelensky's office

00:22:35.880 who believes that that's true he has a full schedule and his schedule is not involving tucker and it's

00:22:41.880 completely made up and maybe he shouldn't believe things that russians tell him

00:22:45.880 do you think he got pranked do you think that some russian pretended to be a zelensky person

00:22:56.680 and yeah how would you really know i mean if somebody called me and said

00:23:00.840 beryl or is he scott adams i'd be yes oh this is a zelensky's office this is my ukrainian accent you

00:23:10.200 recognize it ukrainian accent uh this is ukrainian uh office of zelensky uh we very much like to do

00:23:18.520 interview with you how would i know it's not zelensky

00:23:25.400 you know i suppose you could ask the government but if you're tucker you know the government's not 0.93

00:23:30.760 even going to return your call it would be pretty easy to get pranked and i'd like to give you the

00:23:37.160 extra extra extra extra caution you have to stop believing every audio source for everything even

00:23:44.280 if it's live you have to learn to not trust any audio source even live even if you're having a

00:23:54.280 conversation live you don't know if you're even talking to a person anymore you really don't

00:23:59.480 uh remember ai has passed the turing test that means that literally scientifically a human can't

00:24:08.280 tell they're talking to an ai all the time sometimes you can so don't trust anything could be a prank

00:24:14.200 could be an ai could be an op there's just nothing you can trust

00:24:20.920 anyway meanwhile up in canada the woke canadians are they're having experiment with their first

00:24:29.080 15-minute city so the city of edmonton is going to divide itself into 15 little parts and then all

00:24:35.720 of them will be places that if you live in one of those little parts you'll be able to get whatever

00:24:41.240 you want within 15 minutes um and it'll be mostly mass transit so everything would be more convenient

00:24:48.920 and closer don't need as much climate change don't need to spend as much money we'll talk about climate

00:24:55.240 change later um and of course uh my audience is concerned that this would be uh klaus schwab's

00:25:03.560 dream of globalizing everything and taking away your freedoms so you don't want your city to be

00:25:09.240 convenient because it'll take away your freedoms now i of course have given you a little pushback 0.99

00:25:17.560 on the idea that living in the city that's well designed for your convenience is really a plot to

00:25:23.880 control you maybe it's just good for everybody but i do acknowledge that uh this change would give the

00:25:34.840 give people an easier way to control you would you agree that the 15-minute city would give the people

00:25:41.880 in charge yet another way to control you and of course they would because every time you give them

00:25:47.800 control they use it would you can we all agree that it does create a situation

00:25:53.960 where maybe you don't have a car it just feels like they would be able to control you better if you're

00:26:00.040 you're in your little 15-minute city it's not that you can't leave but you won't have a car

00:26:07.320 so you'll have to work at it a little bit harder if you want to leave well here's my context

00:26:12.200 um when the automobile was first introduced into america did it give you freedom or take it away

00:26:23.480 well it gave you freedom right because you got to drive around well did it did it because it came

00:26:30.200 with all kinds of rules what you could do what you couldn't do and then you got to the point where you

00:26:36.280 had to have a car like you didn't even have an option so cars started out as well isn't that cool

00:26:43.560 to they're mandatory really how could you live a modern life without one you know at some point so

00:26:50.200 you had phones when telephones were introduced the government got a way to spy on all of you because

00:27:00.200 they could tap your phones with any good reason so was the telephone a good idea or a bad idea

00:27:07.720 because it guaranteed you lost your privacy you know the government could listen to anything they wanted

00:27:14.200 but the telephone was useful you know sort of like a 15-minute city it's just that you gave up

00:27:19.560 your privacy but then you had a computer wow computers were great you could do so many things

00:27:27.160 but it gave the government a way not to just spy on one phone call but they could learn everything

00:27:33.560 you've ever done everything you care about everybody you've talked to everything you've said you gave up

00:27:39.160 all of your freedom because computers are really cool and they're useful and they're great so were

00:27:45.480 computers a bad idea well they gave up all of your freedom it depends do you like freedom because you lost

00:27:54.760 it but the computers are cool too games and you can do things they have apps um how about uh security

00:28:04.200 cameras you know what's great that you could have a security camera to feel safe you know it keeps

00:28:10.360 the bad guys away easier to catch them but then that meant you were on security cameras everywhere you went

00:28:19.400 so you gave up all of your physical freedom in the sense of people not knowing where you are at any

00:28:25.720 given time because they also added facial recognition so security cameras are great

00:28:35.000 when you agree keeps you safe also took away all your freedom so now you you don't have the ability to

00:28:41.880 travel without being spotted how about facial recognition great stuff the convenience of it you could tell

00:28:49.720 if somebody is a real person that we don't do this yet but we will uh if you go to the store you don't have

00:28:55.560 your id wouldn't it be great if they just use facial recognition i mean i use it on my phone

00:29:01.640 all the time i i hated putting in my password to my phone now i just you know phone just looks at my

00:29:07.720 face my god that's great that is a great great thing that took away all my privacy

00:29:16.760 i've got one of those digital devices from amazon whose name i dare not say

00:29:21.320 it's amazing i can't tell you how much better my life is because i can just talk to that thing

00:29:27.080 all day long i'm talking to it i've got one in all my major rooms i talk to it all day long i'm asking

00:29:33.400 it questions and checking things it's great it also listens to everything i do or could and if the

00:29:41.560 government wanted to listen to me in every room they could but it's really cool i really enjoy it

00:29:49.960 so i would argue that the most common thing for us and we'll see with ai as well ai is really useful

00:29:58.920 it's great do you think ai will take away some of your freedoms of course it will do you think ai will

00:30:04.360 take away your jobs of course it will do you think that your ability to even experience the

00:30:11.400 feeling of free will will be diminished greatly by ai yes yes it will how about the robots that are

00:30:18.520 going to be in your house you're going to actually have a robot connected to the internet with eyes and

00:30:23.400 brain watching everything you do but it's going to be so cool i'm going to get one i'm going to get one

00:30:32.280 yeah and it's going to be watching me just like a spy and the government could probably take over

00:30:38.360 that robot's brain anytime it wanted watch everything that i do and even tell the robot to look around

00:30:44.520 i think that i think at some point the government if it has a warrant will be able to listen to this

00:30:51.480 the government will be able to order your robot to search your house while you're at work

00:30:55.560 yeah your robot will be ordered to watch your passwords as you type them into your computer

00:31:03.720 oh yeah that's common but are you not going to get a robot you will get a robot

00:31:11.960 we're all going to have a robot we're all going to have robots and you're going to give away

00:31:17.000 whatever's left the last shred of your independence from the government 1.00

00:31:21.720 so when you tell me scott you fucking idiot don't you understand that the 15-minute cities 1.00

00:31:30.680 are part of the global conspiracy to take away your freedoms i say of course i understand that 1.00

00:31:39.000 i understood it about the phone the car the computer i understand it about my digital devices i

00:31:46.280 understand it about security cameras i understand it about ai i understand it about robots it's going

00:31:55.080 to happen anyway and i for one am in favor of designing cities to be more efficient and if you're

00:32:04.920 concerned about taking your freedom i would say you're completely right and it probably doesn't matter

00:32:11.480 because you've given away your freedom so many times there's no freedom left and what the hell 0.51

00:32:17.000 are they going to do to you think that they can't already do i mean really you're afraid of the digital

00:32:23.720 money because then they'll know exactly what you're doing with your money

00:32:29.080 if you're using a credit card they already know what you're doing with your money

00:32:32.360 it's only cash that matters and cash is mostly used for sketchy reasons right now

00:32:37.800 is to avoid taxes basically or buy drugs i guess anyway here's a new report i'm going to test your bias

00:32:44.920 the rnc reports rnc research account on x reports that the official jobs number uh from the last two

00:32:52.680 months has been revised downward wow by 111 000. so surprise right the jobs report looked really good

00:33:02.120 and then just like you knew they got revised down quite a bit quite a bit that's a big number now

00:33:11.400 here's a test of your uh your knowledge of the news true or false here's a true or false test true or false

00:33:22.760 in the election year when biden is in charge and therefore the government is sort of pro-biden one

00:33:28.760 assumes that they are going to lie about the jobs numbers consistently while he's in office and then

00:33:35.560 there'll be like a little correction later that they hope you don't notice

00:33:40.680 true or false the news consistently says the jobs are good and then quietly correct it later where you

00:33:49.000 don't notice true or false

00:33:52.600 i'll read your answers true true true true true true true you've all seen it

00:33:59.320 you've seen it with your own eyes so therefore it's true yep it's not true

00:34:06.520 do you know how i know it's not true because in my ongoing conversation with michael lee in black

00:34:13.800 who represents let's say almost the polar opposite of my political views i mentioned that to him i said

00:34:21.000 you know conservatives see this but you probably don't that those job numbers that look good they always you

00:34:27.720 know maybe not 100 percent of the time but pretty much you can depend usually they're going to get

00:34:33.320 revised down and then you won't notice the revision and he said well that's not true

00:34:40.840 and i said come on this is the most obviously true thing in the news how do you not know that it's like

00:34:46.920 almost every month it seems it seems they say the numbers were good and then a month later they're not so

00:34:52.280 good and he said but i remember them being revised in both directions not just one way sometimes they

00:35:02.120 go up sometimes they don't and i said to myself well that can't be true because i only see them revised

00:35:08.840 them revised down and so i checked turns out that the revised up sometimes and down sometimes and that

00:35:18.040 a republican entity will tell me when they've been revised down and they won't tell me when they've been

00:35:24.680 revised up so michael ian black for the win his version of the news was accurate my version of the news was 0.95

00:35:36.680 fucking bullshit 100 win which i told him by the way 100 his news was accurate mine was 0.94

00:35:46.120 bullshit and it wasn't wrong in terms of you know the accuracy it was just what i what i saw so i don't 1.00

00:35:53.960 see anybody posting well those numbers are way better than we thought but today i saw the rnc research 0.98

00:36:00.680 number telling me and here's what zero hedge said uh something like you know here comes here it goes

00:36:06.920 again or something like that so zero hedge presented it as the here's here it is again here's what they

00:36:13.240 always do but they don't they don't always do that what is true is that when they do it you see it because

00:36:23.000 the republicans are more likely to send that around social media so if that if that uh tricked you the

00:36:31.560 way it tricked me do your own research just you know check you'll see

00:36:40.280 all right here's another fake news there was some news that there was some documents suggesting that mike

00:36:45.240 flynn would be the vp choice uh he says that it's not true and that uh the the filing he debunked it so

00:36:55.400 basically flynn says there's no filing that's not a real thing now that doesn't mean that he's not going

00:37:01.880 to be the choice for vice president i don't think he will be but um it's just that this document is fake

00:37:12.040 so if you believe that document was real uh check yourself because it was fake now i didn't really

00:37:19.480 have i i guess i suspected it was fake because i heard this story and yet i didn't think it was

00:37:27.240 important enough to talk about i think i mentioned it was new but it never seemed important to me

00:37:32.680 and it would have been important if i thought it was true so i guess i'd never believed it enough to

00:37:39.000 make it a big deal so i i guess i i can take a a partial victory in that i wasn't convinced of this

00:37:46.120 one but i could have made a bigger i could have said more directly that i was skeptical so i think i'll

00:37:52.760 correct myself on that all right so uh i saw tucker saying this the other day uh on a video that you

00:38:03.480 have you really have to restate in your mind everything that you think you believed about

00:38:09.720 history because we're living through history that will someday be in history books and we can see with

00:38:16.440 our own eyes and our own ears that what will be written in the history books will not be real

00:38:22.680 and yet we can be sure that children will be taught it as if it's real um the fact that the media tried

00:38:30.520 to tell us that biden's problem was a cold and a stutter well let's say they were not lying as

00:38:37.480 obviously as they are if you had to revise your understanding of history you might say to yourself

00:38:44.680 you know all right i gotta take this under consideration there was a time i was told from

00:38:50.040 the historians that uh stalin was a bad dude and he he killed a bunch of people that you know is

00:38:58.920 considered one of the greatest evils in history of the world but now i'm wondering if he didn't just

00:39:05.480 have a cold and a stutter no well they're telling us that a cold and a stutter can make you act in a

00:39:16.520 way that no person normally acts people don't normally want to kill 20 million of their own people

00:39:22.360 that's not normal so how do we know he didn't just maybe it's just a passing thing just a cold

00:39:27.960 and a stutter all right i'm kidding but how ridiculous is it that they're still trying to tell

00:39:34.360 us it might be a cold and a stutter and oh by the way uh he was also jet lagged and by the way it's

00:39:42.680 just normal aging here's a little trick i learned from this the my uh who i called my uh smartest

00:39:50.520 democrat friend i mentioned him all the time but one of the things he taught me years ago was if somebody

00:39:58.200 has one reason one explanation for something it might be true and it might be false you don't know

00:40:04.680 just one explanation but if somebody offers you three competing explanations it's always 0.72

00:40:10.920 bullshit uh why were you late oh traffic was bad and i had a flat tire 0.87

00:40:18.920 okay if it was only traffic was bad maybe but if traffic was bad and you had a flat tire 1.00

00:40:31.480 suddenly it doesn't sound as true he had a problem because he had a cold and a stutter

00:40:38.680 and international travel 12 days ago and it's just normal

00:40:49.240 as soon as you get that second or third excuse

00:40:53.720 all doubt should be removed about whether it's true nope you get to that third one and that's that's

00:41:01.560 pretty confirming that it's not real

00:41:07.480 bank more encores when you switch to a scotia bank banking package

00:41:11.960 learn more at scotia bank.com banking packages conditions apply scotia bank you're richer than you

00:41:18.760 think all right now the latest is that biden is telling democratic governors

00:41:25.080 that he's going to go go to sleep by 8 pm because he needs more sleep

00:41:28.760 no nothing wrong with that totally normal you know you want him to be sharp at 3 a.m when he

00:41:36.520 gets that call about the nuclear attack and we'll say he's in good shape went to bed at eight

00:41:43.160 yeah that would sound like yet another maybe a fourth excuse not just jet lag but in general not enough

00:41:52.360 sleep but he also has a cold and a stutter and uh trump's old too trump's old too

00:42:02.600 in case i didn't mention that trump's old too so that would be like five things

00:42:09.960 all right um i would recommend that whenever you hear somebody moves in the news tell you that the

00:42:15.800 problem is he had a cold that you translated into your head into monty python talk because here's

00:42:23.240 what's not funny john corinne john priere saying but people uh it's a very clear um i've been very

00:42:31.720 clear very very clear he had a cold he had a cold i've been very clear have i told you i've been clear

00:42:38.840 i don't know if i mentioned i've been clear very clear it was just a cold people now that's not funny

00:42:47.160 here's funny it's just a cold well but he looked like he couldn't even talk it's just a cold he's

00:42:56.760 he's fine he's just got a cold now you're probably realizing right now he can't do a monty python 0.96

00:43:04.040 accent to save his ass it sounded exactly like his ukrainian accent and that wasn't good to begin 0.98

00:43:09.560 with okay that's true so you have to do your own monty python in your head you don't do mine mine's 0.99

00:43:17.000 mine's not good well miranda devine divine tells us um is it devine or divine probably divine miranda

00:43:26.360 divine right is it devine or divine it's so hard the names that don't tell you how to pronounce them

00:43:35.480 by looking at them anyway miranda who's great um she was saying on a report recently on tv that

00:43:43.160 every reporter on the campaign trail in 2020 could see with her own eyes that joe biden was in cognitive

00:43:48.600 decline he was very low energy he had to have teleprompters uh for the smallest things and his

00:43:55.000 basic stump speeches blah blah do you believe that do you believe that everybody could see it

00:44:03.160 and the entire left-leaning news covered it up 1.00

00:44:08.840 that's funny let's play uh lying stupid or crazy or weak i added weak because we're going to look at some 1.00

00:44:19.960 people on the left and what they say about biden and you get to decide are they lying are they stupid 1.00

00:44:27.720 are they crazy or are they just weak 1.00

00:44:36.520 brian stelter 0.98

00:44:40.120 um now that he knows that biden has these problems and he was one of the ones saying there was no problem

00:44:45.480 at all right up until the debate he uh wrote he said the record of how biden's health was covered

00:44:51.080 is complicated just as aging is a complicated process 1.00

00:44:57.560 is he lying stupid crazy or weak 1.00

00:45:04.120 lying crazy stupid or weak 1.00

00:45:07.160 he's acting like maybe it wasn't so obvious yeah maybe you couldn't really see it you know because 1.00

00:45:11.960 of the complicated stuff it's complicated how could anybody see it when it's so complicated

00:45:19.560 i'm going to say lying and weak

00:45:23.880 lying either because he's weak 1.00

00:45:27.320 or he's leak and weak and lying and it's coincidence i don't think he's crazy and i don't think he's stupid 1.00

00:45:35.640 i mean not that stupid 1.00

00:45:36.920 uh let's do another one uh george slapanopoulos so he's going to do the um conversation with biden 0.97

00:45:47.000 i guess we'll see it today and uh he is presumably going to give a lifeline to biden if he can

00:45:56.440 um as uh i think ari fleischer was pointing out he says uh it's amazing to think joe biden's fate is

00:46:03.800 in the hands of bill clinton's former communications director george stephanopoulos in 1992 george helped

00:46:11.480 save clinton from a bimbo eruption what will he do now for biden save him or end him it's possible 0.99

00:46:19.800 that stephanopoulos is being sent to end him because if the people were really in power in the democrat

00:46:27.160 side need to end them they would send their best yeah and he would do it now is george 1.00

00:46:36.840 stilopoulos lying stupid crazy or weak lying stupid crazy or weak because i think he was one of the 1.00

00:46:47.240 people saying biden's fine what do you think i'm gonna say lying definitely not stupid 1.00

00:46:54.760 definitely not crazy definitely not crazy definitely not weak just lying yeah that was easy 0.96

00:47:05.640 how about morning joe so apparently uh joe came back to work after his scheduled vacation that

00:47:13.240 apparently did not involve his wife okay that's normal um and uh he took that scheduled vacation

00:47:23.960 somebody pointed out uh soon after he uh disagreed with his wife on air and told her to calm down

00:47:33.320 i guess that's what's get you that'll get you a vacation without your wife 1.00

00:47:39.400 if you'd like a vacation without your wife just tell her to calm down that'll get you a vacation without a 1.00

00:47:46.040 wife maybe forever so anyway morning joe comes back and you probably saw his uh rant about

00:47:52.840 uh f you if you don't know that biden is the best biden there's ever been and a few days later the best 0.99

00:48:00.040 biden uh decomposed in front of us that was the best biden now morning joe lying stupid crazy or weak 1.00

00:48:10.680 lying stupid crazy or weak for uh morning joe morning joe what do you say i'm gonna vote um 1.00

00:48:25.960 obviously lying but it looks like there's some mental health problems there yeah so i would go with 1.00

00:48:31.960 lying and crazy uh he doesn't seem weak i mean if you're weak you don't tell your wife to calm down on 0.94

00:48:39.000 national tv you might pay for it but it wasn't weak you know his his uh i mean his whole thing he's not 0.99

00:48:47.000 weak all right and he's not stupid he's not stupid not even a little bit so i'm gonna go with lying 0.93

00:48:57.160 and crazy all right here's another one uh joy reed did a uh video in which she said um 0.99

00:49:06.120 that it looks like hitler is going to be elected and it wasn't a joke she was saying that um in a real 0.99

00:49:13.800 way trump is hitler is she lying stupid crazy or weak um i'm gonna say crazy because she represented 1.00

00:49:30.600 herself crazy in other words she looked crazy she had crazy eyes crazy crazy thoughts um there might 1.00

00:49:38.360 be some lying mixed in but she's not stupid and she's not weak she's definitely not weak and there's 1.00

00:49:48.280 no evidence she's stupid there's plenty of evidence that she has a mental health problem and that she's 1.00

00:49:53.880 lying she's lying what about rachel maddow lying stupid crazy or weak 1.00

00:50:03.800 she's not she's not stupid she's smarter than all of us put together all right she's super smart 1.00

00:50:11.080 she's not weak because you know she's pushed through a lot of things to be on tv but she does admit to 0.87

00:50:18.520 some mental health issues depression but you can see more of that in her face like i don't know what

00:50:26.440 the problem is and i do actually have some empathy for it she looks like she's tortured uh i would say 1.00

00:50:33.720 mental health i don't want to say crazy because that's you know crazy is what you say to somebody

00:50:39.880 who's not under therapy i'm pretty sure she's getting professional help so i'm gonna i'm gonna be

00:50:45.720 more kind and not say crazy i will say there's a mental health issue that's genuine and it's serious

00:50:54.600 and i think we're all being sort of influenced by a mental health issue more than the news

00:51:02.120 all right that's my take now you can't know but keep in mind we're not mind readers so we can't know

00:51:07.880 that our our conclusions are right here we're just saying what it looks like

00:51:12.760 all right and i would say i think that the msnbc has a duty to disclose their mental health situation

00:51:23.960 i mean that literally and i'm not saying this about cnn uh cnn has a bunch of people who say things i

00:51:30.520 don't like sometimes they're a lot better they're moving toward the middle but i don't see them looking

00:51:37.240 crazy do you i don't see them having mental health problems i see jake tapper doing jake tapper i see

00:51:45.720 wolf blitzer doing wolf blitzer you know um john king doing john king none of them look crazy not even a 0.94

00:51:53.800 little bit but as soon as i turn on msnbc it's not that they're more strident about trump it's not really

00:52:00.280 that they actually honestly without any spin or anything to me they represent as really obviously

00:52:10.120 mentally ill now here's where i'm going to get a little mad at the media you can see it too

00:52:18.840 everybody can see it you could see it years ago with biden and here it is are you going to tell me you

00:52:26.760 don't see it are you gonna tell me you watch rachel maddow and joy reid and joe scarborough and you

00:52:32.360 don't see really really obvious mental illness you don't see it can you actually say that to me it's

00:52:40.760 screamingly obvious and here's how i check myself the cnn i i don't see it in other places it's very

00:52:49.400 unique to their situation and i think they need to disclose whether they're under the care of a

00:52:55.880 professional i would like to know if the person who's telling me what my reality is is capable of

00:53:02.840 understanding reality isn't that fair i think they should tell us if they're under the care of a

00:53:09.960 professional you know do you go to therapy and why wouldn't you like to know that because if they're

00:53:17.720 telling you what is real don't you want to know if they've got a grasp on what's real and i think they

00:53:23.640 don't uh to me it looks like they have legitimate mental health problems which by the way if if they

00:53:32.120 were to cop to them i would immediately change my tone and i would just go to empathy and i would

00:53:37.560 say god i hope you i hope you take care of that because that sounds terrible i mean a mental health

00:53:42.280 problem is just it's like being in hell so i have full empathy for whatever is going on um

00:53:51.480 it's just we need a little transparency here i think it would be good for the country

00:53:57.560 all right um

00:54:01.160 olivia nuzzi nuzzi i don't know how to say her name either um she talks about the conspiracy of 0.81

00:54:06.920 silence to protect the president she said in january i began hearing similar stories from democratic

00:54:12.360 officials activists and donors who came away from interactions with biden disturbed by what they had

00:54:18.360 seen and she said she's been writing about it for a while and it made me wonder i don't remember her

00:54:25.800 talking about it but you know maybe i don't see all the news so that's not a surprise and i wonder

00:54:32.440 should you revise your entire understanding of who to listen to in the future i would say yes

00:54:41.480 i would say anybody who looked at biden so obviously declining and told you with a straight face he's

00:54:48.440 fine you should never listen to them again i would go further and say that anybody who was an anti-biden

00:54:56.520 person who didn't also say and he's obviously declining mentally if they didn't tell you that

00:55:02.680 directly you should maybe not take them too seriously in the future but i'd like to call out a couple

00:55:09.480 people who for years have been saying biden's brain is fried right now you know you know some of them and

00:55:17.960 this is not a complete list but greg got felt how long has greg get greg gotfeld been telling you

00:55:26.440 loudly in public on his shows biden's brain is not there it's obvious so the next time he tells you

00:55:36.280 i'm looking at something and they're lying to you and i'll tell you what the truth is maybe you should

00:55:40.920 listen to him maybe you should because he got that right right how about jesse waters now jesse's one

00:55:50.040 of my favorite tv personalities because he knows when to be tongue-in-cheek and when to present a

00:55:55.400 character just for fun and but he also has lots of good serious um takes on stuff that are some of the

00:56:01.480 best you sometimes don't notice that his takes are among the best in the business because he does the

00:56:06.840 comedy thing that you know overshadows it but he too could see the decline right from the start

00:56:15.720 dana perino i'm sure same thing right um so just just take a mental note who who was calling this out

00:56:23.960 years ago and obviously i was as well and who was telling you there's no problem that's not fixable

00:56:32.840 you can't fix that if somebody lied to you about something so obvious four years you should never

00:56:39.160 believe anything they say again never that's not like being wrong being wrong is forgivable we all do it

00:56:49.400 but that wasn't being wrong that was lying to you about something you could see with your own eyes

00:56:55.160 four years so just make a mental note of who got it right all right so now you watch 98 of journalists

00:57:03.240 tell you that biden was fine even though obviously wasn't true will that have any impact on the people

00:57:09.560 who say but 98 of scientists say climate change is real it's a big problem do you think it'll have any

00:57:16.920 impact do you think people will begin to doubt at all what everybody tells them

00:57:25.320 i think they're going to say oh but you're talking about journalists yeah of course journalists can

00:57:29.640 be wrong but not scientists not scientists no one of the things we've learned is that you can't trust

00:57:37.640 anybody who gets a paycheck that depends on their opinion

00:57:43.480 that's the one thing we've learned the journalists couldn't get paid if they said biden was declining

00:57:51.480 because they were part of a entity that wanted you know a democrat spin on their news so that the 0.99

00:57:58.760 reporters were not dumb and stupid they knew exactly what they were doing and they lied to the country 0.99

00:58:07.160 while we could see the truth right in front of us and they never stopped until they had to you know 1.00

00:58:13.000 when he fell apart on the debate now like i say scientists are not journalists very different

00:58:20.360 people but the journalists knew the truth so in that way it would be more like scientists they weren't

00:58:28.360 they weren't wrong they knew the truth and they decided that their paycheck depended and maybe their

00:58:35.400 personal politics depended on them not telling you the truth so they lied almost all of them on the left

00:58:43.400 almost all of them what do you think is different about scientists if a scientist depends on

00:58:50.760 agreeing with the narrative in order to get a grant in order to get a job in order to please their boss

00:58:58.200 what would you predict would happen it's exactly the same as what happened with journalists

00:59:03.880 the science doesn't help them are you going to say but but scott they're scientists and they care 0.98

00:59:10.760 about the truth that's exactly what your fucking journalists would say we're journalists our job 0.95

00:59:17.000 is to tell you the truth with no spin just like the scientists unless our paycheck and our lifestyle 0.99

00:59:25.960 depends on it and then we're going to say what the narrative tells us

00:59:29.560 well it turns out that there are three papers recently wide awake media is reporting on this on x

00:59:39.320 and there are three new papers that are peer-reviewed

00:59:43.880 that collectively they say that 40 percent of what we observe as a heat increase is really the heat island

00:59:50.840 effect from thermometers being too near cities that are building out in the direction of where the

00:59:57.000 thermometers were in the first place 60 percent seems to match perfectly solar activity ouch

01:00:07.720 ouch yikes

01:00:10.120 now you're going to say to yourself but but it's just three studies there's still tons of studies that

01:00:19.960 would say climate change is real um

01:00:25.800 and

01:00:28.520 so i um i wonder if the people who believe the journalists whose job it is to tell you the truth

01:00:35.880 without the spin will maybe come to doubt the scientists whose job it is to tell you the truth

01:00:44.200 without the spin do you see the pattern yet

01:00:49.640 all that matters is who gives them the paycheck

01:00:53.240 that's the truth they will tell you it doesn't matter what their job is it doesn't matter if you're

01:00:57.640 a journalist it doesn't matter if you're a scientist it doesn't matter if you're a politician

01:01:01.560 you're going to tell the truth that your paycheck tells you to and we see it how about the pandemic

01:01:09.320 the pandemic was the clearest case you've ever seen the experts just caved they just caved

01:01:15.880 what's the narrative how do i get a paycheck okay that's the truth

01:01:21.960 searchlight pictures presents the roses only in theaters august 29th from the director of meet the

01:01:27.720 parents and the writer of poor things comes the roses starring academy award winner olivia coleman

01:01:33.800 academy award nominee benedict cumberbatch andy sandberg kate mckinnon and allison janney a hilarious

01:01:39.960 new comedy filled with drama excitement and a little bit of hatred proving that marriage isn't always

01:01:45.880 a bed of roses see the roses only in theaters august 29th get tickets now

01:01:50.760 i think climate change is getting ready to crumble and that would be the ultimate third act

01:01:58.360 for for trump the ultimate third act climate change is a hoax

01:02:07.640 yeah that's the ultimate and it's coming apparently it's coming now again i would like to remind you

01:02:16.840 i'm not a climate experts and i don't know if the climate is getting warmer or not and if humans

01:02:22.280 make a difference i'm just telling you what the science is saying and then there's some modern

01:02:27.560 recent papers that debunk the whole thing are they right why would i say that the new ones are right

01:02:35.000 when i'm saying all the old ones are wrong because it agrees with me right

01:02:39.000 do your bias check on me you know do use the tools i tell you to use on me is it is it credible that

01:02:49.240 there are three new papers who agree with me so i talk about them no you shouldn't take them as true

01:02:55.320 because i'm talking about them or because they agree with me or because they agree with you if you

01:03:00.120 didn't believe the 10 000 papers that said climate change was real are you just going to automatically

01:03:05.800 believe this believe the three that say they're not that it's not it's a little too early to celebrate

01:03:12.200 if if that's what the way it's going but i do observe that we didn't see three papers debunking

01:03:19.400 climate change that were peer-reviewed and there's no more there's no major pushback in other words what

01:03:25.880 you're not seeing the dog not barking is people saying look at the terrible quality of these three papers

01:03:32.760 how could you believe this look at the mistakes they made look at the bad data

01:03:40.680 it might happen and if you see that pushback you should take it seriously

01:03:45.080 all right you got to see both sides don't do the documentary effect where you see a documentary and

01:03:50.120 then you think you know everything you got to see the documentary that says that one's wrong

01:03:54.200 and then maybe you can triangulate on the truth but don't get too cocky just because some papers agreed

01:04:00.840 with you all right um peter hassan uh has a good take on what kamala is going to have to answer

01:04:11.320 she's gonna if she becomes the top of the ticket which i believe she is already essentially so uh she's 0.98

01:04:18.520 going to have to answer the question when she knew the president wasn't up to the job

01:04:26.840 what she did about it

01:04:30.840 and why she repeatedly told us that he was fine

01:04:36.360 yes peter hassan those are exactly the right questions

01:04:39.240 if she can't answer those questions could you trust her with the nuclear codes

01:04:49.080 those are really really good questions i've often thought that the public should be more involved in

01:04:56.840 coming up with good questions uh often you see the media doing their interviews and you say oh you

01:05:02.360 didn't ask the right question there there should be some kind of like website or something where

01:05:08.200 people you know compete for the best question and then if you're a journalist you know you check it in

01:05:14.600 the morning say all right what do people want to know oh shoot they're all asking why didn't kamala

01:05:19.880 tell us earlier that's a good question i'll ask that question so i think the media actually could use

01:05:25.880 a boost and you've seen me do it a bunch of times you know on on my live streams i'll say here's the

01:05:32.200 question that should be asked usually it doesn't get asked but you can see that if you could help the

01:05:39.320 media ask the right question i feel like that would drive us a little bit closer to the truth

01:05:47.880 all right as uh jeff clark who's a great follow on uh on x he was one of the trump related attorneys

01:05:55.080 who got in trouble and now he's just going nuclear with his opinions in a real productive way because

01:06:00.760 he has excellent opinions and insights and stuff but he says here's how you know we have a controlled

01:06:05.560 media so he says there's a nbc cbs abc cnn what washington post new york times bbs i could go on

01:06:13.160 all of these ostensibly uh ostensible competitors uh emphasis on the word ostensible he says for a

01:06:21.080 truly competitive market one or more of them would have said joe biden has dementia if they were

01:06:27.240 competing and they all knew what the truth was and their business is to tell you the truth

01:06:36.920 one of them would try to make money by telling you the truth because that's their business model

01:06:42.200 isn't it it isn't telling you accurate truthful things that turn out to check out later

01:06:47.720 that's what makes you money if you're in the news business well clearly they do not operate like a

01:06:54.440 news business they operate operate like a cartel and that's no longer in doubt it is pure cartel

01:07:04.280 behavior there's nothing like a competitive environment now that's why roger ailes was so brilliant

01:07:11.080 when he said all we need to do is show a show that's not part of the cartel and you're going to have like

01:07:16.440 half of the country watching it because it's so obvious that the cartel is you know not giving

01:07:21.880 you news um and sure enough that's why fox news is the number one entity it's not because most people

01:07:29.960 agree with it it's because they even get more democrats watching fox news than a lot of the

01:07:36.600 you know left-leaning news because it's the only place you can see an alternate story

01:07:41.320 you know true or false it's the alternative story all right um

01:07:49.800 so uh mark levin sums it up on x he said the same media that told us biden didn't have dementia 0.98

01:07:55.960 now tell us harris isn't stupid

01:08:00.920 that's you couldn't sum it up better than that by the way i tell you all the time 0.97

01:08:05.560 that the difference between humor and an accurate summary is very small

01:08:12.840 here's a perfect so levin is giving you an accurate summary there's nothing to lie about

01:08:18.040 there's there's nothing to question the media did tell us biden didn't have dementia

01:08:23.800 and they are in fact telling us that harris isn't stupid and we can clearly see that neither of those

01:08:29.800 are true so he's simply summarizing the existing situation with nothing added and it makes you

01:08:35.880 laugh you see what i mean an accurate summary is what a joke is humor is an accurate summary of reality

01:08:45.720 and and uh mark levin obviously knows that so i would like to add one more thing to the obvious

01:08:53.800 level people it's not obvious that she's drunk in public

01:09:02.920 i'm not the only one noticing that all right are we going to just have a repeat in four years

01:09:08.440 where the where the press is going to say you know we saw her drinking her lunch all the time we 1.00

01:09:15.000 saw her acting like she doesn't act when she's not drunk in public yeah she was drunk as hell am i 1.00

01:09:21.240 supposed to not notice that she acts exactly like a drunk person but not all the time which is exactly

01:09:28.280 the tell for a drunk person if somebody if she act like this all the time then i'd say oh oh that's 1.00

01:09:34.760 maybe just how she acts because she probably wouldn't be drunk all the time but you see those laughing

01:09:42.120 things and the the weird things she says every now and then those are clearly drunk

01:09:47.000 do you agree now you could you could say it's some other form of inebriation but i'll just use drunk

01:09:55.080 to handle the other forms as well probably alcohol my guess is alcohol it looks like alcohol so how

01:10:02.040 many of you would agree because because to me it's screamingly obvious that she's drunk in public

01:10:08.360 on a regular basis do you disagree i'm looking at the comments because i don't know if you do

01:10:13.160 do you agree that you know some of it is just who she is a lot of it is just obviously drunk and

01:10:21.880 they're just not telling us you think you think the press doesn't know that she's drinking her lunch

01:10:28.760 of course they know of course they know they're doing it to you again and um as much as i love

01:10:37.400 mark levin's summary i think i think he buried the lead the lead is drunk that's the lead

01:10:48.360 if you don't deal with that question and deal with it seriously you're gonna have a drunk president

01:10:54.840 and that's a pretty big contrast to somebody who has never had a sip of alcohol running against you

01:10:59.640 i mean it's a big contrast now i don't think that trump can say she's drunk you know maybe he can

01:11:06.680 say she looks drunk but that would be a little too far you know beyond what is a proven thing it's not

01:11:13.160 proven i just think it's obvious right anyway i guess we'll keep ignoring that um here's what i think

01:11:21.240 i think america is now experiencing a form of massive gel man amnesia i talk about this a lot because if

01:11:28.280 you don't understand what this is the whole world is confusing so gel man was name of a famous physicist

01:11:35.320 you've most of you have heard this before who noticed that when he read a story about physics

01:11:40.840 his own expertise he knew it was bullshit but when he read the very next story about anything else

01:11:49.080 he just assumed it was true and then one day after seeing this pattern reoccur that the physics 0.88

01:11:55.400 stories were always wrong but he thought everything else was right being the smart physicist that he was

01:12:01.880 he said wait a minute isn't it slightly more likely that all the news is wrong all the time

01:12:10.120 and i only notice it when it's my own area of expertise and that's exactly what's happening

01:12:17.400 the news is pretty much fake all the time when it's the big geopolitical stuff

01:12:21.880 it's not fake when it says there's a hurricane right hurricanes real it's not fake when it says

01:12:26.360 somebody died they died but it's fake when they put the spin on it the narrative that sort of stuff

01:12:32.680 so here's what's happening um to the entire country

01:12:40.440 so we have this situation where democrats now know completely with certainty regular democrat voters they

01:12:48.760 know with certainty that the entire media lied to them about a critical critical thing and they

01:12:55.640 know it wasn't a mistake that's important they know it wasn't a mistake they know they were lied to

01:13:03.000 for years by their trusted media will the gel man approach kick in and make all the democrats think 0.99

01:13:11.560 well that was just that one story because that that's what gel man amnesia would be it's like well

01:13:19.000 okay i guess they got that one thing wrong but this other story is real will they or will it cure them

01:13:28.520 will it cure them like like gel man cured himself which is noticing the pattern wait whenever i can know

01:13:36.040 for sure what the truth is such as watching the debate then you can know for sure what the truth was

01:13:41.720 it doesn't match what i was told how often is that going to happen how often am i going to notice

01:13:50.360 that i can see with my own eyes that what they're telling me is not real how many times do you notice

01:13:55.960 that before you realize that's the normal it's not the exception that's everything all the time if it's

01:14:03.000 important if it's important there's somebody with money who's going to make you lie about it

01:14:08.120 might be your boss might be your advertisers but if it's important somebody with a lot of money

01:14:15.240 is going to force you to lie about it that's the reality that we live in

01:14:20.840 and tomorrow they're going to wake up and they're going to see their story about 97

01:14:24.520 of scientists saying climate change is real and they're going to say that's probably true

01:14:28.920 look at all those people on the same side

01:14:33.400 gel man amnesia in in in uh the biggest possible sense

01:14:39.720 well let's see um uh molly hemingway is uh pointing us at peter baker who's a new york times

01:14:51.640 chief white house correspondent and uh peter baker said this he said uh one party has a candidate who

01:14:59.960 is really old and showing it the other has a candidate who is a convicted felon uh adjudicated 0.94

01:15:06.440 sexual abuser a business fraudster and self-described aspiring dictator for a day and also really old 0.65

01:15:14.040 one party wants to replace its candidate the other does not molly hemingway 0.99

01:15:22.360 had this comment about that comment she said i wonder what the new york times chief white house

01:15:27.480 correspondent peter baker's personal politics are there's simply no way you can tell from his reporting

01:15:33.560 or tweeting oh wait it's all propaganda all the way down is it well let's look at his claims do you

01:15:41.640 think he would make any claims that are obviously a lie like just obviously well let's see he said uh

01:15:49.800 one is a convicted felon that's not true because until the judge certifies it it's not a convicted felon

01:15:57.880 and given recent changes it's unlikely or at least it's a coin flip whether it will ever happen he's not

01:16:05.960 a convicted felon and you're the chief and but the uh chief white house correspondent for the paper of

01:16:14.360 record just said he was and yet it's factually easily determined to be not true you don't have to be a

01:16:23.000 news person or a scientist just google it is is he technically a felon or does something else have to

01:16:29.960 happen before he would be you can find out for yourself it's just not true how about he's an

01:16:36.680 educated sexual abuser adjudicated why why would you say he's an adjudicated sexual abuser why wouldn't

01:16:44.840 you say sexual abuser why because the case was a civil trial not a not a criminal and the claimant

01:16:55.320 is not credible in my opinion and lots of other people's opinions so we don't actually know if he

01:17:01.000 sexually abused anybody and honestly it sounds pretty unlikely to me the the specific claim so he has to

01:17:07.800 say it's adjudicated which means that a was it a new york jury found him guilty so in other words

01:17:17.640 people who don't like trump in the unfriendliest trump place decided it was slightly more true that

01:17:23.800 this woman was telling the truth and therefore he had to pay some money so the new york times instead of

01:17:29.480 saying it's a it's a he said she said situation they say he's a adjudicated sexual abuser because if you

01:17:37.800 don't know the story you'd say oh i guess the evidence showed in a criminal case that he's a criminal abuser

01:17:45.080 nope nope it's a claim with a very low level of credibility doesn't mean it's fake but if you're a

01:17:55.400 journalist and you act like it's credible that's not true and remember credible doesn't mean

01:18:03.000 true or not true it just means on the surface is this something you would trust

01:18:10.680 they say he's a business fraudster was that because of the belief that he exaggerated his

01:18:18.760 assets exactly the way everybody does in that business and the bank didn't care and they knew it

01:18:24.200 was an exaggeration because everybody exaggerates so they check themselves as they always do so

01:18:28.760 there was no fraud whatsoever and they'd be happy to work with him or was he talking about trump

01:18:34.280 university which was definitely a sketchy situation but where's the reporting on how much trump knew

01:18:44.040 do you think trump was getting into the details of trump university do you think he looked at the

01:18:48.920 documents and talked to the people who took the course i doubt it the only thing we know for sure

01:18:55.160 is that he owned something that went bad he didn't manage it he wasn't in charge that was somebody he

01:19:03.080 worked with so yes he has to take the hit for getting into business with somebody who didn't do a good job

01:19:09.880 he has about 400 businesses some of them go bad

01:19:13.960 but you wouldn't see that context and uh the uh chief white house correspondent for the new york times

01:19:24.040 says that he's a self-described aspiring dictator for a day

01:19:30.760 you don't think that you have some responsibility to your readers to say that the self-described

01:19:37.640 aspiring dictator for a day was not at all serious and no serious person could think it was serious

01:19:44.440 but here it is in the new york times uh ish i mean it's coming from a new york times person

01:19:51.320 that's the sort of thing that people who read the new york times think is true imagine just imagine if

01:19:58.120 the new york times were your main source of news just imagine how how confused you'd be about everything

01:20:04.760 anyway um

01:20:12.200 so over in great britain uh i think the labor party had a big win in their election

01:20:18.840 that's still correct right i saw the early reporting last night so the labor party got the big win

01:20:25.320 and i said to myself oh so you mean that great britain actually voted to destroy itself

01:20:34.920 because i couldn't understand how the labor party that i thought was left-leaning would be an upgrade

01:20:41.880 to the problems that are destroying their country to me it looked like it would accelerate the

01:20:47.160 destruction of the country i don't know because i don't follow politics at all in in great britain so i

01:20:54.840 don't really know what's going on so i you know posted did great britain just vote on july 4th ironically

01:21:02.360 to destroy their country i think he had a couple of million views because people were weighing in

01:21:08.760 and some people who live there were trying to explain to me how this works

01:21:15.000 i don't understand it but apparently the conservative party was not doing the job so they voted in the party

01:21:26.360 that has the opposite opinions of what they want because they think that will somehow destroy it

01:21:33.800 and then everything will be destroyed and then they'd have some chance of building back something that works

01:21:39.480 now that sounds bad shit crazy to me or poorly explained so that maybe the problem is on my end

01:21:48.360 but is something like that happening is there some kind of weird thing where britain is trying to destroy 0.91

01:21:53.800 their own system the voters are because it's all broken is that a real thing that's happening

01:22:01.320 they're literally trying to vote for the wrong team to destroy the system

01:22:07.400 i i i don't know don't don't believe anything i said about this because none of it makes sense to me

01:22:13.960 i guess nigel farage i got a seat

01:22:20.360 yeah now it does have something to do with you know who gets to team up with who

01:22:27.880 i'm lost i mean i have no idea what they're doing over there

01:22:32.120 but if somebody can explain it to me in simple terms i love it

01:23:35.240 please play responsibly rasmussen says that 48 of democrat voters um or at least somewhat agree

01:23:44.680 that biden should step aside so almost half of democrats think he should step aside and um of course

01:23:51.800 you know 62 percent you know 62 percent of republicans 62 percent of republicans

01:23:58.520 if you have to if you ever wondered do republicans lie to pollsters you don't have to wonder anymore

01:24:09.960 you really think that 38 percent of republicans think that biden is capable of doing the job

01:24:20.040 no no they lied because they want to keep him in because he's easy to beat they want the polls to say

01:24:26.200 oh yeah oh yeah you should probably keep him in he looks pretty strong i don't see a problem

01:24:31.960 what problem cognitive decline i don't even know what you're talking about i don't see a cognitive decline

01:24:38.520 keep him in there keep him in there he's gonna he's the only one who ever beat trump

01:24:43.640 so he's really your best bet he's the only one who ever beat trump that makes perfect sense

01:24:49.480 it's logical it's logical you know just because he doesn't have a brain anymore

01:24:55.880 doesn't mean he can't beat trump again be logical 0.98

01:24:59.080 all right uh so i love the fact that republicans are so devious they just freaking lie to pollsters

01:25:11.480 whenever it's a strategic benefit they just lie which to me is funny all right here's a test

01:25:18.920 how many people polled think biden won the debate

01:25:24.760 how many people polled think biden won the debate

01:25:30.040 you know oh you know you know 22 percent yeah 22 percent

01:25:42.200 boy i'd hate to meet that 22 percent

01:25:46.920 anyway so there's a uh other polling new york times poll that says that trump got a big bump uh from men

01:25:57.720 so uh likely male voters

01:26:04.360 at least the young men especially the young men with no college

01:26:07.960 uh big increase moving toward uh almost doubled moving toward trump

01:26:13.960 now who's the first person in the public domain who told you that democrats

01:26:22.200 are the party of women and that there would be a mass exodus of men away from it 0.84

01:26:29.400 i think it was me i think i'm the first person to tell you and i started saying in maybe 2016

01:26:35.480 the the hillary clinton effect you know i it looked to me permanent and to me it looked like it would

01:26:42.680 just drive men away until it was nothing but women and and weak men which is basically what's happening 0.78

01:26:49.080 so here's my take i i agree with james carville the party of preachy women that's what he says 0.54

01:26:56.440 preachy women james carville says is driving men toward trump and record numbers

01:27:01.560 but i think that what's happening is that politics and logic have failed at every level

01:27:08.200 in a normal world you make decisions by politics and argument and logic in a perfect world

01:27:15.240 but that that world doesn't exist we've seen that politics has completely failed

01:27:20.360 because the entire media was lying to us about the most basic thing does his brain work if the media

01:27:26.680 is lying to you about the most basic things and you depend on a well-informed voters to make the system

01:27:33.480 work you can conclude that politics is completely broken and i don't see a quick fix

01:27:40.120 so if politics is completely broken you know the where you get information and make good decisions

01:27:48.120 and logic and reason have been thrown out the door because we're just being gaslighted about

01:27:54.360 what we see isn't real what do you do the if you were going to see that on paper like if somebody

01:28:01.640 described that to you and you were just an alien trying to decide what would happen next you'd probably

01:28:07.240 say if you knew what humans are that we would revert to a biological truth so if you take away our let's

01:28:15.560 say our higher level thinking all right we're going to use some logic we're going to do a little a b

01:28:21.880 testing if you take that all away you get down to just biological urge and that's where we are and

01:28:30.360 that's the basis for my prediction that once politics is completely debunked as it is now

01:28:38.520 that people would act biologically and men have a biological instinct to seek what i call the fortress

01:28:47.560 personality that's trump he's like a fortress as a personality meaning that he's the strongest

01:28:57.160 male player in a situation that looks perilous the strongest male player in a situation that looks

01:29:05.880 perilous will be a magnet for strong men because strong men will sense the fight you can feel it

01:29:16.280 there's a fight coming might be physical hope it isn't but you can feel the fight and when you feel

01:29:24.280 the fight you put down your video games you put down your toys and you find the strongest leader

01:29:35.080 because it's time to fight men are leaving the democrat party because they need a champion

01:29:42.840 and there's only one there's only one strong male who says here are our problems i'm going to go like hell 0.71

01:29:50.040 at them like i'm going to attack the border problem i'm going to solve your war with ukraine 0.93

01:29:57.000 i'm going to save you economically and biologically men can't resist that we we are pack animals and we

01:30:06.920 like leaders and by the way if there is no leader one of us will step up we like it when there's a better

01:30:13.800 leader than us most of the time but if there is none we step up we'll do it right it's just biological

01:30:21.400 so women are in their own world they've got their own concerns i can't say that i understand them 1.00

01:30:26.840 completely i can see why they're you know afraid of trump if they've listened to their own news i mean

01:30:31.960 if they believe their own news you can see why women would be afraid of trump right but the problem is

01:30:38.200 they believe their own news now that the news is completely debunked in my opinion i think young

01:30:43.880 men and non-college educated men that in the numbers are backing it up are just going to start flocking

01:30:50.760 to what is real and what is strong and what could potentially save us from complete destruction

01:30:58.120 i don't know that women have the same instincts i don't know i don't think so i think women are built for 1.00

01:31:05.960 empathy and you know doing the things that women are uniquely qualified to do and i think men are

01:31:11.800 built to fight we're built to defend we're built we're built to kill stuff when it needs to be killed

01:31:19.640 so you're seeing a complete abandonment of that higher level thinking among young men and they're

01:31:25.960 just moving toward power just moving toward power you don't have to be afraid of it

01:31:31.480 because it's a it's a good force it's a force against bullshit it's a force against evil it's a 0.99

01:31:40.040 force against everything stupid and it's happening and i'm going to go further into the provocative and 1.00

01:31:47.720 i don't think america can recover until men stop giving a fuck about the opinions of bad 1.00

01:31:55.640 shit crazy women you should definitely care about the opinions of women who are not crazy 1.00

01:32:02.040 there are a lot of republican women for example perfectly normal people you should listen to them 1.00

01:32:07.720 they're on your side they're siding with the men so of course you should listen to them so it's not 0.99

01:32:13.720 about women it's about bad shit crazy women now of course because we live in a terrible terrible world 1.00

01:32:21.080 if i'm quoted on this it will be quoted as i'm talking bad shit about women right because the 1.00

01:32:27.880 the idiots the fucking idiots will say ah he hates all women don't listen to that guy but i think you 1.00

01:32:36.760 know how this is played now right you can't tell the truth without getting canceled but too bad 1.00

01:32:43.880 fuckers you already canceled me i can tell the truth the problem in the united states is batshit 1.00

01:32:49.000 fucking crazy women and men who won't tell them they're batshit crazy rachel maddow you're 1.00

01:32:55.320 fucking crazy you're batshit crazy i don't want to listen to you joy reed you're fucking crazy 1.00

01:33:01.320 you're batshit crazy i don't want to listen to you molly hemingway you're awesome one of the 1.00

01:33:08.200 smartest people i know if you got something that sounds like a good idea i'm listening to you 0.98

01:33:13.480 listening to you big time absolutely dana perino you got some good ideas i'm gonna listen to you

01:33:21.640 totally listen to you it's not about women it's about batshit crazy women and if you can't make 1.00

01:33:29.400 that distinction and you can't say it out loud you're fucked the whole country's fucked you gotta call 1.00

01:33:37.800 out the batshit crazy women now i know what you're gonna say you're gonna say but but but what about 1.00

01:33:43.480 the men because there are lots of democrat men not really not really all all these smart democrat 0.94

01:33:50.680 men have already capitulated they've already said we don't have a candidate right it's only the the weak 0.98

01:33:59.160 feminine men who are still siding with the batshit crazy people because they're too weak 1.00

01:34:03.480 they they don't know how to break free and it will take the young men who don't give a fuck 1.00

01:34:10.520 to break free until the republican party is just so dominant that they can get what they want 1.00

01:34:17.400 so bash your crazy women you're giving all of your power away you just don't know it 0.99

01:34:22.600 because you've jumped the shark everybody can see it now it's completely transparent the entire media 0.99

01:34:30.200 landscape than the democrats were all lying to you about everything and it's all out there now

01:34:38.280 but here's the thing we should all try to avoid and i'm going to try to avoid this in my ongoing

01:34:43.800 conversations with michael ian black who i'm finding amazingly brave and flexible in his thinking

01:34:50.760 if you don't agree with that i'll make you agree well i'll work on you

01:34:54.680 there's something amazingly productive happening um about my conversation with him both public and 0.94

01:35:02.920 private uh he's you know very firmly in the democrat preference camp but not crazy not stupid not crazy 0.53

01:35:13.880 and not lying none of those things he actually has just been getting different news in new york 0.92

01:35:19.560 and as he shares his news with me and i find out holy shit i've been lied to um these revisions of 0.51

01:35:27.320 the employment numbers they go both ways i didn't know that i thought they almost always went one way

01:35:32.360 he corrected me now as long as i'm willing to be corrected and do it publicly you know take my take

01:35:39.560 my shame he's he did it too you saw during actually he led he led this he was more of the leader

01:35:46.600 so during the debate when the fine people hoax came up he debunked it because i'd provided and

01:35:53.320 you had provided some new information that he just hadn't seen and with the new information he modified

01:35:58.680 his opinion didn't change his preference for who was president but he understood that the major hoax

01:36:06.360 was a hoax and he called it out publicly to his credit so somebody asked me earlier why do i keep

01:36:12.360 saying he's brave you couldn't do that you try try publicly saying that something that you'd believe

01:36:21.480 for a long time was completely wrong that's not easy that's not easy do you know how much mocking he

01:36:28.760 got for for saying i just figured that out well it should be the same amount you should give me for

01:36:35.000 just figuring out that those uh those employment numbers can go both ways in the adjustments

01:36:41.160 yeah we we deserve your a little bit of mocking but we can take it apparently apparently we're both

01:36:46.680 able to take it so then it could be productive because we can take the take the embarrassment

01:36:52.600 so uh props to uh michael but here's something that he and i both need to be better at which is uh

01:36:58.680 uh assuming that the worst five percent on each side represent the rest of them right the the worst

01:37:09.720 five percent of republicans and conservatives are terrible people the worst five percent of democrats 0.97

01:37:17.800 are terrible people 0.54

01:37:20.840 can we agree on that in fact i see the worst five percent of both sides is basically the same people

01:37:28.680 like the the words are a little different but they're the same people right they're not they're

01:37:33.560 not the people you should be listening to whether it's left or right but we both he and i both have

01:37:39.080 a little bit too much habit of feeling the generalization from the worst five percent so i'm going

01:37:45.720 to try to break that um might be hard that ladies and gentlemen is all i wanted to tell you

01:37:53.160 about the news today what a day tons of stuff happening um i ran really long and i apologize

01:38:00.840 for that but it was worth it it was so good and uh people on locals i'm going to talk to you privately

01:38:07.160 for just a minute for just a minute but the rest of you on rumble and uh youtube and x thanks for joining
