00:01:08.740 that's right i'm wearing the coffee with scott adams official beanie and you're saying to yourself

00:01:18.160 but but i thought you were tim pool no i'm not i'm not i'm not tim pool see the glasses

00:01:25.300 that's how you can tell us apart uh but also i've i'm rocking this coffee with scott adams beanie hat

00:01:32.760 and it's the best thing ever if you're wondering where you can get one i never remember the url but

00:01:39.080 if you just look for a coffee with scott adams merchandise it'll pop right up with coffee mugs and

00:01:46.200 shirts and stuff like that now uh as soon as i put this on i thought to myself hey maybe i should sign

00:01:55.240 up for a dating site now that i got my got my cover story there and somebody say i might be interested

00:02:03.240 in you but are you going bald and i'd say there's no evidence of that

00:02:12.360 so get your beanie and get dating men women too 1.00

00:02:17.000 according to uh scy post uh did you know that science is determined in a study small study but

00:02:27.960 using negative words predicts depression and anxiety severity over time huh yes you could have saved a

00:02:37.160 little bit of time simply by asking scott uh scott do do sad people use uh sad words

00:02:46.760 and i would say yes and then they say all right okay makes sense to how about uh people with uh

00:02:55.880 anxiety do people with anxiety use happy words or maybe some negative words and i would look at them

00:03:03.240 and i'd say more negative words and they would say oh god you just saved us a lot of money we were

00:03:10.920 going to study that no don't study it just ask scott i can save science so much money so much

00:03:21.640 you're going to need that money for eggs here's another one according to medical express the story

00:03:27.720 and medical express there's a study that says that a dog owner and the dog they end up sinking their

00:03:36.680 emotional state yeah it's true that uh if you get all excited your dog will get excited and if you're

00:03:45.880 calm your dog will be calm i wonder how much they spent on that

00:03:51.880 because you know what else they could have done yeah they could have just asked me or they could

00:03:58.440 have just watched a tv show called the dog whisper the entire hit show was based on the fact that

00:04:05.960 humans are the ones who control how the dogs feel so if the human can controls themselves the dog is

00:04:12.520 better and by the way 100 of people who own dogs knew this a long time ago i'm going to tell you

00:04:21.240 something that i do that uses this concept do you ever wake up it's like three in the morning

00:04:29.000 and for whatever reason your your body is overclocking you you're it's usually your mind but you feel like

00:04:36.760 your body is overclocked like your your heart's a little too fast and you don't think you can go back

00:04:41.720 to sleep here's what i do i get out of bed i go find my dog who by then is sound asleep i pick her up

00:04:52.440 she wakes up a little bit but not completely and then i lay her down on the couch and i i snuggle her

00:05:00.360 do you know why i do that that the moment i snuggle my dog my heart rate goes and it matches the dog

00:05:11.480 now i've known this for years and i use this very specifically to lower my heart rate and go back

00:05:17.800 to sleep and it works every time because the dog isn't going to get more excited because she's so

00:05:23.000 asleep so i so i use her as my my pacing mechanism so i just become whatever the dog's point of view is

00:05:31.480 and then i can fall right back to sleep works perfectly so you didn't need to study it

00:05:36.680 did you know that uh there's some according to utah state university they've got some biochemists

00:05:46.120 who have a breakthrough where they could make some crops they haven't done it yet but it looks like they

00:05:50.520 can make crops that can fertilize itself with sunlight what so the biggest breakthroughs in feeding the

00:06:00.840 world probably besides water is fertilizer if we did not have modern fertilizers we would not be 0.82

00:06:08.520 anywhere near able to feed the world as easily as we do anyway so yeah but there's also a fertilizer

00:06:16.360 shortage and it's also hard to give fertilizer to some you know rural poor places like the middle

00:06:22.040 of africa for example so if they can build plants that somehow can convert sunlight into their own source

00:06:31.880 of fertilizer and uh anyway so that that might happen that would be a big deal especially for home farming

00:06:46.360 all right uh as you know you've heard that some of the democrat uh governors are trying to do what

00:06:52.360 they call trump proof their state in other words they're trying to make laws or regulations that are hard

00:06:58.840 to unwind uh if they believe that trump will try to unwind them for them so newsom is one of these

00:07:05.800 people he called an emergency session in in my state here in california and that he's going to prepare

00:07:13.240 for potential attacks on the golden state's civil rights on abortion protections climate actions and who

00:07:20.120 knows what else now here's my take on that i could not be more entertained by how much democrats don't

00:07:30.280 understand what's happening are you having that same experience now to be fair it caught me off guard too

00:07:39.960 i i wasn't expecting as big a win and and as comprehensive a win across the senate and maybe the house

00:07:46.840 um i was predicting i was predicting that trump would win on votes so i did actually predict he

00:07:53.800 would win on the popular vote but i didn't think it would be as you know as conclusive and as obvious

00:08:01.560 as it is but now that it is correct me if i'm wrong it makes everything look different doesn't it

00:08:08.920 so let me let me give you an example if trump had won the minority of votes in other words lost the

00:08:17.400 popular vote but he had squeaked by in the electoral college and everybody would say uh electoral college

00:08:24.200 it's not a perfect system i'm not sure he's the most credible leader because he got in through that

00:08:30.360 weird little system that some of us want to get rid of but if you win the popular vote and then your

00:08:37.080 governor says we're going to try to thwart the will of the majority

00:08:46.840 wait why is my state trying to thwart the will of the majority now i guess states rights and states

00:08:57.720 you know get to do their own thing to some degree but does does it feel right it doesn't feel right does

00:09:05.000 it and and if trump had only won the electoral college but not the popular vote i would have

00:09:11.400 said all right well you know you've got a little bit of backing for that because you could say well

00:09:16.200 we don't all want that but when the majority the majority picks somebody and gives them a mandate

00:09:24.760 that's not when you say we're all going to get on the other side 0.98

00:09:27.800 so it just seems i don't know stupid or pathetic or um tone deaf and also the things that they think 0.98

00:09:39.880 they're going to protect i don't even think it's real do you think that they need to protect the 0.99

00:09:45.720 state from anything that trump would do about abortion trump is so done with abortion

00:09:52.680 if there's one thing that trump doesn't want to ever do again is get anywhere near an abortion law

00:10:00.040 that would be crazy for him it's just pure loss he wants to stay out of it completely and yet the

00:10:06.920 state of california is like oh he's coming for us they can't even figure out they can't even figure

00:10:13.640 out where their biggest problems are like everything's identity we must stop trump from what he has no

00:10:22.360 interest in this topic whatsoever at least interest in terms of making the state change what they're doing

00:10:28.840 what was the other one though climate change well that might be just sort of a made-up problem

00:10:37.320 i don't know what trump would do specifically that would affect california and climate change but i

00:10:42.520 he could so that at least it seems like there's a real thing there but he's not going to affect

00:10:48.760 in a way that's going to destroy the planet but i don't think that's going to happen what's he going

00:10:53.960 to do tell tell california that maybe they should turn their nuclear power plants back on

00:11:01.640 how exactly is he going to hurt california so anyway the majority makes a difference

00:11:08.200 bill maher makes news again it is interesting how much of a signpost bill maher's show is that really i

00:11:18.200 i feel like we have to talk about it after every show because he does have this weird he's got this

00:11:24.360 weird real estate he's carved out where he can actually talk about both sides now he's still biased 0.56

00:11:30.760 and anti-trump to the point of being ridiculous but when he's not talking about trump specifically

00:11:36.680 where the bias is concentrated he can see the whole field and so watching him navigate that while he has an

00:11:43.640 audience of largely democrats is kind of fascinating because it's part of their awakening

00:11:52.280 but here's the perfect story he told this story last night apparently bill maher and woody harrelson

00:11:58.680 have partnered in owning a weed store in california so they own a store that sells marijuana

00:12:05.560 oh it's all legal of course and his weed store got broken into it got robbed this week it's in california

00:12:19.080 so if there's anything that can turn an old hippie into a conservative it's having your weed store robbed

00:12:26.920 now i don't want anybody's store to get robbed and i'm sure they had insurance and they can afford it

00:12:36.040 and all that but what could be a more perfect story to fit this moment in time when the entire democrat

00:12:45.720 philosophy as well as the party itself just disappeared i mean they just collapsed at the same time

00:12:51.800 and bill maher's pot store gets gets robbed

00:12:58.680 there's nothing funny about crime

00:13:03.000 said other people

00:13:06.760 he also said that this is also from bill maher he said that kamala underperformed in uh

00:13:12.680 every demographic group although she is still polling uh

00:13:16.120 polling well among illegal immigrants who want sex change operations

00:13:23.240 and then he said make no mistake this election was about uh the country's had enough of the anti-common 0.99

00:13:28.600 sense woke bullshit thank you thank you he but the trouble is that he still thinks 0.98

00:13:37.880 you know trump is the devil so so seeing him half awake you know that the the woke stuff is he's 0.96

00:13:45.320 always been on that page so i'll give him full credit for being anti-overwokeness 0.92

00:13:51.320 uh he's so close he's so close he's not pro-trump never will be i think but um i would say that he is

00:14:02.520 well let me put it this way um let me give it a golden age spin if i can

00:14:09.080 i think there might have been a time when bill maher's messaging and opinions were a negative for

00:14:16.440 the country in other words they were a little bit adding to the divisiveness you know sort of a

00:14:23.640 anti-trump which made trump trump lovers be a little anti-bill maher and wasn't really working

00:14:30.440 in the right direction i would say at the moment even despite him not being personally a trump fan

00:14:36.200 that his take on the topics and where the country is and where the democrats went wrong

00:14:42.760 is now solidly in the positive meaning that he's adding he's adding to the benefit of the country

00:14:51.000 he's using his free speech as he was before but i think now simply de-emphasizing trump as the devil

00:14:58.680 and simply saying hey democrats look what you got wrong you know maybe you ought to get right on this

00:15:05.000 stuff that's pure positive so every every time i see something tip trump's away it's starting to look

00:15:15.240 like a landslide within the landslide because there's something happens that's bigger than the election

00:15:20.360 you you see it internationally we'll talk about that you see it domestically there's a big mental change

00:15:27.640 that's happening and i think bill maher is part of the positive part of that right now uh i suppose

00:15:35.880 from zuby this is another example of how it helps to know the people if you don't know who zuby is

00:15:45.560 this might be interesting or funny to you if you do know who he is it helps it it just helps it because

00:15:50.840 you can imagine the person saying it like that just makes things funnier so this is what does zuby posted

00:15:56.360 today uh it's just one just one sentence people can stop pretending to like kamala harris now

00:16:09.080 that feels like that just that just got through all the noise right there's all the noise of politics

00:16:17.720 but somewhere at the at the bottom of all that noise didn't you suspect that people were only

00:16:23.800 pretending to like kamala harris well weren't you strongly suspecting that people sort of like trump

00:16:32.600 but they can't say it and they sort of didn't like harris but maybe they couldn't say it

00:16:37.800 now zuby has given you permission permission granted you may now stop pretending you like kamala harris

00:16:48.520 according to the wall street journal here's a story i don't trust

00:16:53.320 uh advisors to president trump uh president elect trump are drawing a plan hey can i make a deal with you

00:16:59.960 can i make a deal with all of you i think it's it's weird to call him president elect because he has been

00:17:09.880 president very soon he will be president he'll be a double president he is a president elect and i get

00:17:18.840 that and you know we respect biden's term and we respect the office of the presidency but i'm just going

00:17:25.480 to call him president trump is that okay because it feels like he's already exerting his energy over

00:17:32.360 the country and i feel like it's an extra word we don't need it so if you don't mind he's just

00:17:39.480 president trump and we'll drop the elect ontario the wait is over the gold standard of online casinos has

00:18:42.920 responsibly anyway so the wall street journal says that uh um his uh supporters or his advisors they call

00:18:54.120 them see here's where the trick is how many people do you think would call themselves trump's advisors

00:19:03.240 and and if the media says that you're his advisor does that make you his advisor

00:19:09.080 because here's my take president trump does not have advisors

00:19:16.680 that's my take and i'm going to develop that over the course of my live stream here he doesn't have

00:19:21.720 advisors he has a whole country and the thing that he does better than i think i've ever seen it done

00:19:30.360 maybe by far and maybe maybe nobody's even been in the game he reads the room he takes his lead from

00:19:39.400 the people he is he is genuinely a populist he's a populist in the sense that he says what do you think

00:19:47.000 what does everybody else think what's the best idea what's the who has a good idea to do something

00:19:52.440 about it so to call somebody president trump's advisor is a complete misunderstanding of what's happening in

00:20:02.760 the moment here's the moment every one of you is his advisor the election was his advisor

00:20:12.040 right every pundit on every channel everywhere every podcaster every guest of a podcast they are his

00:20:23.080 advisors and he treats them that way right so if you've got a better idea it's going to bubble up

00:20:29.960 through social media maybe some big account will give you a boost somebody on his team is going to see it

00:20:37.000 if they think it's a good idea boop boop boop boop boop right over to the oval office or wherever he is

00:20:44.120 and he's going to hear it so we have never seen this before and by the way i think i'm the only person

00:20:50.680 who ever talks about it to me it's one of the biggest most phenomenally impressive parts about the

00:20:57.320 country is that we could create or not create i mean he created himself but that there's this character

00:21:03.880 who's the perfect moment for the perfect time and he's plugged into the public and their their

00:21:11.640 collective intelligence in a way we've never seen never seen it so anyway but the point is uh that

00:21:20.040 wall street journal says his advisors are drawing up plans to carry out a mass deportation pledge

00:21:26.600 including discussing how to pay for it now i'm sure that the details of this story are true meaning

00:21:35.000 that somewhere there are trump supporters and they're drawing up plans for mass deportation

00:21:41.480 this does not mean there will be a mass deportation or that you know what it would look like

00:21:46.920 or that trump is even aware that his advisors are working on it so-called advisors because i'm also an

00:21:54.040 advisor because i say so i i just declared myself an advisor and let me give some advice

00:22:04.440 we have a gigantic national debt and an open border

00:22:11.960 if you simply work on president trump if you simply work on the most important things first

00:22:17.720 everything else is going to work out and you're good at that working at the the important things

00:22:24.040 first seal the border and stop the bleeding you got it got to put the tourniquet on we know you're

00:22:30.200 going to do that perfect then focus all of your resources on the criminals and deporting them we want

00:22:38.520 zero venezuelan gangs it's going to take all of your resources yes you might ask for some more funding

00:22:45.640 for the border but it's all going to go toward crime you've got to really get rid of the criminals

00:22:52.520 now maybe you could throw into the mix people who came in in the last 30 days you know they're

00:22:58.040 the easy ones like you just got here get out of here but by the time you're done with the the

00:23:04.200 biggest priorities closing that border getting rid of the criminals you're not gonna have any resources

00:23:10.200 left and you know what might not make much difference because if you close the border you stop the

00:23:17.000 problem the country will begin to absorb the excess migrants as we always have and let's be honest 1.00

00:23:27.080 if if republicans are being honest we've always said we're and here i'm caucusing with republicans i'm

00:23:34.840 technically a democrat but we've always said we're pro-immigration most people some are not but almost

00:23:42.760 all republicans are pro-immigration if you do it right if you do it right now it's not right that

00:23:49.000 a bunch of people came in illegally and you know then they get to establish themselves but if they got

00:23:54.680 jobs and they're paying taxes and they're not breaking the law and they've been here five or ten years

00:24:02.120 um i'm not sure i would support increasing the funding for the department of homeland security

00:24:10.520 to get rid of them you're gonna need all your resources just to keep people out and get rid of

00:24:15.800 the criminals so that's my advice and so wall street journal uh if you'd like to update your article

00:24:24.840 one of his advisors just said if you do all the top important things first the rest is going to work out

00:24:32.680 and we don't really have to scare the world now i don't think i need that i don't need trump to say

00:24:38.920 what i said because if he says he's gonna deport everyone that's gonna be a big part of stopping

00:24:46.680 people from coming in because why would you come in if you're just going to be deported in a month

00:24:51.880 there's no point so i don't think he needs to change his messaging but wall street journal you really

00:24:59.320 need to update your thinking there is no such thing as donald trump's advisors we're all his advisors

00:25:06.920 and he actually is listening to the public

00:25:08.920 all right uh also from the wall street journal uh i saw a headline that said that trump's election win

00:25:20.440 made the difference between the white house and potentially going to prison

00:25:24.040 now i think we agree with that factually that if he had not been elected he might have been put in

00:25:32.120 prison and some say that other people would have been put in prison um maybe but there's a good

00:25:39.080 chance that he would have been however i'm going to quibble with the wall street journal headline

00:25:44.680 so here's their headline donald trump's election win made the difference between going to the white

00:25:50.120 house and potentially going to prison now if you read that that sounds like he's a bad guy who found

00:25:57.640 a technical way around the law to thwart the will of the people and the department of justice here's

00:26:04.840 what the headline could have been and you tell me if this would not be a fairly factual by the way

00:26:12.360 can we get rid of island boy six six nine nine um if my engineer has power where he lives

00:26:24.600 i don't know if he's just being a troll or whatever but it looks like on the rumble platform

00:26:31.800 just somebody's spamming us right now anyway so here's what the headline could have been

00:26:37.160 lawfare failed the the charges against trump in my opinion were completely lawfare just 100 lawfare

00:26:47.960 so the wall street journal could have said that the illegitimate lawfare attempts to take

00:26:53.560 out on the candidate failed wouldn't that be the same story why would you put it this way that makes

00:26:59.720 it sound like he's a criminal and he's he found a clever way to avoid jail that's not the world i lived in

00:27:07.720 i did not live in the world where he was a criminal avoiding jail i lived in the world in which the

00:27:13.720 government were the criminals and they were trying to put somebody in jail that maybe technically did

00:27:19.640 some crimes but we're all aware that nobody would have pursued him because there were no victims you 0.92

00:27:27.000 know these are completely victimless ridiculous you know even the banks that no we don't care we'd love

00:27:32.680 to do business with them so headline fails wall street journal 0.89

00:27:40.840 so iran has said that they were not behind the assassination attempt so our government has told

00:27:47.240 us that they have thwarted a so-called iranian plot to assassinate trump as well as a number of other

00:27:55.800 prominent people and some iranian critics i guess so we've got the united states government

00:28:02.920 saying that iran was plotting to kill trump and we've got the ayatollah saying no we were not behind it

00:28:10.520 whose side are you going to take do you trust the u.s government on a question of uh trump assassination

00:28:19.240 or would you trust yeah the the leader of basically the the main funder of terrorists in the world

00:28:26.200 are are are mortal enemies no they're not really are mortal enemies but who do you trust

00:28:34.680 i gotta go with iran you know good work good work intelligence people great work

00:28:43.080 can you believe i have to be in this position that i have to be in a position where i'm going to doubt

00:28:47.960 my own government's intelligence because they have a bad track record and the thing that they're claiming 0.99

00:28:56.040 is fucking ridiculous at what point did iran ever start acting crazy well you know they have a 0.96

00:29:04.200 religious belief that's not your religious belief but you know that that's sort of baseline differences 1.00

00:29:09.720 between people but when did they start acting like they wanted their whole country to be destroyed in a

00:29:15.160 nuclear fireball then never never they're they're dangerous they're very dangerous but they're not

00:29:24.760 crazy do you know what would have been crazy for them to authorize an assassination of trump

00:29:32.200 there's nothing that would be more dangerous for iran and for their own lives they would die for sure

00:29:37.240 than doing that so i don't think there's really any chance that it came from leadership in iran

00:29:43.800 there is a chance that it was an iranian guy maybe he had a backer you know but it didn't sound

00:29:52.040 at all like an iranian plot to kill trump and then the other tell is that the so-called plotter had a

00:29:58.680 kill list so it was like a list of people you would kill that doesn't sound like a plot to kill the

00:30:05.400 president at all and i don't believe that they had sort of a generic plot to kill whoever was easiest one

00:30:12.280 to kill you know which is what the the kill list would look like it's like well if you can get one

00:30:18.040 of these guys that'd be it that's that's not what the that's not what the crack assassin going after 0.99

00:30:24.840 your head of state does he doesn't have a kill list there's just one person on that list if it's real so

00:30:32.840 so sorry you know united states intelligence people fbi whatever if you want to be credible

00:30:41.080 you're gonna have to be credible for a few years if you come off of the least credible 0.94

00:30:46.600 era in your entire existence and you give me some bullshit about iran wants to destroy its own country

00:30:53.720 why would i believe that i don't believe that at all and and let me be as clear as possible 0.88

00:30:59.800 i'm not trying to back iran i think iran needs to be somehow neutralized ideally in a way that

00:31:08.440 doesn't require any violence bank more encores when you switch to a scotia bank banking package

00:31:18.120 learn more at scotia bank.com banking packages conditions apply scotia bank you're richer than you

00:31:25.000 think all right um i'm gonna surprise you again by agreeing with van jones on his take on what

00:31:35.880 happened in the election um so i'll paraphrase so van jones on cnn um says that the democrats had a

00:31:44.280 basically they had a plan or a proposal of policies to help um every group except black men

00:31:52.920 and that's a good take because he pointed out for example if you're a woman even if you're a black 0.89

00:32:00.600 woman uh abortions on the on the uh menu so you know that your your interests are being looked after

00:32:09.800 um and a number of other groups could say the same you know the illegal uh migrants etc there were

00:32:16.680 specific things that were being done for their benefit and then van jones asked this question he says

00:32:22.920 what did the democ what did kamala harris promise to do that would be good for black men

00:32:31.000 the answer is nothing and it came closer to disrespecting them because by the time obama

00:32:37.080 was telling hey it's black men it's your fault and it was it was literally disrespect and that's what i 0.70

00:32:44.200 saw to me it looked like disrespect so how do you feel if you're a black man and you hear that your 0.96

00:32:51.160 own party says you can't get id to vote and then you look at the republicans and the republicans say 0.95

00:32:57.880 every black person can get id to vote what kind of racist thinks you can't get an id

00:33:02.760 there's no evidence of that right so who's showing you respect

00:33:08.120 the people who think you can't figure out how to get an id when everybody can figure out how to get an id

00:33:12.680 or the republicans who say well you're exactly like us we get ideas you get ideas how about we treat

00:33:18.600 everybody the same who is who is respecting you obviously obviously the republicans and the republicans

00:33:27.960 what about dei and esg the way the republicans treat those things is why are you disrespecting

00:33:35.800 groups that could do fine in this country if they do the same things that other people do to do fine

00:33:42.840 if they stay in trouble go to jail don't get on drugs they do fine so why are you acting like one

00:33:49.880 group can't do that so the republicans have always been respectful weirdly you know it's reframed

00:33:58.920 it's framed a different way but the republicans always start with respect for the individual and

00:34:04.840 then they work from there you are you are a citizen of the united states therefore

00:34:12.680 you're on my team and then we'll work from there that's the republican way to go but the the identity

00:34:18.600 politics was guaranteed to fail because you it would tell you who's left out the republican policies

00:34:27.880 don't tell you who's left out because it's not supposed to but the whole point of the democrat

00:34:35.400 you know identity politics is like well we've we've got this little sliver of people who are

00:34:40.520 yelling really hard we'll give them a little extra but it's gonna have to come out of this this little

00:34:45.160 group over here oh stop yelling that we're taking things from you and moving it to the other group

00:34:49.240 it couldn't possibly work in the long run so

00:34:52.600 uh and then van jones said uh that uh quote when you don't give people respect they don't stick

00:35:01.080 around and and sure enough trump goes to the black barbershop did it look like he was pandering

00:35:10.680 now it was a campaign so you know you you wouldn't be wrong if you said well

00:35:15.160 it's a campaign so everybody's pandering but did it look like he was pandering not really it looked

00:35:21.240 like he wanted to make sure that black men were fully respected in other words you know i see you

00:35:29.320 you're one of us same problems hey you're doing a good job with your barbershop right so but when

00:35:37.160 kamala harris does her little drop in at the black barbershop it just looked awkward didn't it because 0.99

00:35:44.440 she didn't have she didn't have what trump had to offer which is i'm one of you you know you're one of

00:35:51.800 me because she's the identity person she's the not one of you who happened to stop by trump is the one

00:35:59.320 of you who happened to stop by because he's an american you're an american he's one of you

00:36:04.920 she's a black woman with some indian background so she's not a black man she's a stranger who stopped by

00:36:13.960 and you could tell you could feel that

00:36:15.640 and then the ads were terrible according to van so i agree with him totally i think his is so far

00:36:26.200 the most penetrating accurate analysis you know there's a lot more to the whole story but watching

00:36:33.160 the cnn and msnbc pundit crowd get everything wrong has been my entertainment for days like i can't get

00:36:43.720 enough of it just watching them have no idea why they lost because they are the problem the people 0.95

00:36:50.760 doing the talking about i don't know what happened it must can we blame some black men or something is 0.55

00:36:56.200 is there somebody we can blame for this who's not sitting at this panel right now on tv no it's the

00:37:01.640 panel on tv because if the people on tv got their act together the people watching them would correspond

00:37:09.320 the politicians would say oh the way they're talking about us on tv means we should maybe change our

00:37:15.160 messaging so no the people trying to figure out what went wrong are completely missing the fact that it's a hundred percent

00:37:22.440 them the the media tells everybody how to think and they're trying to and they're like why did everybody think

00:37:30.040 wrong it was you you determine how they think you are the person who tells your people who watch how to think

00:37:38.040 you didn't do it right you told them to think in terms of divisive terms you told them to think

00:37:45.080 that obvious hoaxes were true and when people saw that the obvious hoaxes were being sold to them they

00:37:52.040 said uh give me a minute let me see what the other side says and that's what was happening and by the way

00:38:00.600 yes i just have to give a shout out every day or two to scott jennings scott jennings might be the most brilliant

00:38:08.040 um higher the cnn's ever done because he does the republican version of it because he's got the 0.99

00:38:15.400 happy warrior thing so down he has a smile on his face that doesn't look like you know an arrogant jerk 0.95

00:38:23.240 smile it just looks like he genuinely enjoys his job and he just he sort of methodically just 0.97

00:38:32.120 destroys the other four or five people on the table and then watches them go crazy and he just smiles

00:38:39.800 politely while they do and it couldn't be better tv and i give cnn credit for that you know i do have some

00:38:48.760 criticisms of cnn some specific on-air people are a little ridiculous but cnn is definitely

00:38:57.240 they're they're at least making real moves toward showing their audience both sides and uh right

00:39:05.400 now it's like five on one against scott jennings and he's winning every match

00:39:11.640 now i'm biased because i you know i'm closer to his opinions than the panels but the the panel seems 0.98

00:39:17.240 like these just identity idiots like it doesn't even matter who the other people are they're all just 0.99

00:39:22.200 identity idiots and as soon as you see them go into our identity and then they start talking about 1.00

00:39:27.400 their hoaxes and you say oh my god they're just identity hoaxers so at that very same table where 0.99

00:39:37.000 scott jennings was uh getting them all uh hopping mad um they had this idea that uh

00:39:45.000 uh that trump was what were they saying oh the trump is is going to do vengeance

00:39:53.480 so they're trying to they're trying to concoct a new hoax that's cobbled together from a number of

00:39:59.640 things trump has said that that they're trying to like i'll say that if you put these together

00:40:06.120 you know collectively it says that he's going to go on a vengeance tour and get revenge on all the

00:40:11.960 people who wronged them now do you know why they feel so worried about this in the media because

00:40:19.480 they're the ones who wronged them yeah if you had never wronged trump if you had simply said what was

00:40:27.800 true even if it had to be a criticism do you think you'd be worried about going to jail

00:40:32.840 we're being rounded up no i think that the people in the media are so aware of how illegitimately

00:40:42.040 they've been doing their jobs that they think they're on the verge of being locked up even though

00:40:47.560 as far as i know it's not criminal there's there's no crime to be lying on tv apparently

00:40:54.440 so i think they're worried because they're completely aware of how bad they've behaved and

00:40:59.480 they found out that the majority of the country just took the other side so now they're in the

00:41:04.280 minority and the majority thinks that they're lying and at least they thought that enough to vote the

00:41:11.080 other way so if you're looking for the the vengeance argument it's just a whole bunch of

00:41:18.360 out of context things like he wants to be dictated for a day okay but that's not vengeance but you know

00:41:24.360 that that that gives you his point of view okay it was out of context but still it's part of the

00:41:28.840 story you know and and then they try to weave all these little things now but let's ask the question

00:41:36.120 directly will trump aim to get revenge i hope so but only if there's a real a real uh there there

00:41:50.360 are so if he says i'm going to put adam schiff in jail because i don't like how he acts no i'm not

00:41:57.880 down for that and i will help you stop it so let me let me say this if there are any democrats listening

00:42:05.240 and if any any republicans want to join in on this if trump tries to lawfare democrats in other words

00:42:13.480 uses some technical arguments that you know wouldn't be used normally i am not down with that

00:42:20.360 i i will be very very vocal in resisting that and i hope that there would be a lot of resistance too

00:42:27.160 trump would not do something that had mass resistance from his own team i think there

00:42:33.400 would be mass resistance that now if if you see some charges against some people public figures and

00:42:41.640 then you hear the charges and you say oh wow that's different like somebody took a bribe or you know

00:42:49.160 something just outrageous and let's say that it had some impact on him and let's say that in his 0.94

00:42:56.040 quiet moments he's probably thinking i'm getting my revenge on this bastard but there was a real crime 0.91

00:43:02.760 a real crime that you would care about not just a law fairy technical thing with no victim but like a real 0.96

00:43:08.600 crime with a real victim yeah i want him to get revenge but we're not going to call it that way we

00:43:14.280 call it nobody's above the law because that's our standard and so whether you call it revenge

00:43:22.360 or just making sure that the law is followed and that the country is you know the the the ship of

00:43:29.240 state is righted these are just words but we're gonna look at every situation individually and if trump

00:43:37.160 ever becomes this thing you're afraid of you should look to his followers first right so talk to us

00:43:46.840 if you think that trump has become this character that you've been warned of and none of us believe

00:43:52.600 that this is going to happen but hey you know we're here we'll protect you so let me say this as also a

00:44:01.480 form of unity as we enter the golden age i will do everything i can to protect democrats from any kind

00:44:10.200 of unfair lawfare uh any you know any let's say any censorship against them any um any shenanigans

00:44:22.520 now i realize there's going to be sort of an ordinary amount of political you know firing the democrats

00:44:27.960 and hiring the republicans that's sort of normal so the normal stuff i'm not going to get excited about

00:44:33.720 but if you see trump cross the line into he's just getting revenge we will stop that we meaning his

00:44:42.520 supporters we will stop that because his support ends immediately if he crosses that line that the the

00:44:49.160 thing that democrats don't understand about republicans is that there is that they're rules-based

00:44:54.840 republicans are rules-based republicans are rules-based and the rule is the constitution

00:45:01.640 so if we see trump violating the constitution everybody's triggered and it's it's immediate

00:45:09.160 and it's going to be massive so i think democrats don't quite understand the the basic core dna

00:45:17.240 of the conservative republican right they're so against the thing they're worried about there really

00:45:23.640 there's no chance of it in my opinion there's no chance of it at all but if you've been a republican

00:45:29.560 and you watched all these dirty tricks being used against trump you would imagine the republicans would

00:45:35.800 respond in kind i don't think so but let me give you one example where maybe there's a little gray area

00:45:44.280 um who was it was it uh mike davis

00:45:52.440 skipping ahead i think it was lawyer mike davis who had a good quote

00:46:01.720 that i'm totally going to find here in a minute nope not going to find all right so i think it was mike 0.97

00:46:08.760 davis who uh said that letitia james who's going to put her fat ass in jail if uh if she gets in line 1.00

00:46:16.440 meaning that she's violating the department of justice guidelines and just going after trump 0.95

00:46:21.720 because i do think that there's something there meaning that it does look like the lawfare against trump

00:46:30.200 did cross the line into a rico situation and now that trump and his you know his people will be in

00:46:39.640 charge i think a threat to the lawfare people is completely appropriate now would that be revenge

00:46:47.480 it would not because i would not be in favor of any kind of action against letitia uh letitia jones

00:46:55.400 um i would not be in favor of anything unless there's real evidence of a crime so if there is

00:47:04.520 well it's go time but if there isn't absolutely not absolutely not

00:47:12.120 all right so uh cnn had uh somebody come on to say that rfk jr is dangerous it was a dr paul offit

00:47:19.640 the director of vaccine education center and infectious diseases at the children's hospital

00:47:28.120 of philadelphia so here's what i'm looking for when i when i see the medical professionals criticizing rfk

00:47:37.720 jr if they have to make up an opinion and assign it to him to have something to complain about

00:47:45.800 then they're the problem if they say things that he really does believe and does plan to do

00:47:54.520 and they have a problem with it i'm going to listen to that that's the kind you know that's exactly the

00:47:59.320 debate we need but if they make up stuff and they characterize him as some something he's not

00:48:05.960 and then they criticize that imaginary version of him i'm twice as twice as i'm going to back him twice

00:48:14.200 as hard because uh i mean that's just such a tell that you're hiding something so what did dr paul offit

00:48:24.200 say about rfk jr he said uh quote and now you have this man uh rfk jr who's a science denialist

00:48:35.400 is that true is rfk jr a science denialist no the opposite is true he's the one who says there's

00:48:42.120 not enough science being applied to vaccinations so the science denialist is the one who didn't do

00:48:48.200 the science the science promoter is the one who says i think we need more science on this question

00:48:54.440 so the first the very first thing is opposite of true what else does he say he says that he's a

00:49:01.880 virulent anti-vaccine activist out of context out of context he's not anti-vaccine he's anti-under-tested

00:49:14.600 vaccine anti-under-tested vaccine that's not anti-vaccine that's pro-vaccine so this is again the opposite 1.00

00:49:23.960 he says that he's a conspiracy theorist well let me say this to you dr paul offid fuck you 1.00

00:49:33.320 fuck you fuck you because conspiracy theorists doesn't belong in our conversation your vaccines 1.00

00:49:40.600 are killing people or they're saving people i'm no expert i don't know but when you call him a guy who is 1.00

00:49:47.800 pro-science a conspiracy theorist just fuck you i'm not going to debate it i'm just going to say 1.00

00:49:54.360 fuck fuck you that you're you're get back to science right stop this bullshit whatever this is you're bad 1.00

00:50:02.680 at it talking in public maybe you're good at your test tubes and shit but you're not good at this so 1.00

00:50:08.840 you should stay the hell off of tv if you're gonna just bring us garbage it's the golden age it's not the 0.99

00:50:14.200 trash age and uh he said nothing good can come of that he denies those advances he does not he simply 0.94

00:50:25.880 declares his own scientific truths does not none of this is true and he's the expert they have on now 0.98

00:50:36.040 this is every tell every tell every tell is screaming that the vaccines are a corrupt business

00:50:44.280 or under tested or maybe more dangerous than we think and by the way i'm not anti-vax if we're talking

00:50:50.840 about childhood vaccinations i'm not anti i'm also not pro i'm absolutely 100 rfk junior on this we need

00:51:02.200 more information it doesn't mean i would stop somebody from getting a vaccination necessarily

00:51:08.280 but absolutely we need a little more a little more safety i wouldn't mind that

00:51:17.400 well uh on uh msnbc mika on morning joe she says that uh she thinks that women are too busy with 1.00

00:51:25.640 their lives to worry about you know the the threat of trump's fascism and losing democracy

00:51:36.680 now what could be more fun watching msnbc have no idea that they are the problem and that they're 1.00

00:51:44.600 blaming now women for being too busy to worry about fascism and losing democracy

00:51:50.200 neither of those things were even real there's no fascism there's no losing your democracy

00:51:58.600 maybe women were just smarter than mika and they said how's he stealing my democracy 1.00

00:52:06.440 you know even the people who live in the states where the abortion law is not the way they want it

00:52:13.080 they know that their state can change that law and that they can vote on it

00:52:17.960 where did they lose their democracy now they do lose a year or so of having the law the way they want it

00:52:25.160 if their state has to make an adjustment so that's real if you're mad about that that's a real cost

00:52:31.800 but you didn't lose democracy you can just vote whatever you want your state and then you'll get it

00:52:39.000 um msnbc also had this uh um oh he was on bill maher so john heilman who's from msnbc

00:52:50.840 there was a clip of him getting absolutely everything wrong in his description of the world that was

00:52:57.000 just hilarious but he was also on bill maher and uh he said quote not only is twitter not a real place

00:53:04.760 but it's becoming a toxic cesspool filled with misinformation disinformation and conspiracy

00:53:10.200 theories and bill maher listens to this this ridiculous rant he just says twitter is real

00:53:18.440 that is where reality is now so yes thank you bill maher that is correct the the that is real

00:53:27.560 but uh i don't think that but heilman was right that the legacy media has lost its

00:53:37.880 lost its energy all right here's a here's some fun for you i saw a post today from a user named

00:53:45.320 picola i don't know who picola is but on the x platform and uh mapped some of our characters who

00:53:53.240 are in the news lately into the founding the founders uh so he called it founding slash refounding

00:54:01.000 fathers although it's not all fathers there's some mothers on here um or some women not necessarily

00:54:07.480 mothers so he says uh you would map uh george washington would be trump you all see that one right

00:54:15.480 that one's easy if you were going to map our current players onto the founders george washington

00:54:22.200 trump that's easy uh but here are the others and see what you think uh alexander hamilton jd vance

00:54:30.360 now wasn't alexander hamilton famous for being brilliant and unusually young

00:54:39.160 right like hamilton was doing stuff when he was like 18 you know changing the world at like 18 or

00:54:46.280 something um so yeah jd vance unusually smart and uh younger than what we're used to so yeah alexander

00:54:53.560 hamilton got it thomas jefferson vivek totally totally yeah vivek and thomas jefferson you all see it

00:55:03.800 he's multi-skilled his communication abilities are virtually unparalleled but certainly he has founder level

00:55:12.360 um persuasion communication intelligence um you know grasp of various fields that one fits

00:55:23.560 uh all right how about this one uh well this is not really a founder but in order to make things work

00:55:29.720 thomas edison as elon musk

00:55:31.720 i think i preferred ben franklin for the elon musk

00:55:40.920 but uh thomas edison makes sense i mean greatest inventor so i see that um james madison ron paul

00:55:50.360 um i guess i don't know enough about james madison or ron paul to know how that lines up

00:55:56.040 but maybe you do does that make sense james madison is ron paul

00:56:01.400 i don't know abigail adams uh nicole shanahan i think that one's a little unfair because we're

00:56:07.800 just trying to figure out a way to you know to to make the genders work because there were more men 1.00

00:56:14.440 you know in 1776 um but i was i think nicole needs some larger

00:56:22.360 some larger i don't credit or mention or association abigail adams by the way was

00:56:28.920 although she was the spouse of john adams if i have my history right i think she was very influential

00:56:34.520 wasn't she so maybe that's not a terrible i i think i would just promote her higher than 0.94

00:56:41.800 spouse of a founder yeah i i think her i think her impact is founder level not spouse of founder

00:56:48.760 level um patrick henry rfk jr patrick henry rfk jr i don't know i have to think about that one

00:57:00.680 good fit george mason tulsi gabbard again the gender part is weird and i don't know exactly what

00:57:08.200 george mason did but uh of course we want we want tulsi on the list and then he says what about a few

00:57:16.120 others and he said a few other ideas samuel adams tucker carlson tucker carlson as sam adams yeah okay

00:57:25.800 i'll take that uh john hancock bill ackman yeah yeah i i could say that one bill ackman with john

00:57:36.600 hancock and here's here's a fun one benjamin franklin naval naval ravikant ben franklin

00:57:44.200 now i would have made that elon but it's good to have naval in there um and then he's got joe rogan

00:57:55.320 as governor morris who my history knowledge is not sufficient to to know if that would make sense

00:58:03.240 and then he's got thomas paine and he's got me

00:58:07.000 do i map to thomas paine who wrote the publication common sense and he was the most published person

00:58:18.520 in maybe the history of the united states if you look at the number of copies of his publication common

00:58:24.680 sense uh as a percentage of the total number of people who lived in america at the time

00:58:32.440 it was the greatest publishing success of all time thomas paine and uh here's an interesting fact

00:58:41.480 thomas paine died on my birthday june 8th isn't that weird he died on my birthday if he had been

00:58:50.680 born on my birthday it'd be weirder and then uh picola has uh for john adams he's got a vd uh hansen

00:58:59.080 victor davis hansen victor davis hansen for john adams maybe maybe here's a here's my fun recreational

00:59:13.480 hypothesis it goes like this there is a certain energy that is needed for certain times and america is one of

00:59:27.480 those places that does look like destiny has shaped it now i'm sure rome thought that before rome fell

00:59:34.200 apart and mongol hordes probably thought that too but there's something very destiny like about america

00:59:41.240 and i've always been amazed that the dozen or so founders who were really the superpower ones

00:59:48.360 that they were all here at the same time when there weren't many people here like how could it be that the

00:59:54.360 tiny nation of america when it was just you know before it was formed that could have the such

01:00:01.480 superstars in the same place it was like it was like the beatles times three and then you look at

01:00:09.000 the current times and i asked the same question how could we have a trump and elon musk you know david

01:00:17.080 sacks and bill lackman and the tulsi you know vivek and a rfk jr and you know i could go on naval naval

01:00:24.120 wants to get in there if possible how is it possible that we have

01:00:30.360 again these characters it's almost as if there's an energy that stays dormant until needed

01:00:38.600 and then the energy comes out through people but it picks its own host do you know what i mean now

01:00:46.520 again this is a recreational belief i'm not i don't want to go too far into woo weird spiritual stuff but

01:00:55.480 in 77 1776 there was a certain energy that was needed and then it came out through a certain number

01:01:02.760 of characters who were exceptional at this moment in america's history we're completely off the rails

01:01:09.720 and the same energy was needed but why is it that the vessels for that energy

01:01:18.120 so mapped to 1776 is it just my confirmation bias just my imagination it just feels like fate works through

01:01:27.080 people who can handle it do you know what's true about all the people in 1776 who were you know the

01:01:35.960 leaders of the revolution every one of them was going to get hanged if they didn't succeed do you know

01:01:43.240 what's true of this group of people from rfk jr to trump to elon musk they were all in a lot of

01:01:51.720 trouble if they didn't succeed the level of bravery in in the founders and then the level of bravery in

01:02:00.200 the re-founders all of them you know if i don't mention any of the names just imagine that they're in

01:02:05.640 there it's like fate only operates through the brave because if you're not brave you can't you can't see the

01:02:15.560 future and you can't imagine surviving it you need brilliant brave patriotic people and boy did we get

01:02:26.440 lucky because we have exactly the right people it's kind of crazy by the way there's there's at least one

01:02:33.720 more founder level uh entrant that i can't tell you about yet but there there's somebody else who's

01:02:41.880 at least up for working with the administration that when you hear the name you're gonna go oh

01:02:48.680 fuck that makes so much sense i hope i can tell you about it soon but there there's another corner of

01:02:57.640 the country that needs to get fixed and the exact right person is looking to be that person it's 0.98

01:03:06.120 unbelievable it's unbelievable when you when when you find out you go oh shoot this really is the

01:03:11.960 golden age so that's a little behind the curtain stuff maybe i can tell you more later um

01:03:20.840 here's my other take on oh so something vivek said ramaswamy is that elon's contribution

01:03:28.200 um beyond the obvious funding beyond the obvious you know um public statements etc and all he did with

01:03:37.080 x that maybe his biggest contribution was making it safe to back trump and i agree with that totally 0.99

01:03:45.560 i think that it's hard to say that trump is a monster and he's stupid when elon musk just backed him

01:03:52.520 completely i i think the permission structure was a really big part of this the story but i'll go further 0.99

01:04:05.400 and say that um there are a lot of people in that story vivek himself put his whole life

01:04:14.520 at risk to back trump before elon right joe rogan uh before he had endorsed um trump was at least not

01:04:26.200 anti-trump and was putting his whole thing at risk um i would say that uh i basically threw away my entire

01:04:34.920 career put myself at risk and to the extent that people knew us and said well wait a minute i don't 0.96

01:04:43.320 always agree with those people but they're not stupid like not very many people think i'm stupid

01:04:50.040 they just might disagree with specific things and once you get enough people who are unambiguously 0.75

01:04:57.720 smart and unambiguously have no no dog in the fight except we want the country to do well

01:05:05.720 i mean look at elon he wants the country to do well just totally you know look at

01:05:12.200 any any of the founders or re-founders that i mentioned they all just want the country to do

01:05:16.280 well i i'm not in this for the money like i want the country to do well so i think a lot of us helped

01:05:24.440 make uh trump acceptable to those who are being lied lied to continuously by the fake news

01:05:30.840 um but i would say the following i think trump has has now with this victory and the amazing third act

01:05:43.400 movie that he has uh managed to host here he has moved into a different category he has moved from

01:05:51.640 um leader to legend and i think the legend part um we're a little bit blind to in the united states

01:06:00.520 because we're sort of in the middle of the fight we're in the weeds all the time but if you're in

01:06:04.920 another country and you're somebody like putin here's what putin says quote

01:06:13.880 um he said quote uh talking about trump his behavior at the time of the attempt of his life

01:06:19.240 made an impression on me putin said um quote he turned out to be a courageous man and it's not just

01:06:26.200 about the raised hand and the call to fight for his and other common ideals he behaved in my opinion

01:06:32.040 in a very correct way courageously like a man that's putin

01:06:41.160 even putin is calling trump a legend he's not using that words but you can you can feel it now

01:06:48.440 i think that this framing is going to be really strong with other countries and that's why you're

01:06:54.520 going to see other countries lining up to make a deal trump as a salesperson and the deal maker is

01:07:02.200 really powerful but trump has a legend oh we haven't seen this yet

01:07:10.280 do you know what happens when the legend comes in to negotiate with you

01:07:15.960 changes everything if trump was just the leader of the united states then you would be an adversary

01:07:23.240 and you would try to get the best deal you could and maybe you couldn't even get a deal

01:07:26.360 but if trump comes in and he's a legend you're gonna do a deal do you know why because everybody

01:07:35.560 wants to do a deal with the legend everybody wants to say i made that deal you see that that uh nuclear

01:07:43.960 weapon treaty i did that with trump i worked with the legend and the and the two of us the legend and me

01:07:54.280 the two of us made this work it changes everything and and this is where i love trump's take on war

01:08:02.440 i want i want i want fewer people to die the more i think about that the more genius that becomes over

01:08:09.000 time if he doesn't take sides with war and he takes sides with life and he does it in every

01:08:17.960 every part of his policies everywhere which he does that's so strong that's a legend that's not a

01:08:24.760 politician that's a legend no i want less death completely reframed war he reframed war who does that a legend

01:08:34.920 so i believe that uh you know everything from hamas to the hudis to hezbollah to putin to iran to china

01:08:47.800 to everybody that even you know isis i think every one of them is going to say i can't lose to

01:08:57.000 my enemy i can't do a negotiation and surrender to my enemy but i can make a deal with legend

01:09:04.920 do you feel that do you feel the point i hope i'm coming through people just act differently if

01:09:13.480 you're a legend they're not going to treat him like an adversary exactly even though they know he is

01:09:20.680 they're going to say i want to work with the legend i want to make my country great

01:09:25.160 let's do it with the legend it changes everything

01:09:28.840 all right uh here's a note i was looking for about mike davis wants to put letitia james fat ass in 1.00

01:09:37.240 prison if she keeps weaponizing the law against trump some say mike davis is on the short list to be

01:09:43.320 attorney general and uh well i don't know much about mike davis but i like him so far

01:09:49.960 the one thing i know about him yeah i like this yep and he absolutely should be threatening

01:09:59.960 letitia james i i think a a fair and reasonable threat that's not based on craziness or conspiracy

01:10:07.560 theory but is based on observable public behavior absolutely you know that we're a country that needs

01:10:15.640 you know the free market competition of ideas and money and and uh legal system so yeah a little

01:10:22.680 pushback is what this country needs um you know the question about whether trump can remove the fed

01:10:31.080 chair powell turns out according to adrian vermule i believe he's a harvard lawyer kind of guy

01:10:39.720 um he says that there are he says check the statutes first so the constitution is kind of quiet on it i guess

01:10:50.280 but there's a statute that suggests that you can change the leadership so what he can't do is remove him

01:10:57.800 from office what he might be able to do according to statutes is remove him from leadership

01:11:04.760 so that's interesting and it's funny that we didn't know that until well i didn't know until

01:11:13.080 right now our government is so complicated that you can't tell what's up or down

01:11:20.760 all right here are some trump policies that um some of them i saw recently but i think these are older

01:11:27.320 but these were little video messages he was doing during the campaign i think some of these were a year

01:11:33.000 old but he's come out and said that he wants to use the military on the cartels he says he wants to

01:11:39.800 move the homeless in our cities to tent cities you know move them on some maybe public land or something

01:11:46.440 and give them nice tents and at least get them away from other people and he also talked about

01:11:52.360 defunding the censorship network uh which is something mike benz has suggested now

01:11:59.000 on all three of these issues would you agree that trump has probably been surveying the base

01:12:09.240 and looking for what they wanted and some good ideas trickle up he put them into videos and and

01:12:15.800 now he's trying them out um to me i think these are all bottom up i think they all came from people

01:12:22.520 who said specifically hey how about putting them in tents about closing down as mike ben said closing

01:12:29.160 down the funding to these anti-information people and then the cartel stuff i think comes from the public

01:12:37.320 as well so i like that uh general flynn was talking to uh steve bannon and uh he said something that caught my

01:12:48.680 eye um he did believe that if trump lost that they'd all go to jail uh all of them being the people close

01:12:57.080 to trump i guess and uh here's something that uh general flynn said he said quote i'll tell you and

01:13:04.040 this is my my fun i think this is my fun i don't know might be a typo there uh i think that the person

01:13:11.320 behind this is the tactical the person who's the tactical commander of all this is john brennan

01:13:18.680 he said we've had decent people but i think john brennan is one of the most evil people on the

01:13:31.960 planet and that man he's the tactical commander obama obama is still in the play and there's still

01:13:39.640 some of these globalist characters but that's what we're facing now

01:13:44.360 uh i don't know what uh you know special insight general flynn has obviously more than i do but

01:13:55.160 um the reason this caught my mind is that ever since the russia collusion days

01:14:00.120 it always seemed to me that brennan was the tactical commander that's the way i saw it it seemed to me that

01:14:09.320 he was always in the right place right time right messenger for certain sets of ops it was like he

01:14:16.760 was running the ops and then when he would go on tv everybody would know what the op is and then they

01:14:21.480 would fall in line so i don't have any uh special information about john brennan but what flynn is

01:14:29.800 saying is exactly how i felt because it looked like it but i don't have any evidence to back that up i don't

01:14:37.800 know if uh general flynn does either or if he was just getting the same vibe because it just felt like

01:14:44.440 it and looked like it to me anyway there's a study in the journal of public economics

01:14:54.360 that because fox news has grown in its audience that that growth translates to a 0.05 ratings point

01:15:03.720 well no an increase of 0.05 ratings on fox news um translates into extra votes so the study suggests

01:15:16.760 that the the simple exposure to more fox news will change the vote outcome do you believe that do you

01:15:25.240 believe that if fox news had extra audience that that would convert people brainwash them into more trump

01:15:33.720 votes i do now if you believe in free will um maybe you don't but uh i don't believe in free will

01:15:46.280 i think that the influences in people's environments are making them do what they do

01:15:50.200 and here's the interesting part the increase in their audience had to do with uh exogenous changes

01:15:58.600 in channel placement exogenous changes and channel placement in other words it wasn't about what the

01:16:04.920 producers or the talent did it was about something about the business itself and which cable channels

01:16:11.240 they were on and how visible they were etc so something changed in the outside world that made it a little

01:16:17.720 easier to catch fox news and that translated into more votes for trump i don't think that's the big story of

01:16:25.160 the election but i do note that if this is true it's another blow against free will because if a tiny

01:16:34.440 exogenous change in channel placement changed how you voted

01:16:38.600 what kind of system is that well who's going to be the president next time who's going to be president

01:16:47.640 well let me check have there been any exogenous changes in channel placement lately oh there have

01:16:55.320 been i we can skip the election it's all trump because of the exogenous changes and channel placement

01:17:02.680 anyway daniel pen daniel penny you all know him he was the the person who tried to help on the subway train

01:17:13.880 and ended up uh holding down a man who eventually died and now he's being accused of killing him even

01:17:21.960 though he didn't seem to be intending to do that whatsoever he was just trying to keep people safe and

01:17:27.560 um the prosecutor keeps referring to the situation as the white man and the black man so the prosecutor

01:17:37.400 is asking witnesses stuff like and did you see the white man holding the black man by the neck

01:17:44.520 that's how the trial is going now everybody in the jury knows the names of daniel penny and the victim

01:17:53.480 so why would he say their race when everyone knows their names it's the reason you think it's exactly

01:18:03.240 the reason you think to bias them make it a make make it a racial decision and some of the um

01:18:14.440 i believe some of the witnesses are black there was at least one black man maybe two who helped daniel

01:18:23.000 penny keep the guy subdued i think there was a mixed bunch of people on the train so so daniel penny was

01:18:30.760 protecting some black women probably and some white women and some other people and here's what i'd like to

01:18:39.880 request

01:18:44.040 black men as van jones pointed out um helped trump get over the hump wasn't the only thing that happened

01:18:51.960 because trump won basically every group except a few and that triggers in me a sense of reciprocity

01:19:01.400 meaning that i appreciate that and so my opinion of black american men which was always good

01:19:09.560 you know on an individual level i i disagree with group stuff but on an individual person to personal

01:19:15.640 level um i appreciate it and it triggers my reciprocity so the same reason that black men i think responded

01:19:25.800 to the greater respect that came from trump um and voted that their voting was beneficial to me

01:19:35.320 as a citizen so thank you thank you black american voters who saw through the hoaxes and said how can we

01:19:43.960 improve our economy oh maybe this trump guy can do it so i appreciate that i'm going to ask you for one more favor though

01:19:56.440 black america i need you to free daniel penny

01:20:01.320 now i'm not talking directly to the people who are going to make the decision on the

01:20:06.280 trial i doubt they're watching my show but this is what we need this is your moment

01:20:14.200 because we have been divided you know and i don't think anybody wants to be

01:20:21.560 like the division that seems like it was imposed upon us by the narratives in the news it wasn't

01:20:27.320 something we picked like black and white america didn't sit down one day say you know what we could

01:20:33.320 do is what would be good is a little more division nobody did that everybody wants to get along

01:20:38.600 and here's what i would really appreciate i would really appreciate if america can forget identity

01:20:50.200 ignore this prosecutor who's calling it the black man and the white man and you just tell me what you

01:20:55.720 want more of do you want more daniel penny who steps in and that great personal risk

01:21:03.720 tries to protect you because i do i want more daniel penny if you want less of it you know how to get it

01:21:11.560 because remember reciprocity isn't a one-way street if the black americans on this jury

01:21:22.840 um and i don't think they could possibly be can't be 12 of them so they don't have full control but if

01:21:29.720 they would join in with the rest of the jurors and just give this guy a free pass because i want to

01:21:37.240 live in the america where nobody judges this as a racial event that's the america i want and the

01:21:47.080 prosecutor is not playing that game but you don't have to believe the prosecutor you can ask yourself

01:21:53.880 what kind of america do you want do you want one where daniel penny jumps in or do you want one where

01:21:59.400 daniel penny walks away so your choice reciprocity is on the table and uh i think we're we're seeing some

01:22:11.320 lots of evidence that we could get along you know better than we have but we need this

01:22:16.760 the daniel penny thing matters it matters a lot and uh so i can use some help

01:22:26.360 all right

01:22:29.400 steve madden the shoemaker is uh gonna move a lot of production into china won't be coming back to the

01:22:36.280 united states but would move it into places like brazil mexico vietnam cambodia those are the places that

01:22:42.520 are the the china competitors and uh that probably has something to do with trump and trump's uh warnings

01:22:52.200 about tariffs so people are already making moves based on trump

01:23:02.360 um yeah and that ladies and gentlemen

01:23:06.920 um is all i want to talk about today so the golden age is kicking off pretty good looking pretty

01:23:14.760 strong stock market's up um all the right people are on board trump's team is going to get stronger

01:23:23.080 and uh i think other countries are going to want to deal with the legend so i think we're in amazing
