00:00:50.100
now i know what you're thinking the question on all of your minds is
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
00:13:06.760
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
00:13:28.600
sense woke bullshit thank you thank you he but the trouble is that he still thinks
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
00:13:45.320
always been on that page so i'll give him full credit for being anti-overwokeness
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

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
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
00:25:08.920
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
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
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
00:28:56.040
is fucking ridiculous at what point did iran ever start acting crazy well you know they have a
00:29:04.200
religious belief that's not your religious belief but you know that that's sort of baseline differences
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
00:34:52.600
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
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
00:36:15.640
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
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
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
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
00:38:23.240
smile it just looks like he genuinely enjoys his job and he just he sort of methodically just
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
00:39:17.240
like these just identity idiots like it doesn't even matter who the other people are they're all just
00:39:22.200
identity idiots and as soon as you see them go into our identity and then they start talking about
00:39:27.400
their hoaxes and you say oh my god they're just identity hoaxers so at that very same table where
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
00:42:56.040
quiet moments he's probably thinking i'm getting my revenge on this bastard but there was a real crime
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
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
00:45:52.440
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
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
00:46:16.440
meaning that she's violating the department of justice guidelines and just going after trump
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
00:49:23.960
he says that he's a conspiracy theorist well let me say this to you dr paul offid fuck you
00:49:33.320
fuck you fuck you because conspiracy theorists doesn't belong in our conversation your vaccines
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
00:55:31.720
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
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
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
00:58:07.000
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
01:18:44.040
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
01:20:01.320
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
