What would you do if you hatched a plan to get rid of President Trump if you knew that Bernie Sanders was going to beat Donald Trump in 2020? What would you name your plan? What kind of plan would you concoct, and how would you execute it?
00:00:07.720Hey everybody! Come on in. Oh, you know what? We're not taking questions.
00:00:15.100Because I forgot to push the button that allows me to take questions.
00:00:19.260So this is going to be the world's shortest periscope.
00:00:23.760But probably the best. Yeah, it's probably going to be the best.
00:00:27.580Because on days like this, when you start them with a simultaneous sip, well, what could go wrong? Nothing.
00:00:35.240Nothing. And all you need for the simultaneous sip is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or a chalice or a stein, a canteen jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind.
00:00:44.620Fill it with your favorite beverage. I like coffee.
00:00:48.220And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine today, the thing that makes everything better, the simultaneous sip.
00:01:18.860Is there anybody in the professional Democrat world who is saying to themselves, we've got that president now with our strong candidates and our policies and whatnot?
00:01:33.200I'm not sure anybody's saying that, are they?
00:01:38.360It feels like maybe nobody's saying that.
00:01:40.960So, just to keep things interesting, what would be the one thing you would want most after Russia collusion and after the Ukraine perfect letter?
00:01:53.520What kind of story could be hatched in a situation in which you realize that none of your Democrat candidates have any chance whatsoever against the sitting president who is crushing it?
00:02:10.140And the longer they compete against each other, the more obvious it is that whatever Trump does is better.
00:02:18.940Because you're watching the Democrats debate and you're just thinking to yourself, why are their light bulbs so dim?
00:02:29.700Why are they so relatively uninteresting?
00:05:21.340Well, if you don't, then you're not in our intelligence services.
00:05:26.760Because our intelligence services have informed this small group of Congress people that it's because they'd like to see President Trump get reelected.
00:05:55.100Well, this was a plot that you come up with before Bernie Sanders is the alternative.
00:06:02.380Because the people trying to sell you this plot, you know, this new conspiracy theory,
00:06:09.080the people trying to sell this to you, they didn't realize that this was the plot you have held back in case it's not Bernie Sanders.
00:06:18.320Because if it looks like it's probably Bernie, and certainly you would sort of hold back and wait a little bit because it looks like it probably is.
00:06:29.740You would say to yourself, are we so sure that President Trump is the best person that we would like, we Russians, let's say, would like in the White House versus Bernie Sanders?
00:06:42.800So the pranksters who bring us this latest hoax, they forgot something.
00:06:50.540The most important part of the hoax is the why.
00:07:06.040Because is there anybody on this periscope or indeed anyone in the world who doesn't believe that Russia prefers Bernie Sanders as the President of the United States?
00:07:21.140There's not any chance that Russia prefers Trump over Bernie.
00:07:26.980So, you can see that there's a mismatch between this new fake news conspiracy theory and the obvious reality that Russia would never make that choice.
00:07:41.520So, what does President Trump do when he finds out that his briefers, his own intelligence people, have briefed Congress, including Adam Schiff, sworn enemy to the President and told him exactly what Adam Schiff would want to hear more than anything else?
00:08:05.480Let me tell you that when Adam Schiff heard this, I think there was a laundry problem is what I'm saying.
00:08:14.240I think that Adam Schiff was happier than a man should ever be.
00:08:20.800And he probably just said, and I'm going to do an impression now of Adam Schiff hearing the news from the intelligence agencies, Trump's own intelligence agency, that the Russians are interfering on behalf of Trump.
00:08:36.680Here is my impression of Adam Schiff hearing that news.
00:09:15.400Somebody else will presumably be picked as the new head.
00:09:19.300Now, does that seem like that's just more proof for Schiff?
00:09:25.460Proof, I say, that the President must be liking this Russian interference.
00:09:30.640He must be trying to throw the election, too.
00:09:33.480He must be working with Putin because he fired the messenger.
00:09:36.860The messenger who came in and said that Russia prefers you over Bernie Sanders.
00:09:45.140I would like to present to you now a one-act play in which the President of the United States, who will be played by me, is learning for the first time about this news that our intelligence agencies say that Russia is once again interfering on his behalf.
00:10:05.020Of his being me, because I'll also be playing the part of Dale.
00:10:12.480Dale will be informing me as the President of this sad news.
00:10:17.240Mr. President, Mr. President, we have serious and dire news.
00:11:31.700The worst thing they could do is try to help me when I already have a commanding position and I'm going to win on my own and I'm probably going to be running against a communist?
00:13:13.120Ambassador Grinnell, do you think that Putin is trying to help President Trump get re-elected by doing the one most obvious worst thing he could ever do to get President Trump re-elected,
00:13:28.440but also doing it in a way that virtually guarantees being caught?
00:13:34.320And Ambassador Grinnell would sit back and say, that doesn't make any sense.
00:13:40.720If Putin wanted you to get re-elected, he would just stay out of it, because it looks like it's heading that way.
00:14:40.820Because apparently somebody in the administration, the Trump administration, countered the idea that it's obvious that Putin is interfering on behalf of Trump.
00:14:53.520And this person who is unnamed says, a quote, a more reasonable interpretation of the intelligence is not that they have a preference, meaning a preference for Trump.
00:15:12.240But not that they prefer him over Bernie Sanders or Pete Buttigieg or anyone else.
00:15:17.420So it may have been mischaracterized by Shelby, the intelligence official.
00:15:23.500Now, that is literally a difference in mind reading.
00:15:29.000Now, I think the Trump administration is making the less mind reading case, which is to say, what we have is evidence that they're doing stuff.
00:15:39.620What we don't have is knowledge of what they're thinking, right?
00:15:46.420So since one of their intentions is just to mess with our system, it's alleged.
00:15:52.260So it's alleged that one of the things that Putin wants to do is just make our system seem less stable.
00:16:00.080I would like to go on record as saying maybe, maybe that's true.
00:16:35.640I guess you'll probably want to impeach again, and this will be a big story.
00:16:39.960But it all comes down to this interpretation.
00:16:43.380And I would say that a reasonable interpretation is that they know that they can work with Trump, but he's got some, you know, he's got a rough side, meaning he gave lethal aid to Ukraine.
00:18:24.920If you made a list of 100 things, all the things that Putin would do from the top thing he'd do to help get Trump get elected to the bottom thing,
00:18:35.500the bottom thing, the last thing he'd do was hack in this ham-handed way or do these stupid social media memes again and get caught.
00:18:43.800Because they're not going to make much difference, but you could get caught, just like last time.
00:18:48.680So it's literally the last thing he'd do, unless he's got an IQ of 65.
00:23:36.500You know, there's something that might happen that's kind of dangerous.
00:23:40.580Because I've mocked people who say that if we build these big machines that suck the CO2 out of the atmosphere,
00:23:49.000that if we were too good at it, the people fear that we would take too much out and the plants would die.
00:23:54.440And I laugh and say, no, if the only point of building these things, the only point of it, is to get rid of the CO2 to bring down the temperature,
00:24:04.540then when you've done that, you'll turn them down or turn them off.
00:29:45.800Sometimes I get tempted, but I don't know.
00:29:48.340There's just something so irrational about gold that I can't, my, my rational mind can't be irrational enough to act rationally and diversify with gold.
00:30:00.640I, I just have some kind of rational barrier there.
00:30:05.560The New York Times headlines, we need to let the elites decide who governs the U.S.
00:30:10.700Well, whatever we're doing now is, is feeling kind of random.
00:30:14.560What are my thoughts on Ilan Omar's brother marriage scandal?
00:30:22.940So I try to become, I try to be consistent.
00:30:26.820You know, if I don't care about Stormy Daniels, and I didn't care about Monica Lewinsky, I'm not going to care about Ilan Omar's personal life.
00:30:36.280Now, if any laws were broken, we'll let the courts figure that out.
00:30:42.660You know, if the court decides that there's some, something that shouldn't have happened, well, you know, that's why we have laws.
00:30:49.260I'm just not, just not too engaged in that personal stuff.
00:30:52.820Preferred, yeah, you know, I see some questions about cannabis.
00:31:03.620I will tell you that it's the only thing that stops my pain.
00:31:06.420So, if I may be blunt, the reason I've been a little out of it in the morning is that literally the only thing that stops the pain.
00:31:15.820And it's a really bad pain, and it lasts a long time.
00:31:21.000But there's only one thing that will stop it, and it stops it right away.
00:31:26.700Will the summer Tokyo Olympics happen?
00:34:24.580That commercial was somewhat easy to make, in the sense that you had this great oration, and then they just put pictures to it.
00:34:31.440So, it was a little bit, you know, they were starting with something that was pre-made, and known to be good.
00:34:37.300So, that doesn't tell you that there's some expertise that has been added, such as Godzilla.
00:34:43.380Now, you know who I mean by Godzilla, if you read my book, Win Bigley.
00:34:47.300It's a nickname I gave to Cialdini, the, I would say the, oh, probably the world's most famous influencer, who I believe worked for Hillary Clinton.
00:35:03.240And he's, I know he and some other influencers worked for Obama.
00:35:07.240So, if there are some Democrat experts on influence, you would expect that they would look to join whichever team emerges from the primaries.
00:35:17.000If there are people who believe that it's Bernie, and it's already obvious that it's going to be Bernie, you would expect that they would have, sometime around now, the professional influencers would have said, you know, hey, I'll be your advisor.
00:35:31.380And those are the influencers who would make your memes and your tweets and your ads go to a whole new level.
00:35:40.420But Bernie's ad is already at that level.
00:35:43.180I mean, that was a Trump-like, super powerful ad.
00:35:47.160But like I say, it might not be the product of the highest level expertise, because it was really based on just that one oration.
00:35:56.480And if you had that, it would have been obvious what to do with it.
00:35:59.840So, we don't, we don't yet have signs that Bernie has a Godzilla-level talent working for him.
00:36:10.180I would expect that Bernie's persuasion, you're going to see a step jump.
00:36:17.580If he, if he gets to the point where everybody just says, yeah, it's obviously going to be Bernie, at that point, watch his persuasion just take a leap.
00:36:25.000It would be because the experts got involved once they knew who really to back.
