00:03:36.540 What do you have, Marcella?
00:03:38.860 Oh, what?
00:03:40.200 The world.
00:03:41.320 You have the whole world in your hand?
00:03:42.480 yes i was like what's she doing i thought you were doing show and tell like my zucchini yesterday
00:03:48.860 okay i could do that but it was i don't really have a zucchini

00:04:01.460 no i have i have many of these oh okay oh okay she's like if you buy a stress ball on amazon
00:04:11.980 you get like lots of them oh you needed a stress ball huh they have these two the
00:04:19.760 spinners why do you need so many do you crush them
00:04:24.780 do i what crush them no i don't crush anything unless they want me to crush them
00:04:34.440 who knew marcella had so much stress over there
00:04:37.020 all right you guys so there's so much to get to today um and i figured we would start with
00:04:46.280 our friend fauci see how we're holding up over there so what is it called like a congressional
00:04:52.060 oversight type of situation to see if she if she if he was in contempt um
00:04:58.540 oh yeah it's good times it's good times okay so let me go so actually a little theme kind of came
00:05:07.200 into play here with this so let's go where was the first one i wanted to play of him
00:05:12.460 let's do all right okay so this i was going to play for you yesterday this is brett weinstein
00:05:20.200 again and i thought it was interesting what he said because there's two stories today that we're
00:05:24.680 going to tell that kind of fall into this where it's like um well you'll see i think it's
00:05:30.920 interesting what he says about how there's like made men or like you know made people meaning
00:05:36.360 like in a mafia reference where they're like untouchable and i think that is something that
00:05:41.020 we always see time and time again is that like certain people like they just like they just
00:05:46.200 never get in trouble they're untouchable so let's listen to brett and keep this in mind not just for
00:05:51.620 Fauci but for for always one message is you are getting a glimpse at the system we actually live
00:06:00.340 under and it fits well with the paradigm I laid out in a tweet thread this week not thinking of
00:06:08.800 this topic specifically at all but you want to put up my tweet thread I'll just read the first tweet
00:06:14.360 in it. I said, something is at war with us, us being regular citizens who want things to work
00:06:23.760 and to be left alone. We're slow to react because we think in terms of nations. Our enemies are
00:06:29.180 mafias that wear governments like a cloak to defeat our eyes and fly our flags to disarm our
00:06:34.200 minds. So I think the way to think about Anthony Fauci sitting there in front of this committee
00:06:41.540 today is we are governed by mafias. He is a made man. I think he's just clearly a made man.
00:06:51.920 And that means we don't have the ability to touch him, right? There's only so much that Rand Paul
00:06:58.500 can do or Ron Johnson. They don't have the power. They are our representatives, and we don't have
00:07:05.360 the power to touch Anthony Fauci for reasons we don't know. Mafias could presumably deal with him.
00:07:10.160 mafias deal with each other and their own all the time they have rules but we don't know them they're
00:07:14.540 not published anywhere we don't have standing to say hey this person is a flat out monster and
00:07:20.720 deserves to be dealt with um so anyway thinking of him as a made man in a mafia whose name we don't
00:07:27.960 know makes a lot more sense of what you saw what he was effectively doing was a flex he was sitting
00:07:33.600 there and saying i don't have to answer your question because who the hell are you
00:07:37.780 yeah that's a that's a great um observation i guess i feel like a lot of us see this and have
00:07:46.060 felt this so today um they're live right now in congress i don't know if it's still going on but
00:07:52.720 that just kind of clips me over here to josh hawley who i happen to really like um so thinking
00:08:00.380 about what you just heard let's do this and then marcella i'll come to you first after this clip
00:08:05.080 just to react.
00:08:06.240 Dr. Fauci has full immunity.
00:08:07.580 He has a full and unconditional
00:08:08.760 pardon for a period of some 11
00:08:10.460 years.
00:08:11.600 In that context, the assertion of
00:08:13.180 the Fifth Amendment privilege
00:08:14.340 only adheres to those instances
00:08:16.780 where the witness has a reasonable
00:08:18.640 fear of future prosecution, and it
00:08:20.600 must be tailored to any such fear.
00:08:24.040 And the fact that he wouldn't
00:08:25.320 answer questions about the tie he
00:08:27.320 was wearing or the color of the
00:08:28.640 carpet of the day of the week,
00:08:29.720 Senator Paul asked him about, did
00:08:30.880 he have a folder in front of me?
00:08:32.000 He wouldn't answer that.
00:08:32.800 betrays the fact that his invocation of the Fifth Amendment wasn't tailored to anything.
00:08:37.580 It was a predetermined, premeditated design to evade this committee's questions on any subject,
00:08:45.220 including emphatically those for which he has a pardon.
00:08:49.500 So, actually, Marcel, I'm going to cut you off one more time, and let's also just—oh, shoot, where is it?
00:08:57.020 um because here we go let me just play this because this will tie it all together so
00:09:04.940 here we go mr chair i move i move to table consideration of this resolution until the
00:09:13.620 chairman invites the views of legal experts who can speak to the constitutional questions
00:09:18.120 and legal authorities chairman paul has raised in his contempt of congress resolution this
00:09:23.180 resolution should be tabled until our committee can hear from independent experts about the
00:09:27.680 applicability of the fifth amendment and other constitutional considerations raised by the
00:09:32.300 chairman's actions. This motion is intended to avoid accountability. I will oppose this motion
00:09:38.840 and urge my colleagues to do the same. Press the roll call. Call the roll. Senator Johnson. No.
00:09:45.180 Senator Lankford. No. Senator Scott. No. Senator Hawley. No. Senator Moreno. Senator Ernst.
00:09:54.400 Senator Moody. Senator Peters. Yes. Senator Hassan. Yes. Senator Blumenthal. Yes. Senator
00:10:02.300 Fetterman. Aye. Senator Kim. Yes. Senator Gallego. Yes, by proxy. Senator Slotkin. Yes,
00:10:09.280 Mr. Chairman, let's hear the vote first on the vote of those present, the yeas are five, the nays are eight, on the vote by proxy, the yeas are two, the nays are zero, on this vote, the yeas are seven, the nays are eight, and the motion is not agreed to.
00:10:27.420 thank you mr senator blumenthal uh i move to postpone consideration of this resolution until
00:10:34.600 the committee has an opportunity to hear from dr fauci's attorney oh so you remember last week uh
00:10:44.060 dick blumenthal is that his name dick anyway he was like in tears over fauci so it's just you know
00:10:52.540 there's these party lines, right? Like one wants to protect this made man. The other one's like,
00:10:57.720 let's expose him. And sometimes the both parties agree, like this is a made man and we have to
00:11:03.980 protect him. So Marcella, you're our legal Eagle. What are your thoughts on this?
00:11:14.140 I mean, they voted for contempt. That's good. Um, I don't know where it's going to go. I,
00:11:20.360 but I like to see the pressure being put on it one thing I like about the hearing is that
00:11:26.480 I think it's Josh Hawley um or no I it was Senator Rand Paul said that this is just the beginning
00:11:36.000 because they were like there's other people you can interview there's this there's that
00:11:40.260 he's like yeah because we're going to so I like that um but I do disagree with um
00:11:48.600 Um, the senators, the Democrats, um, in regards to their legal view of, um, what happened and having him held in contempt because they're like, you can't hold someone in contempt for, you know, um, defending themselves and not self-incriminating under the fifth amendment.
00:12:11.880 but they failed to mention that he has a pardon for all those years um i think it's a it's something
00:12:20.900 that needs to be looked at further whether because we've never been here before actually
00:12:27.300 uh regarding someone being pardoned for this many years and then them taking the fifth again
00:12:33.720 um but josh uh holly as if i know him you know josh and i um we'll go way back um he was right
00:12:43.340 he was every uh question uh for the fifth amendment legally you look at it question by
00:12:51.440 question you don't look at the entire thing so him asking what the color of the carpet was
00:12:58.040 that in itself um then you have to have a reasonable believe that that question will lead
00:13:06.540 to some kind of self-incrimination which it doesn't and so um how do you judge that because
00:13:16.760 like you know if let's assume that fauci said okay i'm going to answer your question like you
00:13:22.960 know the color of the carpet and whatever else then i would expect that the next line of questioning
00:13:28.620 would just be leading him gradually towards stuff that might incriminate him and the whole point of
00:13:34.160 that game would then be to say okay now we hit something that you won't answer so you're hiding
00:13:38.900 something and that must be an incriminating thing like it's basically trying to get him to reveal
00:13:43.280 where the crime comes in so that's what um blumenthal i think was doing he was saying you
00:13:50.800 know i have to like i don't know if he's an attorney but he was at one of them was like oh
00:13:56.380 you know legally it has to be liberally construed meaning that you have to that reasonable uh
00:14:03.140 suspicion the reasonable understanding that you're gonna self-incriminate needs to be liberally
00:14:07.940 applied so you have to apply it everywhere he was taking your point owen but you made it even
00:14:14.900 better than him um no that's not how the court sees it the court sees a question by question
00:14:23.980 so if that particular question doesn't lead to any it can't possibly lead to anything
00:14:29.520 self-incriminating you should answer i understand that if you have the next question the next
00:14:35.560 question is like oh do you see covet on the carpet and did it is you know it's sitting
00:14:42.160 here right now and did it did it need to be six feet apart from you you know something like where
00:14:47.980 you're like meshing the carpet with what you want him to answer then that particular question fifth
00:14:54.780 amendment right because he has a reasonable uh fear of being in self-incriminated but it's
00:15:02.860 question by question which is why josh holly even even today said this is the reason why i asked the
00:15:09.740 question because it's about good faith um about Fauci's good faith of using the fifth amendment in
00:15:17.100 the correct way so but he didn't do it and that I would say when if you watch if you watch the
00:15:25.320 hearing again which I'm sure you won't because it's kind of like I don't know hearing him speak
00:15:31.280 his his fifth amendment thing but you see the lawyers behind him they kind of cringe when he
00:15:37.180 doesn't answer the what the color of the carpet is because they know that that particular thing
00:15:42.460 is not appropriate so not that that's a big deal of everything he's done in his life but um
00:15:50.020 i see youtube is back yes i was waiting for you to finish sorry youtube there was a glitch with
00:15:56.980 rumble and i i hit a button while marcella was talking and hope for the best and you've made it
00:16:01.940 in. And I was just talking to them. I was talking to them before talking and I was telling
00:16:08.380 them, Erica can't get you in. Once you're not in, you're not in. And I'm sorry. I was
00:16:12.780 I just took a wild chance and it worked. So thank God mistaken. I mistaken Erica made
00:16:17.820 it happen. Um, but hey, so they voted for contempt. Uh, the other thing they were going
00:16:25.980 on about is that they believe ran paul center ran paul is gonna send it up to the doj without
00:16:34.140 having the whole entire senate vote on it that i agree with them he is by by the rules of the
00:16:41.820 senate he is supposed to take it from committee to the full senate now you can you know laws so
00:16:51.840 you can see them different ways so you can argue that he could do it without doing that
00:16:57.360 but naturally um he should be able to take it to the senate and the senate should vote for it
00:17:04.080 right but we know how the senate is so all right so owen um i know we talked about this
00:17:11.200 the last time because i saw somebody asking in the chat you know what about um you know
00:17:17.760 how he made that statement first and like you're not supposed to make an opening statement like
00:17:22.240 the whole lois learner thing but anyway i don't know so i think that i don't know what i think
00:17:30.640 i don't know what i think because what i saw was if he got if they recommend it to the doj
00:17:36.480 that his punishment might be a thousand dollars and a year in prison or something like that like
00:17:43.760 Like, I was just like, what?
00:17:45.320 So he's allowed to make an initial statement.
00:17:49.160 And in Louis Lerner, from what Owen told us, that was not found to be detrimental.
00:17:56.900 But people are still talking about it.
00:17:58.540 Lawyers.
00:18:01.060 Lawyers talk all the time.
00:18:02.520 Congress did find that woman in contempt of Congress or whatever their finding was.
00:18:07.900 But then they referred that to the DOJ and the DOJ said, we're not going to pursue that.
00:18:11.640 like we don't agree with you basically so so him making a statement doesn't make him in contempt
00:18:19.380 when you know so what they voted for and maybe they think oh it was wrong and self-serving and
00:18:26.140 you know legally whatever it is but the reason why he's in contempt you guys is because he already
00:18:32.480 has a pardon so he can't there is a there is um oh my gosh walker something 1896 case 1896
00:18:41.080 i think um supreme court case which indicates that if you already have a pardon or some kind
00:18:48.360 of immune which gives it gives you immunity you are supposed to answer questions of congress
00:18:54.800 because you cannot self-incriminate because you already can't be prosecuted however i give fauci
00:19:01.820 oh i hate to say this oh marcella the benefit of the doubt because of the fact that it was
00:19:08.400 announced that he was going to be uh prosecuted for perjury beforehand you know i wouldn't if i
00:19:15.600 would have been senator rand paul and his counsel i would have canceled him not to say it out loud
00:19:23.440 just uh just go ahead the the one of the things that you learn as an attorney um is before you
00:19:30.240 go for the jugular in your case you don't announce it you just go do it and i would think that's the
00:19:36.720 way to do it yeah erica knows yeah i mean sneak attack why would you warn the enemy we were just
00:19:43.740 talking about that with iran right yeah yeah but back i mean back to the original point i do agree
00:19:48.880 that fauci is a creature of dc he is part of the dc mafia is the way i would describe it and
00:19:56.020 i i think i've said that for years when when all this was happening that it was clear to me
00:20:02.040 that Fauci had been in the government and in DC, that whole circle for so long, he knew how to
00:20:09.780 navigate that to keep himself out of trouble. He knew how to make sure certain things didn't end
00:20:15.220 up in an email or it wasn't on a government computer, or it wasn't something that could
00:20:19.880 be FOIA'd. And like, it was very clear that he knew his way around all this stuff, like very
00:20:24.520 adeptly. He had been practicing this sort of thing for years. And so I remember saying years
00:20:31.700 ago i don't think fauci's ever going to see any consequences from this because he's just too good
00:20:35.500 at it he's he's too good at playing that game to say even though i'm essentially committing crimes
00:20:41.260 i'm never going to be held accountable for this because there's not going to be any evidence that
00:20:45.100 ties me to anything or there's not going to be anything and i think this diary certainly is the
00:20:49.160 closest thing to it because it clearly does show that he lied a whole bunch and he was very deceptive
00:20:54.240 and so i don't think he ever expected that to get out and i'm kind of surprised he even wrote all
00:20:58.920 that stuff down especially letting it cross onto a government computer would you guys they have
00:21:04.760 his cell phone too recently our company softball team lost the big game by one run then dale tried
00:21:11.920 to console us with the quote winning isn't everything well dale and i are very different
00:21:18.340 i get early payout from bet365 if my team goes up big i get paid out instantly even if they blow
00:21:24.500 the lead later. Sound familiar,
00:21:26.820 Dale? Thanks, Bet365.

00:21:38.480 Summer heats up in FX's
00:21:40.600 The Shards.
00:21:42.940 Set in 80s Los Angeles,
00:21:45.000 The Shards follows a group of beautiful,
00:21:47.000 privileged prep school students
00:21:48.340 who are preyed on by The Trawler,
00:21:50.680 a serial killer targeting teenagers
00:21:52.700 across the city this fever dream of youth beauty sex and mystery is a must-see fx's the shards
00:22:00.620 now streaming on hulu on disney plus sign up now at disneyplus.com
00:22:05.800 yeah but i you know i still think i still expect him to be the weasel that's going to find a way
00:22:15.180 out of this stuff and protected probably because a lot of other people would be implicated if he
00:22:22.020 really was nailed to the wall, that there was clearly a lot of intelligence community
00:22:26.740 involvement here that I'm sure the government does not want released. And there's probably a
00:22:30.900 whole bunch of other people that people don't want coming to light. And so they're just going
00:22:36.380 to protect Fauci because otherwise it would all fall apart. Yeah. Well, all right. So then it
00:22:43.000 takes me to, so we did an extra credit segment on locals on scottadams.locals.com with Dr. Drew
00:22:50.780 and bj um and dr drew had watched something bj did on his locals and wanted to talk to bj about
00:22:59.260 something but then we took a left turn into fauciville and um here was our exchange it's
00:23:05.680 a few minutes long and then owen you'll react first to this i wrote a book on narcissism in
00:23:12.240 like 2010 or 8 or something and i wanted to put a chapter on this in there then and they they the
00:23:19.800 publisher said it was too speculative no one would get it i thought god i wish i had it because i
00:23:23.960 know there's going to be mass formation and there's going to be scapegoating the guillotines
00:23:30.300 will come out and there was no social media at the time i didn't know that the social media would be
00:23:34.920 the public square where the scaffolding is built and we have seen it writ we continue to see it
00:23:41.780 writ large and it's one of the most unhealthy things that humans can do it's why frankly one
00:23:46.880 the reason i'm a little worried about um what we're doing with dr fauci it's it there's a you
00:23:51.860 know everyone wants satisfaction and they want answers and they want truth and i do too but if
00:23:55.980 you start wanting to scapegoat you're you're engaging in this phenomenon again and it's it's
00:24:01.400 not healthy and and if you learn nothing from history once you bring out the guillotine
00:24:06.540 everyone goes on the guillotine so bring out he ended up on the guillotine yeah no i agree can
00:24:13.520 Can you bring that back to Dr. Fauci?
00:24:15.220 Because that's a current day example people can understand.
00:24:18.500 Why isn't he the scapegoat?
00:24:21.560 He is easily a scapegoat, right?
00:24:23.660 I mean, he affected tens of millions of lives.
00:24:27.540 He could easily go public and say, I did the best I could.
00:24:31.600 I made some errors, you know, but I was really in good faith trying to help.
00:24:35.860 I had this thing.
00:24:36.960 I didn't know how bad it could get.
00:24:38.520 And you could argue that he was trying to hide this and that.
00:24:40.640 If he just came forward and said that, there would be a lot of satisfaction, but there's a significant number of people, they want to see him in jail or something, something really violent happening to him.
00:24:53.100 And what I'm saying is, yes, that might be justified, it might even be justice, but once you start engaging in this scapegoating behavior, even when there's good reason for it, it just doesn't end well.
00:25:04.680 It just doesn't. I'm telling you, it's, you know, it's lawfare is sort of part of that as well. Lawfare is part of the scapegoating mechanism. You know, it's it concerns me.
00:25:15.100 Well, not to take a complete left turn, but I can say speaking for myself and other people I've spoken with. So when no one ever has to reap the consequences of their actions, which as the American general population sees, it becomes more frustrating watching to be like time after time after time, people are breaking laws, perhaps causing millions of deaths.
00:25:43.100 And when no one has a punishment, for lack of a better word, I think it makes the crowd more infuriated.
00:25:51.580 So I feel like, you know, for me and you, we'd be in trouble.
00:25:55.440 But then you see these people and nothing happens.
00:25:57.720 And I think that's bad for our psychology.
00:26:00.000 Look, Michael Gates is running for attorney general in California on the slogan, make crime illegal again.
00:26:07.860 Please.
00:26:08.620 And he's right.
00:26:09.520 Like, yes, I agree with you writ large that philosophically, you know, the DSA is going
00:26:14.880 the other way, right?
00:26:15.520 They want to get rid of prisons, get rid of police, get rid of everything.
00:26:18.120 And that's why this is happening.
00:26:19.620 That's why there are no consequences for many of these things.
00:26:22.480 I'm just saying, watch your scapegoating mechanism.
00:26:26.300 There's a guy named Rene Girard that famously wrote about the, he called it memetic passions,
00:26:32.820 but it's actually a little more, the way he was a literary sort of critic, but he was
00:26:39.440 put his finger on something very important which is that we have a when we form mobs we will
00:26:44.520 scapegoat and we're not happy until there's blood and it's the some of the most pathological
00:26:51.360 behaviors that humans can get into so it's one thing to go hey let the legal system take care
00:26:56.060 of it right um hopefully they will fine but he's got immunity he was given a you know all these
00:27:02.060 things that are going to prevent that from happening be frustrated don't let it happen
00:27:06.500 again, but don't insist on a scapegoat. That's all I'm saying. It's just an instinctive concern I
00:27:12.540 have. Look, I want the truth and I would love him to apologize too, but I'm also not into forced
00:27:18.440 apologies. There's this world, you got to apologize. No, no, no, no, no, no. There's
00:27:24.580 various ways to take accountability. Apology is the least effective, but it's the way narcissists
00:27:30.780 like to evoke their envious aggression on you. Thank you, Dr. Drew, for doing that extra credit
00:27:41.720 segment with us. We love you here. So, Owen, I'll just let you riff on that.
00:27:50.100 Yeah, well, I mean, I do think there's sort of different angles to look at this from. One is
00:27:55.420 like the justice system itself and i think all of us want justice and we feel really angry and
00:28:01.160 frustrated because we don't see it and it seems like there's this two-tier justice system where
00:28:05.940 someone like you or me if we had done something like this we'd be in prison but but someone like
00:28:11.480 fauci gets a pass and gets a pardon and gets you know all this special treatment and so i think
00:28:16.680 that's infuriating for a lot of people and i think that is something that's wrong you know just like
00:28:21.960 everybody's been harping on the no one's above the law thing it's like well you know actually
00:28:27.240 some people are um and you know it it's also very selective when politicians are saying that
00:28:34.280 because what they really mean is the other side shouldn't be above the law because i want to
00:28:37.600 punish them but when it comes to my side no no no no i didn't mean it that way um and so i you know
00:28:44.560 and i agree that there is this instinct that dr drew talked about in terms of you know
00:28:51.860 know getting sort of hyped up into a mob and that can be a very bad thing i mean we've all seen
00:28:57.600 kind of mob actions that have gone gone out of control and have ended with violence and and you
00:29:04.100 know there's plenty of examples of that through history that never seemed to go well but it is
00:29:09.020 kind of just part of human nature that people you know end up with these lynch mobs or whatever you
00:29:14.340 want to call them i mean honestly i think you know the whole george floyd is another example of that
00:29:18.240 where it's like it got whipped up into a frenzy
00:29:20.620 and Derek Chauvin's in prison today
00:29:22.900 and he probably shouldn't be
00:29:24.040 because I think as far as I can tell,
00:29:25.400 he did exactly what he was trained to do.
00:29:27.520 And in my opinion, allegedly,
00:29:30.180 I think George Floyd actually died of a fentanyl overdose.
00:29:33.340 But that to me was a similar example
00:29:37.680 of like people just had to punish somebody, right?
00:29:40.740 They couldn't let that go
00:29:42.280 without somebody being that scapegoat.
00:29:44.700 So it definitely does happen and it happens both ways.
00:29:46.740 It's not, you know, like one side is the only one that does this, but I do think we should be careful about that.
00:29:52.500 But at the same time, you know, personally, I still think Fauci was one of the central figures behind this whole situation, not just the response to it, but even creating it to begin with, with the science that led to it.
00:30:06.580 And so, you know, I've said many times before, and I'll say it again, I think Fauci is directly responsible for probably millions of deaths.
00:30:13.880 And so I can totally understand and I agree that, you know, myself that I want to see some kind of punishment or accountability for this. But at the same time, you know, I don't really expect to see it. And I don't want it to go around the legal process either. I don't want our whole system to crumble because of vigilante justice or other things.
00:30:33.740 But I think there is a balance there, too, between if you don't have real justice, then it's likely to lead to vigilante justice, as we've seen recently with Luigi Mangione and all sorts of other situations that we would all wish didn't happen.
00:30:48.280 But, you know, I do think that it is that balancing act of, you know, you need to have enough justice to prevent people from losing faith in the system.
00:31:00.660 Yeah, I agree with that.
00:31:01.880 Like a little justice right now might go a long way to, like I said, release that pressure
00:31:07.160 release valve because, you know, even like prepping for the show every day when I'm like
00:31:11.900 reading, I'm sure this happens to all of you, but like I'm reading news stories and I'm
00:31:15.280 just like, oh my God, like I wish I could just bring things that aren't, you know, so
00:31:19.080 like infuriating, but it feels like everything's infuriating right now.
00:31:24.320 And that's why I brought you the tongue choir yesterday because it was like, okay, here's
00:31:28.480 something that shouldn't infuriate you.
00:31:30.340 but um so marcella do you want to say anything on that clip
00:31:34.980 oh mute you're on mute yes i do um i'm 100 agree with dr drew and 100 disagree with him
00:31:45.320 i agree that scapegoating is wrong and i understand the mob mentality i don't agree with
00:31:52.880 um would you call it lawfare what they did to trump um what they do what trump was doing
00:32:02.240 to other people at times i won't mention names but um but the scapegoating okay
00:32:09.200 scapegoating is the practice of unfairly singling out a person this is not unfair um
00:32:15.760 Fauci is not in my opinion my opinion is not innocent so finding justice and trying to seek
00:32:27.320 as congress answers to questions that they have because of information that they have
00:32:34.420 gathered recently as well as I believe they took they have custody of his phone now so I'm sure
00:32:43.240 they're going to find out more stuff. That is, uh, one there, that's their job is to find this
00:32:51.040 out. Um, if I understand what he means when, and I think I just spoke about it, about Senator
00:32:59.160 Rand Paul saying, we're going to prosecute for, for perjury before perjury even happens, you know?
00:33:04.840 So I understand having that tone to let's, let's, let's prosecute, let's jail him.
00:33:11.780 maybe the tone has to be toned down because you want to gather everything and then perhaps see
00:33:20.960 if there's enough there to prosecute um but i don't believe the word scapegoating is is should
00:33:29.360 be used with fauci yeah i think i think maybe he picked the wrong word and we sat with it for too
00:33:36.580 long but it i i'm guessing that what he meant was like we get so worked up that we're just like we're
00:33:43.500 not going to be satisfied until he's dead you know what i mean yeah so it's like he's right like we
00:33:48.300 gotta calm down that way but but um i think what what is that saying the saying is revenge is best
00:33:58.020 served oh cold or something like that yeah cold i i just think that we need to see listen like
00:34:06.340 this was to to quote joe biden this was no joke i mean covid was brutal and traumatizing and i want
00:34:16.980 to i want to see something happen to him nothing i'm not saying i don't i want to see something
00:34:22.340 happen to him you guys like let me just make that clear marcella i'm not saying i want something
00:34:26.260 like physically bad to happen to him i need to see accountability okay i'm talking about
00:34:30.820 accountability yeah um go ahead but you know what i think dr drew would agree with and i would mind
00:34:38.740 read him and you and everybody else we want to see just as being done in a less um scarlet letter
00:34:50.100 guillotine search for him and get him because they're like we've said previously there's many
00:34:58.180 other people besides Fauci that were involved and I don't see Dr. Bricks being brought to,
00:35:06.100 to the Senate. I don't see any of the other people. I believe that one of his aides or
00:35:12.820 somebody, an assistant is being prosecuted and that's great. So today when I heard Senator
00:35:18.340 Rand Paul say, this is just the beginning and there's going to be many other people that are
00:35:23.060 going to be put and question i i liked hearing that because i think what what the the sorry i'm
00:35:31.460 going long but the optics of just like fauci must be taken and then we'll like put him out to the
00:35:39.220 pasture do whatever we need to do it just the tone and the optics aren't good yeah so sticking on the
00:35:49.700 theme because i want to get to um a scott clip that i have but i just want to wrap up this like
00:35:54.420 made man mafia stuff so um i'm gonna play a clip from john solomon um his company is called just
00:36:02.420 the news and i think this was on steve bannon's show um man i'm telling you did you guys in the
00:36:10.500 chat do you did you do you trust uh tom cotton we know thune is our pain in our ass for sure but i
00:36:18.260 never trusted Tom Cotton. But anyway, listen to another protected made man and what's happening
00:36:24.940 here. I'm going to go back to being a reporter for a second. I do not know this information
00:36:29.820 from anything I've gained in government. I can tell you with 100% certainty that Republicans
00:36:36.160 are obstructing the investigation into weaponization. There are two Republicans I can
00:36:42.400 name by name, Senator John Thune and Senator Tom Cotton. They have refused for months,
00:36:50.300 four months now. The first request came in late January, early February. They are refusing thus
00:36:56.460 far to provide to Joe DiGenova, to the prosecutors in Florida, to the Miami U.S. Attorney, to the
00:37:03.360 Justice Department, the transcripts of John Brennan's interviews with the Senate Intelligence
00:37:09.640 Committee. They have refused to do so. I'm going to call out a third name because I don't understand
00:37:14.840 the Justice Department's behavior. When a body that's separate of the executive branch doesn't
00:37:19.920 comply, every other time in American history, go back to Iran-Contra, go back to Watergate,
00:37:25.580 the Justice Department subpoenas the Congress. For some reason, the acting attorney general,
00:37:31.140 who wants to be the permanent attorney general, has not authorized a subpoena to the United States
00:37:37.940 Senate to get those documents. Those documents will allow the prosecutors in Miami to decide
00:37:43.420 whether the chargers are warranted against John Brennan. The idea that Republican senators will
00:37:49.500 not cooperate with the Republican administration is ridiculous politically, but it's illegal.
00:37:56.660 It's obstruction. There ought to be a grand jury subpoena sitting in the Senate clerk's office,
00:38:01.160 and there ought to be a court case yesterday compelling this because the Justice Department
00:38:06.680 has been delayed by eight months by two Republican senators who have the responsibility
00:38:11.460 and the ability to deliver this. You want to get to the grand conspiracy case, you need the missing
00:38:16.700 evidence and the Senate possesses it. And as of this date, I can find no evidence they've turned
00:38:22.180 it over. And there is no grand jury subpoena because the clerk of the Senate would have to
00:38:26.660 report it publicly. I just checked the congressional record again today. So Todd Blanche, Tom Cotton,
00:38:32.440 John Thune, you got some explaining to do to the war room posse.
00:38:36.680 Recently, our company's softball team lost the big game by one run.
00:38:41.020 Then Dale tried to console us with the quote,
00:38:43.440 winning isn't everything.
00:38:45.300 Well, Dale and I are very different.
00:38:48.980 I get early payout from Bet365.
00:38:50.920 If my team goes up big, I get paid out instantly,
00:38:53.720 even if they blow the lead later.
00:38:55.720 Sound familiar, Dale?
00:38:57.500 Thanks, Bet365.
00:38:59.140 Must be 19 or older, Ontario only.

00:39:29.480 why isn't that happening? Oh, and I'm going to come to you first on this one. You know, it's,
00:39:34.140 I want to say we always have to point out, even if the Republicans are doing something like this
00:39:42.000 or the Democrats, it doesn't matter what party someone's on. This is bad. And they're blocking
00:39:48.520 this from happening and therefore protecting John Brennan. And so Sandy was saying to me,
00:39:56.360 You know, like, well, once CIA, always CIA, because was it Tom Cotton that was in the CIA?
00:40:02.920 So is he protecting his own?
00:40:05.300 Like, what do you know, what do you think?
00:40:07.160 Just hypothesize.
00:40:09.980 Well, I think it is another thing where politics are wrapped up into this.
00:40:17.140 The deep state is wrapped up into this.
00:40:18.800 clearly john brennan was all was you know running a lot of dirty ops for many years and i'm sure
00:40:26.920 this is one of the central ones um and so i think clearly in my mind people like thune and cotton
00:40:36.760 are also wrapped up in the deep state and don't want all of this stuff revealed um some of it
00:40:42.960 might be because it has something to do with january 6th or whatever and they're in you know
00:40:47.740 like all up in arms just because they were so afraid essentially when they
00:40:53.620 were subject to that where they felt like they might have some actual
00:41:00.300 physical danger.
00:41:01.400 And Congress also has another legal standard or another standard about,
00:41:05.540 you know, it's one thing if somebody commits a crime,
00:41:08.340 but if it's against us, well, then it's a completely different thing.
00:41:11.600 Like, you know, they took our phone records. Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:41:14.540 You know,
00:41:14.740 I don't really care that they do it for millions of other Americans, but you can't.
00:41:21.140 But I think it's, you know, to me, it's just a clear example of the deep state protecting their own.
00:41:27.500 And I don't know if I could be as critical as Solomon is, I mean, justifiably, but of Blanche, just because he's in this moment where he's trying to be confirmed and he's being confirmed by that same Senate.
00:41:41.180 And so he's obviously courting the votes of all those senators and doesn't want to do anything to piss anybody off. And so from a political perspective, I would understand why Blanche might just be like, you know what, maybe we'll do that later. Or I just won't tackle that or go into that controversial area right now because I don't want to lose a whole bunch of votes.
00:41:59.120 I'm not defending it because I don't think Thune and others should be offended. They should be supporting this, you know, investigation into the weaponization of government. But I can understand at least politically why Blanche would be a little shy to say, you know, let me go step into this controversy right now because he's trying to get confirmed.
00:42:20.580 and you know you can have positive or negative feelings about blanche i know he has his own
00:42:26.220 in my opinion questionable background of like is he really on trump's side is he really part
00:42:31.240 of the deep state you know because he has history on the other side i think as well
00:42:34.520 but i do think he's been doing a lot of good things in general and and trying to move things
00:42:41.960 in the right direction on a lot of things aligned with trump's agenda now again once he's confirmed
00:42:47.120 confirmed it could blip you know i don't know i'm not sure that i can really trust him but i i do
00:42:53.340 think that um you know to me it's disgusting that these senators are blocking this investigation
00:42:58.200 i think we should be trying to get rid of the weaponization of government stuff i think it was
00:43:03.580 terrible all the things that happened especially during the biden administration about the
00:43:07.720 weaponization of government but you know all the way back to obama really and um i think there
00:43:12.780 probably were a lot of really bad crimes committed throughout that whole process and i think we should
00:43:17.420 get to the bottom of it and we should stop it from happening again so i'm hoping we'll get there
00:43:22.220 uh i hope so too marcella do you want to quickly comment because i want to get to the scott clip
00:43:28.700 um no i don't have to oh no you i want you to oh okay the cia i don't know if they're watching but
00:43:35.980 But so I think regarding you asked about Todd Blanche, and I think he's going to wait until
00:43:42.440 he gets he becomes confirmed attorney general, and then we'll see what happens then.
00:43:48.540 I think we need to table this because I'm sure he's going to go.
00:43:54.620 Maybe, maybe I shouldn't say anything, because remember, you should never say to your interview
00:43:59.080 what you're going to do.
00:44:00.100 But I think confirmation is needed for him.
00:44:02.940 Yeah. I mean, that's kind of what I think too, but it's, you know, I don't know. Maybe he needs
00:44:09.620 to go talk to Cotton and Thune also and just be like, listen, I don't understand, but the deep
00:44:16.080 state, the swamp is alive and active. Oh, by the way, is Uphill Gardener on YouTube? Uphill Gardener,
00:44:25.660 I have a news report for you when we're done with Scott's clip and we're done with the discussion.
00:44:31.280 So I read your comments. So we have a special report coming to you after this. So you guys,
00:44:37.620 let's listen to Scott. This is just great. Loser versus winner. Okay. Let's listen to Scott. I
00:44:44.000 think this is like maybe seven minutes or so, and then we'll talk on the other side.
00:44:51.980 Hey everybody. It's a very special single topic, Beriscope today. I'm going to wait for a
00:45:01.260 thousand people to jump in, and then we're going to jump right into it. It's going to be short.
00:45:06.400 There will be no simultaneous sip. We already did that today. It's going to be on one topic,
00:45:11.640 and this topic will change the lives of some of you. Others of you will say, I kind of knew that,
00:45:19.540 but it will give you a new way to package it so you can convince other people, maybe change
00:45:24.440 somebody else's life by using this communication method. So this is about the losing way to look
00:45:32.680 at the world versus the winning way to look at the world. This is something I've noticed over
00:45:38.740 my lifetime, that people who are having a tough time making it in this world have very similar
00:45:45.300 thinking patterns. And the people who are doing great have also very similar but different
00:45:51.080 thinking patterns from the people who are not doing so well. And I want to show you those so
00:45:56.280 you can choose the one that works for you. Let's start with the loser frame. This is an unproductive
00:46:03.840 way of looking at the world. It doesn't mean that the people who think this way are losers.
00:46:08.900 It does mean that the technique is not a winning technique. And it goes like this. This is one way
00:46:15.240 of looking at the world. There are people in the world who are continually doing stuff you don't
00:46:21.040 like. And those people are having a big effect on you. They're making your brain register all this
00:46:27.860 stress. And then your brain is sending that stress into your body, and it's making you feel bad in a
00:46:33.380 variety of ways. It's making you sick and unhappy and lose sleep and everything else that stress
00:46:38.400 does. And then all of that is, of course, going back into your brain figuratively, or at least
00:46:45.100 conceptually. You could think of it as a loop in which it just makes you sad. Now, how do you fix
00:46:51.460 this situation if that's how you see the world? It's tough. The only thing you can do is wait for
00:46:57.920 other people to act different than normal people. That's it. Your only hope of getting out of this
00:47:06.660 is if other people stop acting like regular human beings all of a sudden, because they're acting
00:47:13.120 like normal people. It's not really reasonable to expect that they'll just stop acting that
00:47:19.300 way. So here's a permanent losing framework. If you see the world like this, you see yourself
00:47:25.240 as a victim of these other people who just don't seem to change. So what's the productive
00:47:31.440 way to look at this? Well, without changing any facts in the world, without making anything
00:47:37.200 different about what you perceive, here's the way winners look at the world. And it's
00:47:44.080 pretty consistent. I think you'll notice that the winners often think this way. It goes
00:47:50.380 like this. The way winners think is that your brain has different parts. And again, this
00:47:58.320 is conceptual. I'm not saying everybody who does well in life thinks of it exactly this
00:48:02.040 way. But once you see it, I think you'll agree. But we have this little executive decision part
00:48:07.640 of our brain, just a small part that can make rational decisions. For example, that part of
00:48:14.000 your brain could say, I'd better go to college. I'd better learn a skill. Just a rational decision.
00:48:20.620 This part says, I hear it's good to go to the gym. So I'll build that into my schedule. Rational
00:48:27.540 decision. We're not rational species. This big part of your brain is doing a whole bunch of
00:48:32.840 irrational stuff. But still, there is a little part of our brain that can make perfectly rational
00:48:37.780 decisions about the easy stuff. Do I go to the gym? What kind of a diet do I have? You know,
00:48:43.840 the things that take care of yourself. Now let's say you make good executive decisions. You do the
00:48:49.680 things that people through the centuries know work. Increasing your talent stack works every time.
00:48:58.080 Learning works basically every time.
00:49:00.880 Being nice to people, having good manners, staying in a jail.
00:49:04.380 They're easy, logical things that you can make your body do.
00:49:08.820 You can make your body not pick up that piece of cake,
00:49:13.140 and instead you can make your body pick up something that's a little healthier for you.
00:49:17.280 You can make your body have the right body language so people appreciate you, etc.
00:49:22.940 Under this model, you make these little executive decisions about what your body will be doing.
00:49:28.800 Now, that includes your mind and includes what you say.
00:49:31.500 I'm not talking about literally just your arms and legs.
00:49:34.920 I'm talking about going to school.
00:49:36.860 I'm talking about driving across town, if it makes sense to do that.
00:49:41.000 All the things that your body does.
00:49:44.740 And in this model, everything you do influences other people.
00:49:48.080 Do you notice how this is the reverse of the loser opinion?
00:49:51.380 In the loser framework, other people are the cause of all your problems.
00:49:57.540 In this framework, you're making decisions, your body is going out and doing things,
00:50:01.880 and you are the one influencing other people.
00:50:04.920 The way they treat you is an outcome of your executive decision and what you did.
00:50:11.540 Let's say your executive decision was to go to school and get a degree.
00:50:15.400 Does that affect other people? Absolutely.
00:50:18.220 Those other people now feel differently about you.
00:50:21.160 they act differently, they offer you jobs. If you tell your body to act polite, even when you're not
00:50:27.760 feeling polite, does that affect other people? Absolutely. Other people will respond to your
00:50:34.260 politeness, usually with politeness. They will like you better, etc. If you tell your body to
00:50:39.940 show interest in people, even if you don't really feel it, so you ask them about themselves, you
00:50:45.980 listen, you're a good listener, does that affect other people? Absolutely. If you act like a good
00:50:51.660 listener, even if you're not feeling it, but if you act like it, if you get your arms and legs and
00:50:56.360 mouth to be a good listener, these people will be influenced. They'll say, I like that person,
00:51:02.560 good listener, cares about people, empathy. I think that would be a good manager,
00:51:06.660 somebody I want to meet with, etc. Now in this model, if your executive decision moves your
00:51:12.900 body, your body influences other people. Both the things that your body is doing and the things that
00:51:18.060 other people are responding with are making you happy. In this model, you are controlling the
00:51:24.700 entire flow. Now, does that mean that the loser frame is 100% debunked? No. They both run at the
00:51:32.560 same time. It is true that other people are just doing stuff that's making you unhappy. You can't
00:51:37.940 change that. But you can understand your world differently and take control. If you understand
00:51:44.140 that your executive decisions that move your body are what is programming other people,
00:51:50.460 at least the other people that are affected by you directly, you're programming those people.
00:51:55.640 And that programming is the thing that makes you happy. Because they are loving you, they are
00:51:59.860 hiring you, they're giving you raises, they're saying good things about you, they're becoming
00:52:03.640 your friends, they're doing you favors. And it's all because they're getting something out of it.
00:52:07.940 They're not doing it because they're good people, although some might be.
00:52:11.720 They're doing it because you program them.
00:52:14.180 You program them by the way you act.
00:52:18.100 That is the winning frame.
00:52:20.520 Now, you're probably thinking to yourself,
00:52:24.040 who do you know who has the winning frame versus the losing frame?
00:52:28.380 And this is the sort of lesson that is going to become more profound as you think about it.
00:52:34.300 The more you think about it, you're going to start noticing people.
00:52:37.940 the people who just can't figure out how to make it in life are all the people who think they're
00:52:43.060 victims of what other people are doing. The moment you can reframe that as you are programming
00:52:50.900 other people, which, by the way, is a different way of explaining the Dale Carnegie method.
00:52:57.900 There's a reason that Dale Carnegie has been a best-selling book for how many decades? Decades
00:53:05.080 after decades, it's because it works. And the Dale Carnegie method, among other things,
00:53:12.640 teaches a wide variety of things. But one of the things that I find most important
00:53:16.440 is that you learn that you are the agent of reprogramming your environment. People will
00:53:23.060 respond to you based on what you do. So you are programming them all the time. If you allow them
00:53:30.740 to program you, they will. They will. They'll fill in the blank. If you're not programming
00:53:36.060 the people around you, they will program you. Guaranteed. So you only have those two choices.
00:53:42.000 Get programmed and have no control over your life, or become the programmer.
00:53:47.880 Somebody in the comments is saying, hello, Jordan Peterson. I would contend, I haven't heard Jordan
00:53:54.220 Peterson say this exactly, but I'm pretty sure it's compatible with the things he says.
00:53:59.400 You will notice that all the people that you recognize are good at this stuff, meaning good at understanding strategies for being successful, I would be willing to bet that 100% are compatible with what I just said.
00:54:16.260 Probably every person who really gets it, probably every person who's ever made a billion dollars, understands that they are the agents programming other people.
00:54:27.060 As soon as you think it's the other way around, that's what's going to happen.
00:54:31.440 It's self-fulfilling.
00:54:33.120 So, yes, I think you'll see this quite a bit.
00:54:36.360 I thought I would put this in one crisp little video, and I'm going to end it right here.
00:54:42.200 But I hope that was helpful, and happy Valentine's Day.
00:54:48.540 Happy Valentine's Day, everyone.
00:54:50.340 So great. Another amazing always lesson from Scott. And I'm just laughing. So for those of
00:55:00.700 you not on Locals, EJ, you might hear us talking about EJ sometimes over here on Locals. He's sort
00:55:09.020 of like Uphill Gardner over on YouTube, but EJ's got more like anti-Semitism in him. It's kind of
00:55:18.140 an inside joke, but not really. So EJ is saying, well, how do I program people to unblock me?
00:55:24.380 Because a lot of people have blocked him and the chat, so smart, they pointed out, well, you,
00:55:29.860 you program them to block you. So, you know, you can block, you can program people in a positive
00:55:36.460 way or a negative way, how they think about you. So you're, you know, you, you have to be careful
00:55:41.980 how you're using this persuasion technique and what Scott just taught you, because you could go
00:55:47.480 in either direction. So, um, Marcella, I'll come to you first. Um, I love this lesson and I oftentimes
00:55:55.220 hear from people, well, this is just how they act. And she always says the same thing. And,
00:56:00.480 you know, what am I supposed to do? And, you know, I love how Scott's like, you know, you can,
00:56:04.920 you can tell yourself, you know, like let's reprogram this person by the things that you're
00:56:09.540 doing yourself. Um, do you do that? I'm assuming you do with your job, especially.
00:56:14.240 yeah you know like sometimes in my job i have people i have i hate to say clients are opposing
00:56:22.980 counsel they're doing a certain thing i'm like um maybe it's the way that i'm acting is making them
00:56:30.020 or how how scott would put it program um so i have to reprogram the program and do it better but
00:56:38.760 he he specifically um to be a winner you shouldn't think that what's happening to you that you're a
00:56:49.500 victim of what's happening to you you should uh reprogram yourself or pro or look at the program
00:56:56.240 you're using of yourself towards the outer world and change that you know so that's key yeah and
00:57:04.240 just practice just practice doing it and i think owen if you're if you're like putting it in the
00:57:10.800 forefront of your head like i'm gonna practice doing this and then i'm gonna see what the result
00:57:14.760 is and you'll see that the result is different and things do change that you get more excited
00:57:19.140 about that and i'm assuming this is something you teach your sons i mean there is so much in
00:57:26.040 this micro lesson it's kind of incredible like it's it he presents it as such a simple idea and
00:57:30.900 it is but you know he he ties so much into it i mean we you know we are going through how to win
00:57:35.980 friends and influence people in my subscriber spaces with my ex-subscribers right now and
00:57:40.360 we're talking about a lot of those ideas that he mentioned from dale carnegie he mentioned jordan
00:57:44.340 peterson jordan does have a lot of things that are right in line with this his future authoring
00:57:49.200 program is right in line with that where it's essentially just a simple writing exercise but
00:57:53.360 the whole idea of it is is right along the lines of what scott just said where he's saying okay
00:57:58.300 let's identify all the, you know, let's identify the future we want, like what a good future would
00:58:04.160 look like for me. And then let's look at it. Let's also define what a bad future would look
00:58:08.940 like for me, you know, just kind of think, think about, okay, what, what's a good future and a bad
00:58:13.880 future. And, and then now we've done that and it's in your own terms, whatever you think is good.
00:58:21.140 Now let's identify what things I could do that would lead me towards the good future and what
00:58:26.400 things i could do that would lead me towards the bad future and they tested this in a school and
00:58:31.240 it actually like reduced dropout rates from high school significantly it raised grades like a whole
00:58:38.460 letter grade especially for the low performers it didn't help the high performers as much probably
00:58:42.580 because they were already doing this but you know the low performers had helped and so i think it's
00:58:48.120 been shown statistically or scientifically to work um so i think there's a lot of power in that and
00:58:54.260 And of course, you know, Marcella will appreciate that it's the whole Jocko Willink philosophy
00:58:58.120 of extreme ownership, that if you take ownership of yourself and you take ownership of the
00:59:01.700 situation, even if you think I'm a victim, you know, even if that thought enters your
00:59:05.620 head, you don't accept that and just say, oh, well, I guess I'm powerless.
00:59:08.320 No, you take charge and you say, I'm going to do something to change this.
00:59:11.680 I'm going to do something to make this better.
00:59:14.240 And, you know, if you want to have people unblock you, you know, the way to start thinking
00:59:18.780 about that is, well, why are they blocking me?
00:59:20.380 and what can I do differently that would not lead to that outcome?
00:59:24.860 And Dale Carnegie certainly would say it's a lot about thinking about other people and what they want.
00:59:29.820 It's not about just expressing what you want because you feel like it.
00:59:34.140 It's more of the frame is about other people, taking genuine interest in other people,
00:59:39.440 figuring out what they want and how you can help them get what they want.
00:59:43.000 And so if you think about things in that way and you get outside your own head of just,
00:59:47.200 well, I just say this stuff because I feel like it and this is what I believe.
00:59:49.800 You know, you could do that, but you're taking this kind of self-centered view that won't be very well received by other people. And so you have to think through those things and say, how do I serve other people? And that ties it into the success frame of saying, if you're helping other people and serving other people, they're going to naturally want to pay you, or they're going to want to give you rewards for that, or they're going to treat you differently in a better way because of that, and you are going to be more successful. So I think it's a great micro lesson and just a lot of powerful ideas packed into a few minutes.
01:00:19.300 I'm so glad we got to that today.
01:00:20.900 I wanted to do it yesterday, but like we just get going and going.
01:00:24.480 So EJ, if you're sincere that you would like to have people unblock you, maybe a few people
01:00:32.760 will give it a shot and then just, you know, maybe you can make your posts a little bit
01:00:38.960 less aggressive and see what happens, you know, try something different.
01:00:44.920 I do read everybody's comments after the show.
01:00:47.680 I just want to make sure that, you know, we're all caught up and there are, there's a lot of
01:00:51.280 shit posting. There's a lot of people that just want to be provocative and just like always be
01:00:56.000 the contrarian or like nitpick at something. And it's so silly. It's just like, consider that
01:01:01.660 you're talking to a group of people you really don't know. There's a bunch of them. The beloveds
01:01:06.200 know each other a lot better, but you know, maybe just like be, you know, be the person,
01:01:11.900 like you want to represent yourself in a good way, then maybe change your wording a little or
01:01:16.640 come at a comment with a little bit more care or something constructive and not like,
01:01:21.780 you know, childish. That's just my opinion. So Uphill Gardner, for you, I saw that you said
01:01:29.180 the girls don't care about the reflecting pool anymore because Trump is trying to
01:01:35.980 prosecute an innocent man. I honestly haven't followed the story at all. There's been so much
01:01:41.700 going on. So I asked Marcella to do a big 20 second deep dive into this story and we care.
01:01:49.640 We just want you to know we care about the reflecting pool and Marcella is going to give
01:01:53.180 us the update. So I have the update for folding. What was the folding umbrella Piro? So Trump is
01:02:03.740 not happy about, um, our, um, judge Jeanine Pirro, who is now us attorney
01:02:10.200 Jeanine Pirro for DC, she's over them.
01:02:13.620 Um, so there was allegations and, um, an indictment dismissal of a former
01:02:21.120 Olympic canoeist, David Hearn, who was accused of allegedly destruct,
01:02:26.880 destroying the government property at the Lincoln Memorial, uh, reflecting pool.
01:02:32.400 Um, he's upset that, that she dismissed the case.
01:02:36.840 Um, one thing you guys have to understand is when you, as a prosecutor or prosecuting
01:02:44.280 something like this, you go from indictment to actually doing a trial because it's criminal
01:02:51.440 act, uh, it has to be beyond reasonable doubt.
01:02:54.800 You have to have a lot of evidence, which is good.
01:02:57.440 I mean, it is good for everybody.
01:02:59.000 It's good for Trump.
01:03:00.000 for me to have that high standard.
01:03:03.700 I know we're, we're about to, we're about to go into over the hour, but, um, the reasoning
01:03:11.940 behind Janine Pirro dropping this is that there was evidence that the, they did not
01:03:19.320 know that the allegedly that the interior, the, the department of the interior had represented
01:03:26.200 the damage came from the people um on the ground because he was not um
01:03:33.240 david hearn who was indicted was not the only one there was a few other uh misdemeanor vandals
01:03:39.960 justin carino well anyways i don't want to name them but the there's a few of them and but the
01:03:47.160 issue is that later on they found um the janine piero group uh found evidence from the interior
01:03:55.480 department that represented that the damage was caused by the actual um work that was done on the
01:04:05.640 place the contract the no-bid contract um and so she had to dismiss the the misdemeanors and she
01:04:13.560 had to dismiss the felony uh indictment so president trump um called her up to the white
01:04:22.200 house i don't know what occurred um there obviously but she brought a huge amount of
01:04:29.880 uh documents with her to visit him and i'm sure she made a case for why she dropped it um and i
01:04:37.800 do have to um i don't know if i agree because you know none of us know what she knows and what trump
01:04:45.400 nose and everything else but i but i agree with her independence um in regards to if there's not
01:04:52.520 enough evidence that you have to dismiss sure okay so i don't i don't have an opinion um uphill but
01:05:01.240 i hope that this satisfies your itch we care about the reflecting pool and we care about you and
01:05:07.080 you're you're uh wanting to hear a hear us talk about it so thanks marcella thanks owen thanks
01:05:13.720 everybody for being here tomorrow. King Randall, he's here with us tomorrow. I know I'm so excited.
01:05:21.520 My hope for tomorrow, you guys, is that maybe some of you moms and dads or aunts and uncles,
01:05:27.760 or like someone like me, no kids, maybe we will get, you know, tripped into an idea of being able
01:05:35.480 to help our community of parents or kids. He has so many great ideas of how he's got like groups of
01:05:43.280 dads working together. There could be groups of moms. There could just be groups of people that
01:05:48.240 could help the kids out there. So maybe we can spark some kind of great idea to be useful in
01:05:54.980 that way for the children of our future. Okay. So as always, a closing sip and a closing thank you
01:06:03.340 to Scott and Shelly for allowing the show to continue. I want to thank Marcella and Owen for
01:06:07.740 a great show again today. And to every single person who shows up here, thank you for getting
01:06:12.700 to know us and understanding us and letting this thing just play out. And we appreciate it. Every
01:06:21.360 day is different. So I know some people are like, I want to see Scott 24-7. You totally can. Right
01:06:28.300 here on this channel is every YouTube video he ever made. So if you want to see Scott 24-7,
01:06:35.100 scroll back and just pick any video. It will be gold. Okay? So please just know that everything

01:07:06.100 i'm gonna do pattern recognition if anyone wants to stay if not we'll see you tomorrow
01:07:10.320 hi everyone
01:07:11.880 bye
01:07:12.620 this must not like that
01:07:18.760 pattern recognition
01:07:19.760 once you realize that the humans are not
01:07:24.760 logical machines
01:07:26.380 we're pattern recognition machines
01:07:28.160 pattern recognition machines
01:07:31.940 it's that pattern recognition
01:07:34.900 that isn't very good
01:07:36.060 pattern recognition
01:07:38.680 is what makes you a racist
01:07:39.860 Pattern recognition is what makes you an ageist, a sexist, everything bad because your patterns
01:07:49.860 are all you have.
01:07:51.860 You're not really a logical person who reasons everything out.
01:07:58.660 Your brain isn't big enough.
01:07:59.660 You wouldn't have enough time.
01:08:01.660 So instead you default to these little biases which are determined by patterns.
01:08:07.660 we're pattern recognition machines
01:08:13.460 pattern recognition machines
01:08:17.200 your patterns are all you have
01:08:20.940 you're not really a logical person
01:08:25.040 now the problem is many of those patterns are fake
01:08:28.540 let's say you had met three elbonians in your life
01:08:32.120 and every one of them slapped you in the face with a glove
01:08:36.020 The next time you met an Elbonian, you'd be like,
01:08:38.480 oh, no thank you, I don't want to get slapped in the face with a glove.
01:08:41.900 Those last three Elbonians were pretty rough on me.
01:08:44.940 But, it's only three Elbonians.
01:08:47.280 The odds that your pattern is predictive, probably low.
01:08:55.000 Probably low.
01:08:56.760 We fall victim to patterns,
01:08:58.740 but you can also use patterns to convince people of things.
01:09:02.200 if you are consistent people say oh this person's always honest
01:09:07.960 so patterns are a tool but they're also our biggest defect
01:09:11.940 they're also our biggest defect
01:09:19.540 we're pattern recognition machines
01:09:29.080 Pattern Recognition Machine
01:09:32.720 Your Patterns Are All You Have
01:09:36.520 You're Not Really A Logical Person
01:09:40.620 We're Pattern Recognition Machine
01:09:44.080 Pattern Recognition Machine
01:09:47.860 Your Patterns Are All You Have
01:09:51.660 You're Not Really A Logical Person
01:09:59.080 And then of course understanding the brain
01:10:28.880 as a visualization machine
01:10:30.920 is very, very important.
01:10:34.460 Because visualization is the biggest,
01:10:37.020 most powerful part of your brain.
01:10:38.860 It's the part that influences you most.
01:10:42.480 Understanding the brain
01:10:44.000 as a visualization machine
01:10:46.300 is very, very important.
01:10:49.980 Because visualization is the biggest,
01:10:52.140 most powerful part of your brain.
01:10:54.000 It's the part that influences you most.
