00:00:39.000Now, there are two possible reasons for debate to be useful.
00:00:42.000First, when you might convince the person you're debating, and second, when you might convince the audience.
00:00:45.000If neither one of those things is true, you're probably wasting your time.
00:00:48.000Well, I think it's fair to say a lot of people wasted their time last Friday, which is when there was a debate between Candace Owens and Andrew Wilson over who killed Charlie Kirk.
00:00:59.000Now, moment of rare agreement is never going to happen again.0.99
00:01:04.000Between me and true America hating piece of crap, Hassan Piker.0.61
00:01:09.000Not the attitude Hassan Piker is about to project, but what he says here about what Candace Owens has done to Charlie Kirk's memory and to his family.0.98
00:02:20.000Well, yeah, of course he is, because it turns out that Candace Owens has basically turned what would have been a referendum on radical trans rhetoric and what it means for America into a complete mess, a moral hazard, just a disaster area.0.93
00:02:37.000So, of course, the Sun Piker is super happy.0.72
00:02:38.000So, this debate was a three plus hour debate.
00:02:43.000Which basically was like walking through the halls of a psychotic ward.
00:02:50.000And so we'll go through some of it and try to pull out what is substantive from it.
00:02:52.000But lots of people watched it, which is the reason we're commenting on it.
00:02:55.000Because again, people are now treating matters of truth as matters of entertainment.
00:02:59.000And this is the bigger message here that when a public begins to treat matters of baseline truth as matters of pure entertainment, of pure just distraction, what you end up with is the worst form of political debate and the worst form.
00:03:19.000This thing has 1.5 million views on Patrick Bett David's channel.
00:03:23.000PBD moderated this, by which we really mean that if you watch the thing, he basically sat in the center and looked as though he wanted to be anywhere else except in the middle of this mess.
00:03:32.0004.3 million views on Kansas' channel and another half million or so on Wilson.
00:03:37.000So 6.5 million views on YouTube alone in the first couple of days here.
00:03:42.000And naturally, everyone who watched it came out with precisely the opinion they had before.0.52
00:03:48.000Candace's followers are saying that she demolished Wilson.
00:03:51.000And PBD's commenters pointed out how he really couldn't moderate because it was just a mess.
00:03:57.000And Andrew Wilson's fans are saying that he wrecked her.
00:04:00.000And both sides are now running clips claiming that their respective side won.
00:04:05.000And what's more, there's a moral problem here.
00:04:08.000When you debate for money over the matter of whether a person who clearly murdered somebody, murdered somebody, and whether the person who is claiming that the true murderer might in fact be his wife, Might in fact be his best friends, might in fact be people who surround him.
00:04:22.000What you are doing is granting the imprimatur of decency to a debate that is indecent at its heart.
00:04:28.000Because here is the thing in order for a proper debate to take place, two preconditions generally have to be met.0.96
00:04:32.000First, the proposition being debated cannot be inherently retarded.0.94
00:04:36.000Debating whether the moon is made of cheese is a waste of time.0.91
00:04:40.000Even if the person who's making the argument sounds very convincing, it's a waste of time because the moon is not made of cheese.0.98
00:04:45.000And if the person walks away with more people believing the moon is made of cheese, more people have been made retarded.0.97
00:04:49.000Debating who killed Charlie Kirk with a person who says, not that there's reasonable doubt, but that it was probably the French Foreign Legion in league with the Israelis, probably in league with Erica Kirk and TPUSA, maybe in league with me, maybe in league with Josh Hammer, maybe in league with Bill Ackman, who the hell knows?0.95
00:05:05.000Okay, that is inherently retarded because there is literally no evidence pointing to anyone except Tyler Robinson.0.89
00:05:12.000His own lawyers, whose job it is to keep him out of jail.
00:05:16.000And as we'll see in this debate, Candace had no evidence to provide for any contention that she made throughout the debate at all.
00:05:21.000Second, and far more importantly, when we're talking about preconditions to successful debate, participants in the debate must have some baseline respect for the truth and the fact.0.94
00:05:28.000You can't have a proper debate with somebody who doesn't give a crap about the fact.
00:05:31.000If you are debating, for example, welfare reform, and one of the participants says, welfare does not exist.0.95
00:05:41.000There is no possible way to debate the proposition with that person.
00:05:45.000If every time you cite a statistic, the person says numbers aren't real, there's no way to actually debate that.
00:05:51.000If you pretend the facts don't exist or that the facts don't matter or that you can just hand wave them away, there's no way to actually win that debate or even have a debate with that kind of person.0.99
00:06:00.000A person who refuses to even make clear his or her own positions, like runs away when asked about it and hides behind some sort of semantic game, that's not a debate, it's just stupidity.0.99
00:06:11.000And so we should make the point here that no one in America gives less of a crap about facts than Candace Owens.1.00
00:06:37.000At some point, your kids will become adults.
00:06:39.000And that raises the next important parenting question How long do you plan to keep paying for your kids?
00:06:43.000Phone back to school season might be the perfect time to finally kick the college kids off the family phone plan in the most loving way possible.
00:06:49.000Of course, introduce them to Pure Talk right now.
00:06:51.000You can switch to any Pure Talk plan, even unlimited, for just 15 bucks a month for your first three months.
00:06:55.000You're not sacrificing quality to save money.
00:06:57.000Pure Talk has earned strong marks from consumer reports with great ratings for value and customer satisfaction.
00:07:02.000They're also veteran led and committed to supporting America's military veterans.
00:07:05.000So, you're choosing a company whose values actually mean something.
00:07:08.000Your kids are going to learn independence eventually.
00:07:09.000You might as well start with that phone bill right now.
00:07:11.000You can switch to Pure Talk and get any plan, including unlimited.
00:07:14.000For just 15 bucks a month for your first three months.
00:07:23.000Here is a really, really, really incomplete list of the theories that Candace Owens has spouted without any facts to support them, as an account called AG Hamilton has pointed out on X. Here's a massively incomplete list.
00:10:30.000I mean, I can say right now, I think, With 100% certainty, I think with 100% certainty that Candace Owens is whoring herself on the side of the road.0.74
00:10:43.000Now, if somebody says to me, Do you have any evidence for that proposition?0.60
00:10:46.000And my response is, Well, I mean, I have lots of evidence that I think it.
00:10:50.000I have tons of evidence that I think it.
00:10:53.000She would properly sue me because, again, I have no evidence for that proposition that she is whoring herself on the side of the road.
00:10:59.000I assume, in fact, she is not whoring herself on the side of the road because there is no evidence.
00:11:03.000But this is like, that's an amazing statement.0.87
00:11:06.000So to get this straight, in a Mott and Bailey argument, that is where you make a bad argument and then you kind of hide back in a more secure argument.
00:11:14.000So her bad argument is that Israel and France are behind the Kirk assassination.
00:11:39.000This would not pass the smell test in like a high school debate class, a junior high debate class.0.99
00:11:44.000This would not pass the smell test in any debate in third grade.
00:11:49.000But again, Candace was asked about justifying her facts here.
00:11:54.000And here is the support that she has for her factual assertions.
00:12:01.000So I think what's happened is I've actually built up a rapport with my audience that it's not vibes and dreams.
00:12:06.000And that's why they keep watching my content because I. Like, for example, when I just the other day released the content of the shooter on the roof doing the lateral crawl, then they're going, I don't think these are just vibes.
00:12:18.000It seems like cannabis sources are legit.
00:12:21.000Yeah, I'm not sure that that would legitimize your sources as being legitimate when it comes to the idea that, oh, they all believe that there's a conspiracy going on, which is actually what your claim is now.
00:12:32.000Yeah, I mean, obviously, Andrew Wilson is correct about this.
00:12:34.000I love that her defense of her A factual claims is my audience vibes with me.
00:12:41.000Well, you know, there are lots of audience that vibe with leaders, it happens all the time.
00:12:45.000For example, cult leader Jim Jones, his audience was totally vibing with him.
00:12:56.000They vibed with him so strongly, they were willing to believe the idea that if they drank the Kool Aid, then they would bring about the eschaton.0.87
00:13:05.000And then they drank the Kool Aid and they all died because he had poisoned it.
00:13:08.000So I'm pretty sure that people believing you is not good evidence the thing you're saying is true.
00:13:14.000In fact, I'm pretty well assured that these two things are completely different propositions.
00:13:20.000People believe all sorts of people who lie to them, it happens all the time.
00:13:26.000You know, you walk down the supplement aisle at the grocery store, half the ingredient labels appear to have been written for someone with a PhD in chemistry.
00:13:38.000And this is one of the things I appreciate about Balance of Nature.
00:13:40.000Their whole health system is built around 47 ingredients of real whole fruits, veggies, spices, fibers.
00:13:45.000We're talking about recognizable ingredients like apple, broccoli, ginger, and turmeric.
00:13:49.000And Balance of Nature doesn't isolate or extract individual parts and attempt to recreate nature.
00:13:53.000They use a tailored vacuum cold process designed to help stabilize the naturally occurring phytonutrients in their real whole food ingredients.
00:14:27.000So here was Candace going off on Erica Kirk.0.99
00:14:29.000This is again, this is why this debate is not just stupid, it's immoral because granting credibility to Candace Owens to spew this kind of crap about Erica Kirk is just it's disgusting.1.00
00:14:37.000I'm sorry, it is clowns can be clowns, that's their prerogative, but but granting moral credibility to this sort of trash is really disgusting.0.99
00:14:47.000And so, I asked her directly, her lawyer directly, the phone's in between us.0.98
00:14:51.000I'm like, wait, so just so I'm clear, you haven't seen anything that the public hasn't seen, and he says no.
00:14:59.000So, I'm going back in my head and I'm going, okay, so why is Erica saying that?
00:15:03.000With such a degree of certainty, like she was sent out to convince the public, and people bit, by the way.
00:15:07.000I remember even Megyn Kelly was like, you know, let's wait.0.83
00:15:11.000She's going to have access to things.0.97
00:15:13.000I did think she had access to things that we didn't have.
00:15:15.000Why express that confidence to the public as opposed to just being like, we don't know yet?
00:15:50.000So she's claiming, again, Candace demands that everybody give her the benefit of the doubt that she believes what she believes.
00:15:56.000But she's claiming that Erica Kirk overtly lies, that Erica has serious doubts as to whether Tyler Robinson killed Charlie, and she's just doing this, what, for the shits and giggles of it?0.98
00:16:09.000Okay, well, the thing about Andrew Wilson that's kind of funny is that Andrew Wilson, of course, is not politically like minded with me in a wide variety of ways, for example.1.00
00:16:16.000But at least he has the brains to understand what Candace is doing is wrong and stupid.0.99
00:18:27.000Okay, and then she proceeds to name all seven.
00:18:29.000I can say first rule of the debate, by the way, don't ask questions you don't know the answers to.
00:18:32.000But again, the fact that she has memorized the charges doesn't demonstrate that anything she says about the charges is true, obviously.0.99
00:18:49.000People who agree with Andrew Wilson agreed with him before.
00:18:51.000People who disagree with Andrew Wilson disagree with him after.
00:18:53.000People who love Candace will agree with anything she says.
00:18:56.000The reason this is important is, again, Because there is this thing that has gone around in sort of debate me culture online, which is when you get two people in a room, the conversation is always useful.
00:19:07.000My proposition is very often the answer is nope.
00:19:10.000And you probably wasted three plus hours watching that thing if you feel that you came way better informed in any way, shape, or form.
00:19:17.000By the way, if you are curious about the calcium markets on various arrest chances, apparently 8.5% of people think that Candace Owens is going to be arrested this year.
