Tucker Carlson apologizes for his Nuzzlegate treatment of Biden Biden’s apology video, his behavior used to be okay? Climate change funny coincidences Objective test to determine if climate change is real Regardless of topic, GOP and DEMS will disagree Secure anonymous scientist poll, would it still be 97% agree? Climate change is no longer a science question It’s now a persuasion challenge, one direction or the other Gen IV’s potential persuasion notes… Gen IV nuclear power systems, NO meltdown risk Eats nuclear waste for fuel Bill Gates says Gen IV is ONLY solution IF President Trump says “Gen IV nuclear power” he’ll win election Articles labeled “far left” or “far right” on AllSides.com Why would I read anything labeled as propaganda? People belief they aren’t fooled by fake news, but others are CNN reports Trump said father born in Germany Simple explanation…he meant his Grandfather How is this a national news story on CNN?

hey everybody come on in I'm a little bit
bit late woke up to a little bit of a house emergency this morning it wasn't fun at all but it's all taken care of um I know why you're here gather around grab a seat any seat there are no no assigned seats take a seat uh ideal a seat in your own house or possibly your car and let us begin with something I call the simultaneous sip it begins when you put a liquid your favorite liquid in a glass of mug a cup a Stein a chalice possibly a thermos a tanker and then you raise it to your mouth with me and you enjoy the simultaneous
sip Ah that's one of the best ones of the week so as I said I got a late start this morning so I'm a little bit unorganized so I don't know how this is going to go we'll see here are the following

[1:11]

we'll see here are the following interesting stories happening I noted uh Tucker Carlson issued an apology an apology nobody asked him to but he he apologized for he is essentially for his treatment of Joe Biden over the nuzzle gate stuff and I want to say a few things about that number one in a weird way uh Joe Biden has been cleared or let's say vetted of one of the PO the worst possible things that could happen because with all these women talking about these nonsexual things you know an eskimo kiss and sniffing somebody's hair or
or whatever nobody came forward and said anything sexual happened nobody you would think with all that publicity there would be at least one nut who would come forward and say oh he also touched me in the wrong place so in a

[2:14]

touched me in the wrong place so in a weird way it's sort of the dog that didn't bark with all this attention on this guy of a certain age who's been in Washington and around forever there's nobody who has a worse complaint than he hugged too much if you think about it it's kind of not so bad I don't know how many 76 year- old powerful Washington men could have that much attention and nobody would come out of a closet and say yeah you know something something worse than that happen to nobody it's pretty good I mean we're obviously we're grading on a curve because we should assume that nobody is doing that sort of thing but the reality is people are and at least he is a so let's give him that now he issued his uh his apology and uh and it was I don't know it was adorable and wrong at the same time I'm

[3:15]

adorable and wrong at the same time I'm not sure it was an apology it was more of a clarification I guess it was sort of an apology we're talking about Biden himself in his little video and what he said was that he's he's now understanding that times have changed and the the filter at which we look at this physical behavior is different in 2019 and now he's understanding that and he will modify his behavior to which I say when was it okay to do awkward things to people and violate their personal space somehow the entire media gave him a pass on the most ridiculous assumption the most ridiculous assumption is that it used to be okay [Laughter] I'm pretty old I've been around I don't remember any time it was okay to violate somebody's personal space and touch them in ways that made them uncomfortable now what's different is

[4:15]

uncomfortable now what's different is that people are going to go public about it what's different is it becomes a headline what's different is what people say about it so that's all different but there was never a time in the 70s when when Joe Biden could could go up to you grab you from behind sniff your hair and unless you knew him really well you'd feel totally okay with that all right so somehow I haven't heard one person say Joe are you saying this used to be okay because I don't remember that I don't remember the time when everybody was okay with any kind of nonsexual physical contact but anyway I will add my voice to uckers which is um interestingly it it's almost as if the right has given Biden more of a pass on this than the left you know the right had their memes and we had our fun and it was definitely entertaining but in the

[5:17]

entertaining but in the end it's probably not disqualifying it might it might have a big impact on the vote so in a sense he might not be the strongest candidate because of this but I'd have to agree it's not disqualifying and um probably is a little ridiculous and so it's hard to keep it in perspective but I guess I would I would say that I never felt comfortable uh forwarding the memes but I think I did forward them because they were just too funny it's not my fault it's not my fault it's funny all right enough about that um so the president tweeted this morning I think think that the Republican party is the party of the American dream it sounds like he's testing out a new penguin and the dingleberries that's that made me laugh I'm looking at a comment I know who you're talking about you're talking about Nadler somebody

[6:17]

you're talking about Nadler somebody called Nadler uh the penguin penguin and the
the dingleberries that's pretty funny um anyway the president's testing out this phrase it sounds like the Republic party is the party of the American dream and I thought to myself not bad it's not bad I don't know if it's it's a campaign slogan quality but it does it does bring back you know it evokes sort of the make America great again thing I can see why has appeal I I have a tpid approval of it it's not it's not a barn burner but it's pretty solid all right
um there you know I always love to talk about the the dog that didn't bark uh here's another one so this was suggested I just saw this on Twitter by Twitter user um John Clarkson so John if you're watching this you made me laugh this

[7:18]

watching this you made me laugh this morning so the climate change argument uh often focuses on glaciers and the Antarctic and the argument is that we're seeing the changes in the glaciers and the Antarctic more pronounced than we would see anywhere else that's sort of the first place and John says and you're you're going to laugh you're going to laugh when you hear this because you didn't already think of it so yeah John Clarkson so John says uh why is why why is it that that the uh climate change risk just happens to be in the hardest place for we citizens to go look at it
like I mean think about it what are the odds that the the place on Earth that we're having most of the alleged climate change climate change effects just just happens to be the place we can't go

[8:22]

look now I'm not claiming that therefore climate change is a fraud all right it's probably a perfectly you know rational Co incidence that it just happens to be the place that makes the big change is a place that's an extreme part of the globe and it's hard to get to so there's probably nothing you know I'm not I'm not assuming that there's any connective tissue but when the first time I heard the question it's like huh after 40 Years of failed climate change predictions and I think everybody would agree that in the past you know decades past the predictions have been inaccurate it's like they finally found a way that we can't go check we can't go look uh again that's not predictive of anything it's just a funny coincidence but here's another one so I'm going to add my own uh dog that didn't bark so here's a way I I'm going to propose to you a way to know that climate change is

[9:22]

climate change is fake now it's a testable hypothesis so I'm going to give you something that could be um objectively measured it wouldn't be easy but I think you could do it and if you meas measured it I think you would find that my following statement is actually more insightful than maybe your first first reaction to it here it is true or false Republicans and Democrats always disagree no matter the facts or the argument so so I first have to get you to agree to that statement is it true that no matter the topic Republicans and Democrats are going to disagree and it wouldn't matter if you were looking at the same fact you know if if if an alien came to Earth and stood in front of you if the first person who got to the alien was a republican the Democrats would say

[10:23]

was a republican the Democrats would say he doesn't exist if the first person who got to the alien was a Democrat all Republicans would say doesn't exist even if they stood there and looked at him because they can't agree right so so start with that assumption that in general of course there are individuals individuals can go back and forth but as a group the Republicans are going to be on one side Democrats are going to be on another except for climate change apparently climate change is the one situation where all the Republican scientists or according to the 97% of scientists rule that the vast majority of Republican scientists agree with a vast majority of democrat um Democrat scientists do you believe that if you actually sorted the scientists by Republican and Democrats that you would find that both sides are

[11:26]

that you would find that both sides are close to that you know High 90s agreement about climate science if that's true and this is the thing I'm saying could be checked you could do you could do a survey where you could identify all the climate scientists sort them by Democrats and Republicans somehow get them this is the hard part getting an honest answer because they would have to know the scientists would have to be be confident that nobody could ever track it back to them they would have to know that the poll is super Anonymous somehow I don't know if you could accomplish that because they'd have to feel it's Anonymous not just be anonymous but if you could do that do you think that the Republican scientists would have the same opinion if that's true and they do you better be really worried about climate science you better be super worried if it's true that the Republican scientists agree with the Democrats that it's a dire problem you better be pretty

[12:29]

it's a dire problem you better be pretty F freaking scared all right seriously no joke if the Republican scientists have the same ratio of belief that the world is coming to an end that means that even politics isn't a strong enough Force for them to not see the obvious in front of them now there are certain situations that are rare where Republicans and Democrats do agree so for example if there's a terror attack on the country Republicans Democrats same opinion right it's attack on the country we all come together but that's the rare situation in a situation where there's no immediate you know danger of something exploding today we're almost always on different sides so here's my next point this dovetails into Point number two climate science is no longer a science question climate science is no longer a science

[13:30]

science question it is trans it is uh evolved into a persuasion question and you could and that's true in two completely different ways one way is if it's true that climate science is exactly the risk that the ex that the majority of experts are saying if that's true and they can't convince half of the country that it's true it's a it's a catastrophic problem so if it's true and they can't convince the country that's one situation catastrophic problem if it's true and we can't convince the country to use uh Generation 4 safe nuclear technology which is has been brought to the point where just we need some more engineering and iteration but we know it'll work and we know it will be safe from meltdowns and we know it actually eats no n it eats nuclear waste from older plants so it's like good in every possible way and we mostly know how to do

[14:33]

we mostly know how to do it the only way to save the world according to Bill Gates who's looked into it and lots of other smart people is to convince the half of the country that believes in climate science that the only way to address it is with the safe new technology for nuclear but they cannot be convinced so there are two completely different persuasion um monstrous persuasion challenges if it's true you want to convince the people who don't think it is true and if it's true you've got to convince the people who do think it's true that there's one solution and it's nuclear and it's not Grandma's nuclear that was unsafe it's the it's the modern stuff it's a let's call it uh Millennium nuclear I don't know trying to come up with a new name that makes it sound friendlier and so uh I have I think I told you this before that I have

[15:34]

that I have personally um through personal conversation I have concluded that people on the left the prominent pundits the people who shape opinion on the left are literally unaware that Generation 4 nuclear technology is the solution to all of their problems they actually have never even heard it it's like words that have never come into their ears now who's whose fault is that well it's obviously the uh the silos of the news you only see your news people on the right generally know this they may not know as much about Generation 4 but they do think nuclear is a good idea even if they're not up toate people on the left have never even heard of this generation 4 stuff doesn't exist so I believe that persuasion is the solution and that um whether or not climate change is the catastrophic risk that

[16:36]

change is the catastrophic risk that some actually many say uh the safe nuclear technology is still the answer so it's the answer whether it's bad it's the answer even if it's not bad because you still need lots of power it's simply the best way to get there it's the best thing for the economy best thing for poor people best thing for technology best thing for the economy best thing in every possible way so um people like me who are trained to persuade suddenly have a responsibility that we didn't ask for and you you see this right if there are only certain people who can be persuasive in other words they know how to do it and the fate of the planet depends on those few people who know how to persuade to actually do it I feel this um I was feeling this yesterday I was feeling this enormous I'm not going to call it a

[17:38]

enormous I'm not going to call it a weight because it didn't feel that way enormous social responsibility and you you see that Mark Schneider in particular he's he's my Nuclear expert works in the industry he's mostly informed me so I have enough information now that I can start persuading other people um I've been making lots of noise about it Mark's been making lots of noise about it Bill Gates has been making lots of noise about it um and I'm trying to think who else but uh if you watched the five yesterday you saw Greg geld mention uh nuclear I wish he had used Generation 4 the buzzword to uh alert people that the new technology is not the same as the old technology um we saw that uh representative uh Matt Gates just had an announcement he's he's calling his uh proposals the green real deal and he

[18:39]

proposals the green real deal and he includes a uh I won't say a focus necessarily but um he calls out nuclear as part of the solution now I think Matt needs to get to the next level of of calling a generation 4 and making sure that the first time you say it you say the good stuff so here's my here's my first uh let's say uh I don't want to call it a gift but I don't know another word I'm going to give you a persuasion technique that I'd like you to take with you so I'm going to train you all everybody who's watching this and I'm going to weaponize you so you've probably had the you I'm sure you've had the experience of getting into a conversation with with a friend or whatever and you bring up nuclear and immediately they have problems with it and you know maybe maybe they're just not convinced so I'm going to tell you how to persuade for the cleaner newer safer

[19:42]

persuade for the cleaner newer safer nuclear and here's the trick the first sentence needs to include the safety element and the fact that it eats the waste from the old machines because the two things that people worry about are is it going to have a meltdown and the answer is no the new technology doesn't and uh what about the nuclear waste it creates and it turns out it eats nuclear waste so the way I do it is I whenever I introduce it in a tweet or a sentence I say we should be looking at the new generation 4 nuclear that is safe from meltdown and eats nuclear waste for its own fuel so do you see that that's just one sentence what you don't want to do to say hey why aren't we doing nuclear because as soon as you say nuclear somebody who's anti-nuclear or only knows about the old less safe technology goes R and the walls go up you want to get the you want to get

[20:43]

up you want to get the you want to get the message in with a full safe and eats and eats the waste message so you want that's that should be your first uh introduction to Generation 4 You should also call call it Generation 4 do not say hey there there is new nuclear technology because people are very um influenced by words if you say hey I've got a new nuclear solution people hear nuclear and they go um no I've I've got 40 Years of feeling bad about nuclear no so don't use nuclear as your first word I say generation 4 first so I don't say nuclear technology of the generation 4 type you start with Generation 4 because you want that to be the brand all right remember the brand is not nuclear the brand is Generation

[21:44]

is not nuclear the brand is Generation 4
4 nuclear uh because then people say oh that's not nuclear that's that's generation for nuclear um somebody said Bill Gates first so it is also very good persuasion to say it's the thing that Bill Gates uh says is literally the only economical practical fast enough way to even have a chance even a chance of addressing climate risk assuming climate risk is what people say so there is my persuasion I'm going to weaponize all of you and I know members of the media and um a lot of politicians watch this and a lot of their staff so the way to talk about it is first sentence generation for nuclear not just nuclear Generation 4 nuclear and and without any punctuation say safe from meltdown and eats nuclear waste for

[22:48]

meltdown and eats nuclear waste for fuel that sentence in that structure is way more persuasive than any other approach um then people are going say yes but it's too expensive and they um their regulations and rules and stuff like that the way to address that is to say we're in the age of trump and getting rid of regulations is what he's good at secondly some of these sites could be collocated with other sites so you already have a site that's sort of a nuclear site so that could work but um they also because they don't have the Meltdown risk you can locate them in a lot more places than you could locate the ones that do have a meltdown risk because any any kind of a you know even if it got hit with a bomb it would be contained in sort of a few miles and that would be it
it um somebody says I used to say molten

[23:48]

um somebody says I used to say molten salt yeah I think it's a mistake to say thorium or molten salt or uh what is it uh uh some kind of lead Pebbles or whatever it is there are a whole bunch of technologies that are within Generation 4 but I think Generation 4 is a stronger brand not only because it encapsulates you know the the several Technologies oh lead is it uh Molen lead yeah um but Generation 4 also sounds newer and it Generation 4 speaks of progress right as soon as you hear Generation 4 you know that then somebody says the ones we have now are generation one or two I forget but as soon as you say that then people understand it from software it's like oh okay this is not like this is not Windows version one this is something else okay so I have now we weaponized all of you and when you talk about it watch how that phrasing changes how

[24:50]

watch how that phrasing changes how people respond to it I I I challenge you to find anybody who says this is a bad idea the generation 4 new once you've explained it well I haven't met one it it can you you just try to process that try to process that I've never met
met anybody I don't think online or offline who once you describe it and once once you can tell they understand what you said that they have a problem with it I mean they might have some vague you know questions and stuff but I've never heard anybody push back it's it's the damst thing so we must push back and we must find a way to break the new Silo on the left because it wouldn't matter how persuasive people are on the right they were already leaning toward nuclear anyway you need to persuade the other side and
and uh yeah if if somebody if somebody on

[25:53]

uh yeah if if somebody if somebody on the Democrat side who's let's say in the top four says let's go so crazy with Generation 4 nuclear you don't want to be the Republican who didn't say it first let me let me let me put this in political terms so I can weaponize it further all right wait for this so you know that there are um most of the people watching this are probably Trump leaning people but they're you know they're probably a solid 20% who are not um
I I'm going to make a claim that I think is true I think this is true but you know you'd have to test it and here's the claim whichever candidate when we get down to the final two Trump versus whoever is whoever is the Democrat whichever of those two says the words generation for

[26:54]

generation for nuclear first will be the president will win if Trump lets the Democratic Challenger say it first he's not going to want to say it second and then he's going to lose the election if he says it first he takes climate change off the table their strongest play that all they have is healthc care and climate change right it comes down to that climate change and Healthcare are the two things that are going to activate Dem rats I don't think that the Republicans are going to do anything but fail on Healthcare all all history evidence and current activities suggest that the Republicans will have absolutely nothing on
on Healthcare um so they they're just going to be weak there and they're going to have to deal with that but on climate change if Trump says Generation 4 nuclear before his opponents do so he

[27:56]

nuclear before his opponents do so he can own it impossible for him to lose the election unless some new thing happened between now and then so I think it's that strong I think it's that big a deal if you if if Trump brought Bill Gates into the White House and they had a a photo op and then Trump and gates to a a press conference and he's and Trump says I'm no expert in nuclear but listen to Bill Gates and then Bill Gates does his thing and says you know I think nuclear is the way to go I'm I'm not doing this for political purposes I appreciate that the president gives me you know this platform um and this is something that you should not be a Republican or a Democrat about it's the fate of the planet and even if you don't believe climate change is a risk it's still the right thing to do it's still the economical thing to do it's still the smart thing to do if Trump did that and

[28:56]

smart thing to do if Trump did that and by the way I always think it's obnoxious when people who are not in his job you know give EV give him uh suggestions about what to say or you know how he should give a speech or you know who who he should talk to I always find it obnoxious and the reason I do that is because you you and I are not president you know he he became president not because he has bad instincts right so his instincts you're going to have to just say anybody who becomes president whether it's Trump for anybody else they're smart right about this stuff so it's always um it's almost embarrassing as a citizen to imagine that you can give them advice on on the details of how to do their job because they just know more than you do about what they're doing they have good instincts uh so um but I'm just saying so I'll make this a prediction not a advice because I just

[29:58]

prediction not a advice because I just don't I don't feel like advice is it just doesn't feel right to me to give advice to someone who's so much more successful than you are right how's that make sense um so I'll just say it's a prediction if Trump says Generation 4 nuclear he can't win he can't lose the election unless there's some new news that we don't know about all right all right so uh I there's a new site that someone alerted me to called alls side all allsides all onew word.com and it's interesting because it it seems to consolidate uh links to articles and it does it and it labels them how far right Republican and how far left you know Democrat the articles are and so it's a p you go to their homepage and you see all the Articles and then you see they're labeled are these from the left to the right and and I thought to myself uh yeah it's only new to me that's right I'm not saying

[30:59]

new to me that's right I'm not saying it's a new site I just happened to notice it and I thought my God this could be good and I had the I had this interesting uh reaction to it which was I look at an article and I read the you know what the title of the article is and I'd say hey that could be interesting and then I'd see how they labeled it and it would be labeled either far right or far left and I immediately said oh I don't have to read that so it's actually a new site that labels all of its own content as unnecessary to read now they don't do that intentionally but as soon as I see an article is labeled far right or far left I say there's no point in reading it because it's just propaganda now if I go to CNN or or Fox News since it's not labeled like other than being in their Universe I'm still tempted to read it I'll read any article on CNN I'll read any article on Fox but as soon as they put that label on it on the allsides.com

[32:01]

put that label on it on the allsides.com where they tell me this one's far right or this one's far left I looked at them and I go I don't need to click that they already told me I don't need to read it they they have done the work for me there's nothing in here except misleading information why would I read that article so I love the idea of it but I was suggest that people are really addicted to reading the news sources that feel good that people consume news as
as entertainment so what has changed is that news used to be information and it's definitely not information anymore news is pure entertainment that's why we're talking about Joe Biden's nuzzle gate and not nuclear uh nuclear power in the news right let me you look at the news look at what could be they could be talking about and there's just no correlation between useful information and what's what's in the news it's just entertainment at this point people are

[33:02]

entertainment at this point people are not going to give up their entertainment because some other site has useful news just humans don't do that all right uh just looking at my notes here oh there was a study I don't know how reliable it is all studies are unreliable it seems but uh I like to talk about the studies that agree with something I already thought so maybe they didn't even need to do a study on this but it was a study that said that uh people think that other people are fooled by bad media didn't you already know that so the study said that people think that they personally are not Bamboozled by the media that they consume but they're pretty sure those other people are a lot of other people were getting Bamboozled so uh and I thought they could have just asked me they didn't really they didn't really need to do that survey did they everybody thinks that's other people who are being fooled by the

[34:04]

other people who are being fooled by the news um and then the weirdest and most fun thing in the news is that uh Trump keeps saying that his father was born in
Germany right and I haven't seen it reported but wasn't his grandfather born over the and say Trump grandfather grandfather Germany or was it Austria uh Trump's grandfather was kicked out of Germany according to
CNN uh so he came to the United States at the age of 16 so that was Frederick Trump so um in all the reporting you've seen where Trump keeps saying uh that his father was born in in
in Germany uh and then they report that it's fake news and what's wrong with him is he insane is he crazy is he lying

[35:06]

is he insane is he crazy is he lying then nobody says the obvious explanation isn't the obvious explanation that he meant his grandfather like what the hell else would be the
explanation um well I'm right right did he say that did he say grandfather and did he it yeah to me the most obvious explanation yeah so people went to the pathological liar explanation and they went to you know uh 25th amendment like he must be insane because he doesn't know his own fathers a citizen of the United States or was it citizen so everybody went to the worst possible explanation when there was the easiest possible explanation which is oh he meant his grandfather I mean I don't think there's much chance that if you were to talk to the president in person and say oh you know you said your father you meant your grandfather that Trump would have said do you think Trump would

[36:07]

would have said do you think Trump would have said no no I meant my father my father was born in Germany do you think privately he would say that no I mean I'm not a mind reader and I haven't asked him but I think that's a very small chance I think more likely he'd say I said father oh I meant grandfather no wonder they're confused the most ordinary explanation is that he meant his grandfather I mean it felt obvious to me at the time and yet it was this big National story and I kept looking at the story saying and now you're going to say he probably meant his grandfather and then the story would end and I'd say what the hell you don't even mention that it was obviously his grandfather he meant and that he just misspoke uh now we can't read his mind but that's the obvious explanation um is there anything else going
on yes I will tell you that the uh the when token the crypto uh token that

[37:07]

when token the crypto uh token that comes with my inter interface by whenhub app my startups app called interface by one Hub it has associated with it you can use regular cash and credit cards of course but you can also pay with these tokens that are created for the app you can buy them in exchanges such as hotbit hotbit and La token um and we're adding some more exchanges the stock symbol is Wen
Wen when and the value has I think tripled tripled in value in the last week now I want to be very careful uh these crypto tokens are never Investments so whatever they're worth and however much they go up in one day they could be zero tomorrow so it's not it's not I'm not giving you any Financial adice PR I'm telling you that if you wanted to own these they have gone up from 1 Penny to 3 cents in a week and there's a lot of we're getting activity from

[38:08]

activity from Asia and we're getting um more signups all the time and if the underlying if the underlying product does well that almost guarantees that the tokens will have value because you can use the tokens for the product so uh assume that this is not investment quality idea but those people who own tokens would those tokens could go up in value either for because other people buy them and the demand goes up or because the product that they're associated with uh does well and that creates a demand for them two ways so I just put that out there you could go to uh when hub.com to buy them from us or you could get them even cheaper from an exch exchange but if you buy them from an exchange you're going to have to know how to use wallets you're going to have to know how to get ether because you can only buy them with ether at the moment um as soon as we get

[39:08]

ether at the moment um as soon as we get on a an exchange that handles US dollars as well they'll be completely liquid all right um somebody says why should I buy it you should if you ask the question why should I buy the when tokens you should not buy it all right if if there's even a little doubt or you don't quite understand that field then that's not for you so I can say that with complete confidence but if you're in the crypto field or you wanted to tipto in and you didn't want to put a lot of money in it but you just wanted to you know take a flyer on it um you'd have that option so you could just buy it at wi hub.com and see what happens all right what is the maximum number of tokens um we just did a burn um and so I don't have the new number but the the essence of your question is you're trying to figure out what's the universe of tokens it's a set number and we just
