ba-bum ba-bum ba-bum ba-bum hey everybody come on in here it's time for coffee with Scott Adams as luck would have it guess who I am that's right well you already know who you are so by process of elimination that makes me Scott Adams glad to see you come on in grab a seat we have plenty of places to sit and if you're ready if you are prepared if you know what's coming you probably are ready for the simultaneous if it doesn't take much it really doesn't hey Lyle hey Dan all you need to participate in the simultaneous is busy copper Margaret glass this tiny chalice detector to thermos Alaska canteen a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee join me now for the unparalleled pleasure the dopamine hit that gets your day going and makes everything better I call it the simultaneous end go good

[1:12]

I call it the simultaneous end go good stuff well apparently I think today is when there's going to be some event in Portland a large sporting event between the proud boys and auntie foul I don't know what they're billing it as if I were the promoters I would have called it the punch up in Portland do you like that the punch up in Portland the pugilism in Portland the popping off in Portland I don't know it's hard to come up with a name for these things but apparently there's some thought that maybe the far right types that were going to join in addition to the proud voice some of them may be not coming some of them trying to tone down the rhetoric some of them I don't know there's a little uncertainty about what's going to happen but the funny part about it and it's funny until there's violence but for now it's funny that the point of the of the protest is to protest against

[2:15]

of the protest is to protest against anti far as being a domestic terror organization so they're not so so what's funny is they're not protesting I don't know and the any racial groups they're not protesting any ethnicity they're not protesting you're sort of normal thing you might imagine from some kind of a whatever you imagine is the worst case scenario for a far-right event instead the point of it is to protest anti file for being violent now here's what's funny about this of course it'll be you know distorted by the press the press will put a spin on that they want but if the point is to point out that an tyfa is a violent domestic terrorism group which is the stated point who knows what yeah they're really thinking internally but the stated point is to highlight the anti-shah is a violent domestic terror group now what's the Anti Fog going to

[3:16]

group now what's the Anti Fog going to do in response to being accused of being a domestic terrorist group well it looks like they're gonna put on masks and show up and beat up people now if that's not entertaining you're dead inside if you can't enjoy that show I don't know now normally I would say I'm opposed for example I'm opposed to boxing I don't think boxing should be illegal because it really is just giving each other brain damage I don't think the cage fighting MMA should be legal same reason it's just a terrible thing for society now it's a free world and I'm not out protesting against those things because in a free world people will do the things that they want to do and some of them are dangerous and you know where do you draw the line I'm just not personally in favor of it however in this one case where there's some bad customers who want violence and

[4:20]

some bad customers who want violence and want to go to the same place and enjoy it for political reasons
I don't know I have trouble feeling sorry for any of them somebody's gonna get hurt and I just have trouble feeling sorry for him the people who don't want her to get hurt probably shouldn't go so let's talk about some other things let us compare our filters you recall that when the Epstein thing first went down and I said and he died and there was there were many questions surrounding his death was he murdered did he commit suicide and what was what what did I say really before anybody sent it what did I say about what you were going to find out about Epstein then what was the most accurate thing that anybody said about the whole incident and I said it before we knew anything I said it incompetence

[5:22]

we knew anything I said it incompetence has always got to be your top hypothesis now did we see incompetence Wow now some of that incompetence might have been in the form of assisting you know assisting in by looking the other direction but it's still incompetence and it would still be suicide so the interesting thing is that I'm watching the news coverage and I know a lot of you still believe in the conspiracy theory but here's what my filter predicted and compare it to your own my filter on this said that the cause of death would not be ambiguous in other words that the coroner would not say well it could go either way so my filter was it was clearly suicide and it would be ruled that way and that we would know it for sure that seems to be the case it seems to be the case that the coroner is not saying there's still some question about it the coroner is

[6:24]

some question about it the coroner is saying it's a done deal it was suicide now we don't know what the what the coroner no isn't maybe if we knew what everything the coroner knows it would it would give us some more context but now the people who still cling to the idea that somebody snuck in there in some super competent way you're not really living in the same world I am people are not that competent in the world I live in and the big problem the big question was there was a broken bone and Epstein's neck and people say you don't get that broken bone if you're just hanging from a bug bed you got to be hanging from something pretty serious and have a pretty long drop before you can get that broken bone even if you're older because you know your bones break easily more easily when you're older to which I say do you remember what I said I said we're talking about a guy Epstein whose entire story everything you know

[7:25]

whose entire story everything you know about him his stuff that didn't happen to other people stuff that other people could not have accomplished everything about Epstein was stuff that you look at and say well that doesn't even look possible how could it be possible that he got away with this so long how could he be possible that he talked dozens and dozens and dozens of of underage people into the things that he did how can it be possible that he made you know half a billion dollars in crime and never got charged with a crime for that remember there are no charges for the half a billion dollars he stole apparently stole and then he then he gets caught and he gets like a day jail or night jail where he only has to go to jail at night so guess that everything about Epstein was the the unusual case so if this person who think you know how to do all these other things that even criminals couldn't figure out had to do

[8:25]

criminals couldn't figure out had to do he was like the best of the best criminal you know you have to give him that he was a smart guy so you put that guy who just consistently does things that other people can't figure out how to do even criminals you put him in this situation one of the odds that he can figure out how to do something that the other criminals couldn't figure out was Sowell really high really high the odds that he could figure out how to hang himself effect they break a bone in the process probably pretty good alright so if your filter said that they were going to find out it was a suspicious death even if they didn't figure out who killed them you have to admit that if your filter was suspicious death you now have to imagine that everybody's in on it including the coroner's in on it and all the people the guards so if your theory is that all these different people are in on it you should maybe question your

[9:29]

in on it you should maybe question your own hypothesis that would take a lot of people to be in on it and but compare that to my hypothesis yes security guards always fall asleep how do I know that I was a security guard how often did I fall asleep every night for a little while bosavi the most simple explanation in the world is that people are incompetent all right I would argue that one of the reasons I had some extra vision on this epstein thing and and many of you did as well is that anybody who had experience in a big organization would not be surprised at the level of incompetence in fact if you said to me well let's take you know IBM or AT&T or any big company compare how efficient and competent they are to how much you wish they could be competent and you'd say to yourself oh my god oh my god you know these big companies

[10:29]

oh my god you know these big companies are so inefficient amazingly so without getting into details I've been doing some work with a bank now what mentioned the bank but I haven't worked with a bank and he kind of a deal in a long time I'm not in trouble by the way the case you're wondering there's there's nothing to worry about but the amount of paperwork and trouble and the number of things that the bank asked me for that they didn't really need was just mind blowing it was just shocking how incompetent the process was and this was a fortune 500 probably best best-in-class major corporation best-in-class one of the ones that you said let me rank all the all the banks you probably would put this one or two at one of the best banks of the world and it was thoroughly incompetent all the way the whole process was stuff that you say as a customer you say is that really

[11:31]

a customer you say is that really necessary then I go to CVS and they give me a six-foot-long receipt on paper with like coupons throughout it and they say to myself did a competent person come up with this process no these are major corporations CVS is one of the biggest corporations in the country and they're completely incompetent in the most basic customer transaction they give you a six foot long piece of paper I'm not even making that up at six feet long actually six feet long like actually Yoli here and it goes to the floor these are completely incompetent corporations now let me ask you this how do you think a major corporation that makes lots of money you tracks the best talent how do you think they compare to in jail a prison who do you think is attracting the cream of the crop employees training the best making sure that systems are working corporations so my experience was with big corporations and I've seen how how

[12:35]

big corporations and I've seen how how incompetent they can be in just normal stuff and then I say well how bad would a prison be there's no way a prison is being run more efficiently than CVS no there's no way it's more efficient than a major bank in this country there's no way so I said however bad it is for those big corporations probably worse than prisons and sure enough that was the answer now the reason I gave you that long explanation is because my book loser think as that as a major theme which is that you can have blind spots if you don't have experience in certain areas and I would argue that all of the people on here on this periscope every one of you who had major experience with a large organization was far more likely to accept incompetence as an explanation for Epstein situation all right we'll block you you didn't seem happy I'll make you happy by blocking you alright

[13:35]

make you happy by blocking you alright let's talk about something else did you see this story this this is really mind-blowing and it's gonna tell you everything you need to know about the world about the New York Times guess one of the bosses there held a meeting and a recording got out and then the meeting and I'm gonna frame it the way Breitbart and folks on on the right have framed it it looks that way to me but you have to be careful because the first whoever is the first entity to frame a story you can get biased toward that framing so I'm biased toward this framing but it also looks accurate and the framing is this that the New York Times held a meeting and the boss said to the assembled staff we had built our business in our newsroom we had structured it around this Russia collusion thing and that didn't work out surprise and so we now have to restructure it around the story of racism in this country let me ask you

[14:37]

racism in this country let me ask you this is there a lot of racism in this country some would say yes but does that look like to you the major story for 2019 and 2020 does it seem to you as you look around as you experience life there one of your top 20 problems is racism in this country there is never been less racism in the country in this country well maybe there's never been less racism in any country have you ever been to New York City you really have to visit New York City once you have to walk down the street in Manhattan and see the legacy of the I was just reading about this the the Dutch settlement that became New York what characterized the Dutch settlement that eventually grew into New York is that they were open to everybody you could be a slate the freed slave you could be anything any religion and as

[15:39]

could be anything any religion and as long as you had money and you're gonna trade you're good so New York was built on a tradition of major diversity if you've got money you're good that's the end of the story and New York is still like that amazingly it's the most inspirational place you'll ever be just walk down the street in Manhattan just walk down the street it's the most inspirational thing you'll say and just look around you'll see people walking in groups you know going to lunch together work groups is as diverse as you can imagine and everybody seems to be get long just fine we probably have the least racist country we've ever had and boy were we racist yeah the United States and you know in the early days of the United States and the sixties seventies eighties pretty racist place but we've done an amazing job amazingly successful on you know routing out racism do you want to know how how good

[16:40]

racism do you want to know how how good it is let me tell you this is a this is a quote from AOC a recent one in which she's talking about racism to some crowd and hear the words she uses now before I read you a OCS description of the racism in the United States let me tell you what a real problem sounds like when somebody's describing it here's what a real problem sounds like there's a major fire burning down houses that would be that's what a problem sounds like bob was murdered that's a problem there's a recession that's a problem there's an earthquake that's the problem there's a war that's a problem those are problems do you know what's it do you know whether all of these things have in common that are problems how easy they were to describe right I could describe that real easily there's a war somebody got killed there's recession now here's a or C

[17:40]

there's recession now here's a or C trying to describe the problem of racism in the United States and 2019 quote we need to talk racism is contours is history's where it manifests how it's used because like all winning political phenomena whether good or bad in your opinion they rely on coalition building so Trump relied on the coalition and a core part of that coalition were racists building a coalition with all sorts of other people that could be susceptible to racist views and there were blankets and layered and made people feel good about it not being a racist thing I'm gonna read that again remember here's what real problems sound like Bob was murdered there's a fire there's a hurricane there's a recession there's a war something blew up those are what problems sound like this is what no problem whatsoever sounds like if you

[18:42]

problem whatsoever sounds like if you ever want to have a really bad problem you want it to be like this you want a problem that doesn't exist until you use clever words to suss it out I'm not saying the racism doesn't exist I'm saying that if you have to try this hard to make your case that's not your top 10 problems folks it's really not let me read it again because this is really sort of important a Oh see I would argue is the most effective communicator on this topic in at the moment the most effective communicator and I've complimented her a lot for communication ability her ability to get a message across and this is the best she could do on her biggest topic we need to talk about racism its contours is histories where it manifests how it's used because like all winning political phenomena not even finish if that's how you have to talk about it you don't have an example here's my take on racism in the United

[19:44]

here's my take on racism in the United States if you have five opportunities and because I'm white I have access to all five and because you're not white you have access to three it's a racist country because I have - five things you have access to three except your three will work every time I'm saying three things that will definitely work versus five things that will definitely work both of us have achieved a situation where we definitely have a path to a good life definitely you've got three of them I've got five of them you know worst case scenario now I would argue that if you were black or brown or a woman you might have an extra path that I don't have while I may be I have an extra path you don't have so there may be ways that there are companies looking to balance out their diversity there may be programs scholarships things like that that are not available to me that might

[20:45]

that are not available to me that might be available to you so if you live in a country that has plenty of paths that are just absolutely straightforward paths to success racism isn't your biggest problem it isn't I would argue that people talking about racism might be as big a problem as racism because they're talking about racism is what makes you feel like it exists feel like it's oppressive feel like maybe you should be thinking about it more I feel like that's the way you should frame your life we've actually reached a point where the talking about the racism is what's ruining the country whereas the actual base racism when was the last time you saw racism in your daily life seriously I try to think of an example in my actual life where I saw a racist thing I saw a person make a decision based on race it just doesn't happen I just don't see it and I would say it because I would see people wouldn't be making

[21:45]

would see people wouldn't be making those decisions in private I'd be seen see people saying how we can't hire this person or whatever I just don't see it I see people talking about it though all right let's talk about so getting back to the question of the New York Times in a normal world this would be the if things work sort of the way you would like them to work the story about the New York Times saying to its staff that they were going to change their main focus from ruch occlusion reporting to racism reporting the United States should tell you exactly what Breitbart the way was it Nolte I had a great article in this yeah John Nolte for Breitbart you have to read it I I just tweeted it so you can find it in my Twitter feed but he wrote about this and his framing was correct which is essentially New York Times admitted that the news is fake that's what I saw now other people are

[22:48]

that's what I saw now other people are going to put other interpretations on this because it is subject to interpretation but what I saw in this story based on the actual words as reported for what the New York Times said to its staff what the boss said it looked to me like they were saying we've got a framework for how we're gonna present the news now it's your job to go fill in the parts but the framework I'm telling you so the old framework was you've got to prove this collusion thing so go find stuff to make that true now the new thing is go find things that make them some reasons country guess whose problem that would be right the whole point of it is it's anti-trump because we don't have a gigantic racism problem as a country we really don't we're damn good at this stuff now we're really good at it and we should pat ourselves on the back a little bit from being the worst of the worst you know racist country you could ever imagine - pretty darn good yeah still

[23:49]

imagine - pretty darn good yeah still room to improve but pretty darn good so I wouldn't lose sight of the fact that we've improved quite a bit more to go alright so here's something that you probably don't know because you're not the business I've said this before but there are there are news organizations that are called news makers news makers and that's not every news organization and the best example I can give you is the Watergate scandal I forget the details but I believe the Watergate scandal you all know was broken by The Washington Post right and who was it the two everything's worse than ordering gay guys and but I believe that's not the story I believe there was a publication that printed the story before the New York Post or the upside not the New York Post The Washington Post yeah word Woodward and Bernstein in the Washington Post so so our history is that the

[24:51]

Post so so our history is that the Washington Post broke the story but I believe there's a somebody's got to fact-check me on this I believe there was a smaller publication that actually broke the story first but nobody cared because it was a smaller publication think about that the the entire Watergate scandal only became a national scandal because of which publication covered it when a minor publication covered it nobody cared by the bigger publication if it's the New York Times if it's Washington Post they're called newsmakers if they cover it all the other press has to cover the fact that they covered it because their coverage becomes the story so if a big publication makes something a story then it's a story the New York Times just told you they were going to make end of nothing the story of racism in the United States they're going to make that story they're going to term something that is sort of

[25:53]

going to term something that is sort of widely reported when there's you know incidents they're going to turn it into a narrative and that's going to be get the story for the United States because once the New York Times makes that the frame the other major media has to either match it or even or talk about it so they've actually said now in a recorded thing that they built their model on a hoax they complemented themselves I have well they covered the hoax I'm not making that up they actually complimented themselves for how well they covered a hoax they fooled the country for two years on one of the most important things as country's ever talked about got every part of it wrong in at least in the big picture it was wrong and then complemented themselves they got I think they got two Pulitzers out of it and now they're saying we're gonna make up a new kind of fake news about racism in the United States we're gonna frame the president for it and and we're gonna make that the news of the country now

[26:54]

make that the news of the country now you know this because you read right-leaning publications many of you saw it on social media you saw it on Breitbart you saw it in different places the people who follow only the left meaning leaning media just think about this do you think they're aware even aware that the New York Times just got caught admitting that they make up the news do you think they're aware of that nope nor will they be aware and so I was wondering how all the New York Times respond to being outed as a completely fake organization because that's what happened the New York Times was revealed to not even be a news organization I don't think that's too strong a statement how are they going to respond and I realized today that the best way for them to respond is to just not say anything just ignore it because you know

[27:56]

anything just ignore it because you know you know what happens if the New York Times ignores the story it doesn't become a story they can ignore it forever they just have to pretend it didn't happen and it will never become part of the national consciousness it'll just become one of these weird little conspiracy theories that people on the right you know seem to be subscribing to like you know weather whatever you can you can just lump it in with the other conspiracy theories so the New York Times doesn't need to even address the biggest scandal in American journalism because they know you won't see it not you but their readers their readers will never see that story think about that that's amazing and you're living you're living it you don't have to wonder if it's true you're watching it in real time you're watching the news not even pretend they're not even pretending the news anymore all right so you got

[28:59]

the news anymore all right so you got that going on let's see so let's talk about thule band Omar and Israel and all that so I guess Bill Maher has turned against the BDS movement and basically called them out poor Bill Maher now I've said this before I respect Bill Maher because he is one of the few people in the in the public eye who I believe is capable of changing his mind based on evidence that's a weird thing to say because people in the public eye I mean maybe some of you can do it but people in the public eye kind of don't change their opinion no matter what evidence is presented you know they're just sort of take aside but Bill at least can take positions on what would look like both sides so that suggests independence of thought and I believe he's changed his mind on major things in the past based on evidence so I'm gonna give him props

[30:01]

on evidence so I'm gonna give him props for being one of the few independent public thinkers very very unusual now you may disagree with him on a lot of stuff as I do as well but that's a separate situation at least he's intellectually capable which seems so seem so special these days now so even he turned against the BDS people and saying that was a bad idea now did you all see that it's allayed statement about her being denied denied permission to visit Israel except to just miss her grandmother and not be political and she talked about how she was elected and it gave Palestinians hope when she was elected in the United States and I said to myself am I reading this right I felt like I wasn't reading it right well I felt like the words that were right on the page there we're like well these must be scrambled somehow these these

[31:02]

must be scrambled somehow these these words can't be in the order which I seem to be reading them and in the sentence because I can't believe there would be an American politician who would blatantly put another nation or a group of people whatever you want to call him a head of the United States and she sent it right out loud she made it pretty clear where her priorities were and it wasn't with these citizens of the United States it was in fact with a group that are not exactly friends the United States now to say that out loud and to say it clearly is shopping and I don't think the president's had too many weeks of his life that are better than this one because the president is just having a terrific time exploiting this opportunity because first of all it's just a terrible look for the squad the

[32:02]

just a terrible look for the squad the squad is looking very bad in this because most Americans are pro-israel and they're certainly anti terrorists and I don't think that the squad is looking good here so I tweeted this morning this was my tweet I said can someone remind me which politician is the anti-semite is that the one Israel named a settlement after or the one Israel banned from entering the country now I remember I always talk about your filter on life and whether it can predict whose filter on life predicted that this president would be a great friend to Israel in Israel would like him know like no other president before which filter said that would be the case well mine and most of your filters because my filter says that the president is not a huge racist and that other countries would easily recognize this because why

[33:02]

would easily recognize this because why would other countries easily recognize it because they don't have our press because other countries have access to you know other forms of information and they don't automatically believe the press in the United States so they just look at the situation and they say well this president moved the embassy to Jerusalem okay this president says you know you recognize this as a Golan Heights as Israel all right okay all right this president is super friendly with nanny Yahoo and talks glowingly all the time about Israel and does everything for its defense and you know cracks down and stops funding of the Palestinians because they're you know Pro terrorism etc all right this president goes after I ran hard cancels the the deal puts pressure on them and Israel's like all right okay all right

[34:04]

Israel's like all right okay all right now Israel sees what he's doing they talked to him personally and they say he's our guy love this guy talking about President Trump now my view of the world incorporated all of that not the details I mean I didn't know those specific policy he thinks but I did assume that Israel would have the same opinion I did eventually now if your view was that the president praised the tiki torch of marchers who were chanting anti-semitic things in Charlottesville or even that your president supported white supremacists in general who as you know are pretty anti-israel how did that model predict anything you're seeing with how Israel is responding to this president doesn't it's complete opposites they can't exist in the same world there can't be a world where the

[35:05]

world there can't be a world where the where the opposition to trump their world view of what he says does and believes that can't exist in the same world with Israel saying hey listen Ava let's name a settlement after you we like you so much they can't exist in the same world but people are going to have to deal with that and the situation with too late allowed the President to surface the issue of this BDS stuff which I'd guess if
if to the survey of American voters just voters and so voters pay attention to the news more than people don't vote I would I would imagine if you surveyed just voters and say hey voter on the street what is the BDS movement how many would even know what that was 10% would you guess 10 percent of voters of would have even known what BDS was it stands for boycott divest I don't know what the third word is but it's

[36:06]

what the third word is but it's essentially don't do business with Israel it's the movement to pressure Israel Israel economically until they do what the Palestinians will want them to do yeah so the president has used this tool Abe visit as an excuse and Omar visit as an excuse to surface this issue which is devastatingly bad for Democrats and as the president likes to say the the squad is becoming the face of the Democrats now part of the reason that they're becoming the face and the Democrats sanctions as the acid BDS thank you so it's a boycott divest and sanctions so the president is is raising this Democrat proposition it's not something all Democrats want it's something the squad wants and a few others and making it look like it's the face of the Democrats because the Democrats are either going to have to defend it as part of their brand or they're gonna have to fight against it and either way the president wins either

[37:07]

and either way the president wins either way so if the Democrats are fighting with each other he wins if they're accepting his framing of this as a major you know Democrat brand element and then they lose the election it would be pretty tough to win an election with that brand on you so the president is having a great time with this and have you all you've all seen his funniest tweet right he said in a tweet representative to to labor wrote a letter to his Raley officials desperately wanting to visit her grandmother permission was quickly granted whereupon Talib obnoxiously turned and turned the approval down a complete set up the only real winner here is to late grandmother she doesn't have to see her now the only winner is that it still leaves grandmother because she doesn't have to see or anything now come on no matter how much you like or don't like this president you get that that's

[38:08]

like this president you get that that's funny right there's no way that isn't funny no matter what side you're on that's just pretty good if you know if this were the same joke anti-trump I'd still say it's pretty funny as a joke goes so if the president would likes to put a face on stuff this BDF stuff was just sort of a concept right the president knows that you can't you can't get attention for a concept because concepts just don't grab our imagination but people do and faces do and names so the president found a brand to put on this BDS and so you they now have you know a famous of like brand spokesperson who the president will make sure stays in front of that issue so then the other thing that the president did was he tweeted like it or not to layup and Omar or fast becoming

[39:10]

not to layup and Omar or fast becoming the face of the Democrat Party Cortes AOC is fuming not happy about this so the president tweets the AOC is not happy that the other two members of the squad are getting all the attention now do you think the president knows the inner thoughts of AOC no do you think that the president knows that she's fuming about all the attention the other two are getting no he doesn't know that and in fact she's probably not fuming about anything but do you notice what the president is doing lately and if you haven't noticed this it's kind of hilarious all right this is this is why you watch my periscope so I'm gonna I'm going to tell you something that once you see it you're gonna say you're gonna slap your head you go oh my god that's actly what's happening alright here's what's happening the president has just been getting savaged for for the allegations of being racist because as

[40:11]

allegations of being racist because as the New York Times said to their staff the the country that is anti-trump the press that's anti Trump is decided that's going to be their story and they're just gonna hammer this now how what do you do when you're accused of being a racist what's your defense well you could try to do non racist stuff and that helps a little bit but it doesn't really help enough all right if you say no I'm not then you're the person defending against charges of racism which makes you a racist you can't defend charges of racism there's nobody's ever done it and even Trump who's you know the great persuader even he can't defend against that particular charge because defending yourself just draws attention to it it's an indefensible position and he was in it so what do you do he decided to to

[41:11]

in it so what do you do he decided to to claim that the Democrats are racist you can't defend against a charge of racism but you can certainly charge other people with being racists and you can charge them with being racist long enough and show evidence and this whole BDS thing is a perfect fodder for that because it's it's pretty strong evidence for the claim and so the president is decided to go after them but he's not just going after them by calling the races which by itself would be the smartest thing you'd ever seen by the way have you ever seen anybody do this in the history of people who have ever been called racists have you ever seen anybody successfully take the claim and throw a back at the accuser in a way that people said will say huh that's actually a pretty good point I've never seen it I've never seen that if he gets away with this and it looks like it's starting to work it'll be one of the greatest political plays of all

[42:12]

of the greatest political plays of all time and who knows of it you know I'm not gonna say it will because it might not
not work but here's the other thing you did what's the second thing that the Democrats always do to the president that he can't defend the the first thing is you're a racist the second thing is they say they know what he's thinking and he's flipping out they say they can read his mind he's got some bad thoughts in there they can say they can read his mind and he's flustered they can read his mind and he's and he's fuming about something right you can't really defend against that because it's just somebody making claims about your inner thoughts and if you say no I'm not really thinking that people don't believe it so what's he do you writes the tweet and he says like it or not to Laban Omar or fast becoming the face of the Democrat Party Cortes a or C is fuming not happy about this now is that true no it's not

[43:12]

about this now is that true no it's not true that a or C is fuming about the attention the other two are getting she's probably happy for him but the president is throwing back at the Democrats their two primary plays he's catching them and throwing them back and now they're gonna have to deal with the wounded badger that they threw in trumps backyard and Trump just picked up that wounded badger and threw him back in there in their backyard see how they they play with it so they're gonna have to deal with these two things why are you acting so racist and why are your inner thoughts so crazy so watch the president go after to their inner thoughts some more because it's it's a it's wonderfully subversively hilariously effective because it's what they've been doing to him and there's just no defense so so he's got off a defense where we like ambassador he's on offense we like invest on offense all right you

[44:15]

we like invest on offense all right you see if I have talked about everything I talked about here oh and then here's the other story so Google is d monetizing me to the point where it looks like they will successfully drive you off of you so I didn't think that would be possible it looked to me at the start I thought that Google was going to monetize my videos to the point where they didn't grow very quickly or to the point where my revenue didn't increase very much but they've actually reversed it so where it went to it's probably down 30% recently and so now they just routinely D monetize all my content they don't add ads sometimes they they hide it from recommendations and here's the thing it's no longer a hidden right it's not hidden it's obvious that Google is reducing my impact on social media completely obvious now why is that not a

[45:15]

completely obvious now why is that not a national story put together what I told you earlier in in my periscope with this fact it is objectively absolutely true that a major media platform has destroyed the Republic and taken freedom of speech effectively away even though not technically in the constitutional sense because they're not the government but it didn't affect effectively they've taken away my freedom of speech by D monetizing me and preventing me from from being seen now what would make that an actual story why is that not a headline in the New York Times because they don't want it to be the only reason that's not the biggest story in the country not just about me but about you know other voices that are being similarly throttled back the only reason it's not the biggest story in the country is because the news making organizations have decided it's not so

[46:17]

organizations have decided it's not so if New York Times never does a story on this it's never a story it's like it doesn't exist if the Washington Post never covers it it's like it doesn't exist and if they do cover it but they say it's imaginary then that's the story the New York Times can make me completely go away by running one story that says crazy cartoonist thinks the world is trying to vent him from being seen and then they can write a story they could just make up stuff and he's imagining in his fever dreams that everybody's against him and he's probably a conspiracy theorist because he thinks he thinks that even though social media platforms are making special rules just for him you can make it sound crazy pretty easily so if you think there's anything like a free press you have proof that that doesn't exist all right if there were a free press the biggest story in the country would be that the social media platforms are

[47:18]

that the social media platforms are running the country but they're not gonna run that story because that's not that's not bad for Trump all right so just think about that just just hold in your head that the social media companies are operating with complete impunity because the few news organizations that are news makers the ones who decide what is news have decided not to make it news just think about that is that a bigger problem than anything else listen the news the biggest news is that the news is broken but the news can't report on the news being broken because the news is broken so that's all for today a live feed before New Hampshire rally talked about updating the post office into a social media platform I've heard that idea I forget who was it

[48:21]

who was it who came up with that idea originally but yeah that's that's certainly something I'd want to look at all right I'm going to talk to you all later and you have a great day I'm gonna have a great day so you have a great day bye for now
