[0:15]

um hey everybody come on in here I hope you're sleeping off your holiday weekend got enough rest and you are ready to hit it this week hit it hard and the best way to start that is with coffee or a beverage of your choice does it but it doesn't take much all it takes is a cup or a mug or glasses if there's time shell this tank your thermos flask and team Grail goblet vessels of any kind
fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee enjoyed me now for the unparalleled pleasure the don't between the end of the day the thing that makes everything better the simultaneous sip ready ready ready ready come on savor it hold savor it good okay well I don't know if you've

[1:16]

good okay well I don't know if you've noticed but the the troubles on the Left have a new have new marching orders and man is frightening so I spent the last day or so slapping trolls on Twitter now sometimes I just you know block them and walk away but when the trolls get new marching orders and they all come in with the same kind of message it's a little more interesting and I tend to engage now one of the questions that people ask me is because there's an article from Wired Wired did a big interview with me when I was doing my book Tomer recently and the wired interview just dropped now I haven't read it because I'm in so many articles this month I don't read them all but I tweeted it and I twenty-two the article the article focuses on really there's no reason to

[2:19]

focuses on really there's no reason to focus on this except it was one interesting part from my book loser thang and one of the things I focused on was I talked about how to have some new rules for civility on the internet and I talked about my 48-hour rules for apology apologizing in my 20 year rule for just letting things go if somebody did something more than 20 years ago and it wasn't murder or something permanent like that they just let it go because they're different people but anyway the point is the trolls came after me and they were noting that I was insulting my trolls just for fun the internet I do have proof aden entertainment and people said Scott Scott Scott's you hypocrites you hypocrite how can you say you're in favor of civility on the Internet at the very same time you are insulting trolls

[3:22]

very same time you are insulting trolls insulting trolls is the opposite of civility to which I say I'm also opposed to murder but if you break into my house at night I will kill you is that inconsistent I am opposed to murder but if you break into my house in the middle of the night I will kill you are those inconsistent I don't think so I don't think so at all if a troll comes after you on Twitter you have a free punch you can be as awful as you want there's no rule of civility that says you need to be nice to rude people that's not is there any any form of manners that suggests is you need to be rude you know nice to an there's no rule like that either I don't suggest that anybody do it now you might want to know why they're being the way they're being if there's something wrong with them it's like a

[4:24]

something wrong with them it's like a mental problem well then maybe you want to walk away but if patrol is coming in for political purposes or just to be a sociopath and just to hurt a stranger those people are just a free punch why would you not take a free punch on somebody who completely deserves it so I do it for fun and entertainment and fuel but so the newest batch I'm trying to figure out where they're getting their marching orders because if you noticed in the last 24 hours or so maybe maybe a little bit sooner than that they're coming with the same approach and there are lots of them and they're all trolls you can tell by the by their accounts now they may not be paid rolls but they're obviously organized because they're coming with the same messages so the messages against me always take the same form there's always the sincere guy I like the sincere troll the sincere troll is

[5:24]

the sincere troll the sincere troll is hi I used to love your comic but now because I know you're a terrible person I can never enjoy it again so I call those the sincere trolls they try to hurt me with sincerity now I don't believe they were reading Dilbert yesterday I'm sure none of it's true so that's one flavor the other flavor are the people who are asking me if I support kids and cages and or Steven Miller in the White House so apparently there's some kind of general instruction that trolls will go after whoever they think is a trump supporter and they're gonna ask them those questions do you favor kids in cages or Stephen Miller and it's sort of do you still beat your wife kind of thing because you know that they want to concentrate the entire trump presidency into one personnel question that I don't know

[6:26]

personnel question that I don't know much about I mean I couldn't tell you everything that is Stephen Miller does or thinks the same with all the rest of his advisers I don't know much about it I know people say bad things what are the odds that bad things said about a thing people on the internet are true low you know I mean could be true could be not true so I don't have an opinion about something I'm informed about and really don't have a way to become informed but that seems to be the neutral attack is going after Trump supporters directly one of the people who is supporting this idea of going after Trump supporters so remember in 2016 one of the worst of the stakes the Hillary Clinton made was the deplorable comment but even Hillary Clinton limited the deplorable to a subset of Republicans so even Hillary was saying

[7:28]

Republicans so even Hillary was saying well you got your Republicans that we just disagree with in essence I'm paraphrasing you know the ones we just disagree with politically but then they're the deplorable you know a percentage of them that are irredeemable horrible people now that didn't work out for her because people correctly or incorrectly took deplorable 's to me and she was really talking about all Trump supporters she wasn't she wasn't but it was easy to twist it into that as a political attack so calling some percentage of Trump supporters deplorable turned out to be one of the worst political moves of all time so they've decided to double down instead of saying that some portion of Trump supporters are deplorable the newest attack is that anybody who voted voted for ever says the good things about Trump is supporting kids and cages

[8:31]

about Trump is supporting kids and cages and way supremacy so they've doubled down under thing that didn't work that's so typical now there's a fellow who works senior correspondent for Fox now if I reduce a topic by saying that it came from a senior correspondent for Vox what's your first thought well here's some hot mess of thinking right here so whatever I say next you know it's just gonna be so bad crazy that I almost don't even have to say it I could just say and that a senior correspondent for Fox said some things that are batshit crazy the details probably don't even matter but I'm going to give them to you anyway so he says bub

[9:36]

she says seems to be my my notes are out of order as soon as I find it well alright I will give it to you in rough form he said that we should go after damnit
copy and paste sorry I'm making you wait but this is totally worth it no I guess that didn't print for some reason alright so the point is this Vox correspondent said basically he was in favor of going after people as voters so he said that the days of not going after people for being having bad opinions should be over and that you should shun people socially and you should you know go after them socially and otherwise for having bad opinions and I responded and I said remind me who gets to decide

[10:39]

I said remind me who gets to decide which beliefs are abhorrent so the word that he used was abhorrent and he said that you should shun people with abhorrent opinions and you shouldn't be able to ostracize them and and be bad to them and so I said who gets to decide which beliefs are abhorrent for example I don't know this to be true but I'm guessing that a senior correspondent for Fox is in favor of a more now I I stay out of the abortion question because I would rather recuse myself as the Pam let women to work it out then I'll support whatever they they come up with so I don't have a dog in the fight per se at least in terms of arguing about it but it is nonetheless a objective statement that half of the country believes that someone who supports abortion has an abhorrent belief so if we were to use his standard half of the country should buy his own standard shun him and try to drive him

[11:44]

standard shun him and try to drive him out in the country somehow I guess so it's probably the most bankrupt ridiculous stupid opinion you'll ever see in your life because if you don't have a standard for what abhorrent behavior looks like you can't really measure to it you can't really manage to it so this is a part of a larger thing so then the other troubles are the laundry list trolls and a whole bunch of them came down at the same time and their laundry list list looks like this this one from Glenn Craven on Twitter or maybe Scott Adams could have decided not to support a now watch the list of ironic racist narcissist con man with no real leadership acumen clearly pulled into Russia and enamored of dictators huge Rob Reiner Rob Reiner comes also with the same same kind of thing and Rob Reiner said

[12:44]

kind of thing and Rob Reiner said yesterday every elected Republican knows that this president is guilty of countless impeachable offenses I would list them but then I would have to show that there are no impeachable offenses but their countless careless so many impeachable defenses I couldn't possibly list them all on Twitter but they meaning the Republicans along with many wait Evangelic ins and white supremacists have made a pact with Putin have they have the white evangelicals and white supremacists made a pact with Putin but unlike a pact with the devil this one can be unsigned in other words that the Republicans can change their mind it's not too late so when I read this I say to myself is this a political opinion or is it a cry for help in other words is Rob Reider signaling a

[13:47]

in other words is Rob Reider signaling a strong political opinion or is the strong signal that he's got a mental health problem that's the actual serious question that's a being completely serious that's not a political statement is this a sign of mental illness let me read it again and just just just listen to it now imagine that this is a prominent person who knows he'll be noticed you'll be noticed by lots of other probability of people who could affect his life in his career and so he sang this in public and I would say you believe that because but he's so consistent you know I can't read his mind but he's been so consistent I assume he believes it so he thinks that every elected Republican knows that Trump is guilty of countless and peaceable offenses does that sound like a sane opinion that every Republican knows the president is guilty of countless of people offenses

[14:47]

countless of people offenses there's no evidence of that there's plenty of evidence to the contrary but there's certainly darkness of that even though the left there's evidence that Republicans think he's done a lot of impeachable things but they along with many white evangelicals and white supremacists have made a pact with Putin really is that is that a sane mentally stable statement they're white supremacists have made a pact with Putin what does that even mean what does that even mean
I think it's just a mental health problem that's disguising as a political opinion is that too strong because I'm not trying to exaggerate you know my basic philosophy of life is that people come up with their opinions

[15:48]

that people come up with their opinions first and then they back into the rationalization well here's my opinion because of my feelings and now I'm going to you know tortured away make it sound like there was some reasoning that went into it this is the cleanest example of that because his opinion appears to be just a mental health problem and again I don't mean that as hyperbole now I'm not a mental health professional so I can't I'm not saying that he has a mental health problem I'm making the nuanced distinction I'm saying that I as an untrained professional simply observing him that he registers with me as having a met with a pretty severe mental problem that doesn't me is true and I'm certainly not saying I'm qualified to to diagnose it I'm just telling you the way its received by me my impression as a

[16:48]

its received by me my impression as a non-professional non non qualified person is that it's a mental disorder of some type that he's backed into some kind of a reason and B and you could tell me because the reasons don't make any frickin sense at all I mean who could possibly think that every elected Republican knows not just suspects not just has a few problems with the president but every elected Republican knows that this president is guilty of countless impeachable offenses you actually couldn't even count them there's so many there's just no way that that's a serious opinion from a person with a stable working intellect it just doesn't feel like it to me now I can be wrong and I'm not qualified to do diagnose mental illness but if I were I'd be looking here to find some all right so look for that I wonder if their a/b testing it but it looks like the new approach is to go after Trump Trump supporters and say do you like

[17:52]

Trump supporters and say do you like Stephen Miller do you like kids in cages and try to try to make all Trump supporters feel like they're garbage people in fact that's that's the most common that guy the thing I see is that I'm a garbage person because I write and talk about Trump I'm a garbage person now let me let me tell you let me show you a picture and I came up with it's like this let's see if you can see this so this little dart sorry about that I don't think I can light it up let's see if I could put on the back light hold on
alright just ignore that just ignore that bright spot in there so this is how I see the world I see it I see politics

[18:55]

I see the world I see it I see politics is sort of a circle so up at the top of the circle you see people who are exactly in the middle of the left and right they put Biden up there just as one example he sort of close to the middle but he's he's left of it Trump is farther from the middle so I put him right in the the far right and then I put Elizabeth Warren as sort of the the opposite of that but down at the bottom which would be both the far left and the far right it's where they meet that's basically a hate based philosophy now they hate different things or different people but they all start with hate and then they rationalize it backwards so I see them as the same I don't see any difference between Nazis and anti foul you could argue the Nazis have a bigger death count but you know that's not the relevant part the relevant part is that they're all starting with hate and then their reasoning backwards from that it's like well I hate this

[19:55]

from that it's like well I hate this group of people so what's that mean about my political opinions so that's how I see the world and the the trolls identify and the neo-nazis and the white waste supremacist all the same all the same category I don't make any distinction and I think that's helpful all right let's talk about a few other things Canada is going more nuclear so a group of premiers 3 premiers from three different regions in Canada got together and decided that they would start supporting the design and building of small modular nuclear power stuff now it's going to take five to ten years before any of these actually get built but it's important it's important that there were three of them and it's important that they came up with a

[20:55]

important that they came up with a long-range plan now on Twitter on Twitter a gentleman said that Zach Kanter so he's a the user on Twitter Zach Kanter and he saw that article he said what a huge drawback of nuclear power is that it doesn't dismantle systems of oppression it only produces clean energy this makes it unsuitable for solving the climate crisis which isn't just about the environment and then he showed a picture which is saying that one benefit of climate change let's say policy would be to dismantle the entire patriarchy system basically the entire system of government so I said to myself huh what kind of background would you have to have to have such a bad

[21:58]

you have to have to have such a bad opinion and what kind of training experience would you have to have to hold this point of view because one thing I could tell you for sure it's not economics and it's not politics probably not history so I said to myself what kind of background is yeah so I looked at his LinkedIn profile he has a BA in science and marketing pretty good and he's involved in some startups so he is technical and he also has some marketing pretty good smart guy so I'm gonna say if you know if he were tape to take an IQ test probably do really well because he's got an advanced degrees but what would science and marketing tell you about changing the economic and political system in this country now much right so he's got this giant blank

[22:59]

much right so he's got this giant blank spot if you study economics you're certainly not well if you're honest about it you're not trying to turn the country into a completely different socialist experiment but here's the thing that most smart economists would know if your country is doing better than it has ever done in the history of humankind your economy is the strongest and separate and and on pretty much every metric we're improving under those conditions do you make a large a risky change to your system it is the right time to make a large risky change to your entire system you're dismantling it rebuilding it when things are going better than they've ever gone before now know is that a hundred percent of economists would tell you the same thing

[24:00]

economists would tell you the same thing you know unless they're also in politics in which case you know that that can change things but I don't think there's any anybody who has business experience or economics experience who would tell you that a good time to change everything like a big risky major change from the ground up into your society in your economics and everything is when everything is better than December bent that's exactly the time you don't do that so this is a perfect example of what I call loser think which is that the person involved Zac Cantor from all indications is a very high IQ person so there's nothing about what I'm saying which should be construed as saying anything about his general intelligence because it looks pretty high but he's got clearly a blind spot for something really important somebody says he's trawling meaning that

[25:00]

somebody says he's trawling meaning that you can't tell the difference between parity and reality right because I tweeted that this morning this is one of those opinions where you look at you go I don't know is he just a really good troll or does he actually believe this then I look at his background I go oh you could believe this he's got a blind spot for economics all right one of the weird effects of the Democrats voter shaming project so that's what's happening now that Democrats are trying to shame Trump supporters into not voting for them what is the unintended consequence of that well they're probably a few that we can't predict well one of the unintended consequences is that all of your political polls will be shitty from now on would you trust a political poll in an environment where

[26:01]

political poll in an environment where people are being ashamed for supporting one of the candidates no you would not so the voter shaving should have the effect of making all future political polls complete because the Republicans are just going to stop answering honestly now let me make a recommendation if you're a trump supporter you should answer the poll you know if somebody calls you and says let me pull you and there you should lie you should lie to the pollsters because it'd be really funny I know some people are already doing it's obvious to me it's obvious that some Republicans are just lying could be because they don't want to be overheard by their own spouse that's a real thing but I would recommend it to all Trump supporters if you get a chance to be part of a poll because it's funny you should lie somebody says we already did

[27:04]

should lie somebody says we already did and are and I've got a feeling I didn't need to tell you that I I think I didn't need to tell you that I think is just sort of spontaneously happening one of the reasons is Republicans like a good practical joke am I right people conservatives enjoy a good practical joke and I'm not sure the people left have the same type of sense of humor on average you know obviously individuals are are all over the place but not average I think the left doesn't like a good practical joke as much as people on the right so play a good practical joke somebody says I lied four years ago yeah
if somebody says yes it's a reflex yeah look at all the people saying that they already lied to pollsters well I think that's gonna go down to overdrive imagine how much fun you will have on an

[28:07]

imagine how much fun you will have on an election day if all the polls were wrong again and Trump gets re-elected in a landslide can you imagine how much fun you're gonna have if he gets re-elected in a landslide and all the polls were wrong right up to Election Day come on that would be funny you know it would all right let's see what else we got going on
all right a few more topics here Mexico just had this gigantic gun battle between the military and police and the cartels 21 people dead and that's not even counting wounded so this just happened I think yesterday 21 people dead in a gun battle between police and the cartels could you imagine that kind of news happening in this country and apparently

[29:07]

happening in this country and apparently what started it all was the cartel you know rolled into some town in Mexico near the border and and actually tried to take over the town like Isis that the cartel actually came in with a military sized contingent to actually just take over town and they succeeded they took over a town they held territory and the Mexican military came in and killed them and a few of the several cops were or policemen were killed at the same time unfortunately now apparently the murder rate in Mexico is a hundred a day on average a hundred a day so let's make no mistake the cartels are now a essentially a Chinese proxy force too strong there's a too strong to say that the cartels are a Chinese proxy military

[30:08]

the cartels are a Chinese proxy military I think they are I mean that's not how they see themselves of course but in effect because they're handling Chinese fentanyl which is shifted to this country and kills tens of thousands and that's supported by China it's supported by their leadership because they they have the ability to stop it they choose not to so I think war is guaranteed between the United States and the cartels and I'm going to make a further prediction it will not necessarily I'll put it necessarily to add you a little bit there won't necessarily be with the cooperation of the government of Mexico do you think there's any chance that the government of Mexico is not armed by the cartels there's no chance of that the cartels have clearly

[31:09]

chance of that the cartels have clearly controlled the government of Mexico so getting the Mexican government to agree to u.s. military action because the cartels couldn't ever happen because the cartels own the military and if somebody in the eye oh the government there's somebody in the government of Mexico said yeah go ahead come on in and help us get rid of these cartel people well that politician would be dead by the afternoon so we can't get Mexico's government's approval and we can't let a Chinese military proxy force on our border so I think we have to attack China by wiping out the cartels now if the cartels decided to change their business from not being you know to something that's not a Chinese proxy military force well I might change my idea of what we need to do about it but given that it is an active attack on the United States by a Chinese proxy force

[32:12]

United States by a Chinese proxy force the cartels I think we have every right to go in militarily without anybody's permission and and in fact there's no practical way to get anybody's permission you could ask but there's nobody really to ask because it's just cartels and people controlled by cartels alright I was wondering if there's something that might be called a Trump effect that has changed the psychology of the Hong Kong protesters as well as the Iranian public apparently the Iranian public is getting pretty serious about protesting and rioting and trying to take down their government or at least influence their government so there's a lot going on in Iran we don't have a lot of reporting from it but it's getting pretty pretty hot down there and Hong Kong as well and the thing that you would say about both of those situations is one of the odds the

[33:15]

those situations is one of the odds the Hong Kong could ever prevail over China like just on the surface of it you'd say well zero right I mean if you had to bet if you had to make a long-term bet all right 20 years from now does China have full control of Hong Kong or did Hong Kong somehow win their autonomy which way would you bet well you put all your money on China eventually having full control of just geographically there there's just no way that's not going to happen right and yet the Hong Kong protesters are fighting as if they feel they can win because if you didn't feel you could win you wouldn't put up this kind of fight you'd move or you'd put up with it or something so there's something about the psychology of the Hong Kong protesters that makes them think they can prevail in what looks like an impossible situation likewise the Iranian protesters apparently feel they can make

[34:17]

protesters apparently feel they can make some kind of a difference so they wouldn't be doing what they're doing yet one of the odds that that the street protests can overthrow you know the regime given the control that the regime has very low what do you say no not impossible you know nothing's impossible but what are the odds that the Iranian protesters will succeed on the surface of things looks pretty low but they don't think so apparently because they're working pretty hard at doing it so that's what I'm calling the Trump effect I think there are people fighting for freedom who maybe before didn't think it was within reach there's something about Trump that makes you think anything's possible I mean partly because he got elected and then he keeps doing things that are supposed to be impossible but he's doing them fairly routinely how about starting

[35:18]

them fairly routinely how about starting to trade world with China impossible well okay he's doing that about wiping out Isis's territorial holdings I said Bob okay he did that and you could think of other examples right how about moving the moving our embassy to Jerusalem he can't do that okay he just did that how about recognizing the Golan Heights as part of Israel he can't okay he just did that I feel as though there's something about the psychology of the world and you see the Hong Kong protesters in particular waving American flags and thanking the president for signing the that Hong Kong legislation that puts some pressure on China so I feel as though Trump has changed the psychology of struggling people in oppressive places he just might have convinced them that they've got a shot

[36:19]

convinced them that they've got a shot now I think I I hope they're not depending on the United States to step in because they might be and I hope that's not the only thing to rely on because I don't know how I don't know how much we could possibly step in and either these situations without making them far worse because if the United States gets involved directly you know in some obvious way then you know the the regimes in both cases can get tougher because then it's like they're fighting the United States so it's a tough place to be but I think the world is being affected by the the Trump example in some way here is here's some yeah I've got a couple of other topics

[37:22]

and that is oh let's talk about Lisa Paige you know I like to update you on my
my diction's both good and bad for example on the bad side I predicted a year ago that Kabul Harris would get the nomination for the Democrats if you had to guess today you'd probably say Scott that might be your worst prediction but I'm sticking with it because the reason for it didn't change it just I found out new information which is she's the worst campaigner in the history of campaigners but it's also fixable she has the only problem that could be fixed get rid of your sister as your campaign very easy now I don't know that she'll fix it because firing your sister is pretty tough but let me say this as clearly as possible if you can't fire your sister you can't be our president table Harris I'm talking to you if you can't fire your sister you don't have what it takes

[38:26]

your sister you don't have what it takes to be President fire your sister show us you got you got at least a little spunk show us that you're in charge and not your sister because it's based on the reporting it's pretty obvious that the sister is the problem so that would be an example of what will probably be a wrong prediction but I'm sticky sticky with it because I think it wouldn't be fair to revise my prediction on that you know just because the there's some new information but there was one prediction I made a long time ago that as far as I know I am the only person in the world who made it I so fact-checked me on this this is a prediction I made that I believe I believe I'm literally the only person who ever made this prediction it had to do with the the texts and emails between lousã Paige and Peter struck in which they mentioned they quote insurance policy and you know that

[39:27]

insurance policy and you know that everybody on the right said of the insurance policy clearly and unambiguously refers to the fact that we need to get rid of Trump with you know our clever legal Nations as an insurance policy in case he gets elected right and I said it was I said it was nothing I said that once you heard the context of it you would not think that the meeting was we have to get rid of Trump this way in case he gets elected so now she is testified and she said that what the insurance policy referred to is the following that they had this investigation in which there wasn't much in the way of evidence that there might be some suspicion of Trump campaign colluding with Russia if we elected Trump and he had that connection to Russia that'd be a big problem but since they they expressly believed

[40:28]

but since they they expressly believed it was very unlikely he would get elected they were kind of slow walking the investigation because they thought it would probably not matter you know it was just one battery he just wouldn't get elected it doesn't matter the insurance policy was in case he got elected in which case you really do need to know if there's a Russian connection but it wasn't so much about removing him from office it was simply in the context of doing her job if you're if you're sending President as a Russia and Tango mint then you better make sure you've looked into it so the insurance policy was just looking into that's it in case it was a Russian entanglement somebody says do you believe here all right so that's a fair question so the fair question is do you believe her version of it or do you believe that she well let's let's diagram that out in order to believe I stay with the year in order to believe

[41:29]

stay with the year in order to believe that what she meant was we need to remove the president in sort of a coup if he gets elected in order to believe the coup version of the insurance policy you would have to believe that Lisa page thought it would be a good idea to have a discoverable digital record of her coup attempt do you believe that do that a lawyer involved in the FBI who was with an FBI guy her boyfriend do you believe that she would have written in a discoverable digital text her intention to be part of a coup attempt to overthrow the government do you think that because you would have to believe that in order to accept your interpretation that she was talking about a coup and she just put it right there in a text message maybe you know that falls into the category of anything's possible right now compare

[42:31]

anything's possible right now compare that to the interpretation that she was just a government person doing her job because her interpretation fits all of the evidence and it is perfectly within her job description it is perfectly consistent with how you'd want an employee to act would you want her to treat the investigation as her highest priority given that there was a in her opinion 91% chance it would never matter she did exactly what you would want your employee to do she she slow walked a little bit but made sure that they had you know they were looking to win it enough just in case there was something to worry about now I know that some of you are hating this because it's triggering you into cognitive dissonance if you just spent the last couple of years thinking there was a smoking gun and it was Lisa Paige talking about the insurance policy you have to compare that interpretation yeah I think I'll

[43:32]

that interpretation yeah I think I'll put my coup attempt in a discoverable digital form she's a lawyer working with the FBI nobody who's a lawyer working for the FBI puts a coup attempt in a discoverable electronic form nobody you know it'll never happen I did say anything's possible but there's nothing less likely than that now what are the odds that she did her job the way you should do a job which is she said her priorities she said what her priorities were and then she told you how she was working too
too your priorities what are the odds that that happened most normal thing in the world so one interpretation is the most normal thing in the world that you prioritize your work and see Centeno this probably won't matter but as an insurance policy let's make sure we're chipping away at it most normal thing in the world versus the most unusual thing in the world that a lawyer working with the FBI would put

[44:34]

a lawyer working with the FBI would put her coup attempt in a discoverable text message seriously seriously I mean sure anything's possible but that's pretty unlikely so I believe I am the only person who said that there were that there would emerge an ordinary explanation can anybody fact check me on this from the very beginning did I not say and am I not the only person who said this find me one other person who ever said this I said that there would emerge and ordinary explanation for the insurance policy there it is now you can disbelieve it but are you but aren't you arrogance let me talk to Jack Lew one who is saying with the question mark arrogance if you care

[45:34]

question mark arrogance if you care handle this periscope in which I clearly started with an example where I was very wrong and that I gave an example in which I'm right so I could balance it out and your comment is arrogance you need to step up your game there jack all right this periscope you're allowed to say when you do good things and you are allowed to say when you do bad things if that looks like arrogance do you need to check yourself maybe that's something about you that's making you interpret it that way people can do people can be right about things and people can be wrong if I only talked about the things I was right about well you might have a you know you'd have a point there but you don't I think you're missing some big pieces of the story like McCabe's secret meeting who well the secret meeting rotted enough

[46:35]

well the secret meeting rotted enough they used the word secret but by far the most likely explanation or ordinary things so I'm gonna stick with that so representative carried Adler's panel is drawing up articles of impeachment and are you not completely over this with beach band stuff I feel as if the Democrats I just put a tourniquet around their own necks and they're twisting it it's like you know we'll get them a couple more twists and we'll get him I'm just gonna twist this tourniquet on my own neck a few more times than that Trump will be an oval office oh I mean a vessel that's what it looks like he means Lisa's arrogance OS the if the arrogance comment was about the lawyer you you think you think that was huge the arrogance would explain why a lawyer

[47:36]

the arrogance would explain why a lawyer for the FBI would put treason in a discoverable text message I don't think arrogance arrogance doesn't quite fit that situation I didn't block him out
Ukrainian president olenski continued once again to deny he spoke with President Trump quote from the position of a quid pro quo so he gave this interview to some big publications and he was asked about that and he said look I never talked to the president from the position of a quid pro quo Solinsky said and they said that's not my thing I don't want us to look like beggars now um you ask yourself how did this comedian become president and then you see this sentence sentence that's not my thing I don't want us to look like beggars that

[48:37]

want us to look like beggars that sentence completely persuaded me because until then until he until I read this exact sentence I thought to myself yeah well you know maybe nobody said quid pro quo but you know he had to at least feel that way like he had to at least feel like you know there was something going on it certainly must have felt that way but look at this it's just this perfect wording because that's not my thing when somebody says that's not my thing that's really persuasive I use that a lot by the way people will accuse me of whatever the people who accuse me of horrible things and if you've ever tried this it works really well you say you know that's not that's not my thing
do you feel how how persuasive that is because if somebody is really guilty and they're just trying to defend themselves

[49:37]

they're just trying to defend themselves they use like you know lawyerly arguments like well that's not exactly what I said and maybe you misheard me and you know well I don't think you're looking at the full context but when somebody is truly and clearly nowhere even in the same zip code as the accusation depending on the accusation sometimes this is just really persuasive you just say you know that's not my thing it's just nothing I would do now I don't have to defend I don't have to defend it in this situation because I don't have to defend it in any situation that's in the category of things I don't do it's just not my thing it's very effective think about it and then he goes on to say I don't want us to look like beggars and I thought oh once again good command of language because when he says I don't want us to look like beggars do you feel how do you feel when you hear that the

[50:39]

how do you feel when you hear that the way you feel is you believe it is so persuasive I don't want us to look like beggars the reason you believe that is that you would believe that no matter who said it it wouldn't matter who said it that's sort of this statement I don't want us to look like beggars everybody believes that nobody wants to look like a beggar right so that's not my thing I don't want us to look like beggars this is the first time I've been convinced that it literally never crossed his mind that there was any kind of a quid pro quo hanging over it he says but you have to understand we're at war if you're our strategic partner talking about the United States then you can't go blocking anything for us so he's saying it's not a quid pro quo it's it's it's a simple question we're at war you're our allies there's stuff you said you'd give us I'm not negotiating math

[51:41]

you'd give us I'm not negotiating math that's the wrong context is it's not even a question of negotiating it's like you should just be giving us this because it's already agreed very good framing then he says I think that's just about fairness it's not about a quid pro quo and he goes it just goes without saying although he said it now fairness of course is a persuasion term it's not there's nothing fair in the real world but in this context it works really well so interesting no I don't think that matters because you know impeachment will go on no matter if there's a victim or not a victim or whether the victim knows he is a victim nothing that's going to matter all right pretty sure I had at least one other thing to talk about here let's see if I do yeah that's

[52:43]

about here let's see if I do yeah that's about it so I think you're gonna see a lot of race grifters coming after you in the coming months between having the election they'll all disappear right after the election but the of the Biden video of his finger Biden so Biden Biden Joe Biden there's a photo of him biting his wife's finger now if you see it ahead of context while talking about the hair and leg thing - if you see that out of context that looks really bad if you see it in context it only looks a little bit bad but it's weird so his wife was speaking and gesturing and she didn't know that he was he was standing to her side and when she was gesturing with her hand her hand was sort of going in front of his face and he was he was reacting in a funny way to the crowd by going you know I tried to avoid her hand in a humorous way and then to sell the gag you know

[53:44]

way and then to sell the gag you know where her head was still out there he just went and bit her hand so he was just being funny but if you see it at a context you just see him biting a hand and the first thing you think is so it works or somebody says what's a race grifter a race grifter is all the people who were coming after Trump supporters to say that if you support kids and cages and Stephen Miller that you know you're a bad person so they're using race to get a result so their race grifters they don't really care about the kids and cages they really don't they care about usually that's an issue so they're just grifters because they don't care about the issue they care about the power the other video of Joe Biden has to be seen to be believed unless attuned to be believed it's the one about he talks about being in a swimming pool and the funniest part is

[54:45]

swimming pool and the funniest part is you see me surrounded by African American children and he wanted to say you could tell he wanted to say this and if you didn't catch this replay the video and watch it because you'll find out why he went off the rails he started to say that he had hairs on his legs because he said he had very hairy legs and that the hairs were and then he paused did he see that and then because the hairs are it looks around and it's all african-american kids rather and he wanted to say white he wanted to say the hairs of my leg were white but he looks around and he realizes that that's somehow the wrong word if you're standing in a group of african-american children and he goes the hairs on my leg which are blood do people have blond hair leg I guess they do but he goes blood and from that point

[55:46]

do but he goes blood and from that point he was just lost the rails he talks about people in the pool reaching and and smoothing the his blood leg hairs just so they could watch them come up again and I just I'm watching this video and you know just like he Wow what am I seeing so that was video alone that video alone is certainly enough to take him out of the race all right so if you think there's any chance of Joe Biden winning the election just watch that video a lot of the other videos like that the compilation videos of his gas are really an exaggerated way to look at something that's not as bad as it probably looks but this video this is the real deal this is a guy who's not quite up to the task

[56:46]

quite up to the task alright alright I think that's all I had for now and I will talk to you later
