um hey Austin come on in here I know I'm competing with the president who's doing a press conference with McCrone right now but but cronies talking in French and we don't understand that so get that just what were you it's time for coffee with Scott Adams and the highlight of the day is a little thing I call the simultaneous mo you need to participate it is a cup of mocha our glasses mr. Stein challenge tankard thermos flask and team ground goblin vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid I like off you join me now for the unparalleled pleasure the dopamine hit of the day the thing to max everything got her the simultaneous up go Carl you bought the the art the Jake temper and I did the auction thank you I'm glad you bought that well let's talk about some things I was listening to the press conference with President he's

[1:12]

press conference with President he's over at the NATO conference in Europe and it's interesting to hear him say directly we should be friends with Russia at the same time he's meeting with NATO an organization entirely formed to Russia and I I've said this a million times but I think I'll just keep sitting here forever we don't have a reason to not be friends with Russia if we thought poking each other now right now we have a reason to not be friends because we keep poking each other yeah with cyber stuff and sanctions and everything else but what if we just stop doing that cuz there's no game there's nothing you can do that's gonna make Russia go away there's nothing they can do that's gonna make us go away so you know the thought about weaking their weakening the other country and comes in some

[2:13]

country and comes in some last and you know message with their elections you can do all that stuff that's not really gonna lead you to anything good there's just nothing there's no there there and I say this a lot but we we tend to manage from a we manage from a perspective of shortage if there were only limited resources in the world we needed of in Russia datum well maybe you need to have a war or at least treat each other like enemies but we don't really have that we don't have a resource shortage these artists situation for both Russia and the United States is that we get along we just both make more money less war it's all good now what is Russia's thinking on this topic I have no idea but my guess is that they poke us because they think

[3:13]

that they poke us because they think we're poking them and I'm sure we are so what if we be stopped or what if they do stopped is there any way to get there and it seems to me that if you didn't have Putin in charge well maybe there's just no way to get there but really there's one behind that that needs to be changed just one person's and I think the president is good at that stuff so I don't know if we can get there where Russia will be our friend we don't have to worry about them maybe both of us can worry equally together about China which does look a little scarier all right here's a good example of loser think in the wild so as you know I'm sure you know I wrote a book called lose you think that's out recently and you should buy it because it's the best gift you'll ever give your family will love you you'll be a star of the family for the first time ever if you give them loser

[4:13]

first time ever if you give them loser think the best book in the world but here's the example of the one in the wild I tweeted around an article about gun control which is pretty interesting he a guy who's good with statistics made the case that it makes sense to over to a ar-15s because of the unlikely chance that'll be some kind of a a war or civil unrest or revolution or something and it makes a really good case if you if you haven't read it because I'm not gonna try to have paraphrasing here but if you haven't read his mathematical explanation of why you need some pretty high-powered rifles you should consider a Twitter feed you can see if any way that led to somebody making this covenant there was something named Olivier Libre and he says he's quoting the article at the end this has you know

[5:14]

the article at the end this has you know why would you want to own one of those things talking about ar-15 and and the author of the article said please don't be surprised if they simply respond why wouldn't you yeah that's the conclusion of his article this has statistically it makes sense don't a god the unlikely chance that that you need one and so this critic or at least commenter Twitter says well let's take that same argument made from guns the the war wouldn't you he said that same argument as climate change people asking why take a chance meaning why take a chance that climate will be catastrophic you know don't take the chance go aggressively against it and here's a perfect example of losers think now do you spot it and see if you can spot it now so the the point he's making is that if there's a good

[6:15]

making is that if there's a good argument why you should own guns just in case that's an oversimplification but it's a it's sort of a just in case in the unlikely event the and the argument really is that the unlikely event the Ennead one is actually far more likely than you imagined so the the article might I tweeted around makes a good mathematical argument that the odds needing that rifle because of a social breakdown actually pretty high if you look over a you know a hundred year period so here's a case you didn't catch it yeah so he's using an analogy so that's one problem right but here's the thing I looked down his profile to find out why his profession is is his profession economist it is not it is musician so this is the pattern that caused me to write the book whenever I

[7:17]

caused me to write the book whenever I would see an argument that it's not a stupid argument and I have I have nothing bad to say about Olivier who made his point those who think is about people have not been exposed to different fields this in this case I'm going to talk about how Olivier was not exposed to economics and maybe engineering and some other things so as a musician he's made this analogy it's like what you have if having the gun is just in case the you know the unlikely chance it's a big problem then why would take the same argument to climb in say well you don't know if it's a big problem but you should treat it like it is here's what the economist knows that the musician doesn't may read e but what the Economist knows is that you have treat a difference a situation of shortage and constraint much differently that would treat a situation to where you have abundance guns are

[8:19]

to where you have abundance guns are abundantly available we don't have a limitation on how many guns we can get not really you're running out of money everybody who wants one can can't get one let's say the criminal record first so for all practical purposes in the United States guns are easy to get and there's no shortage constraint or anything like that you get all you want compare that to climate change where the solutions suggested cost trillions and trillions of dollars do we have limited trillions and trillions of dollars we do not sow in the gun situation of course it makes sense to have a gun in case you need one because it doesn't cost very much and it's a good against the unlikely case of civil disaster but in a case of climate change you have a completely different situation you have constraints that don't exist with the puns everybody can

[9:19]

don't exist with the puns everybody can get a gun pretty much but with climate change you can't spend your trillions of dollars on one thing and still have enough money left over to do other things so the climate change analysis you should compare your risk from climate change to all of your other risks so you can know where your money goes best you don't have to do that analysis with guns because most people can afford a gun without it changing their standard of living but certainly if we reoriented our entire economy to solve climate change we would have less left over in case there's a pandemic in case there's a asteroid heading towards the earth less you know less ability to recover from an emt attack or anyone of you think of a dozen things that you would still need that trillions dollars for and the most obvious one is that if you use your money to keep your economy

[10:19]

you use your money to keep your economy strong that defends against most of the economic impacts of climate change at the long-run it also allows you to build devices that can suck carbon out of the air if you need to move it allows you to build nuclear plants so it's simply having a strong economy and you're not crippled by spending all your trillions of this one won't risk just building your economy gives you all kinds of options so someday ten years from that we say hey we'd really need some co2 now today well we put a trillion dollars at it I then maybe it's only half a trillion because the cost of technology is going down in time they're more efficient and you stuck it directly out of there so that's just one example anyway my point is that loser to think is not about people being dumb it's about this exact situation that I gave you the musician doesn't know what's wrong with this analogy when he

[11:20]

what's wrong with this analogy when he says get a gun just in case well why isn't that just the same with climate change deal with the risk of climate change just case and the difference is shortage don't have a shortage of guns do have a shortage of multi trillion-dollar expenses if you do it once you know how much leftover for anything else alright so that was way too much on that Google is being destroyed by its own awoke miss apparently so apparently the Google employees are very progressive and if Google is involved in anything they don't like they they're very vocal I'm going to make a stink about it one of the things they don't like is kids engages and so and look some of the employees look into it if Google in any way is working with the people who are putting the kid's engages and it turns

[12:20]

putting the kid's engages and it turns out they are terms that Google is Google is one of the vendors who is providing services to the people who are putting kids in cages so the people who work for Google we're unhappy to learn that they worked for a company that was supporting kids and cages now I just had this just one example but I think you can kind of see the writing on the wall here I think Google might destroy itself with good intentions because once you go down that path of let's boycott things that we don't like there's no real end to that now I don't want to say it's a slippery slope I'm just saying that it's something that doesn't have a stop on it so I'd like the word slippery slope because it it makes you think there's something has a quality

[13:21]

think there's something has a quality called slippery as if it's inevitable well you should look at instead this is just see if there's any counter forces this case I don't see one seems like Google is going to have to stop doing business with every entity that has done something that's employees or a subset if its employees are not happy with how many how many of Google's customers are involved in something as some subset of its employees would not support well that's a lot of stuff that's a lot of stuff one of the idiots on Twitter well as you have to be one of my critics and saying that I should stop whining that I lost friends and revenue talking about Trump related stuff because I live in a world in which you know it's fair to

[14:22]

world in which you know it's fair to boycott everybody has a right to buy what they won't or not buy what they want so I should not complain that I lost income or than I lost friends because my opinions that's just the way the world works to which I said hey
or was I complaining show me where I complained I did not complain I stated as a fact I've simply said as the fact I lost X friends lost X in government I have said explicitly that I'm not gonna care about that in the sense that I'm gonna keep doing what I'm doing but here's my larger point the person who says yes it's it's good and it's part of the free system that people can boycott things they don't like to which I say if you pursue that and let's say we make it more of a standard that that's just ordinary the people routinely boycott

[15:24]

ordinary the people routinely boycott companies where people who were involved in any way with stuff they don't like what would that do to civilization it would actually destroy civilization if you couldn't work with deal with sell to buy from people who at least have one opinion or one thing you don't like there will be nothing left now this if you're talking about another country you can absolutely break out another country because we can we can sell and buy to other countries but if you have country that's literally treating you like an enemy and is killing tens of thousands of your citizens oh yeah you can point out that that that's really just war so I'm not opposed to a defensive war if it's a defensive war not opposed to that but other of my critics piled on there was a wired interview wired interview

[16:25]

was a wired interview wired interview with me the Wired magazine in which their headline assigned by prominent editor said that I was arguing for more civility online and people saw me attacking all of my critics online the trolls and they said you stupid hypocrite cartoonist who really does the point here boss because they're not very creative they all l think that they're the first ones who thought of that hey I'm the first one who thought of this idea of comparing the cartoonist who draws a pointy hair boss I got it I got it I'm gonna watch this I'm gonna compare the cartoonist with a character in his cartoon watch this what's this the guard dudas he's like so clever he's like the count the point of hearing boss Oh pat myself on the back Paul nobody thought of that one before wait wait'll he sees us he's gonna is so

[17:27]

wait'll he sees us he's gonna is so clever okay Yuri the millionth troll to say the same damn stupid thing alright if you can't insult me with a little bit of originality I feel disrespect put some work at that into the criticisms alright a little elbow grease do a little research try to try to say something better than he's the pointy-haired boss or that he draws Garfield those are the two things like maybe you should have known somebody who said before anyway my point is the editor assigned it a title up to the interview with me and said that I'm arguing for more civility online and when trolls came in and said how can you argue for civility online when I just see 400 comments yesterday insulting your critics I was that civility do you

[18:27]

your critics I was that civility do you see what happened he had looked to the story said that I'm arguing for more civility online that never happened I never hadn't I never used the word civility if I did it wasn't I don't think I did it's not a word I would typically because that was simply a word assigned by an editor still my critics are criticizing me for something that was just a misleading headline from an editor has nothing to do with me now if you were to read those I think you would say extended description of the fact that something like 60% of the things that people say about me even in well-known publications it was just wrong or it's at a context in this case has had a context what I do in my book and what I talked about in the article

[19:28]

and what I talked about in the article is the 48-hour rule for accepting apologies and the 20-year rule for just ignoring things that people did when they were in high school you know unless it was murdered or something terrible now those two things make the world a better place and they they reduce the temperature but there is never been a time in my life I've ever said we should be civil to trolls terrorists criminals in the act and I don't think you'll ever find anything I've ever said that says we should be civil to I've never said that so most of my critics in fact almost all of them yesterday not all maybe 80% of my critics yes and there were a lot of them came in to argue that the headline that I didn't write and is completely misleading is making me a hypocrite because I said something completely

[20:28]

because I said something completely different in a different context David typical day on Twitter what else we got going here funniest story from yesterday there's some pretty funny lately is that the Trump administration has decided to not give credentials press credentials to Bloomberg anymore which would deny the Bloomberg reporters access to the White House since the president I guess and and of course he's doing it as a response because Bloomberg is running for office and he and Bloomberg the company announced that they would have bought new investigative articles about Bloomberg but they would continue to do it about other people including Trump now what do you do with that now so Trump or his administration I don't know

[21:28]

Trump or his administration I don't know came up with this idea now I didn't see this coming did any of you see this play this was completely invisible to me in retrospect I should have seen it coming but when I saw that announcement that they were going to deny press credentials to Bloomberg you know Bloomberg the company I thought to myself that that's good that is so so good strategically you can make your own decisions about ethics and free speech and all that I don't think our free speech is too affected by one organization in one special case having some limited-access doesn't say anything about the rest of the process this is a special case so I don't think it's a First Amendment situation in any practical sense but as a strategy just as a political strategy you're not going to see much better than that you know I tell you all the time that the the trademark signature moves from

[22:31]

the the trademark signature moves from Trump is that what he sees free money sitting at a table he picks it up this was free money sitting at the table that I I didn't see it did any of you see this coming it was exactly the right play here's why it's exactly the right play what does it make you talk about it makes you talk about whether it's good or bad - did I Bloomberg access because they've announced that they're gonna be unfair does it matter nothing else matters that's it that's the whole play the play is they know you have to talk about it because it's something the president did you know the White House did it matters it involves Bloomberg it's the First Amendment you can't not talk about it and every moment you spend talking about it makes Bloomberg look like it to all even though you know on in one sense you can

[23:31]

though you know on in one sense you can kind of understand how we got here you can understand that realistically Bloomberg wasn't going to you know do hit pieces on their own founder so since Bloomberg was not going to do hit pieces on their own founder because they couldn't you know they get fired it's completely ethical for Bloomberg to say look you know we would never be trusted and we certainly have too much bias and stuff and too much at risk to do honest stories about Mike Bloomberg so the most ethical thing we'll do is we're gonna say we're just out you know we'll just not cover it because we can't do it in a way that would look unbiased that's actually pretty other cool thing to do but the only way that that would be completely ethical as if they also don't talk about the other politicians including truck now we all

[24:34]

politicians including truck now we all realize that the moment it came out that you know if viewed in isolation that's an ethical and I would say responsible thing to do if you're a news organization who knows who knows it's not even a doubt but you know that you can't cover this one individually in a way that even anybody would think was unbiased it's way better to say you're out okay we're just not going to do it because we know we could never be credible on this one topic I actually thought that shown an ethical consideration that I sort of appreciated but when they said they were still gonna come to the president it was like wow wow you are halfway there my friends you were halfway there and the president took them there through the way so we got they got halfway to an ethical place the president just said hey who left this free bunny leg on the

[25:35]

hey who left this free bunny leg on the table seriously seriously it's free money anybody anybody nobody all right free money so he says lube and Bloomberg and all you have to do now we have to talk about it and the more you talk about it the better the worse it is for not only Bloomberg the company but Bluebird in the candidate so as a as a strategy and that was good now for those of you who are new to my periscopes and you're saying to yourself I know what you're saying to yourself I don't need the DOE beard Scott why do you say everything the president does is good and everything everybody else does is bad why do you do that everything you does Orange very good what do you say that scene for those of you who are new I often criticize the president's for example if the president a trade deal with China before they've

[26:36]

a trade deal with China before they've executed that mean fentanyl dealers I'm gonna be seriously pissed off like you've never seen me I think the president could do better or the immigration could do better on health care do better on marijuana legalization tons of things to criticize him about so I criticize the president about a lot of stuff but this play this was a good play I gotta say all right
the President had a couple of good tweets that are funnier than even his funny ones so I think to used to pull today or yesterday he said thank you to great Republican John Kennedy for the job he did in representing both the Republican Party and myself against against like he used the word against because for representing both the

[27:38]

because for representing both the Republican Party and myself against sleepy eyes Chuck Todd on beat the depressed beat the depressed now my understanding is that the President did not come up with that nicknames for the show meet the depressed I think Rush Limbaugh did somebody was suggesting Mark Levin so somebody else came up with that word but the fact that the president used it in a tweet made me laugh heartily because you know now everybody's seen it beat the depressed and it's so perfect because Meet the Press is pretty much complete sadness all the time they're sad about war in Japan bad and if your entire show is we're very sad about words made bad we're very sad May I'm sad when I'm sad or which made bad I'm sad
sad that's the little show so meet the depressed is pretty freaking hilarious

[28:39]

depressed is pretty freaking hilarious so congratulations whoever came up with it
he have another funny one in which in which the president referred to to Mike Bloomberg and I'm terrible at reading my own notes but he oh here's his other paint he goes mini Mike Bloomberg's that I guess that's the kill shot he's testing out mini Mike here's a mini Mike Bloomberg has instructed his third-rate news organization not to investigate him or any Democrat but to go after president Trump only the failing New York Times thinks that is okay because their hatred and bias is so great they can't even secrecy straight it's not okay height before but I think he

[29:50]

not okay height before but I think he was calling a little little biker or whatever but mini Mike is instantly sticky as much as you know what the bully 2 went now we don't want to live in the country where the bully wins but this is sort of a special case because of this case and I'm gonna look at a paraphrase it but this is how I select the way I sought in 2016 president Trump ran to be the bullying chief he ran to be a bully he was just gonna bully people who had it coming he wasn't gonna believe his people he wasn't gonna bully his supporters but he was gonna bully other countries he was gonna believe you know China if he could and and certainly we knew he was gonna bully his political opponents so his voters knowingly completely well-informed about what they were

[30:51]

well-informed about what they were getting purchased through their votes their own bully so in a sense the country hired a bully to bully on our behalf very much like hiring a murderer to kill somebody who needs to be guilt so do I do I support bullying no no no not as a federal thing but we got kind of a special case he was actually hired to be a bully so if you hire somebody to be a bully and then he bullies people who have it coming you know his political opponents whoa ah I don't think you can complain too much if you hire somebody and they do exactly what they were hired to do and they make it humorous at the same time now I feel sorry for Judd Apatow who used to make funny movies and as you know Hollywood

[31:53]

funny movies and as you know Hollywood no longer values funny movies because they're too insulting to somebody there somebody was the butt of the joke and so you can't really make funny movies the way funny movies used to be made so Judd Apatow can't make funny movies but he hates President Trump if you've seen his Twitter feed you know I pretty had President Trump has used Twitter too for all practical purposes create his own funny movies and the reason that trumpet can still be funny is that he's never politically correct so the very thing that Judd Apatow can't do anymore what and here's the funny part why is it that Judd Apatow can't make funny movies anymore it's because of people like capital C or unboundedness Judd Apatow can't make movies in which you made fun

[32:53]

can't make movies in which you made fun of anybody you know which is the old way of making movies because the people like Judd Apatow who would complain about people making fun of people so he and his people that would let's say agree with him in the anti-trump world I've made it impossible for Judd Apatow to funny movies anymore and that he has to fire up his Twitter every day and watch Trump make a funny movie every day it's a small fee in the form of a tweet but Trump is doing John at Patel's job cousin Javed Judd Apatow is Jed Apatow can't do his job because if Judd Apatow did his job make you funny movies he would be boycotted by Judd Apatow honeybell love that I do not love that come on by the way I think Judd Apatow is an amazing talent in his movies are great but it's a funny

[33:54]

movies are great but it's a funny situation is all I'm second at that I've got a new hobby where when I get especially ignorant roles coming at me on Twitter I click on their profile to see if they're musicians unsuccessful writers or they have the hashtag resist because the number of people who come after me on Twitter and have one of those qualities musician who is now successful writer who is not successful order hashtag resist comments are just vile like they're just bleeding in the of their computer so anyway I look at their I always look at the profile of the trolls cuz it's for me to be President Trump was just asked just a few minutes ago when he was doing his press conference with McCrone president but progra somebody in the crowd asked him if the president or the United

[34:56]

him if the president or the United States supports the Iranian protesters I've told you that it's better for the United States to stay and they're right it's better if we're not seemed to be supporting the protesters because that is easier for the regime sighs easy it's the CIA you know it's not about us it's external threat you should rally around us so here's how the president s answers the question do we support you no do we the United States the government doesn't support the Iranian protesters Trump said he didn't want to comment on that but yes I don't want to comment on that right now but yes the answer is that I don't want to comment on it but yes so I think that meant that we support them with our minds I think I think the he didn't say

[35:58]

minds I think I think the he didn't say this but I think this is true speculating here that he was making a distinction between supporting them financially or with you know with out of the CIA were supporting them with weapons or anything like that we're not doing that but do we support them sort of intellectually morally with our wishes and their hopes yeah we do sounds like he has some more clarification on that topic coming up remember a few years ago I predicted that in the first year by the first the end of the first year of the presidency those critics would be saying some version of this okay sure he's effective but we don't like him though the we didn't like you part was partly because he's Republican but partly because his character they would say his personality they would say his mean tweets they would say and I actually I'm running into trolls who

[36:59]

actually I'm running into trolls who will state their selves you know that he's a horrible monster and then I'll ask them okay okay let's let me accept your characterization accepting your characterization that the president is you they always have like five different words in their list he's a racist rapist cognitive criminal no insane or something so they always have like five things and then I asked them okay accepting that that's true does that's your characterization what's going wrong you know what see yeah throw that in there what did it what is wrong what is he broken what what has he done to the country because now it's been three years you would think that all of those bad qualities would start translating it to bad things for the country so I asked that question and I actually had somebody retreat to this point they said that I know darn well

[38:03]

point they said that I know darn well that the real problem is his character and morality so one of his biggest critics actually had retreated all the way from having no no problem at all with his results everything's going well but his character and his morality you know the things you can't measure and so I offered you this deprogramming tip I might do more of this before Christmas I like giving you some things to say the relatives or the anti-trump and deprogram them and let me tell you what I suggested here I'm sure I wrote down here yes so when somebody would one of your relatives comes full anti-trump it goes on a rant here's a fun little thing you can do to deprogram them now you

[39:06]

you can do to deprogram them now you can't really deprogram people in real time they don't change their minds but you're gonna have a lot of fun with this one so this one's fun it goes like this so this is my tweet but you can imagine wording this with your own words so imagine you say to your relative who's the anti trucker who's just giving you the laundry list of all the things that are wrong suppose you said you know Uncle Bob I hear what you're saying but Uncle Bob does it give you a sixth sense end of the movie kind of a feeling when you realize everything that can be measured is trending positive but weirdly everything you can't measure looks like a disaster to you is it does it make you feel like you just saw the ending of The Sixth Sense now the reference to the ending of The Sixth Sense I'm assuming almost all of you

[40:07]

Sense I'm assuming almost all of you seen that movie if you make a reference this is the end The Sixth Sense everybody who's seen the movie and I'm not going to spoil the movie so I'll just assume that you've all seen it but anybody who saw the end of The Sixth Sense knows what the feeling is the feeling is oh crap everything I thought was wrong and you have to reinterpret your history so I take a feeling with the end of the sixth sentence because everybody in the theater had the same feeling yeah at the end they're like Oh everything I thought about this movie was dead wrong dead wrong dead wrong but not the movie too late so here's another way to attack it suppose you sent to your anti-trump relative hey Uncle Bob it's just so we can get on the same page let's do this let's make two lists what is the list of

[41:10]

let's make two lists what is the list of everything that involves the federal government that you could measure things which have statistics things that we can track so that's one less things you can track and it'll be another list of things that are important but they're they're not subject to you can't put a number on it you can't put a statistic you can't really compare it so so the list of things you can't measure it would be the president's character the impact from his failing the fact-checking 11,000 times in a row the morality the lissa the the friendliness of our allies mercies and you so you see where I'm going right you can make a list of all the things that can't be measured but seems important then your second list is all the things you can measure unemployment rate number of our military that are killed mount that other countries are donating

[42:10]

mount that other countries are donating to NATO and the even and by the way you have to fact-check me on this but I believe that because the economy is so strong that more people have health care now than at any time in our history probably both as a number and as a percentage but effect Jack then William I also think in I need a factor to this that the rate of rise of health care costs has leveled off which means they're still rising but they're not rising like this suddenly the Trump administration rising like that and sure enough there are specific things the Trump administration has done it is doing for price transparency allowing you know associations across state lines allowing Florida and other states to buy discounted pharmaceuticals from Canada etc but my point is if you made two of us things you can measure and things you cannot you would discover then on the

[43:12]

cannot you would discover then on the list of things that you can't measure the president is killing it now some people are going to put it on that list some things letter responsibility of the states for example the homelessness the homelessness primarily is something that's unfortunately the states need to deal with and the states are probably making the mistakes that are causing the problem there's not a ton that the federal government could do about that anyway it would be a fun holiday experiment to see if you can trigger in your anti-trump uncle or family members the feeling at the end of the sixth sense where you present to them that everything they have a problem with with the president is stuff you can't measure and everything that you can measure is going well because they should have that once they realize that that's true and

[44:15]

once they realize that that's true and I'm sure they'll find some exceptions but that is basically true let me go let me go chew on that for a while huh is it my imagination that all the things you measure are going wrong all right
somebody else said that another way to deprogram people quickly yeah this is something that somebody else has to their data craft friends he says you realized that the Democratic plan is to give your money to an illegal aliens in the form of free healthcare and apparently that's enough to deprogram people on the spot I haven't tried it so I can't confirm that you can deprogram somebody on the spot but is that an unfair characterization of what at least the more extreme Democrats who are running for office are saying

[45:15]

are running for office are saying because they do want to give free health care to illegal immigrants and they do want to open the border so that as many can come in as what right so the Democrats plan is literally to give your money to to poor people in other countries and not just a little trillions because if you open the border and then you have to pay for health care if everybody who wants to come in how many people would want to come in to get some free health care how about all of them who the hell would stay in Mexico if there were no border restrictions you can get free health care in the United States the entire I want to say this where that was swearing but sometimes you just have to swear so let me give

[46:16]

you just have to swear so let me give you a little heads up there's gonna be an obscene word coming so cover the cover the years of your toddlers who did not go to school cover your own ears you don't want to hear this curse word that's coming up are you ready it's the answer to this question how many people in Mexico would start walking north to cross the border if there were no border restrictions and they could get free health care in the United States every person say you have to you sometimes you just have to use a swear word to make the point all of them they'd all come here why wouldn't they would you stay in Mexico if you could just walk north and having a better life and free health care the day the moment you showed up they'd all come now I think most people understand that so this little

[47:17]

understand that so this little deprogramming thing is that the Democrats by policy is that even a hint there's no hidden agenda here the Democrats say it directly we want to give your plea they you pay taxes to people from other countries it gives the better lives there's a little less explicitly what they're saying I'm not even interpreting they're saying that directly you can forget every other element of politics and just say well I'll just give you this one thing are you okay with that and by the way it probably means less healthcare for you because your money is not infinite all right I've looked at oh yes so we've got the so there's a report coming in the inspector general's report is doing who

[48:19]

inspector general's report is doing who knows that's how we're gonna happen I feel like we've been waiting forever for this you know Horowitz inspectors Inspector General's Pro so there's already leaks so everybody's trying to look at a time to frame it so that when the actual news comes out it will already be pre framed and everybody's lined it will be made up before they actually see the information and so some of the leakers are saying that there's that it suggests that the FBI had every reason to spy on the Trump campaign so that's what the leaks are telling us to expect but then we're also being told that you you assume that these leaks from the the opposite side that attorney general bar is going to disagree with the conclusions based on the same set of facts so I mean so the rumor is leaked is that bar is going to look at it and even if the Inspector

[49:19]

look at it and even if the Inspector General says this is enough to support what the FBI does did the bar is going to look at the same data the same report and say nope don't see it now are either of those rumors true we don't know who knows you know that's how rumors work you know until you know but we'll see it's good persuasion to get people pre framed because that's the data won't matter at all remember I taught you that we the new world we're facts don't matter we're watching in real-time as peoples bides being made of by the leaks the facts won't change anybody's mind or you know just about no money there's a hit article in The New York Times about Harris is that anti Harris or pro Harris I haven't seen it all right how can anyone fathom a crime occurred

[50:21]

how can anyone fathom a crime occurred how can they fathom that there are so many crimes that have occurred that there are kills reasons to impeach this president that's actually what they think there there are countless obvious proven crimes I just don't know of any
somebody's asking Brian is asking you know will I rerecord my book had a failed almost everything still went big in my own voice I'm thinking about it I'm
I'm thinking about doing that for God's debris as well so I've built out my little studio in my house and I need to use it but I'm thinking of just doing a sort of a YouTube reading of my book and gods debris right now it's it's already an audio book misread by a person who's good at doing that so maybe I'll do that and if I did that I would probably just loosen it on a youtube channel and it

[51:24]

loosen it on a youtube channel and it would just be there for free the latest is that it's impeachable the Trump refuses to participate in his own defeat come back you through the studio I can't walk you through the studio because there's a surprise in there but you'll see it eventually all right what about Biden's beloved leg hair yeah I haven't talked about that apparently that video came out 2017 so it's not to do with but if you haven't seen it it's pretty darn entertaining it's Joe Biden babbling about little kids brushing his leg inner eye that's all you need to know that Joe Biden was talking about little kids brushing his leg hair when he was it

[52:24]

brushing his leg hair when he was it when he was shot okay all right so then he bit his wife's finger onstage because he thought it was funny I called him Biden Biden now Joe Biden oh yeah there's Melania and her coat so Melania is showing off the holiday decorations in the White House and the Washington Post comment on it was that her coat looked bad yeah decorations are great but she's got a bad coat and now I looked at the coat it's not a bad it's a really good coke it's an excellent coat so they they just can't say anything under bigger ously good even developable of yeah let me let me put it this way if you're criticizing Melania for not being stylish you're on

[53:26]

Melania for not being stylish you're on really shaky ground because have you ever seen Melania not looking perfectly particular and stylish no you're not not even one time and not this time either so if you're gonna if you could to criticize suddenly on style I would think that the minimal requirement is that you have more style than the person you're criticizing and that is not the case I would love to see her a critic at the Washington Post out in public let's take a photo on any day all right here's your outfit now just randomly let's take a picture of Melania compare their outfits which one's going to be more stylish I rest my case that's all I got for now and I'll talk to you later bye for now
