bum bum bum bum bum bum bum hey everybody come on in it's not for coffee with Scott Adams and you know what that means yes you do it's the best part of the day it's the thing that makes everything better and to participate got dope somebody says good well you're simultaneous it may be different than most of the rest of you if you would like to participate in the simultaneous if that doesn't take much all it takes is a cup or a mug or a glass a tanker cello sir Stein in the canteen jugger flask a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee and join me now for the unparalleled pleasure the dopamine the end of the day the thing makes everything better the simultaneous sip oh ah better every time just when you think I know you probably think to yourself it can't possibly be better every time and then

[1:09]

possibly be better every time and then you do the sip and you think it is every time it gets better well let's talk about all the fun stuff in the news I'm coming up with a term which let's see if I can get this to catch on I call it the Bernie bomb bomb BOEM be as in things that explode and the Bernie bomb works like this and I'm sure you've noticed and it turns out this CNN has now noticed because they did a piece on it they're Republicans and President Trump in particular and Trump supporters in particular seemed to be very Pro Bernie Sanders suspiciously Pro Bernie they seem to say nice things about Bernie's supporters and and about his fight and his consistency and gosh it's so unfair when Bernie gets robbed of the nomination it would sure be a

[2:11]

of the nomination it would sure be a shame if it happened yeah sure would be now of course CNN John Avlon did a little piece I was just watching in which it seems that they have figured out that Bernie would be the worst matchup because socialism is just a terrible matchup for for Trump during a strong economy if the economy were a weak or you know even just somewhere in the middle well maybe people would listen to a new message but when things are unambiguously working well people are not going to take on a big risk so the Bernie bomb works this way and here's the beauty of it the Bernie bomb goes off no matter what so you can try to defuse it but then it'll just go off or you could leave it and then it'll just go off you only have two options with the Bernie bomb and they're both explodey option number one he doesn't he doesn't

[3:13]

option number one he doesn't he doesn't get the nomination despite having the greatest number of votes what happens the Democratic Party is blown apart Bernie Broz defect in at least large enough numbers that the that the Democrats have no chance of winning the presidency and it might rip apart the party with some permanent damage so if Bernie loses because he gets into the you know into the he has the most votes but he doesn't get elected when it actually comes to the convention doesn't get appointed pointed to picked what's the right word for a convention so that's one way the other way is if let's say Bloomberg just beats him fair and square if Bloomberg beats him fair and square meaning that he debates well he buys a lot of ads they just gets more votes and then Bloomberg gets the nomination what happens the Bernie bomb blows up because it will be clear even to Democrats the

[4:15]

it will be clear even to Democrats the Bloomberg literally bought the election what is more opposite of burning than buying an election nothing nothing so if Bloomberg wins fair and square or if he if he gets the nod and some kind of a brokered convention situation the Bernie bomb blows up but what if Bernie gets the nomination then he runs in the general election gets destroyed by Trump and and half of the the Democrats at least the the parts that are Pro Democratic Socialist their entire thing gets discredited that's something they can't win and suddenly the Democrats blow up so there are three ways that the Bernie bomb can blow up and there is no way to defuse it it's already too late it's an undefeatable bomb so I've never seen President Trump in a stronger position to win reelection then then

[5:16]

position to win reelection then then right this moment now you assume the things are gonna change right there's just so many months between now and Election Day we'll have surprises and things you know all kinds of stuff is going to happen so you can't say anything about the moment but at this very moment if nothing changed the president's in the strongest position we've ever seen now interestingly according to a Zogby national poll and I don't really know which polls are credible and which ones are not so help me on that but a Zogby poll put Bloomberg at number two nationally so among the Democrats Bloomberg has already bought his way to the second spot behind Bernie now think about that what does that tell you about the nature of reality so the people who went from not supporting Bloomberg to supporting him and apparently millions of people have made that journey and

[6:18]

of people have made that journey and fairly quickly what has Bloomberg done to earn their votes was it because they learned about his policies no that didn't happen I'll bet there's almost nobody who knows what Bloomberg's policies are I pay attention to the news I couldn't tell you what his policies are I mean in a general I no he's a sort of a centrist Democrat so I can take some guesses but I really know I don't really know what Bloomberg wants to do and I pay attention is it because people saw him debating and he did such a good job now no he hasn't debated yet so what it tells us is that brainwashing works somebody in the comments says advertising works I'm not sure it's advertising when you do it at this scale I would say that advertising is telling people that your product exists and here are some good things about it compared to the competition that would be advertising simply making

[7:18]

that would be advertising simply making somebody aware of your product and maybe put it top of mind and maybe give it a good feel to it I would say that's properly you could call that just advertising but when somebody with 70 billion dollars or whatever it is decides to spend as much as it takes to change people's minds it's not really advertising anymore because because first of all it's not about giving you information that's useful and accurate and compares you to the alternatives it's mostly lies mostly lies and that's what campaigns are campaigns are mostly lies lies of omission lives of context that sort of thing but mostly lies and doesn't matter who it is that's what it is so he actually bought enough brainwashing to make him number two in the Democratic Party now if you're a Democrat how does that feel how does the party that doesn't like income inequality feel

[8:18]

doesn't like income inequality feel about the guy who's one of the richest people buying the election or at least buying the nomination in their party now if he bought the nomination as a Republican I think Democrats would say well see this is exactly what we've been talking about we have a target now you know our target is that damn Republican who bought the election or at least bought the nomination then they'd have a real clear you know a very unambiguous on message on brand hey these Republicans they use their money to buy the election we must stop them with our grassroots movement but what if it's their party who buys the election right in front of the world the one thing I actually appreciate about Bloomberg is that he's not hiding it he's actually just buying the election right in front of us and and there's no there's nothing hidden about it which actually weirdly is the only thing

[9:20]

actually weirdly is the only thing that's making it okay if Bloomberg was hiding any of this we'd all be home wait a minute this looks like a coup because he's stealthily trying to buy the election but because he's doing it right in front of us hiding absolutely nothing we have a slightly different opinion about it because it's so honest and we're looking at him saying that doesn't feel right but he's not violating any laws and he's sort of on our side if you're dead you know if you're some types of Democrats so it's the worst thing you've ever seen in your life a billionaire buying an election may be the worst thing you've ever seen in the United States and still we're all watching the worst thing we've ever seen but because Bloomberg's doing it somewhat honestly I mean you have to appreciate that right it's completely honest I'm gonna buy this thing it's for sale I'm gonna buy it that's the only

[10:21]

sale I'm gonna buy it that's the only reason that's allowed is that he's doing it transparently I have to appreciate that actually there's a story about he's I guess Bloomberg had funded this is separate from the election has nothing to do with the election but it ties in conceptionally apparently he was funding attorneys to handle climate change cases in different Attorney General's offices in other words Bloomberg was paying the salary of people who could optionally be brought in by these Attorney General's they all had the option but they had to choose the option and then he would pay their salary and they would have a new employee who would just work on climate related stuff and I thought to myself that is literally an example of a billionaire buying government you know because the Attorney General's that technically government but it's sort of yeah let's just call the government it's close enough even if the Attorney General is

[11:21]

enough even if the Attorney General is not elected it's close enough or are they Attorney General's in the states are all elected right but the point is that Bloomberg is literally buying democracy but he's doing it in front of us now here's a question for you who's who do you think would be the perfect Bloomberg vice-president pic I know I know what you're thinking you're already thinking ahead well so here's the trick if you're if you're picking a vice president you want to pick somebody who complements you and and fixes some gaps that you have a new brand so if you have some holes that need to be plugged sometimes your vice president could do that for example let's say you needed more support from a certain part of the country you might pick a vice president who represents or as popular in that part of the country to try to get those votes in the case of Bloomberg he's way

[12:21]

votes in the case of Bloomberg he's way too old so that's one of his problems so he would need somebody younger right he's the biggest complaints about him and the things that are starting to define him are coming from the critics so there's only so much Bloomberg can do to define himself the other part of the job of defining him is what his enemies are going to say and as enemies have decided that they're their attack is going to be on race and misogyny and his past comments somebody asked me on well somebody sent me a message yesterday saying why don't I apply the 20 year rule to Bloomberg and say well if he did these things 20 years ago we should just not count them and internally I do so but let me say it externally I don't really care what he did to more than 20 years ago if he did something last year let's put that in the mix but if you did something 20 years ago and it was not only well I don't care I'm not even

[13:23]

only well I don't care I'm not even gonna make the argument that times were different I think that's a weak argument I'm gonna make the stronger argument that we're not the same people we were 20 years ago so I give I give Bloomberg the same pass I would give anybody which is he's not the guy he was 20 years ago but still his critics are going to define him as being that guy and especially the stop-and-frisk stuff so if he's got a woman problem he's got a race problem who fixes that who was young by him Kemal Harris now yeah everybody knew where I was going with that now here's an interesting factoid that I just learned I don't know if this has changed but when Harris was still in the race she was the third best in getting support from African Americans which I didn't know so number one and two were burning and Biden and then the third best was gamla Harris now if assuming

[14:24]

best was gamla Harris now if assuming the Biden isn't going to make it that would make the number one and two maybe Kamla and and maybe Bernie but if Bernie doesn't make it what can Bloomberg do that would get him the most automatic black support and this is important too he's got that stop-and-frisk thing having somebody who was who has Komal Harris's background in law enforcement might maybe that helps a little bit I don't know maybe it hurts I'm not sure about that but anyway now here's another thing if if somebody who is 78 years old I think that's Bloomberg's age right so you should assume you if he won and he served he would be what 80 to 82 in the final year and not really you wouldn't really run for reelection so he'd have to be running for one term but what do

[15:26]

to be running for one term but what do you even make it one term do you think that Mike Bloomberg might plan to run two years and then turn it over to his vice president because do you think that Mike Bloomberg thinks we should have an eighty-year-old president I'm not going to read his mind but I'm just gonna say that blue Berg does seem to be a rational guy all right say what you like about what he's done right or done wrong you know I'm not gonna get into the policies but I would say and you see this in his is switching from Republican to Democrat he's sort of a technocrat meaning he cares about what works more than he cares about party affiliation or anything like that so I had some point I'm just gonna make there but I lost it so talk about something else I found I found a really rough week I wake up at night in screaming pain every night I

[16:26]

night in screaming pain every night I mean just horrible abdominal pain and I don't know what that's about yet so pardon me I'm not doing a lot of sleeping and I'm heavily medicated right now Jeff Bezos put up ten billion dollars to fight climate change so I I put this math quiz on on Twitter see if to see if he can answer the question Jeff Bezos pledged ten billion of his own money to address climate change how much money would Bezos have pledged if Bernie had eliminated income inequality now of course there's no specific answer to that it's just fun to think about but what would the world look like under a Bernie perfect world where you don't have an income inequality well you wouldn't have a Jeff Bezos so you wouldn't have somebody giving ten billion dollars to fight climate change so I asked this question and I thought to myself when I posted it I sure hope no Economist answer this

[17:27]

I sure hope no Economist answer this because then it's going to get complicated it took about ten seconds for an economist to answer it Joshua against a economist I'm familiar with him we've communicated over the years over over Twitter and email and huee he weighs and he says there would be effectively the same as the government the government would have that ten billion in other words if Bernie were president he would tax away all that money the government who have it and then the government could spend it for climate change so I'm thinking damn it my clever little tweet which wasn't meant to be you know to rigorously mathematical has already been debunked by an actual working economist but I'm not done yet no no no just because Joshua is smart and never engages in loser think does not mean I agree with him on all in all cases so here's where's my response I said

[18:27]

so here's where's my response I said partial credit for a correct short-term answer the correct long-term answer is that no one would have any money because income equality would buy it's by definition eliminate all personal incentives to work hard start businesses can't promote it any that just wouldn't be any point to any of it so eventually nobody would have any money so the government wouldn't have it Jeff Bezos wouldn't have it so that so the answer is zero because we would all be a poor agrarian society but here's the good news once the economy of the world is destroyed not much co2 so works out I guess and then Joshua came back with a with a criticism of mine thinking that I changed the game move the goal posts well I didn't do that intentionally but my point is that economists economists tend to debate each other and understand what the other said so when I made my

[19:30]

what the other said so when I made my case Joshua Gans made a perfectly rational you know response to it I made a response to it that I think he also understands he made a response that I understand if he and I you know debated a few more rounds I think we would get to some point where we realized we all agree and that would probably be the end of it so that is the opposite of loser think all right
Bernie has a commercial that he's playing now in which he's claiming in his commercial this is like the the feature point of the commercial is that he's potentially the quote first Jewish American president and then this commercial he evokes and I assume this is I think this is an approved Bernie ad he evokes the fine people hoaxes again the fine people of the most debunked hoaxes in American politics the the the

[20:32]

hoaxes in American politics the the the belief that President Trump called the neo-nazis fine people easily debunked you just have to look at the transcript look at the full video and realize that the part people see is an edited out of context thing is that possible can you edit things and take them out of context and turn something into nothing well let's ask let's ask blue Burke because Bloomberg recently had a piece of video taken out of context in which he said in which he said which he said I wish I know he once claimed during a television appearance this is Bloomberg so here's his quote take it in context so you see how easily this can be done by getting rid of the stuff surrounding it he said that there's quote an enormous cohort of young black and Latino males who quote don't know how to behave in the workplace oh my god is that the most racist thing you've ever heard in your

[21:33]

racist thing you've ever heard in your life oh my god except that the context was apparently he was funding some program directly directly to help people solve this problem doesn't that change you completely if all he's saying is hey it looks like there's some identifiable group of people who quote don't know how to behave in the workplace that's horrible but if you know the context is he's just funded some massive program to help people understand how to integrate into the workplace then you say oh actually that's kind of good right it just completely reverses it so so you can see this all the time it's happened I know maybe it's happened before or five times with Bloomberg alone where his stuff taken out of context reverses it and it happened with the fine people hoax because what the president actually said was the neo-nazis should be condemned totally you said that directly and it was still taken out of context they leave that part out blah blah so here's points Bernie's got this

[22:35]

so here's points Bernie's got this commercial in which he's he's making it a point of his ethnicity now how many times have I told you the thing that Barack Obama did right was not running to be our first black president and that made it perfectly acceptable for everybody who wasn't black to say oh thank god there's somebody who's not making it about race let's just judge him on his qualities he's pretty good and wouldn't we like to get past this and have a black president yes we would we would that's our own personal preference but don't tell us what we need don't tell us we need a black president that's too far let us decide that right so that's what Obama did it was brilliant and it worked what Hillary Clinton did is this at many times she said a woman would be better for president at which point a lot of men said I'm out I'm out you know as soon as you say that your gender is superior you're disqualified

[23:37]

you're disqualified Bernie is trying to make in a an advantage that he would be the first Jewish American president so let me say the same thing I said with Hillary Clinton I'm out I'm out as soon as he makes it about race or ethnicity it's not part of the American experience for me you know as soon as as soon as that's I don't even he didn't say much about it other than he would be but still I don't need that from the candidates I would love to say that about him myself if you let me decide I'd say oh that's cool we got a Jewish American president I'd like to check that backs too if it's up to me I'm
I'm be about it but I don't want to be told to be happy about it do you get the difference that's completely wrong if somebody running for president tells me I should care about his ethnicity I'm out
out so that bothered me but the worst part is that the only thing good about Bernie

[24:37]

is that the only thing good about Bernie was that he seemed somewhat ethical and somewhat genuine but his use of the fine people hoax as his primary attack vehicle in this ad I think puts the lie to all of that so Bernie is now he's he's gone full racist and full liar so everything that you liked about bernie is that well at least he's consistent he doesn't he doesn't get into that identity politics stuff too much compared to the other ones and he at least is playing as straight he doesn't seem to be lying and and now that's all changed yeah somebody says he's always lied but in terms of reputation he had a cleaner reputation I think than other people other politicians so I think now that I'm going to agree with alan dershowitz who said i think it was Sunday night on Joel Pollock's radio program on on the Breitbart radio I

[25:37]

program on on the Breitbart radio I think it was Dershowitz who said that if Bernie Sanders wins the nomination Dershowitz who is a registered Democrat voted for Hillary Clinton it said it might force him to leave the Democratic Party in campaign against a nationwide and I join with Dershowitz in saying that if Bernie gets the nomination I will register Republican and I'll vote for the first time in a while I voted a long time ago but I haven't voted in a long time and I'm not going to be voting for Trump I mean I will vote for Trump but but the point of that would be to vote against Bernie because I think Bernie could legitimately destroy the country in a way that a normal politician even a normal Democrat even a normal Democrat wouldn't destroy the country I don't think there's a chance that Bloomberg would destroy the country and that's the whole reason he's running

[26:38]

and that's the whole reason he's running right he doesn't want to destroy the country so if Bloomberg gets the nomination I'm not gonna vote I'm not going to vote because I'd rather I like to keep that at least a little crumb of Independence maybe that's already gone but Bernie I would consider a national threat he would be a national threat to actually everything you could lose everything with Bernie but you're not going to lose any everything if it's some other Democrat if it's Biden or something you know we won't do as well but you're not going to lose everything
so I'm anti Bernie to the death because he crossed the line for me that the the fine people hoax just just trips my my wire I mean if you're going to be that bad then you just can't be President all right the interesting thing about

[27:40]

all right the interesting thing about Bernie as a candidate is he would be the first candidate who was hated for being trying to say this right because it's confusing he would be the first candidate who was ever hated by let's say racists who just hated him because he was Jewish American so he'd be hated for being Jewish by some portion of the population who are racists but he would also be hated by people who think he's an anti-semite because his his policies and opinions about Israel are not where the most pro-israel people would like it to be so he's the only candidate who could be elected who would be hated for being Jewish and for being anti-jewish what are the odds of that can you ever think of a worse candidate somebody who's hated for by some people the

[28:41]

who's hated for by some people the racists for being Jewish by hated by other people for not being Jewish enough I don't think I don't see there's any way you can win now what's interesting about this is if yeah well I'm not even going to go there so I think Bernie is the weakest candidate but not the most fun candidate the most fun candidate by far would be Bloomberg because the Bloomberg Trump fight would be billionaire on billionaire it would be a fair fight it would be dirty fair and dirty in other words within politics you expect a little bit of dirt so that somehow that seems fair but I think Trump would destroy them both all right let's see what else we get Biden so Biden gets he does a TV interview which is always a mistake for Biden because he's mr. gaffe so they usually try to

[29:41]

he's mr. gaffe so they usually try to keep him away from cameras but he said that white supremacists are very enthusiastic about Trump that's what Biden slips in there and thinking I don't even know a white supremacist like actually have you ever met a white supremacist there are definitely raises there are definitely white nationalists there are definitely neo-nazis well I don't think any of those groups I named think that white people are superior do you is there a white supremacist somewhere in the country in the United States and 2020 who has a television set and they you know they can see a little bit outside of their their hovel or wherever they're living is there anybody who can turn on the TV and say to themselves you know I don't think black people will ever make it in sports and then they turn on the TV and they're like oh okay well apparently black

[30:42]

like oh okay well apparently black people are good at sports but they're never going to make it in the arts and then they turn on the TV like oh okay well it looks like they're really really successful in the arts and music and every form of entertainment so but but you know there you'll never have a black person that'll be President okay Obama was president you know and you can just go down the line like I've never met a white supremacist who thought that that white people are better than other people have you I mean seriously have you ever met anybody I've never even I've never even seen an interview recently now you have to throw in recently because if you go back into our dark American past yeah you'll find every bit of every bit of that but in 2020 could you find me one person who said oh yeah you know this this race is way better than this race on every

[31:43]

way better than this race on every dimension I don't think so I don't think so no Ann Coulter doesn't think that and you're going back to Margaret a singer you have to go back to the past I'm talking 2020 in 2020 I'm gonna make the claim that there's no such thing as an actual white supremacist meaning thinking that one race is superior to others you know in all the important ways I don't think that exists there are just people who have preferences which maybe you wish they didn't have but it's not the Hat anyway so Biden I think he's just lost in the past in some past where there were such things as white supremacists in the in the old-fashioned way that he thinks that it I and I think he's cleverly trying to conflate that term with other terms to add to the bad news I love the effort going on now to force Bernie to disavow his own supporters I don't think it's gonna

[32:44]

supporters I don't think it's gonna happen but I think it was Biden and maybe others who are calling friend to to disavow his Bernie bro supporters who are misogynistic and whatever else they are I just love watching the Democrats tear each other apart alright here's a here's a thought for you you know for a while there were lots of talk about reparations but you haven't heard about it lately right during the early parts of the Democratic primary process you saw some of the Democrats talking about a yeah I would do reparations for slavery and but I haven't heard it lately it feels like it it dropped off the top ten of things that people are talking about but let me just throw out this idea so recently the Trump administration joined with Congress and a bipartisan thing so it's not it's not just a Trump thing but

[33:45]

not it's not just a Trump thing but Trump signed off on it so the administration usually traditionally gets credit even if Congress did most of the work as long as the president says yes at the end the administration tends to get some credit for that even if you think they shouldn't so one of the things that fits in that category is that the president signed a bipartisan bill back in December that will permanently provide more than 250 million a year to the nation's historically black universities along with dozens of other institutions that serve larger shares of minority students now if the government and our Congress decides to put 250 million a year toward primarily black interests and black education in particular higher education and I think the emphasis here is on stem type programs so there's you know there's a real interest to get the

[34:46]

there's a real interest to get the higher paying jobs you know cranked up here so is that not reparations is that not reparations now apparently it's bipartisan so Republicans and Democrats both looked at it and said you know now bad you know the trouble with doing something that's more traditionally reparations meaning you you cut a check like was done with the japanese-americans who are held in internment camps in World War two they just got a check which covered almost nothing compared to what they lost in many cases but that's not really practical with slavery reparations because got all the people who were here when it happened you've you've got yeah what about people were black but they came in after slavery they came from other countries you know there's going to be it would be impossible to just write checks so that's never going to happen but uh if you may recall that I once not

[35:47]

but uh if you may recall that I once not too long ago a few years ago I was writing blogging about where we could do reparations in a way that would make everybody happy which would be funding college for black students with some kind of favoritism and that's what this is so it's a favoritism for black students and other minorities in which they get some favorable funding from the government so that they have high-level institutions now does this does this matter is it enough well I would note that com lares came out of one of those colleges so it's clear that those colleges are producing leaders and I would say this is a really really strong approach to something like reparations so here's the fun part think of the things that Trump has done for for the black community including the opportunity zones I think Tim Scott was kind of in charge of that

[36:48]

Tim Scott was kind of in charge of that or so so there are I may be using the wrong thing special opportunity zones or something but it's basically again it's government funding for disadvantaged areas which are primarily black and minority areas so we have two areas in which the government is very directly funding very large amounts of money to black interests that you could say that's not reparations but I think that's just word thinking because it looks exactly like reparations to me the best you could do since you couldn't write checks to everybody there's no way to do that all right let's talk about something else does it seem to you that Trump is the only one who's who is working on unity well the Democrats are working desperately to divide us just just keep that in mind as you're watching because I just gave some examples where Trump you know and you could throw in prison reform and other things law unemployment rates so President Trump is continuously doing

[37:49]

President Trump is continuously doing things which are obviously designed to bring people together in the United States and the Democrats are obviously doing the opposite they're very obviously doing the opposite all right
the Boy Scouts of America filed for bankruptcy amid a surge in legal costs over his handling of sexual abuse allegations now this story the actual details of the story yeah I'm not interested in I mean they're important and you know they can't be swept under the rug of course but just for our purposes today the actual details of those cases I'm not too interested in here's what I'm interested in incentives work every time you see a situation in which there's a clear incentive to do one thing versus the other you should expect that that's going to make a difference and if you create a national

[38:51]

difference and if you create a national organization which by its nature pairs adult men with otherwise unsupervised young people eventually that organization is going to attract not just good dads and good moms who just want to help out well it's going to attract more than its share of people who say are you kidding that's exactly what I want the people who have bad intentions and just want to have access to children really so every time I see somebody who's a you know a coach for some Youth League or something like that there's always a little bell that goes off of my head which says I hope they just want to help I hope they just want to help but what I use is the shoe salesman analogy and it goes like this and by the way I have no evidence that this is just think you threw my belief is that

[39:54]

just think you threw my belief is that the industry of shoe salesperson has existed for a long time and over time you would expect that it would attract more than its share of people who kinda liked feet and shoes more than the average if you know what I mean so in theory sooner or later most or all male shoe sales people should have a little love of shoes I'm trying to keep this g-rated but you know what I mean right so overtime incentives always work just keep that in mind all right I saw trending on Twitter the name Kenan Thompson and Kenan Thompson is comedian from Saturday live member of the cast for a long time and as soon as I saw it was trending I thought oh no another tragic death of a comedian whose whose left is too young when I click on it it turns out it wasn't any bad news he got the job of

[40:54]

wasn't any bad news he got the job of hosting the White House Correspondents Dinner so congratulations to Kenan Thompson but was funny as I read the comments on the hashtag and it was funny how many people had the same the same first thought people people were clicking on that like crazy to find out oh my god I hope he I hope he's okay and he's okay so how often do you get good news it's like hey Kenan Thompson you know congratulations you got a good job and you're healthy as far as we know did you see the video of the Sanders was giving his speech I guess in Nevada and a young woman came up and grabbed the microphone away from them and then another young woman or two of them were came up and took their tops off and dumped pink colored milk on them because they were protesting dairy the I guess the horrible dairy industry they were protesting and so Sanders when the first young woman tried to grab the microphone way he just let her have it

[41:55]

microphone way he just let her have it and he and he stood back and he let his security do what his security does and they you know they took care of it you know in a reasonable manner professional manner so on one hand you could say oh you know actually Sanders handled that perfectly because he avoided any conflict he got that out of the way and he let the professionals who were there for that purpose the security do the job and then they did it but that's not how it looked unfortunately it looked like a weak weak leader because he just got basically a young woman just pushed him off the stage and took control and he let it happen so logically he did the right thing and I really think he did just getting out of the way but the look didn't serve his purpose as a made him look weak but then he did he made some good jokes about the free entertainment so I think he recovered a

[42:58]

entertainment so I think he recovered a little bit from that and I thought to myself if I were a political operative and let's say let's say I were a political operative who was working for birdie but I was I was the dirty tricks person what would be the best dirty trick that you could pull that looks like it's against Sanders but would work in his favor would it be the suggestion that there might be female nudity at his next rally because I think that would increase his crowd size and we're all just the fact that it made it more interesting it is going to make some people say well that might happen again right so if they can make that happen twice I'm not saying it was a dirty trick it was probably just a real grassroots movement but if it was a dirty trick and they could make it what happened twice in a row by the third time Sanders is going to

[43:58]

by the third time Sanders is going to have a record crowd so I think that would be hilarious all right
I had a couple other things to talk about that I think I'm not going to I'm already in enough trouble so here's an update I think I told you that I've been working with Google their team that handles the YouTube D monetization stuff when these videos go over to the YouTube for replay you can also watch them on periscope for replay but I put them on YouTube as well and they usually get demonetised based on keywords so the algorithm just picks out keywords today's presentation doesn't have a chance of being monetized because has so many bad keywords in it that in the way I presented them there was nothing bad about him I hope I don't think there was anything I said they was even controversial today but it will be d monetized and I'm still working

[44:59]

d monetized and I'm still working through that just so you know somebody says you probably have been quote working with Google ok I don't know what that means he has so the other story that Joel broke on his radio show Breitbart radio with Dershowitz the Dershowitz is apparently going to reveal sometime in the near future based on some I know some legal cases can be filed or whatever that Soros once asked Obama to investigate somebody I think that's the story but I would say that's a wait and see I wouldn't I wouldn't put any weight on that until you see the details because that's either a big deal or no deal and even darshan would said it's not that unusual for people to whisper to presidents and you know say hey you know you don't look into this all right somebody says will Comey

[46:00]

all right somebody says will Comey Brennan and or clapper be indicted I would guess no at this point and the weird thing is I don't know that there will ever be a reason do you I just don't know that we'll ever see a reason that they're not indicted I think it just won't happen so I almost had
had tulsi tulsi gabbard on this periscope yesterday no I almost had her on Friday but I couldn't schedule it because she couldn't do it at this time and I couldn't do it over time so they they did circle back and tried to do that but I couldn't schedule Bloomberg de Blasio ticket no got anything on McCabe so McCabe will not be charged and honestly I don't really understand the differences between one person lying to Congress relying to the FBI I just don't

[47:03]

Congress relying to the FBI I just don't know what makes one illegal and one not
by will I will observe that there doesn't seem to be a standard way that that rule is applied somebody says then what is durham doing well I don't know what Durham is doing I just predict that you're not going to see those guys that you mentioned indicted got lots of questions here
all right what the leveraging Bernie I don't know about that a story all right I think that's all I got for today and I will talk to you tomorrow
