hey everybody don't go away looking for something that you're going to like maybe maybe it goes like this
i've got a theme song and i also uh i always wanted to have some something like a co-host but if you have a co-host then you've got to worry about coordinating with them and are they talking when you want to talk and all those things so instead of having a co-host i just recorded myself complimenting myself that is brilliant
so that's my co-host and of course if i say something that's hilarious normally the co-host would do the uh the

[1:12]

normally the co-host would do the uh the fake laugh but i just recorded my own fake laugh so imagine i say something funny and
then [Laughter]
see so you don't need an actual person i've replaced another human with a robot now i know why you're here and i know you want to have the simultaneous sip before we get to the good stuff and all you need is a copper bugger a glass of tanker chelsea's steiner can't eat jugger flask a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid i like coffee and join me now for the dopamine hit of the day the thing that makes everything better it's called the simultaneous sip and you can enjoy it now go
[Music]

[2:12]

[Music] i don't know about you but i feel that my mouth is becoming like an n95 mask just from having the simultaneous step yeah i am i am that protected from the coronavirus
so here's an interesting thing uh reddit or somebody on reddit did a split screen of
of kamala harris so you can see her before and after her face looked different for reasons that we don't have any confirmation for but i have alleged based on my expert advisors that kamala probably had some cosmetic surgery not probably i'd say something in the 100 range of probability i had some cosmetic surgery and but what was interesting is the reddit did a split screen where they took the left part of her face from you know a few weeks ago

[3:13]

few weeks ago and then they put the right side of her face as it looked in that interview next to it and man it does not look like the same person it really doesn't look like the same person so people were speculating on reddit because it's read it that maybe it was a deep fake maybe it's the first time you've seen a digital reproduction of a politician and it wasn't actually her is that possible
no no it's not it's not possible um let me say this it's possible technically technically they could have done a digital uh deep fake of camellaris that would look a lot more like her prior self than the one that was actually on camera which didn't look like her at all because she's still a bit swollen i think from the surgery it may have some nerves that need to you know reconstruct themselves over time so here's my take the reason that we

[4:16]

so here's my take the reason that we eliminate the option that it was a deep fake what's the one reason that you know it wasn't a deep fake because it wasn't good enough right if you did a deep fake it would look a whole lot like the real person but but because of the surgery she didn't look even close to what she used to look like so you wouldn't do a deep fake that poorly so you can rule out deep fake as one of the options somebody said that it was a body double you can't rule that one out
yeah you want to rule out body double because it's ridiculous but i can't rule that one out i happen to think it's a very low chance it's that and like i said 100 chance really that it was just recovering from surgery and like i said uh i'm definitely not if any of this sounds like i'm making fun of her or that i'm mocking her for that i'm not

[5:17]

or that i'm mocking her for that i'm not because i'm completely in favor of cosmetic surgery but there are good ones that are bad ones and there are ways to handle it and there are ways not to handle it and if i were her i would not have gone on camera that soon but she did and if everything heals up the way it should she's probably going to look great relative to how she looked before and she'll come back ahead possible but i think that the fact that she had the surgery this close to the nomination process sort of suggests maybe she's not the one they picked because i just can't see her doing that interview with her
her post cosmetic surgery face i assume just an assumption i can't see that her advisors would have let her do that unless they just didn't know how to say to her um kamala give it a few weeks you don't look quite right yet

[6:17]

look quite right yet but they should have so it's making me wonder if she's still the number one choice for biden because this would argue against it um but we'll see here's a question i have for you how close are we as a country to having widely available and widely available is important because it's not widely available it doesn't count instant test results for covet 19. i know i've heard of at least one startup that was trying to get that done fairly quickly and thought they were close to it
it but you know that was over a month ago so
so i don't know where that's at so here's the question how can we get to the other side of this without either vaccines or the ability to get a test result right away so you don't go out and reinfect the public for six days while you're waiting for a test um

[7:21]

don't say vaccines never so some of you think the vaccines will never happen and i don't disagree with that i would say i am curious why this one would have a widely effective vaccine when that's not something we've had in the past maybe because we're trying harder i don't know but i've got a real question on that and there's no reporting that i know of showing startups who are close to having some kind of instant test results now that's different from a quick test the test itself is quick getting the results is what makes you wait how interesting is it that the united states has put now some sanctions on some chinese elites in the communist party for their uh abuse of the uyghur muslim minority in china why is it that the the people who ate trump the most well i

[8:21]

the people who ate trump the most well i guess i'm answering my own question but they don't seem to focus on the fact that the united states is actively in that great risk trying to put pressure on china to treat their muslim minority better that feels like a counter narrative to everything that people think about trump but why doesn't anybody really talk about that it's just so obviously opposed to everything that people say about trump what do people say about trump he'll get a he wants a chinese deal for his own personal political reasons no matter what right so that's what they say and they also say he's a big old racist who hates muslims but what we're watching in the news literally today the news is that he's screwing the chinese elites and putting pressure on them because they're abusing their muslim minority it's exactly opposite of everything that the left thinks about him

[9:21]

the left thinks about him but you don't see it reported that way it's just sort of reported factually you don't see it reported in terms of it being counter to the narrative which is the way i would expect it to be reported
so if you missed the uh kanye or shall we call him yay uh drama last night uh i tell ya these social media tools are amazing because kanye was having some personal problems literally with his his family and he was tweeting it in real time and he was he was sending like a tweet a minute there for a while and you'd see it you know five minutes ago four minutes ago three minutes ago and a fresh woman would come in
in so as it was happening the tweets were appearing and it was just sort of amazing that you could look into his life through his eyes as it was happening and i guess what the problem was is that

[10:21]

problem was is that allegedly [Music] kim kardashian was upset about something he said about the children or his behavior in general it's not clear and may or may not have this is the accusation have tried to bring a doctor out to wyoming to bring kanye i don't know to get him away from this or whatever and
it is just so fascinating to watch now can kanye become president i would say no
no after yesterday it looks like a big no um i wouldn't have said that even two days ago actually two days ago i would have said well it's a wild long shot but i wouldn't rule him out because look at the other things he's done there were also long shots so if you're if you're ruling kanye out of anything because it's a long shot

[11:24]

anything because it's a long shot you have to look at the context of his whole life long shots is what he does sort of the other thing he does consistently so i wouldn't have ruled him out until this episode because i think this episode uh reveals that there's some turmoil that would be you know certainly worth considering uh when you're trying to figure out do you do do you want a president who can keep the country calm or do you need a or do you want a president who needs the country to keep him calm so i feel like he took himself out of contention yesterday with this however how many times have we been surprised how many times have we been surprised that something we thought couldn't happen happened so i guess you could never rule kanye out but he does have an album that's dropping and i don't think i've ever seen anybody promote an album better than him

[12:26]

promote an album better than him he is the best album promoter of all time the fact that he's doing this just when his album comes out yeah as somebody's reminding me in the car in the comments that even in his tweets there there's a level of creativity because he said that uh you know he calls himself
and so uh he said that kim tried to bring a kamye
c-a-l-m-y-e kamye to to calm him down instead of a kanye so i thought that was pretty funny anyway so we watch with interest and i think uh i think most of you would join me in wishing that kanye and his family do well uh it looks like they've got some they've got some challenges there but i hope that works out
out um so a week ago i was being ridiculed by the press

[13:28]

i was being ridiculed by the press ridiculed i say nothing new for me of course being ridiculed by the press is sort of my daily situation but uh last week there the the stories and the tweets sounded like this dilbert cartoonist ridiculously claims that republicans will be hunted if biden is elected ridiculous what a nut job republicans being hunted come on scott you dilbert cartoonist crazy guy a little bit of hyperbole don't you think kind of crazy that was last week this week the new york times is trying to kill tucker carlson's family so a lot can change in a week if you're not watching that story so as you know antifa found tucker carlson's prior home just a year ago or whatever it was and they protested while his wife was inside his family and

[14:29]

while his wife was inside his family and scared them uh quite deeply to the point where they moved so tucker carlson actually moved because they found out where his house is and now he is revealed and we have to wait to see the details of this but he's probably right about this that the new york times is preparing a story which will reveal where his new home is now what will happen to tucker carlson's family if the new york times does as tucker alleges reveals where he lives now they might not do it with an address they might do it in some somewhat indirect way that still gets you the same place but if this happens what would be the news value of of doxing tucker carlson and his family and may i remind you that his family doesn't have anything to do with any of this they are not actively participants in anything that anybody is mad at

[15:31]

in anything that anybody is mad at tucker carlson about
and you know you wonder where the line is
is right at what point does a line get crossed and boy this seems like a line getting crossed wow does this seem like a line getting crossed now we don't know yet if they'll cross it because i think the stakes are very high for the new york times uh certainly for the new york times this could be an extinction event and by by that i mean you could imagine the new york times going out of business right i mean things have changed amazingly quickly in the last few months such that it's now easy to imagine almost anything happening in two weeks because things are just changing so quickly so could the new york times actually be going out of business i think if they dox tucker carlson that that would light a fuse which would make that very likely

[16:36]

i don't want to i don't want to suggest what kinds of things might come out of this but let's just say that if tucker carlson's family is targeted by the new york times that will change everything that's not that's not games anymore that would change everything and again i don't want to put into words anything that sounds threatening but i don't need to right i kind of don't need to half of the country would have exactly the same opinion should this happen so i think it's good that the right has put down a marker i will simply uh read to you what rasmussen quoted so rasmussen of rasmussen polls their their twitter account tweeted this to that story in raw national reach and ability to deliver impressions fox news could if they chose to

[17:38]

fox news could if they chose to retaliate talking about the new york times retaliate in an overwhelming fashion against every single new york times doxor including its publisher and perhaps the time for that has arrived oh my god it's the new york times move next move so rasmussen just put it out there i mean they just laid it out there that if this line is crossed you should reasonably expect an aggressive response now what an aggressive response looks like and who is doing the responding unknown unknown but it would be a very aggressive response um and again i i so want to describe what that might look like but i'm not going to because i don't want to i don't want to be whipping up a frenzy when we haven't seen yet what the new york times is actually going to do

[18:40]

york times is actually going to do but if they actually dox tucker carlson's family
there will be an aggressive response what can we all agree on that would you all agree that there will be an aggressive response it will not be words let me say that as clearly as possible the response will not be limited to words i'm not saying that i'm doing anything personally so i'm not making any kind of a threat personally i'm just predicting that this is a line if they cross this line they have to do it knowingly do it with your eyes open it could be an extinction event for the new york times because this is just a line you can't ignore this line it's not something that society can ignore um is it fair to call the press the enemy of the people well look at this story

[19:40]

well look at this story look what they did to scott alexander who was just minding his own business and they doxed him pretty much could have ruined his career for no reason there was no you can actually hear my dog snoring yeah that's snickers story uh anyway at the same time we see that the mccloskeys the pair who were guarding their expensive home with their handgun and rifle apparently they've been charged a number of charges what so they've actually been charged now i'm not a lawyer so i won't weigh in on whether the charges are reasonable or likely to be successful if i had to guess i would say there's no chance that they'll be successful and if they were successful i would if i were the mccloskeys i would want to hurry up this trial to get some kind of a presidential pardon working because if there were if anybody was ever going to get a presidential

[20:42]

was ever going to get a presidential pardon it's the mccloskeys all right honestly if the mccloskeys got prosecuted and trump did not pardon them and by the way is kenny pardon them is that federal charges or is his state if his state he can't do it right so actually i guess i'd have to look into that um
did you hear the story about there was a judge who was assigned to this epstein related deutsche bank case so she was just assigned to the case and then some guy dressed as a fedex deliverer comes to their house and shoots her husband and son the husband will survive the sun did not she was downstairs so she didn't get shot now uh of course you might ask yourself what are the odds that someone who was just assigned a case epstein

[21:43]

just assigned a case epstein related would get shot and then the guy who did the shooting is also dead i think is suicide um so when you first read that you say well here we go again you know galen maxwell is going to be killed in jail and and all that um however once you find out more about the shooter it turns out that he just had a history of
of anti-women problems and he had a problem with this judge it sounds like and so it probably had nothing to do with epstein just a coincidence that's what it looks like
so the president um apparently taking a cue
cue from pundits etc decided to photograph himself and tweet a photograph of himself wearing his mask and he said this we are united in our effort to defeat the invisible china virus and many people say that it is patriotic many people say that is patriotic

[22:45]

many people say that is patriotic to wear a face mask when you can't socially distance there is nobody more patriotic than me your favorite president and then there's a picture of him with his face mask and i'll say it again he looks good in a face mask yeah you i don't think you could say that about everybody but the president actually looks good in a face mask it matches his suit it just uh if he was worried about it looking silly i think that that would be um that would be a worry that you shouldn't worry about because it doesn't look silly at all it looks it looks it looks good it actually looks good there's no other word for it
so how much is the president just responding to public public opinion because there was a lot of public opinion that he should be more more assertive in recommending face masks i don't think this was

[23:45]

masks i don't think this was much of a step in that direction but it's at least making clear that he's pro face mask so that clarity may be useful and at least now nobody can say hey mr president if you had not if you had not acted the way you were then maybe your followers and your supporters would be more likely to wear masks i think this might go a long way to taking that away but or at least the complaint away i don't know if it'll go a long way to making people wear masks but it could be politically smart
apparently trump is considering holding coronavirus updates a few times a week but without the coronavirus task force now i don't know if that's real news or fake news doesn't that sound like fake news that the president's going to hold coronavirus updates but the task force members won't be invited that doesn't even sound real

[24:46]

doesn't even sound real because what would be if you wanted um
yeah if you i'm reading your tweet and i'm
i'm i'm smiling at your at your comment you know who you are um
if uh if you were going to advise president trump to lose the election what would that look like let's say you were really a mole and you were advising the president but you were secretly advising him in a way that he would lose the election so you're not really trying to help you're trying to trick him into doing something that's bad for him what would that look like well if it were me and i wanted the president to lose the election i would ask him to hold coronavirus updates a few times a week and don't invite the experts
i can't see i can't see any possibility that this could go well for him so i

[25:47]

that this could go well for him so i don't know what's going on i think he may be responding to the fact that he's being criticized for not having leadership around the coronavirus now if he were really disciplined
he could pull this off but does he think that he is that disciplined does president trump believe of himself that he could be so disciplined that he would not
not just opine about medical things and maybe make some over claims about the virus wearing itself out etc would he be disciplined enough to do that does he think that of himself we don't know but i got to tell you there's nothing about this that looks right like it's a good idea but on the other hand he almost has to get out there because if it if he's just sort of silent and hanging back while the country is

[26:48]

hanging back while the country is falling apart with coronavirus that will not look like leadership so he has to do something but it looks like he's been tricked into doing the very worst thing which is him riffing about coronavirus without his experts if i were to put in the suggestion maybe kaylee mciney if you wanted to do uh additional uh additional let's say leadership stuff around coronavirus it might be tempting to say kaylee mcani will do those because she is disciplined if you want to pick somebody who's not going to you know leave message and who's going to make a dent and who's going to get the headlines that you want to get it would be her so she's the strongest communicator on the on the team but but of course the president needs to show leadership himself so what's that look like because i it

[27:50]

so what's that look like because i it doesn't make sense for kaylee and the president to be at the same event because she is his you know his uh replacement substitute if you will when he's not talking so i don't know how they're going to pull this off i think it can be done i think it's just really dangerous but it can be done and maybe it needs to be it might be that it's just absolutely necessary now if i were to advise the president which uh i guess you could say everybody in social media is advising the president because he does watch it the the president does and his staff they do monitor social media which they should right to find out what messages work and what matches messages don't work so and get the mood of the room so of course they're watching so in in the sense that all of us are advising the president let me let me do mine i would say that if he were if he stuck to a very

[28:52]

if he were if he stuck to a very limited palette of messages he could do a good job so in other words if he came out and said what he said in the tweet look i know you guys have a different opinion difference of opinion about masks but i think it is patriotic to at least consider your fellow humans consider the whole and i would ask you to consider it a patriotic thing to wear the mask when you can't social distance now should he say that i think he could get away with that but again it would have to be clean and and stick to just the stuff we know if he wanders into the science of masks big mistake if he wanders into the science of the therapies big mistake
but i think it would also be very useful for him to present the argument that the economy is life and death and he hasn't made that

[29:55]

life and death and he hasn't made that case as well as he could and if he reinforced that week after week between now and election day while we're trying to open up but we know there will be deaths there's no there's no way around it there will be deaths if he made his case for the economy equals life and death that's worth making because i don't think that's been made strongly enough so there are some opportunities he could make this work but man it's a risky proposition but when was the last time he when was the last time trump ran away from a risky proposition in terms of him appearing somewhere i don't know i don't think he does and he probably at this point he has to do this
did you hear that the major league baseball is going to have an app that lets the fans who are at home cheer into their phone or their mobile device and the amount of cheering that they're doing at home

[30:56]

doing at home will be translated into some kind of software at the event the live baseball game and then the the speakers at the live baseball game will i believe what they will do is they'll reproduce um artificial cheering but it will be gauged to match what is actually happening at home so you won't hear the voices of the people at home you know if you're the player you're not going to hear any individual voices at home you can hear cheering but it will be gauged to be the same level and timing as the people cheering at home it's pretty good it's pretty good now you remember at the very beginning of the
the uh of the shutdown that that was exactly what i suggested although i think they improved it because what i suggested is that you actually hear the people at home you just sum it up into one thing but i think the way they're doing it probably makes more sense you know just technically and it'll end up about the same

[31:57]

up about the same so good good for them um and look how quickly this happened in just a few months an app was built the entire idea of outdoor outdoor entertainment at a big event have changed i mean this is pretty impressive timing if they get that to work um let's see you know have you seen any photos of downtown portland you know the the media's at least the mainstream media is largely blocking out the stories of this because all trump would have to do to get elected is just show portland like you could just stop everything you know the president could say you know what you know normally i'm not recommending this but just to make a point the the president could say you know normally i talk about lots of different things you know the economy and dealing with china and everything but this election is much simpler it's me versus portland

[32:57]

simpler it's me versus portland portland is what you get if you elect biden that's what you get and then show lots of pictures of portland being basically closed down and and full of graffiti and say that's that's your choice and you don't even have to talk about anything else you don't have to talk about taxes i mean you could just say look at these pictures this is what you're voting for you are guaranteed to get this and a lot more of it i i'll promise you that i'll work against this that'd probably be enough um
let's see before i get myself canceled because i've got a cancellation topic coming up here
i get closer and closer to the rim all right there's a article by the or at least a tweet by the mayo clinic health systems now it's the mayo clinic so there are some trusted medical experts right

[33:59]

trusted medical experts right so this is from the mayo clinic and they say that the n95 masks are not as safe as you might think because the air is filtered as it's coming into the mask that's what they do they filter the air coming in but the person who's wearing the mask when they exhale there's a valve built into it that just lets the exhaling out the valve so mayo clinic is reminding people that that's the case or telling them and saying that that is unfiltered air coming out of the mouth so if that person who's wearing the mask is infected their unfiltered breath is going through the valve and therefore not as safe as you think so that's pretty good information right aren't you glad that they gave you that information because you feel smarter now safer far more informed now you really understand what to do about the masks

[35:03]

i don't want to swear but i think i'll try to hold off it's the mayo clinic so here's what they should have said yes it's true that the n95 desks are primarily for health care professionals and primarily to filter things that are coming into the healthcare professional that part we all agree on let's talk about the exhaling the exhaling we also agree there's a valve involved so when you're inhaling the valve is closed but when you exhale it opens and lets the unfiltered air out of the mask but here's the question that the mayo the mayo clinic doesn't answer it's the one that matters so the question that matters the most by far there's one big question that matters and they don't mention it they don't mention it and here's what matters that unfiltered air that goes through that little valve where does it go because i've looked at the valve

[36:04]

the valve and to me it looks like there's a valve and then there's a barrier and then the air would come out from around the barrier so in other words it doesn't go straight out the valve and shoot at the person you're talking to it goes to the left and the right and up and down isn't that exactly why you're wearing a non n95 mask you're not trying to filter out all of the virus because stuff's coming out the side if it's a regular mask right you're trying to just keep it local the whole point of the person who may or may not have coronavirus and not know about it is to keep that person and their viruses local to them and not project it as far as it might project so the n95 would probably do that if it doesn't do that because this is some kind of a miracle valve which projects things out even though there's a barrier there a plastic barrier which should project it i think i think it projects it down but i'm not positive

[37:05]

it projects it down but i'm not positive about that so leaving out where does the air go and is it important if it stays near the person who exhaled it is just criminally criminally bad information i mean this is just so bad that this is actually in the news and why does a cartoonist have to explain that to you because and by the way nobody's disagreeing with what i said right i don't believe there's anybody disagreeing that that little valve does change the direction of the of the exhaled air and if it doesn't change it in a positive way well they should tell us that they should tell us that if it does change it by keeping it closer to your body they should tell us that why because it's the most important question left out of the whole story boy it's hard not to swear when i say stuff like this it's just hard all right meanwhile over at uh let's get

[38:06]

all right meanwhile over at uh let's get me let's get me canceled i don't think i've done enough to cancel myself yet so let's see if i can get that done so over at fox news they've got some drama there are two separate women who are accusing four at least four male uh celebrities uh over at fox news now you have to separate the two accusers because they're they're very different situations uh one of the accusers has accused i think four different people including ed henry hannity tucker carlson and howard kurtz now if you look at the nature of the accusations you'll say to yourself well i guess all women have to be trusted all women have to be believed except that you look at the accusations and they just don't look

[39:08]

and they just don't look believable
i do believe and it sounds completely believable that if you create a situation with rich male alpha good-looking guys and then you populate it with attractive younger women who dress in a certain way with tight skirts and heels you are guaranteed problems so if you know independent of these accusations which actually sound pretty pretty thin pretty pretty thin uh well let me just come around and say i doubt them we don't know but the accusations from one of the women look completely not credible the one who accused all four of them of bad behavior so i don't know where that will go but fox news looked into it and said nope there's nothing here and apparently they looked into it pretty hard and found nothing there

[40:10]

pretty hard and found nothing there but people are people and you you have to assume that there's a little bit of flirtatiousness that you can't get out of the system i mean you maybe you'd like it to get out of the system but if you create a situation with that many young good-looking healthy people
it's pretty hard to get rid of all the bad behavior then there's the other one so the other one has accused i believe only ed henry of rape but when you read the accusation it really doesn't sound that way now i get it i get it believe all women you have to treat all these things seriously and and so we shall so we'll treat it seriously because it has to be treated seriously but i can tell you my opinion right because there will be a jury involved and you know presumably there'll be some you know probable cause involved etc and if i were on the jury

[41:14]

involved etc and if i were on the jury and i heard this story the way it's been reported i would just shake my head and vote not guilty now of course there'll be lots more evidence coming out but let me give you just one report from it so there are at least two or three occasions where the accuser willingly went and had drinks with ed henry and willingly went to his hotel room according to her those things she did willingly now willingly of course gets into what about the power difference you know is is there really any such thing as willing when there's a power differential those those are good questions i won't deal with that right now but um in one specific part of the allegations they say they went back to his room and they he quote or ripped her clothes off now when you hear that phrase ripped her

[42:15]

now when you hear that phrase ripped her clothes off what does that sound like to you does it sound like it actually ripped in other words does she have a blouse that's sort of ripped does she have any ripped clothes because if if your accusation could be described with normal words such as you know we undressed or something like that um you have to ask yourself if they just put in uh provocative words where if you had gotten rid of the provocative words it wouldn't sound like anything yeah the way it's written um so i would say that neither of these accusations appear credible on the surface with the exception of if the argument has to do with the power imbalance and the assumptions made by the by the the young woman that i would say

[43:16]

by the the young woman that i would say that's that's different than rape very different now that would be a question that would be appropriate for your employer if your employer felt that the power imbalance was creating this bad situation and that you have to fire the person who's maybe taking advantage of the power imbalance that's employer employees employee situation i don't know that that's illegal is it where where where is the line at which you can say okay now that's a crime i don't know where that line is actually if it's just if you're talking about the internal thoughts of people and they're internally thinking that there's pressure but nobody's actually said it and there's actually some attraction between the two people where's where do you draw that line i don't know where that is i have no idea yeah so the the question is whether consent is real in the case where there's a power imbalance or is consent um

[44:20]

or is consent um always coercion just by the nature of the situation well that's a different question but i would note that i don't believe ed henry's accuser is making that kind of accusation uh there's some hint of it but it looks like the accusation is really about forceful rape and i would say that the way the story is told suggests that's not the case
now if later somebody tries to cancel me by saying scott said it didn't happen he doesn't believe women that didn't just happen right you did not witness me saying that that i know what happened because i don't know what happened you don't know what happened i'm not even sure ed henry knows what happened and i mean that don't you think that ed henry is sitting home thinking something like this you know it didn't feel like that was happening when i was there

[45:20]

happening when i was there like i i mean i was there there was no better witness than me i was in the room every single time and it didn't feel like any of these things to me i feel like that's probably what's happening i think he's probably saying so he says scott do you believe biden i would say that the biden accusation is similarly sketchy meaning that if you were to just look at it on its surface you'd probably say that doesn't sound like something that happened so yes i would i would treat them similarly now i will say that when tara reid appeared on interviews she looked completely convincing meaning that you can have a situation where the accuser is completely credible and tara reid is now we haven't seen these two accusers talk in public yet it's completely possible if not probable that if you heard them you would say

[46:21]

that if you heard them you would say okay that sounds pretty credible maybe i don't know so the terror reads situation is different because if you only heard the accusation you'd say that doesn't sound real but if you hear her talking about it she does sound credible which doesn't mean it's true it just means she sounds credible whereas and similarly if you hear the story about the ed henry accuser it doesn't really sound credible but maybe if you hear or tell it in person it would be i don't know that's separate um did do they come across like mary trump yeah mary trump did not come across as credible and i believe the mary trump story is largely just going away does anybody remember mary trump she sold about a million books in the first day
day so she did okay all right

[47:23]

um did eckart believe she was providing a service for a promotion oh that's the accuser so yes did this did the accuser think that she was doing something for a promotion no but she did um she did suggest that being nice to somebody who had some you know some weight at the at the network could be good for her career but that crosses into the territory of but wasn't she sort of using her attractiveness to further her career and that you don't know because that would be an internal thought and nobody has nobody knows what any of these people were thinking so if you're if you're convicting somebody based on what you think they're thinking that's always that's always sketchy
did the left docks me um not i'm kind of hard to dox

[48:24]

not i'm kind of hard to dox because how would you do that i don't know would i care if people came to my home yeah i guess it's a different situation for me because some homes are better armed than others and some people like attention more than other people honestly this is no joke i i often fantasize about an angry mob protesting my house and when i imagine it i'm never afraid i'm just sort of excited thinking i got an angry mob in front of my house this is so cool i i don't know if i could be doxxed because an angry mob in front of my house would just sort of amuse me and i think i would just get more twitter followers i would definitely live stream it so i guess it would be bad for me allegedly i don't know

[49:27]

no i don't want to be doxxed but i also can't imagine it turning out bad for me and that maybe that's a flaw with my personality is that i like attention more than i worry about more than i worry about risk
and by the way if if they'd like to find out what would happen i'd like to find out too let's find out together and by the way i know exactly what i would do if an angry mob came to my house the first thing i do is walk directly into it so the first thing i do is i would leave my house and walk right into the middle of the of the mob now you should not do that but i would do that and the and then once i walked into the middle of the mob and they would be yelling at me and i don't know trying to push me around or whatever i would look at one of them and say who's in charge

[50:27]

who's in charge and then i wouldn't yell i'd just say a quiet to whoever was near me pushing me or whatever they're doing say which one of you guys is in charge who's in charge here can i talk to whoever's in charge and watch what would happen to the group when you ask who's in charge they wouldn't know how to handle it because nobody's in charge or or if somebody is in charge you say okay can i talk to you what's your issue
and just talk it through so there's if the the technique here by the way and again i do not recommend do not recommend that any of you do what i just suggested probably better just to stay in your home that's what i would recommend uh call authorities if you need to but i wouldn't do what i would do the reason it would work in my case is that i know how to change people's frame so if the frame is they're protesting my house

[51:28]

house they will act like they're protesting my house if you walk into the middle of their crowd and ask them who's in charge what is that what is it it's not really a protest anymore because the guy you're protesting just walked into the middle of your crowd and asked if he could talk to you it kind of ruins it like all the fun is gone and then when they start talking to me they'd find out i'm not nearly as crazy as they thought maybe i don't even disagree with them on a lot of stuff and it would just sort of ruin the fun so
so don't do that but there are some few people who would be sufficiently trained to do that let me i'll give you one other good example mike cernovich could do that mike's i don't again i don't recommend it because you know anything could be dangerous but if you actually knew how to handle that situation you could actually just walk into it and diffuse it but there aren't too many people who would have those skills um so i gotta

[52:31]

um so i gotta i gotta admit i would be a little bit excited by it
and again that's probably a personality flaw it's nothing i can be proud of somebody says someone will sucker punch you they might they might that would be the risk wouldn't it
but you know if somebody did suck or punch me i would chase them to the end of the earth
that's one difference between me and other people is that i would definitely find out who it was and i would chase them to the end of the earth it would be my life's mission to make that right
anyway that's it for me i'll talk to you later
