hey everybody come on in today with a little bit less swearing probably a lot less i'm going to try as hard as i can to make this g-rated i'm going to do what i can but it's a political season and it gets harder every day it really does but you know what makes the world easier and better in every possible dimension yeah it's a simultaneous step and you don't need much to participate not much at all all you need is a copper mugner glass attacker jealous time to canteen sugar flask of vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid i like coffee and join me now for the unparalleled pleasure the dopamine hit of the day the thing that makes everything better including the election go
yes i can feel my arm knot coming up well i'd like to thank

[1:17]

coming up well i'd like to thank one of my viewers here gail if you're watching thank you for the excellent pillow which you can see over my back it's quite nice thank you for that well is this the the first election in which you could say the following is true we don't know exactly who we're voting for
for and you might not know on election day have you ever had an election for president in which you you thought maybe you're voting for biden but maybe it's more kamala and maybe somebody else is coming onto the ticket and
and you don't really even know who you're voting for so you don't know when the voting starts because of this mail-in thing it's going to be confusing you won't know when it starts you won't know exactly who's running it's a weird year like that you won't know when the voting will be complete you won't know if the voting will be rigged you won't know if china

[2:18]

rigged you won't know if china or russia influenced the election more than great britain and you don't know anything basically this is the first election in which we don't even have a fighting chance of being credible what happens this will be the first time we've had an election that we know in advance will be questioned has that ever happened before and we also know that no matter who wins the other side will say is rigged there isn't any way to get around that is there can you see any way that you could get around the country believing the result was rigged i can only think of one way there's exactly one way to save the republic two ways if you count if you count the second amendment yeah two ways the first way is for a trump landslide of such proportion

[3:20]

proportion that even if you assumed something went wrong even if you assumed voter suppression even if you assumed russian collusion even if you assumed chinese interference even if you assumed it all it's still obvious who won
what are our chances well at the moment the slaughter meter is just pinned at 100 but things change right there'll be more surprises between now and election day but if things go the way they're going what it looks like is that every few days president trump is going to announce a historic accomplishment that's right it's like today or yesterday so here here is how the matchup went yesterday so yesterday president trump surprisingly announced that the us had brokered a deal and i think people are going to agree that it took a trump to get this done uh

[4:21]

it took a trump to get this done uh he brokered a deal for you know some peace deal between uae and israel and then hinted that there might be several more countries in the region who might want to get on board and you know tease some of them you know coming up now that's a pretty big deal both the washington post and the new york times acknowledged it was in president trump's own words and they both used the same word huge i mean think about it the biggest critics of the president just said that's okay i got nothing that's huge that's huge now so that's what the president did historic seemingly impossible peace deal that might be the beginning of something even bigger let's see what joe biden did well what joe biden did was take the president's current mass policy and

[5:22]

mass policy and reworded it into angry dementia patient language do you know how that goes let me let me do an example here would be a a person saying uh could you pass me a napkin so this would be let's say normal language or trump language hey could you would you mind passing me a napkin oh thank you thank you for the napkin now if you were to reword that into angry dementia patient sort of the the joe biden way that the same thing would turn into oh well where's where where is they where's the napkins no no napkins what's wrong with the leadership there's no napkins here napkins please can somebody give me some napkins
come on come on man give me some napkins so even though the content was the same you you have to reword that so here is uh
uh here's what president trump um his policy unmasks so his policy is that masks are helpful

[6:25]

so his policy is that masks are helpful and you should wear one in situations where you're going to be around other people so he recommends it quite vigorously and then says that it's up to the states all right so that's the trump policy highly recommended when when it makes sense up to the states here's the joe biden angry dementia version of this gotta be mandated mandated but he's the leadership for her whereas the leadership mandated but the states get decided now i'm no constitutional scholar but let me break this down for you in the best lawyer talk i can once both of you president trump and biden have decided that it's up to the states and also decided that they think mass are helpful that's really the end of it because once

[7:25]

that's really the end of it because once you throw in the get the states get to decide on their own
own once you put that in there your opinion of whether they should be mandated isn't really important is it yeah biden thinks they should be mandated how much does that matter turns out it doesn't because the part about the states deciding is the operative part the active ingredient the other stuff is the you know that's the sugar and the stuff that doesn't matter all right so summarizing again the president accomplished an historic agreement that almost nobody would have predicted and it seemed impossible might be the beginning of something tremendous one of the best accomplishments of all time has already his name has already been discussed in terms of the nobel peace prize so that was the president's day yesterday and then joe biden had that

[8:27]

yesterday and then joe biden had that uh angry dementia patient rewording of mask policy so [Music] pretty good pretty good too you know um i think that's what it's going to look like all the way to election day i think you're going to see a lot more of this the president announcing an executive order lowering pharmaceutical costs yeah it's going to be one thing after another until you're so sick of
joe biden's angry dementia talk that it just won't even look like a close decision all right let's talk about this uae deal now i thought i was going to come on this morning and give you this insight and then i read it was in the new york times i think it was
was i read that somebody was on to me almost like they read my material now i'm gonna i'm gonna tell

[9:30]

material now i'm gonna i'm gonna tell you
you what i read from experts who were quoted in the new york times i wish i had it with me i don't have the expert's name but ask yourself if that sounded like me
and it was this that the president had to manage to create an asset out of nothing with you know netanyahu and israel that collectively they had created an asset and of nothing and the asset was well israel has made an offer to the palestinians to divide up the land a certain way palestinians rejected it completely so that israel said well we don't really need your approval so
so israel said all right if you don't want to work on a deal or negotiate you don't need to we'll just take the land we said we're going to take we'll just annex it so see you later anytime you want to talk we'll be here but we're just going to take this land that's the end of it no peace deal is necessary i mean it would be great

[10:30]

would be great it'd be great to have a peace deal but it's not necessary now it works best if you've created a pattern and here's the pattern that israel with the united states especially had created and it looks like this can we move that embassy to jerusalem no no it's impossible don't do it there'll be war in the middle east don't do it oh you did it okay there was some protests it wasn't as bad as we thought okay but don't do anything else because you're really really pushing it now
now so how about that golan heights we'll just we'll just make that part of israel everybody said no no don't do that don't do that you did the embassy thing you can't go that far that's way too far don't do it worked out fine no problem how about uh gosh if you knew where hezbollah was keeping

[11:30]

keeping their weapons and stuff you couldn't just blow them up wherever they are i don't know that that's happening but a lot of hezbollah ass that seemed to be blowing up lately what doesn't seem to be a problem you know you certainly couldn't kill the top iranian general who was behind all the terrorism in the middle east or at least most of it you couldn't just kill him i mean he's like the top guy in iran if you think about it the guy who owns the guns is really the top guy he can't just assassinate their top general but then we did and then we waited for the
the end of the world and there were protests and some rockets fired but people were hurt tragically but it wasn't the end of the world so now that you've created this pattern and what is the pattern the pattern is we're going to take whatever we want because you're not going to negotiate

[12:31]

because you're not going to negotiate anyway and we're never going to stop how many times have i told you that what it doesn't matter where you are it matters where everybody thinks you're going if it looks like you're moving somewhere that gets people's attention it doesn't matter where you are matters where you're going and so israel in the united states had created this very clear pattern of where they were going is they were going to take what they wanted we're just going to take what we wanted because the other the collectively the other side if you will anybody who would be opposing any of these things it's you know different people at different places but none of them were powerful enough to stop it it was just going to be one thing after another just rolling it up until it was just a de facto israel got everything they wanted so that creates the opportunity for somebody like the uh uae to say all right we will maybe we'll do a peace deal but you got to give us

[13:33]

do a peace deal but you got to give us something it's got to look like we got something important and so what does israel and the united states offer them the thing that didn't exist they actually created an asset out of nothing which is the intention to take this territory and annex it completely instead of just controlling it they were going to annex it but that was conceptual it was in the future maybe it wouldn't have happened i don't know and so they gave up the thing that didn't exist how many times have i told you that president trump's it's almost a signature uh negotiating style he'll create an asset mentally and then use that mental asset to negotiate with when you see it you know that's a like if that's straight out of the trump playbook create an imaginary asset and then trade it for something that's real and that's just what they did now if you if you just heard me saying it

[14:34]

if you just heard me saying it it wouldn't mean as much but um you know like i said people actually know what they're talking about said the same thing but does that sound like me talking about creating an imaginary asset and picking up their free money because it was free money now you've also heard me talk about the fake because the fake because is in the sort of the persuasion domain it means that somebody wants to do something anyway but they need a reason because people make up their minds before they give you reasons or even before they know reasons sometimes but in the case of the middle east don't you think the uae wanted a deal they probably wanted to deal it looks like they've been talking to israel for 10 years privately so probably they just wanted a deal but could the uae have just said hey you know what we're we just want a deal so you know you guys do what you want but we're going to make a deal with israel

[15:35]

we're going to make a deal with israel how would that look it would look weak wouldn't it because it would look like they just said all right we'll give you what you want we'll give you a peace deal but instead the uae gets to use the fake because they get to say this wasn't for nothing look what we did we stopped annexation of the these lands that are in dispute with the palestinians in israel that's big we're like a leader in the middle east now because we've done one of the most important things there's nobody else in the middle east who got israel to concede something like that recently right so the uae gets this fake because to do the thing that they wanted to do anyway what did the uae get not not really anything they you know this fake asset was generated and they accepted the fake asset which they can claim credit for somebody says biden took credit i don't think that happened but maybe you did

[16:36]

you did so uh what would you say now about president trump's deal-making ability and then on top of that what would you say about jared kushner's ability to uh to implement it's looking pretty good isn't it it's looking pretty good and you have to see the whole uh the whole middle east as a whole package to see how brilliant this was all set up you've heard trump use the phrase in the art of the deal and other times about setting the table the idea is that by the time you get to the negotiation if you've done everything else right the negotiation is almost done so in other words you can you can be done with the negotiation before you start if you set the table so well that it cannot only go one way right you've created a situation where you know where it's going to go now you just have to get in the same room and say all right what's the deal there it is it was the only way it could have gone

[17:37]

it was the only way it could have gone and what and the biggest part of this i would say is pulling out of the the iran deal which now looks pretty smart doesn't it now
now a lot of people thought it was smart on day one i i was more in the camp of what the hell do i know you know i would love to say i'm so smart that i could tell the difference between it's a good thing to get out of the iran deal or it's a good thing to stay in if you think you're smart enough to know the difference congratulations i'm definitely not smart enough to know with all the variables in play and the psychology and the different countries and the histories and who knows what's coming in the future i'm not so sure i could have known what was the better path and maybe we still don't because it could be surprises but as of today's perspective looking at you know what we're seeing right now it looks like pulling out of the iran deal possibly one of the most baller

[18:40]

possibly one of the most baller leader successful smarter things any leader ever did i mean it's starting to look that way it's not the end of the game and you know i wasn't really pounding any drums about getting out of that deal or staying in that deal because it's just sort of a little bit above my pay grade a little bit just slightly above my pay rate so i was sort of an observer on that but when you see the this piece deal and you see others looking in line you have to say to yourself what is the environment which would cause that and the environment which would cause it as iran is off the table as as a power i think trump just took iran out of the equation in terms of the other countries worrying about whether iran would get mad at them for making a deal because i don't know enough about the area to know the the region to know if this is a thing but i think it's a thing maybe somebody who knows work and correct me

[19:40]

somebody who knows work and correct me wouldn't each country in the area under normal let's say five years ago situation wouldn't they be a little worried about iran and maybe iran doing something bad to them if they made a deal with israel is that a thing i don't know if that's a thing but it feels like it would be but at the moment nobody's afraid of israel i'm sorry nobody's afraid of iran in the way they might have been even a few years ago because they're so weakened and it looks like iran might just fall so in the middle east do do leaders follow power does power and winning get you something in other words if you created a history of winning which israel and the united states have done together does that change minds because everybody wants to be in the winning team right and now it's kind of obvious who the winning team is it's not iran iran is not the winning team over there

[20:40]

team over there and now i think everybody sees that
so i mean when when the united states took out their top general and and got a weak to nothing response and that kind of really just opened up the uh up the options didn't it all right so i'm going to say that this is one of the greatest presidential achievements so far and very cleverly done very skillfully i mean this is just sort of a plus material it's hard to find something wrong with this but i know that uh i know that some of the most ridiculous anti-trumpers are finding something wrong with it but it's not even worth repeating their their arguments are so stupid that i'm not even going to talk about them they they don't even rise to the level of being conversation worthy all right jumping around here a little bit so biden and harris uh they did their little announcement about the masks and they didn't take questions they

[21:42]

and they didn't take questions they didn't take questions now how much longer are they going to be able to get away with that i mean really did you know as other people have noted why change strategy if it's working well let me tell you why you should change the strategy if it's working the the the strategy that you use early in a campaign isn't necessarily the one that's going to work a month before the election if it's a month before the election and you still haven't heard from from biden or uh comelet in terms of answering questions i don't know how they could possibly get elected right so yeah it might make sense to stay away from the public for a while but that's not really a sustainable strategy if you talk about say one or two months before the election when people get serious anyway i guess most people don't get serious until sort of you know september-ish

[22:48]

so they don't really have a strategy yet because the one they're using can't work in the last two months and the other possibility where they actually do take questions well that would be the end of their campaign wouldn't it you know kamala harris could take questions fine but buy it it's going to look bad uh brain dead biden
so what else we got going on here uh oh we have birtherism too now so this is how the fake news has spun this uh i've always i always tell you that trump will always leave his options open it's it's just a signature thing he does and by the way you should learn from it if there's one trump trait which you should take with you and say oh that actually i just want that to be part of what i do from now on it would be this keeping his options open thing you know it's like uh what are you going to do with this country are you going to bomb them keep

[23:50]

country are you going to bomb them keep my options open uh what are you going to do about this i'll tell you later always keep the options open so when he was asked about the this question of whether layers is eligible uh for the presidency because apparently your parents were born in you know two different countries but they uh kamala was born in oakland so according to the constitution it's fairly unambiguous if you're born in this country that's the end of the conversation are you eligible for the presidency you are a certain age you are born in this country there are no further questions your honor but in the legal world there is always somebody who can make an argument about anything so apparently there's some arcane argument about whether birthright citizenship is really in the constitution or if you know so uh but i don't think that is uh credible

[24:52]

but i don't think that is uh credible enough an argument that it's anything to worry about however when trump was asked about it did he say she is definitely not eligible no he didn't say that when uh
now who is it who thinks it would be funny to say scott is wrong in all caps now if you're somebody who knows that i block you for saying that but you think it would be funny to say it because you know that i know you're kidding it didn't work because i just i'm gonna block you so i hope you're not a fan trying to be clever because you just disappeared all right i remind anybody who's new you can always give reasons you can always disagree with me that's invited but if you just say you're wrong then i block you you're going forever

[25:53]

so trump says that uh that he has basically hasn't looked into it so he doesn't have an opinion on it so he leaves his options open what he always does he always leaves his options open so now so leaving his options open turns into it's birtherism too he's a racist and a sexist none of that happened none of that happened so it's just completely fake news yeah like we're used to seeing all right now i do think it would be useful for trump to dismiss that because it's not going to help him but it could hurt him so i think it would it would be to his advantage since he has so many overwhelming advantages over this team to not not start a fight that he can't win that would be that would be bad strategy and he's rarely do you see us bad strategy that's very rare um if ever i don't know um so i think he should just let that one

[26:54]

so i think he should just let that one go next time he's asked i would say you know i don't think that's the thing i'm not going to worry about it i would just say just dismiss it say i'm no legal expert but i'm just not going to treat that as a thing you know we'll beat them in the regular way it doesn't matter
somebody's asking in the comments if i if i killed my auntie anti-fog neighbor
well i think it's the t it's a teenager it's not uh i don't know how old but you know 18 ish or so looks like a teen
and uh you don't worry about that i'll take care of that don't you worry all right and uh
so all right here's a funny thing so andres uh backhouse i mentioned him a lot
lot one of my favorite uh twitter friends

[27:56]

one of my favorite uh twitter friends and uh he always has a good analysis of anything that's logical phd in economics and here was a comment that i thought was really clever he tweeted yesterday the biden campaign must be running a loyalty check on the media virtually every u.s journalist knows by now that the way biden tells what happened in charlottesville is incorrect the so-called fine people hoax so the campaign can learn who among them in other words who among the press is willing to dump the truth in favor of supporting biden and i thought well that is what's happening now i don't know if that's their plan but
but the actual outcome is that the democrats can learn which members of the press are completely uninterested in the truth and will just back the team no matter what they say and i thought to myself that does exactly that you know who knows what their intentions were

[28:56]

their intentions were but that's the outcome the outcome is that anybody who allowed biden's statement to stand which they know to be false and really really importantly false this isn't like other political lies this is a lie that can
can cause and might cause an actual physical violent revolution in this country the day after election so i would say that biden by repeating this lie and his um i would say nazi supporters in the press basically it's a nazi-like situation i think i think this is one of those very few situations where the analogy fits because the um the the the fine people hoax the point of it is to demonize white trump supporters that's the whole point of it so what country demonizes an ethnic you know identifiable ethnic

[29:57]

an ethnic you know identifiable ethnic group nazi germany so but what biden is doing is setting up trump supporters for violence that's what hitler did now is that too strong because when people make hitler analogies it's just automatically disqualifying for you to be a you know talking in public really because it's you know everything's a nazi analogy everything's hitler but in this very narrow sense of a of a leader of a country who's identifying a certain other segment of the country and is specifically calling them out to be unworthy of good treatment i mean that's what the whole point of it is that anybody who supported trump because of this alleged thing that didn't actually happen that therefore the supporters are not worthy of the same kind of respect and treatment as citizens as

[30:59]

respect and treatment as citizens as somebody else would be that is hitler that's not similar to hitler that's pretty right on the nose right now could that turn into something worse than words well one of the policies that kabul harris has has promoted is gun confiscation in the form of a buyback but what's the point of a buyback if you're not going to enforce it so imagine a uh a and effectively the president kamal harris imagine that they get congress so if they get congress and they pack the supreme court and kamala harris is the effective president or or even if she isn't could they confiscate guns and the answer is they kind of could they kind of could

[31:59]

they kind of could they kind of could now i don't i wouldn't put you know some kind of statistical odds of that happening but could you rule it out you really can't i want to i mean i really want to now what would happen if our legally or maybe sketchily elected because nobody's going to trust the election no matter who wins what would happen if we have a non-credible election and then the non-credibly elected president who was not even the top of the ticket kamla harris who was not even popular in her own party until she became the president hypothetically and then she she goes to take away the guns of mostly republicans how would that go down
pretty much the way you think it would right that would actually be a violent civil war i don't think anybody can doubt that at this point

[33:01]

and while nobody promotes violence and so i won't promote it i'm not going to be a cheerleader for violence it is nonetheless predictable so you can predict violence i think that's not promoting it i think that's fair right and i would predict that if anybody tries to violate the second amendment it's only going to go one way it's only going to go one way and if you want to have republican presidents forever try to take away the guns you will get republicans presidents forever and not necessarily through an election if you know what i mean at that point it would almost become an a patriotic duty to shall we say resist and i think resist would be the wrong word because resist sounds a little defensive and this would not be a defensive situation the people with the second amendment rights would probably converge on washington dc

[34:02]

washington dc you would probably see a massive mobilization of citizens driving directly into the capitol now of course there would be you know massive military protection and all of those military people would have families in the united states they would be presumably at least a little bit pro-gun because they'd have one with them it's hard to be in the military and be anti-gun i would think must be a few but so what would happen when three million armed americans pull up in their cars and pick up trucks and say to the line of military hey guys pick a side because it's going down what would the military say when the citizens came up to them and said last thing we want to do is hurry you guys because we're on your side but now you have to pick a side where you

[35:04]

now you have to pick a side where you know take your time it doesn't have to happen today but we're going to be here tomorrow and tomorrow we're going to ask you again which side you're on are you on the side of the constitution or on are you on the side of the dictator who is taking away our guns because we're not going to leave and we're not going to we're not going to take no for an answer so you just have to decide which side you're on what do you think what side do you think the military would be on
i don't know the military are patriots would patriots side with a dictator to overthrow the government and take away your guns good luck with that that's why dictators usually have private armies if you don't have your own revolutionary guard or private army where you're you're bribing a certain subset of the military to have you know they've got extra stuff compared to other people so they're more

[36:05]

compared to other people so they're more loyal to you because if somebody else takes over they might lose their extra stuff we don't have that we just have people in the military because they wanted to be in the military because guess what they're patriots they're patriots right the patriots know so much about taking your guns away so good luck with that kamala harris should you try to take guns away that would be the end of democrats forever because i don't think republicans would ever allow and when i say allow i mean at gunpoint i mean by force would never allow it to happen again if if it ever got close to something like a gun confiscation at the federal level republicans would end
end the democratic rule forever they would because they have the power they have the guns and and i think the military would back that view so i think that would be the end of

[37:06]

so i think that would be the end of democrats forever i don't know i'm not talking about dad i'm talking about as a as a political power that would be the end of it yeah but it wouldn't be easy so how about those reparations uh i was asked even today uh whether i wanted to continue the talk about reparations for slavery um with somebody who is smart and had a good argument about reparations to which i said um reparations are already paid i don't know what you're looking at but i just watched the destruction of several major cities in the united states and reparations are over i was on the side of hey let's talk about this there might be some way we could work something out where where everybody's gets better off and i thought you know don't rule it out it might be something we can do here so let's and i've written about it

[38:07]

let's and i've written about it i've written about it favorably in terms of yeah maybe there's something you could do here but not at this point at this point it would be freaking crazy because the black community has claimed their reparations even black lives matter called the eluding reparations they called it that that's not even me black lives matter called the looting a form of reparations to which i say i agree you know i i take yes for an answer and that was your reparations so that conversation that's never going to happen again all right the the reparations conversation if there's anybody in the black community who's wondering hey maybe we can circle back to that don't bother don't bother circling back that conversation is as dead as joe biden's brain that's pretty damn dead however that said if the black community would like to stop uh being completely hypnotized by

[39:10]

stop uh being completely hypnotized by bad people and would like to work on their highest priority which would be getting education right which means getting rid of the school uni
uni the teachers unions because that's the problem with education if they want to do that i'm all in so it's not that i don't want to do work that would help the black community i'm all about that for for years that's you know been a primary interest because i've always said if you help the people who are in the deepest hole that also helps you know the whole country the most so taking somebody from no job to a job is a big deal taking somebody from not educated enough to educated enough is a really big deal so most of your big gains can happen in that same segment of the world and i usually describe it as the
the the people who you know don't have money basically because it ends up being you know skewed by race but you don't have to make it that way you can just say how do we help all the people who are in

[40:11]

how do we help all the people who are in a bad situation and then it ends up being good for black people a little bit more than other people because they were in a deeper hole so i'm all in favor of that and willing to put work into that but reparations no no that's not even a conversation that we can have anymore that's done and you can thank black lives matter for that for ruining your brand and making everything a little bit harder by focusing on the wrong stuff the wrong stuff meaning that in terms of your priorities the police harassment problem i'll accept as completely real if you'll accept it's also the smallest problem for you know for most people it's a big problem if it happens to you but it's the smallest problem for the community all right i had quite annoyingly been annoyingly to you i think defending bill gates on his many thoughts about the pandemic

[41:12]

on his many thoughts about the pandemic and about vaccines and everything else i'm reversing that as of yesterday so here's the reversal so i just saw an interview uh article in which bill gates was asked about hydroxychloroquine and he dismissed it because of the bad side effects the bad side effects of hydroxychloroquine now i don't know how you could be a public intellectual and literally one of the smartest people in the country which bill gates is by the way if you've never seen a biography or anything of bill gates you need to watch one because if you think he's just a smart guy
guy that's not what's going on bill gates is not like a normal smart person he's like almost another species like his brain you know comparing you know our brains

[42:12]

you know comparing you know our brains you know i think i'm pretty smart relatively speaking but i'm not anywhere near the bill gates brain power level he's like another species you know even compared to just ordinary smart people he's another species so if you don't know that and you just think he's a smart guy who got lucky and started a company right place in the right time you're missing the whole thing he is not like other people like really not like other people that said how could he be unaware when all of you are aware that the hydroxychloroquine side effects are non-existent now of course there are no
no absolutes of course it does exist but it's so tiny the drugs been used for 65 years it's only those trials where they overdosed people who were near death that something bad happened if you're giving these tiny doses to people who have mild symptoms basically the risk is zero now are you

[43:13]

basically the risk is zero now are you telling me that bill gates doesn't know that seriously as of today you're telling me that bill gates doesn't know that the hydroxychloroquine side effects are somewhere between trivial and none really really he doesn't know that not a freaking chance there's not a chance he doesn't know that i mean i suppose only in the extreme case of anything is possible but no and for him to say that in public like it was true suggests there's uh i'm gonna just put this in quotes something going on now i didn't want to buy into the bill gates is in it for the money and i still don't he's not in it for the money that's like the most ridiculous thing of all time he's literally working full-time to give his money away he's the last person who's in it for the

[44:13]

he's the last person who's in it for the money so anybody who thinks uh he's got he's got this company making a vaccine uh
uh and so he's you know just wants them to make money no no now maybe he has an opinion about wait the way things should go and doesn't think hydroxychloroquine is enough it has to be a vaccination doesn't want us to think you know we can get away without a vaccination it could have to do with the psychology of whether you get the vaccination when it's available maybe could be one of those things i i do believe that he has good intentions so that part i'm not doubting whatsoever so let me say that again i'm positive he has good intentions you know people saying he's a huge eugenicist but that's anybody who's in favor of birth control basically um but having said this about hydroxychloroquine i now have to reject him
him as being honest on this topic yeah and once you've rejected him as

[45:14]

yeah and once you've rejected him as being honest anything else is you know up for grabs right
oh god my sense of smell is coming back i think i can smell my coffee i had a sinus operation and i think i can smell again god it's a good feeling turns out not everything smells good though so it's a bad thing a lot of talk about uh harris being a hypocrite meaning that when she was running in the primaries she called joe biden basically sort of a racist for some of the things he did but now she doesn't think those things likewise there will be a number of things that maybe biden has a policy that's different from hers then she will immediately back off on that so how much should we care that harris will be considered a hypocrite and that for the whatever policy she comes to embrace

[46:16]

the whatever policy she comes to embrace as a candidate now will be different than maybe a lifetime of things she said before how much does that matter here's the answer not at all not at all you'd like that to matter wouldn't you wouldn't you like it to matter that a politician said no you cannot do this on tuesday and then on wednesday they say this is the best idea in the world yeah this is totally good yeah forget what i said before this is totally good how much does that matter to voters and the answer is not at all not even a little bit in the in the context of a vice presidency the job is to agree with the boss and we all understand that right there's nobody who doesn't understand that the job description is to agree with the boss in this case the boss might be you know the operatives behind biden but nobody's going to care about any of the hypocrisy stuff so anything that you say about that is

[47:18]

anything that you say about that is interesting but not persuasive it won't change any votes
here's interesting thing there was a survey of uh the tech companies from netflix through apple through google amazon all the tech companies and they looked at their political donations you would not be surprised to hear that 99.6 of employee political donations at netflix went to democrats 99 at twitter 98 at apple so what's your conclusion from that is your conclusion that uh nearly a hundred percent of employees at the tech companies are democrat is that your conclusion well that might be one interpretation can you think of any other reason why all of the donations which can be

[48:20]

all of the donations which can be discovered by third parties that's the nature of these donations i guess you can tell who donated to in what way so is that the only explanation why all the people who made a public donation donated democrat huh is that the only explanation is that they're all democrats yeah that's one explanation let me suggest a second explanation anybody who works oh can i can i be allowed one swear word okay can i see a show of hands uh this will be brief but i kind of wasn't expecting this
so cover the years of your children that this will just be brief all right i hope you're all ready now for this if 99 of the people who knew

[49:23]

if 99 of the people who knew that their donation could be discovered only only democrat they only donated to democrats the other possibility is that the republicans who work or the conservatives who work in silicon valley and i'm just going to put that out there are not what's the phrase idiots
how about the people who support president trump but also work in silicon valley are smart enough to know that their donations are discoverable because blah blah database don't you think that the republicans and conservatives who support trump are simply not going to do something that publicly flags them as a trump supporter so do you believe this 99 of donators are republican i'm sorry our democrat well i believe that's how it turned out but if you believe that there are not at least i don't know 10 or 20 percent of uh

[50:27]

i don't know 10 or 20 percent of uh of the silicon valley is trump supporters if you believe they're not there you are very wrong because guess what happens when you're the dilbert guy and you say anything good about trump do you know what happens you are contacted privately by a lot of people in silicon valley who say
say some version of this i'm in deep hiding but i'm glad you're not do you know how many people have told me that some version of never mention my name but i agree with what you're saying do you know how many people watch this periscope in silicon valley there's a few you might not know it there's a few some of them have done well let's let's just put it that way
so i wouldn't believe that statistic you know it's 2020 so you shouldn't believe any statistic or anything about anything all our data

[51:28]

or anything about anything all our data is wrong in 2020. um i am freaking out because the new doctor that president trump has brought on board for the chronovirus stuff his name sounds too much like mine and it's bugging me because every time the president says
this i perk up i'm like just go what he goes yeah i got this new expert his name is scada and i'm like what bliss oh that's not me but it was even freakier uh the the other day i was listening to the president and he just brought on dr scott atlas to be an advisor and he refers to him by his first name scott so i'm just watching you know i'm just watching the president and i'm doing some other stuff and he's doing his press conference and he's like and so you know don't you think that's right scott and i was like what just happened

[52:31]

and i was like what just happened i thought i was just watching the press conference but i think the president just called me by my first name oh oh dr scott alice okay so i'm just saying it's it's freaking me out so cnn did a uh a little hip piece monologue by one of their uh one of their people i didn't recognize and they really went after dr scott alice but here's the thing it was somebody who did not have a medical degree somebody who was not a scientist somebody who was just as far as i can tell a journalist now a journalist decided to go on television and explain to the public why a trained professional doctor was wrong on the doctor stuff
and the argument was that he was i guess insufficiently qualified

[53:33]

i guess insufficiently qualified now how dumb do you have to be to listen to a journalist who doesn't have any training criticize somebody who does have all the right training and to tell you that the problem with the person who has all the right training per the journalist who has none is that the doctor is getting it wrong now i'm not saying that the doctor is getting it right or wrong because we've seen that there are experts who disagree but how dumb do you have to be to watch that network cnn and see a journalist criticize a doctor on doctor stuff it's not on non-doctor stuff it's doctor stuff and then she goes on with her criticism and they didn't make any sense at all they really didn't because for example uh dr scott alice was saying that maybe we should have football because football players tend to be healthy young

[54:33]

healthy young youngish specimens so therefore the odds of a football player you know dying from coronavirus is low therefore you know we should we should do that and the cnn journalist not a doctor says oh he's so wrong and then gives examples of young people who had problems now is that the right answer to the professional who says young people are you know quite protected now when dr atlas is speaking did anybody interpret him to say no young person will ever get coronavirus or that no young person will ever have a problem with the current virus no he wouldn't say that nobody would say that but the cnn critique of him pretends as if he did and then they criticized the thing that didn't happen which is the absolute part of it so by showing that there are exceptions and that there you know there's a

[55:34]

and that there you know there's a growing number of youngish people who are having problems with the coronavirus is there anybody who didn't already know that no no
there's nobody who didn't know that everybody knew that even young people can sometimes doesn't happen often but can sometimes have pretty serious problems including death i would suppose who doesn't know that nobody everybody knows that so when the doctor says these young people are safe he means safe enough but when the analyst talks about the danger from closing down the journalist says that the closing down is the better solution well the doctor is suggesting that you need some balance between the economy and the lifestyle and the health and the risks so the doctor is looking at the whole

[56:36]

so the doctor is looking at the whole picture that includes the health impact mental and otherwise from the close down calculating the risks to this the young the old and then the economic thing in other words the doctor is looking at all the things that matter and ignoring none of the things that matter the journalist is criticizing him by ignoring half of the equation the economic part as if it doesn't matter you just just don't even talk about it and just say well if if we don't close down people will die because they'll get more of the virus how in the world does that end what what's the end state of that plan because he's still probably going to get the virus just later see europe didn't europe get the virus later they're having another wave after the successful close down even new zealand gotta got another case of it but they'll probably do a good job because they're so small so it is ludicrous to watch somebody who

[57:38]

so it is ludicrous to watch somebody who is a journalist ignoring at least 50 percent of the entire equation and criticizing the guy who explicitly included all of the equation showed his work you know there's nothing that the doctor is doing that doesn't you know check for yourself you know go look for yourself there's here's my opinion you'll see it's compatible with everything um
so yesterday i was tweeting that i'm frustrated that this far into the pandemic we still don't know if masks work are you kidding me now i have a little update on that so i i think the maybe the main voice of masks are perhaps uh unproven at least is alex berenson most of you know him from twitter from had worked at the new york times so i

[58:40]

had worked at the new york times so i think he's the uh probably most noted voice for the science is not conclusive on some things don't act like it is and one of the things the science seems to be not as conclusive as we'd like is this mask stuff and so i was quite interested that tucker carlson had him on last night so right after i was sort of asking the question do we really not know now if masks work seriously all these medical professionals recommending it and we don't know so before alex berenson was on as tucker carlson's guest he had dr siegel the doctor you see on fox news all the time and he asked tucker asked dr siegel about the science of masks now this is the right way to go because dr siegel's a doctor he's obviously looking into this quite quite deeply alex berenson would be more in the journalists non-doctor category and so i thought

[59:43]

non-doctor category and so i thought what's going to happen here if first tucker asks a doctor about masks and then his very next guest is the anti-mass guy are we going to get a difference of opinion here and i was quite surprised
um somebody says uh scott i believe you blocked people for questioning and saying just this that is correct right and i'm not changing that opinion so just to clarify yes i do block people who say masks don't work and probably will continue to only because i think it's obvious it's just obvious they do and i don't need you don't need too much science so dr segal was asked and his response was there have been studies and the studies show that they work okay did you hear that when a doctor was asked and this is a fox news doctor in other words that's his main association dr siegel so you would expect that if there was

[1:00:44]

so you would expect that if there was even a little bit of information to suggest that masks were a little overdone and maybe not proven you would expect a fox news medical expert to say you know there's no evidence for it but he didn't he referred to studies of enclosed spaces he did note that wearing a mask outdoors when you're taking a walk would be overkill i guess we all do that but he said there's science and the science was not just the lab kind of science which is what the journalists will often refer to because the lab experiments are ambiguous you'll see a lab experiment where they tried to put some virus through a mask and it either helped or it didn't or it came out the size or it didn't or it floated into the air or it didn't or it became more aerosol and stayed in the air or it didn't none of that is useful every bit of that stuff is useless because it doesn't tell you how that translates into the real world

[1:01:44]

translates into the real world it tells you what might happen but it doesn't tell you the odds of anything so what does matter is real people using masks in real environments and those are the types of studies that dr siegel referred to that when real people wore masks in places that you could compare to you know similar situations with masks and without all working with covid patients i i think that's the situation the mass squares did much better than the non-mask wearers is pretty clear and there you go now that would be very that would be very convincing now were they were they the controlled randomized studies i don't know but i don't think so but i also don't know that that would be as important in this situation uh as i like to point out we've all been hypnotized into thinking you can only make a medical decision if you have a randomized controlled you know double-blind study with enough people and you've done everything right

[1:02:45]

people and you've done everything right and it's been peer-reviewed it's been repeated so we all understand that's the gold standard but did you know that twenty percent of all prescriptions written by actual trained medical doctors are for off-label use of a drug in other words for a use that hasn't been tested in any kind of a trial not a randomized control tile trial not even a bad trial just never been tested 20 percent of all prescriptions have never been tested is that wrong no no because if the risk is really low and if the hypothesis that the doctor is working on makes sense and and the patient and the doctor work it out it's completely legal and it's completely legal for a reason it's better than nothing as long as you've got really low risk you don't need to have all of the

[1:03:45]

risk you don't need to have all of the certainty that a gold standard trial would give you because your risk management alone tells you to try it well if it doesn't cost much and it's not going to hurt me i don't have to have a hundred percent certainty that it's also effective i just need a good chance that it's effective and then why not what do you got to lose right
and um so then uh so then berenson gets on
on after siegel and i think to myself well what's he gonna say how do you if you're a journalist how do you follow an actual medical professional who has looked into the science and just proclaimed that the science very strongly recommends masks what's the journalist going to say no there's no science how do you play that and instead he talked about something else so so you didn't go you didn't talk

[1:04:47]

so so you didn't go you didn't talk about the mask alex didn't so i would still like to see dr siegel and alex berenson on a split screen and have hannity or somebody ask them both the questions say look can you guys work this out and tell the public because you your messages are not exactly compatible now i don't uh if i've misrepresented alex berenson's opinion on mass i hope you'll let me know because that's always the dangerous thing you know when whenever people talk about my opinions and criticize them almost every time they get my opinion wrong and they end up criticizing their imagination of my opinion so i'm sensitive that i may have been doing the same thing so somebody will tell me if i have okay because i don't want to misrepresent him whatsoever uh and i think it's he's a valuable voice because it's a contrarian voice that's presented you know strongly and i think we benefit

[1:05:49]

you know strongly and i think we benefit from contrarian voices because sometimes they're right never know all right
um i think that's just about all i want to talk about one more thing i hear people say to me scott you do realize that we're in an insurgency
uh oh somebody says please help me how do i explain to my brainwashed in-laws the charlottesville hoax there's nothing you can do short of showing them the printed transcript so just google charlottesville google the find people hoax transcript uh enough people have tweeted it that it's all over twitter you can see it in my twitter account but make them read all the way to the end
end at the end they're gonna go down the what i call the uh the find people hoax funnel once you make people read the transcript they understand that the president said

[1:06:49]

they understand that the president said the opposite of what was reported and that he called out directly no i'm not talking about the neo-nazis and the white nationalists they should be condemned totally once you've established that what the person believed the president said is the opposite they will always retreat to this secondary position always every single time and that will be yeah but there were no fine people there now my argument is i interviewed them people actually contacted me and said i was there i'm a fine person and i said well i'll prove it you know got on the phone with them you know got the whole story so i knew they were real people uh asked if if they'd mind i used their name some of them said yes and then i said well you're freaking crazy i'm not going to use your name i don't want you to get killed i want you to don't want you to lose your job i mean it's great that you're willing to let your name be out there as one of the people who's not racist disavowed the racists and we're just

[1:07:51]

disavowed the racists and we're just there for historical monument reasons and you thought you were a fine person i said there's no way i'm going to give your name to public all right you would just be buried there's just no way i'm going to do it but they offered so when people say to me
me well can you prove it you say it but can you prove it and the answer is nope nope i'm not going to try to prove that because i don't want you to know the name of anybody whose life would be destroyed just because they thought they were showing up to support some monuments and then they'll say pascat don't you know that it was organized by the you know the neo-nazis so anybody who goes to something that's organized by neo-nazis well they've got to be neo-nazis to which i say
say there was a religious group there the police were there they're not neo-nazis they went there for their own reasons to protect people how about the medical people and the ambulances and stuff which were probably nearby right were they neo-nazis they went to a neo-nazi event

[1:08:51]

neo-nazi event no it's because they had their own reasons they're protecting the health how about antifa they went to the same event are they neo-nazis no they went there for their own reasons it's a free country if somebody says there's going to be a thing in the united states a lot of people show up and they don't have the same opinions have you ever seen a thousand americans in one place that have the same opinion never you can't put a thousand americans in one place on any topic and they all got the same opinion so you can guarantee just by the fact that there were you know however many people that were there you can guarantee that some of them were not racist but also thought the statues should remain here's the kill shot once you've taken them down the funnel and you've said of course in america you're always going to get a diverse group mention diversity the person you're talking to loves diversity so you say look it's america

[1:09:52]

america you have a big public event it's going to be a diverse group it's a good line because they like diversity and diversity means some people are going to be different from you
you and then here's the kill shot polls say that something like somewhere between 25 percent and a third of black americans support keeping the statues are they bad people
that's when you walk away that's your mic drop a moment so your mic drop is once once your combatant has said there's no way anybody who shows up could possibly be a fine person because they anybody who supports confederate statues by definition is a bad person and then you hold your mic like this and you say paul say about a third of black americans are okay with the statues for just historical reasons mike drop turn and walk away all right because if your friend can

[1:10:53]

all right because if your friend can explain why black people are okay at least you know some percentage are okay with them for historical reasons well good luck with that i've never seen anybody try to explain that all right so i was talking about the insurgency somebody asked me do you know we're in an insurgency to which i say sure looks like one but who's in charge who's in charge of the insurgency and moreover what would it look like if they got what they wanted does the insurgency want to destroy capitalism and take over well good luck what exactly would they be taking over if you destroy capitalism and then you take over you're just a pre-chinese company a big country basically any country that has a military can just walk right over you next time they want to and then your capitalism will come right back but you'll be chinese i guess that's capitalism of a sort all right somebody says soros i don't know the soros want to be the

[1:11:55]

i don't know the soros want to be the king who would be in charge you know if the insurgents won what do they get i would like to see somebody game that out and say hey antifa wouldn't you like to see antifa interviewed about their vision of the future that's sort of missing isn't it hey antifa can you tell us what the future looks like if you got what you wanted what's you know game it out for us 10 years from now what's the country look like good luck with that they can't and they should be forced to describe what the country looks like how it makes money and how it's allocated and how crime is is handled 10 years from now if they got everything they wanted all right that's all for now i'll talk to you later
