any kind fill it with your favorite liquid i like coffee and join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine hit of the day the thing that makes everything better except joe biden's broken brain

[1:13]

joe biden's broken brain it's called the simultaneous if it happens now go
delightful sublime i hope it was just as good for you well let's start with some fun topics first you may have seen a clip in which uh van jones over on cnn was saying of biden's acceptance speech that uh i'm paraphrasing but uh he said that they were prepared to praise it even if it wasn't that good
and everybody said hey hey see see you're admitting that you're you're not
not you know trying to present the truth now first of all van jones is not uh one of cnn's news professionals he's he's there to be you know a political uh voice but i'll tell you what i like about van

[2:14]

but i'll tell you what i like about van jones and it's one of the things i like about trump when trump is bs'ing you you always sort of know it which makes it okay if he's always bs'ing everybody all the time he's always in you know sales mode if you will hyperbole mode you just say oh there's another one and you're okay with it it doesn't it doesn't bother you because there's sort of an honesty because it comes with a wink i know what you're doing wink wink it's only when somebody tries to sell their dishonesty as actually the truth that it gets under your skin you're like ah that's just not the truth but if you give me a wink i go okay i see where you're going with this and when van jones said yeah we were willing to
to you were ready to come out and say this was a good speech even if it wasn't but then he goes on to say what it was the greatest speech joe biden's ever given now do you believe him do you believe that he really thought it

[3:15]

do you believe that he really thought it was joe biden's best speech when he just winked at you he literally just winked at you and told you that he would have no intention of shading it anyway other than it was a great speech and that he that he tells you it was an extra great speech i have to say i just appreciate it because it's not hiding anything there's a there's a transparency there that you have to appreciate so i i give him
him good grades on that i always like van jones even if i disagree with him on some political stuff i always think he's the real deal
so yesterday i think it was yesterday i was
was trying to deprogram my most tds infected friend and i've mentioned him before and the reason i use him as my example is that he's so smart if you were not really really smart and

[4:15]

if you were not really really smart and also really well informed this wouldn't be interesting it's just that you know you can't blame him for being dumb or you know just not following the news or something because it's not that so you've limited to to tds or i have it right or or i'm crazy those the two things you have left once you've determined that people are smart and well-intentioned and and reasonably informed and one of the hoaxes that he believed is that trump had suggested drinking disinfectants now you've all heard that one right that the news widely reported that trump had at least noodled on the idea publicly of maybe drinking disinfectants that never happened it's just fake news but my friend believed it and as evidence he said look it's right there on the on the video you don't have to wonder if it happened

[5:18]

you don't have to wonder if it happened just look at the video now here was the interesting part remember my friend is logical very committed to rational thought which is the important part very committed to reason and data and rational thought and i said you know i've watched that too and it doesn't say that and i had to go back and look at it again and i had explained to him that if you didn't know that there was legitimately a light technology that the researchers were actively talking about at that period they were actively talking about it it was a conversation that i tweeted about i talked about on periscope about putting light uv light a certain kind on a ventilator sticking it inserting it into the body and it would maybe shine that light on your trachea possibly all the way to your lungs and they didn't know if it would work it was one of those things that had potential because the light would kill

[6:19]

potential because the light would kill virus but it doesn't hurt cells although by the way the i think there was a warning today from the fda saying that maybe that uv light is not so safe so we we have new information since then but i went back and i looked at it and i can see that he that trump introduced the topic by talking about light you being used externally and then he said is there something you could do you know uh like that but then he used the word disinfectant which is the word that had been used by the researchers themselves light as a disinfectant it's exactly what it is so use the word disinfectant once separated by a little bit of time from the time he was specifically talking about light as a disinfectant so there you'd say to yourself oh wait a minute is that a new topic because you talked about light as a disinfectant and then he talked about just the word

[7:19]

he talked about just the word disinfectant and there was a little bit of time that went by so you say oh that could be a new topic maybe he's talking about drinking bleach except that if you listen to how he bookends the topic he makes sure that you knew it was light so he started with light talked about things but used the word disinfectant by itself and that he closed that topic by making sure you knew it was about light now once i pointed this out to my friend and sent him a link to the actual article that said they were testing this exact thing and the article was dated from that period and i told him that and so then my friend said yeah but you can't tell me that trump was aware of this obscure little thing to which i said yeah i can because because there are enough people

[8:19]

because because there are enough people that follow my twitter feed and i personally was tweeting about it and i personally was doing periscopes on it and i do know that the some members of the white house uh do in fact watch my periscopes and do in fact retweet my tweets in fact the president has retweeted me i don't know several times so i know that the white house watches this topic and so how often do you get to tell your friend in an argument when he says well how would the president know about that how often do you ever get to to say well you heard about it from me [Laughter] which was sort of the best way an argument could ever go no i don't know if you heard about it from me i just know it's a real thing i talked about it i know they watch or some members watch and i know that what he was talking about was exactly that thing if you know what that thing is and then you hear him talk about it it's obvious that's what he's talking about and so once i had convinced my highly

[9:21]

and so once i had convinced my highly rational friend because now he saw it was real he knew exactly where it could have come from me and he saw that it had been bookended by light what do you think he did do you think that he then said my goodness i didn't realize that i had been subject to a hoax all of this time do you think that's how it went
nope nope believe it or not though he did accept that the president was talking about light as a disinfectant can you believe that i actually convinced a real living person that the information that they got as news was not true on a very important point that he had believed is true and it based a good part of his opinion on have you ever seen that done i i'm trying to think of one time in my whole life i've seen somebody go from that's not a fact and i'm positive

[10:21]

positive to oh that is a fact it's very rare so then did my friend say i guess you make your point scott i take back everything i've said on this topic it's clear now that you are completely right and maybe even involved in the story did he say that no here's what he said well scott he said you called that fake news and i would uh i would say that's not fake news because fake news assumes that there's an intent to fake whereas this is obviously just the news people maybe didn't know as much as you knew or as you've explained now as much as the president knew so maybe the news was just incorrect so that's not fake news that would just be news that's incorrect on a horrible horrible way
way because it painted the president as telling people to drink bleach which is exactly how it was reported

[11:21]

which is exactly how it was reported those words drink bleach nothing like that ever happened in the real world but that's how it was reported mostly the pundits were saying the drink bleach bar
bar yeah so he changed it to the definition of what fake news is maybe that's as close as you can get don't know um so uh i think it was uh who said this uh you've noticed a lot of people know said this that the democratic convention didn't mention impeachment now isn't that mind-blowing that we spend all that time on impeachment and it wasn't even brought up nor has biden brought it up as far as i can remember can you have you ever seen biden talk about impeachment as being a real thing and you have to ask yourself uh what's up with that well let me tell you what's up with that

[12:23]

you what's up with that speculating now it could be that the democrats have tested that approach one assumes that they've done polling and they've maybe done focus groups and they know that that topic just doesn't work for them and that could be part of it but part of the reason might be and i i teach you this all the time it's a it's a fact of persuasion that people's memories can merge so your memory of one thing if it's in any way similar to some other thing they can start to conflate in your mind and let me ask you this if you were to ask the average citizen today so not when it was happening but today if you just stop somebody in the street democrat or let's say a democrat and you say do you remember impeachment what was it about what would they say would they say accurately

[13:23]

accurately that it was something about ukraine and a perfect letter and something like that would they a lot of people would yes they would but you know what a lot of people would say a lot of people would say that impeachment was about russia collusion because they won't their their brain will not separate ukraine from russia even though it should and it'll all seem like one big ball of stuff and it will also seem like nonsense because trump was not removed from office so all they're going to know is that russia collusion was not only a gigantic fake operation to remove the president from office which maybe you don't want to mention your team was involved with
so it didn't work but at the same time durham is actively investigating the very people who are behind the russia collusion hoax so

[14:23]

the russia collusion hoax so i think the democrats don't want you to be thinking about the russia collusion hoax and you would if you thought about impeachment because first they wanted to impeach about that but they couldn't find anything that was purely russian so they thought what's as close as we can get to a russian thing maybe a ukraine thing and then the public probably just merged it all i'll bet the average person cannot sort out
out what was impeachment about russia ukraine whatever but they might know that durham talked to brennan yesterday for eight hours and that there's at least one part of the investigation we know was falsified you know the the lawyer klein smith i guess he's pled guilty to falsifying uh fisa stuff for carter page investigation now that alone is one of the worst abuses of you know

[15:24]

is one of the worst abuses of you know government power i've ever seen so i could see why they would ignore the impeachment now if you were a democrat if it ever came up to your mind hey why is the most important thing my party did last year or it's hard to believe it was actually this year uh it seems like it was last year but this year why is the the thing my party spent the most time on
on their biggest criticism they're not mentioning now is it because it went well no it's because it didn't go well so that's got to give you a little less trust in your party if you're a democrat all right a radio station in cleveland fired uh one of their news people for using a racially insensitive word now when i saw the headline i thought to myself oh my goodness how could anybody in 2020

[16:27]

how could anybody in 2020 use the n-word on the radio and think that's going to be okay how are they going to use that word and not know they're going to be fired immediately and indeed he was fired immediately and then i read the article and it wasn't the n word because of course nobody would intentionally use that word on the radio what he said was and i think he was 24 or 26 it was a young guy and he said that kamal harris using his words was the first uh colored first colored vice president candidate presidential candidate now he was immediately informed that that is a old timey racially insensitive term and he was fired
here's what black lives matter gets wrong like really wrong the right the right response to this from black lives matter should have been

[17:28]

from black lives matter should have been you should immediately rehire that guy why he was 26 i'm being i'm being told in the comments why should black lives matter immediately and publicly say whoa whoa you went too far that guy's got to get his job back why because there was no bad intent he was simply somebody who didn't have uh
uh he didn't have whatever i don't know grounding or context to know that that would be an offensive work now you i've talked to you about the power of reciprocity right what does it mean to the black community that there were more white people protesting for them than there were black people protesting at least in some number of places what what what does that mean to the black community that there are so many white people who are taking their position you know as aggressively as possible it probably means a lot because reciprocity

[18:29]

reciprocity hey you did something for me and you're asking nothing in return is really powerful now if black lives lives matter wanted to be persuasive if they wanted to continue getting white people on their side to take them seriously about the things that you know are the serious things that need to be fixed the best strategy for that would be reciprocity reciprocity if you miss this easy low-hanging fruit you don't know anything about how to persuade except maybe fear and violence and whatever else but this is low-hanging fruit if black lives matter and then this won't happen obviously but let's say the the black community if anybody said this is too far he's been informed that that's a word not to use it's obviously was not used with any bad intent let's draw the line here let's let's all of us get together

[19:30]

of us get together white and black and decide that the little stuff is unimportant and let's work on this big stuff now if they did that how much more support would they get for their what everything they want a lot it's a big deal it's not a small deal it's a big big deal and the fact that uh this 26 year old was thrown under the bus
bus gives me a bad feeling it gives me a bad feeling about the black community because i say to them you know and again when you talk about a group of people you're automatically being misleading so keep in mind this is nothing about any individual and it's always risky to say anything about the average of people well this group as a whole is doing this or that that's never completely fair but the way it feels is that i'm watching tons of white people giving and giving and quite legitimately

[20:31]

and quite legitimately and quite all with the right interest to make the world a better place to help the people who need the you know the greatest help and you can't give back this little thing such a small thing just just give this one
one this one guy just give them a pass is that a lot to ask because if you can't give that it's free it's easy it's obvious you can't give us that how much do you want in return how much work should we put in to help again there's there's no individual who represents the group but how much should you give to a group who can't give you that much back that's not asking a lot all right because remember we all get the lesson if you didn't know they're referring to somebody in 2020 as colored if you didn't know that's offensive now you do didn't everybody comment

[21:32]

now you do didn't everybody comment ahead aren't we all better for it isn't isn't the whole point to educate to improve you know that we become better people you know we're imperfect but hey we're working on it you know nobody's perfect but look i'm honest i'm honestly working on it trying to do what i can isn't that what you want apparently not all right george papadopoulos had some interesting points about the fact that brennan was interviewed by durham now the news says that brennan is not a target he is simply a person they're talking to for information relative to the whole russia collusion stuff and george papadopoulos you all know him from if you're following any of the russia collusion story you all know who he is he's got a new book out whose name i can't remember but i invited him to be a guest on the periscope to give us a little background i haven't got an answer yet i just asked him before i got on but maybe this

[22:34]

asked him before i got on but maybe this week if he says yes we'll talk to him he has four questions to be asked of brennan number one uh ask about the joseph massoud azra turk i don't know who azra turk is identity and handlers so apparently george papadopoulos thinks there's something with this george miss misued guy that if you dug down a little bit
bit you would find out some stuff number two ask about the uk and australian intelligence used against the campaign have you noticed the the black hole on this topic we're all watching this russia collusion thing and the words russia russia russia are the words in the headlines the ones we're talking about but with our own eyes we're seeing that this was a british operation it's not maybe a british operation christopher steele was you know from the british intelligence and then uh this next question gets to

[23:34]

and then uh this next question gets to it
it the other way also from george papadopoulos why were trump advisors constantly being invited to london to meet with agents why were they being invited to london to meet with agents because the british intelligence was in on something clearly british intelligence was involved in uh in let's say influencing our elections uh and also australian intelligence so do you think anybody will ask any questions about that well they might ask the questions but i don't know we'll ever hear the answers because the answers might be something the public you know can't hear or isn't supposed to hear anyway but those are pretty good questions and the fourth thing that george papadopoulos says is maybe they should ask brandon about lying to congress and i'm thinking are we all just going to ignore that
is that what's going to happen that brennan could lie to congress

[24:34]

brennan could lie to congress there won't be any doubt about it there's no doubt because you see what he said you know you can see what's true and we'll just ignore it we'll just act like it didn't happen okay unless you think brennan wasn't lying to congress [Music] so maybe all right here's something that made me laugh yesterday when i realized it
it and i'll give you uh uh i'll give you something that reminds me of um because i'm famous semi-famous a little bit famous whatever you want to call it i often think about what would happen if i died doing something stupid and i feel as if the moment before i was actually dead i would feel so dumb that i did something that could have gotten me killed and sure enough it did
did and those those last moments before i actually died instead of thinking oh god i'm going to die that my actual thought would be

[25:35]

die that my actual thought would be how stupid can i be and that would be my last breath and i swear this is that an actual thought i have all the time and an example would be let's say i thought to myself you know i like to do that uh rock climbing thing where they don't have any they don't have any support uh ropes on them what's that called is it like free free climbing or something and i don't have any skills for that and really you know might be a little too old for that kind of a sport but i think i'm going to give it a shot and then i'm you know i'm free climbing up a cliff and i slip and as i'm falling back in space i'm not thinking to myself oh my my life is slashing before my eyes i'm thinking to myself i'm so stupid for trying to be a free-range rock primer
so with that in mind this is all to make this next thing funnier

[26:36]

this next thing funnier imagine if you will and i'll use joe biden's uh joe biden's technique close your eyes and imagine if you will it's the day after election day and joe biden has so decomposed by election day that it's a landslide win for trump and you wake up after the election you're a democrat and you realize that you would have had a better result running absolutely anybody else on the planet except joe biden why was i so stupid
and it's not just going to hurt because you were wrong it's not going to hurt because you lost it's not going to hurt because trump won and you got another four years of that it's not going to hurt because you'll have to admit on tv or in other places that you were sure biden would win

[27:36]

biden would win and he didn't it's going to hurt because you will know the day after the election what you kind of suspect is true already that joe biden is the last person in the world you should pick to be your champion did you scour the seven billion people on earth and your champion the one that you picked to represent your brand to save the country if not the entire world was the only guy who has passed his expiration date that was your choice that's like me trying to be a free rock climber that idea never sounded good let me be clear about this the day after election when you've lost remember running joe biden as your champion was never a good idea i mean i understand how we got there it was the oddities of how primaries work and you know because they had name

[28:37]

you know because they had name recognition and you know there was one moderate but there were lots of progressives and they they kind of game the system to keep elizabeth warren in there to take votes away from uh bernie until the last minute so obviously the the game was rigged for biden but that's not going to make you feel any smarter for supporting them when you did
did so when i thought of that i just laughed um i've decided that the best way to summarize joe biden's let's say approach to campaigning is angry squinty caring and it's better if you put a dash between angry squinty and caring because that's all he's got he he gives you his squinty eyes and he gives you his angry demeanor and he tells you how much he cares i care uh i care about this country i'm gonna protect this country as well as i've protected my family

[29:39]

as i've protected my family what okay maybe that was the wrong thing to say apparently people are going to look into how well i protected my family [Music] so angry squinty caring i think that just summarizes them entirely so this morning rush limbaugh is getting the full fake news treatment they're doing the same trick that the fake news used to create the fine people hoax and the drinking disinfectant hoaxes they're done the same way do you know how
how they're done by cutting out the clarifying part of the quote so if you see the part the first part of a quote or the first part of some statements you might think hey that looks pretty bad but if you saw the rest of the statement you say oh i get what you're saying you're not saying that bad thing you're putting in a different context that's fine so that's how the hoaxes are created they show the part that's true and they leave out the other part that's

[30:40]

and they leave out the other part that's true that would have reversed its meaning so they did that to russia limbaugh today and uh so what rush limbaugh really said before i tell you how they took him out of context was that he was comparing um the biden bid for let's say empathy maybe or relating to him because he had lost family members and rush said that we're supposed to feel sorry for biden because his wife and child died but then the part they cut out which is the clarifying part they don't show that in the headline they bury that in the in the subtitle or they bury it in the text is the fact that but why can't we show the same sympathy for the president who just lost his brother just lost him it's brand new the president is literally still grieving but we don't count that like that doesn't count he he doesn't

[31:40]

like that doesn't count he he doesn't get any of our you know our good thoughts for his so if you see it in context he's just making a you know hypocrisy why don't we treat them the same kind of a situation which would be perfectly legitimate it's a reasonable political comment to say that one person's tragedy is being highlighted and other ones as being mocked literally mocked you know the president's brother dying was the subject of mockery literally and is it fair to point that out that it's being treated differently no it's the most common thing in in news punditry is to point out hypocrisy it's not very persuasive but it's it's always part of the you know the general uh texture of this stuff so so if you look at the the tweets the tweets will say the first part we're supposed to feel sorry for biden because he lost his wife and children and then they leave out the part where he puts it in context which would not have bothered you

[32:42]

which would not have bothered you um 90 of the people who see the tweet or the headline will never read the story because it's one of those stories where you think the headline is the story don't you see quite often
goodbye all right so um i tweeted after biden's speech that biden's dark and divisive speech filled with anger and lies as a national embarrassment now part of the fun of that tweet is that i wanted to show you that there are some words that can be applied to anybody so i took words that are normally applied to trump by his critics i simply just used the same kind of words and applied them to biden and you could see that they fit so if you think that these words

[33:42]

you think that these words say something about the candidate you'd be wrong because if you have words that fit every candidate you're not saying anything you're not saying anything and listen to this this could literally fit any republican any democrat they give a speech they say some good things some bad things about the country and that you as the critic come in later and say it was a dark and divisive speech filled with anger and lies it's a national embarrassment could you make that fit for just about any candidate giving any speech yes so i made a fit to biden and you can see that when they make these same words fit the president do they fit well in their view of the world yes but if you don't understand that these same words would fit every candidate for every speech with you know some exception you'd there'd be probably some candidate who says nothing but you know unicorns and rainbows but it's

[34:43]

you know unicorns and rainbows but it's uncommon generally a politician is going to complain about what's wrong before saying why they're the one that can fix it so as long as you've got that complaining about what's wrong you can always say it's dark and divisive fits every time all right here's another funny thing that i thought about last night so some of you saw my rant about the find people hoax and uh it made quite a bit of news because there were lots of other people who were making similar comments and amplifying each other so it should have been one of the biggest things that trended on twitter yesterday the find people hoax did you ever see that in the twitter trending fine people hoax has that ever trended because there's often a lot of talk about it nope now maybe maybe and i've missed it so i i will allow that i could have missed it

[35:44]

i will allow that i could have missed it but i think somebody would have pointed that out to me because usually if there's anything of that much interest to me and people know it people dm me and they tweet it at me say hey hey hey did you see this thing nobody has ever said to me scott good job it looks like you got that fine people hoax trending because i don't think it trended i don't think you did despite all the people talking about it one of the biggest stories didn't trend at all huh how about that so here's the funny thought i had and see if you would agree with this i tweeted this i said by now thousands of news people have double checked the fine people transcript now because there were there were lots of people supporting the president pushing back on biden's claim about the fine people oaks clearly you would expect that all the news people who believed it was true

[36:44]

news people who believed it was true would just go back to double check that they were right because often people tweeted the transcript so they wouldn't have to do any work they would just have to be following any of these accounts that were continuously retweeting the transcript and maybe and maybe some of those reporters and journalists and news people maybe they took a minute to actually read it and remind themselves what actually happened that day or to watch the videos that people were tweeting and if they did how many of them certainly not all of them but how many of the hundreds if not thousands of news people who went and double checked that story how many of them had an oh moment now if you think the oh moment is just about that being a hoax because that's what hundreds of them would have realized they would read it and they said hey every time i see this clip they leave out the second part where trump says in direct language just

[37:45]

where trump says in direct language just so there'll be no confusion i'm not talking about the white nationalists and the neo-nazis they should be condemned completely his exact words now if you leave those out you could easily be confused by what he said before but because he knew that at the time that it wasn't as clear as it could be he put those words in without being asked he simply realized that could be taken ambiguously so he clarified as clearly as you can no i'm not talking about the marchers i'm talking about people who were there just about the statue and now whether or not there were people there about the statue who were fine people or not the president clarified his assumption worst case scenario he didn't have current information about who attended that's it the worst it could be is that he didn't know exactly who attended do you know who else didn't know exactly who attended the entire news news media nobody knows

[38:46]

the entire news news media nobody knows who attended that is completely unknown i know who attended because i actually did reporting on it i actually talked to people who attended and said do you support the racists are you for against the statues why would you come to an event that is so clearly you know organized by your white supremacists why would you be here if you're not one of them and they had good reasons for example some were local it was walking distance they wanted the statues to stay they weren't with anybody they were just walking distance it was their city it was their park and so there was no there was nothing to stop them from walking there so they thought they would walk over there take a look maybe voice their opinion about keeping the statues and i asked them well do you agree with the the racist hell no i'm not a racist i don't agree with the racist i just lived nearby i heard there was going to be a thing about the statues i didn't see any

[39:47]

about the statues i didn't see any posters it was in the news my friends told me there was a thing about the statue was there anybody who told me i couldn't go did somebody say oh wait no this is only for the white supremacist you're not allowed to go you're not allowed to walk two blocks in this direction to see antifa and white supremacists getting in a fight i've told you this before if i ever hear the antifa and white supremacists are going to have a protest and a counter-protest in my town i would walk five miles to watch that stuff because i would like watching them beat each other up like it's the only time you could watch a fight while hoping for everybody to lose i mean it's a very rare thing um and
so there were real people there and one of the people i talked to was jewish he had a jewish heritage i don't know what his practice was but jewish heritage do you think a guy with jewish heritage uh went to the

[40:51]

jewish heritage uh went to the the charlottesville event and he was in favor of keeping the the statues for historical reasons or free speech reasons i don't know he had his own reasons but he obviously disavowed the racists because the racists were saying things about him he was one of the people that the racists were against but he was just there for his own reasons and he knew that you know some rough people had organized it but he said to himself quite reasonably am i not allowed to go
stop texting me when you know i'm on periscope all right um so anyway the the press did not talk to anybody but i did
did and so i have some idea what happened there now how many people are waking up to this thought oh wow this was a hoax all the time because they looked at the transcript and realized it was a hoax but that's not the fun part somebody

[41:54]

but that's not the fun part somebody says how did i know he was a jew he told me
do you think i do you think i tested his dna or something no he told me now if you're assuming that he lied to me i suppose anything's possible but keep in mind i talked to several people who were also representing several other people that they went with so just the people i talked to were aware of or went with i know maybe 20 or so people that i'm pretty reasonably sure had the characteristic of fine people and they were not racist although i disagree with them on statues on anti-statute so so here's the the oh moment the oh moment is not the point where a democrat realizes that the fine people hoax is a hoax that's the first part of the oh do you know what the second part is because until until recently it was just this nagging thing about you know

[42:55]

know about the president there was a persistent hoax that people believed and that's sort of all it was it was bad but it was that's what it was but recently biden made it the centerpiece for his campaign what would happen to biden's campaign if the very centerpiece the thing he built his entire campaign on which is the find people hoax and biden says it pretty directly this isn't there's not much interpretation i'm putting on this at all biden features it as his primary story of why the president needs to be replaced it's the central theme of his campaign and here's the problem
what if it's not true and it is not true but what about all the people who said well biden's got a pretty good thing there and then they looked at the transcript and realized oh oh this isn't just about debunking the hoax

[43:57]

this isn't just about debunking the hoax anymore this is biden's entire campaign and it's based on something which is objectively easily debunked you don't even have to wonder you just read the transcript it's right there in plain words you just have to look at it and then you would realize that the hoax works by cutting off the second half that clarifies what the president meant when he said he condemned it totally the neo-nazis and white nationalists so imagine if you're the democrats and you've awakened to the idea that your candidate has built a foundation on something that is easily debunked and it's worse than that it's not just an ordinary bad thing it's something that created gigantic division in this country because it supports all the other hoax allegations if you think what think of it this way if you had heard five allegations about somebody it doesn't matter who you're talking

[44:58]

it doesn't matter who you're talking about here are five allegations and all five of the allegations are a little sketchy it's like somebody who this person fired said bad things about them you're like well that's what fired people say or it happened 20 years ago and he wasn't directly involved and you go well maybe it's true but that was a long time ago and i'm not sure we could trust the people who say they heard it but what if one of the five things you knew to be true because you saw with your own eyes you heard it with your own ears so one of the five you know to be true what does that make you think about the other four that were not as obviously true you think those are true too don't you and that's what the find people hoax did you made everything else that trump has been accused of become real even without credible information

[45:58]

information because there's that one of them that's so obviously real i heard it with my own ears i saw it with my own eyes and that's literally what people say they'll say it over and over again don't gaslight me and tell me this didn't happen i was i watched it live but they didn't they watched the fake edit without the clarification so once they realize that they've been duped by that they realize that there's an
an easy play to take biden out and i'm going to take that play and the play goes like this i am going to be such a raging about this fine people hoax that i will be harder and harder to ignore and and once once i've dismantled this thing i will have dismantled biden at the same time and as i've said this is personal this isn't politics this isn't about supporting trump it does that obviously it's not about hurting biden per se

[46:59]

it's not about hurting biden per se it's about the fact that biden has painted a target on my back and on the back of all trump supporters with this hoax this is not a normal hoax a hoax about russia is just about some professional campaign people and politicians you know allegedly did something with another country no this is about targeting your citizens and i'm one of them all right i'm leaving out the cursing for this one because i didn't give a warning i think it's fair to curse if i give you a warning but not if i don't
and so that's the play so joe biden is not only a liar and an
but he's perpetrating the the worst hoax in american history it's the worst not because it's the most untrue or anything like that but because it it targets citizens it divides the country it supports all the other bad thoughts that we have it's incredible

[48:00]

we have it's incredible um you may have seen greg gutfeld took on the hoax also on the five yesterday uh including taking his own network to task for not being a little more clear about the hoax nature of that story so uh and of course he was immediately attacked by bulwark have you ever heard of bulwark they're some kind of very left publication that operates basically as just a hit piece so if you have hit pieces coming after you you're doing something right they don't send hits after somebody who's not over the target if you know what i mean so yesterday i had a strange experience which was uh msnbc contacted me through my publisher to ask me out to be on one of their shows one of the political newsy shows now what would you have done if you were me and msnbc

[49:00]

and msnbc wanted to have you on the show they didn't say but i assume it's because of my
my video about the fine people hoax giving me an opportunity to bring that message that it's a hoax to an audience that largely wouldn't have seen it until now so i should take it right it seems like perfect opportunity i've got a message i want to reach this audience that is the audience i want to reach
no i turned it down because i'm not an idiot i live in the real world and i tweeted this to see if people could know why this was a trap here's why it was a trap number one i came out of left field that this is the first time they want me on camera really the only time i've ever been on msnbc is when i was on book tour and that's just sort of an automatic booking you know somebody famous has a book bring them on and see what they have to say so but outside of the book tour process i don't know that i've been invited to

[50:02]

i don't know that i've been invited to msnbc or if i have not for years why to why yesterday well i'll tell you why because i was over the target and i drew blood and when i made so much noise about this hoax and specifically the way i did it it became a little bit harder to ignore and so if they can't ignore me they have to extinguish me and so i immediately became on the target set for people to be discredited now why would they invite the cartoonist to talk about this when they could have invited let's say steve cortez somebody who's whose entire job
job you know at least lately his entire job is talking about politics and representing the you know the trump world view has been a paid political uh you know person funded whatever you want to call it on cnn until cnn didn't like him

[51:03]

on cnn until cnn didn't like him bringing up the fine people oaks wouldn't he be the perfect person to have a credible discussion about this hoax yeah you'd be a real good choice very credible how about joel pollock of breitbart has written about this topic number of times tweets about it a number of times he's followed the campaigns literally traveled with democrats during the primaries written books on the topic completely credible voice for you know a world view why not invite him why would you invite the cartoonist well it's obviously it's the scott baio my pillow move what you want to do is you want to take the strongest message from the side you don't like you want to take the strongest message and pair it with the most ridiculous messenger now when i say most ridiculous i'm not insulting scott baio or you know mike lindell the my pillow

[52:06]

or you know mike lindell the my pillow inventor both awesome people who you know did great things in their profession but you know that the play was that their audience doesn't know that i've spent most of the last four years talking nothing but politics and persuasion and this topic of a hoax in a political realm is exactly my expertise meaning i'm a trained hypnotist i write and talk about persuasion this is that it's persuasion in the context of politics i'm actually the perfect person to talk to but not to their audience i would be introduced as the dilbert guy first of all so they would frame me as a non-credible person and then they say why do you believe this thing that's clearly wrong because we all heard it with their own ears and then i would give my thing and then they would talk over me and then they would then they would run out of time and that's it so i would be completely

[53:07]

and that's it so i would be completely discredited by not having enough time to make my point because everything is time limited on tv by necessity and here's the other trick smirkonisch did this to me once so smarkonish is one of the more reasonable people on cnn i think he's actually quite reasonable been on the show a few times one of the times i was on a show i agreed to be on the show and after i'd agreed and this is very this is key after i'd agreed to be on they said oh we're also going to have another guest at the same time who will be criticizing you right now as a professional i would typically go ahead and you know do it just because i said i was going to do it it's it's bad for him to agree and then pull out in retrospect i should have pulled down like if if i could replay it today i would have said oh i had agreed to be a guest i had not

[54:07]

i had agreed to be a guest i had not agreed to be on a panel if you want a panel type of guest maybe i could recommend somebody you know steve cortez you'd be perfect because you got to be able to get that you know tight little message out and there's some people who are really good at that and they're professionals why not get one of them but instead i i took it and of course it went exactly the way you think that between the time limit between reconnaissance questions and my critic my point got compressed to not much of a point by the time it was over there isn't much you know counter play compare that to sam harris who a few years ago invited me on his podcast we had different views of politics but sam harris is a a reasonable credible person who was legitimately interested in my opinion because it was so different from his own and yet thought i had at least enough possibility if i could say that that it was worth hearing and worth wrestling with it

[55:08]

wrestling with it it was not time limited not in any real way
way so i i had all the give and take all the time i wanted as did he and he's a reasonable person who isn't just going to talk over me and you know and try to use up the time or something stupid like that so the sam harrison made perfect sense but the tv stuff can often be a trap so uh that's my first signal that i was over the target i i've received other signals that this is
is really bad for biden i can't tell you exactly what i mean by that but here is here are some of the initial takes on how i plan to take biden out of contention now here's the trick you don't want to take him completely out because you want him to actually be the top of the ticket on election day you don't want kamal harris to be the top of the ticket because she might actually look competent or they could sell her that way whereas biden is going to be pretty degraded by

[56:09]

degraded by election day so you want him to stay you just want him to be discredited completely here's one way i would do it i would ask somebody in the press to get a comment from an israeli official it could be benjamin netanyahu it could be let's say any israeli diplomat you know from from israel and asked them this question hey you know we're we're having this conversation about this charlottesville thing obviously you watch american political news why wouldn't they and you saw the same event and you saw the chanters with these tiki torches saying anti-semitic things do you think that the president was referring to the the marchers as the fine people let's ask israel because if israel hasn't detected any anti-semitism do you think you should because i would propose that

[57:09]

you should because i would propose that israel is very good at detecting anti-semitism would we all agree with that is there anybody in the world who would disagree with the statement that israel especially the politicians are very good at detecting anti-semitism i would say 10 out of 10. if you were to rank their ability to identify anti-semitism you might say they're even oversensitive in some situations that would be your opinion you know their opinion would differ but you might even say that they're never going to undershoot the mark they might go a little further than you would go and say something was anti-semitic when you thought well it wasn't exactly anti-semitic but i could see how you'd see it that way but would they have simply failed to notice if a president said in public that neo-nazis and white nationalists or anybody who supported them again anybody who supported them

[58:10]

anybody who supported them if he had said that they were fine people do you think israel would have just just let that go i think i think that's a good question don't you somebody should ask them to comment put them on the record is it true or not
how about this have you checked politifact to see if the find people hoax is true or false well i have did and you know what politifact does right they've got this little uh true or false meter so it's like a little graphic uh and they they say something's completely true the needle is over here or
or completely false the needle's over here or sometimes you know it's true-ish so they'll put the needle in the middle where do you think they put the needle for the fine people hoax do you think it was you know somewhere in the middle difference of opinion maybe at the right or the left what do you think how do you think they handled it

[59:14]

this will blow your mind are you ready they omitted it they omitted it they handled the hoax so it's a topic on politifact and they just showed the transcript do you know why they just showed the transcript and left out the needle because otherwise people would point to them and say politifact says it was false did they say it was false well they showed you the transcript and the transcript says it's false it's right there the exact words i'm not talking about the neo-nazis and then the white nationalists they should be condemned completely those words are there so so where's my little graphic you see what's happening right this is not some weird conspiracy theory thinking find to be anything else that politifact left off the the image find me any just find me one other example where they left off the the little graphic now

[1:00:15]

little graphic now i think somebody should point that out right wouldn't you like to know israel's opinion would you like to know why politifact is the only one they left that out or there might be others but i'd like to see those if there are here's another one i'd like to see asked and i would like to see this in the in the forum of a cognitive test for joe biden and the first one would go like this so question number one on joe biden's cognitive test i tweeted this earlier if you hear someone say these words quote can i condemn totally the white nationalists and neo-nazis how do you interpret that and there are two choices you interpret it as somebody has condemned those groups or to support those groups now you say to yourself um that's kind of an easy cognitive question because the answer is actually in the question

[1:01:16]

the if the statement is i condemn totally white nationalists and neo-nazis how can you get this one wrong well joe biden gets it wrong right this is why it's a good test for joe biden because he can't get this one right he thinks that the words i'm not talking about the white nationalists and the neo-nazis they should be condemned totally he thinks those words literally mean support for those groups so that's a fair test isn't it how about this one uh question number two for joe biden when the fbi fbi when the fda uh said today that so this is something new from the fda a warning about using uv light externally it says when the fda said today that uvc lamps used for disinfection purposes may pose potential health and safety

[1:02:17]

may pose potential health and safety risks what do they mean is does the fda fda's telling people don't drink bleach or are they saying be cautious of uvc lamps which one is it because joe biden would answer this that they mean don't drink bleach because he thinks the president once suggested drinking disinfectants which people talk about as bleach so joe biden couldn't get this right he would think that the fda was saying don't drink disinfectants when the fda was you talking about light using the very word this is actually the fda's own word uvc lamps for disinfection purposes disinfection it's the same word that the president used when he was talking about light
in a separate story oh here's another one
one uh you wanna you wanna go deep into

[1:03:19]

uh you wanna you wanna go deep into conspiracy theory come with me come with me i'm gonna take you deep into holy cow what's going on territory are you ready first of all ask the press to interview or to put in a call for anyone to contact them and say i was at the charlottesville event and i'm not a racist but i was just there for my own purposes and then explained why they would go to such an event so the press could do that right how hard it would be for abc cnn msnbc to just say hey if you were there and you think you are one of those fine people can you contact us we'd like to get you on record maybe verify if you're such a fine person or not how hard would it be to do that it wouldn't be hard because i did that that's how i interviewed people in the fine people category i just said i'm open to talking to them and they contacted me on twitter

[1:04:20]

and they contacted me on twitter it was that easy one tweet all the information they need about who went there but are you ready to go darker you want do you want to go down a level do you know those pictures you saw of the marchers with the tiki torches did you say to yourself those don't look like the racists i'm used to seeing did you ever have that thought because they seemed young and strong and dare i say aryan and they looked because of the the what they were chanting and because of the tiki tortures and because it was at night and because they had a certain look about them as being shall we say middle class or higher possibly high income they even look like they might have gone to prep schools they looked like exactly the people that would scare the out of you if the if there were many of them in

[1:05:21]

if the if there were many of them in other words if you saw uh let me put it this way you've seen lots of video and pictures of let's say the kkk gathering to do an event picture in your mind what the people who showed up who were avowed racists what do they look like right get that image in your mind all right do they look like really well-dressed preppies who are 25-ish or under have good clean haircuts and they look like they just came out of a fashion catalog do they look like that have you ever seen a group of racists in the united states who looked exactly like hitler youth huh what if i taught you about things that are a little bit too [Music] on the nose a little bit too on the nose now let me be as clear as i can because this is the part that'll be taken out of context i'm sure there were real racists

[1:06:23]

i'm sure there were real racists at an event organized by real racists okay so there's no question there were real races there all right one of them killed heather hire with a car so nobody's arguing whether there were real racists in attendance but what is it about real racists that they all seem to have in common i'm not maybe not 100 but largely as an average they're not really photogenic are they they're not too photogenic so if you're going to have a rally and your intention was to just say promote your point of view how would you do it well i think you do it exactly the way the kkk does it they would you know legally if possible get an event to have a protest or an event they would gather there it would be a

[1:07:23]

they would gather there it would be a scraggly bunch of people and they would have their signs and maybe they'd say some stuff that's how you do it is the kkk trying to scare the out of you are they because they are scary in the sense that you know if there were more of them you know it would be even even bigger problem but they don't seem to be trying to scare you
just fact check me on that except for charlottesville is there are have there been other events that are these you know kkk white nationals whatever were they ever trying to scare you because the the charlottesville thing is designed specifically to scare you why would they do that what would be the point of making themselves look scary because how does that help them did it help the people with the tiki torches to be

[1:08:24]

torches to be especially scary looking or would have been would have been enough to just gather in march and say their little slogans so here's the thing here's my challenge to the press hey press see if you can find one of the people with the tiki torches because we have tons of video tons of photographs we know exactly what they look like they didn't wear masks how come you've never seen somebody says fact check equals you are wrong why have we never seen an interview of one of those people with the torches because you know what was interesting about them as they didn't wear masks or hoods what kind of people would walk in front of hundreds of cameras carrying a tiki torch and saying something that would ruin the rest of their life in the united states and would know that certainly would know it

[1:09:24]

it now when you see the the fringy kkk people marching and you say to yourself hey you know they're ruining their lives too because people can see you we know who you are well what kind of lives did they have in the first place right was the is the group of the 12 kkk people who show up at some park were they killing it in life was one of them as ceo of a major company not so much right they didn't have they don't look like a group that's got a lot to lose but the people marching in charlottesville were young probably educated good looking they had a lot to lose a lot to lose
so here's the thing why have we never seen an interview with one of those tiki torch people does that raise some questions about the press that nobody in the press has found even one

[1:10:24]

one tiki torch person to just to just put on put on the stage and put on camera and say look what the heck were you thinking with this tiki torch stuff remember these were people who did this in public with no masks walking by hundreds of cameras as well as all the news crews they were trying to be seen with their actual faces you think you can't find one of those people who would go on tv and say the same thing that they were apparently willing to say in public in cameras how about that i see people mentioning the proud boys in the comments they didn't look like the proud boys so if you've seen the proud boys they do have a distinctive look they're i'm not sure how to describe it but there's definitely a look to the proud boys and it wasn't that didn't look like it at all so uh now i'm not going to say that they were paid actors or crisis actors i'm just

[1:11:26]

paid actors or crisis actors i'm just going to put the question out there have you ever seen a situation where there would be so many people involved in one of the biggest stories of the year and nobody has talked to a any of the people who would claim to be fine people who attended nobody no major publication couldn't find anybody i found several with no effort whatsoever but the major publications no interest in actually talking to anybody who attended interesting isn't it i think the new york times did interview a few people like you know when it was fresh when they were actually there uh but i don't think anybody's talked to anybody after the fact and it would be easy to find them so just ask yourself what kind of a world you live in and is the charlottesville fine people hoax let me leave you with this final thought
given what you saw do you think it was domestic do you think that only people from the

[1:12:26]

do you think that only people from the united states who only have the interests of the united states which might be different than your view but do you think it was only citizens of the united states who are the only ones involved with the charlottesville tiki torch carriers do you think so because it feels unlikely to me because it was a little bit too on the nose a little bit too camera ready have you noticed that the kkk and the white nationalists and the neo-nazis don't really have a track record before then or after them of doing camera ready staged events have you noticed that they don't seem to have that capability but that day they had that capability not only did they have the capability but they had it really really strongly do you think that all came from just some americans

[1:13:26]

and if joe biden is using the charlottesville hoax as his main campaign theme could it be said that joe biden is outside that sphere of influence is joe biden siding with a foreign adversary is there any foreign adversary who would want an event like a tiki torching tiki torch carrying people is there is there any foreign adversary who might want to see that in the united states so ask yourself if joe biden is on the side of the united states on that topic or maybe on the side of somebody else now let me say this as clear as possible
i don't know what was up with those people and i don't know why nobody's talked to them but it would be easy to debunk everything that i'm suggesting is possible and let me be as clear as i can with my language i'm always suggesting things that are possible i'm not suggesting things that i know to happen it's not it's not a specific claim

[1:14:28]

it's not it's not a specific claim i'm just saying that the news hasn't come close to doing the news business on this topic because the news business would really require them to dig in a little bit with those tiki torch guys and why was this one so camera ready and then also to dig in and find out if there were some fine people there anybody that actually was a decent person who attended the event and did not support the races
um somebody says so the trolls are coming for me so what you should see today if what i'm saying is as damaging as i as it is it is that damaging because biden made the gigantic strategic mistake maybe the mistake possibly the biggest mistake i've ever seen a politician ever make is that he put a focus of his campaign on a easily disprovable hoax

[1:15:30]

on a easily disprovable hoax now that might be the biggest mistake anybody's made and he is on top of that made the entire thrust of his you know his proposition of why he should replace trump the entire thrust of it is that he's the one with good character and good judgment but he based his campaign on a hoax that's easily debunked that shows that he's either really stupid right or he's pure evil because if he's pushing this just for political purposes and he knows it's not true he's dividing the country in the worst possible way right in front of you and that is completely disqualifying but if he literally doesn't know that it didn't happen the way he describes it if he doesn't know that he's far too stupid to be president and i don't think there's another possibility the the democrats would say well the other possibilities that really happened

[1:16:32]

possibilities that really happened no read the transcript it didn't happen neither did the disinfectant story so uh yeah possibly the biggest blunder of any politician running for president of all time you could argue that dukakis getting in the tank was pretty bad maybe george bush the senior saying read my lips no new taxes those were bad but the fine people hoax i think it beats them because it's going to take biden out of the election and i'm going to see to that personally but not until um [Music] not until i get rid of this guy oh where was he yeah he disappeared
all right somebody says that uh his speech writers know the truth i don't know don't really know um

[1:17:34]

somebody says the tiki torches are part of the color revolutions i don't know what that is
i'm looking at your comments to see if i'm hitting or missing on this because your feedback tells me if i'm in the zone or not
um yeah so people think that maybe biden is too out of it even now you know the the fact that uh he's being praised for not being and saying is crazy all right that's enough for now and i will talk to you later
