out my window from my office what you should be seeing instead of this white out conditions you should be seeing the town and a ridgeline and some hills but instead you see nothing but smoke that's right nothing but smoke let me close the blinds in here and that's what happens if i go outside now it's a hundred and ten degrees out there today or it will be same as yesterday the air quality is unbreathable and if i stay inside i'm going to get the covet
everything's great everything's great if you don't mind 110 degrees rolling blackouts a little bit of covert and of course you can't breathe the air and your house might burn down but other than that it's looking good

[1:05]

but other than that it's looking good so if i could i i hate to start anal negative so let me put a positive spin on this as i just tweeted there are really only two places in california that are dangerous i don't think you can say that about a lot of places but in the entire state of california only two dangerous places those two places are indoors and outdoors if you can stay away from either being indoors or outdoors you'll be safe in california and the other thing that will make you safe is the simultaneous septum all you need is a copper a margarita glass attack or chalice or stein a canteen jugger flask a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid i like coffee and join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine the other day the thing that makes everything better except maybe california it's called the simultaneous hip and happy style go

[2:09]

yeah i can i can feel the temperatures starting to ease there's a low pressure system coming in from the east yeah i think things are getting better
somebody says it sounds awful why do you stay well have you ever been anywhere else
i i don't like to brag but it is it is just the truth i i think this is just objective objectively speaking if you like good weather and you like other stuff california used to be like way up here compared to the second best place if you like weather and you know a fairly open society kind of situation lots of resources but that was then now i would say that that gap between california as a place to live and the second best place it's a lot a lot of uh that gap got closed but it's still just

[3:12]

that gap got closed but it's still just marginally better than a lot of other places because if you move out of california you might have to experience a thing called winter or a thing called bugs i don't have we've got bugs but not many of them have you ever been in in florida during the summer it's a little muggy a little bit muggy they got some bugs we don't have that so you could take uh 40 off of the goodness of living in california and i think that's kind of where we're at i would say that california is approximately 40 percent worse all things considered from taxes to forest fires and everything else probably 40 worse than it used to be and still competitive that's just the truth um but it won't be that won't be that way much longer here's an interesting factoid a dog

[4:13]

here's an interesting factoid a dog that's not barking do you remember how often i was on the news or news related channels in 2016. it was quite a bit in in 2016 i had a contrarian view that trump would win many of you had the same view but among the people who actually said things out loud in public i was in the
the the group uh they were kind of rare because i was saying he's definitely going to win now i'm still the same person i might be even arguably more interesting now because i've spent enough time talking about politics that i'm less of a freak show and maybe have something to say i have no interest from any of the news outlets except for you know i'll get a you know breitbart radio or breitbart actually still has interest and
and fox will occasionally have me on but absolutely nobody on the left is

[5:16]

absolutely nobody on the left is interested just complete lack of interest and it might be because of what i would say they don't want their their i don't think they want their audience who's sort of locked into their little news silo to hear anybody from the other silo who has anything to say so it's interesting to me that there's no interest in me now that i've been proven right more than wrong you think there would be more interest don't you all right let's check in on the biden riots hashtag biden riots the hashtag's doing pretty well by the way still still zooming and i guess we had some big games in rochester and portland if you have not yet seen any of the humorous videos from not last night but the night before of the antifa guy or black lives matter i can't tell who got his feet caught on fire

[6:17]

who got his feet caught on fire in a molotov cocktail situation of his own doing i guess or somebody else's and he started doing what looked like a funny dance to put it out now it wasn't funny if it was you who had their feet on fire but if you're just watching it it was kind of funny i i don't want to i hate to admit that it doesn't say it doesn't speak well of me does it but you're in the same boat you laughed when you saw it i know you i can see you i can see you you're smiling right now you know that was funny tragic but funny um and it's been put to music by a number of clever people if you haven't heard all of the different musical tracks some of them are really good and i think they were all funny but i want to point this out as a humor tip
tip so that you'll be smarter after you're done with this periscope on how to write humor now some people

[7:19]

on how to write humor now some people put
put to music uh songs that had fire in in the in the lyrics like was it johnny cash who has a song called a ring of fire so it's very funny to hear johnny cash singing you know rang no fire and seeing the guy dancing with his feet on fire but that was not and then there was also a michael jackson a thriller where they played the guy with the the the feet on fire they played in reverse so he's moon walking moon walking with flaming feet and they played that to michael jackson's i think his thriller it was thriller or smooth criminal or something i don't know it was one of those so that was pretty funny but the funniest one by far was footloose if you haven't seen the one
one uh you should google it just you know

[8:20]

uh you should google it just you know google anti-fun footloose and feet on fire it'll probably come up and what's funny about footloose is that the the mood and tone of the song footloose is happy and free and it's sort of like a celebration of life and freedom and and all that and it's being put to put to a guy whose feet are on fire
so here's your here's your humor lesson of the day humor or the the laugh reflex happens when your brain can't process two things that don't fit together so if you can create a joke where you've put two things together this sort of fit in in a pseudo-length pseudo-logic way but your brain knows they don't go together that your brain will just laugh because it's two things that don't belong together now once you see that rule

[9:21]

rule it becomes a lot easier to write huber or to know that you've written it correctly because anytime you can make two things that don't fit together fit together with a pseudo-logic people get that reflex and go ah and they laugh at it so listening to the happy footloose on while the guy's dancing with his legs on fire he shouldn't it shouldn't be funny but it is all right uh speaking of funny a man in france i think this was on the fox news site or cnn i can't remember which one but a man in france was injured friday after he blew up part of his home while trying to kill a fly with an electric swatter
again tragic there's nothing funny about somebody blowing up their home unless they did it by using an electric flyswatter so the man was the man was in his 80s

[10:23]

so the man was the man was in his 80s he was about to eat dinner and he saw this fly so he took out his electric flyswatter i don't know what it makes it electric i guess it shocks the fly you would think that hitting the fly with the flyswatter would do enough but no he's got to add like an electric shocker to his flyswatter to really get the job done but he was unaware that a gas canister was leaking from the home so as soon as he's he swatted the fly his house [Laughter] which is not funny i'm laughing at a different joke that i thought of at the same time i don't know what's wrong with you if you're laughing at this joke this is a tragedy i think he was uninjured i don't know how he blew up half of his home and was uninjured but that's the good news all right so while you were sleeping the uh coven 19 epidemic was solved what you don't believe it

[11:24]

was solved what you don't believe it no it was it's all solved now so i might have a little bit of hyperbole in that statement just a little bit but listen to my evidence so yesterday or this morning i guess we saw the result of a randomized clinical trial also known as the good stuff we're not talking about observational study where you just look at things that already happened we're talking about randomized where they did a you know a controlled experiment where they randomly created two groups of people who were hospitalized but not yet in the icu
icu and they gave them vitamin d now they also had hydroxychloroquine and zinc which was part of their standard treatment for all of them so everybody who got treated was already on hydroxychloroquine and zinc where is this you might ask not the united states surely that is correct it was in spain so it's

[12:25]

that is correct it was in spain so it's a spanish study university study linked with the hospital i think and they studied 76 people and they divided them you know randomly roughly in half and they found that the ones who are treated with this calcifed yellow it's a they call it a downstream product of vitamin d3 so it's vitamin d3 ish but it's not the same vitamin vitamin d that you're getting over the counter all right so this is sort of a hyped up beefed up if you will medical grade vitamin d so some b i want to be as clear as possible you don't get that vitamin d just by getting a pill over the counter the pillow over the counter might be useful also but we're talking about a strengthened version here and they give it to people and uh so it it helped keep people

[13:25]

it it helped keep people keep people out of the icu by a factor of
of 25. it was 25 times more helpful than the people who didn't get it i might be saying that wrong but you know what i mean the difference was gigantic out of the control group exactly one person ended up in the icu in the uh i'm sorry the the group that got the vitamin d this special kind of vitamin d only one of them ended up in the icu there were 25 or 26 of them versus the half of the people in the other group half of them ended up in the icu so it went from half of them going to the icu to just one now it's only 76 people that's not enough it is enough to get a statistically meaningful result especially when the result is so

[14:25]

especially when the result is so different if the result had been closer and you could just say well mathematically there's a difference but it's only 76 people that's when you'd say ah it's only 76 people that's not nearly enough but if you get a difference of 25 times then you still need a bigger you still need a bigger um trial it is not a 100 confirmed because one trial that's even it's it's a well-designed trial but still 76 people that's not enough so it is not a hundred percent confirmed but uh and also there were some questions about whether the two random randomized groups were truly as random as they could have been because there were a few more obese people in the group that didn't get the d3 so but even if you were to correct for all of those differences is still an overwhelming advantage that was shown

[15:28]

overwhelming advantage that was shown in the study if it if it holds to be true now at the same time and by a coincidence there was another study an observational study now the observational study is not the good kind so it's not like the first kind i talked about which is the gold standard kind just needed more people that's that's his main problem but the observational study israeli group did this and they also found a strong strong correlation between how well people handle the covet and how much vitamin d they have in them so it found that if you add vitamin d levels that were near normal you did well if you didn't you did poorly now you're going to learn something about the difference between observational and randomized and it goes like this the observational study can't tell you which way the cause

[16:29]

study can't tell you which way the cause and effect worked because it because if you're just looking at what happened what you don't know is is it because they didn't have vitamin d and that's the reason they had poor outcomes or did they have poor outcomes because they were generally unhealthy and people who are generally unhealthy also have low vitamin d so is the vitamin d just a a coincidence of the fact that people who are unhealthy have bad outcomes or is there a causal thing the observational study won't tell you which to which direction it goes and you can't be entirely sure that you even have the correlation right if it's an observational study but because there is also a randomized clinical trial that one will tell you the
the direction a little bit more reliably because the groups were chosen randomly so if you choose

[17:30]

were chosen randomly so if you choose people randomly you are not already selecting the sickest people you know just accidentally because you know you're you're a human being so you maybe you treat the sickest people differently than the less sickest people so i'm not sure if i explained that well but the point is that there are two pretty strong indicators that vitamin d might be the silver bullet because if you could keep 98 of the people who would have gone into icu out of the icu if that holds 98 or some number like that
we're done because i don't think that this this what would you call it medicine chemical vitamin i'm not sure what it's called but i don't think it's in short supply as far as i know there's no shortage of it and it doesn't look like the kind of thing that people would necessarily hoard for preventative reasons we could

[18:31]

for preventative reasons we could probably get there with just sun and supplements but if this is true we could be done we could actually be done now it's going to take a little while for the these studies to work through the system people will critique them they could fall apart as other studies have fallen apart so don't get too excited but if the stock market doesn't go up by the end of today i'm going to be surprised because it's looking to me as though we're very close to maybe we have it
and that would be amazing now if this is true and if it turns out that the vitamin d is the big trick i would like to remind you that you should always look back and look at the people who predicted things correctly and keep that in mind for their next prediction is this somebody who got the last thing right and the thing before that right

[19:31]

right and the thing before that right or have they never been right about anything it's a good thing to know oh market is closed today darn it yes market's closed um so tomorrow we'll see what happens tomorrow um but i would like to remind you that the very first thing i ever said about coronavirus was to take vitamin d would you confirm that it must have been january-ish maybe it was the beginning of february that i was saying right out of the gate to take your vitamin d take your vitamin d now that was before i'd
i'd noticed any coincidences or correlations later a few months later i said to myself i wonder why some people are getting the coronavirus and the kova 19 really badly and some people aren't and i started noticing a pattern hey black people are getting it worse what is what is it that they have in common

[20:34]

is what is it that they have in common low vitamin d hey fat people people with
diabetes people in certain places and when you start do you start looking at all the groups that performed badly they had one thing in common kind of all were low vitamin d but again the correlation could be backwards you don't know so i had suggested months ago that vitamin d might be the the magic bullet can't say that it is yet
yet but we're getting close to it and if we get to that just remember who was right and who wasn't all right pete butterj tweeted that if you're used to voting republican so he's giving advice to republicans here years from now your grandkids will ask what you did in this moment and you'll have to tell them if you were a quote john mccain republican or a quote donald trump republican

[21:35]

or a quote donald trump republican and i tweeted back i'll tell them i stopped believing in fake news after the fine people hoax because here's the thing a lot of people didn't understand that when trump was talking about mccain and you know he said that i like people who didn't get captured a lot of people didn't know that was a joke one of the people who didn't know that was a joke um was uh
was listen what's her name daisy fuentes marx now you might recognize the name daisy fuentes as an actress so she's a an actress you'd recognize her from various things she's a blue checker and she tweeted out this talking about the mccain thing two plus years ago this was a story it's on tape meaning what trump said about mccain like many other insane things he said

[22:35]

like many other insane things he said that is blind as zombie followers i think that's me i think i'm one of them blind the zombie followers ignore but it can't be denied he called senator john mccain a loser for being a pow this is typical trump he's a dumb hate-filled liar and misogynist so when i saw that i commented back to daisy fuentes marks and i said trump told a chris rock joke about mccain because chris rock actually told that joke before trump did but but he didn't credit rock and that i put in parentheses the joke about preferring heroes who didn't get caught it was the same joke they just worded it differently and then i said you literally want to overthrow the government because you don't recognize a joke that's actually what happened this is somebody who wants to overthrow the government to the united states in other words get rid of trump at any

[23:36]

in other words get rid of trump at any cost in part because she doesn't recognize a joke and and so i said maybe the problem is on your end she responded as you might have might imagine this way bs circus with trump's trained monkeys again i think that's me i think i'm a trained monkey in this telling of it defending his stupidities what's wrong with you people again that would be me who cares if chris rock made a joke you see where this is going she has now acknowledged that the president told the joke she did not know until i explained it that it was a joke so now she has to change her objection from being a horrible thing he said to yeah it was a joke but it's still horrible and here's why and she says the president must know better

[24:37]

president must know better than to say something like that there are many better things to quote as president how do you fall for this crap now she also said that uh trump trump doesn't have any sense of humor so therefore it couldn't have been a joke earlier to which i pointed out that trump is the most successful stand-up comedian in the history of humanity because his rallies which always have gigantic audiences are literally stand up comedy he does it to
to entertain he intentionally says funny things and his audience laughs and they go there because they know he's going to say funny things that will make them laugh he is literally the most successful stand-up comedian in the history of civilization if you just look at the number of people who go in person to watch him say funny things and then laugh about it i mean he does other things but you have to admit the reason that the

[25:38]

you have to admit the reason that the crowd is so big is that he brings the entertainment and largely humor so how can you be an informed voter as daisy fuentes marx would like to believe she is i think without knowing that the president is not only somebody who doesn't know what a joke is he recognizes them but he's the most successful humorist of all time in terms of stand-up comedy you know in front of a live audience so when you catch somebody off guard do they change their mind when they get new information well i've never seen it happen but here's a finance guy somebody who's not an artist who's a must be a biden supporter
and he repeated the very fine people hoax as if it were true so as i often do if somebody thinks the fine people thing is true i go in and correct it and i said that's

[26:41]

i go in and correct it and i said that's the low information voter version i like to say that because it puts people on their heels if you tell somebody they're a low information voter and then you tell them what they missed it makes them pretty mad which is partly why i do it
and now who did he say he specifically included from the fine people group so i challenged him to go back and look at the transcript now i don't know if you did but here's the setup so it's somebody who's a anti-trump they're not an artist it's somebody from some kind of a finance background so it's somebody who knows critical thinking and risk management and i've just told them that a central part of their belief system this fine people thing didn't happen and i just i told him where to look to confirm it now i don't know if he looked or he just knew that if he looked he would find out he was wrong but here was his rant his reaction he tweets me and he says i see scott adams says has gone from

[27:42]

i see scott adams says has gone from drawing comics to randomly commenting on twitter defending trump's racist behavior and thinks i'm a low
low information voter okay so what did i tell you it's it's always sarcasm so the artist will just say stuff that's just bad crazy and you that's how you can tell their artist like uh you said that's not even logical but when the people who actually do understand reason and logic and risk management stuff like that like this gentleman once you show them that they've been duped by their own news sources which is what's happened these are smart people by and large smart person who has been fooled by his news sources because he thinks there's still news a lot of people who don't know that that any attempt to display the news in the objective way that's not really current day

[28:44]

that's not really current day that's a little bit ten years ago and and five years ago there was a big change so look for the look for the sarcasm tell um
um so one of the things that happened this week is that most of the citizens of california became pro-nuclear power now they don't all know that they're pro nuclear power but they will be because we don't have electricity in california all day long like you other people do and it's because of bad energy management because we close down a nuclear pound plant we're going to close close down or have some some gas facility so we've mismanaged everything and i think that a lot of californians are going to learn for the first time

[29:45]

are going to learn for the first time okay okay i'm a little bit desperate now because i do need electricity to live so can i get there with solar panels no what would work and then i think nuclear is a guarantee at this point so we can stop selling nuclear i think it's sold we still have to convince people not convince because that that imagines that you know you're not using facts some people need to be educated that what nuclear energy is in the year 2020 is
is by far the safest type of energy sources not even close [Music] so
michael cohen uh so there's there's a new cnn trick that you're seeing a lot of so cnn will and other other disreputable news places they'll

[30:45]

other disreputable news places they'll do a headline that'll say something like trump bites the head off a puppy and you'll think yourself my god trump bit the head off a puppy and then you'll read the article and there'll be nothing like that it'll be
be trump gently tapped a puppy on the head and said good doggie and you'll look at the title again and it'll say trump bit the head off a dog and then you'll say what's happening and then you read the article trump gently pet a dog and you think to yourself how is this even possible that the headline or even sometimes the theme that they introduce in the first paragraph or two like what the article is about has no resemblance to the information in the article here's the best example you probably saw the story that trump allegedly hired a an obama alike

[31:46]

allegedly hired a an obama alike to be filmed in his office getting insulted by trump and then fired you saw that right you saw you've probably all seen this story that trump had such a bad feeling about obama that for his own entertainment and no other reason he hired a look-alike just so he could insult somebody to his face who looked like obama that was the story right but then you read the story and it goes on to say that it was the the thing was filmed as a humorous little skit that was going to play for the rnc but i guess they didn't use it so that is completely different from not only the headline but how they introduced it when they start talking about it in the body of the story and you have to read like halfway down before you get to the part where they say
say oh it was actually made for the our rnc it had nothing to do with trump needing to you know fire obama

[32:49]

trump needing to you know fire obama for personal reasons so you're seeing a lot of that the other cnn trick nancy pelosi described as the wrap up so there's a video of pelosi actually describing this technique as a political dirty trick while he's using the technique so there is two different times but you can see here describing the dirty trick and then you can watch as as the democrats use that dirty trick and uh the the way that works is that some politician will make a claim and by itself it may not be persuasive then you get somebody to write a story about the politician who made a claim and now you have two sources it's really just the one person who made a claim but now it looks like there's also a reporter who dug into it and is backing the claim but really they just talked to the first person now the other media will do the story

[33:52]

now the other media will do the story about somebody's reaction to the story so now you've got just one stupid claim with no evidence turned into a story about the stupid claim that's two sources and now a bunch of the media starts writing about it and saying different things all based on the one source that's now credible and suddenly it's national headlines and and you're dealing with the well we're not reporting it's true exactly which is the dodge they use we're not saying it's true we're saying the allegation is out there and that we asked this politician so it looks slow hey looks like they have a new feature on periscope where it will put you back into the thing you got kicked out of which would be a great feature yes so i lost the connection there for a moment but periscope now has a feature that allows me to get back into the same periscope which is amazing i hope that's what's happening all right let me go on um as we're watching the black lives matter uh protest etc and as we're thinking

[34:54]

uh protest etc and as we're thinking more deeply about everything around there i would like to suggest that the only standard we should compare people is by similar strategies now maybe similar starting places you know in other words uh let's let's compare a poor white kid to a poor black kid so let's say they're they're both starting you know from a deep hole what if they use the same strategy to succeed let's say they both pay attention in school they stay in trouble they stay off drugs they find a mentor to things that would be obvious good life strategy if you were to compare then the outcomes of let's say the poor black kid who did everything right strategy wise to the poor white kid who also did everything right how would that look which one would get the the job which one would be doing better in 10 years if you're not looking at that you're just involved in something that isn't helpful

[35:54]

involved in something that isn't helpful which is what black lives matter is it's completely unhelpful and so unhelpful that at this point american airlines said that they would allow their their people to wear a black lives matter pin when they're working but they would not be allowed to wear let's say a pro-trump pin or something like that i think the difference is trump is political whereas black lives matter is more of a social good would be their thinking but here's what's different just because of the protests and everything we've learned about black lives matter being a marxist organization and and what we've seen in terms of their actual actions the members actions you can say now in september of 2020 you can say out loud without getting canceled that blm the organization is a racist organization now i think i would have been canceled for that

[36:54]

for that not too many months ago but now it's sort of seeped into the understanding of what's going on to the point where you really can just say it out loud hey american airlines if you let your employees wear a blm pin i would personally consider that racist now i get that you could disagree with me and i get that you could say no no we're just trying to make things less racist that's the whole point of black lives matter but would you would you accept that everybody gets to have an opinion my personal opinion is that the black lives matter movement was well intentioned by most people not necessarily the organizers but most people involved had good intentions for all the all the right reasons but nonetheless it has evolved and fairly recently into i would say a straight-up racist organization so if you're not looking at comparing people by life and strategies

[37:56]

comparing people by life and strategies you are just being a racist because if you compare people who have exactly the same strategy and you found out they still had different outcomes well there's your racism because once you've eliminated you know the the what you do with your life as being different and you've you've you really got apples and apples at that point if there's still a big difference then i'd have to say the presumption is racism i'd like to know how big that is but you can't know until you compare people by strategies um here's an idea for you oh well let me just mention this uh i think it was in a molly hemingway article uh mentioned that there's a writer for the washington post named dan balls dan balz spelled b-a-l-z now i've never heard of dan balz i've heard of his brother harry

[38:58]

of his brother harry harry bowls um and i didn't really have anything else to say about that you just should have a brother named harry all right um how about this for a tax plan are you ready uh so you've heard every kind of tax plan in the world for from tax the rich to flat tax to that to every every other idea but you haven't heard this one so this is my very own invention it goes like this suppose you based the tax rate on the top one percent on the outcomes of the bottom 10 percent ah so here in in rough terms without working out the details it would look like this your top one percent has a tax rate of x but if the bottom 10 percent could let's say
say increase their average income

[39:59]

increase their average income by twenty percent that the top one percent get to cut their taxes a little bit just a little bit and if they can get let's say more of the the bottom 20 percent to graduate from school if they can get unemployment down to some really low level so the point would be that the top one percent are not like everybody else what what bill gates can do or a you know any of the billionaires just name a billionaire jeff jeff bezos what a bezos or a gates can do in the world is so much bigger than what you and i can do they can actually change they can change society by focusing on the right things and pushing the right levers so wouldn't you like to see that the top one percent and again we're just talking in approximates here wouldn't you like to see the top one percent have a self-interest in helping the bottom 10 percent

[41:00]

in helping the bottom 10 percent directly because it would lower their own taxes if you get incentives right you get everything right if you know how humans work if you say to a billionaire i can lower your taxes by two percent but you could have to figure out some way without the government's help to fix all this other stuff figure out how to get the health care for well maybe that's it figure out how to get health care for everybody do whatever you want but figure out how to get health care for everybody if you get that your tax rate goes down two percent just the top one percent so this is not a well thought out idea but i like the idea of the the most successful having it as their personal burden to make the least successful at least you know get up to you know the middle range if they can um there's uh some polls pulling numbers out of rasmussen

[42:00]

out of rasmussen showing a trend which i think is going to be more pronounced so wisconsin after after all the recent troubles it looks like um trump has a slightly not statistically important but close to a tie and a slight lead in men
men so if the only people of voting in wisconsin were men trump would win but he's getting killed on women so where he's got 48 percent of men
men he's only got 39 percent of women so that's you know big difference but here's the interesting part according to rasmussen he's got support of 26 percent of blacks and uh 40 47 of other other meaning neither white nor black so those would be more minorities so he's got 47 percent of non-white people and 26 percent of blacks are

[43:02]

people and 26 percent of blacks are supporting trump it looks like the black men i think are going to trump i feel like that's what's happening now we'll see but it's starting to look as though the democratic party is becoming a party dominated by and run by women just as black lives matter is dominated by and effectively run by women now if you don't think that women are running black lives matter just look at the street action it's usually a woman on a bullhorn and there's a very funny video i forget i don't don't know which city was it was probably portland or maybe rochester and there was a video uh from last night i think there was a black woman in her car and she gets stopped by a bunch of protesters now from the camera angle that i had couldn't see everybody but the people standing directly in front of her car and blocking her from going wherever she

[44:02]

and blocking her from going wherever she needed to go might have been home looked like they were all white so they look like white supporters of black lives matter and they're blocking a car of an actual black person so all these like fake larpers are standing in front of the car blocking an actual black woman who just wants to get
get home or gets to wherever she wants to go somebody says it's north portland and what do you think happened so here was the competition there's no didn't look like there was any law enforcement anywhere so it's one lone black woman who's telling these people to get out of the way
way quite forcefully and a bunch of white black lives matter people refusing because they just didn't want anybody to get through well if you were born yesterday you might say to yourself huh sounds like a fair competition
maybe it'll be a standoff no it wasn't a standoff because in the hierarchy of the black

[45:04]

because in the hierarchy of the black lives matter world a black woman is the top of the pile a black woman outranks a black man and black people in general outrank the white supporters of black lives matter and i think everybody would agree with that right that that's the the rank which has sort of evolved and i'm not arguing that there's anything wrong with that you know if it sounded like i said and that's a big mistake or something i'm not saying anything like that i'm just observing i'm simply observing that the black lives matter movement is primarily female dominated as is the democratic party in general not that there aren't plenty of men but those men are subservient to the women who are sort of running the show and you're you're actually seeing a trend that i predicted a while ago which is um has a lot to do with how the genders

[46:04]

has a lot to do with how the genders you know relate to each other and who wants to be in charge really i would say the republicans are more um more practical about that that is to say i don't think the republicans have a sense of who needs to be in charge i think if you've got the talent you're in charge you know if you work hard you're in charge if you don't you're not i think the republican view is who cares it just doesn't seem to be important and the democrat view is oh it matters it matters all right that is what i wanted to say today
um if you haven't watched this somebody somebody tweeted and i retweeted it that their favorite entertainment is watching the police take back a street because there's a technique that the police use that i don't think i'd seen before which is interesting

[47:04]

is interesting when the when the big group of police form a line and they they they go at once and sort of attack the crowd and push it back there's a thing the police do and i don't know again i don't know if this is part training or it's just a thing that they do but they'll sometimes just push over a protester like just push them off their feet and have them fall backwards and then the protester will get up again and they'll just push him down if you haven't seen the one that i tweeted it's just hilarious every time you watch it because you see this one police officer pushed the protester down and the protester jumps right up and sort of gets starts coming at the guy who pushed him and then the guy pulls down i think it's a taser you look like a taser and he starts to like tase the guy but before he can his his buddy another law enforcement guy runs right in front of him and just pushes that guy down again so it's hilarious to watch it's funnier watching it than in the telling all right that's all i got for now um somebody says trump approval levels

[48:07]

um somebody says trump approval levels back to pre-covet that's that's a big problem for the democrats isn't it if this vitamin d thing is true and it's looking good we're done if it's true we're done somebody's prompting me to talk about jake tapper so there's a story the story goes that uh jake tapper um talked to somebody who was thinking of running against a democrat that he liked or something and he talked them out of it and so the the person the subject person ran in a different race so that the person allegedly the jake tapper liked a democrat would win in his race here's the thing so jake has denied it when when asked directly did you do this he said now there's other reporting that said yes this almost certainly falls into that category of

[49:07]

category of it sort of depends subjectively you know if i think if you were if you heard all the conversations yourself which you can't it would probably be closer to a conversation about the pros and cons which is different from you should drop out of the race and save my friend so i don't feel like i can take sides on this one because you would have to hear all the conversation to have a good opinion on that and i haven't so i won't do what the fake news does which is have an opinion on something you couldn't possibly know the details of what really happened all right
somebody calls this my encore i think you're right um
no it didn't blah blah blah yeah i'm not too interested in the story frankly oh let's talk about cardi b cardi b

[50:10]

oh let's talk about cardi b cardi b and candace so cardi b has become interested in politics you know she interviewed joe biden you might also know that candace owens had some public back and forth with her and
and candace suggested that baby cardi b should educate herself on the political stuff because candace notes that she seems underinformed now i will echo what can what canada said which is i respect i tend to respect any artist who succeeds so i'm not a big fan of music and i i couldn't even tell you any song that cardi b had ever done i don't think i would recognize it if i heard it i just don't listen to much music but that said objectively speaking she's sensationally successful so if somebody is sensationally successful with their art i say that's good art it's good because

[51:12]

i say that's good art it's good because people wanted it it's good because people bought it you know there's nothing else you have to discuss art is not objective if a whole bunch of people want to listen to your art you're an artist end of story so cardi b i have maximum respect for her as an artist but i will differ a little bit with candace and maybe not even much at all maybe not at all but i like the fact that she's involved in politics i like it because there's nothing about her that suggests that she's done learning right there's nothing about her cardi b that would suggest uh she doesn't want to you know round out her knowledge of politics is so she's open to you know making this a continual you know sort of a system in which she's getting more informed as she goes i say more of it
it let me let me give you this thought

[52:12]

let me let me give you this thought i've talked about it would be good to have more than a debate like on tv because the debates on tv are too limited the people have they don't have enough time you got to get to the next question you basically just doesn't work but what also would not work is giving your politicians all the time that they want to debate and here's why it wouldn't work the politicians will just lie both of them doesn't matter who they are both sides will just sit there and in the in the context of a debate they wouldn't say a single thing that was true because the truth doesn't work as well so if you're trying to win a debate that's televised you're just going to lie through your teeth because it works better and i thought to myself how would you like to see a debate between cardi b and candace because presumably candace would be filling in a lot of blanks you know just background knowledge that

[53:13]

you know just background knowledge that would be good to have to have an opinion and you could watch that happen in real time with two people who actually want good things to happen to the black community into the country because don't you believe that both cardi b and candace are genuinely interested in the well-being of the of the country and i'm i think it goes without saying interested in the well-being of the black community it goes without saying i would love to see them debate and if you say to yourself no no scott because cardi b might not know as much as some pundit might not know as much about politics as some professional i say that's okay because the pundit and the professional are just liars they're professional liars i don't need to see a debate between two professional liars but if you put candace and cardi b in front of the camera and just just turn it on and just step back

[54:14]

just turn it on and just step back and watch what happens you're gonna end up smarter because you're gonna hear something from canvas that you've never heard before and you're gonna say really you're going to look it up and you're going to find out that's a thing so watching candace let's say respectfully because i think she would do it respectfully respectfully fill in the blanks for cardi b would be really good that wouldn't even be just worth watching that would be the best thing i could watch this month not counting the biden riots which are very entertaining so let's do it who's with me wouldn't you like to see that tell me the truth you would like to see that and it would be better than watching the politicians because there would just be liars you know i i don't think candace

[55:14]

you know i i don't think candace i don't think has she ever been accused of lying i mean i'm sure everybody's been accused of lying but i would i would trust candace to come with the truth if anything she said wasn't 100 accurate it wouldn't be because she intentionally lied cardi b i see no reason to think she wouldn't be completely honest i would love to see two honest people have a debate how often do you see that two honest people who actually just want the world to be better that would be the best debate of the whole year hands down so let's let's get that going i'd love to see it all right that's all for now talk to you later
