[Music] hey everybody come on in come on in do you know what it's time for it's time for wait a minute i'm getting a message oh
oh oh really okay all right well there would be a little change there's a little bit of a change today i've been told that the simultaneous sip is no longer allowed and i'm not questioning it it's been replaced with a new pledge a pledge of allegiance to the official narrative and i'm hoping you can join me in this pledge i'd like all of you to join along let me read it to you first and then we'll do the actual pledge you can find this in my twitter feed at uh today at uh 6 41am this would be several tweets down and if you'd like to join in the pledge
of allegiance to the official narrative it goes like this

[1:09]

it goes like this i pledge allegiance to the official narrative and i affirm that our election systems are the only digital systems that are 100 immune from hacking i further affirmed that there there was no election fraud of any kind because we are not allowed to check a man and a woman so that's the pledge please join me now this will be replacing the simultaneous sip at least for this morning maybe forever because this is more important than anything else you're doing
stan please please stand you don't want to sit for this i need some respect please stand for the pledge of allegiance to the official narrative put your hand over your heart it's optional but i think it's respectful and i'll lead you now in the pledge i pledge allegiance to the official narrative and i affirm that our election systems are the only digital systems that are 100 percent immune from hacking

[2:13]

that are 100 percent immune from hacking i further affirmed that there was no election fraud of any kind because we are not allowed to check amen and a woman
and now you may take the sip which is the wait a minute i'm getting another message i can't say that word
it's just called the official sip now i used to call this something else but we don't use that term anymore this is just the official narrative sip i don't know if it's going to taste the same honestly but you can try it let's do it together see if it tastes as good as the simultaneous sip i'm a little worried
oh my god did you taste that at home

[3:14]

did you taste that at home oh
god i'm throwing this cup away
i don't know what got into that but it's bitter as hell
well let's talk about the news that we're allowed to talk about um there's a big up outbreak of coronavirus in china i guess beijing is locking down pretty hard and here's the question that i ask you about
are there still people saying they can't hear
i i think i'll just delete all the people who say they can't hear seriously are you actually saying that you can't hear on youtube that's not real is it
all right uh your mic on youtube is off huh

[4:17]

my microphone is on my microphone is plugged in yes it is
unbelievable i'm actually apparently i have technical problems on uh on youtube all right youtube we're gonna turn you off then goodbye
alright so youtube's dead we'll just periscope this one
hello periscope too bad youtube for whatever reason doesn't work today but uh i'm sure i'm sure we can carry on all right let's talk about china uh so they've got an outbreak and here's the thing i wonder was there any chance that wasn't gonna happen it doesn't it doesn't feel like there was any chance that china wouldn't have a major outbreak

[5:18]

a major outbreak no matter what they had done uh so this is the least surprising thing in the world but it also makes me wonder if our intelligence agencies ever thought to themselves i wonder if we should just spread a little coronavirus around beijing now i don't think they did that but do you think they talked about it because i got a feeling they talked about it that would just be part of the job i would think uh twitter stock is down about ten percent or nine percent when i just checked a minute ago full disclosure i do own twitter stock do you uh do you have a problem with that so let me tell you why i own twitter stock i i like to own stock in a company that's so powerful it can ban the president of the united states and here's the good part

[6:18]

here's the good part and make its competitor go away just go away twitter just did that just banned the president of the united states and then made their competition parlor just go away i mean i don't think they did it directly but you know parlor went away so
so i don't give investment advice and and if you had bought twitter on my advice if i had given it i didn't give this advice but if i told you last week to buy it you'd be down 10 so don't take any investment advice on specific companies from me that would be a bad idea okay that said let me give you general investment advice and then you can apply it to whatever company you want but it's general advice not about twitter if you find a company that's so powerful it can ban the president and get rid of its competition in the same week that's probably a good investment

[7:22]

take a you know take any of the big big tech companies that have a dominant dominant foothold right now there's nothing there's almost nothing that you can do those companies are pretty well entrenched so investment wise any company that has that much power looks pretty good so
so i'm just going to tell you i won't be selling my twitter stock um
um because nothing changed from the moment i bought it one of the things that uh i think it was warren buffett teaches is if you buy a stock don't sell it until the reason you bought it in the first place changes now of course will be exceptions to that but as a general rule the reason i bought twitter is that there's no competition that's why i bought it i bought it because there isn't really any competition and did that change nope nope still no competition not really

[8:23]

nope still no competition not really so
so i'll hold on to that even though you don't like that um so
so let's talk about the uh conspiracy theory rumors that the president has or will sign the something called the insurrection act which i don't know the details but i guess it would be like a little like martial law e that he could employ the military to stay in power or something like that let me tell you this if there's anybody watching this who believes that the president has or would or will sign something called an insurrection act
act remember what i'm telling you right now i'm telling you there's a 100 chance that's not true not a 99 chance 100 chance that's not true now
now wait a few weeks and then review remember that i told you this if it turns out i'm right

[9:25]

if it turns out i'm right i'm right look at what you believed and then look what i told you and then see which one of us got this right if you got it wrong and you were sure that you believe the internet that there's some kind of insurrection act being signed
just remember i told you it wasn't true so that the next time there's a question about hey is this thing true or not you should at the very least check with me first or other people that you trust i'm not the only person telling you that the insurrection act thing is not true look at anybody else who's telling you that i mean i haven't looked at the you know i have not checked let's say mike cernovich's twitter feed i don't know what he said about it but
but i can guess i can guess that he's saying it's not real have it you know you can name five other people that you know on twitter

[10:27]

people that you know on twitter check their twitter feeds if they're talking about this they will tell you it's not real and these are people that you trust so just keep keep track and when you are wrong about this later look to the people who are right for your future opinions there is a bad case of what i will call qds instead of tds which is trump derangement system syndrome the q phenomenon has created a cognitive dissonance trigger the likes of which we haven't seen since 2016. i told you when trump got elected that people's brains would just break because they wouldn't be able to hold in their head everything they believed to be true at the same time he gets elected because that would be so completely different from everything they believed about reality crack their brains couldn't hold the two conflicting thoughts wait a minute everything i think about trump if that's true

[11:29]

trump if that's true he couldn't possibly get oh yeah he did get elected so that's what triggers cognitive dissonance to to uh thoughts that can't be held at the same time so you need some weird like a hallucination to paper together the two thoughts now their hallucination was russia collusion so that was how they papered over the fact that trump couldn't get elected but he did ah there must have been some russian collusion now the q people are in the same situation the q people are finding out that everything that they've ever been told about q isn't happening so they are learning that that deeply held beliefs really strongly held beliefs clearly are not true because now we'll observe that there's no mass arrests of the deep state will observe that trump didn't have some plan he's implementing will observe that there is no insurrection act so after you've observed all of the things

[12:29]

after you've observed all of the things that you believe for four years i guess in cases all of it not being true what would be the predictable outcome of their minds well it's this setup is unmistakable they they have a belief it will be violated in the most aggressive way because reality is not going to serve up anything close to what they imagined was going to happen and they will have to invent a hallucination like the like the russia collusion hoax they will need to paper over this impossibility that q is right at the same time that none of it happens and what will that hallucination be the hallucination will be something you can't even imagine because did you think the russia collusion thing would i mean that just came out of nowhere right i mean i'm sure it was part of a plan by some people to to put forth that idea but you didn't see it coming

[13:30]

but you didn't see it coming and whatever happens to the people with the q brains and their cognitive dissonance which is going to be extreme now it's going to be really extreme you don't know what that's going to do but a whole lot of people are going to be
be flipping out um so i don't if you're just joining i don't know what was wrong with the youtube feed but people said the sound didn't work so i just turned it off um
then somebody says why is twitter suspending all accounts mentioning q because they can they can you know did i tell you that the reason that i own twitter stock is that they're so powerful they can basically decide what free speech is now remember the exception to free speech used to be you can't yell fire in a crowded theater now the reason for that is that that would be dangerous people would try to run out of the theater and they'd trample each other and if there if

[14:32]

trample each other and if there if there's not a fire it's pretty bad example of using speech but now we've added to that example you can't yell fire in the crowded theater and this is not a joke there's no hyperbole here we've added to that example you can't question a an election after it's certified now i suppose you could question it before it's certified but after it's certified that's our new exception to freedom of speech for all practical purposes right now uh by the way somebody said twitter's down 6.4 percent now so it started down 10 and now it's down 6 percent do you know what these smart investors just said to themselves are you serious if somebody's going to give this stock to be at a 10 discount i'll take it six percent discount on twitter stock today i hate to tell you but it's a bargain no

[15:32]

i hate to tell you but it's a bargain no i don't take that back because that sounds like a stock recommendation reverse that there were there were no stock recommendations in this live stream you should not listen to me for stock recommendations all right
so uh
uh let's see the proud boy leader nicholas oakes ox so apparently he shared an image of himself on social media smoking a cigarette in the capitol last week and he was arrested in hawaii but he's claiming that he took part in the raid as a professional journalist i don't think that's going to go too far but it's good that he has some kind of a defense i suppose
don't you wonder what he was thinking when the head of the proud boys were standing in the capitol building smoking a cigarette and taking a selfie did he think that that was going to be fine

[16:32]

that was going to be fine what did he think yeah what do you think somebody said amazon is down today but i wouldn't worry about amazon's future either they've got a pretty good situation going there so i just have to wonder what was in the heads of the people who did this now some of them were murderous killers we've learned some of them were just patriots but
but i would love to know what was going through the head of somebody who thought they could smoke a cigarette in the capitol after you know getting in the way they got in taking a picture of themselves and thinking that would be fine i guess they thought it would be fine what the hell was wrong with that um we've all now seen i think you've all seen the video the horrendous video of the protesters dragging a police officer out of a doorway and beating him with american flag and other blunt objects we see that police officer

[17:35]

blunt objects we see that police officer laying motionlessly on the ground after being beaten some of you are disagreeing about the fact check about whether he died or or that somebody else died or was that actually showing him being killed or just injured so there's a little question there but here's what i said about it once you've seen the video of the crowd either killing or attempting to kill it was at least attempted murder it was either murder or attempted murder one of those after seeing that i would say that the the law enforcement officer who opened fire and shot shot the woman who was coming through the broken window through the neck and killed her i would say
say he's that was a clean shoot now i say that because if somebody is dragging police officers out and beating them in an organized crowd way and you're a police officer and that crowd is ten feet away from you and

[18:36]

crowd is ten feet away from you and heading toward you and they've just beaten to death or attempted to beat to death a police officer the same job you have and they're right there do you have the ability to shoot the answer is yes yeah you do if somebody just murdered one of your kind and it's the same you know crowd composition it's not the same exact people but the composition for the same reason on the same day yeah you can shoot the first person through the through the class now on twitter when i said this people said to me scott there's no evidence that the cop who did the shooting was even aware that this other cop had been murdered or almost murdered whichever it was you know in a different area in the capitol to which i say that makes no difference why does that matter why does it matter if the cop who fired

[19:37]

if the cop who fired was aware that somebody in his job had just been beaten to death or near death why does that matter because he made the right decision now whether he knew about that or didn't know about it doesn't matter if he knew about it or didn't know about it he made the right decision because we know about it the fact that you and i know about it now
now means that he made the right decision he was operating in the fog of war he had a decision to make that put himself at great personal risk because you know if you take the shot you personally are at great personal risk and
and he did it in the fog of war not knowing if it was the right thing or the wrong thing but he took a personal risk in his effort to protect the vice president et cetera and in retrospect he was right because he perceived the situation as a immediate deadly threat

[20:38]

immediate deadly threat one assumes he did i mean i can't read his mind but one assumes he did because he took the shot and it looked like a controlled intelligent thought i was shot
so it doesn't matter doesn't matter if he knew about the other violence they were a violent crowd exactly the way
way his treatment of them would suggest they were so i would say that that police officer who was i think suspended when you get suspended there's a cloud over you that there's an assumption a default assumption that maybe you did something wrong there's still a maybe but doesn't it feel a little bit more like we think you did something wrong i feel as if the suspension or whatever they've done to him should be immediately reversed because based on what we've all seen the clear default assumption is that it was a an appropriate shooting tragedy the woman who got shot i want to say

[21:38]

the woman who got shot i want to say this as clearly as possible didn't deserve to get shot so the individual who got shot we all agree should not have been shot but the larger decision of how do you stop a crowd yeah that looked like good police work to me now could it be that he did actually do something that's illegal or inappropriate and he should be punished maybe but i haven't seen it i haven't seen anything like that i feel as though the appropriate treatment for that law enforcement officer is to give him the benefit of a doubt until there's some evidence which i haven't seen that he acted inappropriately now somebody else on twitter said to be scott there is never a reason to shoot into a crowd especially when the people that you can see visibly are not armed with deadly weapons do you do you believe that that there's never a reason to shoot into a crowd well i said to the person who tweeted

[22:40]

well i said to the person who tweeted i like i think you should tell your wife that if there's an angry crowd surrounding your home that you will not shoot into the crowd you would let them come into the home and kill your wife that would be your choice but i want to tell you that your wife might be interested to know that if i were protecting my wife and let's say an angry crowd that i believed had weapons and meant me harm was surrounding the house i'm just going to put my strategy on it if an angry crowd of men women and children surround my house and i have a belief that they're going to do harm to my wife i will slay every one of them men women and children now
now that's just me now this this assumes that that i know the danger is real but apparently this person wants to tell his wife that he would let her die at the hands of the crowd

[23:40]

at the hands of the crowd because there is no reason to shoot into a crowd
i guess that's one way to look at it but my wife's gonna be alive and yours won't so
so you might want to explain that to her um
um of course i would go to jail in either case but at least my wife would be alive um so here's a three lev three layers down of reality on this story about lynnwood apparently he's been banned from twitter as a lot of people have been uh for for calling for mike pence to face a firing squad he actually said that now
now there are some bands that look uh unreasonable to me but this isn't one of them if you call for the vice president to be the subject of a firing squad when the vice president has done literally nothing wrong

[24:41]

nothing wrong literally nothing wrong yeah that might be reason to ban you from something you know uh i suppose the free speech extremist would still say yeah but even so well i don't know yeah i don't at least it wouldn't bother me if somebody got banned for something like that but here's the three layers down analysis on the top layer it just looks like a lawyer who is a little bit crazy right and then you look at sydney powell and you say oh looks like trump got two lawyers or a little bit crazy a little bit crazy that's what it looks like
but is there more to the story i will tell you that early on in this saga when we first heard the the wilder allegations from linwood and from cindy powell that the people who i know who know the most about how the world works i'm being very vague

[25:43]

the world works i'm being very vague here the people who know the most about how the world works interpret that any way you want but you should assume that these are people who have been part of that world right not people who imagine what it's like but people who have been part of things you know let's just say people have been involved in real things that maybe you're not aware of when this first came up they said to me that uh it's almost certainly a disinformation campaign meaning that these two lawyers linwood and sydney powell may have been identified as people who would believe conspiracy theories because that is something that you could figure out you could figure out from past record who is likely to believe a wild story my concern is that they were identified as people likely to believe a wild story and that they may have been fed one

[26:44]

and that they may have been fed one for the purpose of discrediting them and
and that looks exactly like what happened and i need to tell you that i was told that was happening from the start and that this has every as every tell for being some kind of either people who are in current intelligence agencies or have been involved or have worked with them or have some kind of deep experience in disinformation as a profession they appear to be behind feeding these conspiracy theories to these lawyers but
but i'm not i'm not forgiving the lawyers i believe that they might have been targeted because they might have been perceived as people who would believe things so i'm just speculating i don't have any direct evidence of any of that i'm just saying that people told me this was what was happening in the beginning and there are people who would know

[27:44]

and there are people who would know and um but well they would know just by the tells not because they had personal information and
and that's what it looks like to me to me it looks like a disinformation campaign that was 100 successful we'll never know that's just speculation all right um
so apparently the company cumulus media which i guess is the employer for uh mark levin ben shapiro dan bongino etc has told its on-air personalities this is a report i don't know if it's true i don't think you could assume this is true just because it's in the news but
um and just because it's in the news so
so by the way i'll uh i'll play back the uh youtube and see if if the audio was okay if it is okay then i'll just never listen to anybody who says there's an

[28:44]

listen to anybody who says there's an audio problem i'll just you know just pour through it but every now and then there actually is an audio problem so it's confusing um
um all right so what do you think about the fact that uh cumulus media is telling their on-air people allegedly that's the story i don't know how truthful this is that they can't talk about certain topics
so over here i'm seeing people say that was the audio was fine and other people saying there was a problem uh sounded like room audio so it probably sounded like my microphone wasn't working i'll look into that all right um
so here's my take on what trump did and i i feel as though uh just putting it in the cleanest simple form has some value so you already know my opinion but putting it simply helps and it's like this

[29:45]

it simply helps and it's like this uh
uh there's nothing wrong with inspiring people to protest against an election result which you think was non-transparent so if all you're doing is saying hey i think we should look into this reelection the result and it was a peaceful if it had been a peaceful protest nobody would have a problem with that um
um but
but and
and but we'd also all agree that inciting an insurrection would be a bad thing so i think there are two things we all agree on peaceful protest over an election result and transparency of the election probably all good as long as it doesn't turn violent
and at the same time we would all agree that directly inciting an insurrection especially if you're a sitting president would be really bad especially if there was no election irregularity

[30:46]

irregularity but here's the thing that distinction requires the public to know the difference but what if the public or too many of the public it doesn't have to be the whole public but what if too many of the public can't tell the difference between being asked to do a for a safe non-violent protest and a an insurrection because that's what happened there were apparently there were a number of people who couldn't tell the difference between yeah let's go protest and our voice will be heard and let's have a violent insurrection against the president or against the vice president i guess now
now if the public could tell the difference between those two things a peaceful protest inspiration versus inspiring a violent takeover if all of the public knew that those were different things then everything the president did was fine

[31:47]

fine he didn't do a thing wrong if the public could tell the difference but they can't they can't tell the difference apparently there are plenty of people who think go protest means a signal to overthrow the government now should trump have known that should trump have known that saying the right thing which is go protest the right thing according to his opinion could should trump have known that doing the right thing let's go protest you assume it's peaceful would lead to the wrong thing some people thinking that they should go do bad things and the answer is i think so i think trump should have known that the public would not be smart enough to make that distinction and that it would cause trouble but here's the problem can we ever have street protests again because is anybody telling that the

[32:48]

because is anybody telling that the leaders of black lives matter that they should step down because their protest led to some some members of the group being bad actors and doing bad things and people got hurt so are we asking the same thing of black lives matter that their leaders should take responsibility for all the the danger because wouldn't you say that black lives matter could know with a hundred percent certainty certainly after the first few nights they could know with complete certainty that continuing this straight protest would lead to more damage and death and injury of course they would so why are they not just as on the spot as trump is in both cases they would know if black lives matter had said yeah we're going to be peaceful but you know uh protests that make you uncomfortable or the good ones and you know nothing really good ever happened without a little bit of violence

[33:50]

without a little bit of violence you know if black lives matter leaders are saying stuff like that are they not fully responsibility for every violent thing that came out of the uh and of what was mostly peaceful same standard i just think you have to apply the same standard that said if the leaders of black lives matter had been president of the united states and they had encouraged what would be let's say a a justified protest justified in the sense that there are real concerns about police action against black citizens so no matter what you think about the actual data or what you think about that it's a real concern right and i don't ignore something that is that much of a concern by my fellow citizens even if i think you know i would i would look at it a little differently the concern itself is fully worth the consideration right because that's just respect it wouldn't matter who it was or what

[34:50]

it wouldn't matter who it was or what their complaint was if they're really really bothered by it to the point where living in this country is a problem i think you got to address it so if black lives matter leaders had been president and said hey go do some peaceful protests uh and then people got killed because they're not all peaceful some bad elements will join what happens if you keep doing it and then the next night you say yeah go do it again and somebody gets hurt again and then the third night you say yeah go do it again somebody gets hurt again well i think you would ask the the in this hypothetical imaginary situation you would ask the head of black lives matter who in my imaginary situation is also the president you'd ask them to step down wouldn't you but here's the bigger question now that we know that every kind of street protest will inevitably be
be let's say will be taken over by the bad elements

[35:51]

will be taken over by the bad elements if you had a protest tomorrow there was a street protest with lots of energy it wouldn't matter what the topic was bad people would join it they'd say hey we can hide in this crowd we'll break some windows we'll hurt some people that we think should be hurt so
so maybe we've reached a point where we if you have social media that works we don't really have social media that works at this point i would argue but in terms of free speech but maybe we should just take it as a standard that if you're an organizer of a protest and somebody dies you're responsible because that's what we told trump and i don't disagree i don't disagree that trump has responsibility for the deaths in the capital i think he has responsibility but i would like to take that concept and apply it to everybody i think the black lives matter leaders have responsibility for the deaths that came out of those protests

[36:52]

protests now you might say the benefit of the protest is in the long run is greater greater than the immediate deaths and i would listen to that argument but you still have to take responsibility for the deaths because if you do something you know will result in death
if you know it or at least injury if you know it do you think if anti-far brings i don't know let's say antifa brings a thousand people to a city do you think they don't know people are going to get hurt of course they do of course they do so
so i would just want to be consistent in the standard either the leaders are always blamed for the deaths or never but you got to pick one and i'd be i guess i'd be okay picking either one right
somebody says kamala harris encouraged writers she should be impeached next i think that's completely fair

[37:54]

think that's completely fair so people are saying that kamala harris had encouraged the black lives matter protesters and even said things that sounded to me like she encouraged a little bit of violence that's the way i heard it you know maybe the exact words don't say that but similar to the trump situation if i hear it that way well that's sort of the reality if you hear it that way that's your reality so i think that would actually be 100 percent appropriate that no matter whether president trump gets impeached or not yeah i do think kamala harris should be impeached on day one
one that's completely appropriate because the things she said did lead you know encouraged incited rioting and death i think that's perfectly appropriate in fact i don't know if the republicans have any ability to push with that but i'd put it through today there's no reason that you can't there is no reason you can't impeach kabul harris for something she did before she took

[38:55]

for something she did before she took office right because it was all sort of connected to taking office it was when she was running so yeah i think caballeros should be impeached under the same theory that the president will probably get impeached now by the way i don't have strong opinions about impeachment versus resigning versus 25th amendment versus even just not doing anything i feel as if these things all became the same thing because there's no time left i mean i suppose the impeachment thing i've heard that if he gets impeached can somebody fact check this on me is it true that if the president gets impeached he loses his pension and security detail i don't know that that's true that doesn't sound true to me it doesn't sound true that if you're an ex-president you don't get secret service protection but fact-check that for me if that were true that would be

[39:55]

true that would be just the worst thing i'd heard all year i hope it's not all right
remember when everybody said that trump supporters would follow him no matter what and that if he shot somebody on fifth avenue his supporters would still support him well here's the weird and convenient thing that happened this week
trump and he wasn't trying to do this of course but inadvertently trump created an off-ramp for people like me which is actually really convenient
so without this week the events of this week in the the capital stuff uh trump would have left office and i would just be a person who supported him on you know 90 of everything he did from beginning to end and then i would have to live with that as the guy who would support trump who other people think is a monster no

[40:57]

who other people think is a monster no matter what he did no matter what he did now if you support somebody who other thing other people think is hitler and you support him no matter what he does well you just look like hitler so so that was what i was looking forward to is that trump would just leave office and then i would be branded hitler's helper forever and that would be the rest of my life but
but because of the events of this past week it makes it really easy for people like me to say oh i'm out okay i like those other things he did i like the middle east the economy before the coronavirus there's a bunch of stuff i liked and i can still like them just as much as i like them before but
but this is my shooting somebody on fifth avenue moment and
and i don't support him when he shoots somebody on fifth avenue and now you know for sure because uh in this exact case i'm not

[42:00]

because uh in this exact case i'm not i'm not arguing against impeachment i'm not even arguing against uh the 25th amendment i don't know you know in terms of precedent or anything like that if it's a good idea but i don't have any stake in it i have no argument for that and i don't think it matters either because in a few days he's out of office either way
way so
uh that's where i stand on that um
um apparently the pga of america they're even canceling their uh golf tournament that was at the one of the trump properties i don't know how the trump family is going to avoid total economic destruction and i don't think that is fair
that is deeply unfair because i don't believe at least you know the trump family i don't believe that they had anything in mind except helping the country and you know getting a good

[43:01]

country and you know getting a good outcome and it looks like they will be uh punished for trying to help the country by a complete destruction of their brand now you could you say that president trump was responsible for that and i wouldn't argue that um
all right that is what i want to say yeah and so i'm seeing that in the uh in the comments people are saying that uh you've got to cover your ass cover your ass now what i'm saying to you is that trump inadvertently created a situation where you can cover your ass but also be completely honest and transparent i'm not lying when i say that trump did something very bad this week and if people want to impeach him for it i'm not going to argue with it does that sound like a lie do i sound dishonest would i say that because it's a pretty popular opinion

[44:02]

because it's a pretty popular opinion i don't know why you would disbelieve that now it just happens to cover my ass now am i do i feel bad that the truth also somehow helps me no i don't feel bad about it why should i feel bad that the truth went my way in a small way uh they are making him disappear and that is it is amazing to watch it happened
uh you said fair oh i said fair is uh bs yeah i use the word fair in casual conversation while also believing that it's not a real thing but you know what fair means in in the context i use it it means that uh reasonable people would look at it and say uh okay that that's that's all i be there's no such thing as actual fairness but there is a situation where human beings will look at a situation and say

[45:04]

beings will look at a situation and say ah that's okay somebody says you're a coward scott you're a idiot i'll tell you if you've watched me for four years and you think i'm a coward you're a idiot so maybe maybe catch up a little bit and find out what i've been up to uh that's one of the dumbest opinions on earth right now um
um you're buying into the scam which one did you see the bml rider that was in the capital yeah i don't disbelieve that there were some uh bad elements who are not maga people but obviously there were plenty of mega people who made it into the capital it is wrong somebody says in capitals
uh wait till these big tech companies start using our private dms and emails against us well i assume that's going to happen that that feels inevitable if you've said anything by dm or private message

[46:04]

message uh
uh i you have to assume that that's all discoverable my my uh sort of ongoing approach for the last several years anyway is that i don't say anything privately that i would that would end me if if it were public and i say i say bad things publicly in terms of you know there could be some things that i wouldn't say in public i'll say privately but none of them would end my career they're not that bad
what the jackals are doing to trump is horrible it is yeah the wall street journal says trump isn't guilty of incitement and i agree from a legal perspective i don't think you can say that anything he said was incitement what i'm saying is he should have known as a leader that it would have an unintended effect that the way he was talking would have the unintended effect

[47:05]

the unintended effect so if you looked at what he intended and you look at what he did there's no mistake if you ask yourself should a leader have known that those things he did which were technically accurate and legal and okay that even though they were technically okay should he have known it was going to lead to what it led to and the answer is yes as a leader he should have known that even though he didn't break any laws it was going to lead to something like that
excellent question here do have you noticed that we've all been trained to think past the sale the sale is that the election was fine if the election was fine this is the official narrative and as you know i pledged allegiance to it earlier if the official narrative is also true then what trump is doing is quite destructive and it would look that way if it turned out and we can't know this there's no way to know but hypothetically just as a mental

[48:06]

hypothetically just as a mental experiment let's say that the election hypothetically no evidence of this that i've seen or at least no proof of it let's say it was illegitimate then if you were to look at the president's actions they look a lot different don't they what if president trump is the only one who's right
what if he's the only one who's right now of course many of you would be right too if you think there was something wrong with the election in that scenario but in terms of the official narrative what if trump's the only one who's right um you can't rule that out because have there been other situations where trump was the only one who was right yeah yeah they haven't right if he did not have a history of fairly frequently being the only one who was right i would say you wouldn't have to worry about that but he does have that history

[49:07]

about that but he does have that history of going against the crowd and being right be right
i like this comment buzz your girlfriend woof
she's my wife um
you have disappointed us all i'm sorry jerry french that i've disappointed you can you tell me what exactly you're disappointed in could you be more specific by the way my uh follower account went from 666 000 to 611 000. so uh
uh so dropping like a rock somebody says scott is swinging both ways now there's an idiot comment so
so from uh sochu whatever so somebody says that i'm swinging both ways now that's

[50:08]

now that's that's a comment from an idiot because a smart person and i would hope that there would be more smart people than dumb people on here a smart person would say well trump has a whole bunch of pluses but there are some negatives that's what a smart person would say a dumb person would say take a side take aside damn it that's what dumb people say taking aside regardless of who's right and wrong is stupid that's just stupid so stupid people should leave this live stream immediately if you think i should just take a side that's stupid what about personal responsibility of the crowd you could have more than one person responsible the people can be personally responsible and legally responsible for whatever they did at the same time you could have a president who's inspiring them

[51:09]

yeah it is funny that my voter account stopped or my follower account stopped at 666.
do you feel a dealer should be convicted for an overdose well i don't think that the legal standard should be applied to the presidency so that would be bad at using analogies so every time you say but scott what about this completely different situation my answer is always going to be the same that's a different situation but scott what about this other different situation to which i i'll bet you can anticipate it say well that's just another different situation but if you want to talk about this situation i'd be happy to if you're talking about personal responsibility of you know let's say a drug overdose the law the law requires you know defines who has responsibility for what if the dealer in your example sold somebody that they thought was xanax but turned out to be fentanyl

[52:10]

xanax but turned out to be fentanyl and the person died from it i do think the
the the dealer should be executed in my opinion so does that answer your question now i think the person who takes it also has complete responsibility for their own decisions but at the same time the person who sold them xanax that was really deadly fentanyl and ended up killing them i think they should be executed that's just my opinion
people with cognitive dissonance either change their minds or change the interpretation right but it's not cognitive dissonance if you change your mind it's only cognitive dissonance if you change your hallucination that holds it all together uh any comments on twitter versus gab no i think gab and parlor are all doomed and by the way the
i i sometimes tell you that i i know the news before you do

[53:11]

news before you do the news about parlor and gab getting in trouble i knew months ago
and i knew it from i won't even tell you who told me because that would be funny let's just say that somebody uh who would know told me months ago that parlor and gab would either have to turn into twitter in other words act the same way they do or they would go on a business because if you let the nazis on etc you know they'll all be canceled so i knew that months ago there was no other way it was going to go that parlor and gab were going to either become filled with nazis and canceled or they have to act exactly like twitter and then there's no point in them existing so there was never a path for parlor or gab to ever succeed now i knew that months ago because somebody who is smarter just told me

[54:12]

just told me and the first time i heard it i was like oh
oh yeah there's no other way that can go they're either going to become twitter in which case they don't need any reason to exist or they're going to go the other way and they have to get canceled because they'd be full of nazis and they would lose their banking it was all obvious it was it was obvious months ago that we would be exactly where we are now um
so have you finalized your california escape yet yeah i've got too many ties in california that wouldn't be good um i haven't seen arnold schwarzenegger's thing yet but i don't really care what his opinion is on this um
um too little faith scott i don't really operate on faith i don't i don't know if you've noticed it's not really a good way um
um gab has survived without an app but it's not very uh vital at the moment

[55:14]

vital at the moment whatever but my point stands gab doesn't have a purpose unless it can be free speech and it can't we don't live in a world where it can the banking the banking system would just close them down parlors getting their own servers well good luck with that even if they get their own servers it seems like there would be enough related companies and advertisers who don't want to advertise i don't just don't see how the business model could work so the other the other possibility is locals is where i have a my content so if i get banned from any of this stuff you can find me there it's a subscription service we're looking at doing groups as subscriptions subscriptions yeah so right now you subs you subscribe to each creator you want to follow but we have to figure out how to package it better so that you can get more creators

[56:14]

more creators scott are you scottish i am just a little bit just a little bit of scottish uh
when i saw the mass mail-in scam get normalized i don't know what that's about uh
okay somebody says gab works gab works gab works okay um
um what about italy the the italy story so i i tweeted uh or retweeted a tweet by uh
the overstock ceo byrne and he seems to be the smartest person who's making these claims so there's claims about something in italy that somehow affected our elections now here's my take on that if that story is true that italy was involved in affecting our elections

[57:15]

affecting our elections if it's true it will be the first time in my memory that a story that has that vibe is true right so when i say a story that has that vibe let me give you an example if somebody said tomorrow that a large ape-like creature had been discovered in the wild living forever and i'd say you mean bigfoot and then the person would say no no not bigfoot it's a different creature it's a dinosaur let's say a dinosaur somebody says we discovered a full-sized dinosaur and it's been living the whole time in iceland we'll just pick a place would you believe that probably not in other words it's a story that has a vibe to it that you would just say i don't know if i even need to research this because i don't think a full-sized dinosaur has been found in iceland so there are some things that just by their vibe

[58:16]

their vibe you say i don't feel like i have to research this one i feel like i can just brush this one aside so the italy story has that vibe to me it sounds exactly like a story that's not true but it is 2021 and we've been surprised before yeah patrick byrne i couldn't remember his first name so if you look into patrick byrne you'll find out he has some serious academic credentials you know probably literally a genius iq i think is is fair to say and he's looked into it so
so if somebody with those credentials and that level of intelligence looks into something and makes a claim should you take it seriously well you should take it seriously enough to look into it for sure i mean he he certainly is earned that level of credibility that a claim with specifics and you know he claims some background we should look into it

[59:17]

into it so i'm fully in in favor of well let's see what's there but i would say that about everything if he asked me to bet on it i would put a pretty big bet on that not being true pretty big bet i'd probably give you a ten to one odds so i'd probably bet a hundred dollars against losing a thousand then it's not true could it be true well it falls into the category of i suppose anything's possible but it doesn't have the feel of something that's true that's all i know for sure all right that's all i got for now and i will talk to you tomorrow
