boom hey hey everybody hey jack good to see you come on in come on in it's an incredible day one of the best really and today on coffee with scott adams we're going to have a good time even if you're listening to this at 1.5 times speed well you'll just get to get goodness a little bit faster that way won't you but you only got to get that in replay i'm afraid i can't talk that fast in real time
but before we begin what would make this extra special i think you know it's a simultaneous sip and all you need is a copper mug or a glass of tanker chalices dying a canteen sugar class a vessel of any kind
like oh this is a problem i can't reach my coffee cup because my microphone isn't long enough this is a problem are you gonna have to come with me youtube stay where you are periscope come with

[1:19]

stay where you are periscope come with me
me come with me [Music] oh oh yeah there we go
that's the good stuff join me now for the unparalleled pleasure the dopamine hit of the day the thing that makes everything better it's called the simultaneous if it happens now go
ah oh i can't put my cup back all right i'm gonna have to fix this hold on hold on there we go all better all right let's talk about all the things first of all happy valentine's day velen's villains titans day my denture is working i don't have dentures just kidding happy valentine why can't i say that word valentine's day happy valentine's day special shout out to my incredible wife

[2:22]

special shout out to my incredible wife christina happy valentine's day to you if you're watching and i hope you're up early so you can um so the us is reporting the lowest number of weekly covet cases since october all right all right is the vaccine working maybe because i would think we would have the highest infections now right right in the middle of february wouldn't february be one of your bad uh your bad virus months or automatically well um let's let's keep that going so that's some good news you know you've been hearing about this uh allegation that the covent virus coronavirus came from uh a lab in we we do not have proof of that that is an allegation but one of the things you're hearing about is whether or not the so-called gain of

[3:23]

is whether or not the so-called gain of function could could be detected in other words if somebody had tried to take regular natural viruses and if someone let's say a major military power with a biological lab if they tried to weaponize that by tweaking it to make it extra deadly or to have some special gain of function to make it more of a weapon would we be able to spot that by looking at the virus in other words could you look at the virus and say well look yeah there's a little man-made thing in there that virus and when this first when the pandemic first came out and people were i heard experts say on television the expert said no you know we looked at it and you could tell i mean you could tell if it were modified and it's just a regular virus blah blah blah to which i said to myself

[4:25]

blah blah blah to which i said to myself can you can you tell because it seemed to me that there would be at least two ways that you could modify a virus and this is without knowing anything right my complete zero uh knowledge of science is going to be fully applied here one way it seems to me would be directly if you could literally directly somehow add a add a thing or subtract a thing from a virus i don't can we do that is there some lab that can add or subtract something from a virus is that even a thing i don't know if you could i suppose if that existed maybe you could detect it you'd say ah that can't happen naturally that must have been some human did that but the second way that you can create gain of function somebody says a crispr can
can so you can change the dna in a virus

[5:26]

so you can change the dna in a virus is it dna i don't mean what a virus isn't even alive right the virus is technically not alive so i don't know exactly what kind of stuff is inside a virus we're well beyond my scientific knowledge somebody says genes i don't know if that's right either so let me not try to guess on the science we'll just i'm going to make my major point which is there must be at least two ways you can modify them one would be directly if we could do that but the other way would be to just breed it naturally how can you breed a virus well apparently the way you do it is you put one animal who has the virus let's say a penguin or whatever pangolin or whatever those things are you put it somewhere where it can infect another animal let's say a different kind of mammal or a bird or a pig and then maybe the pig infects yet another animal so

[6:28]

infects yet another animal so i need a fact check on this but my understanding is that if you create these artificial infection scenarios where the virus will jump from and this is the key one species to another that during the jump from species the virus changes some of those changes will be nothing some will make it less deadly some might make it more deadly so you could experiment just by reinfecting different types of animals until you ended up with a virus that had some extra good stuff just by accident that you want it and that would be a gain of function now let me ask you this if scientists looked at a virus they had gone through hypothetically the transition from multiple species to give it a gain of function could you identify that i mean really do we have any science that could identify that a human put these animals together

[7:30]

that a human put these animals together as opposed to there was something in the wild in which they just got infected i don't think so somebody says probabilistic probabilistically maybe maybe um but i don't think you could be sure right so i'll just put that out there and by the way the first person i asked this question to privately just without you know something i didn't do on twitter or didn't do publicly but just privately i asked the smartest person i knew in this kind of area could you put a gain of function on there that nobody could detect what did the smartest people say yeah obviously you could of course you could yeah now i don't know if they're right but i'm telling you the smartest people i know say yeah obviously you could do that so maybe maybe not

[8:33]

the daily mail is reporting today something that i just had to keep reading and rereading to see if it i didn't even think i was really reading it all right so tell me if you've heard this so the daily mail is reporting this like it's just a fact is this a fact here's what they report the pentagon admits admits being the key word here pentagon admits that it has been testing wreckage from ufo crashes including a possible quote memory medal that experts claim may have been recovered during the 1947 rosh roswell crash
what they're reporting this like it's a fact now they're not quite saying that it's an alien spaceship piece of metal they're not quite saying that but they are saying we found some metal that doesn't appear to come from human beings

[9:34]

and they're calling this they're reporting it like it's a fact somebody says yes it's called uh nitinol
right so when they say ufos they just mean unidentified so it could have been an unidentified let's say russian technology that we don't recognize so it's just unidentified they don't say it's from outer space but they do kind of say it's a metal we don't make here on earth and it wasn't something that came off an asteroid it was something that somebody made and it doesn't look like he came from earth
what do you think what do you think about this story i am going to call on this story uh i do not believe that there are uh that there is life on other planets because i think we're a simulation and it was just never built out because we didn't need it so there's

[10:35]

because we didn't need it so there's just no reason for life to be on other planets because we're a simulation and if we can't get to those other planets easily well we just didn't need to put anything there so uh i don't believe it but it's a fun story it's a fun story and so therefore i like it because it's fun so here's my uh take on the illegitimate press that we have in this country you're seeing a lot of the anti-trumpers use a phrase called the big lie so they're using this this label the big lie to talk about trump's claim that the election had been fraudulent now you may be a familiar that the phrase big lie comes from nazi propaganda and the idea is
is that the nazis said if you tell a small lie
lie you know such as somebody who stole some loaf of bread or something people are inclined you know maybe believe it maybe not

[11:36]

believe it maybe not but if you tell a lie that's so big if it's big enough people will believe it because they will say to themselves well nobody could tell a lie that big you know like if you heard tomorrow that an actual alien spaceship landed in the middle of the capital and all of the news reported it was true that's so big that's probably true right your your brain just says that can't be not true how could that be not true everybody is reporting it how could that not be true right so if the lie is big enough it makes it look more credible and that is literally a nazi propaganda trick that's where we get the phrase the big lie
lie now when your press in the united states refers to trump and by by extension his followers as spreading the quote big lie what is that doing to public discourse

[12:38]

what is that doing to public discourse well number one it conflates trump supporters by association with trump and many of them agreed with him on this point it equates them to nazis that's what it does the the reason they choose that is to equate trump and his followers with nazis
you let me say this to any press person who uses the phrase the big lie and tries to paint trump supporters as nazis just in this clever little way it's racist it's racist i regard that like the n word but used against me right to me that is as offensive that's as offensive as the n-word is to anybody else now can i compare offensiveness no i mean it's subjective but it's a 10. you know i would say that if you said to any black american how bad is the use of

[13:41]

any black american how bad is the use of the n-word if it's you know if you're not black when you're using it how bad is that i think they say that's a 10 and a 10. i would agree that's a 10 out of 10. my personal opinion you can't get any worse than using the n word you know if you're not black likewise this is a 10 and a 10. when you're using literally nazi imagery to paint your enemies just because they weren't sure that the election had transparency that's racism that's a 10 and a 10. and if you if you use it as i just read in the washington post somebody using that that phrase you're a racist you're a racist live with it you racist now you might be a white person being racist against other white people but it's still the same thing you're a racist right and i believe that my anger about that

[14:43]

i believe that my anger about that phrase is going to keep increasing until people understand this is unacceptable behavior now there is a second problem with using this big lie do you know what it is from a persuasion propaganda perspective anybody anybody tell me what is the propaganda brainwashing quality of using the phrase the big lie in the comments you're going to have it in a moment it's making you think past the sale when they say it's the big lie they they try to make you uncritically accept that it's a lie we haven't determined that it has not been determined that it's a lie it is simply something that the people who don't believe it think is probably not true it's not the big lie it's the big probably not true according to you that's what it is

[15:45]

according to you that's what it is it's probably not true according to you if you're people using the big life race it's not a lie that would indicate that we know it's not true we simply know it hasn't been proven that there is any widespread fraud in the court of law that's what we know we don't know it's a big
big lie and when you tell us it's a big lie that's a big lie that's the big lie
lie now remember i keep telling you i hate it i hate it when tucker carlson keeps being right about this he just keeps being right that whatever they're doing whatever they're doing themselves they'll accuse you of and i swear to god i don't want that to be true because i just don't know why it's true like i can't figure out why why is this key being true but this is exactly what they're doing with this big lie thing

[16:45]

lie thing the big lie is to make it look like the thing they're doing they're doing which is lying about the credibility of the election we don't know it was honest we don't know that it wasn't honest we simply don't know and nobody's fixing it nobody's fixing it there is no effort by anybody that i'm aware of fact-check me on this to fix the system because it's going to be just as non-transparent next time so here again the illegitimate press is using uh is accusing the right of their own crime spreading the big lie somebody asked me if this phrase the big lie
lie is so good persuasively that maybe it came from childini you know robert gildini now if you know my history i've talked about him as possibly being

[17:47]

about him as possibly being or probably being a an advisor to the clinton campaign there's no indication that he was involved with the biden campaign i don't know one way or the other but somebody asked me do you think he was behind this phrase the big lie
i'm going to give you just an opinion no and here's why i don't think he was behind the big lie because it's a racist brainwashing piece of thing to do and i have no reason to believe that robert cialdini is a piece of
no indication of that in fact i believe he's actually taught courses on ethically using persuasion he would be exactly the opposite of somebody who would give you advice to compare people to nazis he didn't do that now i suppose anything's possible right i could be wrong i'm only just speculating but it's kind

[18:48]

i'm only just speculating but it's kind of crazy to imagine that a normal person would do this this isn't what normal people who are good people do and as far as i know chelted is a normal good person right this is evil right i don't i have no reason to think he's evil i think he just likes democrats more than republicans fine right no no problem with that all right different topic uh jonathan hate uh h-a-i-d-t if i'm height fight i hate it how do you pronounce his last name um a well-known author he tweeted around a study that says that kids who get help from adults to solve a puzzle become helpless on the next puzzle and you can see it in real time it happens instantly so if you if you have a puzzle and kids are trying to solve it

[19:49]

are trying to solve it you have half of the kids just work as long as they can with any help and then another half you have a parent jump in and say ah here's the here's the solution and solve it for then you wait a little bit
bit and you give those same two groups of people a new challenge a new puzzle the ones who had no help charge right through and do the same thing they did on the first one they try as hard as they can to solve it and succeed to some extent the ones who got help can't solve the second one because they can't try hard enough they've been ruined actually broken by get by giving them too much help now i have often said this about my own parenting uh experience my parents were maybe typical of the time i'm not sure but they were fairly hands off i would say i don't know if my siblings are watching this but uh i would look for

[20:51]

this but uh i would look for a second opinion on this my my belief or memory or you know of my childhood is that we had almost unprecedented ability to make our own decisions about stuff and to and to manage our own day i don't believe listen to this and then compare this to 2021. if you have kids in school right now just just hear this story and just try to imagine this today my parents didn't really show an interest in my schoolwork at all now they told me they expected me to get a's and they expected me to go to college and it was just an expectation which they drilled my mother especially drilled into us from birth you're going to college you're getting a's but how i did that was entirely up to me not once did my mother or father offer

[21:53]

not once did my mother or father offer to help on my homework i don't remember even asking and yeah i'm saying in the comments same here same here so when i graduated college just try to imagine this experience in 2021. so i graduated college with a little bit of money i got from graduation and some i'd saved up i had about two thousand dollars i guess in savings from mowing lawns plus you know graduation gifts and i took two suitcases and the the one suit i owned that i think i got from sears i bought a suit from sears and i wore my suit on an airplane took my two pieces of luggage and moved to california and with no plan figured it out that's it i actually flew across the country to spend the rest of my life without a plan the plan was to sleep on my brother's couch and look for a job if you can call that

[22:55]

and look for a job if you can call that a plan second part of the plan was to find the the first job i could get at the best company in the field that i wanted which was finance i was an economics major so i took a job as a bank teller for uh the the fastest moving technologically you know uh superior company called crocker bank later they were bought by wells fargo so i took the worst job i could at the best company i signed up for every training course they can i later in later years i got my mba at night and i basically built a talent stack they gave me a lot of options that got me all the way to here now i had zero help from my parents on the details i had a hundred percent help from my parents on the mission and the mission was always the same you're going to do well in school you're going to go to college you're

[23:57]

you're going to go to college you're going to be rich now i'd have to ask my siblings if they were also told they were going to be rich but my parents told me that
and sure enough i had an expectation i had all the support i needed i didn't need anymore didn't want anymore and i'm pretty sure that the fact i had to figure out so much on my own is like a superpower i don't i don't i never encounter a situation where i don't know what to do i mean that's that's an exaggeration i'm sure i do but i go through my life thinking i can conquer just about anything because that's my experience nobody jumped in to save me so i either failed you know i either sank or swam and so far i'm swimming so i believe we may be destroying an entire generation by being helpful we might be

[24:57]

generation by being helpful we might be destroying them by being helpful it's scary um this governor cuomo story and the the nursing home's deaths is just getting worse oh my god you know i've been telling you that um as a as a standard of behavior i didn't want to be the one who was tough on any of our leaders if they got anything wrong during the coronavirus and i've been applying that to cuomo trying to be consistent and saying yes it's true that very bad things happened i feel like we would need to know the details of exactly what caused him to sign off on the decision to send 9 000 infected people back into the worst place they could be sent i feel as if now it seems to me that i saw him saying in an interview that he was following federal guidelines at the time can somebody confirm that is that is that his actual explanation that they were the federal

[25:58]

explanation that they were the federal guidelines and he just followed them consul give me a fact check on that anyway uh the news i follow tends to consistently leave out whatever it is that cuomo cuomo says as his response to why all these people died all right i'm looking in the comments yes i'm saying yes all right now if you watch fox news they'll just never mention that they will just never mention that according to cuomo and i'm not saying it's true i'm just saying according to cuomo that he has a pretty good explanation on paper whether you buy it or not but on paper that's a pretty good explanation now somebody says he had a hospital ship and he had the javits center that's true but i put myself in his situation and i ask you this would you have sent infected people to those assets if you thought you didn't need to use them and you might be able to close them down and save a

[26:58]

and save a ton of money later that might be the federal government's money but still who wants to waste a bunch of money so i put myself in this situation and i tell you this i'm not positive i would have acted differently than cuomo in that situation are you be honest are you positive that if you were in that situation you would have acted differently i'm not i'm not positive of that which is why i you know have been soft on this topic because if you put me in that situation and somebody and you know i'm making a decision a minute because it's the pandemic plus i'm still the governor right i've got a whole pandemic on top of my job which is a full-time job
job a million decisions somebody comes and says what do we do with the the seniors the federal guidelines says send them back to the nursing home just make sure that they're you know separated or whatever so you're making a million decisions

[28:00]

making a million decisions the federal government tells you what to do
do in this exact situation and you know that they've looked into it you're not supposed to be the expert you're not the cdc so the federal government says send them back and you're making a million decisions you go yeah here send it back and then you go on to your other million decisions
if you can tell me that you say you would not have done the same thing cuomo did
did and i don't know if i'm describing it correctly right so i'm seeing a little pushback i might not be describing the situation correctly but my point is if you weren't there if you weren't there i don't think you know what except what happened and that's that's why i'm still putting a little bit of reservation on a complete blame of cuomo for a bad decision that killed thousands of people who didn't need to die but the story got

[29:00]

but the story got way worse way worse i reached the limit of where i can give somebody the benefit of a doubt yeah i see it in the comments apparently his staff and he must have known about it
it lied to cover up the number of deaths and they lied because it would look bad if they said the real number and they've admitted that that's that's now in fact that they lied about the number because they didn't want to look so bad
that's grounds for removal from office all right there is nothing i can say to soften that right i mean i've been pretty pretty generous wouldn't you say i'm trying to apply the same standard that i applied to trump and any other leader trying to apply the same standard to cuomo trying to be fair

[30:01]

to be fair but when i heard that they lied about the number of deaths and it looks reliably like that's true you always have to be careful we're still in the fog or it's a new story might not be true but it looks true that's unforgivable that's a crime isn't it i mean i think it's a crime that's unforgivable so if it turns out that the the facts are correct i don't think cuomo can remain in in office i just don't see how that's possible i mean he might remain in office but i don't see how that could make sense for the public all right here's a observation which i make a lot and every time i do there's some new evidence to support it it goes like this democrats think in terms of goals a goal for example would be everybody is out of poverty pretty good right that would be a good goal get everybody out of poverty now the

[31:01]

get everybody out of poverty now the goal would be you know something for the environment and uh climate change etc so the the democrats are good on goals in fact i like i like a lot of their goals because they're they're social good kinds of goals everybody treated nice everybody's got equal equal opportunities those are good goals very good goals republicans have a slightly different take on things and this is just an observation doesn't mean everyone right sort of a general observation and republicans tend to be systems oriented that is to say we don't know what the final outcome will be and we don't know how long it will get would take to get there and we don't even know if we can get there we'd like a world where there's nobody in poverty but we can't make that a goal but we can make a system that does the best job of getting us there and if you design your systems right let's say your your capitalism systems

[32:02]

let's say your your capitalism systems and your your democratic systems your government systems your legal system if you get all those systems working right then the goals take care of themselves as much as can be right you maybe can't get to the ultimate end point but it's the best you can do now look at uh mitch mcconnell's statement many of you saw in which he talked about the impeachment outcome in which the president was acquitted mitch mcconnell voted to acquit the reason was systemic mcconnell said i don't think that the senate has jurisdiction over someone who's not in politics anymore now the democrats would say wait a minute we've got the this precedent we've got this legal precedent we've got this history where we've got this case where you really can do that but here's the thing suppose you really

[33:02]

but here's the thing suppose you really could do that let's say the democrats were right let's say the law was on their side let's say they could impeach somebody who's out of office should they should they is that a system that you would want going forward do you want that to be your system that that applies forever
i very much agreed with mitch mcconnell now he may have been inconsistent with case law but he's not inconsistent with what makes a good system and a good system is why the does the senate have any control over a private citizen after they're out of office now obviously in the sense of making laws that's their job but in terms of impeachment what the do you have to do with that i don't care what the case law is doesn't matter what the case law is it's

[34:04]

doesn't matter what the case law is it's obvious that's a bad system to punish something somebody after they're out of office now as mcconnell says and others say we do have a legal system if trump did something that the legal system needs to deal with there's no restriction on that right but mitch mcconnell i completely back his decision exactly the way he did it i like i liked the entire thing he did now he was very hard on trump for his responsibility for the capital attack do you do you feel the same as mcconnell does about the capital attack do you feel like mcconnell was maybe a little too hard on the president i don't care i don't care at all here's why we have this dumb system where the victims of the crime in this case the politicians who are actually at the capitol they're the victims of the crime they're

[35:05]

they're the victims of the crime they're the ones with ptsd they're the ones who are being hunted they're the ones who are afraid for their lives mcconnell is a victim of the crime that he was on the jury to judge what kind of a system puts the puts the victim or the victim's family on the jury what kind of a system is that if you put the victim on the jury don't expect them to say nice things about the perpetrator of the crime
mitch mcconnell should have gone i won't use the word should i hate that word it seems entirely appropriate to me that the victim of the crime is a little bit
bit pissed off put yourself in mitch mcconnell's place you are in the capital and you don't think your president did enough to save your life i probably would have voted to impeach

[36:11]

i probably would have voted to impeach just leave that hanging there if i had been in the senate and i or even just my colleagues had been in the capitol building and i didn't think the president did enough to stop it i wouldn't even care what the charges were i wouldn't even care what the impeachment articles were i i wouldn't even care about any of it i would vote to impeach that guy if i were the victim now i'm not the victim so i get you know i get the the advantage of you know being outside the system a little bit so i've got a little bit more objectivity but in my in my opinion anybody who is in the building ted cruz anybody else could have voted to impeach i would have done it just as a victim forget my forget my responsibility to the public i wouldn't even i wouldn't even care so maybe you shouldn't beg me a senator

[37:12]

maybe you shouldn't beg me a senator because i would have ignored the law i would have ignored the facts except the the one fact that i didn't think the president did enough to save my life i i'd care about that and i wouldn't care about one thing else so i backed mitch mcconnell's take on this 100 um and i actually respect him for using a
a a technical argument that i agree with that the senate should not have jurisdiction even though maybe technically they do
so a standing ovation for mitch mcconnell for the way he handled this as a victim as a victim right if that's the system putting victims on the jury this is what you're going to get so good for him all right um

[38:17]

i'm going to always say that trump uh was acquitted of two impeachments and therefore was was essentially not impeached now i know that impeachment is sort of like just a stain that's supposed to be on the record it's not exactly like indicting somebody but you know in the criminal system if you indict somebody for a crime and then they go to they go to trial and the jury finds them not guilty what do we say to that person do we say well there was an indicted person no we don't talk of it that way because that wouldn't be fair we talk about it as as a person who's been found not guilty that's how we talk about but if you get impeached which is a little bit like indictment and then you get acquitted we still say you were impeached is that fair it seems to me if the impeachment doesn't go all the way to the point of impeachment the point is removal from office

[39:18]

the point is removal from office if it doesn't go to that point can you say an impeachment succeeded i would say it's two failed impeachments
you could say they were impeachments but they were failed impeachments it was two attempts to impeach them they failed and then people could say but there was an impeachment and then you can say yes there totally was there was a failed impeachment there was an unsuccessful one and then they'll say no no it was successful because the impeachment part is separate from the trial part to which you say what's the point of the first part what's the what's the purpose of the first part without the second part would you even do that because it's just a sensor sensure if it doesn't go to removing from office it's just accenture it's not really an impeachment so just to be annoying to democrats because i know they'll hate it i'm going to say

[40:19]

know they'll hate it i'm going to say that there were two impeachment attempts but neither of them succeeded uh trump wins the doubleheader uh i saw a tweet from don jr this morning talking about what a bad week the democrats have had everything from the impeachment results to the the self-immolation of the lincoln project to governor cuomo's problems it's a really bad week and that's not even counting what biden has done or not done
so um here's the weirdest dumb story uh somebody named tj t.j ducklow it's spelled just like a duck and then with an lo on the end so he was biden's deputy press secretary and i guess politico was going to do an article about him

[41:19]

about him and her no somebody was going to do an article about him about a relationship he had with some other reporter axios was going to do article about ducklow's alleged relationship with a reporter for politico now is that a fair story yes it is fair to report that if somebody is in a romantic situation if one is a reporter and one works for the press corps that's fair right or one works for the white house press corps or not the white house uh communications group so it's perfectly fair that they were going to do the story now what's reported is that tj ducklow uh threatened the reporter when he found out she was going to do the story and his threat was that he would destroy her and he was at first they were gonna give him a week off without pay or something

[42:19]

him a week off without pay or something but then he quit which means basically he got fired so um i'm gonna throw you a uh gonna throw you a curve here and i'm going to defend tj ducklow but you didn't see that coming and here's my defense the phrase i'm going to destroy you is number one typical political speech
it's not typical where you work but it's typical political speech that threat is probably the most common threat that anybody's ever used and it's better here's the second part totally justified and legal legal and justified just as the reporter doing a story about this which would end up you know ruining this guy's career etc totally justified

[43:21]

totally justified the reporter is completely within her rights to do the story and it's a legitimate story completely within her rights to to do the story but ducklow is completely within his rights to destroy her life i mean beating her career when he says i'll destroy you that should be interpreted as career-wise it should not be interpreted the dumb way which is some kind of violence or anything like that
i feel like that's fair and you know it seems worse because one's male and one's female so it takes on that extra dimension but telling people that you'll destroy them if you if they destroy you if it's all legal everybody's acting legally
i don't know i don't know i feel like this is kind of normal behavior it became a story so you know biden had

[44:21]

it became a story so you know biden had to deal with it he probably did the right thing but i'm not sure this was so bad i'm looking at your comments somebody says i'm okay with this
so you can defend that but it was joe's promise to not tolerate bad behavior joe kept his promise joe kept his promise because he's gone now i'm going to give joe a pass on that now it looked like he was going to get a week off but as soon as there were some pushback from the public probably that's when biden got involved my guess is that biden really wasn't involved in a lower level decision like that but i think he probably said when somebody said hey biden you said you'd get rid of people who acted this way i think he kept his promise and got rid of him you know now it's reported that he resigned but i imagine it's the same thing all right so you don't have to agree with me on that but uh that's my take

[45:23]

but uh that's my take uh biden said he uh uh in talking about the impeachment biden said that he denounced violence and extremism and said americans have a duty to defend the truth and defeat the lies this is the man who ran and based his campaign on the find people hoax which was debunked in front of the entire world in front of congress on every network the biggest lie ever told the most damaging one by far and and he's coming out in favor of uh truth and defeating the lies now his entire campaign was built on a lie that has just been debunked
but will the press call him on that they will not um here's a question for you the biggest complaint about trump was that he had to know his his words would cause the kind of violence that we saw at the capitol

[46:24]

violence that we saw at the capitol that trump had to know it because common sense says if you keep talking about the election being stolen and then you talk the way you talked that any reasonable person in that situation would have known that those words would lead to violence but here's the question why didn't why didn't the security people know that the people who were in charge of security for the capital why didn't they know that because they didn't have enough security if trump was supposed to know that but all the people who listened to him talk didn't know it why wouldn't they know it what about the press the press is pretty clear when they say that anybody should have known that these words would lead to violence was the press tell you that the capital was going to be attacked yesterday before it happened did the press did the press warn you did the press say

[47:24]

did the press warn you did the press say hey why isn't there enough security we can all see that this will lead to violence did they i don't think they did so what you're seeing here is a hindsight persuasion they're trying to make you believe that what is obvious today was also obvious before the capital attack now i watch a lot of politics and i listen to most of what the president says i had no idea that the capital would actually be like penetrated no idea did you how many of you listening to everything that trump said watching the news how many of you knew that the capital would be breached i kind of assumed that they would have security right now i knew that there would be protests no matter which

[48:25]

there would be protests no matter which way things went protests were guaranteed but i also thought that the protests in cities would look just the way they always do too many things get destroyed but i figured that any kind of protest in the capital would not penetrate the actual capital how many of you with all of your common sense and judgment and and watching the news how many of you knew that the capital was going to be attacked right zero we didn't know that you know you could make the same argument about a million different uh statements by a million different politicians sometimes people say things and then sometime after that a bad thing will happen related to the thing they said does that mean they caused it i think it's just sometimes bad things happen and sometimes people were talking about them before they happened

[49:26]

about them before they happened that's probably all that's going on here all right so that's another thing that the
the the the press which is completely illegitimate as you know both the left and the right at this point um they don't tell you what i just told you which is that nobody knew it was gonna happen and they imagine that trump is suddenly the smartest person in the world their entire case depends on the fact that you will believe they've been lying for five years that they were lying about how insightful and smart trump is because the entire case depends on him being smarter than all of us because somehow he knew the capital would get penetrated or that violence would happen in some way but you didn't you didn't know it i mean i didn't know it
it but i guess he's the smartest person in the world now because he should have known it um

[50:26]

if you hear the story about there was some angry phone call with uh mccarthy and trump during the capital assault where people were breaking through mccarthy's windows and trump allegedly was not too concerned about it now i don't know what did or did not happen in that phone call but i would say of all the news this week that you should not trust to be accurate it would be this story these stories are never accurate the ones where somebody's reporting with somebody else said to somebody else they're never accurate never like actually zero times you could depend on this to be true zero times so yeah they just don't believe any of it you should discount that
the democrats when they got their final closing argument amazingly did not address the fact that the trump's lawyers

[51:27]

trump's lawyers had pointed out that they had manufactured evidence in a number of cases a number of instances manufactured evidence faked evidence and showed it to the world in public that actually happened and it got called out
out not just the find people hoax video they showed but also there was the fake tweet uh that they took in a context and added a added a blue check and i saw um van der veen being interviewed by cb at one of the cbs local stations i think and uh well i tweeted it this morning you have to see vanderveen answering the press and just eviscerating the press uh you have to see this but as he pointed out
out the democrats didn't even address the didn't even address it they simply ignored the fact that the evidence had been

[52:28]

the fact that the evidence had been manufactured by their own team now if the democrats had even and just an iota of let's say uh usefulness or morality or ethics the managers would have said oh my god it looks like the evidence we presented wasn't even real and they should have just dropped the case and said all right you're right we quit and we resign right now if they had ethics but they don't so what do you make of the fact that they didn't even address the fact that there was manufactured evidence now as van gaven points out if this had been a criminal trial that would be the end of the trial if you know that the the prosecution makes up evidence that's the end of the trial you don't need to hear the other stuff
that's a that's a pretty good standard and it gets worse

[53:30]

and it gets worse so by far the biggest story of the week by far there's nothing even close the impeachment itself is nowhere near how big this story is that the biggest hoax in this country that actually determined who's the president biotin is probably president because of the fine people hoax now not by itself but it's so important that if you took that out i don't think you would have won i don't think so it was so important to the
the misunderstanding of who this president is
is that i think it determined the fate of the country and this was a lie perpetrated by democrats and the press right in front of the country super damaging uh obviously incited death and destruction i mean i'm sure a lot more people died from that hoax if you put all the you know ever all the activity together than the capital assault as as tragic as that

[54:31]

the capital assault as as tragic as that was i don't think they're even close i think the fine people hoax is way more damaging even in death and destruction terms so that's the biggest story in the country now do a google search on this term impeachment find people hoax because remember van der veen actually used the phrase find people hoax which is the first time i've heard it not from people like me on social media um
um oh i'm sure it's been in the news somewhere but uh hearing him say actually find people hoax made my day but go ahead and google that google the biggest story in the country find people hoax put it in quotes so you get the same results so quotes around find people hoax the whole thing will it come up with a cnn story about how the biggest hoax in the country

[55:31]

how the biggest hoax in the country has been debunked nope oh i'm being corrected somebody says that van der veen called it the find people lie incorrect he called it to find people lie um when he gave his case when he was doing this summary he called it to find people hoax so he used both terms but the last one he used was hoax
so you will see if you search that on google that the the top publication i think would be breitbart and breitbart is largely hidden by google intentionally their algorithm actually hides breitbart now the other entities are right-leaning uh publications that most people have not heard of if you had google this and you were a democrat and you saw that the top result was breitbart which you had incorrectly been told gives you fake news compared to other outlets not true not true all the outlets have

[56:32]

not true not true all the outlets have had problems breitbart is probably more accurate than any of them that's just observationally they seem more accurate than any of them um and you wouldn't read it you wouldn't read it
it and if you did you wouldn't believe it because you've been told not to so google is actually hiding or the algorithm is it looks intentional if i had to guess without knowing i'd have to guess a person an actual human being did direct actions to hide the story because i'll bet if they had not directly tried died i'll bet it would come up now it could be that it doesn't come up because the major networks didn't cover it the biggest story in the country by far there's nothing close didn't even cover it on the other networks did fox what about fox fox news should pop right up on the top

[57:33]

fox news should pop right up on the top right you you know it got covered there what got covered on the opinion shows did it get covered on the news
i'm not sure it did i don't know it did the opinion people of course talked about it but
when you watch this happening right in front of you this is happening this is happening in real time right now the news and social media are suppressing the biggest story in the country right now right now while you watch it this is happening to you
you what do you make of that
stop calling it news scott somebody says yeah it's not really news is it i mean fake news is uh part of it all right so um i don't know which other networks are covering it newsmax

[58:33]

covering it newsmax oan probably will be on there but i bet if you do a google search it won't come up now how do the fact checking organizations cover it politifact covers the the find people hoax issue and then do they conclude that the fine people thing was true or did they conclude that it was false meaning it's a hoax what do you think politico concluded after watching it being completely debunked simply by showing the whole video that's it the whole debunk is just showing the whole video you don't even have to add any opinion to it so politico now of course has seen the whole video because everybody has if they watch the impeachment and what did they say was it true or was it false here's the the politifact final analysis quote more context is needed

[59:35]

quote more context is needed you politifact you you don't need any more context it's false
amazing this is happening right in front of us right in front of us this is happening
so here are some red lines that i've drawn
if the republicans don't try to impeach swalwell for manufacturing evidence during the trial and if they don't try to impeach biden for spreading the fine people hoax as the basis of his campaign i can't support them i don't think i can support any republican for president who won't try to at least raise the issue obviously they would be unsuccessful because the how many democrats there are in congress but
but if they just let that lay there they're just letting you take an arrow in the back right

[1:00:38]

take an arrow in the back right if republicans let this go after it's been debunked and it's the biggest story in the country and they don't try to impeach biden over it
they're worthless they're worthless i just can't support anybody who won't take this on it's the biggest thing in the country biggest story are you just going to ignore it all right so um and i'll i'll go further if there's somebody who's planning to run in 2024 and they would like my support early here's how to get it here's how to get it now i don't know maybe if it's somebody i don't like for some other reason i'd have a problem but you'd have a big leg up on winning the presidency if you try to impeach biden for the fine people hoax you won't succeed but you need to try all alright you need to try you need to

[1:01:40]

all alright you need to try you need to try
try it's not optional how can i support a republican who won't try to do this for us do it for me a citizen right do it for the people who are watching do it for the country do it to show people what the fake news has done to them for the last five years you gotta do this somebody ted cruz you've got the balls all right i'll use balls in a non-sexual way
way so that you know in this context uh women can have ovaries or bowls or whatever you want i'll make it non-sexist but ted cruz has the balls i don't know if he'll do it but he has the balls at least i don't know if anybody else will um
and i would look to the principle of reciprocity here if there's no republican who can bail out the citizens on this fine people

[1:02:42]

out the citizens on this fine people hoax thing if you can't bail us out don't expect help because we don't ask for much right i suppose we do ask for a lot citizens but i don't i mean there's not much i'm demanding right you haven't heard me demanding things but i do demand this i demand this i demand this you gotta stop leaving us out here exposed you can't let the fake news and and the platforms do this to us they're doing to this they're doing it to us right now as i say here they're doing it to us give us some help rasmussen reports the rasmussen did a poll and found out
this result but they the question was should public figures be punished for saying they believe the 2020

[1:03:42]

for saying they believe the 2020 election was stolen democrats 54 percent of them said public figures should be punished for an opinion about something that can't be proven either way
and that 54 of democrats think they should be punished for that opinion just chew on that just chew on that for a second you want to be even more angry you think that made you angry i'm not done all right feel how angry you are now and watch me take it up a level 54 of democrats as i said think public figures should be punished for saying they believe the 2020 election was stolen are you mad enough you're going to get a little madder in a moment 21 percent of republicans agree

[1:04:49]

21 percent of republicans think that a public figure should be punished for saying they believe the 2020 election was stolen punished republicans
among all voters 35 percent more than a third think a public figure now keep in mind what does public figure mean public figure doesn't just mean elected elected i'm a public figure i am a public figure it looks like uh youtube just oh youtube just turned me off
do you think that's a coincidence so i'm still live streaming here on periscope but i'm watching the youtube feed and it just it just froze
so if you're on uh if you're on youtube do you think this is a coincidence given

[1:05:50]

do you think this is a coincidence given given the topic that i've just been discussing did you just watch youtube turn me off did that just happen now it could be it could be a glitch but do you think the glitch always happens when you're talking about youtube hiding the news or about youtube that i'm sorry about google the parent company of youtube hiding the news is this a coincidence now if we were not in this situation where right now the news is being suppressed right now like right now it's being suppressed then i wouldn't think this was anything but a bug
but in the in the context where you know that this same entity is suppressing the news that i'm telling you
you and then you watch them suppress it is it a bug is it a bug

[1:06:53]

i don't know could be you can't rule out coincidence coincidence is pretty strong but i guess there's your freedom of speech so i'm still seeing uh comments uh on youtube is somebody on youtube tell me if you can hear me i know you can see your own comments that are going through but the video is frozen uh can anybody hear me on youtube
no it's frozen so i guess it's just the comments isn't this amazing i mean think about this are you not a little bit blown away by what's happening right now like you're watching it in real time
god i'm so close to being canceled right now you have no idea what's about to come out of my mouth but it would definitely change my life so i'm going to hold it in a little bit

[1:07:53]

so i'm going to hold it in a little bit longer somebody says i'm still up on youtube but the picture is frozen and i don't think they can hear me all right i'm going to turn off youtube
this should be uh a headline today somebody says your account will be suspended maybe so maybe so uh well we'll see what happens maybe i'm on the verge of getting canceled but we'll find out soon and i will talk to you well i think i'll talk to you tomorrow i think i'll talk to you tomorrow maybe not
not bye for now
