Episode 1565 Scott Adams - Not Standing For National Anthem While My Government is Hunting Citizens

um good morning everybody and welcome to the best thing that will ever happen to you ever ever and the rest of your life uh somebody's saying that I kneel for the national anthem no no I don't kneel for anything just to be clear I'm not going to kneel for the national anthem and I'm not going to kneel for the black national anthem or any other anthems because I'm not going to kneel for anything period I might not stand up but that's a different now standing up is different well we'll get into all of that let's say that on a controversy level today will be a 10 and a 10.

do you like your controversy and your news do you like it I know you do you love it you love it savor it savor it all right if you wanted to make this day special more special than it already is and it's already pretty great all you need is a cup of a glass of tanker Chelsea Stein I can't even Joker flask a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee wait a minute wait a minute hold on I'm getting a report this from Ben Greenfield uh tweet says a study of the Japanese adults found that higher intakes of coffee were associated with a 51 lower risk of dementia yeah and green tea didn't help a bit well screw your green tea coffee will take your dementia down to nothing and now the simultaneous sip go foreign I don't know about you but I do feel my dementia going down a little bit approximately 51 50 51 that's what it feels like oh antibodies antibodies coming online going hot all right uh you know most topics in the United States end up coming down to left and right you had got your Democrats and you got your liberals you got your conservatives and your Public's Republicans on the other side but there is one topic that does not seem to line up by party it's a topic of federal legalization of weed it's the only topic that is lined up by smart people on one side and then stupid idiots on the other side am I wrong because on the side that wants you know to legalize and you know stuff like that you've got your Rand Paul's Republican he's in favor of loosening up on the federal stuff but you also have lots of Democrats and I would I would guess that if you took all the Republicans who are in favor of loosening up and all the Democrats who were in favor of loosening up you'd probably have something pretty good why is anybody on the other side yeah the Libertarians do who's on the other side because Chuck Schumer is and I guess some Republican leadership is this is not about left or right is it this is not about that's the weirdest comment I've ever seen I'm not going to read it uh I totally threw off my game but you bastard you bastard You Know Who You Are that was pretty funny all right I'm not going to share that with you um but in the the topic of weed legalization really let's let's stop calling this political there are well-informed people who think we should loosen up and there are idiots who think we should that's it this is the one topic where it's just smart people and idiots and it's the cleanest it is the cleanest topic I've ever seen on this are there any other topics you've ever seen in which it broke down not by political party it broke down by smart people and idiots can you think of anything else like that honestly is there any other topic like that yeah term limits I don't know term limits sorted I think that can be all over the place yeah okay um Bill Barr continues to be the most interesting person in political commentating because he's doing this uh something fairly heroic which he's trying to turn the ship on his side but I swear to God he's doing a single-handedly it's like he doesn't have any help at all and what I mean is he's the the only person with one eye in the land of the blind and he's realizing what the left is doing he can see the overreach I guess that's the best way to see it say it he can see that he still likes you know the left in terms of General politics but he can see the overreach and he's trying to push back about that you're using his platform and he had an interview with Chris Cuomo that I definitely recommend you watch because uh and I I hope I can do this justice but you have to see Bill Maher correct a Cuomo in the gentlest way I've ever seen anybody corrected on anything and it's it's kind of brilliant I mean I my instinct was he should have gone harder at it but when I think about a little bit more I think the pacing and the leading are important so here's the setup Cuomo says that nobody even understands what CRT means much less do we teach it in school it's not being taught in school and we don't even nobody even knows what it means but it's definitely not being taught in schools so that's what Cuomo says on CNN your trusted news source station he says this to Bill Maher Bill Maher of course knows this is a lie in kind right it's not a direct lie but it is intended to mislead clearly because the answer is that the CRT ideas are baked into the into the curriculum in a lot of schools and they just don't call it CRT because they're not teaching the theory they're just taking parts of it and embedding it in the in the curriculum so that gives us CNN enough cover to say it doesn't exist but it does exist and Mar Del Mar knows it exists he says he read up on it there it is son himself all right there's no question that exists it just isn't called that it's just embedded and you have to see how gently Bill Maher without actually disagreeing with him corrects him it's actually really in terms of quality of communication it's really good I don't know I was just impressed with how he did it that you could see somebody totally fact checked and and I guess I guess here's the frame that makes it interesting CNN is supposed to be the news so CNN is the one supposed to be bringing the facts their guest fact check them on live TV and didn't even get a pushback because he did it so cleverly there was nothing to push back it was really it really done well all right nuclear energy is the new solar panels that's that's me talking nuclear energy is the new solar panels meaning it's the new the new thing it thing Indonesian government said they plan to replace their coal plants with nuclear because they have some questions about the viability of solar and wind and geothermal now almost every story you've seen about nuclear energy in the past six months all positive right and the exception a hundred percent of the news coverage of nuclear energy for the last six months is positive you've never seen that before right I'm not wrong am I it just all turned positive all at once and not only did it turn positive but people are getting that it's the replacement for solar power or an alternative or an addition I wouldn't say replacement um this is gigantic and I have to ask how much did Mark Schneider's influence on this topic matter because he influenced a lot uh how much did Michael schellenberger's influence on this topic matter yeah because I think Sheldon Berger and Mark Schneider were the two voices that I heard the most and I tried to boost their signal as much as possible in my case I'm just a booster um but I feel like there was this giant Battleship that was going in One Direction and there were just a few little tugboats like trying to move it a little bit and I think it changed directions yeah Bill Bill Gates invested in a nuclear power company that's true um how much did The China Syndrome poison perception probably a lot because movies make a big difference probably a lot all right so that's good news nuclear is moving in all the right direction so that's your golden age coming uh as Joe Concha noted in a tweet today Ron De.

Santis is holding a press conference today which is not the interesting part the interesting part is he chose to do it in a town in Florida called Brandon and he's going to be at a Honda dealership called Brandon Honda good job Ron De.

Santis I doubt it's a coincidence probably not a coincidence so good job trolling wise Rasmussen polls uh has a poll result today that says 55 percent of people who are asked the voters I guess say Bannon prosecution is politically motivated 55 percent just think about this 55 of the country thinks that they just watched a man be arrested without a crime and that the government is doing it to punish him for political reasons now I don't know if there's a crime or not I'm no expert on that but it does look like it's a political prosecution I mean I guess technically it's a crime because he he's not showing up for uh to testify um also Rasmussen asked about the O'Keefe raid you know the project Veritas stuff and 52 percent of the public say that's politically motivated abandoned no no Keith to people associated with the political right and over half of the country so that's more than just Republicans right this is over half of the country in both cases say this looks politically motivated there's something happening do you feel it this is part of the story let me I'm going to piece together the whole tapestry as we go but this is important that it's not just the right who notices now that the government has overreached because at 55 percent you're you're way past the number of Republicans you're into the Bill Maher territory where even the the reasonable people on the left are saying wait a minute that's a little too far let's keep going um you heard that uh Jacob chansley he was the so-called Q Anon Shaman the guy who was part of the January 6.

protest I called the protest you got 41 months in federal prison uh one of the longest sentences handed down so far in connection with the event so he got one of the longest sentences did nothing violent didn't threaten anything violent didn't do anything violent they said that his little flag thing was a weapon because I had a flagpole um this is a political prosecution so now we've got Bannon O'Keefe and Jacob chensley now I'm not saying he didn't break a law I'm saying that the penalty is clearly to make an example of them now let me say this as clearly as I can um I can't stand for the national anthem anymore just a personal thing you can do whatever you want I'm not trying to convince you and I'm not uh siding with black lives matter and I'm definitely not going to kneel for the national anthem because I don't kneel for anything right I just don't kneel for things it doesn't matter what it is so I'm not going to be kneeling for anything but I don't think I can stand for a government and I realize the national anthem is not the government per se but you get the point you know that our our Nationals our national symbols they have two purposes one is to unite the country but the other is it gives us a protest Focus so they're kind of Handy in two direct directions that way and personally I don't want to I don't want to show respect for a country that would use somebody as an example if you say write out loud we're going to make an example of somebody I'm done with you I'm that's not a government I support nope you can put somebody in jail because they committed a crime cool but if you put somebody in jail extra long to make an example of him not cool not cool no respect for that so going forward I won't be standing for the national anthem and again uh I don't care what you think about it and I'm not trying to convince you I'm just saying that my personal standard for respecting my government has been surpassed yeah we're I can't respect this government anymore now I got lots of complaints about lots of things as we all do the government gives you lots of stuff to complain about but this is different um yeah I know dude I understand the government is not the country do you listen for a second huh like some people are already flipping out can you understand that I said that directly before you did all right so to disagree with me say something that's different than what I just said right this guy's gonna turn it off oh I'm done with you because you don't understand the government is different than the country just said that I just said that Jesus Christ all right uh go off and be against uh weed uh legalization I think you're on that team all right um do I seem to have an attitude today I know I think it's going to get worse Stay With Me all right um as long as the government is making examples of conservatives I'm done with the government speaking of the government um there's a national equipac poll that gives the GOP a plus eight on a generic ballot what that means is if a generic Republican ran against a generic Democrat which of course doesn't happen in the real world the the Republican would win solidly now um of course you know gerrymandering and all that doesn't make that a real thing but it does show you where the public is at and according to quinnipact Biden approval is only a 36 percent as approval on the economy is 34 and do I need to remind you it's the economy stupid if you're 34 on the economy you can't get reelected and nobody good all right but it doesn't matter he's not going to run anyway um however I should remind you I told you that Rasmussen was plus 13 on a similar question right there's a pretty big difference plus 13 versus Plus 8.

but they're so they're both so solidly in the same direction that means something I should mention that the erasmussen pole which has the higher number 13 Point difference uh they have classically done a better job of taking a representative sample of Voters other polls tend to be Democrat heavy for whatever reason and so I would lean towards rasmus's number of 13 as more credible than the eight but they're both in the same direction so they both say the same thing so the government will fall it appears and it has to has to the government has to fall it is uh disappointed us greatly you want to hear some more disappointment uh I saw this in a tweet by Aaron and I can't say his last name who has a last name that I can't say in public and do you know why it's a last name that I can't say in public that was um I can't say it because the last name is spelled s-i-r-i and if I say his last name it will activate all your i.

Phones so I can't say it but somebody named Aaron with the last name that's a i.

Phone digital assistant he tweets this um that the FDA now this is the FDA is asking this this is it this is a key part of the story the FDA is asking us is asking a federal judge to Grant it until the year 2076.

that's a long time from now to fully release Pfizer's covid-19 vaccination data what wait what I have to read that again the fdas federal judge to Grant it until the year 2076 to fully release Pfizer's covid-19 vaccine data you you the FDA is corrupt obviously if you had any doubt you don't have any doubt now do you uh I have said from the first and again this was a personal opinion that you that the benefit of a doubt or maybe the presumption would be in favor of the vaccines being safe the presumption without without definite knowledge but my personal presumption was that the vaccines were probably safe enough this changes my assumption presumption it changes my presumption I think this information you would have to presume it's unsafe or less safe than they're telling you let me be clear I'm not going to say unsafe that that would be too strong because the evidence doesn't suggest that but it does suggest that it's less safe than reported are you with me why would they hide information if it's good can you think of any reason well there are two reasons to hide information uh well one one reason to hide information if it's good right the two reasons I had information one is it's bad so you don't want people to know but the other is that it's not bad but people might mistakenly think it is now that's the case with Trump's tax returns we don't know if Trump's tax returns show something bad and I really doubt it because you know it gets audited he's got professionals doing stuff but there's a hundred percent chance people would think it was bad because it's complicated and they don't understand taxes there would be something there so the good reason not to release good news is that the good news can be embarrassing because people will misinterpret it but that wouldn't be a problem until 2076.

you could just wait five years you know if if the problem was you know people to misinterpret the data just wait two years right because then the pandemic's mostly over five years to be safe but if you make you know 50 plus years to release this you have to assume they're hiding bad news what else could you assume you now I'm going to give them a little bit of safety it is entirely possible that the government lied to you in what they thought was your best interest here would be an example of what that would look like it could be that the vaccines are more dangerous than has been represented but you're still better off country-wise getting them not individually individually you know all bets are off but it might be better for the country even if they even if everybody knew these were more dangerous than reported it's possible but does your country your government have the right to lie to you for your own benefit they could do it obviously they can do it get away with it but do they have the right to do that no no they don't they don't have that right and for this the government should fall the FDA needs the answer to this and if they can't answer for it the government needs to fall this is a government-ending thing right here if you lie to the public this badly even for good intention yeah and I don't know if it was saying bad intention by anybody but if you lie this badly the the government has to be replaced um and and by the way I have I have no belief that things would have been different under Trump because it's the FDA right it's not really the president who's doing anything on this I don't think not yet so this probably would have been the same the FDA probably would have acted the same under Trump this isn't even political um next topic U.S has reached 100 000 deaths from overdoses 75 percent of them are some big numbers from Fentanyl now that's the way the news is reported but of course the news is reported incorrectly here's a way to correctly report this story uh the real story is China worked with Mexican cartels to murder over 60 000 Americans just this year and our government did almost nothing about it again now when I say again I mean Trump did almost nothing about it I mean he was catching stuff at the border a little more aggressively maybe I don't know uh and he talked to China and China did nothing so that's as close to nothing as you can get I I give Trump a a failing grade on Sentinel and I give Biden the failing great as well but I give the news an extra failing grade because they're not even reporting the story right the story is China is murdering sixty thousand Americans a year through the through the cartels they send the drugs to the cartels to get into this country and our government isn't doing a thing about it that's the story the story is we're being murdered by tens of thousands and our government isn't doing a thing about it the government has to fall the government has to fall unjust this topic and by the way I would say the same thing about Trump I think if we had gone this long and Trump hadn't done a thing about fentanyl I'd want him replaced too just to be clear no politics involved here no politics I don't care who it is if you can't get this done or at least try hard you um what do we do about drug overdoses well it turns out that there's an uh a very clear way to solve it because the Netherlands assault it and other countries have too so this big old drug problem that we're wrestling with it does have a known solution basically you arrest the people who are doing drugs in the streets or addicts basically you force them into rehab you give them a choice of jail or rehab which basically forces them into rehab and it works so you keep arresting the dealers but the people get rehab it's just forced now apparently forced rehab works just as well as voluntary did you know that right rehab isn't really a perfect process it's not very good at all actually but it's the best we have um and it doesn't matter if you're forced into it or you do it voluntarily apparently you get about the same same level of success all right so given that as Michael schellenberger is doing uh at this point he's just a National Treasure because the two two of our biggest problems in the world climate change he's behind the uh the push for nuclear energy and now the drug overdose problem and the homelessness and all that he's taking that on and it turns out that these are problems with Solutions I mean think about this we have lots of problems where you can't really know what the solution is like inflation I don't know exactly what to do about that I mean we could stop wildly spending but but once it's here and we've already done the wild spending what do you do about it so there's lots of problems that we don't know what to do about them but this isn't one of them climate change is not a problem we don't know what to do about it we do nuclear energy this overdose problem is not a problem that we don't know what to do about it we do we know exactly what to do about it because other countries have handled it with great success we just do what they do and there's no reason to think that our culture or you know our our situation our society would have a different outcome at all it once you know what the solutions are I mean they're just basic stuff well so here's my take on China so they've got a one-two punch going on here so they send fentanyl to kill liberals mostly all right now that's a gross generalization there are plenty of conservatives who died from Fentanyl but it's probably concentrated a little bit more on the left now who would normally protects the people on the left in this country the people on the right right it's usually the conservatives who are backing you know strong police forces strong defense you know protection basically but the conservatives are not protecting the people on the left who are dying by tens of thousands why not why not why is why is this the exception I mean generally we have a country where the conservatives are protecting liberals from killing themselves one way or another but why not this time it's because our press is preventing it because the Press decides what we think right that The public's opinion and what we we do is based on the media so to me it looks like China has uh neutered the conservatives because they somehow can control the media and uh and once the conservatives are off the field they can just murder the Liberals because there's nobody there to protect them that's what it looks like to me they just they just neuter the conservatives with the media and murder the Liberals with fentanyl um apparently and I this is an unconfirmed report so put this in the category of things I saw acclaimed on on Twitter I would need a confirmation on this one but apparently the according to the story uh China is paying influencers in this country to run a video that says covet came from the U.S from a white-tailed deer uh that's what China is doing right now they're pushing propaganda in this country in this country paying influencers another's influencer said no turned them down um but they're pushing the idea that came from the white-tailed deer okay um here's a little bit more on China did you know that uh China I think it's the top female player from China she was a whistleblower and said some powerful Chinese Communist guy sexually molested or I don't know the details of that but then she disappeared that's right I hope I'm pronouncing that right she disappeared and nobody knows where she is but they've seen one uh screenshot oh yes I'm I'm I should note that there are lots of conservatives and let's say rural Kentucky who have uh drug problems but the the fentanyl part of their drug problem is accidental as it is for most people actually there are people who do it intentionally um but the overdoses are usually the unintentional guys so this Chinese tennis player was sexually abused or raped I think that is her claim and then the Chinese government disappeared her now Rose Mc.

Gowan uh tweeted on this and um you know Rose Mc.

Gowan got the metoo movement going in this country and this is a bigger story than maybe you think because first of all it seems very clear what happened that the Chinese government probably raped a tennis star she talked about it and then there imprisoning her for just talking about it that probably is what's happening and we're not going to get any confirmation or denial that is credible so we're never going to know what's happening and I don't think we'll ever see her again I I think she's done now up until now I have an opinion that China has mostly pissed off the men in the United States I can't prove that but when I hear people talking about China it's almost always men am I wrong about that give me a fact Jack am I just being a biased sexist or would you agree that when anybody's complaining about China attacking the United States 95 percent of the time it's a man am I right now I'm not saying that there aren't plenty of women who see the same things of course there are but isn't it like 95 male I'm just looking at your comments to see if I'm way off base here it's disproportionate at the very light right disproportionate wouldn't you say all right so here's what may have happened with this feng shui tennis star disappearing this might activate American women in a way that they have not been activated against China it's basically a rape regime um what do you think is happening to the uyghurs right now do you think the uyghurs are getting raped by the guards I would guess yes I would guess yes I would guess that state sanctioned rape is probably a thing it probably is a thing I would bet that the Chinese Communist Party does a lot of raping anybody want to bet against that anyone does anyone want to bet that the the high members of the Chinese Communist Party are raping like crazy you know they are it's a rapist regime and right there's there's nobody who's going to doubt that right there's no pushback on that is there you know the you know they're raping like crazy just because they can there's nothing that would stop them and unfortunately human nature blah blah um so I wonder if uh activating the women in this country if that happens maybe women will ignore this too I don't know but Rose Mc.

Gowan's on it and that means something we know she can influence the country maybe she'll do it again um so it does look like the uh the Biden regime has turned on the country um and in a way that's hard to explain but they will be removed from Power pretty soon all right um I saw a tweet from uh Machiavelli's underbelly so that's just the name he uses for his account and he said this he said I've been watching behavioral Evolution lectures for a few months now and my primary takeaways are at number one nothing close to Free Will could possibly make any sense number two nothing we do is rational but is almost always fit I think he means Works to Keep Us Alive and we're more complex than however complex you think you are all right I agree with all these things but what's interesting is that the way he got there is by watching behavioral Evolution lectures for months and what he's done whether he thought there can't be anything like free will it doesn't make sense get there a different way the way hypnotist gets there is without all the science we just do stuff that makes it clear to us that people don't have free will because you can change people's preferences and then they act differently like where was the free will if I could change it if it gets changed by exterior things and there doesn't seem to be a processing level two hypnotists this was always obvious but science takes a while to catch up all right let's talk about the Rittenhouse trial is there any result yet in the writtenhouse trial I haven't seen anything in the comments so I'm guessing no are the jurors still out so they stayed out again I would like to say that I support the jurors who want to hold out and I'm going to go further than this because we know at this point that the judge and the jury are mostly concerned about public reaction would you agree with that assumption first of all that both the judge and the jury at this point given that we know there's no evidence of a crime would everybody agree with that both the jury and the judge are completely aware there's no evidence of a crime we all know that now because we saw the trial at this point do you know what would the best thing to do would be for the judge to declare I don't know what the legal term would be but just to cancel the trial here's why if I were the judge I would simply make this statement we have a we have this trial and the jurors are justifiably concerned for their safety and that matters because we're going to protect the system we're going to protect the system the legal system and when you have a situation where the jurors are afraid for their lives you can't have a verdict you can't do it and further says there is no evidence of any crime that was presented in the trial I as a judge I'm just going to cancel it not a mistrial not a mistrial with prejudice that's too weak just call it a nothing don't call it a hung jury don't even call it a mistrial just say we're done just say we're done I'll go home there's no evidence of a crime everybody go home tell me that wouldn't work wouldn't it what would be more powerful see my problem is that if there's a mistrial people are going to read it as a technicality and they're going to think he was really guilty am I wrong that a mistrial would make some percentage of the country think that he was actually guilty but got away with it but if the judge said there was no evidence of a crime and we're worried for we're worried for our lives which they should be we're just going to go home because there was no evidence of a crime there's nothing to do here what do you think because that would that would just rock the whole country wouldn't it because there's no name for that like it's not a mistrial it's not a hung jury is what it doesn't have a name that's why it would be brilliant oh is this dismissed is that a thing you saw I'm so ignorant of the law that summary dismissal would that cover what I'm saying summary dismissal met up summary dismissal that might be exactly the thing right summary I guess that just means it's so Wiki case it's ridiculous right somebody's going to paste the um summary dismissal um well I see it in the context of a job all right I only seen an employment what is summary dismissal by a lawyer okay it would be responsive motion for summary judgments uh jury nullification now I wouldn't call it jury nullification a directed verdict yeah maybe that would that would be ballsy wouldn't it imagine the judge I don't know the legal details with us even possible but imagine him just doing a directed verdict and say you know I didn't see any evidence of the crime and I don't want the jurors to get for this I'm a judge I'll take the hit for it dismissed dismissed for lack of evidence so that's a thing right just dismissed for lack of evidence that would be the best I feel like that would be the best outcome don't you uh dismissed okay now if it's dismissed it could still be tried again I think that's that's the the problem but since there was no evidence I don't know that it would be um here's your lesson on cognitive dissonance for the day courtesy of senk uh how do you say senk from The Young Turks how do you pronounce his last name because I hate I hate to botch people's names because it sounds like I'm you know being disrespectful oh it's Jank it's not a sink oh it's Jake okay well I got his first name wrong uh Jank uh ogre or uyghur uh Jank Uber okay all right with all due respect to Jake I did not mean to get his name wrong um and I think I've said his name wrong a bunch of times in the past so I apologize well here's your lesson in cognitive dissonance so I I think The Young Turks were maybe uh anti-written house when it all started but they watched the trial and at least two of them um jenk and Anna have decided that they saw self-defense so my first statement is um good job Jake and Anna for changing your opinions based on evidence that's I'm always impressed when people change their opinion Based on data based on evidence because you think it's never going to happen right but then what happens you're like oh somebody actually changed their mind Based on data well that's not exactly what happened with jenk um what he said in his tweet is that yeah he sees uh he sees the defense of self-defense being valid in this case but he still thinks that Rittenhouse uh is not an angel in the sense that he quote came there and this is a quote from Jack in hopes he could shoot someone what where is that in evidence where's the evidence that Rittenhouse came there in hopes he could shoot someone if you come if you come with a medical kit and you're you stated to everybody that you're going to be defending some property you're cleaning graffiti which part of that indicates to jenk that he came with the hopes to shoot someone that seems like quite the opposite of all the evidence isn't it now again no matter how much evidence there is I can't read his mind to any more than Jenkins so I'm not going to read writtenhouse's mind and say oh I see in there no bad intentions I can't do that but the other thing I can do is I looked into his mind and although all of his actions looked opposite I can see that what he's secretly thinking is he'd like to shoot somebody that's cognitive dissonance if you have to rely on mind reading in public your argument is gone but you can't release it yet so so you sort of shift it to something that's you know adjacent to your argument that you can hold on to but there wasn't anything adjacent to his argument he could hold on to either so he didn't get anything he just gotta got a whiff just shot the miss all right so the bottom line here is that our government has turned against the people is not defending us against China whatsoever they're now helping us with fentanyl at all now helping us protect the Border at all and they're putting Americans in jail to make an example to make an example as soon as you hear that any American is being put in jail for to make an example you should be done with your government because we don't do that that's not the America I will stand for now again I get I get the distinction in the government versus the people I love the people right so I'm very pro-american people and I'm still Pro completely Pro the Republic so I like the Republic I like the people I think you know America has done great things and will do more great things but the government current government has to fail they have to fall because they've gone too far and everybody can see it now all right you can see from the the poll results everybody can see it it's it's now really obvious uh Americans are being hunted just to make a political Point can't live in that country so that's not going to stand we won't have that we will not be Australia the Second Amendment exists for a reason this is it now I'm not saying use guns of course I'm saying that the government ultimately is going to do what you tell it to do why because the Second Amendment I mean not entirely because of that you know they want to keep their jobs and get good ratings and all that stuff too but the people have complete power in this country we're not Australia in Australia the government has power over the people not here not here not ever not here not ever in America the people control the government and it's time to exert that control now probably it'll just be the 2022 election could be you know protests or something but we you know we have mechanisms in place but now it's time now if you think that I'm telling you you should elect Trump I'm not I'm not I'd like to see who's running if you think that I will uncritically support Trump if he gets into the race you're wrong because if De.

Santis is in the race I'm probably going to back him sorry now if uh if Trump wins the primary I probably will back him but Republicans you need to get your house in order what you want to do I'm not a republican I won't advise you but I'm just saying De.

Santis is looking really strong uh Trump is stronger on a lot of things I think but also brings some controversy and he's also of a certain age and you know maybe change is is necessary on the other hand Trump is probably the only personality who can do some of the things that need to get done like he can go further against China for example I think then maybe somebody else could so Trump is a big big benefits and but also big costs and I've always said he's an expensive president but you get your uh but you get your money's worth uh Trump's a better story that's correct yeah if you do the prediction that the better story always wins it's definitely a trump comeback definitely now I could definitely support Trump from the get-go if you know if I thought maybe he'd changed some of his uh some of his approach or change his priorities or something I I could I could be convinced but not right now um yeah what if Trump pivots to the the Kinder nicer lame duck version of himself now here's another thing do you want to elect a a lame duck president from the start and I don't know that sounded rhetorical but I don't know the answer because um normally the second term of a president can be a little dicey because everybody knows they're on the way out if Trump is elected it's the second term so he's a certain age and he's sort of you know on the way out De.

Santis would be a first term president with another term to go so if you wanted to hold power for longer De.

Santis is a better vote a better bet because Trump could easily turn the country you know slip the Congress back the other direction just because people get worked up about him no way in hell would I vote for Scott am I running better to have Trump as vice president now that uh if you want Trump to have a a third term just vote for somebody who will do whatever Trump tells them to do you could get it that way uh can you talk about the grocery industry is corrupt I'll give you one example when I had my product it got placed into 7-Elevens which is a gigantic you know break for a new food company we actually got a shelf space on 7-Elevens and then when we went to check to see how it was doing we couldn't find it anywhere on the Shelf oh it was there but uh the other food companies craft in particular they have people on the ground who will come in and put their product in front of your product if it's a competing product so that's a known thing it's called burying it on the Shelf so the the food business is and then Safeway all name names Safeway is essentially a uh a fraudulent operation uh with the way they treat the the vendors who provide food so they'll sell you some space on the bottom shelf and when I say sell it to you I mean they'll they make you pay to be in the store and then after you've paid as much as you're going to pay they say well there was another fee you say well we didn't negotiate any other fee we've paid everything we're going to pay to be on the Shelf they say well you know you don't have to but we'll take you off the shelf you say okay okay okay I'll pay this extra fee just keep us on the Shelf and then next month they give you another extra fee and you say wait a minute this is now an extra fee on top of an extra fee none of this was ever discussed and they say you don't have to pay it you could just be off the shelf so yeah um Safeway craft those are corrupt corporations and they're they run a corrupt business and the the food industry in general is like that actually um all right I need to run um I can't stay long today and I'll talk to you tomorrow

um

good morning everybody and welcome to

the best thing that will ever happen to

you ever ever and the rest of your life

uh somebody's saying that I kneel for

the national anthem no no I don't kneel

for anything

just to be clear

I'm not going to kneel for the national

anthem and I'm not going to kneel for

the black national anthem or any other

anthems

because I'm not going to kneel for

anything

period I might not stand up but that's a

different now standing up is different

well we'll get into all of that let's

say that on a controversy level today

will be a 10 and a 10. do you like your

controversy and your news do you like it

I know you do you love it

you love it

savor it savor it

all right if you wanted to make this day

special

more special than it already is and it's

already pretty great all you need is a

cup of a glass of tanker Chelsea Stein I

can't even Joker flask a vessel of any

kind fill it with your favorite liquid I

like

coffee

wait a minute wait a minute hold on I'm

getting a report

this from Ben Greenfield uh tweet says a

study of the Japanese adults found that

higher intakes of coffee were associated

with a 51 lower risk of dementia yeah

and green tea didn't help a bit well

screw your green tea coffee will take

your dementia down to nothing

and now the simultaneous sip go

foreign

I don't know about you but I do feel my

dementia going down a little bit

approximately 51 50 51 that's what it

feels like

oh antibodies antibodies coming online

going hot

all right uh you know most topics in the

United States end up coming down to left

and right you had got your Democrats and

you got your liberals

you got your conservatives and your

Public's Republicans on the other side

but there is one topic

that does not seem to line up by party

it's a topic of federal legalization of

weed

it's the only topic that is lined up by

smart people on one side

and then stupid idiots on the

other side

am I wrong

because on the side that wants you know

to legalize and you know stuff like that

you've got your Rand Paul's Republican

he's in favor of loosening up on the

federal stuff but you also have lots of

Democrats

and I would I would guess that if you

took all the Republicans who are in

favor of loosening up and all the

Democrats who were in favor of loosening

up you'd probably have something pretty

good

why is anybody on the other side

yeah the Libertarians do

who's on the other side

because Chuck Schumer is and I guess

some Republican leadership is

this is not about

left or right is it this is not about

that's the weirdest comment I've ever

seen I'm not going to read it uh I

totally threw off my game but

you bastard you bastard You Know Who You

Are

that was pretty funny all right I'm not

going to share that with you

um

but in the the topic of weed

legalization really let's let's stop

calling this political

there are well-informed people who think

we should loosen up

and there are idiots who think

we should

that's it this is the one topic where

it's just smart people and idiots and

it's the cleanest it is the cleanest

topic I've ever seen on this are there

any other topics you've ever seen

in which it broke down not by political

party

it broke down by smart people and

idiots

can you think of anything else like that

honestly is there any other topic like

that

yeah term limits I don't know term

limits sorted

I think that can be all over the place

yeah okay

um Bill Barr continues to be the most

interesting person in political

commentating

because he's doing this uh

something fairly heroic

which he's trying to turn the ship on

his side

but I swear to God he's doing a

single-handedly it's like he doesn't

have any help at all

and what I mean is he's the the only

person with one eye in the land of the

blind

and he's realizing what the left is

doing he can see the overreach

I guess that's the best way to see it

say it he can see that he still likes

you know the left in terms of General

politics but he can see the overreach

and he's trying to push back about that

you're using his platform and he had an

interview with Chris Cuomo that I

definitely recommend you watch

because uh and I I hope I can do this

justice but you have to see Bill Maher

correct a Cuomo in the gentlest way I've

ever seen anybody corrected on anything

and it's it's kind of brilliant I mean I

my instinct was he should have gone

harder at it but when I think about a

little bit more I think the pacing and

the leading are important

so here's the setup

Cuomo says that nobody even understands

what CRT means much less do we teach it

in school it's not being taught in

school and we don't even nobody even

knows what it means

but it's definitely not being taught in

schools

so that's what Cuomo says on CNN your

trusted news source station he says this

to Bill Maher Bill Maher of course knows

this is a lie

in kind right it's not a direct lie but

it is intended to mislead

clearly because the answer is that the

CRT ideas are baked into the into the

curriculum in a lot of schools

and they just don't call it CRT because

they're not teaching the theory they're

just taking parts of it and embedding it

in the in the curriculum

so that gives us CNN enough cover to say

it doesn't exist

but it does exist and Mar Del Mar knows

it exists he says he read up on it there

it is

son himself all right there's no

question that exists it just isn't

called that it's just embedded

and you have to see

how gently Bill Maher without actually

disagreeing with him corrects him it's

actually really in terms of quality of

communication it's really good I don't

know I was just impressed with how he

did it that you could see somebody

totally fact checked

and and I guess I guess here's the frame

that makes it interesting CNN is

supposed to be the news so CNN is the

one supposed to be bringing the facts

their guest

fact check them on live TV

and didn't even get a pushback because

he did it so cleverly

there was nothing to push back

it was really it really done well

all right nuclear energy is the new

solar panels that's that's me talking

nuclear energy is the new solar panels

meaning it's the new the new thing it

thing Indonesian government said they

plan to replace their coal plants with

nuclear because they have some questions

about the viability of solar and wind

and geothermal

now almost every story you've seen about

nuclear energy in the past

six months

all positive right

and the exception

a hundred percent of the news coverage

of nuclear energy for the last six

months

is positive

you've never seen that before

right

I'm not wrong am I it just all turned

positive all at once and not only did it

turn positive but people are getting

that it's the replacement for solar

power or an alternative or an addition I

wouldn't say replacement

um this is gigantic and I have to ask

how much did Mark Schneider's influence

on this topic matter

because he influenced a lot

uh how much did Michael schellenberger's

influence on this topic matter yeah

because I think Sheldon Berger and Mark

Schneider were the two voices that I

heard the most and I tried to boost

their signal as much as possible

in my case I'm just a booster

um

but I feel like there was this giant

Battleship that was going in One

Direction and there were just a few

little tugboats like

trying to move it a little bit and I

think it changed directions

yeah Bill Bill Gates invested in a

nuclear power company that's true

um

how much did The China Syndrome poison

perception probably a lot because movies

make a big difference probably a lot

all right so that's good news nuclear is

moving in all the right direction so

that's your golden age coming

uh as Joe Concha noted in a tweet today

Ron DeSantis is holding a press

conference

today which is not the interesting part

the interesting part is he chose to do

it in a town in Florida called

Brandon

and he's going to be at a Honda

dealership called

Brandon Honda

good job Ron DeSantis I doubt it's a

coincidence probably not a coincidence

so good job trolling wise

Rasmussen polls uh has a poll result

today that says 55 percent of people who

are asked the voters I guess say Bannon

prosecution is politically motivated

55 percent

just think about this

55 of the country

thinks that they just watched a man be

arrested

without a crime and that the government

is doing it to punish him for political

reasons

now I don't know if there's a crime or

not I'm no expert on that but it does

look like it's a political prosecution I

mean I guess technically it's a crime

because he he's not showing up for uh

to testify

[Music]

um also Rasmussen asked about the

O'Keefe raid you know the project

Veritas stuff and 52 percent of the

public say that's politically motivated

abandoned no no Keith to people

associated with the political right and

over half of the country so that's more

than just Republicans right this is over

half of the country in both cases say

this looks politically motivated

there's something happening

do you feel it

this is part of the story let me I'm

going to piece together the whole

tapestry as we go but this is important

that it's not just the right who notices

now that the government has overreached

because at 55 percent you're you're way

past the number of Republicans

you're into the Bill Maher territory

where even the the reasonable people on

the left are saying wait a minute that's

a little too far

let's keep going

um you heard that uh Jacob chansley he

was the so-called Q Anon Shaman the guy

who was part of the January 6. protest I

called the protest you got 41 months in

federal prison

uh one of the longest sentences handed

down so far in connection with the event

so he got one of the longest sentences

did nothing violent

didn't threaten anything violent

didn't do anything violent

they said that his little flag thing was

a weapon because I had a flagpole

um this is a political

prosecution

so now we've got Bannon O'Keefe and

Jacob chensley now I'm not saying he

didn't break a law I'm saying that the

penalty is clearly to make an example of

them now let me say this as clearly as I

can

um I can't stand for the national anthem

anymore

just a personal thing you can do

whatever you want I'm not trying to

convince you and I'm not uh siding with

black lives matter and I'm definitely

not going to kneel for the national

anthem because I don't kneel for

anything

right I just don't kneel for things it

doesn't matter what it is

so I'm not going to be kneeling for

anything but I don't think I can stand

for a government and I realize the

national anthem is not the government

per se but you get the point you know

that our our Nationals our national

symbols

they have two purposes one is to unite

the country but the other is it gives us

a protest

Focus

so they're kind of Handy in two direct

directions that way

and personally I don't want to I don't

want to show respect for a country that

would use somebody as an example

if you say write out loud we're going to

make an example of somebody I'm done

with you

I'm that's not a government I support

nope you can put somebody in jail

because they committed a crime

cool

but if you put somebody in jail extra

long to make an example of him

not cool

not cool no respect for that so going

forward I won't be standing for the

national anthem and again

uh I don't care what you think about it

and I'm not trying to convince you I'm

just saying that my personal standard

for respecting my government has been

surpassed yeah we're I can't respect

this government anymore now I got lots

of complaints about lots of things as we

all do the government gives you lots of

stuff to complain about but this is

different

um

yeah I know dude I understand the

government is not the country do you

listen for a second huh like

some people are already flipping out

can you understand that I said

that directly before you did all right

so to disagree with me say something

that's different than what I

just said

right this guy's gonna turn it off oh

I'm done with you because you don't

understand the government is different

than the country just said that

I just said that

Jesus Christ

all right uh go off and be against uh

weed

uh legalization I think you're on that

team

all right um

do I seem to have an attitude today

I know I think it's going to get worse

Stay With Me

all right um

as long as the government is making

examples of conservatives I'm done with

the government speaking of the

government

um there's a national equipac poll that

gives the GOP a plus eight on a generic

ballot what that means is if a generic

Republican ran against a generic

Democrat which of course doesn't happen

in the real world the the Republican

would win solidly

now

um of course you know gerrymandering and

all that doesn't make that a real thing

but it does show you where the public is

at and according to quinnipact Biden

approval is only a 36 percent

as approval on the economy is 34 and do

I need to remind you it's the economy

stupid

if you're 34 on the economy you can't

get reelected and nobody good all right

but it doesn't matter he's not going to

run anyway

um however I should remind you I told

you that Rasmussen was plus 13 on a

similar question right

there's a pretty big difference plus 13

versus Plus 8.

but they're so they're both so solidly

in the same direction

that means something I should mention

that the erasmussen pole which has the

higher number 13 Point difference uh

they have classically done a better job

of taking a representative sample of

Voters

other polls tend to be Democrat heavy

for whatever reason

and so I would lean towards rasmus's

number of 13 as more credible than the

eight but they're both in the same

direction so they both say the same

thing

so the government will fall it appears

and it has to

has to

the government has to fall it is uh

disappointed

us greatly you want to hear some more

disappointment

uh I saw this in a tweet by Aaron and I

can't say his last name

who has a last name that I can't say in

public

and do you know why

it's a last name that I can't say in

public

that was

um

I can't say it because the last name is

spelled s-i-r-i

and if I say his last name it will

activate all your iPhones

so I can't say it

but

somebody named Aaron

with the last name that's a iPhone

digital assistant

he tweets this

um

that the FDA now this is the FDA is

asking this

this is it this is a key part of the

story the FDA is asking us

is asking a federal judge to Grant it

until the year 2076.

that's a long time from now to fully

release Pfizer's covid-19 vaccination

data

what

wait what I have to read that again the

fdas federal judge to Grant it until the

year 2076 to fully release Pfizer's

covid-19 vaccine data you

you

the FDA is corrupt obviously

if you had any doubt

you don't have any doubt now do you

uh I have said from the first and again

this was a personal opinion that you

that the benefit of a doubt or maybe the

presumption would be in favor of the

vaccines being safe

the presumption without without definite

knowledge

but my personal presumption

was that the vaccines were probably safe

enough

this changes my assumption

presumption it changes my presumption

I think this information you would have

to presume it's unsafe or less safe than

they're telling you let me be clear I'm

not going to say unsafe

that that would be too strong because

the evidence doesn't suggest that but it

does suggest that it's less safe than

reported

are you with me

why would they hide information if it's

good

can you think of any reason

well there are two reasons to hide

information uh well one one reason to

hide information if it's good

right the two reasons I had information

one is it's bad so you don't want people

to know

but the other is that it's not bad but

people might mistakenly think it is now

that's the case with Trump's tax returns

we don't know if Trump's tax returns

show something bad and I really doubt it

because you know it gets audited he's

got professionals doing stuff but

there's a hundred percent chance people

would think it was bad because it's

complicated and they don't understand

taxes there would be something there so

the good reason not to release good news

is that the good news can be

embarrassing because people will

misinterpret it

but that wouldn't be a problem until

2076.

you could just wait five years

you know if if the problem was you know

people to misinterpret the data just

wait two years right because then the

pandemic's mostly over five years to be

safe but if you make you know 50 plus

years to release this

you have to assume they're hiding bad

news

what else could you assume

you

now

I'm going to give them a little bit of

safety

it is entirely possible that the

government lied to you in what they

thought was your best interest

here would be an example of what that

would look like it could be that the

vaccines are more dangerous than has

been represented but you're still better

off country-wise getting them

not individually individually you know

all bets are off but it might be better

for the country even if they even if

everybody knew these were more dangerous

than reported

it's possible but

does your country your government have

the right

to lie to you for your own benefit they

could do it obviously they can do it get

away with it but do they have the right

to do that

no

no they don't they don't have that right

and for this the government should fall

the FDA needs the answer to this and if

they can't answer for it the government

needs to fall

this is a government-ending

thing right here if you lie to the

public this badly even for good

intention yeah and I don't know if it

was saying bad intention by anybody but

if you lie this badly the the government

has to be replaced

um and and by the way I have I have no

belief that things would have been

different under Trump because it's the

FDA right it's not really the president

who's doing anything on this I don't

think not yet

so this probably would have been the

same the FDA probably would have acted

the same under Trump this isn't even

political

um

next topic U.S has reached 100 000

deaths from overdoses

75 percent of them are some big numbers

from Fentanyl

now that's the way the news is reported

but of course the news is reported

incorrectly

here's a way to correctly report this

story

uh the real story is China worked with

Mexican cartels to murder over 60 000

Americans just this year

and our government did almost nothing

about it

again

now when I say again

I mean Trump did almost nothing about it

I mean he was catching stuff at the

border a little more aggressively maybe

I don't know uh and he talked to China

and China did nothing so that's as close

to nothing as you can get

I I give Trump a a failing grade on

Sentinel and I give Biden the failing

great as well

but I give the news an extra failing

grade because they're not even reporting

the story right the story is

China is murdering sixty thousand

Americans a year through the

through the cartels they send the drugs

to the cartels to get into this country

and our government isn't doing a

thing about it

that's the story the story is we're

being murdered by tens of thousands and

our government isn't doing a

thing about it the government

has to fall

the government

has to fall

unjust this topic and by the way I would

say the same thing about Trump I think

if we had gone this long and Trump

hadn't done a thing about

fentanyl I'd want him replaced too

just to be clear no politics involved

here no politics I don't care who it is

if you can't get this done or at least

try hard

you

um

what do we do about drug overdoses well

it turns out that there's an uh a very

clear way to solve it because the

Netherlands assault it and other

countries have too

so this big old drug problem that we're

wrestling with it does have a known

solution

basically you arrest the people who are

doing drugs in the streets or addicts

basically you force them into rehab you

give them a choice of jail or rehab

which basically forces them into rehab

and it works so you keep arresting the

dealers

but the people get rehab it's just

forced

now apparently forced rehab works just

as well as voluntary did you know that

right rehab isn't really a perfect

process it's not very good at all

actually but it's the best we have

um and it doesn't matter if you're

forced into it or you do it voluntarily

apparently you get about the same same

level of success

all right

so given that as Michael schellenberger

is doing uh at this point he's just a

National Treasure because the two two of

our biggest problems in the world

climate change he's behind the uh the

push for nuclear energy and now the drug

overdose problem and the homelessness

and all that he's taking that on and it

turns out that these are problems with

Solutions

I mean think about this we have lots of

problems where you can't really know

what the solution is like inflation

I don't know exactly what to do about

that I mean we could stop wildly

spending but but once it's here and

we've already done the wild spending

what do you do about it so there's lots

of problems that we don't know what to

do about them but this isn't one of them

climate change is not a problem we don't

know what to do about it we do nuclear

energy

this overdose problem is not a problem

that we don't know what to do about it

we do we know exactly what to do about

it because other countries have handled

it with great success we just do what

they do and there's no reason to think

that our culture or you know our our

situation our society would have a

different outcome at all

it once you know what the solutions are

I mean they're just basic stuff

well

so here's my take on China so they've

got a one-two punch going on here so

they send fentanyl to kill liberals

mostly all right now that's a gross

generalization there are plenty of

conservatives who died from Fentanyl but

it's probably concentrated a little bit

more on the left now who would normally

protects the people on the left in this

country

the people on the right

right it's usually the conservatives who

are backing you know strong police

forces strong defense you know

protection basically but the

conservatives are not protecting the

people on the left who are dying by tens

of thousands why not

why not

why is why is this the exception

I mean generally we have a country where

the conservatives are protecting

liberals from killing themselves one way

or another

but why not this time

it's because our press

is preventing it because the Press

decides what we think right that The

public's opinion and what we we do is

based on the media so to me it looks

like China has uh neutered the

conservatives because they somehow can

control the media and uh and once the

conservatives are off the field they can

just murder the Liberals because there's

nobody there to protect them

that's what it looks like to me

they just they just neuter the

conservatives with the media and murder

the Liberals with fentanyl

um

apparently and I this is an unconfirmed

report so put this in the category of

things I saw acclaimed on on Twitter I

would need a confirmation on this one

but apparently the according to the

story uh China is paying influencers in

this country to run a video that says

covet came from the U.S from a

white-tailed deer

uh that's what China is doing right now

they're pushing propaganda in this

country in this country paying

influencers another's influencer said no

turned them down

um

but they're pushing the idea that came

from the white-tailed deer

okay

um here's a little bit more on China did

you know that uh China I think it's the

top female player

from China

she was a whistleblower and said some

powerful

Chinese Communist guy sexually molested

or I don't know the details of that but

then she disappeared

that's right

I hope I'm pronouncing that right she

disappeared and nobody knows where she

is but they've seen one uh screenshot

oh yes I'm I'm I should note that there

are lots of conservatives and let's say

rural Kentucky who have uh drug problems

but the the fentanyl part of their drug

problem is accidental as it is for most

people actually

there are people who do it intentionally

um

but the overdoses are usually the

unintentional guys

so this Chinese tennis player was

sexually abused or raped I think that is

her claim and then the Chinese

government disappeared her

now Rose McGowan uh tweeted on this

and

um you know Rose McGowan got the metoo

movement going in this country

and

this is a bigger story than maybe you

think

because first of all it seems very clear

what happened that the Chinese

government probably raped a tennis star

she talked about it and then there

imprisoning her

for just talking about it

that probably

is what's happening and we're not going

to get any confirmation or denial that

is credible so we're never going to know

what's happening and I don't think we'll

ever see her again

I I think she's done

now

up until now I have an opinion that

China has mostly pissed off the men in

the United States I can't prove that

but when I hear people talking about

China it's almost always men

am I wrong about that

give me a fact Jack am I just being a

biased sexist

or would you agree that when anybody's

complaining about China attacking the

United States

95 percent of the time it's a man am I

right

now I'm not saying that there aren't

plenty of women who see the same things

of course there are

but isn't it like 95 male

I'm just looking at your comments to see

if I'm way off base here

it's disproportionate at the very light

right

disproportionate wouldn't you say

all right so here's what may have

happened with this feng shui tennis star

disappearing

this might activate American women

in a way that they have not been

activated against China

it's basically a rape regime

um what do you think is happening to the

uyghurs right now

do you think the uyghurs are getting

raped by the guards

I would guess yes

I would guess yes I would guess that

state sanctioned rape is probably a

thing

it probably is a thing I would bet that

the Chinese Communist Party does a lot

of raping

anybody want to bet against that anyone

does anyone want to bet

that the the high members of the Chinese

Communist Party are raping like crazy

you know they are

it's a rapist regime and

right there's there's nobody who's going

to doubt that right there's no pushback

on that is there

you know the you know they're raping

like crazy just because they can there's

nothing that would stop them and

unfortunately human nature blah blah

um so I wonder if uh activating the

women in this country if that happens

maybe women will ignore this too I don't

know but Rose McGowan's on it and that

means something

we know she can influence the country

maybe she'll do it again

um

so it does look like the uh

the Biden

regime has turned on the country

um

and in a way that's hard to explain but

they will be removed from Power pretty

soon

all right

um

I saw a tweet from uh Machiavelli's

underbelly

so that's just the name he uses for his

account and he said this he said I've

been watching behavioral Evolution

lectures for a few months now and my

primary takeaways are at number one

nothing close to Free Will could

possibly make any sense

number two nothing we do is rational but

is almost always fit I think he means

Works to Keep Us Alive

and we're more complex than however

complex you think you are all right I

agree with all these things but what's

interesting is that the way he got there

is by watching behavioral Evolution

lectures for months

and what he's done whether he thought

there can't be anything like free will

it doesn't make sense

get there a different way

the way hypnotist gets there is without

all the science

we just do stuff that makes it clear to

us that people don't have free will

because you can change people's

preferences

and then they act differently like where

was the free will if I could change it

if it gets changed by exterior things

and there doesn't seem to be a

processing level

two hypnotists this was always obvious

but science takes a while to catch up

all right let's talk about the

Rittenhouse trial is there any result

yet in the writtenhouse trial I haven't

seen anything in the comments so I'm

guessing no are the jurors still out

so they stayed out again I would like to

say that I support the jurors who want

to hold out and I'm going to go further

than this

because we know at this point that the

judge and the jury are mostly concerned

about public reaction would you agree

with that assumption first of all that

both the judge

and the jury at this point

given that we know there's no evidence

of a crime would everybody agree with

that

both the jury and the judge are

completely aware there's no evidence of

a crime we all know that now because we

saw the trial

at this point

do you know what would the best thing to

do would be

for the judge

to declare

I don't know what the legal term would

be

but just to cancel the trial

here's why

if I were the judge I would simply make

this statement

we have a we have this trial

and the jurors are justifiably concerned

for their safety

and that matters

because we're going to protect the

system

we're going to protect the system the

legal system and when you have a

situation where the jurors are afraid

for their lives you can't have a verdict

you can't do it and further

says there is no evidence of any crime

that was presented in the trial I as a

judge I'm just going to cancel it

not a mistrial not a mistrial with

prejudice that's too weak

just call it a nothing

don't call it a hung jury

don't even call it a mistrial

just say we're done

just say we're done I'll go home

there's no evidence of a crime everybody

go home

tell me that wouldn't work

wouldn't it

what would be more powerful see my

problem is that if there's a mistrial

people are going to read it as a

technicality

and they're going to think he was really

guilty

am I wrong

that a mistrial would make some

percentage of the country think

that he was actually guilty but got away

with it

but if the judge said there was no

evidence of a crime

and we're worried for we're worried for

our lives which they should be we're

just going to go home

because there was no evidence of a crime

there's nothing to do here

what do you think

because that would that would just rock

the whole country wouldn't it

because there's no name for that

like it's not a mistrial it's not a hung

jury

is what

it doesn't have a name that's why it

would be brilliant

oh is this dismissed

is that a thing you saw I'm so ignorant

of the law that

summary dismissal

would that cover what I'm saying

summary dismissal

met up

summary dismissal that might be exactly

the thing right

summary I guess that just means it's so

Wiki case it's ridiculous right

somebody's going to paste the

um summary dismissal

um

well I see it in the context of a job

all right I only seen an employment

what is summary dismissal by a lawyer

okay

it would be responsive motion for

summary judgments

uh jury nullification now I wouldn't

call it jury nullification

a directed verdict yeah maybe

that would that would be ballsy wouldn't

it imagine the judge I don't know the

legal details with us even possible

but imagine him just doing a directed

verdict and say you know

I didn't see any evidence of the crime

and I don't want the jurors to

get for this I'm a judge I'll take the

hit for it dismissed

dismissed for lack of evidence so that's

a thing right just dismissed for lack of

evidence that would be the best I feel

like that would be the best outcome

don't you

uh

dismissed okay now if it's dismissed it

could still be tried again I think

that's that's the the problem but since

there was no evidence I don't know that

it would be

um here's your lesson on cognitive

dissonance for the day courtesy of senk

uh

how do you say senk from The Young Turks

how do you pronounce his last name

because I hate I hate to botch people's

names because it sounds like I'm you

know being disrespectful

oh it's Jank

it's not a sink oh it's Jake okay well I

got his first name wrong uh Jank

uh ogre or uyghur

uh Jank Uber okay

all right with all due respect to Jake I

did not mean to get his name wrong

um and I think I've said his name wrong

a bunch of times in the past so I

apologize

well here's your lesson in cognitive

dissonance so I I think The Young Turks

were maybe uh anti-written house when it

all started but they watched the trial

and at least two of them

um jenk and Anna have decided that they

saw self-defense

so my first statement is

um good job

Jake and Anna for changing your opinions

based on evidence

that's I'm always impressed when people

change their opinion Based on data

based on evidence because you think it's

never going to happen right but then

what happens you're like oh somebody

actually changed their mind Based on

data well that's not exactly what

happened with jenk

um what he said in his tweet is that

yeah he sees uh he sees the defense of

self-defense being valid in this case

but he still thinks that Rittenhouse uh

is not an angel in the sense that he

quote came there and this is a quote

from Jack in hopes he could shoot

someone

what where is that in evidence

where's the evidence that Rittenhouse

came there in hopes he could shoot

someone

if you come if you come with a medical

kit

and you're you stated to everybody that

you're going to be defending some

property you're cleaning graffiti

which part of that indicates to jenk

that he came with the hopes to shoot

someone

that seems like quite the opposite of

all the evidence isn't it now again no

matter how much evidence there is I

can't read his mind to any more than

Jenkins so I'm not going to read

writtenhouse's mind and say oh I see in

there no bad intentions

I can't do that but the other thing I

can do is I looked into his mind and

although all of his actions looked

opposite I can see that what he's

secretly thinking is he'd like to shoot

somebody

that's cognitive dissonance

if you have to rely on mind reading in

public

your argument is gone but you can't

release it yet so so you sort of shift

it to something that's you know adjacent

to your argument that you can hold on to

but there wasn't anything adjacent to

his argument he could hold on to either

so he didn't get anything he just gotta

got a whiff

just shot the miss

all right

so the bottom line here is that our

government has turned against the people

is not defending us against China

whatsoever

they're now helping us with fentanyl at

all

now helping us protect the Border at all

and they're putting Americans in jail to

make an example

to make an example

as soon as you hear that any American is

being put in jail for to make an example

you should be done with your government

because we don't do that that's not the

America I will stand for now again I get

I get the distinction in the government

versus the people I love the people

right so I'm very

pro-american people

and I'm still Pro completely Pro the

Republic

so I like the Republic

I like the people I think you know

America has done great things and will

do more great things

but the government current government

has to fail

they have to fall

because they've gone too far and

everybody can see it now all right you

can see from the the poll results

everybody can see it it's it's now

really obvious uh Americans are being

hunted just to make a political Point

can't live in that country

so that's not going to stand we won't

have that we will not be Australia the

Second Amendment exists for a reason

this is it now I'm not saying use guns

of course I'm saying that the government

ultimately is going to do what you tell

it to do

why because the Second Amendment

I mean not entirely because of that you

know they want to keep their jobs and

get good ratings and all that stuff too

but the people have complete power in

this country we're not Australia

in Australia the government has power

over the people

not here

not here not ever

not here not ever

in America the people control the

government and it's time

to exert that control now probably it'll

just be the 2022 election

could be you know protests or something

but we you know we have mechanisms in

place

but now it's time

now if you think that I'm telling you

you should elect Trump

I'm not

I'm not I'd like to see who's running

if you think that I will uncritically

support Trump if he gets into the race

you're wrong

because if DeSantis is in the race I'm

probably going to back him

sorry

now if uh if Trump wins the primary I

probably will back him

but Republicans you need to get your

house in order what you want to do I'm

not a republican I won't advise you

but I'm just saying DeSantis is looking

really strong

uh Trump is stronger

on a lot of things I think but also

brings some controversy and he's also of

a certain age and you know

maybe change is is necessary

on the other hand Trump is probably the

only personality who can do some of the

things that need to get done

like he can go further against China for

example I think

then maybe somebody else could so Trump

is a big big benefits and but also big

costs

and I've always said he's an expensive

president but you get your uh

but you get your money's worth

uh Trump's a better story that's correct

yeah if you do the prediction that the

better story always wins it's definitely

a trump comeback

definitely now I could definitely

support Trump

from the get-go if you know if I thought

maybe he'd changed some of his uh some

of his approach or change his priorities

or something I I could I could be

convinced

but not right now

um

yeah what if Trump pivots to the the

Kinder nicer lame duck version of

himself now here's another thing do you

want to elect a a lame duck president

from the start

and I don't know that sounded rhetorical

but I don't know the answer because

um normally the second term of a

president can be a little dicey because

everybody knows they're on the way out

if Trump is elected it's the second term

so he's a certain age and he's

sort of you know on the way out DeSantis

would be a first term president with

another term to go

so if you wanted to hold power

for longer DeSantis is a better vote a

better bet

because Trump could easily turn the

country you know slip the Congress back

the other direction just because people

get worked up about him

no way in hell would I vote for Scott

am I running

better to have Trump as vice president

now that

uh if you want Trump to have a a third

term

just vote for somebody who will do

whatever Trump tells them to do

you could get it that way

uh can you talk about the grocery

industry is corrupt I'll give you one

example when I had my product it got

placed into

7-Elevens which is a gigantic

you know break for a new food company we

actually got a shelf space on 7-Elevens

and then when we went to check to see

how it was doing we couldn't find it

anywhere on the Shelf

oh it was there

but uh the other food companies craft in

particular they have people on the

ground who will come in and put their

product in front of your product if it's

a competing product so that's a known

thing it's called burying it on the

Shelf

so the the food business is and then

Safeway all name names Safeway is

essentially a uh a fraudulent operation

uh with the way they treat the the

vendors who provide food so they'll sell

you some space on the bottom

shelf and when I say sell it to you I

mean they'll they make you pay to be in

the store

and then after you've paid as much as

you're going to pay they say well there

was another fee

you say well we didn't negotiate any

other fee we've paid everything we're

going to pay to be on the Shelf they say

well you know you don't have to but

we'll take you off the shelf you say

okay okay okay I'll pay this extra fee

just keep us on the Shelf

and then next month they give you

another extra fee

and you say wait a minute

this is now an extra fee on top of an

extra fee none of this was ever

discussed

and they say you don't have to pay it

you could just be off the shelf

so yeah

um Safeway craft those are corrupt

corporations and they're they run a

corrupt business and the the food

industry in general is like that

actually

um

all right I need to run

um I can't stay long today and I'll talk

to you tomorrow
